Reincarnated as a Dragon’s Egg ~Lets Aim to Be the Strongest~

457. Between reincarnations (side: the other party)

... I noticed that I was walking forward through a dark place.

Apparently, this place is in the woods. Turning his neck to the side, by the way, a tree grows in his eyes in disgust.

What, what is this place?

I don't remember clearly. Plus, it's kind of frustrating.

I was almost unconscious because I was depressed, but apparently it's me who's moving my body.

What, the other guy, skipping or cancer?

When I turned my eyes to the other person... the other person's neck was blind, as if it had been hung from the middle of nowhere.

Hey, where have you been?

What? Is this a dream?

I don't remember exactly, but it wasn't supposed to be if you were asleep, what the hell happened?

What happened to me?

Sure... that motherfucker betrayed me and assaulted me, and the demon king's bastard chased me... and ran out of room to escape... somthing... somthing.

Oh, well, am I dead?

There were plenty of them moving forward in the dim woods, just like me.

It's demons, it's humans, it's different. Everybody, your body isn't colored, it's black and white.

You have no self, you look vain, and you even walk forward.

They had their bodies melting out every time they walked. It's just a bunch of guys who are about half drowsy.

The guy who couldn't move on, his body completely melted out, sank to the ground and disappeared.

"Gah, gah!

I rang my mind.

But he doesn't always react.

"Gaaaaaa!"

I still can't. There's no reaction.

I thought I was thin and that's apparently the place to be.

The post-mortem world, that would be the case.

I've tried to use my skills to try, but there's no response.

The use itself seems to have fallen out of my head beautifully.

But I'm not like the rest of them.

Keep your will and be able to stop.

Maybe we can even go back to the original world.

I looked back.

It's not dark, it's black. There was complete darkness on one side.

Where I walked in, I guess I can't go home.

Because I didn't originally expect it, they took it that way.

I was moving forward looking around in an unchanging landscape.

What happened to the other guy after that?

I only remember it being thin, but when I ate it, the Demon King guy should have almost died.

I thought it worked...

Fu, beneath a tree along the road, there was one Ningen kid, holding his head and crying woefully.

Maybe if I had any untrained, I'd stay without breaking shape.

I remember the other side and Nightmare, Aro and Trent looking thin and sighed.

I stopped moving forward and tried to get closer to the kid.

Did the kid freak out, stop crying and look up at me with a flashing eye?

"And Reaper...?

Hate, if there's a nasty guy, I'm about to blow him back to life.

Seems like I can't even turn into Ningen right now, so I slept down beside him for a while, pretended to eat him, put him on my head, and did it with the right person.

Within that time, I became familiar with the kid asking me if my guard had been lifted.

I shook my head appropriately and gave it back just the reaction.

There's nothing else to do, so I decided to put the kid on and move on.

I can't go back there. To go sideways, I couldn't see more than a certain. There was like a wall, and it seemed like it shouldn't be more than that.

The further we go, the fewer and fewer herds of the surrounding deceased.

There are more of them without prototypes, and they become just sloppy slime guys.

No, did that demon king come here, too?

I look around, but I don't see him in particular.

I don't think he'll disappear sooner, but there can't be as many dead people from all over the world sent here.

Maybe it's divided into a few places.

Or maybe it's something I can't help thinking about because it's just my dream at death.

"Who are you looking for? Friends?"

A kid calls from the back.

I shook my head.

Then the kid, for a while, was talking about himself.

What country were you born in and what house were you born in?

I wasn't that interested, and I don't really know what Ningen's world is about, and it was refreshing because I'm gonna talk about it under the assumption that I know this one.

But I nodded appropriately, shouted and hammered him.

The kid was talking satisfactorily, too, so that's enough.

Nothing, it's not like I didn't know from one to ten.

The kid's talking slowed down gradually and eventually broke off.

After a while I saw my back because I couldn't get my talk back, the kid was gone at some point.

Maybe he tidied up about himself, told me, and was satisfied with it.

I almost lost my senses, so I had no idea.

I turned back and increased my speed just a little bit.

Think of it, the trees were gone from the surroundings, and there was not a single drool left to walk.

It's just, hey, the black and white meadows are spreading on one side.

As I walked, there was a tree in the middle of the road.

With that on his back, one kid was sitting around.

I thought he was a ghost, but when he turned his expressionless eyes to me, he stood up with his face as it was.

Somehow, he was a creep.

[I'll catch your eye first. I am [La Place], the keeper of this world itself and of the laws of this world.

... What, Temehe, is that the voice of God?

What are you doing hiding in this place, sneaking up on us?

[What you call [the voice of God] is just another being that interrupts my voice and calls forcefully.

Yeah?

If it's Keeper Yup, can you do enough to bust the guy who's interrupting that urge?

[I have no authority other than to discern the instructions given in accordance with traditional values and to grant and exercise them.

[We're just a little accommodating here, but basically we can't start something against the world up there.

[They could not predict what means they would take when they gave me only purpose without free will.

[That's why I feared taking unnecessary action, reserving myself to the extent of permitting superior authority by basic values and calculations, self-defense.

The kid proclaims that he doesn't know, and he walks over to me.

If it's the other guy, have you figured something out yet?

[Therefore, I cannot return you to your original world either.

[All I can do is arithmetic and authorization of superior authority and about self-defense.

[However, we can only give you a few, trivial, and then effective skills.

When the kid reached out, a red light lit up my head, shriveled small and disappeared.

I stare at the kid.

What is this supposed to be?

You can't use your skills here, can you?

What can I do now?

What are you doing in the first place?

[I'm just trying to serve my purpose in the actions I've been given.

That being said, the kid named LaPlath sat at the roots of the tree again.

[It may not be anything. But just for a moment, why don't you wait here?

The kid raised his torso just a little bit and turned to the back of the tree, at the end of the road.

[Regardless, you are also free to pass by and go to the other side.
