Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Lesson 514: Temporary Retreat (2)
From the information obtained from Anna, there is another thing that I know, and I can say that this is the main topic.
It is the location of Tempest's Barabanta, the head of the Hunters' Larrabay.When it comes to location, it seems that I could not get accurate information on the appearance and whereabouts of Barabanta himself, just by talking about where the tempest is located, but I can tell that it seems to be arranged in the northwest direction from where it is now.
Even so, I found out about Tempest, who didn't know anything until now.This will be a very powerful piece of information, and it was a big harvest that gave me information about Tempest at this time.
“Another thing. I don't think this has much to do with this…”
What?
"When I read Anna's memory... there was a memory that was in a container filled with something like water."
"Water..."
The first thing that comes to mind when I hear it is the container that this body was in when I came to this world.When I really resumed, I heard when I checked the situation with each other, but when I came to this world, it seemed that it was in a container filled with liquid just like me.
Probably, but it's a container that has a lot to do with this body.Culturing or preserving... no matter what, if we were all in the same container as Anna, it doesn't look like a normal body born from someone who lives in this world.The hypothesis of homunculus became real.
However, it seems that Heine and the Pilates vampires are only seen because of the blood... that is, what this body has experienced.
If you simply look at memory, you should be able to see what happened in the other world, but it didn't.The fact that it was in a container filled with water is still a memory before Anna entered the body.In other words, it is not Anna's own memory, but the body's memory.
In short, it is evidence that the personality Anna already existed only before she entered the body.I don't know the details of what kind of state the body was in, but it seems that we were brought into this world by someone's will...
"I see... thanks for letting me know."It didn't seem to hurt to know.But for now, let's not think about it.We don't need to talk about it. "
“Yeah. That's right.
Here's the information I got from her. "
"Okay, but most of all, I found out about Tempest."
Would you like to aim for Tempest before Puppet?
"... let's wait until we get the information from that man."
I turn my gaze to Xenorath, who shrinks away from my voice.
"W-what...?"
When Xenoras noticed my gaze, he bluffed with a frightened voice and expression.
"Heine. Pilte. I'm sorry, but please do it again."
"Yes, leave it to me."
"I don't have to use my physical strength separately, so it's okay."
You can make Xenorath speak, but unlike the shackles of slaves, the shackles of slime can't detect lies.To be precise, we have to decide for ourselves whether it's a lie or a truth.
If Heine and Pilte could confirm the memory directly, there would be no need to take the trouble.With your help, you don't have to bother deciding whether it's a lie or a truth, and it's ridiculous to spend your time with someone like this.If Heine and Pilte agree, I'd like to leave them to gather information.And they were happy to take it on.I'll leave Xenorath to you.
"Hey, what are you going to do!Don't touch me! "
"Ah. You better stay close to me."Because the child inside you may get mad. "
Zenorus, who tried to escape as Heine and Pyrte clutched him, said coldly.
"AH?!!"
In fact, if you move too far away from Slatan, you will fall away from the command of Pure Slime, and Slime will follow her instinct as a monster and devour Xenorath from within.However, even if it's a little far away, it won't be a problem if it moves around here because it won't come off from command... but Xenolus doesn't know that.I don't think you're going to want to find out for yourself what boundaries you might die on.
Xenorath pauses her body as she tries to escape and turns to her side.
”I won't stop you if you want to be melted from your body and die... but I think you'll be attacked by hell-like pain.”
"This... this..."
Are you trying to tell me that there's an outpost?You put yourself on the shelf, and that's what I often think of.I didn't look at it in detail, but compared to what Zenolus had done, it would be cute.
Don't let others do anything you don't like.It seems that this man has no education, even though he knows it in elementary school.
"No, stop it... stop it!" Don't come! "
I want to escape, but I can't.The emotions of slaves in such a situation must be felt by Xenorus now.
"You're hiding in a corner, so I hope you don't shout it out loud."
Bakiki!
"Gahh!"
Xenorath was mercilessly beaten.
First of all, I have no intention of keeping this man alive.I will kill you as soon as I have the information I need.So, whether you hurt it or not, there is no problem as long as you get the information.
That said... we're humans, and we don't want to do anything like this guy did.Because I can't do that, I can give him some pain... but this guy looks like a cadre, and since he was floating around on slaves, he won't be able to tolerate the pain, and his heart will be broken immediately.
”No, don't... ahhhhh!”
Heine sticks her fangs out, bites, and soothes her blood.It was also a few seconds, but it seemed to be an unbearable few seconds for Xenorath, with tears in her eyes.
…………………
Bakiki!
Giggle!
Heine, who drank Xenorath's blood, silently hit Xenorath once and walked towards us.
"This is the first time I've resented not being able to choose to see."
Heine holds her eyebrows toward me so that she doesn't look like Xenorath.
Because it touches on the past of Xenorath, you will see clearly what you have been doing.There will be an overwhelming proportion of people who don't have the information they need, and I've asked for it, but I think I've asked for something terrible.
If it's hard, let me break your mouth?
It lacks credibility, but if it is difficult to see the past of Xenorath, you can also make him break his mouth and talk about the information.
"... no, I'll see."
"Mother. Me too."
"Pilates is no good."
Heine interrupts Pilate's suggestion on the way.
"It's enough for one person to see something like that."
Piltee lived as a vampire clan, and came close to fighting and torturing.Still, if Heine stops, the past of Xenorath will be such a cruel sight.
So, but...
"I've lived a long time, so I've seen a lot of things."That's why I'm accustomed to things like this.But it's not good to get used to it.In order not to show such a sight, the Demon King held hands with Alice-sama.Of course, I don't want Pilate to see me like this.
So, will you listen to me this time? "
"Mother..."
Although Heine said that she was used to it, she didn't show her face to Xenorath earlier because she couldn't hide it because she was disgusted.Even Heine is not used to it.But I still didn't want Pilate to see it.
“I'm responsible for extracting the information.So, I'll take care of the rest. ”
Before Pilte could reply, Heine headed back toward Xenorath.
I just hope we get the information we need soon.
While Heine extracts the information from the Xenorath holiday, we prepare ourselves as we talk about the upcoming moves.
"Either you aim at Tempest first, or you crush Puppet's Minas first... Either way, the fight is going to last a long time again."
"... I guess so. However, I don't think I'm going to keep watching them silently."I think it's time we started trying to crush us in earnest. "
That means the rest of them will come to us?
“I don't think it's all of them, but it's definitely going to get us a headcount.
Mina didn't come out after her men were dead, and she's likely already escaped.If you escaped, you're definitely looking to Tempest for help.Because it's an organization for that purpose.
However, I need information about Minor's appearance, Barabanta's appearance, and so on, anyway.Once you have it, decide how you want it to move.We won't be able to avoid a fight. That's also... "
"It's a fierce battle..."
Yeah.
"I never dreamed that I would be involved in such a big fight."
The moon floating in the sky and the stars murmured as I looked up.
I don't dislike it. It was a pure impression with no meaning.
"Life is one inch ahead of darkness, but I don't know what's really going to happen."
A bitter smile.
"Do you regret following us?"
"No. Not at all."
This time, I'll say it with a smile that doesn't give in.
"If I hadn't been here, there would have been battles, and somewhere in this world, there would have been many battles, and someone might have died."I get it.
It's an inevitable reality, and it doesn't change what's happening, no matter how much I live to not see it.
It's the same everywhere. ”
For humans living in modern Japan, war and confrontation feel like an event in another world somewhere far away.
But in the world, it's certainly happening, and somebody's been killed, killed.
I just don't know it.
However, in this world, it is happening as a very familiar event, so if you do not see it, you will enter your sight without refusal.
"If it is a reality that will happen anyway, I thought it was really necessary to open my eyes and look at that reality and move to do something about it.
I'm not talking about saving the world or anything like that.
If only one person can be saved by me, I want to be saved.But if you want to save me, you have to face reality.
And if I have to face it head-on, I want to see it close to you guys. "
"It's an honor, but we're only moving for what we believe in."
"Well, Cynthia, what you believed was something that I could believe."
It's not a world seen from the side of people like Xenorath, or the reality of the Holy Knights.When I saw the reality without the color glasses, I thought I should see the world from here.
That's why I don't regret it.Rather, I'm grateful.If I'd stayed in the woods like that, I wouldn't have noticed what was really important. "
Suratan-sama...
"Ahahaha." You're a little overdressed. ”
That's what I said and I smiled.
Finally, I cut the story with the cover-up, but I think it is the true meaning of Surakutan.As much as we're glad you were thinking about it.
"... while you're resting, let's put something in your belly."
As for me, it was a little shiny, and I changed my story by taking a toilet ride on the sloth that was the subject of the conversation.
"Before I do that, I have to clean my body once."
I can't eat blood all over the stone, so I washed everyone's body out while being careful not to let the light from the magic circle leak out.
I was surprised that the water that seemed to have been painted in the blood more than I expected, and was washed away, had gone through the crimson and turned black.
After refreshing once, take a moderate amount of meals that have already been prepared and taken out of my inventory.
Even though I washed it off thoroughly, there was still a smell of blood in the back of my nose, and it was not a very delicious meal, but my stomach swelled.
You can't fight when you're hungry, and you still can't fight when you're hungry.It is important to keep something in your belly, even if it is not delicious.
Xenorath sentry was replaced with Heine. After Heine ate his meal, he was asked to read the rest information. I don't know how many times it was, but I succeeded in obtaining the necessary information.
Incidentally, when Xenorus shouted, it was found, so I wrapped it like a cloth squeezed as a monkey.
"Cynthia, I know about Mina."
After resting a little, Heine, who was away from Xenorath, approached with a happy face.
“It really helps. So what do you know?”
"It seems that Mina is a human woman."She's as tall as Cynthia, and bigger for a woman.I was able to check her appearance, but... "
What?
Heine gives a thoughtful gesture and stops talking.
"The woman I saw in the memory of Zenolus, Mina, doesn't know exactly what she's doing."
Can't you make it...?
"It's my intuition, but... putting together the number of people so far, there are so many slaves at the top of the puppet."Even though it's minor, I don't feel domineering.Normally speaking of the top of a big organization, there is something like a different existence than the average people.
I even had Fear's Ganasalis.Whether you try to hide it or not, it's not something you can hide, and even if it's the head of a bandit, there's still a distinct air in people who stand on top of people.But that's not what Minor was in Zenorus' memory.
I just saw the memories, so it's possible that I'm mistaken... "
Substitute… I guess. There's plenty of room for that.
It is conceivable that even Xenorath has not shown herself.After all, Xenorath's combat power is quite low, and it is no surprise that he had to cooperate with a substitute in view of the possibility of getting caught.
"If that woman were my substitute, I wouldn't have known about Mina after all. I'm sorry..."
"If Xenorath doesn't know, it's only natural that Heine can't know that.You don't have to apologize.
It won't be in vain, because we'll be able to get to him from the substitute.
Did you find anything else? "
"Yes, it's about the movement of a woman who might be a substitute, but Xenorath also seems to have known."
As soon as the battle between us and Puppet started, she asked the migrants and Xenorath to wipe us out.
Anna didn't seem to have left the scene, but Xenorath seemed to have left the scene to call for backup. "
After Anna and Shiloh moved, Xenorath appeared.In other words, when Anna and Shiloh appeared, they were nearby, but they felt that the situation was going to be unfavorable, so they must have fled on their own.
Somehow, this Xenorath man was also used as a minor pawn.
In the end, they are moving as somebody's pawn, and they are constantly making a composition of using and being used by somebody.
Bandits may be like that, but we have a fundamentally different motivation than us who can move for each other because we trust and are trusted.In the end, they will only be able to relate to others by using it.It feels like a terrible, sad thing.
"Anna's destination is definitely Tempest."
“I think so, too.”
"If so, Puppet won't need it anymore."You don't have to dare get close.Let's aim for Tempest from here.If you find someone who looks like a minor, you can deal with them. "
At the same time, I don't think it's a sweet opponent, but I'll say it like it's easy.
“Yeah, I think that's good.
But what bothers me is the movements of Puppets' survivors. ”
I reduced the number a lot, but there were still hundreds of Puppet gestures.I'm looking for us who escaped, but when I learn that we have entered an engagement with Tempest, and I know that there is a minor there, it is highly likely that we will move to create a state of siege.
"Tempest is a bandit group that reigns at the top of the Hunters' Lalabah, so the number of people should surpass Puppet."Even though it's hard, I doubt if we'll be able to deal with hundreds of people coming from behind. "
I'm not saying I can't, Hiroshi.In fact, if you can stand around well, we alone will be able to endure it for a while.However, in the end, it's not much different from the previous battle.If you force yourself into enemy territory, you won't have enough health.
Why don't you go around and make sure you don't get pinned down?
"The other person is probably thinking about it, and they should respond appropriately if they get caught up in it."
Besides, I'm afraid of pincer fire, but I'm also afraid that the Puppets will rendezvous with Tempest to become a bigger group.My trump card isn't a panacea either. "
"I see... the Puppets are troublesome..."
"Yeah. Just because those nasty people are after us doesn't mean they're going to go to the city."The people on their way to the city must be trying to pull them back, and the original plan, to keep the enemy out of the city, is on the way.We are sure of the results we have achieved. ”
You said it was worth the fight until you almost fell.
Yeah.
