"Holy shit... where are we?"
I was lost all by myself.
Danielle and Latiel broke up after saying that they would hold the [Bloodstream].The four of us, Mikael, Kaguya and Abdiel, were on our way to the Kingdom of White Pearl, and I noticed that I was lost.
That's funny... I remember the mica frogs in front of me, but they weren't there before.
"Hmm. It's not popular... I wonder if it's a private house somewhere."
Looking around, there's only a plain.
It seems to have fallen off the street.
I knew you weren't going to walk thinking.No, I haven't spoken to the mica.Those three were walking around talking in front of me, and they didn't seem to notice me without them.
I stretch out a lot and snap my neck out.
"No, it's been a long time since I've been alone."
Usually, there are Shiranui and Kaguya.
It's been a really long time since I walked alone.
"In the meantime, I have to go to the White Pearl Kingdom...?"
And I noticed it here.
There was a large building behind the plain.
It's unusual for a building to be in the middle of a plain, like a fortress.
Lucky for you, you want to hear the road over there?
I walked towards the building.
◇◇◇◇◇◇
"That's a building..."
Is it a wooden castle?
I was looking up at the big gate.
Oh, there's a gatekeeper just in time.
Um, excuse me.
"... I don't know. Do you know where this is?"
"No, no, no. I need you to show me the way."
Go home.
Oh, that's terrible, isn't it?
The gatekeeper waves his hand to get rid of the bugs... it's a little annoying.
But I'm lost. We need to rendezvous with Michael and the others and find Prim.
I'll just tell the doorman again.
"Please, tell me where this is.And I want to go to the White Pearl kingdom, so tell me the way. "
"You said you could go home.More than that, we're going to mess around here by ourselves soon.If you don't want to get hurt, get lost. "
"Do you want it back? What is it, a festival?"
"Kid... just get out of here."Before you get hurt. "
The doorman threw a long stick at me.
Mmm... I've just heard the way, but this is not how I treat you.
Sure, there are a lot of signs from the other side of the gate.The numbers... are not thousands or 2,000.How wide is the other side of this gate?
I'd like to see it if it's a festival.
"Hey, seriously tell me.What are you doing here? A festival? "
"... this is the last time. Go away."
"I'm glad you told me. Please."
And the gatekeeper's stick was swinging down.
I squeezed the stick in half a step and unfolded the blade on my right. Cut the rod.
"Huh!?"
"This is the last time. Please, show me the way."
"... you're licking me"
Oh dear. I made the gatekeeper angry... I put my hand on the handle of the sword that was pointed at my waist.
Oh, my God. I'm not gonna fight.
Then ─ ─ ─ all of a sudden, I heard a thunderbolt.
"Open the door!! Open the door!!"
And then, slowly, a giant gate opened.
The doorman told me in a hurry.
"Oh no, kid, get away from there!!"
Huh, why?
"Get away from me!!"
The gates opened and a lot of people appeared...
In the middle was a lion-like man with his hair upside down in a bright red kimono.
The doorman lowered his head in a hurry.
"I'm sorry too!! Dad, I'll get this kid out of here right away!!"
…………
"Father? Your father? Hey, I need to know the way, but he's mean enough to tell me.Tell me the way to the White Pearl Kingdom. "
When I said that, there were about ten men and women behind my father.
Everyone is quite a user. Somehow, some of them seem peculiar.
Then my father pushed them out front.
"You, Valflair, right?"
"What? You know about me?"
"... why did you come here?" Alone? "
"Yeah, I got lost... because I saw this place.I want to go to the White Pearl Kingdom. "
"I'm sorry, but that won't come true... because now I'm going to kill you half."
Eh
Father pushes his body forward and puts his hand on the handle of the sword on his hips.
"Everybody, stay put."
"Eh, hey, why?"
"I'll teach you to have an equal match.I'm a peculiar species... my abilities are "appraisal (analyzer)".It's a common ability everywhere, but my appraisal is different... I can appraise the human mind. "
"Um, listen to me.Why fight? "
"Which... let me show you your heart"
My father's eyes glowed faintly.
◇◇◇◇◇◇
It was the black Darkness itself.
...... well, what is this?
The sticky air is tangled with my father's heart.
The [Appraisal] excluded Kokoro, but on the contrary, it felt like my heart had been taken in.
I've been with the ability for a long time, but it was my first experience.
Is this the heart? ... stupid, impossible.
Every human heart had a Light.
Hope, desire, and memories of living. It's overflowing with such things.
But there was no such thing in Flair's heart.
It was ─ ─ a darkness that seemed to be sparkling.
This isn't good.
... I don't know the taste. No, we have to get out of here.
and...... I noticed it here.
Something... Something powerful is going on in this dark world.
─ ─ ─ Ahhn?
The world burst into flames in an instant.
The explosive guren dyes the world.
It's... a burning weird bird.
N-No...!?
The strange bird looked at Zenjuurou Chidamari's heart... and twisted his face.
Ah ─ ─ ─ feeding time (...)
◇◇◇◇◇◇
"Hey, are you okay?"
I suddenly knelt down and called out to "Father" who sweats.
My father stood up and distance himself from me.
"I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-IWho are you!! "
"Whatever... I'm flare."
"Bye, baba, you bugger!! What do you have in your heart!?"
My father touches the sword with his shaking hands.But you're not going to pull it out. You're still shaking.
I tilt my head and reach out to my father.
"Hey, seriously, big length" Heh.... "
My father took a few steps back.
Eh, am I... scaring you?
Such a bright red flashy uncle was afraid of me.
"Ah... you scared me.Just tell me the way to the White Pearl Kingdom. "
…………
My father pointed to the left with his trembling hand.
I'm going to lighten up and start walking toward the direction I pointed.
"I don't know, thanks. Bye."
Saying hello to my father, I walked towards the Kingdom of White Pearl.
◇◇◇◇◇◇
My father, Zenjulou Chidamari, sat down, sweating like a waterfall.
"Daddy!? What the hell..."
"I won't stop....."
Huh?
"Abort. Valflair... Abort his involvement!!Turn back the gold!! We will stand aside from the circumstances of the White Pearl Kingdom!! "
"Dad... why?"
"Don't get involved in that.That's... something to be afraid of.I wish I could die fighting. But... that's not the dimension.If I get involved, it burns out..... "
Having said that, Zenjulou Chidamari returned to the [Blood Runner].
Thus, Flair was able to keep Zenjuurou Chidamari, fifth in the Superior Adventurer Series, away from the Kingdom of White Pearl without fighting.
