Reincarnation Monarch

Episode One Hundred Twenty-four: The Blue Land

As Gaius and the others dived into the blue great hole about 300M in diameter, there was a vast, fringeless desolate earth stretching out even bluer and brighter.

"... Well, here's the problem"

Gaius descended into the blue earth or muttered quietly as he looked around.

Carla immediately blamed it.

"What's the problem?

Gaius looked at Karla and answered.

"No, actually, the last time I came here, the water conductor was waiting for me."

"Well, there's a water conductor."

"Yes, but we can't expect that this time"

"Why?

"The conductor... probably hasn't woken up yet."

Carla captured that Gaius's way of saying it was subtle and thought about it a little before asking.

"... that doesn't mean you're still asleep, does it?

Then Gaius nodded loudly.

"Exactly. I'm not sleeping. I think he's probably still on probation."

Then Carla shook her head vertically many times to give her a convincing look.

"I see. I mean, like Astarot, the conductor got hit by Satan, and he was in a state of provisional death."

"Yes, the conductor was Karin, Astalot's wife."

"Hmm... I know. He must have been Delkia's sister, too, huh?

"Correct. That Delkia should be in a state of provisional death, too. Well, I hope Mr. Shester's right."

"Then there's no doubt about it. What Shester says is far more credible than what you say."

Then Gaius' cheeks cramped lightly.

"... distant... distant, whatever..."

Then Carla said away without getting her hair in between.

"Shut up. Don't pay attention to the details. So, what do we do? Can you go to hell without a guide?

Gaius tilted his neck at Carla's inquiry.

"... no well, I was wondering if I could figure it out..."

Then Carla frowned and glared at Gaius.

"I mean, that's it. So it's just a hit. Not at all... there's no guarantee that we can cure Astaloto in the first place, and this whole journey is just a hit..."

"Well, yeah, maybe you can fix it."

"Maybe, right? That's why I'm saying it's just a hit."

"No, well, I admit it... you agreed with Carla. That's why you two got here, isn't it?

Then again Carla put her hand on her hips and exhaled a deep sigh.

"Sort of. Actually, there's a chance that you and I could cure it. It's just... that and this is gonna be a conversation after we get to hell, right?

When Carla said so, it was to gaze at Gaius again.
