The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 121: The Midnight Meaty Customer
"It" panicked as soon as consciousness grew.
I didn't know what my condition was, where I was, or what I was in the first place.
(I, I, I, Jack ... Which one are you?)
If you try to start moving with confusion, you can't move as expected.
(What ???????????) why?
"It", which has become worse from confusion to confusion, begins to move the body in a mess. One of them was touching something silver in time.
When I touched it, mysteriously, "it" felt peace and satisfaction and happiness.
(Yes, I, I'm a guru .... I don't care.)
In that euphoria, it abandoned its analysis of self. Abandon both integration and separation.
It recognizes that the current state is normal for "it".
More than that, "It" wanted to move faster.
"'Ooo ..."
Because this is where it dreamed. It's the place I wanted in that dream to go more than any paradise.
(Soon, to him!)
Driven by a crazy urge, “It”, which was called a meat chunk, came up in the air and disappeared the next moment.
"Vandaloo, get up. It's still night, but the customer! "
Vandalu, awakened by the spirit of Darussia, a mother dwelling in a small bone fragment, wakes up.
"Are you a customer?"
Although it is hard to say that he is a normal boy, he is still a nine-year-old child. For this reason, a longer sleep time is ensured during normal times.
Everyone knew it, so there should be nobody to visit at midnight unless it was an emergency, but as he leaned his head and looked around, he noticed Darussia's "customer" and was stiff.
That's because it's the weirdest form of life ever.
"It" was floating in the air, and was generally spherical in shape.
It was just an unusual appearance, with the innumerable limbs, torso, head and beast's heads being mixed together, intertwining a shape close to a sphere.
The color is flesh rather than pink, and the skin and hair appear to have no eyeballs.
There are many female parts as a whole, some male parts, some animal parts.
In other words, it's like "a sphere about 3 meters in diameter made by a crazy artist knitting several dolls made of flesh-colored clay."
If this royal castle was not originally from a giant nation of up to three meters if it was a large man, it would have been stuck on the ceiling.
Vandalu asked, with a face with no eyeballs and no contours of "it".
"Good morning. Sorry, who would you like?"
Surprised at first, he quickly got used to it. He adds his own head and limbs, and is similar to a zombie giant made by combining multiple corpses. I thought it wasn't surprising when compared with the "Sludge and the Evil God of Tentacles", Melebebeil, whose tentacles were bundled together to mimic the shape of a scylla.
"[" Oh ...!
However, when asked, "it" floats in the air, stiffens for a while, then makes a tear-like mouth in the face with only the outline and makes a grievous expression dexterous.
He expresses his emotions by holding his head with a number of arms, swinging his legs flapping, and twisting his torso.
Apparently it was hurt.
"Vandaloo, I'm wondering if I'll call her or those kids, but they seem to love you. I just met you a moment ago ... "
"Did you say?"
"Yeah, I just said, oh, but it was like that."
"So that's it"
Vandalou believed that Darcy's translator, who relied solely on feeling, was the basis. Because it is what my mother says.
Also, because I realized what it was, I thought it would be ok to communicate with Darussia.
"The body is like a chunk of meat, but did you stay inside? Did it happen? Hm, I don't know. It seems that my soul has taken root."
Originally, a meat chunk that was a failure to make a body of Darussia with a resuscitation device that is a heritage of Vida. Something inhabited it is "it" in front of him.
Given that, Darussia and "it" may be like identical twins.
The problem, however, is what dwelled.
"'Oh ... oh ..."
A soul dwelling in the soaring "it". It is unlikely that the meat chunks were naturally occurring because they were creatures without souls.
It is possible that the spirits floating around Vandalu have entered without permission, but that is not the case. The number of spirits has not diminished, and if it were possible, it would have happened earlier. Meat chunks have been around for over a year.
So who is he?
Vandalu, who thought so, interrupted it with the voice of Darussia.
"That's no good! Never leave a girl crying!
He has been scolded for leaving his lamenting meat chunks alone.
It was not unquestionable whether the meat chunk could be classified as a girl. It is true, however, that people who favor themselves are hurt and neglected.
(Can analysis be postponed?)
Vandaloo got off the bed and talked to it.
"I'm sorry to say the cold thing. I didn't mean to make me sad.
If you like, would you please make me a friend? "
I apologize and give my hand. Then, "it" stopped moving once while floating in the air, and became rigid. At the next moment, a number of arms and legs stretched out, swallowing hands, and embraced Vandaloo as if to be entwined.
Depending on how you look, you may think you are about to be predated.
"'Oh, oh oh'"
"I'm glad I could make up for it"
But I know that it has no hostility. Vandalou, who was hugged, did not remember his pain.
(As a whole, it's a punyuchi, and depending on where you are, you feel embraced and your body temperature is slightly lower?)
Rodcorte stared at the injured hand with unbelievable words.
In their hands, there should have been a reincarnation [Gaiser] Hitomi Minuma and the soul of a member of the Eighth Guidance, which was intended to be used as a hostage against Vandaloo.
It was disturbed by the god of Origin, Lambda's Zurwan, the God of Space and Creation, and Rikurent, the Genie of Time and Art.
The wounds that Lodcorte suffered from Zuluwan are just scuffs. It is a small wound that heals during this process.
However, Rodcorte has never been attacked by other deities. He who is away from each world and in charge of reincarnation only came not only with the humans of each world but also with the gods and the hostile beings.
Therefore, Rhodocorte is not immune to pain or violence. That's why I inadvertently got scared and deprived the [Gaisers] of their souls, but it wasn't the shock that was upsetting Rodcorte right now.
"Why Zuluwan and Rikurent are my obstacles to the Origin God? No, they're Vandaloo's ally?
When the Zuluwans ask, they may be surprised, "Do you have any awareness?", But Lodcorte was really surprised.
He himself, and still was, only going to put his work first in his territory.
The exception is that they sent incarnates from different worlds, but Vandalu himself is one of them. Rodcorte believed that there was no reason for the Zuluwan to be on his side.
"But what's the hindrance of the Zuluwan? Probably the one who moved the Origin God. The god of the origin is a group god that branches into countless deities like the god of the earth. It is impossible to move for one and only one purpose, except when the world survives. "
In the past, when summoning a hero from the different world "Earth", Zuluwan first negotiated with the earth god. no doubt.
But even with experience, it wouldn't have been easier to negotiate without recovering from the damage inflicted in the battle with the Demon King.
It turns out that Zuluwan had been moving for quite some time. At least, they had been negotiating for years.
"When did Zuluwan notice that Lambda's gods had Vandalu? No, why are they trying to oppose my obstruction ...?
For Rodcorte, the Lambda gods would have been asleep except Aruda, the Holy God. Although it was two pillars, it was surprising that it was moving actively, but it was even more surprising to be hostile.
This is because there is nothing to gain from opposing Rhodocorte.
He does not intend to invade Lambda, unlike the Demon King, and does not want to be ruined. On the contrary, we want development. In that sense, in a broad sense, it can be called an ally.
In fact, they are still trying to send incarnates and encourage their development.
And when Rhodocorte is defeated, all you get is the suspension of the reincarnation system that controls the souls of the lambda humans.
Eventually, Lambda will become a world where only the new race of Vida can survive, with monsters rampaging.
Is that the aim?
"Well, did Zuluwan choose her reincarnation system that Vida created over my reincarnation system? So are races, elves, and dwarves all playing the role of Vandalu who leads the Vida reincarnation system!
Rhodocorte, who never thought that there was a big god who was on Vida's side, other than Zantak, who had fused with the evil god, was surprised at his own guess and was convinced. If that is possible.
And I felt a strong sense of crisis. If a Vida reincarnation system is chosen throughout Lambda and his system loses ground, Rhodocorte loses one source of power.
The problem doesn't stop there. If Vida revived and succeeded in improving the completeness of the Vida reincarnation system, Zuluwan might teach the origin god how to imitate the system.
I don't know how Zuluwan negotiated the deal, but it's clear that the Origin God has a reluctance to Lodcorte because of his cooperation. If the separation is great, it will change the reincarnation system.
The move may spread beyond lambdas and origins.
It is a matter of life and death for Rhodocorte, who has no followers and is not recognized by humans from all over the world.
If the world who chooses the Vida reincarnation system increases, at the worst, Rhodcorte will not be able to fall into a monster, a fairy, or a demon like other defeated gods, and will disappear like a haze.
There is no problem if one or two. All you have to do is look for the world that has just been born and gain the right to control the reincarnation of that world. But the world is not born so often and does not guarantee the right to reincarnate.
"Before that is the case, Vandalu must be dead!
"... No, that's why I only have that conclusion. This boss, thinking is too rigid. "
"If I apologize and ask not to spread the Vida reincarnation system to other worlds, Origin and Lambda will give up."
"If you can't afford to lose anything, you'll go to an irreparable place. I agree with them. "
When Lodcorte, who came to a conclusion, lowered his gaze, there was Aran Machida of [Operation] and Izumi Shimada of [Inspector] who sublimated to his angel. And Mao Smith of [Noah] who was near them.
There were more than a dozen other reincarnates who died just before. They have already been taught what the third life is waiting for in a way that “transmits information instantly”.
"You guys ... I'm your angel because I'm your angel"
When Rodcorte says she wants a little sense of crisis, Izumi and Aran just stare back at one another.
Since it is inevitable, Rhodocorte looks around the reincarnated people, including Mao.
"... I've died so much at once"
The reincarnated people were divided into frowning like Tendo and Goya, or distractingly looking away like Murakami.
He didn't die because he wanted to die, but he seemed to have a hard time coming out of Rodcorte, who gave him life and power.
"And it seems like you had a deep confrontation with your thoughts. It's still like a tutorial before the actual production ...
However, it seems that the reincarnated people did not overlook the word.
"Tell me from the beginning!
"That's right! If we knew there was a next, we didn't do that!
[Kronos] Junpei Murakami and [Venus] Kanako Tsuchiya protest. Some reincarnations look at them in a foolish glance, "How are you?", But there is no sign that they have moved.
Both seem tough mentally.
"I agree"
The one who said so was [Mage Smasher] Sanba Sanoh, who had been arguing with Junpei Murakami before. It seems that even if they beat each other because they have no body, they have no effect beyond "I feel painful", but they seemed to have been unable to settle on their belly.
Until Murakami died and came to the territory of Rhodocorte, he would have spoken again to join forces.
"Life is important for humans. Also, once I was reincarnated, it wasn't as good as the next.
It is right to live desperately if your life is only one life. …… They were aiming in the wrong direction. ”
Glance at Murakami and Kanako and add that.
[Oracle] Koya Enfuji also followed him.
"Acquire experience in this life to prepare for the next world. I do not say that no one lives for that purpose. But we are not. Dreams and goals that you want to fulfill in your second life, and you are desperate for that. To that end, there are conflicting opinions, and sometimes the road may be divided.
It's something I noticed after the second time. "
In other words, he didn't say it was a tutorial, so he hoped he was desperate to take advantage of his second chance.
"HM……"
That being said, it might have been a failure to keep silent for a third life.
In fact, there is no such thing as reincarnation while retaining the memory and personality of the previous life. At least this is the only thing that Rodcorte has done.
There may be cases where an error occurs in the reincarnation reincarnation system, resulting in a bug that inadvertently reincarnates while retaining the memory and personality of the previous life, but this is not possible with a well-managed Rhodcorte system. . …… Vandaloo is causing significant system disruption, but nothing has happened so far.
If so, isn't it reasonable to say that you will desperately live your second life?
Even so, I think most of them are acquaintances who lived in the same school with a common background, but I never heard of that in Rodcorte.
He is the god of reincarnation. Humans can be connected to others with surprisingly strong bonds, but they know that they are creatures that betray and kill others for surprising reasons.
And one of the reasons why 100 people were reincarnated was that 10 to 20 percent died by striking each other, or were destroyed by the same reincarnated people and local people like Kanata Kaito who fell and drowned in power. There was a reason that there would be no problem.
However, it is not the stage where the reincarnation will be told that there is already a third time.
"So, do you think it's better to tell me that there is a third time from now?
When he asked the question while he knew the answer, the answer was Junpei Murakami of [Kronos].
"No, not yet. I think if I tell you it will be worse "
"What do you mean, fucking teacher? Everyone doesn't know that there is a third time, so this is what happens. '
"That's okay, but stop the teacher. Sure, as you said, if I knew it was my third time, I wouldn't betray and increase my enemies in the next life.
But that's all you need to know from the beginning. '
"Oh? Speak clearly ”
"... I want to say it's too late, teachers."
[Marionette], who is still in a triangle sitting position, answered Inui.
"If you know that Bravers is the third time, why not try to live with more dignity and fairness? I'm not going to see anyone who imitates me or Kanata. If you can be reincarnated again and know that [Inspector] will be inspected after dying as an angel, you can't do anything bad unless you abandon yourself a bit. "
If you do bad things during your lifetime, you may not be dropped by gods, but you may be killed by other incarnators who are waiting for you at the moment of your rebirth. No, as a punishment, they may be reincarnated as meat animals or carriages while retaining their memory and personality.
Reincarnating a livestock in the human sense is a more terrible punishment than falling into hell.
In fact, the incarcerated inhabitants' parents on the earth seem to have been incarnated as land turtles, so it is considered a good punishment.
"But if you tell Rokudo Seiji and those who cooperate there, do you think it will stop now? Draw a thread on the back and brainwash [Metamol], kill me and teachers, researchers of the United States Department of Defense as well as death attribute researchers, and betray Amemiya et al.
"Sorry ... it seems impossible to convert"
They all know what they've done so far. When you hear that, Rikudo Saints will give up and change their actions ... nothing will happen.
And the Saint's allies include Origin political and business tycoons. I can't explain to them what reincarnation is.
If I told him there was a third time, it was more likely that his actions would be sharper than before.
"That's why. Therefore, it is no longer possible to teach the remaining reincarnations of Origin about reincarnation to Lambda.
Of course, the immortality, etc. that Rokudo St. aims for is inconvenient for me. I want you to switch consciousness to reincarnation to Lambda, so take some steps. ''
"Ok, God. So what punishment are we waiting for?
Murakami, who is ready now, visits, but Rodcorte asks a question.
"……punishment? What is that?
I don't know why you might be asked such a thing. Izumi and Aran murmured, "I'm sure," responding to Rodcorte's reaction, and Murakami and Aso, who had an intense quarrel with him, were confused.
"No, did you see it? What we did. And I was the one who killed your angels directly?
Murakami was ecstatic to Amamiya Hiroto, but he told himself that he didn't need to hide it to anyone who knew everything. Some victims have killed themselves, but they are ignored.
"What happened?
"No, how about ..."
Rhodocorte, who seems to have never been guilty of committing the wrongs he has committed, becomes more confused by Murakami.
Rhodocorte, who knows what he is thinking of, is the beginning of the sanctuary and begins to explain the language somewhat.
"I'm not an origin judicial person. Therefore, we do not intend to blame the crimes you committed at the origin. In the first place, the law is something that human beings determine in order to rule humans. I, God, have nothing to do.
What if you killed a person and punished each time, what do you do with the mass killers that would appear every time a war broke out on Earth or on the Origin?
Rhodocorte is a reincarnation ... A god who controls only reincarnation. Usually no reward is given to any good person and no bad person is punished. It simply greets the souls of the dead, puts them on the system immediately, and reincarnates them.
"And incarcerated people are similar in terms of killings. There are many Sanba light yellows in particular. "
Saki, who was suddenly named, argued with a surprise.
"Wait a minute! I don't remember killing anyone but terrorists and dangerous criminals! I didn't kill them!
"Terrorists and dangerous criminals are just people to me."
Responding to that, Amber shut down with his face twitching. Aran further explains to his colleagues, including him.
"Everybody is Rhodocorte ... For God, good and bad are just humans. Whatever the motive and background, killing is nothing but killing. It's the same murder that we kill terrorists to protect the masses, the crimes of serial killers, and the soldiers kill enemy soldiers to protect the country. '
Aran believes that murder can be good in some cases. In response to his idea, Rodcorte's values that "the act of losing life is just a killing regardless of motive, because there is no preciousness in life" seem to seem to value life at first glance, In fact, it is the worst value for humans.
Because, in the case of Rhodocorte, human goodness and malignancy are equally indifferent and have no value in life itself. But if you are born and live and die, that's fine. Because I think so.
"If you try to make every life annihilated by all means, I think it's a problem. That's about it.
He doesn't seem to blame for killing our reincarnation. ...... Of course, I don't allow it personally. "
Izumi's words, supplementing the explanation of Aran, said that Murakami, who found that Rodcorte was not really punishing himself, exclaimed, "Okay, that's fine."
The fact that he was glared at the fountain and looked at the cold eyes of the Sub-Aran may not have felt the guilt from the beginning.
"Then, is the problem after reborn? Sao, Konoe, if I don't like it, will they kill each other after being reborn?
"If you do something that is not good again"
"No wonder! If you see it in the afterlife, I will kill you with my [Death Size] immediately!
"No, that's a problem"
It was Murakami and Asakusa who immediately turned their consciousness to the next world, but Lodcorte, who was indifferent at Origin, stopped.
"Unlike Origins, my goal is to reincarnate you and develop Lambda. I don't want to reduce the number of people fighting each other.
And you have something to ask for. '
"I mentioned earlier, is Vandalu killing him? We're not killers'
`` You can't seem to care unless you try to exterminate all living beings, but it's not a terrible story to kill someone who says 'If you don't get rid of them' ''
"If you ask me, I'll kill you at my [Death Size]. So don't bother killing this fucking teacher!
Izumi and Aran briefly explain to reincarnated people who are not very reluctant
"The same reincarnated person who died first. Murakami-sensei's class, I and my classmate Sanba.
When the ferry sank, Hiroto Amamiya fell to the sea instead of helping Narumi. "
"The name at the origin is" Undead. " It's the one who helped and helped the "Eighth Guidance", where the Hiroto confronted you and killed each other until a while ago. "
The reincarnates were uniformly stiff in their account and understood their meaning and twitched their faces.
