He was unconscious.

"- Rat! What's wrong!?Are you okay, Rat!? Rat!? "

When I noticed it, I saw Hanu's face in front of me.She cries at close range with her hands between my cheeks. [M]

"... ah, let me...?"

The flow back and forth was beautiful and refreshing.I have no idea what has happened so far.

"Rat...! Are you out of your mind...!"

When he blinked his eyes, Hanu showed a clear expression of relief.Release the puncture from the voice and relax.

"Don't worry about me at all...."

Haaahh, he exhaled deeply, and Hanu collapsed cheerfully.Apparently there was a cross over my lap with both hands between my face. [M]Almost horseman mounted.

That's how Hanu put his head in my chest.

"Hanu...? What am I...?"

I murmured as I looked down at the little pinch. [M]

Thanks to the loss of Hanu's face from the front of my eyes, I can see the surroundings again.First, Ajay in the air looks down at me with one hand behind her mouth.The shape of the lips is hidden, but it turns out that both eyes are laughing because they are against the arc.

Rose is stroking her chest down just like Hanu.I heard a faint whisper of goodness.

Frim looked up at the ceiling, covering his face with both hands.

"Ahh... mmh..."

Such a voice leaked out of the gap between my hands that hid my face.It feels like you're saying "soft" all over your body.

"--Did I, perhaps, lose consciousness...?"

As if the breaker fell, your consciousness flew away.Indeed, when I tried to hear something important from Frim, my memory was broken.

"... oh, that's right, My Master.But don't worry, it hasn't been that long since you went crazy.That's right... a few tens of seconds since you lost your mind.I'm an AI, so I can say the exact number of seconds, but it doesn't taste like a boulder.I want you to accept this ambiguous expression and rest assured. "

"Why do you keep saying that..."

I thought maybe it was because my head was still a little flabby, and it came out straight to my mouth.

"But why am I suddenly...?"

Did your consciousness suddenly fly?It's not unusual to suddenly lose consciousness even though nothing happened.

"Mr. Rug, you're the one Mr. Flim..."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Rosé-san, can you hold on a second?"

The moment Mr. Rose tried to explain something to me, Frim raised one hand and took control.Remove the hand that covered your face and return to the ceiling of the safe house.

"Maybe, but if you keep talking, it'll be the same thing again."

"The same thing...?"

Rose leans her head.Flim nodded in line with Rose's amber eyes.

Then you look at me.

"I knew it, Hart. I don't think you understand this story yet.Unfortunately.... "

And unfortunately, Frim exhaled, but at the next moment, he became surprisingly gentle.

"- But if you say so much, you'll already know.There's only one thing I can't understand in your head right now... that makes you faint when you hear that, right? "

――――

I took a breath at Frim's words, who dared to avoid his specific name. [M]

She says, "Feel the story from the subtle rhetoric that traces the contours.

I can't understand my head, I can't hear it, I can't recognize it, I lose consciousness in bad times.

"--That could be...."

There's only one such thing.

"... about my parents...?"

The rim neither nodded nor shook his neck.Even with that kind of behavior, you thought it would affect me. [M]

That's why my cousin stared back at me with a silent, unspeakable expression.

That was the answer.

…………

I can't take over the second sentence. Too often, the inside of my head became completely white.

My eyes are naturally absorbed into the image AJA showed you earlier.

Even if I look at it again, I can only see things like black veins, Ayja says, there are people in there who will become "Kakumura", besides me - Hanu, Rosé, and Frim seem to see human beings properly.

But it doesn't look like it to me.

I mean... [that's what happened].

"--- [Father]...? Is this my [Father]...?"

I was shocked to tear myself apart while telling myself.

It feels like being hit directly in the head with a hammer.

As if struck by a lightning strike, it numbs to the bone marrow.

A tremendous intoxication suddenly approached, and everything in sight was twisted.

My body doesn't move slightly, but my eyes turn.

I don't understand the meaning.

――――

Impossible.

You're such an idiot.

After all, there is a picture of "Magnum."

Ayja called it the Destroyer.

That should be it.

That's... that's my father.

That can't be right.

There's no way...

"I see, I thought there was a strange lock in my Master's memory. This is interesting."

I can hear Ajah.Like any other HR person - no, he can't help it, it's just another HR person - he nods alone with a smile, yeah, yeah.

"Oh, the fact that there's a lock in my storage doesn't mean I've peeked into my master's memory.I just looked over your entire body and found a strange area.In other words, I think I just removed the exterior of the mechanical device and looked at the contents.I didn't load the contents softly just by discovering something funny on the hard side.So I don't know what kind of information is in there. "

Ajay's words seemed to come in from her right ear and fall out to her left ear.I can only think of it as nonsense without contents.

Now I can't think of anything because I was crushed to the core of my body by this heavy pressure of unknown identity.

I wonder what Hanu looks like now.I can't see. She told me about me. [M]I'm sure you're worried.

I wonder how Mr. Rose looks.I don't know. Speaking of which, I haven't told Rose about me in the cluster yet. I'm sorry.

Frim is probably staring at me with the same look as before.I've known my parents best since I was a kid.I have been worried for a long time.The 'I want time to think' earlier was more for me. [M]

"- But, Milliberty Rim, when I see Mymaster Rugdis talking about his parents, [he goes crazy], what the hell is going on?If you don't mind, I'd love to hear from you. "

"... ahhhhhhh!!You haven't been depressed since!?Read the air, air!! "

The frim was genuinely clean to Ajay, who had no Delicate Shards.Mucky, he stood up with his pride twin tail and ate it to Ajah, who was floating in the air.

"Hmm... that said, it's my role to manage my master's condition.I want to take care of the physical aspects as well as the mental aspects as much as possible.But it's still against manners to read memories, isn't it? "

But, of course, Ajay doesn't put it on her teeth.On the contrary, if you don't tell me, I'll have to read my memories on my own, but I'll have to deal with it with a slight threat.

Chi, and Frim clapped his tongue at the momentum that was about to reach the second floor of the safe house.As it stands, the silence that makes the air pour down for a while.

Eventually, hah, a deeply rooted frim's breath came out.

"... as you can see. I don't even know why.However, Hart can't hear [the story], can't read, can't see what's in the picture, or fainted like before.Ever since I was a kid, I've been in Atashi and Hart's grandparents' house. "

Maybe that's why I'm still halfway through thinking. [M]

But that's not the only condition reflex that's overwhelming my mind.

Parents that are hardly remembered.By analogy from the surroundings of my grandfather, grandmother, and Frim's parents, I thought I might meet somewhere as an explorer - so I left home and dived into the ruins (relics).

If you're working as an Explorer, you might find out something someday.Or if you become famous, you might find me from the other side and come to see me--but that kind of hopeful hope became a solid form within me.

I hadn't realized it before, but I was vaguely convinced somewhere in my heart that one day my wish to "reunite with my parents" would come true.

If you work hard, you will definitely be rewarded someday.

But that hope collapsed relentlessly with a sound.

My expectation that my parents might be Explorers was far off track. [M]So it was supposed to be outside.

My parents weren't Explorer.On the contrary, he wasn't much of a decent person.

Destroyer Cuckoo.

The man we used to call "The Black Man."

Rose's belly brother, Siglos Schweinberg - the culprit of the Volkling Circus massacre began with his possession of the artifact Fusion (Union).

It was the "Black Man" who gave me the artifact that triggered the tragedy.

That's not all. Romnick Bugley, who provoked me into the duel, also received the artifact from the Black Man and erased his memory.

In other words, if my father is really the one - he has been trying to use others indirectly to fall asleep while recognizing my existence.

I do not know that thought.

I have no idea why I would do such a thing.

But it was an indisputable fact that Kakumura [attacked] me.

"--Did I... meet your father in the game...?"

I don't know, I was asking.The opponent, of course, is Ayja.

"Oh, of course. You don't remember, My Master.Can you see this? "

Age displays a new AR screen.When I turned my gaze to be sucked in, I saw myself floating in the air.She puts her hands around her neck and moves her feet in agony.

It's a totally meaningless video.

"... what is this?"

I don't remember anything like this.As far as the footage is concerned, I can't understand how I'm floating in space and why I seem to suffer.

"Jumura is replenishing you with Black Power.What does it look like to you? "

"... I'm floating in space all by myself..."

I no longer had the nerve to delude myself, and I said what I saw. [M]

"Oops, that's pretty rough again.You're hallucinating without any intrinsic evidence of integrity?It's a pretty rough "cognitive distortion."There must have been some traumatic events in the past. "

Past? Speaking of which, I don't know why I can't recognize my parents.I've never thought about it very deeply, but it's certainly just my anomaly. [M]Ajay was right, something incredible happened to me.I don't remember.

"I don't know if cognitive distortion comes first or memory locks first - but in any case, if you restore my master's memory to its normal state, perhaps the excessive cognitive distortion will disappear.The five senses are dull and unconscious when certain information is in front of them because the brain rejects it.The defenses must be moving so that the memory lock doesn't come off.I'd like to disarm it if possible... "

Hmm, Ayja shows a pretense of contemplation.If he were AI, he would have drawn conclusions instantly.

"--Unfortunately, I can't do it right now.We need more preparation, tools, and energy.We need to meet the conditions and return to Lunatic Babel.I'm sorry, My Master, but will you be patient until then? "

…………

Appreciation for this offer did not come as much as surprise.

I would have been happy if I had listened to a story I didn't understand, such as Chikumura = my father.

But now, even if I open the door of heavily closed memory, I don't really think that what lies ahead is hope.

"Still - it's funny. Chikuma is not a human being in a broad sense.And yet Milliberty Flim says he's the father of my master.And the fact that I can't see him means that Mymaster also paradoxically recognizes Jumura as his father.It was a strange story, wasn't it? "

Fufufu, as you're laughing joyfully, you don't really think this sounds strange or strange.Somehow, I can see that.

"Nevertheless, this is one answer.I don't know the details, but if Kakumura is the father of Maestro Lagudis, it is true that she nodded in the "Black Power".Rather, I've always lived safely.It's a miracle you're still an Explorer, visiting Lunatic Babel, and becoming my master.The Goddess of Destiny has a really good hobby. "

…………

I don't know, Ajay's words caught on fire.Speaking of which, I think I've said similar things before.Sure, when we first met...

"--Please wait"

When I tried to retrace my memory in a state of indifference, Ms. Rose gave a hard voice.

"What's the matter, Rollinse?"

When Ayja broke her back, Rose ran a sharp gaze around her.

"... there's something strange about it.Please be careful. "

That's how I warned you.

Shortly afterwards, I felt a slight shake.

"... hey, what is it, an earthquake?"

Flim lightly floats his hips off the sofa and mutters.

"What is it?"

Hanu, who is mounting on my lap, looks up and looks around the safe house. [M]

Looks like the whole building is shaking.Frim is right, there is a possibility of an earthquake.

However, following the shake, strange sounds echoed from nowhere.

Dododododododo... and the sound of the ground moving back and forth.

Apparently, you can hear it from outside the safe house.

"--no way...!?"

Suddenly, my nerves were scratched and I recovered from my state of ego in an instant. [M]Get up like a frim and stand up from the sofa with Hanu's body aside.

I have a bad feeling about this.And I often do it right. [M]

"--Something's coming! Everybody out!"

Almost intuitively I shouted. [M]The survival instinct refused to stay in the safe house.

Before the life-threatening, information about what happened to the parents was temporarily evaporated from their heads.I lifted up Hanu's body and one of Rose's chains, which extended instantly, was entangled in the sleeping moon, smashed the other three windows, which were just around the corner.

The shattering sound of the tempered glass echoes.

We avoided the foolishness of going to the front door and headed straight for the window that Rose broke.

Covering Hanu in a combat jacket, I activated "Serie Walk" as I pierced through the debris that was still dancing in the air.Get out of the window and land in the air.

Soon, the heavy bass you heard earlier became clearer and reached your ears.

With your ears clear about where it sounds from, you can look around.

"--Nah...!?"

An incredible sight popped into my eyes.

SB (Security Bot) swarm - countless monsters rush in line along the path we took to this safe house.There are too many of them, and some of them can be seen spilling off the mountain path and falling off the cliff.

"Hey - what is it!?"

Flim shouted loudly to the swarm of SBs that were moving back and forth, raising chocolate soot and smoke.It is a driftstone that holds Durga Sati in both hands while transitioning Horsgazer on the back and Skylaider on both feet to combat mode.Until now, she had a larger percentage of armour-makers (craftsmen) than the Grant Techniques (Enchanters), and since she entered our cluster, she has become completely accustomed to fighting.

"Not only normal SB, but also Yeti and Mountain Road."

After calmly analyzing the composition of the enemy, Rose grasped the Moon's body with both hands.Moon was completely awake because he was suddenly moved.He opens his pale eyes and looks at his own situation, which has become a geese character in chains.

As I said before, in Lunatic Babel, Yeti is a room guardian and Mountain Road is a gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper is a robot type with all parts of the machine.The room guardian is characterized by a cyborg half of the machine.And it's the same with Mountain Road and Yeti, so you can tell the type just by looking.

"...? That's crazy, Rat. Isn't this place safe?It's obviously coming this way.

Hanu, who is being held by the princess, leans his neck as he gazes at the chocolate-colored fury that comes against him. [M]

"That's how it should be!? This is a safe zone, so there's a safe house and SB can't get near it...!?"

I have no choice but to overlook the common sense of Explorer.

"Besides, how could such a train...!?"

The current chocolate mountain is an anomaly in which mountain roads and yeti walk around, but the normal SB should not pop up unless the Explorer is close.In fact, it was embodied as usual until we got to the safe house.

"But maybe those big bugs are the triggers?They're walking around, pulling out the SB, bringing it in.... "

Frim floats the end of the word and swallows raw saliva.

Among the SBs that make up the long line of snakes, the mechanical and large mountain road figure is very prominent.Frim was right, some of them were at the head of the flock - the train.

"This is tough. What are you going to do, Mymaster?Run or fight. Well, even if I ran away, I wouldn't be chasing you. "

Ajah's stereoscopic footage, which is stuck to my movement, asks me to make fun of it.

"That's not true...!"

I was surprised to say that it was decided to run away.

Behind us is a bright yellow safe house.

This is not just a safe zone.It's a relaxing spot that has been built by the advanced explorer over a long period of time, sweating away.The absence of this will greatly hinder future exploration at Chocolate Mountain.

"Hmm... there's definitely no escape.Rat, is there another place like this? "

Hanu changed in a hurry to confront me with an unprecedented emergency, and Hanu was calm.Ask me realistic questions.

"Ah, yes, but maybe it's far from here...?"

"Well, Ayja, if we get out of here, do you think they'll follow us to the next safe zone?"

Now Hanu asks Ajah a question.The location is different, but Ayja is in charge of the ruins (relics).

"Maybe they'll come after us.Regardless of the normal SB, the crazy Mountain Road and Yeti seem to be targeting humans.Otherwise, I wouldn't have come this far. "

Ayja is not a liar.I do not affirm 'probably' or 'probably', but his opinion, which is the dominant AI of the ruins, is credible.

"Hey, seriously... if you look at that crowd, you'll be surprised to remember when Ashley and I stepped on each other."

Frim said to the sigh, probably when he took on a swarm of dragon-type SBs in the "Hierarchy Without Opening."

Even then, I had to defeat the Floormaster in small numbers, but I also had to fight the flock of flying dragons and dragon runners that were summoned indefinitely.

Given the difficulties of the time, this kind of train may still be better.Maybe, I'm sure, Mavy.

"Rest assured, unlike at that time, Princess Xiaolong and I are here.I was wondering if I could make up for Ashley's absence. "

The moon she was holding was lowered down and Rose gently stroked her fluffy silver hair with her casual hands.

Nieves, a newcomer to the Knights of Pale Red Flame Noble Prominence Knights, also participated in the battle at that time, but nobody talked about it.Do you forget or do you think you don't need to remember?

"- They're saying that, but what happens to the continuation of 'that's it...', My Master?"

Aja smiled and urged me. [M]

"Rato"

"Mr. Rug."

"Hart"

In addition, Hanu, Rose, and Frim asked me to make a decision.

I had no choice but to make up my mind.

"... yeah, let's fight. If it's no use running away, we'll have to take them all down here.Above all... I can't let you destroy the ruins. "

Exploring ruins is a human proposition.We could not have let this place, one of the bridgeheads, slip away.

"Ggggggggrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaa!!" "wwwwwwwwwoooooooooowwwwwwwww!!" "uuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyy!!" "VVVVVVVVVRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAA!"

Following the earthquake, the roar of the electronic sound of the SB finally approached.

Even if the enemy's strength is hard to estimate, there are five or more Mountain Roads, ten or more Yeti, and more than a hundred regular SBs.

It's not the size of a four-man battle, common-sense.

"With all due respect, I'm sure you'll be all right.After all, you completed my game.They must have leveled up a lot.You gave me full power here. "

Ajah, who doesn't participate in the fight, looks like he's lying with a big face.

Naturally, everyone, including me, ignored his words.Everyone hated wasting extra energy on the hunch of an uphill battle.

"― ― I'll take the Mountain Road class!Mr. Rose is a yeti!Flim needs to clean up the fish and escort Hanu and Moon!Hanu chants the ceremony as usual! "

Roger that.

Okay!

"Leave it to me!"

When I immediately flew the instructions, the three responded.

I'll have Hanu activate the Sily Walk and drop her off in the air.Black Xuan and White Tiger were removed from the storage and sworn out in the form of light blades (photon blades), respectively.

Sigh, and I took a breath,

"Well then - let the battle begin!"

The lid of the battle was cut.
