Hannu was lying in the middle of Mr. Third Class's bed when I found him.

Regardless, Hannu's small body looked smaller in relative terms because it was a bed for giants, as if it were a bug or something.

I slowed down one by one as I unlocked the support technique I had on me and rushed to Hannu, where I was sleeping on a big bed. I wanted to get close at all quickly, but still moved cautiously because "if I got close enough in Absolute Square, I could have blown Hannu's tiny body in the aftermath of manoeuvre.

"- Hannuh!"

As her face approached until she could see the nostrils, a voice burst out of her throat at her own accord. Positive and negative cloudy emotions, such as joy and impatience, erupted at once, feeling as if he were vomiting blood reflexes.

Approaching at once where the velocity is back in parallel, kneeling on the bed and holding up a small body.

"So, it's okay!? Are you hurt?

I know I'm asleep, but I couldn't help but speak up. Then he realizes from his own words the possibility that Hanu is injured and rushes to quantify her hands and feet.

Apparently, he's not hurt. Here, breathe. Then,

- I'm an idiot! I should have kicked the vital request command via "SEAL" because it's so close and the switch connection is restored! Have you forgotten that you've done something similar and disgraced yourself before......!

And, penetrate yourself inside. I can't do anything about it. Every time Hannu's health and physical condition are involved, I can't stay calm.

Calm down, send the command from "SEAL" and check Hanu's vital via the switch. All green. Right now, they're sleeping on medication or surgery, and even though they're holding each other like this and shouting, there's no sign of ever waking up.

Nevertheless, it makes no difference that you are safe.

If I knew so, it seemed like a miracle that Hannu's little body was in his arms this moment when his body temperature was being felt.

"-Good...!

Once away plush. The warmth that was so close, but alarmed but therefore taken away.

That's how it fits in my nostrils again now - would there be anything else that would make me so happy?

"Really, good...!

When I squirmed with a feeling of universality, tears came from both eyes unceasingly. My throat snaps, and I whimper like a snuggle repeatedly.

I hug the sleeping Hannu, and I squeeze out my thoughts.

"Really, good. Yikes...!

It may seem exaggerated to say this, but I thought I'd never see you again. The imagination that if I can't see my face again, if I can't touch it - and that's a good chance - has been raging in me for a long time.

So I was so scared to death that it would. What if Hanu is not safe, what if Hanu is dead, what if Hanu is taken so far away that he will never see him again -.

"Hanu... Hanu... Great...!

Don't break your tiny body, but hug it as hard as you can. Feel Hannu's temperature. I smell Hannu. I can't believe I feel so happy with that alone that my chest is about to rip open.

How much time would I have been crying with Hanu still asleep? Eventually, the girl in her arm wandered off.

"... ho...?

Voices like exhalation. Little things that I didn't seem to know, I overheard them and opened the body that I was snuggling with.

"... Hanu...?

Poopy, half-opened golden and silver demon eyes and eye contact. No, Hannu's still out of focus, his eyes open, but he doesn't seem to see anything.

Hanu, still in places like semi-awakening, looked around slowly with his sleeping eyes,

"... to...?

Spilling a somewhat unintelligible ringing, he eventually fixed the tip of his gaze to my face. At first, the pale and golden eyes, which I saw without even seeing, began to focus gradually -

"... ho? Ni and...?

It's kind of dumb, but he called my name in a pretty voice.

"Hanu......!

I lost my temper and embraced my dear friend again.

"Sorry, sorry......! Sorry I'm late to come and help......! But it's okay now...! Because there's nothing to worry about anymore......!

"... of...?

Still sleepy, Hannu calls me in a tongueless tone and tilts his neck.

but after a few seconds, he became conscious,

…… Lat......? Oh, whoa? Hey, what...? About what?

I blinked my eyes and Hannu panicked. Maybe I haven't sorted out my memories yet. It may be Hannu's feeling that when he woke up as usual, he was held by me. [M]

but you remembered that you were on the verge of losing your mind immediately, fitting, and stopped moving,

"- Well, I did... the concubine..."

My voice disappears with butt blushes. I guess Hannu thinks he played a lethargy. Hannu, who had lost her strength from her tight little body and was hugged by me, exhaled with regret.

"... sorry, Rat... apparently I was worried sick about you because of your concubine..."

I shook my neck sideways with my jaw on her shoulder to let my thoughts seep into my voice.

"Yeah, yeah! It's not Hannu's fault! Because I couldn't protect you...! Because I wasn't strong enough...! Sorry, sorry......!

Yes, I owe you an apology. Even though he was nearest, he was snatched Hanu by Nabi and Yazaemon and held hostage. Even then, I couldn't help him right away and he took me away to this place.

Luckily I'm unhappy, Hanu seems to have been asleep the whole time, but if not, how scared and lonely I would have been if I had been conscious. It's like the middle of my chest is squeezed, gibberish, just imagining.

"Lato......"

"I'm sorry, Hanu...! I will protect you properly next time...! I'll protect you properly...! Sorry, sorry......!

The more I apologize, the more pitiful my own impudence will be and tears will flood me from next to next. The whimpering was also becoming more intense, and the tongue lu rhythm gradually became suspicious.

You must have noticed the strangeness of the situation where you're crying more like a child when you come to help. Hannu laughed a little after a while, kufu.

"... at all, the same crybaby, the rat is"

"Because...!

"Don't you know which is comforting in this? Calm down a little. There you go."

"Yeah...... yeah......"

Hannu's little hand strokes her to slap me on the head with a pound, so she lets go of her body just a little while she shrugs her watery nose.

Then I looked straight in front of Hanu with a smile on his mouth. Now hold on tight.

"... thank you, Lato. I don't know, but the fact that you're here has cleared up all the trouble, hasn't it? I've been through a lot."

To Hanu, who works gently, I shake my neck sideways wiping my tears with the sleeves of my jacket.

"That's not true... about this..."

"Mm-hmm. Let me hear more about it later, but you did your best. The boulder is not my concubine's best friend. I can count on you."

Kufu, Hannu laughed and pinched my cheek with both hands. He strokes me as gentle, as a rinse, and praises me.

"Hanu......"

Good, I'm glad I've worked so hard so far - at the time I almost thought.

"- But?

"To?"

Hannu's right hand is off his cheek and suddenly he picks my nose all the time for some reason.

"Fugguuuuuuuuuu -!?"

Suddenly he protests and screams, but Hannu won't let go of his hand laughing at Nico.

"What, this is a good opportunity. Let me always tell you how worried my concubine is about your misfortune."

"Huh, huh?

My head doesn't follow the sudden burst, and I sound like a weird creature.

"Remember that? The concubine is worried and crying like she is now, while Lato is always sleeping in the dark, right? When you wake up, let's always look at the crying eyes of your concubine with those eyes? Hmm? See? How did the concubine feel then?

"Phew, phew, phew...!

Kufufufu, laughing and Hannu picking. Pull my nose to the left and play nice. I cannot resist. [M]

"I'm so grateful you're so worried about your concubine that you cry. You're not lying, are you? The concubine is now thanking you from the bottom of her heart. Then what?

"Ugh, uhh..."

Kuku, and Hannu pulls my nose up. When I do, I have to look up like a fish caught. [M]

"Would you have known? How heartbreaking is the concubine while the mistress falls and sleeps? How does it feel to wait for Lato to wake up? It's not just the concubine, is it? So is Rose and Flim. At this point, think carefully about what" heartache "always makes your concubines."

Hanu's face seems to be laughing, but his eyes aren't laughing much. In the shadow of a satanic smile, I find a flame of genuine anger, and I say an apology as it is.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, no, no...!

If you ask me, you're absolutely right, and there's no objection to this, so I had to apologize in tears.

Hannu's claim is ultimate. This was the first time I tried to be in the opposite position and it seemed to stain my bones.

As Hannu persistently repeated, "Always Always Always Always Always," it is I who go into dangerous things every time, and therefore it is Hannu, Mr. Rose and the Flims who are in a position to worry about dying like I am this time.

That should piss you off, I just have to convince you. While I fell and lost my mind at the price of my impotence, Hannu and I were always under stress as if they were going to crush our hearts like this.

Again, you were doing something so sorry, I reflect.

"... Hmm. Apparently, I had a little idea."

Hannu accidentally let go of her hand when she was satisfied with pulling my nose around.

"Ugh..."

He wasn't pulled too hard, but he does his hand on his nose and holds it down.

"- And what kind of impotence did you have today?

"... Huh?

"I would have used it? That's it.

It was immediately apparent that it would be "Absolute Square".

"... yeah..."

I dropped my gaze and nodded as I had broken my promise not to use much.

"... sorry..."

I can arrange as many excuses as I want. How mighty Isanami was his opponent, or how worried he was about Hannu so much that he gave him full speed until he got here.

But I know that none of it is what she wants. So I made no bad excuses and honestly apologized.

"... he doesn't have a choice. Damn, this is why Lato..."

Phew, he exhaled small, and for some reason, Hannu suddenly started touching my body with stickiness.

"Oh, that? Hey, Hannu?

"Look, does it hurt anywhere? Isn't that painful?

Hannu asks questions like a doctor, clutching my chest, stomach, armpit, etc. I don't mind the confusion over here.

"Uh...?

"Answer the question, Rato. Because even if you look okay, you can suddenly bleed and fall. If there's anything unusual at all, tell me right away."

"Ah..."

Speaking of which, I recall bleeding out of my eyes and nose after the battle with Midgals Olm to pollute Hanu's kimono. From Hannu, his best friend drowned blood from a terrible place in front of him and fell down. It's usually traumatic. If I were in the opposite position, my spine would be relieved. I might have been freaking out on the spot.

There is no way you can be allowed to properly mislead Hanu, who is so worried about you.

"Uh... yeah, I'm not hurt or anything. Thanks to Mr. No.1, it was easy to win, and for that matter, I just needed to use Absolute Square for a shorter time. Oh, but I'll tell you more about it later, because I did something pretty unscrupulous outside of the support ceremony, so I guess my body is tired... the wound was healed with heels and recovery, because it was a big burn all over my body..."

At the end of the day, when I accidentally said to the boulder, Hanu's movements stopped like they were frozen.

"- dunno... oh yaya, bye...!?

Parrot back, then lift your head and stare at me with a pale face, Hannu. Ethereal and gold heterochromia is trembling, as if seen even by unknown organisms.

I was in such a hurry.

"Oh, hey do it!? So, uh, the!? So, I don't know what to say, it was the only way to win without a support technique ceremony, or I had" Achilleus "that Flim remade, and it was pretty dangerous, but it was perfectly fine!? Rather, it was about as damaging as the other guy was, and a little harsh, but thanks to you, I could win!? Oh, no big deal, really!? I mean, the injury was bigger the previous time, or the damage was tougher. Speaking of which, I haven't fainted this time. Me!? On the contrary, isn't it amazing!? Right!?"

…………

I was the one who would dig all over the grave instead of mouthing something too distracting to panic about. Hannu's jito eyes pierce his chest deeply.

Hannu's head slammed slightly on my chest as I waved my hands with butterflies and excused myself for body language mixing.

Eventually, hah, and a deep, heavy sigh.

"... that's enough. We'll talk about it after we rendezvous with Rose and Flim. If you are naughty, you will preach naughty things more on the face than on the concubine. Be prepared."

"………………………… Yes…"

I felt as though I had been weighed down on my head in a de facto death sentence.

Especially to Flim, I can easily imagine being pissed off by the extraordinary momentum. The same goes for the handling of weapons and protective equipment, but she hates and is furious at the way I treat myself more than that.

"- Well, if you're not hurt and you're not feeling too bad, it's a superimposition. I wonder if the concubine's complaint made any sense.... you'll never forgive me for falling all of a sudden, will you, Lat?

Hannu whispers in a small voice, keeping her forehead in the middle of my chest.

"Ugh, yeah......"

The flatness of that tone also sounds like it builds up something in reverse, which makes me feel vaguely anxious.

but she put her hand on my chest and squeezed the collar of my jacket.

"... I know it's impeccable to say, but don't be too impotent, Rato. I'm worried about the concubine. If you overlap, one day, suddenly, you might lose your life. If so, the concubine..."

"Hanu......"

I don't know what look she has on her face because she's lying on my chest. But I was only certain that the voice was slightly trembling.

"... please... don't leave the concubine alone... the world without you is no longer going to stand for the concubine..."

It was a mosquito squeaking little voice, but it did sound that way.

…………

After all, you might as well have kept your mouth shut about the whole body burn thing. I can't believe you scared Hanu so far in just one word. But if I lied or misled, I could have hurt you more than that. I guess I was right to be honest with you...

- No, well, you shouldn't act like I'm worried...

"... yeah, sorry..."

I embraced Hannu's body again, trembling in the cold. And it wouldn't make much sense, but I added these words.

"... me too, yes..."

I knew when Hanu was caught by Yazaemon.

Neither can I. I can't think of a world without Hannu anymore. This is probably a better level to call dependency, not love or friendship - but losing Hanu is no longer synonymous with losing the majority of your soul.

This is a tentative story, and to be honest, it's a possibility I don't even want to think about - if Hannu dies, I might not be able to keep my sanity. About that, Hannu's existence has taken root deep inside a human being named me.

Maybe that's what I am to Hannu.

- We need to be stronger...

Consolidate your resolve again in a corner of your head.

I must be stronger so that Hannu will never worry again, and that she will not be taken into the hands of the enemy like this one.

Much, much stronger, much bigger than now.

There is no next time.

Whatever happens, the girl in this arm lets me try to protect her.

Yes, I swore in my heart, and I held Hannu in my arms until his tremors subsided.

When Hannu calmed down, we went back to "Between the Queens".

It's okay to shut down (shut down) the floor master, which is the key to this space, until we get the components, but there's no indication that we'll ever be able to return to the original security room.

So it came to the conclusion that maybe Isanami's must be used to vacate some door - just as the key to the room where Eija was a component of MidgalsOlm.

In order to find that door, gathering information is essential. Regardless of Mr. No.1, Mr. No.2 and Mr. No.3 might know something.

So as usual, I held Hanu as a princess and walked in the air on a skywalker while returning to the way I came. Of course, I will not forget to explain to Hannu how things have been going so far on the road.

But there was really a lot going on, and I get smudged.

That after Hanu was taken away by Yazaemon, he headed with Mr. One to "Between the Queens". So I reunited with Howell and Yazaemon, and confronted Mr. No. 2 and Mr. No. 3, who joined hands with them. That there was a large firepillar in the middle of a wide underground space from which Queen Isanami emerged - etc.

Let's just say it was just a roll-out of rage.

By the time I had finished explaining to Hannu the time of battle I had spent so densely as to be horrified, my feet had once again stepped into 'Between Queens'.

"- Whoa!? Master Beowulf! And Princess Xiaolong! Whoa, over here, over here! Over here!

As soon as Hannu left the entrance and exit from the residence of Mr. Third Class, where he was resting, Mr. No.1 found us visibly and flew out of sight. Should I say that the boulder is the owner of the demonic eye?

Mr. One was still sitting down on the wreckage of his "Gigantic" state. The last time I saw him, he seemed to have severe burns all over his body, but now he almost seems to be fully healed. I don't know whether I used the recovery technique or whether it was due to my abilities as a ghost person again, but it is safe and above all.

'Er... excuse me, Mr. One. I just suddenly walked away...'

He walks in the air holding Hanu as a princess and slowly approaches him. When I first came to this space, it was already filled with terrible hot air, but now the heat is completely drawn. Rather, it's just underground and a little chilly.

However, because Magma's light was the only source of light, the entire underground space was now covered in darkness. Among other things, I was able to locate Mr. One because of whose hands there was a large sphere of light over their heads. It could be my "lampball" kind of technique.

"Ha-ha-ha! I don't give a shit! Ooh, number two, third class! You're welcome! Welcome home, [Valiant]!

'... eh...?

I lean my neck at the words spinning as I looked up at the "giant state" of Mr. No. 1 and Mr. No. 2 and Mr. No. 3 standing around him.

- Yu, brave man...?

That's weird, I thought so. Although I did use the pseudonym 'Beowulf', Mr. One should not know that it was taken from the legendary hero 'Beowulf the Brave'. In other words, he must have never seen or heard the name "Beowulf the Brave" in the first place.

And yet, why do you call me a brave man?

…… Hey, brother? What does that "god angel" mean by "brave man"?

You must have had the same doubts as me. Mr. No. 2, the blue giant, leaned his neck with a twisting hips and asked Mr. No. 1. Speaking of which, the two corners that were stretched from left to right like buffalo are disappearing from that second Mr. 's head. If, and turning his gaze, he thought, the same was true of the corner of Mr. Third Class, the green giant.

- So, there's an increasing number of horns on Mr. One's head... maybe...?

It is the colour that stains the pearl colour, but if the shape alone, the three horns that have been added to the head of Mr. No. 1 are two corners, one thick and long, with two inner ones like buffalo.

Even if not, it's obvious that the horns of the two brothers moved to the head of the eldest brother, Mr. One - transplanted? - Yes.

Or has that been the case all along since just now? I only saw what was right in front of me the whole time during the fight, and I picked Hanu up earlier before paying attention, though I didn't notice at all.

To Mr. No. 2, who had become a hornless giant, Mr. No. 1, who was now the same size as us after losing his "giant state," laughed and responded.

Ouch! You know what I'm talking about! See, what... that, I don't know... "I use it from a red-haired god for brave men who defeat the Queen of Nenocuni. The use has empowered the brave.

"Oh, alle?

Apparently, Mr. No.2 puts up his index finger with one hand and points his gaze at the ceiling. Mr. Third Class, standing next to him,

"Ah, it's me...... I mean, you don't fit that tough tone at all hahaha!

I laughed out at will where it had nothing to do with my main body.

"... what the hell are they...?

Hannu groans at the dedicated line of the switch (hotline) to the second and third class, who show off the intensity of the characters, which are not inferior to those of the first, even if they are only brothers. By the time I got here, I had explained how they were, but after all, the impact was amazing when I saw them straight away.

'... right? That's why I told you, right? Weird people...'

There were no longer too many penetrations and all I could say was' weird people '. No, maybe it's not' people 'in a way.

"Ugh! I'm not putting in weird tea, Third Class! - So, yeah! I noticed!

For some reason Mr. I, as a wolf, proclaimed:

The word "brave" is not about you, actually! Yes... the legendary "brave man" meant Mr. Beowulf over there!

Bishi, pointing to me walking through the air - and Hannu being held - Mr. I assured him.

As his fingers move, the faces of Mr. No. 2 and Mr. No. 3 head this way. Then he looked up at my face like Hannu, who was also held by the princess.

'... Huh?

I leak weird voices into speeches that are not too clappy and into gazes that concentrate.

No, I have no idea what that means. It is completely incomprehensible.

However, Mr. One continued his words without my reaction. [M]

'Cause you do!? Wasn't it Master Beowulf who killed the "queen" or the "fake god" bastard earlier! I mean, don't let the brave defeat the queen! The one who defeated the queen is the brave one! If you think so, Master Beowulf is the "brave man", and if you say so, I'm the "angel of God" better, right? Hey, you know what?!? Hey!'

I don't know, but it seems to be very exciting. Mr. No.1 still says, "I noticed (Eureka)!" But he screams out momentum and makes arguments, and asks Mr. No.2 and Mr. No.3 to agree.

But I see. If that's the case, I know what you're trying to say. If we assume that the rhetoric and things that are passed down between them were real, the theory of result is certainly that Mr. One is right.

I was the one who eventually shut Isanami down. In other words, I was the one who inherited "The Brave Man to Defeat the Queen of Nenocuni". And if I were a brave man, Mr. One would be "something else," so to speak of "something else" within the inheritance, that is, "used from a red-haired god."

It's a reversal of perspective, so to speak.

"Below Mr. One, who is a brave man," I and Hannu, the angels of God, did not appear.

I, the brave man, met Mr. One, the angel of God.

That's what he thinks.

"... Isn't that what it's called, consequence theory," he said?

"Hahahahaha! Shiatsu, Shiatsu, Shiatsu!

Zakuro, the claim of Mr. No. 1, which is slashed by Mr. No. 2 and Mr. No. 3.

Unfortunately, I agreed.

"Ugh! Oh, my God, if people get out so badly, you're in such a bad mood! Where the hell did that special victory go?

"Oh, no. Wow, it was your brother who told you to treat him the way he was, wasn't it?

'Yes, they do!

'Ugh... no, I did...!

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but to see how this goes, apparently the three of them got along. At first glance, they seem to be fighting, but they actually just fit together, somehow, I know. Somehow, it's like watching Cartel Third interact with The Knights of Pale Red Flames, Noble Prominence Nights.

If you dare to compare in reverse vectors, let's just say you don't feel as rude as when Flim and Mr. Ashley are seriously arguing. In other words, every time those two quarrel, for some reason I often take damage, I really want you to give me a break.

"... you made up, didn't you? Good."

The distance shrinks and he speaks so as he descends an invisible staircase to align his gaze. With a flesh voice because the voice is already within reach. Then, Mr. One turned to this side of his face, which seemed very unpleasant.

"... come on, don't joke about it, Master Beowulf..."

The look from the bottom of my heart made me laugh a little bit. [M]

"- Is that...?

I accidentally leak my voice at the discomfort I notice. [M] Something tells me that the relative distance has narrowed so that I can see Mr. One's face better.

"... hmm? What's the matter, Master Beowulf? Is there something on your face?

He notices my gaze and changes to the strange look on Mr. One's face.

"Uh... Oh, that?... Um, Mr. One...? Could it be... wah, you're not young...?

"Understood...? Oh, me?

Kyoton, and Mr. One pointing to his face. That too, unlike when I saw it before, almost wrinkle-free that face.

Yes, it is. I don't care how you look at it, all you can say is that you're [young].

There is a shadow. Conversely, there is nothing but shadows. Assuming he introduces himself as Mr. One's son, he looks so young that he's likely to believe it without a doubt. With this face, a little above me - if I may say so, it's not too much to say that I'm the same age as Mr. Villey or Mr. Karel.

"Hmm? Maybe it's because of more of your horns? - I don't care! Don't worry about Master Beowulf, either!

Mr. No.1 laughs when he switches to blatant. No, I don't think it's such an easy issue to go through... what the hell is this lightness? Cultural differences? Racial differences? Could it be something normal in Mr. One's clan?

- Oh, my God, what the fuck! There's a brave man here! Oh, my God, you don't have such a big picture, so why don't you welcome me as it should be!

"Huh...? Oh, Mr. One, nothing like that..."

I was in a hurry to try to stop Mr. One from exaggerating me, but sooner than that,

"Phew...... well, yeah? Let's not say you didn't come to me, assuming you're an" angel of God, "and you shouldn't be rude. Right, Third Class?

"Right, right, right, that? Speaking of which, where's my black cross going to help you?

Mr No.2 nodded, and Mr Third Class agreed with that. But "Black Cross Help Me", whose existence was remembered as it was then, is that about Yazaemon even if he doesn't? Speaking of which, I haven't seen him since Howell and I jumped out on the ground. Where the hell did it disappear?

- No way......!?

Or maybe he just happens to be hiding in the shadows and watching the gap between taking Hannu hostage - to the point of that possibility, my level of alert soared at once.

"-? What's up, Lato? Suddenly your face is getting worse, huh?

"Huh? Oh, no..."

I get lost in words when Hannu tips my neck in my arms.

If you think objectively, you either escaped without a win or you followed Howell, who was forcibly taken out by me, to the ground. Therefore, it is also painful to say strange things and worry about Hannu unnecessarily.

Yes, the battle is over. Me and Howell's ride and the battle over the 'Queen' of this island. So much so that it can no longer be overridden.

"... yeah, it's nothing. I was just wondering, 'cause I'm probably overthinking it."

…… I don't know. But you tell your concubine as soon as something happens, right?

"Yeah, I'm fine. 'Cause so far, my health hasn't changed."

I smile back at Hannu, who looks at me worryingly, and then I decide not to fail to be alert to my surroundings, though.

And within doing so, changes were coming to Mr. No.2 and Mr. Third Class.

"Oh? Behold, their colors are changing, Ratto"

Hanu was right.

The colors of the "giant state" of Mr. Blue No. 2 and Mr. Green No. 3 rapidly fall out and change to gray. The starting point is from the heavenly side of the head. from there gradually to the lower body and finally to the toe of the foot.

And I thought the color that focused around the thumb of my foot was deformed as soft as slime as it was -

"- Huh, it's been a while since I've been outside with this body."

"When was the first time -? - I don't remember, but it was more than a decade ago, right?

It was the blue and green slime that rapidly concentrated on the human form and actually turned it into a human-sized creature.

I didn't know. When Mr. No.1 was the same size as us, Hannu's technique turned "giant" into ash, but when it wasn't, I didn't expect him to drain the body like this.

"Say it! Then let's go say hello again! Look, Master Beowulf and Princess Xiaolong are going downstairs!

It's nothing to be in the air forever, so Mr. No.1 jumps off the wreckage of his "giant state" and goes down to the ground like that. Together, I'll take the skywalker down the transparent stairs and walk under Mr. Most, who joined Mr. Two and Mr. Third Class.

but.

"- Ahhh!? What the heck!? So, who is it?

Mr. One shouted at me again for something I didn't understand. That, too, points to Mr No.2 and Mr Third Class, who are supposed to be their own brothers.

"Oh, my God, brother. Have you been busy already? Does that mean you're only looking younger? Ugh."

"Hahahahahahahaha! I don't care who you say I am. I'm just not sure what you're talking about.

Naturally, even if the size changes, Mr. No.2 is Mr. No.2 and Mr. No.3 is Mr. No.3. Repeat the same words and actions, move with Kunechne and laugh with Kerakera.

but.

"- Oh, that...?

Like Mr. One, I suspected my eyes. [M]

For whatever reason - [woman], it is.

Who? You may think, but that is, of course - about Mr Second and Mr Third Class.

"Yes, no, no, no!? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey hey hey hey!?

To a surprise sight, Mr. I peels his eyes and shakes his neck wide and sideways. The magnitude of the tremor in his voice represented the extent of that agitation.

His perplexity is immeasurable. Probably as shocking as Flim, who I've always thought was a woman, would have been a man if I hadn't seen him in a long time. Modestly speaking, it is a major incident in Amazing Lands.

"... Hmm. I didn't know you'd change your gender."

Hannu spoke pale, perhaps, of the correct answer on this occasion. Here she goes down from my arms and stands on the ground with her own feet.

Yes, the human-sized second and third class men could not be the color of their skin, but they were normal women no matter where they came from.

Mr. Number Two is an aged beauty with blue skin. The clothes are also the same tiger pattern as Mr. No.1's waist roll, but a piece similar to the nightdress. "As giant as it is, there are no horns, but the long, wavy black gray hair is sarcastic and beautiful. Unlike Mr. No.1, the hair quality is well maintained.

Mr Third Class looked like a young girl with green skin. He's wearing a tiger pattern bikini type swimsuit, which is a bit highly exposed. Brothers - No, "Black gray hair with all my brothers and sisters is apparently a habit hairy, short bob jumped piompion everywhere. Contrary to the overall moist Mr. No. 2, Mr. Third Class has a similar vibrant impression around him. Features a smile that shows his teeth.

And, after observing so far, I realize since when did the voices of Mr. No.2 and Mr. No.3 belong to women? At least at the first meeting stage, I think it sounded like masculine tenor or baritone in their correspondence with them. When did that happen, it had turned into a mezzo-soprano and alto voice.

"Hey, why?!? Why are you being such a woman? That's crazy!? Yep!?"

"Hey, brother. Think about it for a second. Look, you and I just gave up [something important] as men to your brother, didn't you?

Ugh, and no. 2 smiling lusciously, hey, pointing to his own head. In that gesture, I immediately understood that "important things" equals "horns".

"Oh, hey, hey, hey!? How does that relate to this?

"So I said think about it for a second. Losing something important as a man...... don't you think that means - 'becoming onna'?

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!?

Mr. No.1's scream in protest sticks to the supertheory presented by Mr. No.2.

I don't speak to voices, but I'm pretty surprised, too.

I'm not sure about the details, but from what I've heard, it seems that horns for ghosts are also symbols of so-called 'men'. Therefore, transferring it is nothing more than handing over your own 'man', and thus the person who gave it to you has no choice but to be a 'man' or a 'woman' - and is that what this is about?

No, I kind of get it as a simple extra deduction, but the fact is, is that possible? I don't think reality is that simple.

"... is...? No, is...? No, no, no, no... hey, wait... hey, I don't know what that means...!?

Mr. One solidifies with dismay with his head. You seem so deeply shocked that the mouth you just opened can't be blocked.

What else? I'm confident that if Hannu, Mr. Rose, and Flim do the same thing, I'll be in worse shape.

But for Mr No.2 and Mr Third Class, the reaction of Mr No.1 would be interesting. Couscous, watching his eldest son hesitate as he nibbles.

"... I think it's about your brother you don't know, huh? This is how our family breeds. 'Cause me, my brother, third class...... oh, could it be' chan 'already? The mothers of the third class were also [ex-husband]. Hey?"

"So-so! Everyone said that, so I thought this would happen to you one day."

The Third Class follows Mr. No.2, who tells the shocking facts.

I mean, that seems to be the case.

Although the details of the mechanism are unknown, they and their clan are all men at birth, and no part or majority of them are acquired into women. That condition is the assignment of the horns, and I do not know what the reason is, but as a result of Mr I receiving the two horns, Mr II and Mr III have thus become women.

What the hell, Mr. One collapsed from his knee. Put your hands on it and crawl on all fours.

"... Seriously... I've never known you before..."

I've lived for years, and I've been turned over from the ground up. I couldn't help but weaken myself.

Mr. No. 2 and Mr. No. 3 walked over to Mr. No. 1, who slumped the splendid six corners he had produced from his head, and gave in to align his gaze.

"Uh, hey, honey? I'm sorry to surprise you. As a matter of fact, you and I..."

Having completely turned into an unusual girl, the third class said that much and turned his gaze to this one, and to the second next. Then Mr. No.2 took over the word,

"- Yes, I don't want you to be surprised, but you and I are third class..."

So I cut the words, put them between a beat, and said this at the same time.

"I'll be your daughter-in-law"

"... what?

Mr. No. 1 lifted his head in a really normal move to see if the shock would no longer run too far to feel anything.

In contrast, Mr. No.2 laughed happily,

"So you and I are going to be your brother's daughter-in-law, huh?

Go on, Hihi, and Third Class laughed with pleasure,

"Oh, I'm getting married to you! We're all going to get married and have kids!

To the words that were uttered in such a naive manner,

".................................... what?

Such a voice was returned, as the wind passed through the trees.

To put it too much, I accidentally look at Hannu. [M]

The next moment,

"Nah - thats it!?!?!?"

There was a scream that kept ripping my throat open.

In the end, when I listened to the details, 'tradition' made me och.

What I expected is not out of the ordinary, and I still don't know if all of Mr. One's clans - although I don't know if all ghosts are - are all men at birth, and they turn into women acquired with the act of giving up the horns of their heads to others.

Also, since the person who gave them the horns at that time is the lifelong companion - that is, the married person - and even their clan is polygamous, is the man required to have them, along with the horns he gets, even his daughter-in-law?

I don't know about brothers and sisters, but Mr. No.2 said, "I don't care if you call me brothers and sisters, I'm not hungry." 'and was flushed with unconvincing comments, which did not pose a problem at all.

Well, there's a culture over there, I guess it's settled. I didn't dare mention it because it didn't seem like the kind of thing we would talk about.

Whatever it is, 'I don't know... you didn't hear me... you're lying...' Mr. No.1 put aside once he's completely out of his ability to talk, and the priority should be me and Hannu's way of returning.

He says he defeated Isanami, the floor master, because of it, but he won't try to start the return process for long. In previous virtual spaces, Midgals Olm was said to have stopped (shut down) and then returned to normal space shortly.

If you wave the story around to Mr. Number Two,

"... maybe it has something to do with me?

The finger of Mr. II, who said in a glossy voice, points to the center of the underground space. It is just the direction in which the fire column, which is the Isanami body, was located.

If you turn your gaze when you are told, there is indeed a tickle and an instant blue and white glow in the dark with no light source other than the overhead light sphere. Is it around the center of the pillar where the flame is extinguished and turned into a mass of stone? Quietly repeated brightness as the heart beats.

Since there were no other clues, me and Hannu decided to say goodbye once to Mr. No.1, who was squatting on the ground, and to Mr. Third Class, who was stroking his head, and Mr. No.2, who was also rubbing his back, and approached the light blue-white and instantly.

I once again princess Hannu and climb into space with the function of a skywalker. In the middle of it,

"... Whew, Lato. Didn't you think so?

"Yeah? What's going on?

To comfort the boredom on the move, Hannu, in my arms, started chatting.

"Those ghosts... no," ex-girls. They said, "Give me the horn of your head, you ghost monkey, and you're a woman."

"Yeah, you're surprised. It's not like that in biology, but I'm surprised it's not what you hear so often."

"Mm-hmm. So is the concubine. But... don't you think that's strange?

"What...? What is it?

I suddenly swallow my saliva because it makes a strange voice. [M]

"See you in their outfits. To hear the story, did the blue one and the green one turn out to be women? So why did they wear [women's clothes]?

"Ah..."

Stunning, I unwittingly stop on my feet.

If you ask me, it sure is. Perhaps, but the second and third class transferred the horns after I jumped Howell into the lava with me on the road. It was really just a while ago.

Yet Mr. No.2's body was wearing a piece for women, and Mr. Third Class was dressed like a bikini type swimsuit.

That's crazy.

If you say you've been wearing that outfit since before your gender changed, it's as if you knew it would happen from the beginning.

No, or maybe...

"-Well, from the beginning, it was a woman...?

That's all I can think about.

I mean, transferring horns makes you a woman, with a bright red lie.

The truth is that from the beginning both Mr. No. 2 and Mr. No. 3 were women, but suppose you hit one play to trick Mr. No. 1 into making fun of him...

"... um. I don't know the truth, but it's possible."

"Wow..."

Groaning so much, I resume my steps.

For once, reason makes sense. Perhaps, but Mr. One broke up with his two younger brothers or their younger sisters, Minori. There is hardly any sexual difference between a man's and a woman's flesh when they are little, so it is sufficiently likely that Mr. One misidentified the two as' younger brothers'. What's more, he may not have lived with us because he's a belly-up sibling. For example, the likelihood of further misunderstandings increases.

Know it or not - no, Mr. No. 2 and Mr. No. 3, who definitely knew it, dared to pretend to be 'my brother' until today. Well, Mr. Number Two was entirely female in tone. That, and Mr. Third Class had a neutral atmosphere, so it's weirder to fool Mr. Number One no matter what he thinks.

"But does that mean... that it was decided from the beginning to give the corner to Mr. One...?

"I guess so. It's common in every land for my oldest son to succeed the governor."

Hard to believe. It's taking too long for me to dock, and I've got too many hands in it. I don't think so, but it's strange because I still think [there is] more to it than the story of 'If I transfer the horns, a man becomes a woman'.

"Well, it's none of my business with the concubines either way. Whatever the truth, that ghost monkey has to take his sister as his wife, right? I didn't like it, but it's a good heavy stone for such a high chronicle. You can lay it on your ass at best."

…………

I wonder. I guess this was also Mr. One's fate. I can't forbid sympathy because I'm in a position to be laid on a woman's ass.

- Strong, live...

In my heart, I give a voice of encouragement to Mr. One, who was squatting on the ground. Of course, it doesn't mean anything.

Well, the flashing of blue and white light approached me as I did so.

The biggest enemy at the moment on this floating island - Isanami. A pillar of stone every time the great tree, which is its remains.

It was, therefore, a stone altar, as seen somewhere, that was repeated brightness around its centre.

"Is this...?

Large holes worn in stone pillars. The obsidian altar, set to fit in there.

Memory is stimulated by an existing sense of vision, and the sight of that time flashes back in the back of the brain.

"- Oh, that time...!

Yes. The virtual space that fell with Flim and Mr. Ashley - "Midgard", in the same shape as the altar that was in front of the statue of the double-headed snake.

That means this is probably a checkpoint that Ayja has prepared, where we say it in orienteering.

"That means..."

The altar at that time, and the stone tablet we found just down the road, if we get close and touch it, something's bound to happen.

- Well, I'm sure it's not a busy thing...

I don't have a bad feeling about it, but I can't be holding hands without doing anything.

I have eyes on Hannu and eye contact. Exchange wills without words and nod at each other.

In no way did he reach out to the altar that would dazzle the blue and white light.

As soon as possible.

The blue-white light emitted on the altar became stronger at one time, and a bright white flash appeared.

"" - Huh! "

You two spell your eyelids, you deflect your face.

but the strong light was only for a moment. When I could see the light coming from behind my eyelids, I opened my horrible eyes.

"... what?

I leaked a similar voice to Mr. One earlier.

What appeared in front of us. It was an AR screen lined with short messages.

"... Hmm? What does it say?... Ko, Kongu... Razu...?

Like me, Hannu, with her eyelids open and her eyes closed to the AR screen rising in space, tries to get herself out and read the message.

In part, Hannu had a mix of languages I couldn't read, so I'll read them out for you instead.

"... congratulation. You guys made it through the first trial. Congratulations, really congrats..."

I read out the words that follow, and once I'm done. [M]

If I don't read it out like this, I have a pale expectation that maybe it will disappear or that the text will change due to timeliness, but naturally that can't happen.

So, never mind. Read on.

"... come on, [this is where it comes from]. Let's make this a more enjoyable festival next time. I want you to go around in full swing. I will do my best to cheer this up, so I hope you will..."

That was nothing but a desperate proclamation.

More importantly, it "came to life. Besides," The First Trial. "

This means that everything so far has only been [front seat].

Regardless, it was a struggle because there was a formidable enemy named Howell, but I have to think that I made it -.

"... I mean, what. [Still going on] So this farce is"

Ha, and I exhale when Hanu, who is holding the princess to me, is frightened. He punctured the AR screen with a tight gaze and looked indignant.

"Sounds like..."

I thought I had finally crossed an awful and steep peak while climbing, and I felt like an even more steep mountain stretch in front of me. My consent must be wordless. [M]

It was that moment.

Suddenly, the entire underground space rang and shook up.

"-Na......!?

"By what?

Me and Hannu are not affected by shaking thanks to standing in the air, but the scale of the tremor is not concomitant. It is so violently shaken that the figure of the black altar in front of it can be seen bracing. If you do poorly, it could be more of an earthquake than when you were fighting Isanami earlier.

A roar rang as if a giant waterfall had appeared right around the corner, splitting his ear.

- No way the collapse had stopped... you mean you didn't make it...!?

The worst possibility passes the back of your brain. Has Isanami absorbed much of the island's energy just because she has been in a state of well-being until now?

As it is, the island decomposes in the air and falls, but before that, this underground space collapses and crushes to death.

- Go back to Mr. and Mrs. One now... No, you can't! We can't all help the boulders! Then I'll protect Hannu alone...!

"- Hannuh, hold on to me!

When I had to, I decided to jump to the surface in Drill Break.

"Wait, Lato! Look at that!

Hannu's sharp stop was put on.

What her short finger shows is an AR screen that doesn't make it slight in this wobble.

Until just now, an AR screen displaying a message of celebration or [curse] reflected a landscape somewhere familiar.

"What is this... a distant view of the island...?

Naturally it looks familiar. It's on the AR screen because it was this floating island we're on. It ascends to the sky when I come here, almost coinciding with the sight when I look down from the sky.

It was apparently real-time footage of what method it was shooting, and the screen was full of violently shaking islands.

but after a few seconds the camera starts to rise and slowly drifts away from the island. The floating islands in the screen are getting smaller and smaller.

I don't know what the hell you're going to do with this footage, but me and Hannu are going to nail it to the screen.

Eventually, the camera stopped at a large distance from the island and in an overlooking position. Ethereal and white clouds account for 90% of the screen, with potpounds and floating islands below. It's a shrinkage rate that doesn't even know if the island is shaking.

I don't know what that means, but there's got to be some intention - and there's been a hell of a change in front of us staring at the AR screen.

A new island emerged to stain out of space, where there was nothing but blue in the sky.

That's not one or two, either.

One to the left and one to the right of the floats we are in. Once those figures are clear, one more left and one more right. It grows as if it were a few beads.

A floating island of the same size that appears in turn like a domino defeat. As it continued, it eventually took the form of drawing large circles.

Yes, I likened it to "like a number of beads" earlier, but it is exactly. More than a dozen islands, as a necklace, are placed in the sky drawing a single circle.

A complete circle was formed by multiple floating islands, and I wondered if an incredible archipelago could be created, and that was not the end of it.

In the middle of the circle, an island of unparalleled proportions began to emerge.

Oshima appears neglected as a ghost and gradually becomes certain of its contours. Ten times the size of this floating island we're on, no, it's more than that. I don't think there's as much floating city float rises on boulders, but I wonder if there's still nearly half of them.

Neglected from a space of nothing, as if it had moved from another world to this world, Oshima surrounds its outer edge with many islands and reigns as if it were a king.

By analogy, if Oshima is one planet, the little floating island we're on is a whispering satellite.

"Oh no... from a space of nothing, something so big...? No, it's not... No way, it was in phase difference space from the beginning...?

The first thing that came to mind was Teng himself who sent us here - Ayja's face and voice.

He had broken into the special security room, taking us and Mr. Villey, The Knights of Pale Red Flames, Noble Prominence Nights, and a flavor of Howell and the others, each to a different phase dimension, creating a situation where they were in the exact same space but could not face each other and could not hear each other.

Perhaps so did these islands. Maybe all the islands were there from the beginning. I just didn't see it. They were shifting the phase of the dimension and making it unrecognizable to each other.

That's now disarmed. That's why I became visible.

"... Hmm. It's a big deal for a farce..."

As soon as Eija's intentions seemed clear, power fell out of Hannu's voice. He even seems to be impressed by it anymore, passing through the shuddering.

While we shared our thoughts, the footage progressed, and eventually even the "bridge" connecting the islands appeared.

Of course there is a bridge to the neighboring island, as well as one to cross to the central 'main island'.

When I got here, I knew I didn't have to ask about the soul guts that showed this footage.

Come on, I'm telling you.

The bridge is there. Come across -.

The crossing point - that is, on the main island in the centre, the [production] that was in the earlier message is waiting.

"... looks like we're gonna have to go, this is"

"Yeah... I don't really feel like riding..."

The earthquake that was blowing my surroundings slowly subsided when I snorted at Hannu, who said in a sigh. Let all the islands emerge from the phase difference space, just saying I've done my errands.

Then a new change occurs on the AR screen, which was reflecting a huge floating island and a flock of islands surrounding it.

That's all it took to see the fantastic sight as a wallpaper, and an extra message came up.

Hannu reads out a string drawn in a font with a soft impression in his voice.

"The exciting production is scheduled to take place on the main island in the middle. Anyone who passes the qualifying round can come here whenever he wants. I'll be waiting for you with a long neck. Come on, let's enjoy [the game]...? It's a shame. Keep doing all this, and you have no idea what you want to do with it. What the hell is this Ayja guy?"

"Hmmm......"

I want to know that, too.

Originally, it must have started with Ayja wanting to make a pact with me. If you believe his words, everything so far is a "contract" procedure. But what the hell is the point of the "process" that involves everyone but me?

"Well. Sooner or later, they will be seen together. Tighten it up, even then, until it makes you throw up."

Now that you realize you have no choice but to think about it, the audacious Hannu shudders about the noise and cuts off the story.

Nonetheless, now we have decided where to go next.

Aim is Central Oshima, a floating archipelago.

So [production] in this mysterious space awaits us.

Maybe I can rendezvous with Mr. Rose, Flim and Mr. Villey there.

"Well, shall we hurry up, Hannu? Oh, but before you do, say hello to Mr. One."

I heard a light, high noise in my ear saying, "Picon."

"-? So, what's the sound now?

He even sounded like Hannu. She looks around, as she explores the source of the sound.

Then I saw a strange light around the upper right corner of my vision.

Fluorescent yellow brilliance, flashing with chickens.

When I turned to my face thinking of something, but the little light remained fixed in the upper right corner of my vision and moved with me as I moved.

"... that?

Tilt your neck, then you immediately notice.

This is an AR display. It's also an intravisually fixed type.

If you think about it and take a closer look, it seemed like some sort of status display.

HP: ■ ■ ■ ■

MP: ■ ■ ■ ■

…………

"Ho? So what's this?

Apparently, he's also visible to Hannu's eyes. She reaches out and tries to grasp the AR indication that she can't possibly even grasp. Of course, little hands can't catch anything just scratching the void.

But this is - if I'm not mistaken in my perception, this statuses display looks immensely familiar.

I haven't done much lately, but when I was a kid, I installed it on SEAL and played with it a lot.

But why does an indication like [it] come out here now?

The unpleasant feeling goes up and down my spine and goes back and forth.

But there are few other possibilities.

That's why I accidentally say that name.

"... let's enjoy [the game]... could it really be that the [RPG game] starts...?
