Shinka no Mi

"And my father......? Mother.........?

I looked at the two people in front of me and said so to squeeze them out.

He looks at me standing up flashly and smiles calmly at my father - Shu Cheng (Hiragi) and his mother, who is crying and laughing - Shu Ichimi (Hiragi Kazumi).

"... how... how..."

"My fathers don't know, but if you find out, stay here."

"Then I met these Zeanos nearby, and..."

My mothers explain why, but my head is white and nothing comes in.

We both died in an accident and thought we'd never see each other again.

Yet......

"Ho, really... father and mother... are you...?

"Oh."

"That's right... sorry to leave you alone... that was hard, wasn't it? It was painful, wasn't it?

My mother hugged me and my father stroked my head.

Sure, I have a feeling you're gonna hug me. I have a feeling you're gonna stroke me.

The moment I realized it, my eyes filled with tears.

"And, Father... Mother... ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Don't even rely on the Shoutaes for their days on Earth after the two of them died, I took the liberty of hugging myself and almost broke my heart many times.

Why did he die?

I didn't want you to be alone.

The grief for being dead and the anger of how you left me. And the fear of being left alone.

Such emotion and the joy of seeing you this way.

All sorts of emotions mix together, and even if you open your mouth to say something, it just comes out whimpering.

Still - I was more than happy to be touched again this way.

My mother slaps me gently on the back and my father keeps stroking my head, crying like a little child.

The Zeanos, though they were so lame, were watching us with a loving smile, without anyone laughing.

◆ ◇ ◆

"Ugh... gusu... oh, sorry... suddenly cry out..."

I don't know how long it's been, but even I kept crying, I was finally able to calm down.

By being a little calm, I realize I have a fuss.

That was that my appearance should have changed dramatically, but we were both firmly aware that I was Makoto.

I think the hood has changed considerably when it comes to seeing faces because they were coming off in battle with evil spirits...

When I said what I thought, we both twisted our necks the other way.

"? What are you talking about? What father missees his own son?"

"Right? It's up to you to know that you're my son at first sight. Hey?"

"That's right. I grew up in a little while... and you became a man."

We both laugh face to face.

Seeing the two of them, I felt strongly that they were really invincible, even though I was embarrassed.

"And we're both kind of young...?

Yes, for some reason, the looks of the two of you are younger than the last I saw, probably in their 30s or so at their age.

Both my father and mother have dark hair, dark eyes and a mediocre appearance, how could I really have been born a busy one from these two......

"It is! It's amazing, isn't it? Makoto. Because it's easy to be young just to come to this world!

"Right... wait, huh? Can't this be a product? 'An enchanting spot to rejuvenate just by going!'... don't be handsome."

"I'm not handsome!?"

You can't be good-looking!? I don't know if you know, but you're in the underworld!? You're dead!

It's been a long time since I've seen this kind of interaction and I used to get tired, but now I'm so happy.

After sighing, I noticed one more thing, and I mouthed it.

"But... really, why are you two here? Because here, it's the underworld of the other world..."

Yes, it's a story on Earth that two people died, so why are there two people in the underworld of different worlds?

Then Mr. Lucius, now not his parents, who had been watching me in silence, told me.

"Every world has a thing called the underworld, and it doesn't mix. But it's even comparable to a god named you... No, the fact that more than that came to the underworld drew two people with strong connections to you beyond the boundaries of the underworld. Well, I told you because I was originally drawn from the underworld of a different world, and unlike us, I didn't seem to be able to grasp your current situation."

That's too big of a scale.

Well, I almost flushed it, but Mr. Lucius said more than God about me, didn't he?!? You really have my body strayed regardless of my will!

"Oh, Makichi is amazing."

"Right. If you're a man, you gotta be big."

You don't even know what that means often, but the two of you are nodding yeah.

... No, but now I have to thank my body for that.

Because that's how my body blew up, and that's how it triggered the Tondemo phenomenon.

"... I was surprised when I came to this world, but I was also convinced. We've been watching over you, and one day all the students at school disappeared. Don't know where I've been all this time, I was anxious, but now that I know I was in another world..."

"Right...... the fathers also know you've been having a hard time. You put up with me a lot. I can see it, but I can't help it Regret... I wanted to kill them who've been abusing you."

His father said so with regret and anger.

The fact that I was just impudent and I've been worrying about my fathers even after I died was harder on me than I've been abused.

At the same time, even though I was dead, I was so happy that you were watching over me that I almost burst into tears again.

"It's okay. As my dads taught me, I've been trying to think positively."

I had a full grin so as to reassure him as much as I could.

And Zeanos opens his mouth waiting for us to finish our story.

"Well... it's time for me to get down to business?

"Oh, I'm fine. Thanks."

"Never mind. Take care of your parents.... Well, Seiichi. You are an evil spirit... No, you must defeat the evil spirit king. No matter, let's help ourselves with that. But Makichi can't fight evil spirits as he is now."

"It's..."

Sure, all my attacks have been reflexed by evil spirits, but Zeanos are capable of doing damage.

"So not only do we work together to defeat them, but we also teach you how to fight evil spirits."

Abel, who took over Zeanos' words, said so with a refreshing grin.

"I think I figured it out by fighting, but a normal attack doesn't work for evil spirits. So, it's going to be important…" Vitality. "

"'Vitality'...?

Life force... is like the epitome of that blackening mankind's greatest enemy, [G], with it, isn't it? Horrible.

"Yes, 'vitality'. Evil spirits, as their name suggests, are dead beings, but by pouring in 'vitality', which is also a testament to living there, evil spirits cannot sustain their existence."

"But Abel and the others are dead, aren't they?

"Whoa! We're dead too, but thanks to Makoto, we're no different from the living in the underworld. Plus, our brave class' life force 'makes it easy to wipe it out, even if it's dying, to the extent of evil spirits! Gahahahahaha!"

"No, you can't just be dying. This is why idiots..."

To the words of the warrior Garth, Anna the hunter looked so stunned.

"Hahaha...... well anyway, we can work as well as when we live thanks to Makoto, so we were able to fight evil spirits with 'vitality'. It's okay, Makichi will be able to handle it soon!

Lilianna, the wise man, said that to encourage me.

"Right. In fact, it's not that hard to do"

"Really?

That's what Zeanos says to reassure me, too.

"What, I'll be able to do it soon. It's our job to teach it."

"I see... so you're saying that Zeanos and the others are going to be training me?

"Don't say that."

"Then hurry up, please! It's a waste of time. So, what are we gonna do? Like starting where you feel 'life force'?

When I asked, Zeanos replied with a laugh.

"Hahahahahaha! Makichi is good at jokes. They'll learn in action, won't they?

"…………………………… to?

"Come on, let's find the evil spirit now. Whoa, I'll also teach you how to find evil spirits, just like I intend to."

"Are you serious?!?"

Not like my imaginary training!

No, I sure don't have time for that, so that's probably the quickest part!

My father, listening to our conversation, nodded like he was impressed.

"I see... this is how my child grows."

"Because this is a special example!? They don't all grow this way!?... don't they?

I was getting anxious when I said it.

In this way, I was forced by Zeanos to fight in action under the name of training.
