Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Episode 155 Lacquer Stone
"If it involves your physical condition, you don't have to look into it. I'm not in trouble without knowing.
"It's okay. Don't worry, it won't affect your physical condition.
"Are you sure you're okay?
"Yes."
It doesn't look like Sakura is lying.
If you're really okay, I'll have you look into it.
If that's the case, let's have a look.
"Yes, I'll take care of it!
Is Sakura happy to be relied on? I have a little mood.
I hope I don't have to force myself to fall down...
"Nevertheless, I've never heard of the Magic Eye... what is it?
"I see... eyes that consume magic and provide a special view... but is that easy to understand?
"Is there such a thing... is it okay to consume magic?
"My magic eye consumes a small amount of magic, so it's okay. I'm just watching.
"Are the other magic eyes different?
"I don't know much about other magic eyes, so I can't say anything, but I've heard that there are also large magic eyes that consume magic.
I have heard that some of them are very rare and can only be expressed genetically.
Really...
What's in my head is Nil.
That red glowing eye... maybe Nil also has a magic eye...?
No, it's too soon to decide. Maybe... think about it. However, if that is the Magic Eye, you may know how to control it by asking Sakura.
It's not too late to see where Sakura is using the Magic Eye once, and if it's similar, let's talk about it.
"Now, let's get started.
"Please.
"Yes... Sue... hoo..."
Keep your eyes closed and breathe slowly and deeply as you sit.
I can see that it increases my concentration.
When I looked at the scene with a little nervousness without saying anything, I felt that the smell of cherry blossoms in the room became stronger.
When I felt the scent, my eyes slowly opened.
The clear cherry blossom colored eyes glow faintly as they are cherry colored, and only the eyes appear to be raised.
The colour and light are different, but they look very similar to Nil's.
"... eh?!
When I look at Sakura's eyes with such thoughts in mind, Sakura looks around my chest and is surprised.
"What's wrong?
"Ah, no... there is certainly a black stone inside Shinya.
Really? Even if you had something like that in you, you wouldn't notice it.
Sakura closed her eyes slowly and when she opened it again, the light was gone.
"But what were you surprised about?
"That's... Shinya-sama's lacquered stone, but it's very dark... what should I say?
Dark?
"In my case, I feel the wavelength of the black stone rather than actually seeing the black stone inside the person. and so on.
"Doesn't it mean you can actually see it?
"Yes, by resonating with the black stone, we are looking at the shadow of the black stone in the person.
I've seen some black stones, including my brother, but the shadow is this big.
Sakura showed it by hand about 15 cm. I don't even know the shape, but is it easy to understand when I think of it as the aura of the big fist?
"But Sinya's shadow of black stone is twice as strong. Since it is in the body, the size of lacquer stone does not differ much from person to person. So it's not that the black stone is actually large, but the shadow is large and dark.
"Good thing... what is it?
"Yes, the darkness of the black stone leads to the strength of the divine power, so that's a good thing.
Nevertheless... all the Four Ones were seen as lacquered stones, but there were no dark shadows so far. Does that mean that everyone is?
"I don't know... it's the first time I've heard of lacquer stones since I've been here. However, I don't think it's a capability that other Watanabe could use.
"In that case, Sinja is special. Still... if it helps so much... maybe?!
Sakura came up with something, and he looked me in the face with his eyes round.
Leave him to Gonzo. What a foolish thing to think about, Sakura leans back slightly from her seat, puts her hands on the floor and lowers her head deeply.
"What?!
Suddenly there is nothing but confusion on the ground.
"I don't even know dew!! Thank you very much! Please forgive me!!
"What?! What?! Yuko?!
"Lord Shinya... or were you a saint?!
I was surprised to see Gonzo with a blue face.
"Er... what's going on here...?"
It's been a surprise since we got here, man.
"And, for now, raise your head. I don't know what that priest looks like, but I'm a normal human race.
This situation is not good. A man who lowers his head to an incurable sacrament... a scum!?
"I don't want to be disfigured! Look at the face of a priest! Your eyes will be crushed!
No, you've just been looking at it. You haven't crushed your eyes, have you?
Sakura-sama I do admit that your husband was a god... "
Admit it. Nil.
"Please treat me very kindly and kindly. If you're so afraid, you'll be in trouble.
Hmm... I don't know what that priest is in the first place, but I can't be divine from his name. It was just a wolf.
That's why I wanted Nil to deny it... is it because it sounds like you're admitting it...?
"Ha, yes...."
You finally raised your head, but your eyes didn't match. It's a little sad...
"Um... first of all, could you explain the priest?
"... a saint is not a man whom God sent.
Gonzo starts talking on behalf of Sakura.
Gonzo is a little nervous, but the way he treats us hasn't changed.
"It's a legend that he looks very different from us, has great power, and has a mission from God...
Does that mean angelic presence?
Legends are basically urban legends that no one has ever seen before… then they're definitely different. I want you not to scare me.
"No, no! It's not that big a deal!
I don't have a mission, I've never met a god!
Full denial.
But... not only Sakura, but also Gonzo's bluishing of the word "goddess" means that these urban legends are deeply believed on this island.
Then let's leave it to the priest, and let's negotiate... no good.
In such a haribote, there will always be deformity, and even if the story goes well, it is visible that the lie will become a shackle in all situations, such as alliances and subsequent battles.
Even if they finally win, it will be jihad for them, and the clashes with the people of the continent may not be filled.
Not a cunning thing to do.
"Besides, if Watanabe just couldn't use his power and everyone had the same black stone as me, how many would there be?
The number of players eventually dropped considerably, but there must have been an unimaginable number of accesses to something that was featured at the start of the launch. Naturally, the characters created by all the players are handicapped.
If it's all a priest, it's a great bargain for priests. There will be no shards of divinity.
"Thirty people and I may be the only ones here, but there were hundreds of thousands on the continent.
"Huh?!
I was surprised at Gonzo. I hardly know the continent, so I can't help it.
"Such a man can't be such a fine man.
Some of them were tougher than the ones who fell into Gonzo this time... "
I definitely don't want to admit that they're noble people.
"I see..."
You finally turned towards me, but I'm still a little more comfortable.
"Besides, even if you were a god, I would like you to treat Gonzo and Sakura normally. Rats are happier too.
Yeah! Play again!
Lat delivers his voice from the garden.
"... I see. I apologize for the disturbance.
I wonder if Sakura is a little chilly. Maybe that's the good part.
"This is not the end of the confirmation. I have a place to go, so don't be rude.
Is Lord Shinya still here?
"I need to ask you something, I'll be there a little longer.
"I understand.
Lord Sakura, don't you love yourself?
"Yes, be careful, Miss Gonzo.
"Yes, I understand!
Sakura gives Gonzo a soft smile, and Gonzo, who was damaged by that smile, leaves early enough.
Hmm. Looks like the end of this love is long.
It's a long-lived demon race, but Sakura has a time limit. I'd like to do something about it... but I can't let a third party get too far...
I wish I could cure the sakura...
"Fufufu, Gonzo always leaves.
Sakura puts her hand against her mouth and laughs happily.
"Gonzo and I seem to be close.
"Yes, please always be good to me, such an ignorant and sick person.
Since I got sick, I may be sympathetic... "
Sakura drops a shadow on her face.
Does it make her feel like she's worried about her weak self?
Or do you know that even if you are aware of each other's feelings, it is fate that you will soon die, so you can't go any further with Gonzo?
Either way, I feel like I can't do it anymore.
I took the help to save that life.
"Fufu. Don't be rude to Miss Gonzo for saying such a thing.
I can't help but blame myself for helping Gonzo.
When you look at the sakura that lives and laughs in front of you, your thoughts deepen even further.
There is life that cannot be saved. I will know that. Still... I can't help you even if you're within reach...
After all, since I lost Sylvie, my hands have been... tiny.
"So... what do you want to ask me...?
"Oh, I see.
About the Magic Eye.... "
"I'll tell you anything I know.
"Thank you.
Actually, I want to know how to control the Magic Eye.
"About the control method...?
"Ah. That's all I need to know... Actually, I've brought my feet to the corner, so I'd like to get along with Sakura a little bit more.
I dared not name Nil because I didn't want Sakura to put an extra burden on me. The more you know, the more things you have to keep quiet. If she doesn't know, her effort will be reduced if she doesn't know.
"Fufufu, Sinya-san is so kind.
"Really?
"Yes, I am deluded by makeup and kimono, but luxurious... no. If you're weak, you know.
………
"It's fine. I have no choice but to accept this.
Looking at me like that, everyone but my family and best friends are worried. I'm not saying I don't like it. I'm very happy... I'm a luxurious person who still misses me.
"That's not true.
If you call it luxury, people in the world are doing their best to be luxurious. No, it might be true. Maybe you just didn't realize that.
"Fufufu, thank you.
Everyone is worried, but Sinya didn't worry, she said she wanted to get along.
You can see in your eyes that it's not a lie. I am very happy that such a kind heart of Shinya.
"Really? When I see someone I like, I think it's normal to want to get along and talk more.
For Sakura, you can see how far the ordinary life of ordinary people is from this mansion.
It's as if we're all taking care of each other by pushing them into the cage so they don't let our precious little birds escape... I get the impression.
That's why I emphasized the word normal.
"Fufufu, that's right. That's normal.
Sakura smiles happily.
Sakura seemed to be particularly sensitive to people's emotions and emotional movements, either because they were often worried about being sick or weak.
That's why I quickly got along with Rato.
Reads what the other person is looking for and what they want to talk about right away.
On the contrary, you'll know how to get hurt in your hands.
I think it was good that Sakura herself was kind.
"I don't know if my experience will help, but I'll tell you. That's right! I'll tell you the old Gonzo story at the corner!
"That sounds interesting! Let me hear it!
"I care too!
Me and me!
"Fufufu, I'm starting to think you're doing something wrong!
Sakura laughs like a prank. Your expression is changing.
"Sometimes you do something bad and make everybody suffer. You're always a good kid. Sakura and everybody don't get bored, right?
"That's right..."
"It's okay. You may get tired of it all the time, but everyone will enjoy it even if it's just a joke!
I'm sure you know what kind of sakura pranks are, and few people are uncomfortable with it.
Everyone will laugh and forgive me.
"Fufufu, now you're having more fun!
From the mouth of Sakura... I mean, I was very happy to hear about the future.
"Fufufu, that reminds me of the old days.
Sakura's distant eyes remind him of something and nostalgize him.
"When I was little, not sick, and healthy, I used to play games with Sena, the blacksmith.
"Ah! Sena! We met, too!
"Really?! How are you?!
"Oh, you enjoyed bullying Gonzo.
"Fufufu, that's what Sena always does. However, the root is gentle, and when you see the weak bully, you are the child who runs before anyone and beats the other person, whether he is a man or not. He's a child with a strong sense of justice.
I really am a helpless friend. That way, Sena is helpless to her friends! I get angry.
"Hahaha! Exactly as I imagined!
Sure you were close to Senna's father and Sakura's parents.
"Yes, in fact, me and my brother's father were the first four demons in this southern district, and Sena's father struck the sword.
"I was just asking, have you been dating since then?
"Yes, Sena's father came to see how the sword was struck regularly. At that time, Sena was also brought down, and you two used to play together and run around the garden.
Fufu, you can't let a girl run around! And my mother used to get mad at me.
Does Sakura miss... or envy... when she can't do that anymore?
"Siden inherited his father's trail?
"That's right. When my father died, he was temporarily vacant because he still lacked the strength of his brother.
"In an empty seat...? Are you okay?
"Yes. Originally, I would have to decide the next Four Demons immediately, but Genjiro, who was friendly among the Four Demons, told me that he would be in charge of the South District for a while, and he kept me here until my brother showed his strength as a Four Demon.
Heh...
I've walked this far, but the districts of the east, west, south, and north are quite large. I don't know how big it actually is, but it would be a pretty tough job to manage each area by yourself.
Even at one time, I didn't know you were in charge of two compartments… Genjiro is more amazing than I imagined. I'll never imitate it.
"That's why I see you, brother, and I'm very grateful to Genjiro.
I can't keep my head down from my position.
I see... that's why you accepted my request very quickly.
"Fufufu."
Sakura suddenly laughs when she remembers something.
"Dear Gonzo, I am saying that it is now, but in fact, it was not such a way of talking in the past.
"Really? On the contrary, I feel uncomfortable..."
"On the contrary, it used to be rough, rough, and fought all the time, for whatever reason... it's changed.
"That's a very interesting story. I'd like to hear more about it.
"Fufufu, okay.
Sakura laughs happily and then opens her mouth.
"I see... that was a while after Sena and I got along...."
The cut-out sakura told me about when the sakura, Senna, and Gonzo were still small.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Ouka Island decades ago.
"Wait! Senna!"
"It's too late! Hurry up!"
I used to go shopping in the city with Senna, my father, and Senna's father.
My brother and I basically couldn't get out of the Mansion because we were Shiki's children, and we didn't know much about it.
Did you feel pity for such an ignorant person? Sena-chan's father turned his hand around a lot, and the place was limited, but he was able to go out.
