The world's strongest hard worker

Episode 36: Goodbye to Cucumber

"Unfortunately, it's the only way for River to regain his power."

"Oh no... will the cucumber disappear...?"

"No, I can't take back my power at the expense of Cu...."

"Is that okay? If Kurt is not stopped here, the demon will gradually take over Kurt's body and complete his resurrection.As a result, many people will undoubtedly be sacrificed "

"... then, whatever you can do, you have to cut through all the power you can now and beat Kurt."

This was not the case once or twice.

Every time, I managed to cut through.

Even when I fought Manticore, I was shown an overwhelming difference in strength.

"Livel....."

"To be perfectly clear, it's almost impossible.Creating skills in the last resort, like in Manticore matches, is not the level to do anything about it.Different dimensions. "

"Damn it...!"

I was filled with remorse.

I know best that I'm close to zero without a chance of winning.

Honestly, that Kurt has a different dimension.

But I don't want to give up.

I don't want to lose Cu.

Aruji......

Cu comes before me and looks at us worriedly.

"It's okay, Cu. I'll feed you a lot of almonds when this battle is over."

I'm fine. And if they're going to be saved, "

"Cucu...?"

What the hell is he talking about...?

"No, that's not good! You're going to disappear...!"

"I'm just going back."

"... Cucu"

Anna murmured with tears in her eyes.

"It's okay. I'm not afraid of anything."

Cu's readiness was real.

In that case, my husband disqualified me from being lost forever.

"... I see. Cu... I'll thank you for your strength."

Yeah!

That's what Cu said and jumped at me.

When I stroked your head, it moved over your head as usual.

Until the end, Cu seemed to like it on my head.

"... Livel, of course I'm fine."

"Thank you, Anna. So... God, I'm ready."

"... no, I have one more thing to tell Livel.I can't stay in that world after defeating Kurt.Please be aware of that. "

You can't stay in the world...?

"... that means I'll disappear after I defeat Kurt?"

"Yes, that's what happens."

... that's what I was thinking.

I originally thought I could die to defeat Kurt.

I am already ready for that.

"Yeah, I don't mind. If that helps us all."

"─ ─ No!"

Anna screamed.

"... I'm sorry. I didn't like it when I thought about Livel disappearing.It's painful to be so close again, but far away again..... "

"Anna, I'm sorry."

"Yeah, I know I'm selfish... but I'm sorry... I honestly can't accept it."

Anna shook her shoulders and cried quietly, covering her face with her hands.

"Hahaha, that's right.Well then, I'm sorry at this timing, and it's so late, but don't let me respond at that time. "

"... reply?"

Apparently Anna didn't remember.

Then I'll remind you.

"─ ─ I love Anna the most in the world.You don't have to be strong. You don't have to be nice.I love Anna, who's a little weepy, a little hungry, and laughs a lot. "

That said, Anna hugged me with a big tear.

"I love Livel too....!I love you forever and ever...! "

I hugged Anna too.

"... yes, let me make one promise."

"What promise...?"

"Ah, more than a promise."

"Yeah... okay, say anything."

"Even if I disappear, I'll come back.Then marry me. "

"... yes... I'm happy...!"

Anna smiled tearfully.

Cucumber too!

Cu mixed up, and for a while, we hugged each other.

"... okay, God, sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's okay. Are you sure?"

"I'm fine."

Me too!

Cucumber, I want to eat more at the end

Almond.

Sounds like cucumber.

"I love you, Cu."

Yeah!

Can I use the Items Box here?

I was worried, but I was able to use it.

I wonder what kind of space this is...

I'll remove the almonds from the Item Box and feed them to Cucumber.

Ahmondo! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

When I look at Cu's smile, my goodbye becomes very sad.

I can bear to cry.

"Are you satisfied?"

God asks Cu.

Yeah! Cucumber's fine!

"Cui-chan...."

Anna looked at her healthy cue and hugged her in tears.

Cumming!

Cu behaves brightly without pessimism about her destiny.

Cu... you're a really good kid...

"Now I'm going to restore the power that Anna and Cu shared to Livel."

Warm light envelops the three of us.

With the light, Cu's body gradually becomes clear.

Cucu!

I screamed.

I thought it would be hard for Cu to cry.

That's why I decided not to cry.

When I saw Cu disappear, I couldn't.

Aruji-kun! Aruji-kun!

"Cumming...! Cumming...!"

Why do you cry so much?

I couldn't control it myself.

I could have endured as many other painful things as I could.

I couldn't bear to lose Cu.

Aaruji, Kurt's out of his mind!

"Oh, I promise... so don't worry...!"

Yeah! But I think so.This is not goodbye.I'll be reborn, just like you and Anna were reborn.That's why I'm sure there will be a time when I can be with Ji again somewhere! "

"That's right... cu"

So I'll see you later! Aruji!

That's what Cu said, laughing and disappearing.

"... goodbye."

That's how I murmured and wiped my tears with my arms.

I felt my heart beat faster.

I don't know that the momentum will stop.

Phew, phew, phew, phew.

... I feel my body being activated.

"Li, Livel... the color of my hair...!"

"Hair color...?"

Grab your forehead and check the color.

Blue...?

Anna was right, her hair did change color.

"Livel gave Anna and Cu strength, and their abilities reached the realm of God and regained their original power.It took a lot of effort to get there, but you did well. "

"This is my natural power...?"

"Wow, really! Livel's magic is going to be amazing!"

When I measured my magic, it was overwhelmingly more magical than when I was using "Sumikata".

What, this amount of magic...

I was surprisingly strong myself.

"Cuu, Anna... thank you. Your preparedness will not be wasted."

"Well, I guess I've lost my [Dragon Knight] talent.It's a talent I didn't like at first, but it's a little sad when it's gone. "

"Yes, [Dragon Knight] 's talents are gone, and Anna's talents are gone. I'm sorry."

God answered.

"Hmm, well, I wouldn't have been a pastry chef if I hadn't had talent."

Honest guy, really.

"Well then, let's go show the Kurt guy.We have to preach. "

"Okay, good luck."

"Yes, thank you, God."

"Fufufu, Mr. Livel, you're already a god."

God said that and laughed, and Anna and I came back to where we were.

Kurt, Fear, and Agito stare at us in surprise.

Agito came too... you really are a good guy.

"I'm surprised... I didn't expect this to happen in the light.Cu disappeared and the atmosphere of Livel changed.It's amazing. It seems to be getting more magic. "

Cucumber's gone... Well, Cucumber was here to help.

Thank you so much, Cu.

I can't thank you enough.
