The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

There is also a light source in what appears to be a secret base, but it is a lot weaker and dimmer than the magical light.

It must be because of that. Niki boy holds his knee at the wall and looks dazzled at this one.

Sit back and don't move, but it doesn't look like you're suffering.

"I'm glad you seem safe. Are you hurt?"

"... it's okay"

"Really?"

"Ugh... I twisted my leg when I ran away, but I can't even walk..."

"Right."

“When you run away," you mean Goblin chased you into this place.

"Can you give me a twisted leg? Because I can use healing magic for once."

Goblins have already been exorcised, and we should treat them and go home.

If he continues to do so, he stiffens his body for a moment and pulls in the right leg he was about to leave.

"... no..."

"What?"

"I don't want to go home"

"Lyo...... you!... of!?

Niki boy whined in a fine voice, as I remembered something.

Almost at the same time as that voice, I heard Mr. Singh difficult to hear from behind.

I don't want to go home...... no matter how I deal with it, I'll contact everyone at the pier in Sikum first.

"'Whisper'...... can you guys hear me? It's Lyoma. We use wind magic to send our voices from here because we find it hard to hear each other.

"Honey, listen...... here we go!!

"I'm glad you seem to be hearing me. Then here's an explanation of the status quo, Niki. I discovered you. From what I've seen, he's fine, and he doesn't seem to be hurt. Just..."

Explain the situation and you'll hear voices from the outside again.

Now apparently you're all speaking up... but you're mixed up and have an extra hard voice to hear. Still, I can somehow feel the call to Niki to come out at the tone of her voice.

And the call seemed counterproductive.

"Shut up! Shut up, shut up!! No matter what anyone says, I'm never going home! If you don't believe me anyway, there's no point in talking!

Niki, who roughs up her voice to resist a strong calling voice, but her face is nagging, and her voice keeps crying.

... This place is narrow and there's no escape, and it's easy to hold Niki back on you in this place. Throw it into the Dimension Home and have it temporarily detained in Slime, and hand it over to your parents in the village and the missing disturbance will subside.

Nevertheless, in that way, he would surely repeat the same thing as he does now in his parents.

If you built such a secret base yourself, I think you're a pretty capable kid.

Maybe I'll decide to run away from home a second time.

"... Excuse me, gentlemen. I'd like to talk to you calmly for a moment, so could you wait?

Maybe it's a favor, but I'll try to convince myself, so I ask the five people on the ground to wait a little longer.

Then I guess I talked to him upstairs. After a while, I got a copy from the leader, Mr. Singh.

Thank you, now I'm approaching Niki Boy.

"I got a little time, shall we calm down? Speaking of which, Niki, did you make this by yourself? Wow."

This secret base was surprisingly spacious inside the secret base, although it was the entrance that was narrow enough to crawl through. Rub without rubbing your critical head when you get up.

Probably...... scratched out the mud that was entering the gap in the roots of the trees, plus cut out some roots to create space. And it prevents mud influx while stretching and reinforcing the cut roots and branched leaves brought in from the outside between the still living roots.

The absurdity stands out, Niki, but at your age, without magic, it should be quite a big job.

"I used to make places like this in the woods, but..."

"Ugh... you can flatter me. By and large, you're not here to talk about it."

"- Right."

I failed to grab it.

I honestly think it's amazing that I made this place...

"Then let's get straight to it."

"Oh, my God, you're telling me to go home, too, aren't you? I was just telling you."

"No, before that, I wanted to talk to you"

"He wants to talk... so you're talking about going home, right?

"I'm not, Niki, yours. Look, you were screaming," If you don't believe me anyway, there's no point in talking! "You got something to say to me, don't you?

I said what I wanted to say and said it in anticipation of being out of gas, but his reaction to it was beyond my expectations.

He didn't look me in the eye. He jumped his head up and looked at me.

Immediately after that, he's probably a surprisingly honest kid around looking away like a hack.

"Why are you asking that?"

"If you ask me why, does that mean it's on a whim?

Honestly, I know very little about you, but I came all the way here looking for you. The boat you boarded, you know... in the meantime, if you want to say something, I want to hear it. Exactly to the end. I think we can be more comfortable with each other. "

"... but you heard me making a fool of myself"

I did hear that... Hmm?

By saying that at this time... he correctly recognises the surrounding assessment that he is famous for his flirtatious kid. On top of that, I just said "don't believe me"...

Think that far and remember what you heard in the village.

“I promise not to flirt with anyone but the villagers."

“Niki boy always kept his bare promises”

“That's why I was usually allowed to have one fist bone and a sermon”

Thinking about it all together...... could it have been the wrong premise?

"Maybe at first you said," I didn't mean to flirt "?"

A reaction that makes me wonder if I should say... this doesn't seem wrong.

"I'm sorry if that's the case, but until just now I thought the noon one was a bummer, too. But while I was looking for you, I heard a lot about you, and I was curious."

He's a flirtatious kid, but the least I could do was keep my word.

Then why, only this time, did you play tricks on people (me) other than banned villagers? and.

But if you think, "That flirtation wasn't really flirtatious," you can solve the question.

Besides, if you recall the exchanges we had back then,

I'll give you this!

That's what he has said and thrown Octa.

"Taking that word honestly, Niki, you just tried to give me that octa. You just got inked when you threw it over, didn't you?

I don't know why you gave me the octa... but what do you think?

Ask him as calmly as you can as you line up your guesses, and he starts talking pompous in silence.

"During the day...... I saw a slime on the beach. I've had a lot going on, and I've been acting weird.... but I thought it was awesome."

Were you looking at me? And you thought it was awesome? Right...... he may have quite a sight. But now it's time to listen.

"So... I'm a little interested. I wanted to talk to you. But he's a stranger... and when a new guy came to the village, I remembered my mom was getting it. Temiyage, right? He said he'd go say hi with something."

"Uh, I see. Is that what you mean? Was it a souvenir... but why did you choose octopus, no octopus?"

"I thought you liked it similar to slime. It was like your brother's slime, Octa's leg."

"Hey, Rudoka."

I laughed a little.

I didn't know that was the reason.

But sure, if you ask me, they're both soft, bumpy bodies.

My slime stretches out my body and tentacles out, and when it comes to similarity, it may be similar.

"I'm so refreshed to get rid of your doubts. Thanks.

So, Niki, they think you made a fool of yourself, and you're pissed off. So that's why. "

When I say that, he looks like a bad guy.

"I'm sorry I got away with inking my brother. So did I throw Octa, but the flirtatious habit I always did... well, that's why I can't say I didn't do anything wrong... so I was properly pissed off at first, but... but!

"Oh...... not good, but calm down. Because I'm listening..."

Niki, you seem to have remembered how you felt when you got angry, and you made me cry.

Take the cup and water out of the item box and give it to them, listening with guts while nagging.

Because it is a crying explanation, it does not even rupture, but sometimes I don't understand the connection of the story. I connected that in my brain and guessed...

Apparently he has been pressured into committing a wrongful crime by a child in the village before.

That means I broke a snack prepared by an old man for a child, and the killer is another child.

The kid was also the result of an accident, not intentionally, but Niki, who has been a jerk since that time for fear of getting angry, said he tried to convict you.

At that time, Niki, you were temporarily accused, but at that time the old man of the village and his parents sheltered him.

My son wouldn't do this, Niki believed in your appeal.

And the case will be settled later with the real killer named...

At the time of the incident, he was told by an adult, "You can put your chest up and tell me you didn't do what you really didn't do”.

And most of all... he saw an adult who made a good decision and believed wholeheartedly that “if we're honest, adults will understand”.

I believed...

"You didn't this time, did you?"

"It is. I didn't mean to, but, you know, don't make excuses! I started yelling at him and he barely listened to me... and I didn't like it so many times... and when I realized I was running..."

"Did you?"

I couldn't get him to listen to me and ran out impulsively.

When I was a kid, I remember you, too, and it's not a story I don't get.

But don't think you should go home and talk to him properly.

"So what are you gonna do with it? This is what happened because you couldn't talk to me. If you're gonna talk to me and listen to me, why didn't you have lunch?"

"Surely the noon might not have worked. But again, why don't we just calm down and talk to each other? Now I'll cooperate. [M] Right... if you're gonna drop your fist bones without listening to me, I'll stop you."

"Your brother?

"I'm still an adventurer. I'm going to be pretty strong and sturdy, and I think I can physically protect you.

Your parents and villagers are angry in the first place because they're worried about you. We're the ones who came here, but a lot of other people were talking about looking all over the village and looking for the woods because they weren't anywhere. So if we both calm down, we can talk properly. "

"Really?

It is an indisputable fact that you were all worried about him.

"Otherwise, Niki, I wouldn't be mad at you or looking for you."

It would be offensive to be angry, it would be normal to feel disgusted.

You can say whatever you want about the angry side. You'll feel good, how beautiful you've been.

But when people get angry, they use their strength unexpectedly, and they get awkward with their opponents. Sometimes they hate me.

Actually, there's no benefit to the angry side, I think.

So I wouldn't waste that on someone I don't care about from the bottom of my heart.

There is the phrase "wrathful inner is the flower" or “said inner is the flower” but that is exactly it.

"... I get it. Return."

Niki said she was reluctant to look at you, but when she came home clearly. [M]

I'm surprised you were unexpectedly able to convince me so much... but no, I was telling myself it was bad that you ran away with me all inked up. He was just impulsively rushing out and then losing the time to go back, maybe he's actually an honest, pure kid.

"Brother?"

"Oh, oh."

Whatever it was, he was willing to go home.

"You said you twisted your leg, right? Let's cure it and then go outside. Get your legs out."

Looking at the condition of the extended right leg, it is slightly swollen but not abnormal in the bone.

Injuries healed well enough with initial heels.

Fast magic and contact with persuasion success outside with wind magic.

"Okay. Well, I'd like to explain the details, and I'll go ahead and wait for you."

The entrance and exit are narrow and only accessible to one person at a time.

Niki left the secret base one foot away, believing that you would come out later on your own feet.
