Episode 586. (5) [
Any
other place?]
“One important thing. I am not greedy.”
I’ve said it a few times, but overeagerness leads to failure.
Just pick one and turn it.
is that my way
“Instead, let’s draw or explode as we wish.”
[ah… … I mean that.]
“Yes, that.”
I sighed while thinking of the one I kept installing in the aisle all the way here.
“Heroes always disappear with an explosion.”
The moment you put warm words into your mouth.
During the invasion, magic circles secretly installed here and there exploded all at once and shook the entire castle.
‘It’s worth seeing his face. It’s a pity not to see it.’
I had the urge to wait here and see him face to face and leave, but I held back.
Now it’s time to get out of the way and check what you stole.
If you’ve been robbing for a long time, you should enjoy the harvest at your leisure.
That is the thief’s romance.
As soon as the report was received, Harial had to return urgently.
If it’s a tolerable problem, I’ll just ignore it or ask other subordinates to solve it.
“Arel Ernesia has invaded.”
” what?”
By the time he returned, it was obvious, but Arel had escaped.
In addition, he deliberately committed acts of bombing and terrorism.
Buildings are not difficult to fix.
However, a few reincarnated people and a few humans used for research have gone missing.
that was a bit wasteful
“… … Was there a gap like this?”
Hariel clicked his tongue while examining how Arel got in.
“but… … I never thought I’d allow entry into the castle… …
As a result of the investigation, a passage leading to the sea was discovered beneath the city.
When I checked it, it was pierced a long time ago.
The culprit was immediately guessed.
That’s him.’ There was a traitor.
At some point, he questioned Harial’s plan and secretly conducted an investigation, hiding his true intentions.
In the end, there was a reincarnated person who realized the truth and sharpened the blade of treachery.
But that was hundreds of years ago.
He must have handled it then… … I wish I could have left this.
They hurriedly blocked the passage and patched up the vulnerabilities, so they won’t be attacking again right away.
Most of all, he wouldn’t even think about coming.
‘but… … Where the hell did the inside information get to that point?’ That is not a problem that can be understood right away.
It is a mistake caused by one’s own negligence.
Hariel decided to admit it meekly.
‘… … More than that, the problem is here.’
He sighed as he looked around the lab, which had been completely gutted.
Before the damage to the castle or the loss of human resources, this was the most serious.
“wow? I got it all right. whoop whoop whoop. Even a robber would go away crying.”
When Rumelsitasa saw the horror, she laughed as if she was dumbfounded even thinking about it.
“Is this funny?”
“That is funny. pick up
Say it without the slightest hesitation.
Harial frowns more rarely than usual, but that’s all.
It’s not even an age that’s young enough to cause unnecessary emotional ups and downs.
But this time, unlike other times, he had no choice but to show a little bit of agitation, but he showed what he should not be found out the most.
‘At least… … If it had been a little bit later, there would have been no problem.’
It couldn’t be hidden beyond what was revealed on the surface.
Getting caught is also part of the plan.
But it’s too early now.
‘If he knew that, he… …
You will immediately change your attitude and try with all your might to sabotage yourself.
That’s all you can be sure of.
The reason Arel had been just rolling around so far was because, at least half of it seemed to him, he thought it had nothing to do with him.
It was because of my arrogant confidence that I could take care of things at any time.
And half of it is because it’s annoying.
Those who have power are lazy.
Those who have the knowledge and power accumulated over a long period of time tend to be more indolent.
but… … Will Arel continue to be lazy once she realizes that?
Not sure.
‘At least after the basic steps of it have been implemented… … Even if they were discovered, there would be no problem.’
Harial clicked her tongue.
It’s already spilled water, and it won’t change if you resent it here.
“Heriel? What are you going to do?”
Rumelsitasa asked leisurely.
She is one of the few reincarnated people who knows the full details of this plan.
And one who wholeheartedly supports his real goal.
“… … Proceed as scheduled. I guess we should speed up the work of inciting humans.”
At least annoying corners that might get in the way should be reduced.
You have to turn your attention a bit.
In the meantime, complete the plan.
It was a thousand years ago… … No, his only wish that he dreamed of even before he came to this land.
It must be the ruins of his long and uninterrupted life.
“… … An ideal place for us to settle down. right world. The meaning of our existence.”
Harial muttered with her hand on the device that channeled the enormous leyline energy.
“It will come soon.”
“… … It looks like he returned safely.”
Tennil quietly tidied up the house and looked around at one place.
[Yes, it seems that the data went over safely.]
“Is that really what it was? uncle?”
the boy chuckled.
Everything was as ‘Uncle’ had instructed.
Making a fuss on purpose to catch the eye of the person he designates.
Bringing him to him and showing him his uncle’s things.
and handing over.
Everything was as ‘uncle’ ordered.
[Fortunately, I was able to hand it over properly.
It was rewarding to keep looking for opportunities.]
Hundreds of years ago. I tried to stop his plan, but ultimately failed.
In the end, it had to be implemented with the means prepared just in case.
Being secluded for not a few years and seeing the opportunity to tell the truth to someone who will stop him and entrust it to him.
However, there was no opportunity to easily contact the outside world and no time to call someone.
In the end, I had to wait a long time.
Bringing the city to the ground as the plan progressed was an opportunity that couldn’t be better for him.
Thanks to that, I was able to find and hand him over to those who oppose him.
“Didn’t the uncle have something to say to that older brother? Can we talk directly?”
[Unfortunately, that’s not possible.]
The voice of his existence can only be seen and heard by this boy’s eyes and ears.
To be precise, it is to mislead the boy into recognizing what exists in his deep consciousness through sight and hearing.
This boy doesn’t know that far.
That’s why I obediently call him ‘Uncle’.
And I don’t doubt that only the boy is aware of his existence.
His true identity exists in the boy’s own consciousness.
To be precise, without knowing that he is the boy’s other self.
He doesn’t even know that he is a part of his past self, created hundreds of years ago using a reincarnation technique to avoid Herial’s eyes.
[Your work is now complete. Let’s forget everything from now on and wait. He will take care of the rest.”
“… … Is it like that?”
[okay… … .]
he muttered bitterly.
It is to avoid prying eyes, but the price paid is enormous.
The in-depth consciousness gradually left behind is also a limit.
Sooner or later, this boy will forget the current conversation and live without knowing everything.
Eventually, he disappears.
No regrets.
Having done this, I did everything I could.
You know what’s left.
Whether or not it can be stopped is ultimately up to those who remain.
There was no particular reason for doing this.
It was simply because he thought that what the crazy reincarnated person was about to do was extremely terrible for humans.
I just thought that at least it was my conscience as a reincarnated person.
That’s all.
Eventually, as if satisfied, the ‘uncle’ disappeared.
Tennil looked around for a while, blinking belatedly, as if he had lost his mind.
Like a person who has just woken up after falling into hypnosis.
The boy forgot everything without any awareness.
“… … uh? uh huh Why am I here?”
The boy, who forgot everything, looked around and eventually went back to his house without questioning anything.
There is no need for him to watch the future in this boy anymore.
Everything remains here and only those who are alive will see and know about it.
dawn the next day.
“… … Ahang? That’s how it happened.”
While checking the stolen loot, the day broke before I knew it.
Herial Theories and various records of what he was aiming for.
They all point one way.
When this amount of data is gathered, he may be certain of his purpose.
“. crazy bastard.”
However, before I had the sense of accomplishment that I had obtained the information, I had to feel some discomfort.
In fact, I wasn’t feeling very well the whole time.
To be precise, I had to feel uncomfortable the whole time I saw it at the boy’s house.
The true identity of the boy is fine.
I’m almost half sure what happened.
To be precise, it should be said that it was not that boy, but that former child.
I don’t know who he was or what caused him to be with Herial.
I don’t know how he wanted to leave this after knowing the information of guys like me.
Anyway, if you wanted to convey this by going that far, you should respect that will.
So I have no intention of saying anything else.
The problem is this material obtained thanks to that boy.
And this dirty feeling when you understand everything.
“That bastard didn’t care at all about dominance or anything from the start.”
guy’s purpose.
It is truly a mess in itself.
It was the result of what could be called madness.
I hope you can think of something like this
“Come to think of it, I thought this was the 100th time… … that guy?”
I laughed at the number of times he had lived.
The guy has completely gone mad.
Not even a tyrant.
He was just a madman.
“… … Well then, there is only one thing you can do for a madman.”
I got up from my chair and clenched my fists while looking out.
“I’ll crush that proud face properly.”
Yes, fists are medicine for a madman.
Decided.
There is nothing more to wait.
At first, I just let it go because it was annoying.
Anyway, if he reveals his ambition, then I should take care of it while taking my interests.
I just thought so.
It’s because I’m used to meeting strong enemies one by one in my life.
There was nothing to be nervous about.
But now it’s different.
I have a reason to deal with him no matter what.
You shouldn’t let him achieve what he wants.
“I’ll have to get them together tomorrow.”
Normally, since it’s been such a long time since I’ve worked, I’d take a break and say ‘see you in 4 weeks’.
Only this time is an exception.

Before that, there was one thing I personally wanted to check, so I headed to the place where he was.
The room where the ‘trainer’ was confined.
I used to come here occasionally.
Like deliberately serving mint cola as a meal, teasing her, or trying to get information while joking around.
But that’s not the case today.
Just one-sidedly because I have something to say.
“… … nothing to say.”
As soon as he enters, the little boy turns his head curtly.
“It’s fine whether it’s there or not. Yes, exercise your right to remain silent.”
I didn’t even think I was going to respond anyway.
Instead, I tossed the wad of paper I had brought.
“Read.”
The little boy pretends not to know for a while, and eventually picks it up and reads it carefully.
“… … what is this?”
“I brought it from your house. It looks like it’s about the world that Heriel you follow so much is dreaming of.”
“I heard… … No bar. That can’t be the case. The moon kid is perplexed.
Looking at it, I was convinced in my heart.
Few people knew Harial’s true intentions.
And that this is far from what this kid wants.
I wanted to check this out.
