"I heard Sakurai was threatening several knights, including Princess Knaust and her twin sisters.They will help us as soon as Princess Knaust returns. "
The location is in the passage of a hospital located in the Adventurers' School.
In front of Tennai, who sat down on the sofa placed there, Cypress Kaki, who directed the morality commissioner, said so.
Commissioner Hitogaki, who knew the situation when Yulia was brought to the hospital by Tennai's hand, is now on the move to solve the case, and most of the personnel are paying.
In that context, Hitogaki was here to interview Yulia, whose consciousness had returned, and at the same time to exchange words with Tennai, one of the parties to the case who had been ordered to wait in the hospital.
"... what the hell is he gonna do?"
The sky squeaks with his face down.
Hitogaki simply said "I don't know" to the powerless, terribly quiet words.
"As far as I know, his immediate purpose is the necklace of a fool.I don't think I'll ever leave town until it's in school..... "
Even the longest dating cypress didn't know anything more.
I can't imagine the process of reaching the goal point even though I can see it.That fact pointed to the specificity of Sakurai.
"(I don't know... I don't know anything anymore)"
Previously, from now on.
Past failures and denials, as well as anxiety about this abduction incident, made my head in heaven almost chaotic.
I want answers.
I want a solution that breaks down every difficulty, like a protagonist.
But after all, I am a general person with some memory of my previous life.
All I had left was the desire to save Reika Akano.
Cypress, I'll look for it myself.
"No, you should rest. [M]If we're looking for him, if we don't assemble and move, we'll see a gap. "
"Don't move."
"Rest, but my words are not enforceable."
He was told that he could not join the search for the morality commissioners, and Tennai put his hands on his forehead to hold his head without returning words to it.
Hitogaki also leaves the scene without saying a word.She had something to do before encouragement.
…………
Born into this world, I knew I was "Tennai Hayato".
Think there's something you can do, believe that you can do what you want to protect.
"This is the result, or too stupid. This is it."
The words that sprang up quickly made me laugh at myself, but I was still a little light-hearted... no, I was able to get out of my mind and I got a feeling of disgust.
Ugh!
I punch myself in the forehead with little relief, even though nothing has been solved.
He beat himself twice or three times to punish himself, pushed his emotions in, and sighed small again.
"Look, I'm not blaming myself."
Huh?
It was Yulia who walked with her crutches into the horizon with her face raised.
With the exception of a bandage wrapped around his forehead and a gauze filled around his neck, his appearance remained unchanged from normal times, and his gentle smile and leeway unexpectedly corrected his posture.
"Is your body okay?"
"Thanks to you. Thanks to you, I've been kept to a point where I can't take care of myself."
"... can I talk to you?"
"Of course, that's why I'm here."
Sitting next to Heaven, Yulia peeked into his face and muttered as if she was convinced.
"We don't have much time, so let's just talk about the main points.But I don't know if I can help you because all I have is piecemeal information. "
"That's fine. Anyway, now it's time to get closer to what Sakurai thinks."
"Then let's skip how I got caught.I was ambushed in the middle of the night and caught.In the meantime, I exchanged many words, but it seems that his purpose was yours from the beginning. "
"What do you mean?"
"'Change who you want to team up with', 'Threaten your friends quickly to make a token to catch Reika Akano.That's why I grab it "... he said."
"The aim in the first place is Linghua!?"
The worst imagination comes to mind in heaven.
Why was my childhood familiarity targeted?Who is Sakurai's "partner"?
"Nah, why... Linghua. What's the reason?"
"I don't even know the detailed reason.However, Sakurai-kun said, "Even if we teamed up, we would need a souvenir..."
Yulia replied to the inquiry with a feeling of scratch.
Hearing that, Tennai creates an expression that looks like she chewed off a bitter bug.
Because the souvenir was Akano, and I was convinced that the opponent was Obsidian's sword.
"Ryoka Akano" is a heroin in the game, and it is heroin, but therefore has a different specificity from others (mobs).
Its specificity is called "perfect suitability for magicianization."
Obsidian swords have drawbacks in their development of Magic Manipulation technology.
It means that there are differences between monsters that fit people and that they run wild depending on the willpower of the recipient.
Because of this, the Magic Manipulation technology has become a one-off technology that can only be applied to selected humans, and there was a stalemate that mass production is not possible.
The key to solving this is Reika Akano's "perfect suitability".
Her flesh and blood can be adapted to all monsters, and Obsidian swords will target her as the key to Magus mass production when her qualities are discovered during production.
"(But even if you have physical aptitude, you can't defeat the monster in the end. Without the spirit, you can't defeat the Magus.It was clearly stated by Pigmarion Don Troll, who caught her in production.Sakurai can't be unaware of that) "
But I can't help but wonder if Sakurai, who knows about it, has found some way to do it.
Akano would be a fine souvenir if he could articulate his means to the reincarnated in the Obsidian sword that probably exists.
"But I can't believe I'm going to change who I'm going to team up with right now..."
"That would be... my responsibility."
Huh?
It was Yulia who responded to the leaking question.
Turning to her face, she lowered her eyebrows and felt terribly sorry for her usual change.
"As a matter of fact, I saw you and Baldasare fighting in the square yesterday with Sakurai-kun."
"Sakurai and... that fight?"
"It was a coincidence that we met.I knew you and Sakurai-kun were working together, so I thought it might be one way to deepen our relationship a little, so I asked from the shade. "
Heaven narrowed its eyes and frowned.
Rather than seeing events in that square as favorable to him, it is a bitter memory that is still being dragged into his heart.
I couldn't afford to cover my face when I was exposed to hiding and watching it.
"Personally, I think it was a good match for each other to grow.But Sakurai saw the battle and began to think as if something had changed.I might have been worried about continuing to cooperate with you at that time. "
In response to his troubled appearance, Julia said to Heaven, "I'm sure it's your strength to keep moving" and pushed his back.
And they were raided that day, and they laughed sadly that the result was as you can see.
Tennai looked at the situation and Yulia seemed to regret that this would not have happened if she had not defeated Sakurai.
"(... after all, it's my fault)"
After all, I was clear that the reason why Sakurai changed his mind was his own lack of strength in the first place.
If the cause was my fault, the problem must have come to light sooner or later.
I'm sorry.
Hayato Tennai is all bad.
"Ha, ha."
If you can clearly pinpoint the fact to this point, you can understand it even if you don't like it, and I leaked a dry laugh around the fact that I got caught up in the surroundings because of my stupidity.
"I'm sorry. Tell me not to blame myself, my words will kill you."
"I don't mind. Thanks to this, the problem is clear and I think I can think positively about what to do from now on."
Seeing this, Yulia opened and closed her mouth several times in an attempt to say something in heaven, but closed her mouth as if she had not found the words to call.
Dozens of seconds passed while each other remained silent.It was Yulia who broke the silence.
She takes a piece of paper out of her jacket pocket and puts it in front of him.
Tiannai asked with her gaze what the paper was before receiving it.
"I found it in my pocket while I was being treated.Perhaps Sakurai-kun wrote a note.I don't know what this means, but I'm sure it'll lead me closer to him. It's just.... "
"Just?"
"It is written with a unique ciphertext and cannot be read.I hope you know something. "
When I was receiving the paper that Tiannai had given me, I saw that it was wrinkled on my forehead.
Inside the memo was a vast array of numbers.
From the first line, there was an arrangement of numbers that showed some regularity in the condition of "31122222 * 55555448 * 0003334 *", which lasted for several lines.
…………
"Is there anything I can think of?"
Tennai quietly shook his neck to the side and returned the paper.
Yulia said, "I see." Unfortunately, when she received the paper, she stood up to support her crutches.
"We cadets also follow Sakurai's footsteps.I'll let you know as soon as I know anything. So for a while now. "
"I understand that it is better not to move poorly on my part as a party and an amateur because I was also told by the chairman of the Hitogaki Committee.So, please. "
"Oh, sure. Wait for the good news."
Yulia left the scene whistling her wand.
Inside the ceiling, keep staring at the back of the sofa until you can't see it, then look up at the ceiling with your weight on it.
A ceiling covered with plain white tiles.
Several rows of numbers emerge in the gaze.
It was a series of numbers written in the memo that Tennai saw, and he remembered exactly all of them in just a dozen seconds.
There are laws in the numbers lined up.That's why Julia said this was a ciphertext.
But it's not a ciphertext or anything like this.It's just a sentence that took a long time to convert.
"(But this is only known to reincarnated people.I wouldn't have thought of typing a cell phone if I hadn't known it in the first place.) "
Even in my previous life, Tennai decrypted the text while remembering the memory of the mobile phone that was given to me by my parents as a contact during my childhood, and the exchange of e-mails using it.
In this world where mobile phones do not exist, there is no one but the reincarnated who can tell that this array of numbers shows a character input method using the numeric keypad of the gallery that can now be said to be nostalgic.
Conversely, because it is a string that only the reincarnated can understand, Tennai was convinced that this was a message from Sakurai.
And should I say yes?The first sentence of a sentence correctly transformed in the brain was undoubtedly directed into heaven.
Sogo-no-Yasuda
The rest of the sentences were briefly marked with time and place.
Heaven reads it, meditates on its eyes, and exhales a thin breath.
If that's what he is, this is his last chance.
The words fell unexpectedly into Stone and Heaven's breasts.
"... fuu"
Hayato Tennai stood up slowly.
The attitude of waiting to keep getting ready created this situation, so I had to move myself... such vague thoughts raised Heaven.
Neither did I decide to be prepared, nor did I renew my determination, nor did I come up with a clear vision.
Only a sense of self-blame and a sense of mission that you must help a child who has been grabbed, that the force in your feet cannot get caught up in any more.
Tennai realized that she was far from being the protagonist of the story, but still couldn't stop her legs and walked out.
With loose and uncertain steps.Like a ghost.
Still walking forward little by little, one person disappeared from the hospital.
--There were two people looking down through the windows upstairs.
"... I think it's too rough to heal with boulders."
"It's okay, because I believe in him and Sakurai believes he will stand up."
Hitogaki, chairman of the Takashi History Committee.
How, royalty, Julia von Knaust.
The two people involved in the complicity talked about their feelings while thinking about the inner sky entangled in the scheme this time.
"Honestly, I don't think his plan will succeed.Even though I was told that my consciousness would change in a positive direction by imitating such a hunted human back even further. "
"You must have decided that Tiannai's problem was so deep that you had to do so much.I think the same thing. "
"The princess has bought too much about Sakurai.I'm sure he only has such a clumsy idea as, "It'll feel good if something shocking happens."
"It may or may not be.But at least he has the enthusiasm and momentum to make me think he can handle it. "
Indeed, Sakurai has enough calories and momentum to get involved.It was also a strong feeling of cypress through the encounter with him.
If I hadn't met him anyway, my oncological madness would have continued to grow in severity, and if I hadn't fallen into the underworld with him, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to realize my foolishness.
Although Iris was the one who encouraged him to reflect and correct himself from the animal path to the human path, he was always at the beginning of things, and the enthusiasm and momentum drove him here now.
She did not have the words to deny the fact.
"Still, I don't think anyone can stand up."
Not everyone can stand up from their weaknesses and mistakes.
Rather, more people would bend their knees and look for a different path, choosing to give up or compromise.
That is why it is considered ideal to "stand up".At least Hitogaki thinks so.
And Hitogaki doesn't know much about Heaven.I'm not involved enough to make such an impression.
That's why she can't believe he's a man who can stand up.
And if the "what if" time had happened, the only thing that remained was the fact that they had driven a boy away because of them.
Even though Sakurai and Julia asked me to do so, I am not in a position to say such a thing at a time when I have already cooperated with them.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"But"
"I'm still proud to have eyes on people.If you leave it to Sakurai-kun, Tennai-kun will be strong. "
In response to the fearful cypress, Julia lightly blew her concerns into the wind and spoke of her trust toward Sakurai and the ceiling.
Sakurai will surely change the status quo in the desired direction.
Tennai grows like it was reborn by Sakurai's hand.
Yulia's majestic remarks, placing the trust of the whole spirit on the opponent she had just met yesterday and today, puzzled Cypress withheld his objection.If that's what she says.
Did you still feel the unconvinced air? Yulia turned back to the cypress and told her with a refreshing wink.
"Besides, 'I will prepare the best opponent for tomorrow's roundup match', Sakurai promised.Would it be natural to believe a friend's words? "
"Princess, you should choose a friend."
Hmm?
Yulia smiled at the absolute zero tone that was different from the reaction she expected.
However, it is unusual for a person to say so much as slice into himself, and Yulia smiled at its freshness.
"Hi-ga-hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Iris, who had been separated from his scheme to continue the search for Sakurai, approached the back of the cypress with quiet anger, and Yulia slipped her mouth about the impetus of the ongoing operation. "Do you know the royalty of this world?It was another story that became the feather of Iris' great sermon. "
