The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Quiet story 11: Those who wriggle in a different world

"So I am-"

"In this situation-"

"Garuru Lulu! -

`` I follow the precedent-''

A four-headed lion-shaped god, the God of Space and Creation, Zuluwan is now engaged in negotiations with a god in another world.

... Negotiations are supposed to take place, but Zuluwan himself has no idea if this is a negotiation.

Whether repetition of persuasion, pleading, dealing, provocation, and the exchange of verbal violence can be called bargaining.

(Any action that aims to negotiate as a whole can be said to be negotiations regardless of the speech used in the process?)

With that in mind, Zuluwan negotiates with the god of "Earth," a world in which Vanderro in the Lambda world and Bravers in the Origin world originally lived their first life.

The appearance was both strange and great from Zuluwan's point of view.

At first glance, it appears that all religions, all mythological legends, all the gods and heroes that appear in them, their kins of deities, fairy monsters, and even descriptive historical figures are all together.

But, in fact, they are all one god.

Just as there are countless different worlds, there are some cases in the formation of the world and God.

The most common of these is the pattern where God first exists and God makes the world. Lambda, the world in which Zuluwan originally exists, also applies to this.

The second most common is when other world gods guide and emigrate their followers to an already existing world. The plan of the demon king Gudranis, who led an invasion war with evil and evil gods in the lambda world, would have fit if he had won.

And the least is this "Earth".

At first there is a world, living things evolve naturally and evolve further, and God is finally created by the religion of evolved living things.

In a sense, it is the purest form of religion.

"Because it is-"

"We have a position-"

"noisy! Shut up!

"I'd like to somehow do that, this street, please"

That's why it's complicated and complicated.

After all, without any body or lid, "the god of the earth" is like a multi-person with all personality always visible. Moreover, the deities increase as the people of the earth pray to the new god.

And because there are so many, God is less likely to directly affect the earth like lambda. It is like a deity of different deities is always beside you. The deities hinder each other and eventually settle down to the point where small miracles can occasionally occur.

The mythical gods who have lost their followers and have almost worn out their legends are slowly melting away or merging with other gods, but the birth of the phantom god seems to be faster than it is now.

Seeing the presence of fear in urban legends, anime, comics, and game characters as part of God, you want the Lambdas to divide their creativity a bit, but they won't help you a bit Do you?

(Negotiations with the Earth gods and the Origin gods, 100,000 years ago, went smoothly ... I don't have the opportunity to experience such complicated negotiations, so I should enjoy it.)

Zuluwan can find pleasure at any time and continues to negotiate with God on Earth.

Junpei Murakami sat on a bench and squeezed at a purchased sandwich, listening to the news streaming from the stall radio.

"Teacher, why are you still on the radio?"

Asked by Kanako Tsuchiya, sitting opposite, he replied boring.

"I told you before, you can be hacked on the internet, but you can't be hacked on the radio.

"Well, isn't the teacher a teacher?"

Murakami was the teacher who led the school excursions on earth, and was the classroom teacher who was enrolled in later Vandaloos, Hiroto Amamiya, Narumi Naruse, Asahiki Minami, and Kanako Tsuchiya.

So it is no wonder that the students at the time, including her, even after reincarnating at the origin, call Murakami a teacher, but Murakami himself does not like it.

"I haven't taught you anything in this life.

I have time now, but I'm not a teacher because I was a teacher in a previous life. ''

"Oh, I mean, I wanted to be a professional athlete, not a teacher, since I was in my last life."

"Yes, I dreamed of becoming a professional tennis player and working in the world. I wasn't talented enough to overcome the opposition of my parents."

If the stall clerk and other customers heard Murakami's words, he might have tilted his head. This is because there is no sport called "tennis" in the origin.

However, there are world-class sports where you hit a ball with a racket. It is a sport whose rules are quite different from those of earth tennis, where physical and magical fights are allowed, with the use of several types of magic.

Murakami was the second youth reincarnated as an Origin, aiming to become a professional in that sport. The aptitude and talent of the magic given to Rhodocorte, the physical abilities and reflexes that had been blessed since being on earth, and the dynamic visual acuity. By hiding and using cheat abilities, he was only a hundred players when he was a student on earth. At Origin, he grew up to be a student but a professional voice.

...... It is a thing of the past now.

"Even if you say that, it's a former idol."

"Wow, do you say that?"

"I'm not a teacher. Don't make the back tone.

Kanako Tsuchiya was a mediocre high school girl on earth, but was a noted idol at the origin. It was not because of his appearance than when he was on earth, his singing, dancing and acting skills were outstanding, or he had strong sales from production.

And for her, like Murakami, it's a thing of the past.

The reason why they cut off their dreams was due to the activities of Hiroto Amamiya. He launched a rebirth nonprofit organization, Bravers, where he opened the world to his special abilities. It has become clear that Murakami and Tsuchiya have cheat abilities, and in the Origin world they have completely different powers than magic, whose principles cannot be analyzed.

It is impossible to verify that they used the ability in a game or audition, but it has become widely known that they can no longer work in the industry.

At that time, I was reluctantly convinced by the persuasion that Hiroto Amamiya said, "To live in this world, simply exploiting abilities will create too many enemies when it clearly becomes apparent." Indeed, it is true that there was a movement near Murakami to seek out the secrets they could play. In particular, Murakami was speculated to use special magic not known to other players.

Even if Amemiya did not set up Bravers, it would have been a matter of time before his rules had been violated.

For a while, they scammed their vanity in their activity at Bravers. The show, which gained attention in disaster relief and showed off some cheat abilities, was in some ways the same as the attention and cheers of professional athletes and idols.

However, the situation has changed with the two incidents that shook the world.

The first case was the death attribute extinction case where the undead occurred in a secret lab of the now-renamed military state, which had exported various products to the world. The incident changed the nature of Bravers's activities and organization.

From heroes who simply save people from disasters, they have begun killing each other who do not want to be involved in military activities or who do not want to be involved. Humanitarian issues, the war on terrorism, and such a topic are no different from bloody killings.

The second incident was the case of Kanata Kaito, who was called the Fallen Hero Case and was featured in media, tabloids and wide shows around the world, and was killed by Shishiin Mari.

The crimes that Kanata has committed so far were not sweet things that could be defended, depending on the view as dark heroes, etc., but were only the work of the badly smelly lower-ranking people.

Fortunately, the obvious reason was that the same Bravers' Mari Shishiin killed him. So, by impressing her as the heroine of the tragedy, image deterioration from the general public was suppressed to some extent. However, the leadership of Hiroto Amamiya was marked by a big question mark, and society was no longer a perfect hero.

Soon Murakami left the Bravers with about a dozen members.

Invite students on earth to see if there is any reason to imitate the hero and endure themselves becoming rich, even if the organization is not innocent or innocent already.

At that time, radio broadcast news about the bombing at the Bravers Headquarters.

"By the way, did you kill Alan and Izumi? I have just announced that there are still many injured people."

This incident was a crime committed by Murakami who joined the terrorist organization "Eighth Guidance", as Alan speculated after his death.

"That's right. He said [Gaiser], they were killed by me that day, and the guy of" Enma "would have guaranteed it."

[Gazer] broke away with Murakami ... To be precise, he was a former member of the abducted Bravers. Unlike [Oracle] and [computation], she has no control but has almost complete [future prediction] ability, and suddenly predicts a serious incident involving her.

However, the person himself could not stand the grotesque image that can be seen at the time of the pressure and foresight, and dabbled with drugs, and in fact long before Kanata's evil became evident, he became a crap with a drug addiction.

He was abducted by Murakami from the medical facility in which he was detained, and is now a devout fanatic, probably because he was also brainwashed in Pluto.

And Enma is a member of Eighth Guidance. It seems that the face and name of a human who died in the past are known for some reason. Since he is not a reincarnate, it is probably an effect of some magic, but Murakami does not know the details.

"There's no point in saying that Gaiser and Enma lie. And I even used Kanata, which I had saved so hard. If I didn't kill it, I would be in the red."

"Right.

But what do the Plutos want to do? At first I thought it would be revenge, but for that I'm calm and I don't seem to have a strange sense of justice. If you kill for an unknown purpose, you'll do charity. ''

"Okay. I don't know what fanatics think. Well, it would be fine if I could use it until the end of the job."

After eating the sandwich, Murakami rolled the wrapper and threw it away.

"[Oracle] Is it manner violation to avoid? Isn't it a crime to throw away litter around here?"

"Oh, fine, if there's someone to crack down on."

[Oracle] answers the questions asked by the owner, Takeya Endo, but Murakami knew that the answer was a very simple ruler.

That's why even when they killed Shimada, they bombed Shimada and Aran immediately after committing a minor crime, and then disappeared after committing a minor crime.

At this time, they disappeared into a crowd.

The international terrorist organization, Eighth Guidance, is different from other terrorists.

The principle of action is the destruction of institutions that study exhaustive attribute magic and the killing of researchers. And the killing of Bravers. These offenses are committed in a discriminatory manner.

Yes, discriminatory.

No matter what political or religious purpose a terrorist has, it is not supported for more than a certain reason because the crimes are indiscriminate. Bombs, biological weapons, poisons, and magic at the origin. The victims of the scourge caused by them can include the elderly, children, pregnant women, and friends and acquaintances and stakeholders of terrorist supporters who have accidentally stopped by.

In some cases, the supporters themselves are also affected. That's why.

However, The Eighth Guidance discriminates the subject radically. Until now, researchers have been killed directly by research institute staff, guards, bodyguards, and military personnel. Izumi Shimada and Aran of Bravers, only employees working at Bravers, have not hurt anyone unrelated.

In addition to doing business with sponsors in order to obtain funding for activities, we sometimes do charitable businesses that are worth less than a thousand dollars.

Above all, they do not seek new members.

Therefore, human beings and Bravers who specialize in "Eighth Guidance" perceive them as very special cults, not terrorists.

"They say we're cults and I'm the guru. That's an interesting story."

Pluto, a girl with long black hair in a white dress, sits down on a beach bed by the pool and talks to a white Dateman lying next to her bed.

Glasses create an intellectual atmosphere, while beard and chest hair create a wildness. At first glance, an elite businessman seems to be serving a young Asian lover.

However, the man's gently hanging right finger remained caught in the gun trigger.

" ..."

Pluto continues, ignoring the slightly leaking voice of the man.

"What's interesting? I've never preached, commanded, or guided anyone. No religion can ever educate anyone?

In the first place I am neither a leader nor a mentor. It's important to me because I'm weak, and it's relatively good looking, so I only have a lot of chances to show up in videos that I send to the media or publish on the net. ''

"Because I'm free, I work my head out and say a lot. I'm already a leader."

The man who appeared while saying so was a man whose head was enlarged from the forehead to the back of the head. He was holding an unconscious baby in both hands. The tube that was cut on the way is shaking.

"Jack, next time?"

"Ah, cerebral palsy?-I don't know the details, but I'm the same dead and alive friend as Jack."

"Then, say goodbye to that friend."

When Pluto points his white hand at the baby, something like black smoke emerges from the baby and is sucked into her hand.

"Yeah, say goodbye.

And Jack disappears without sound while holding the baby.

Pluto doesn't care, and touches the face of the next man. Then, the man died in sight. The tension disappears from the skin, the eyes fall down and the cheeks go away.

"No, don't ... you're out of the eighth guide. Wash your feet, don't kill anyone again, swear, so don't smoke anymore ..."

The man was a killer hired by a rich man to kill Pluto and retrieve his body.

He was known as a skilled man, but has now fallen into a vulnerable position to beg Pluto.

Pluto laughs at the man's begging as he hears an interesting joke.

"Huh, you, when I heard that I didn't feel guilty to killing, I said I was a tool. I don't remember feeling guilty. A guy who pays and uses me is bad What.

You can't stop work on your own, affirming that you are a tool. ''

Despair spread to the eyes of a man looking up at Pluto, who laughs happily, and became empty.

"Yes, I'm dead. Good night."

"Oh, you're dead? But it was just fine, it seems like it was the last time you did earlier."

Jack reappears and laughs with white teeth.

Jack, called "Jack-O-Lantern," wanders around the world just like Jack, who scams his devil and cannot enter heaven or hell after death and wanders around the world ... It was able to move in the same way as magic [Transfer].

However, you should only travel to members of The Eighth Guidance, or to those who are unconscious or have no life expectancy.

You can simply move with the patient and return to where they were.

I brought the baby, who was still so heavy, and then brought it back.

"It was the last. I wanted to collect a little more" death. "

Pluto. She can treat the dying beings by depriving others of their "death" and their vitality, and make up for the cost of others.

In fact, most of the treatments used by the Eighth Guidance, which is a way of financing charities and sponsors, use this power of Pluto.

"But it's terrible. Did you forget to tell me not to smoke too much because I'll use it later?"

A man who supposedly died waking up complained. Then turn your neck and shoulders to make sure you are feeling good.

"Oh, I'm stiff. The former black marines killer who had been here before was better."

"I'm sorry, 'Shade.' I thought she wouldn't like it anyway because she was white and had bad eyes."

"Eyes? I don't think it's that bad ... but these glasses are Date glasses. They're props for disguise."

A shader who removes his glasses and puts it on the side table. Not a shade but a haunted body of the killer.

Once housed in the laboratory after being "protected" by the Bravers, Shade, who has been turned into a mental life form close to a soul without a body, can become possessed by the corpse just after death and move as his own body I can do it.

"Hmm"

"You don't seem interested. After all, was it just an excuse?"

"Rather, what happened to the other people here? Did you kill them?"

"Yeah," Berserk "and" Berbayaga "worked hard." Valkyrie "was also happy. I guess I'll be pulling back with" Isis "for a while."

This mansion with a pool is actually not owned by the Eighth Guidance, but owned by a criminal boss. The Plutos retaliated because the boss of the organization, known for the martial arts, sought to gain her strength.

"Jack thinks he would be happy if he had Pluto cure his illness with his money."

"I'm criminal because I'm greedy."

"It's prejudice, Pluto. We're criminal organizations, too."

"That's not prejudice, but truth. We're greedy."

The purpose of the Plutos "Eighth Guidance". It is to die.

Everything at that time was a codename "Undead" that helped those who lived a hellish life at the Institute at the time, in order to follow the intentions of later Bandarou, Hiroto Amamiya.

However, the Plutos met "Undead" in a matter of minutes, without any words. He was only rescued, healed to some extent the wounds he had suffered, the limbs he had lost, and the side effects of the experiment. At that time, the magical powers of "Undead" flowed in and merged with them to become a part of them. That's it.

Therefore, the Plutos inferred the intention of "Undead" from their short actions, and used a mixture of desires and delusions as guidelines for their actions.

The raid on the Death Magic Institute is to keep no more casualties like ours.

Thorough and discriminatory killing was because Undead only killed those who had to revenge.

The reason for Bravers is that we treated Undead unilaterally, just as a monster.

And eventually die.

Die and go to the same place as Undead. That is what they want.

The Plutos don't know anything about how Undead meant to help them. I don't know if I'm sympathetic with myself, if it's justice, or if I'm going to use it later as a handpiece.

Nevertheless, the Plutos try to devote everything to the already destroyed Undead, because for them there is nothing more than Undead.

Not all members of The Eighth Guidance have a family with blood. Orphans and sold children gathered from somewhere to study death attribute magic.

Severe experimentation as a guinea pig, isolated in a number and cage-like room, lamenting its own degenerating body, and listening to the footsteps of ruin that can be heard at the same pace, whether afraid or begging I could only do it.

After the disappearance of Undead, they were unable to do anything, and they were protected by international organizations by Bravers. Yes, protection.

It is managed by number, separated again from friends who are known to be other than yourself, trapped in a cage-like room, fiddled with a researcher who casts like a spell, `` This is also to cure you '' Turned.

The escape from the new hell is due to the magic that Undead has given us.

Any justice will be wielded in places unrelated to the Plutos, those unrelated will be punished and those unrelated will be saved.

Any affection is poured out, no hope shines beyond them. Despite that, only despair is equally important.

This is also exploited for humankind, but the humanity does not include themselves.

Are we like foreign bodies in this world?

The only exception was Undead. Even though he helped the Plutos in a literally unscrupulous act, it was the best affection he had ever received.

If you can get close to such beings, you'll be happy ... no, death is fortunate.

"But I can't just die, because I'll throw away the life that she gave me.

So fight hard and kill the Bravers who killed him. ''

"That's why we welcomed Murakami, and I hate everyone except Jack and Gaiser."

As Jack puts it, he invited former Bravers, Tatsu Murakami, to the Eighth Guidance to encourage the conflict between Amamiya Hiroto and Bravers.

There's nothing behind it, it's a complicated, big conspiracy, nothing like that.

The strategy was to increase as many as one alone.

"Jack is a good friend with Gaiser. What do you do? He misses out?"

Shade wondered if he couldn't overlook a woman who wasn't directly involved in Undead, a half-dead woman before Pluto regenerated dead brain cells.

Anyway, if you leave it alone, considering that suicidal desire, you will be arbitrarily tying up your neck or cutting your wrist.

But Jack shook his head.

"Jack is bad. I want to die with Gaiser, I guess he will like it. Forgive me."

However, Jack is close to Gaiser, so she wants to die with her.

"That's right, let's take it away, but I'll tell you not to commit suicide until then."

"Yeah, I understand! I'll tell you not to cut your wrist anymore!"

Jack once said that before ... Gaiser has attempted suicide ten times yesterday. Conversely, Plutos are impressed that they don't really die.

"Isn't it a substitute, but a boss? Did you check with Enma?"

"Yes. Even the person himself. The substitute was dead in a struggle three months ago."

"Well, let's go home. Watch out for souvenirs at" Ereshkigal ", who is away from home."

"Isn't the prosciutto in the refrigerator good?"

The last day of "Eighth Guidance" was approaching.

"At that time, I know if that dream is just a dream or a dream. Oh, I'm looking forward to it."
