I really don’t know. From here on, it’s completely unknown territory, so it’s hard to act hastily. But I’m not the type to list all the possibilities and be careful like a prophet.
“But what is certain is that when everything is over, we will return to the military.”
This is the truth. If I were allowed normal time, I would stay in the military and slowly search for secrets. Just like before entering the bottomless pit.
Historia chewed over my words several times. Then he said
“It sounds like a lie.”
what the. Even though I told the truth with a long affection, you said it seemed like a lie?
“I can’t believe you. The military and me. you gave up easily Nothing can be your hostage…”
Of course. I am the human king. As long as you don’t take all humans hostage, there’s no choice but to stay the same.
But still keep your promise.
“ruler. Leah. thank you for the massage Oh right. When I went down to the basement of the Communications Headquarters the other day, I said I would repay you if I came up again, right? It’s thanks to you, but what?”
He held out his hand. Historia tugged at my hand to lift me up. It’s a very common movement that you might have done once between friends.
mix one in there.
“No. 8.”
The act of changing one another’s position. Historia reacted reflexively. In an instant, the positions of me and Historia are reversed. Historia, who won’t fall no matter how hard I try and exert myself, collapsed onto the bed at the word I whispered.
I looked down at Historia and pulled up my sleeves.
“Do you have severe muscle pain too? If you do more than me, you won’t be worse than me.”
“Uh…”
“It’s a reward. I’ll give you a massage.”
“Hey, you… how to bleed…”
“I learned it. just now.”
I can’t. But Historia can. Then, reading Historia’s thoughts, I can do it too.
Bleeding is a fairly sensory technique, but it doesn’t matter. You just need to read Historia’s senses.
“Number 0.”
The engraving before it hardens remains the longest. Following the instructions she had promised in advance when she was clumsy, Historia took a deep breath and relaxed.
Historia decided to stay in the military. The superficial reason was that he had suffered a lot from the series of battles and needed time to sharpen his new knowledge…
Of course, the biggest reason was to protect the military and its ‘secret’. This is because the military could easily collapse if the secrets buried under the communications headquarters were not kept.
“Okay. It doesn’t matter what the military is like. okay. You can have at least one ally.”
The regressor grumbled with a bit of regret and handed a bunch of leaves from the World Tree to Historia.
“ruler. It is a leaf of the world tree. It’s precious, so don’t just smoke it like magic grass.”
Historia murmured while receiving the leaves of the World Tree.
“…you can’t be honest, cutie.”
“I didn’t give you everything! I gave it to a butterfly to use!”
“Cat King? Magical candle?”
The regressor crossed his arms and said.
“okay. There is no Maximilien now, and there is no Lieutenant General, the cat beast. Butterflies aren’t so easygoing, so there’s no one to touch them. But I’m anxious to leave it alone. Animals that are subtly friendly with humans with ambiguous wildness like cats are easy to take advantage of… At least…” The
story is getting longer. I’d say it briefly. For the disingenuous regressor, I kindly summarized it.
“They want to entrust the butterfly. If it’s you, I can trust you, and butterflies are useful, so I hope you’ll take good care of me. Magic weed is a means to control butterflies, and it would be nice if you could smoke it…”
That’s a perfect summary. Historia nodded.
“…cute.”
“I don’t know about that, but I can’t be honest.”
“You are talking nonsense! Have I ever been disingenuous?”
It’s unreasonable to be hot. Why don’t you take off your mask and talk? How long are you planning on dressing up as a man?
Well, I know roughly why. If you say you know the future, will you be suspected of being a saint? He lied a little about his origins. Reasonable.
But honestly, aren’t you honest? That’s to the point that if I poke a little bit, I’ll be exposed right away.
Where can I point out your inconsistency?
“It’s just fine. I really want to ask, but I couldn’t take it back if I said it out of my mouth, so I’ve been holding back. What should I do?”
“What are you?”
“As you know, I am a weak human being with only a few talents. It was only in the military country that I had a relationship with Historia, and it was a place where I had been living since I was young, so I somehow overcame the difficulties, but that is impossible in other countries. Especially in a place where the logic of power reigns like the nations.”
“Why are you spinning around?”
This is what you did a while ago. I was going to do mirror therapy, but I didn’t know you wouldn’t pass the mirror test either.
I kindly explained this time as well.
“I am now a tin can with nothing to peel off. Wouldn’t it be better for me, a weakling, to stay here?”
“uh?”
“That’s why I’m asking if it would be better if I wasn’t there, even from Mr. Shay’s point of view.”
Pretending not to be confident, I appeal to you to acknowledge my need.
There is also a way to say, “I will not follow you unless you kneel down and ask…” But in that case, the regressor who was born with a rebellious spirit may really leave alone. It’s an act that won’t be of much use to me now or the next me, so that’s a pass.
now this is the best I don’t know what position I’m in, but I know my position. Even a regressor would feel distant if they imagined my absence.
‘If you think soberly, it is. Purely by force… You can do something, but if you don’t pay attention to something, you’re going to die. I’m not sure.’
what. I didn’t mean to admit that part.
‘But other than that, it’s different. Negotiation Persuasion A variable that digs into the opponent’s gaps… He’s quite competent in that regard. It’s probably the most lacking part for me. It’s hard to give up.’
You finally found out, regressor. I realized my importance. Now, should I be honest with you?
“Hmmmm. no what You don’t even have a little uneasy mind. Is it okay if I follow you? After all, there are enough people who work hard.”
“That means I will only be your burden, right? So where can I go and brag? The porter of the party of warriors who will save the world… No, it’s not that, it’s a burden.”
“no no! Well, the burden is the same as the burden!”
“However, the category of luggage remains unchanged. If so, I’m missing out here.”
As he slightly lengthened his tail, the regressor hurriedly waved his hand.
“Oh no! What does strength matter? Still have affection!”
“Is friendship important in saving the world?”
“Besides me! Ajina and Tyrkanjaka are close friends too! Motivation is important!”
“There is a risk of becoming a hostage. One more reason to quit.”
“I will protect you from that! It’s a bit cumbersome, but that’s about it!”
“You are back to square one. It’s better not to follow it than it will be cumbersome.”
“oh!”
He doesn’t know the word self-contradiction. Why do your words keep contradicting you?
Looking at the bewildered regressor, Historia muttered something cute.
“It is cute. I’m not honest, but I’m honest. I can see why Huey likes you.”
I’d rather annoy you than like you. The two are quite different.
The regressor couldn’t bear to honestly say that he could just honestly admit that he needed my ability, and hesitated. I quietly waited for the regressor’s answer.
ruler. There are no gaps in my logic. Acknowledge my ability purely and beg me to go with you. I have to follow him anyway, but it’s better to take him.
‘The power is weak. but useful it’s okay to take Then… Huh?’
As if he had finally come up with a plan, the regressor clapped his hands and spoke confidently.
“I will make you stronger!”
“…yes?”
what is it all of a sudden There, you have to acknowledge my preciousness and ask me to go with you. But what a strange word.
“I know what kind of training a weak person must go through to become strong. Because I’ve tried it myself. you can too! I’m done growing up, but I’m not very old. If you’re the top, you’ll be smart!”
no, are you younger than me now? Don’t mistake age for regression?
“Then I just have to train you whenever I have time! If you feel that you lack strength, you don’t have to be strong!”
“What are you looking at? That is more troublesome.”
“are you okay! It’s an investment!”
‘And if you learn the know-how about which training is better this time, you might become stronger in the next round! Maybe it’ll be more than Tirkanjaka’s chance! I’ll remove two of the seeds of disaster and become the link that moves the musketeers!’
It’s a big deal. The conclusion goes in an odd direction.
If I say I can’t go because I lack strength, it’s normal to think that they will comfort me by listing my strengths. It is also an appropriate response for a normal social person.
But if you lack strength, will you give it strength? are you the devil
“ha ha ha. what do you say There’s no way I’ll wake up just because I’m training here.”
“…it doesn’t. That’s fine. If it’s Hugh, there’s a possibility.”
“Leah, what does that mean?”
Historia said with a face many times more excited than when I made fun of the regressor.
“Think good. no it is required It was what Huey needed most.”
no wait! I’m not strong that way. Did you know that the story of the human king losing all his powers and disappearing…
Because it’s real! It wasn’t because I didn’t know how to be strong, so I wasn’t whimpering! Anything that’s just mediocre talent? It’s not a world where you survive by being strong in the first place!
‘Let’s see. What is the training menu? Wouldn’t it be normal to start with repetitive exercises to build up basic stamina? If you look at the physical reaction and gradually increase the load.’
I can’t. Historia is also positive about the will of the regressor. If I stay here longer, the training menu that will kill me may be completed. I hurriedly looked around to find a place to escape.
found. In front of me, a large, closed-looking automatic carriage rolled down the road. This is the same car that Hilde and Tyrkanjaka went to get airlifted after receiving a call from the signalman a while ago.
The midday sun was pouring down, but even the straight light that casts shadowless light on everything in the world shattered terribly when it touched that steel box. Covered in thick armor, the wagon will not only protect the people inside from various threats, but will also provide complete protection from sunlight. It doesn’t seem like the vampire ride was in mind, but it was a necessary feature for us now.
Someone poked their head out of the lid on the car’s top. Hilde. Hilde shouted as she swung her arms left and right.
“father! The Cataphract, an armored vehicle for command, has been airlifted! Everything is ready! Just get on your body and we’ll go!”
Nice timing. there is really only you
“everyone! The preparations are complete. Let’s leave quickly before it’s too late.”
“…100 times. Jump in and out and follow along. Forced intake of the elixir…”
“Let’s go!”
Blocking out any more terrible noises, I ran towards the Cataphract. Only then did the regressor move on.
The back of the cataphract rattled open. The open entrance is a structure that creates a slope that is inclined at an angle so that goods can be loaded and unloaded there. I got up there and cried.
