I've always wondered.

The people eaten by Trent are deprived of their existence.

From the memories of others, from the memories of people, as if they had not been there from the beginning, their existence is uprooted.

- So where does that stolen memory go?

Absorbed and extinguished by Trent as a nutrient?

Or stay inside Trent?

No, I just figured it out. I can't help it.

Because if you take it away, you won't even wake up with the 'awareness that it's taken away'.

If you make it disappear, it won't be remembered by anyone.

Without grieving anyone, without wondering who, without caring who, the world's gear keeps turning.

That's the trait of a monster called Trent.

The worst self-defense features that monsters, known as' the weakest 'of all monsters, have evolved and worn to survive.

But there are 'exceptions' to everything.

Yeah, for example.

If the memories that should have been taken show up in front of the person who took them, with the 'flesh' that would not have been possible -.

"- bitterness i... help te, father..."

"You, wish i... kill shite..."

That was just a nightmarish sight.

The face that surfaced on some of the "Toyota Egg Rai" - it was the face of Goshogawara's beloved wife and daughter.

"Nah... ah...?

Goshogawara stares at the sight.

What is this? What the hell is going on?

At that moment, my beloved wife and daughter's face, my voice, faded memories come back to life.

Goshogawara nodded his head on the spot at the wave of memories pushing him like a turbulent stream.

"Giggy!"

With all the gaps, another "Rich Eating Rye" launches an attack.

Tongue stretching like a whip.

It was Shibata who was near him.

"Old man!

Don! and hit the momentum well, rolling down the ground with Goshogawara as it were and dodging the attack.

"You idiot! Are you going to die? What a mess!

"Ah... oh, I'm sorry..."

Even if Shibata yells at me, Gozokawahara replies with a body such as his heart is not here.

"What the hell is wrong with you..."

"... my wife"

"Ah?"

"My wife and daughter... they were there."

"... what?

Goshogawara pointed to the 'Toyoshi Egg Rai' in front of him,

"My wife, Midori... my daughter, Satsuki, is over there... she looks painfully begging me for help...!

"Say what... say...?

Surprised, looking back Shibata.

"People's... faces?

There, indeed, as Goshogawara put it, the faces of the two women were groaning bitterly.

As incredible as it sounds, he unconsciously shakes his head to the side.

But the next moment, he ate his teeth too much.

"To, it's fake!

That's what he shouted.

"Don't be fooled, old man! That's - I'm sure it's that fake!

"Shibata-kun..."

"I'm sorry to hear that, Peony! We're so stupid that we're fooled by such a tiny crop. Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Shibata thus throws the spear in his hand into the "Toyoshi Egg Rai" in front of him.

Eat that venom if you get close to the detour. That's why it was a throw.

His thrown spear hit Goshogawara's wife's 'face' so that it could be sucked in.

"" "Igyayyyyyyyyyyy!

"I don't like it... it hurts... aaaaaaa...!

"... yamete, con no... yadah..."

Countless open mouths scream.

And a woman pierced through her face shed tears of blood, and the girl next door's face raised a voice of sorrow.

That didn't look very much like a crop to me.

"What are you doing, Shibata-kun! My wife! Midori!

"Wake up, old man! That's it! Does that look alive to you?

"- Yes, but..."

"There's no way I'm alive... it's decided to be a fake to confuse you like that -"

"- Shivata..."

'Another voice' echoed in their ears, blocking Shibata's voice.

"Help Te... Shibata..."

"Suffering no... Shiva Tian ah..."

"Ah...?

That's a voice emanating from another 'richly eaten ray'.

If you look at that individual, isn't there a new 'face' floating around there?

The faces of the boys from still young high school.

On that face, Shibata looked familiar.

You can't forget.

"Sato...? And to the Valley River in the wind..."

Because they were once 'abandoned' people.

When they were still based at the home center, Shibata came to the mall with his buddies for food.

So they encountered High Oak, and only Shibata survived.

"Why...? I... I haven't forgotten, have I? Remember you guys all the time..."

He wouldn't have understood the confusion.

Trent doesn't just eat other living organisms.

The corpse is similarly nourished.

Nishino once questioned survivors that the number of bodies was too small, but the answer was also Trent. Trent nourishes corpses as well. Unlike the living, the dead are not deprived of their memories. That's just the difference.

"Shibata... no bitterness... help te..."

"Stop... stop..."

Don't look at me like that.

Shibata falls behind unconsciously. Hiccups and eyelids spasms, repeating shallow breaths.

"No... I didn't abandon you guys..."

Upon encountering an unrivaled monster, he chose to bring the 'information' back under his people.

That would have been a very correct decision to make, objectively speaking.

In fact, there was no one to blame for Nishino or Roppo.

But for him, the fact that he abandoned his people and fled alone remained unchanged. It kept on in his mind that no matter how big a name, it was a sin that could never be atoned for.

Just like Gozokawahara, he was also caught in the past - with his legs tangled up by the dead.

"Huh...! I'm kidding... I'm not kidding! This......! So this is what's happening!

Shibata screams with all her throat ripped open.

He grabbed his fist and tried to beat me to the "Toyota Egg Rai" in front of him.

I guess his heart wouldn't have endured if he hadn't.

Even though he knew he was going to eat the poison, he was still desperate to shake off the nightmare in front of him.

"Gee gee gee gee gee"

Such a look at him, "Toyota Egg Rai" just grins that he has been waiting.

Bellon and his tongue stretched out and his mouth wide open.

But at that moment...

"- 'Don't move'!

"Toyota Egg Rai" 's body becomes stiff.

"Nooooooooooooooooooo!

"- Giggle!?"

And the delay. For a few moments, "Toyota Eating Rye" blew up with the shock.

"Shibata! We're too far ahead! Go back!"

"Are you okay? You're blue-faced, Chai Chi"

"Ah..."

It was Nishino and Roppo who saved his predicament.

"Rokka, how's the weapon?

"Uh, you can't do this. The blow's already melted."

Rokka throws down a bat in her hand.

Probably took a full swing of 'Toyota Egg Rye' at Arr.

Still ridiculous physical ability.

"Just get up, Shibata"

"Nishino-san... Me"

"... I know what you're trying to say. But I told you before, didn't I? If you feel sorry for them, think about surviving at all."

……

"I'm not telling you not to drag people to death. I've regretted it many times. If I could start over, I'd have thought of something. But, you know, that's impossible. This isn't a game, it's reality. If he dies... what's that far? There's never going to be a resurrection."

……

"I'm not saying we split people's deaths. But I have to get over it. You know what I mean, Shibata?

"... nagging"

"Neither is Goshokawahara. I'm sorry to hear about your wife and daughter. But..."

"I know..."

As he leans down, Goshogawara grips the soil.

"I don't know... I'm here"

Still get up, wet your tears with your sleeves, and breathe heavily.

"I'm sorry. You've shown me a bit of nonsense."

"No, that's not true"

"It's okay now."

……

I knew right away that I was strong.

But I wasn't willing to point that out.

So instead Nishino lines up beside him and turns forward.

"Let's survive, be sure"

I won't let you die.

Something that will definitely make you die.

Let Rokkawa, Shibata, and Goshogawara survive without missing anyone.

That night - because that's when I vomited my weakness, that's how determined I was.

- Zaza. - Accepted. Zaza.

- Skill resonance is Zaza. - Activate Zaza. - To all Nbar. - Zaza.

……

What is it?

Now, for a moment, I thought I heard something like noise in my head.

But not if you care about something like that.

Nishino breathes softly and absurds his voice.

"Everybody, get in the mood! We're almost there to reset! We'll definitely survive this!

"" "" Got it!

They rise again.

Until 'Safe Zone' is reset - thirty-five minutes left.

Meanwhile, around that time,

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

A crowd of tongues and tentacles approaching countless times.

Create walls with item boxes in all directions.

The time you can earn is for a moment.

But in that moment, the 'shadow' at his feet spread, enveloping us.

"Wow!

"Sorry Momo, that was helpful!

When my vision cleared up again, it was right near the shopping mall.

Momo protected us in Shadow Crossing.

Nevertheless, this is still within Peonie's territory.

You will soon be noticed.

I have to think about my next hand quickly.

……

I look at Sola lying behind me.

His breath is rough and he looks painful.

Not good. I can't shoot the braces, then.

I can't believe you stabbed Peonie to a stop.

"Wow! Wow!"

"Momo......?

Unexpectedly, the momomo at my feet barked.

He looked angry somewhere.

Momo looks at me and Sola alternately and barks "wow" again.

"Hold on tighter!" and he stares at my face.

When I looked into his eyes, I finally realized how sweet I was.

"Right... right, Momo"

What if it wasn't for Sola's braces?

What are you talking about, stupid or me?

Are you a sweetheart who can't do anything without relying on one dragon of weight?

Change your mind, Kudokazuto.

Sola gave me a meal so far.

Then at the end of the day, we'll have to do our best.

"-" Shadow Cage ""

"Huh!? Humans! WHAT NOTSMORIDA!? '

"Rest in the 'shadows' for a while. And then we'll do something about it."

"What? - Wait..."

Sola sinks into the 'shadow'.

That's right. He stomped me this far with his weight.

Maybe he had a different thought from us there, but still, the time he spent with us the last three days is real.

Same as in Titan.

Just three days, a thin ice-like relationship until you defeat Peonie.

But still, yes.

"After all, I want to show my birth child what a healthy mother looks like..."

Oh, my God.

I seem to be more emotional about Sola than I thought.

To the extent that we want to live together, like Momo and Ichinose.

"Wow."

Momo lines up next door.

"Kew."

Kiki rides her shoulder.

"... (sighs)"

Aka simulated on her clothes trembles.

"Sorry, guys, hang out with me."

"Wow," "Kew," "... (sighs)!

Naturally! All in all, everyone replies.

Apparently we all feel the same way.

"Giggy!"

"Juta! Assocoda!"

"Food Wassero," "Eat Wassero"

"Giggle, giggle, giggle!"

I can hear the giant marimos.

Looks like they found us over there.

"Phew..."

Focus your consciousness.

It's all right.

Even without Sola, I have Momos.

Plus, there are skills I haven't used yet.

It's too risky, but hence that skill I've left behind so far.

This is the only way to approach Peony without Sora's fast flight at the earliest opportunity.

I activate that skill.

"-" Shadow imitation ""

That's just like "Shadow Cage," a skill acquired when he became a "pitch black player".

The 'shadow' at my feet creeps, eroding my body little by little.

Skill 'Shadow imitation' - its effect is called 'imitating the appearance of your defeated monster'

And monsters that can be imitated are limited to monsters close to their original appearance.

Under these conditions, there is only one single monster who can break through this situation.

"Please..."

"Shadow" covers my body and shapes the appearance of an integral beast.

That's traumatic for me.

Make it your first enemy, the fiercest monster with 'screaming' and unusual powers.

"Shadow imitation - type Rufen"

Change completes.

What was there was a high oak figure covered in pitch-black 'shadows'.

"Wow, wow!"

A growl reminiscent of the once high oak.

The atmosphere trembles and the earth cracks.

I feel the power build up all over my body.

"Come on, let's go"

Bend your knees and force your feet.

Dang! And I smashed the ground, and I jumped.
