S3 | There is no point in boasting unhappiness

The air in the room after Wakaba and her friends left was nothing but the worst.

Kudo-san, who usually puts everyone together, is fascinated by Wakaba-san's words that she cannot return to the earth.

I don't know how she lived in this village.

However, from the atmosphere so far, it can be expected that Kudo-san played a central role and managed to manage.

The heart of the central figure is about to break.

It seemed that the fact that the central figure to rely on had sunk in an uncertain situation which cast a heavy shadow on everyone's hearts.

I want to go back to Japan.

I'm sure that every reincarnated person would have thought about it once.

I have thought so many times.

The civilization of this world was far behind that of Japan, and I often felt inconvenienced.

Above all, I want to meet my family who though I died.

And I just wonder.

I wish I could go back to Japan.

Even I, who was in a privileged situation as a prince of a great power, thought so.

Everyone except me must have had a stronger feeling.

Kudo-san's appearance clearly shows that.

Being confined to this elf village and living a life without any freedom.

It may be natural for all of them to want to go back to Japan.

"Sino" Breaking the silence, Fei called Kusama tied up in a low voice.

By the way, Fei called Kusama Shino and remembers that he often used it for Pasiri.

However, the voice that makes you feel hostile, which is different from the familiar call at that time.

"What?" "Is there really no way to go back to Japan?"

To that question, Kudo-san raised his face as if he was surprised.

"Isn't the attitude of those guys strange? They're definitely hiding something? And if you really have no way to go home, you wouldn't talk about that in the first place?" Fei's words, full of conviction, focus the eyes of everyone who was there.

Kusama was frightened by everyone's looks, flirted, and Ogi, who was tied up with him, made a disgusting face.

"I don't know! I don't know! Really! Seriously! I really don't know anything!" Kusama desperately excuses.

It doesn't look like you're lying.

However, perhaps he couldn't give up his hopes, Kudo-san rushed to Kusama, grabbed his shoulder and shook.

"Hey, tell me if you know anything! Please!" "I really don't know! If I could go home, I would go home and read the rest of the comics!" Kusama declares that she wants to go back to Japan for some reason, but the tone is urgent.

Rather than for the reason I want to go home, I feel like I was pushed by the power of Kudo-san.

"Calm down, chairman. You know Kusama. Let's be a little calm?" Tagawa gently pulls Kudo-san away from Kusama as if to intervene.

"You don't know because you were outside! How did we feel when we lived here! For you who had a fun adventure!" Kudo-san, who I know, can't think of it.

" ?? " However, it seemed to touch Tagawa's reverse scales.

"A fun adventure? It's a fun adventure that you've been fighting with blood and vomiting to see your parents and siblings getting killed!?" Unpalatable!

"Tagawa! Suppress!"

I rushed to Tagawa and slammed him from behind.

Otherwise, it would have been a momentum to hit Kudo-san.

Kusama, who had escaped from the rope before he knew it, also came forward to protect Kudo-san.

"Ah..." Behind the grass, Kudo-san was intimidated by Tagawa and sank with a blue face.

I don't think the complexion was just intimidating.

"... I'm sorry. I got blood in my head. It's okay. Let it go." Tagawa seemed to have regained his composure after adjusting his angry and disturbed breathing.

I believe in that word and untie my arms.

When Tagawa glanced at Kudo-san one by one, she silently returned her heels and went up the stairs and left the room.

"Ah ... I'm sorry ..." Kudo-san speaks an apology to Tagawa, who is small and no longer there.

Instead of sitting on the floor and standing up, she just looks down.

Her body trembled and heard a sobbing voice.

Also, heavy air fills up.

I though Kudo-san is in bad situation earlier.

But I didn't know that Tagawa had been fighting in such a situation, and I touched it insensitively.

Not only Kudo-san was shocked by Tagawa's words, but the boys who said that they longed for adventure were also awkward.

Although I didn't know, Kudo-san who carelessly touched Tagawa's reverse scale is bad.

However, I don't feel like blaming him.

"Which one was better, or is it meaningless to talk about that?" Unintentionally, the words Kyoya said earlier leaked out of my mouth.

At that time, I was repulsed by the words that followed, but this part may be true.

Everyone has taken different paths.

It is natural that there are different pains there.

It can't be helped to brag about unhappiness.

No matter what, the past cannot be changed.

We must look to the future, not the past.

"Chairman. We are already dead" We died once and were reborn in this world.

The past does not change.

"I'm dead. We're here now, even if we have memories of our previous lives, they're not the same. We're reborn. We're changing." The chairman turns her crying face toward us.

The line of sight contains the embarrassment of what she's saying now and some annoyance.

"Even if we can go back to Japan, we are different people and there is no place to go back." The chairman was breathtaking.

Even the chairman must have known it in her head.

I just don't want to admit it.

Our appearance does not look like the previous life.

Some people, like Katia, have even changed their gender.

It's not the same anymore.

Even if I go to Japan in this form, there is no place to return.

Because we are already inhabitants of this world.

"Let's think about the future. What do you want to do? What should I do?" Having said that, I wonder what I can do.

I couldn't do anything after all.

I don't know what to do to succeed Julius.

What should I do from now on?

"Huh! As expected, the brave man is different." There was a man who opened the door and stepped into this house when he was about to be caught in a whirlpool of thought.

"Hugo ..." It was Zhang himself who led the Imperial Army and attacked this elf village.

"Don't call me by that name. My name is Kengo Natsume."

The man, Hugo, no, Natsume walked steadily without trying to hide his sullenness, and sat down in the chair where Tagawa had been sitting.

"Natsume, what did you come here to?" While I was wondering how to cut out against Natsume, Fei exposed his hostility and asked.

"Hey. Welcome a little." "Which mouth is your mouth?" Fei says and takes a position behind Natsume.

If Natsume makes a bad move, it will be immediately suppressed.

"Isn't it okay? I came all the way to laugh at you." I felt uncomfortable with the wording.

Fei seems to be the same as me, and is suspiciously looking at Natsume.

There, for the first time, I noticed that Natsume's eyes were empty.

Natsume's eyes were always glaring, but this is the first time I've seen it.

"Laugh. It's a stupid thing that made me messed up because I was alive after being used well, right?" Natsume tries to ridicule herself.

I was completely confused by the appearance.

It's not like Natsume until now.

"... What happened to you?" Fei is also wondering if there is something he thinks about Natsume's attitude.

"... I'm getting better." Natsume said so as if he was tired.

"No, it was okay from the beginning. Yamada, did you just say we were dead?" "Ah" Did you hear it?

"That's right. We're dead. And you accepted it and started a second life. I couldn't accept it and rotted. That's it." I was stunned.

From that Natsume's mouth, the day will come when I hear the words that I'm rotten.

No, because Natsume was always high-pressure and looked down on others.

And I think he was such a selfish guy who was always overconfident and seemed to be right in everything he did.

That's what it is ...

"Natsume, then, are you going to say that you've done everything up until now...?" "That's right." While I was confused, Fei, who had a connection with Natsume more than me in the previous life, reveals his heart.

A lie, right? Did you get burned?

The feeling of being unbelievable, the feeling of being disappointed, and the contradictory feelings come to my heart.

The reason I fell in love with it is that Hugo in this world and Natsume in the previous life are so different.

Natsume of the previous life was a so-called positive character, and although there were some places where the air could not be read, he was not a bad guy.

I haven't been good at Natsume since I was in my previous life, not because Natsume was a bad guy, but because I didn't feel like the guigui that was peculiar to Yoka.

It's just that I had a one-sided weakness in Natsume.

That Natsume was a fine tyrant in this world.

Even in my previous life, I felt like he was running without listening to people's opinions, but it wasn't as bad as it is now.

It's true that he wasn't the one who really killed people.

Reincarnated and changed.

That was what I felt before the feud became decisive.

So it may be natural to think that there is some reason for that change.

However, it was unbelievable and unconvincing that the reason was that it was disappointing.

Cause would be so?

I was about to be killed by Natsume.

Furthermore, with that power, he brainwashed Katia, Sue, and Yuri, killed my father, the King, and caused confusion in the kingdom.

We came here because we got the information that Natsume would lead the Imperial Army to attack this elf village.

It seems that Natsume was only used by the demon army for that, but it's too bad to do it.

But the reason is that it's messed up?

"Are you playing around ...!" Was my father killed for such a silly reason !?

Sue was brainwashed and shot her father.

Yuri, who was also brainwashed and attacked the elf village with the Imperial Army.

Besides that, how much do you think you have trampled on human feelings?

How many victims do you think have happened !?

You can't be convinced that the reason is that you're burnt !?

Although I was about to hit him in a hurry, I remembered the previous exchanges with Kyoya and Tagawa and suppressed myself.

It was because I thought it was wrong for me to do something here, even though Kyoya gave me a high theory and I was fiercely holding down Tagawa.

Exhale a lot and get angry with it.

"Why isn't it coming?

"... I tell you, I didn't forgive you. I'm sure I'll be punished and compensated for the sins I've committed. If I hit here now, it's not punishment. Just clears up. " "Why don't you do it? If that makes you feel better, do it." ... Really, Natsume doesn't really care about anything anymore.

If it was Natsume before, I wouldn't have said that I should hit myself.

"No. I won't do it." If Natsume was lynched here, he would deny many of the words he had given to Kyoya.

"Cook. Ama-chan, hey." Natsume laughs at me when I see this, and I get angry, which is almost murderous, but I have to put up with it.

"Well, I'll do what you say. I'll take whatever punishment it is." It's a special victory if you just listen to the words, but it's not because you reflected on it.

I really don't care about Natsume.

Maybe even living.

Speaking of killing me, I was likely to accept it.

"... Hey, maybe you were brainwashed, didn't you?" Fei said that when I was hatefully staring at Natsume.

What is Fei saying?

Brainwashing is like a proprietary patent for skills with Natsume's jealousy.

How was that Natsume got brainwashed?

When I checked Natsume's status, I hadn't had such an abnormality, and it's a little hard to think of.

"You saw me. Yesterday at the battle yesterday, when Wakaba grabbed Natsume's head, From Natsume's ears came out like a tiny spider." I was a little scared to hear that.

Natsume, who was told, also put her hand on her ear and made her complexion a little pale.

"Oh, oh. Maybe that's the case. Ears? Seriously. I knew I was being messed up, but my ears ...

I wonder if I was physically inside. Hey ..." With that said, Natsume puts her finger in her ear and picks it up.

I don't think I can take it out even if something is in the back of my ear when I do that, but I think I did so.

I don't know how I feel.

If I heard something in my ears, I would have done the same even if I knew it was useless.

But then, does Natsume's behavior up to now have been manipulated?

If so ...

"I tell you, you don't feel sympathy because you've been manipulated, right?" "No, but ..." "The first time I tried to kill you was even before I was manipulated. Even after I was manipulated, I thought I'd kill you on my own will. No lie there." That said, I was shocked more than I expected.

I wondered if my ex-classmates had such a murderous intention regardless of whether they were being manipulated.

"Then you were rampaging for selfish reasons because you were sick?"

"That's it" "So, the reason I said this with the feeling of accepting that responsibility now is because the brainwashing was solved and everything became irrelevant?" "Are you saying that?" "Hmm. I see." With that said, Fei puts his hands on Natsume's shoulders from behind and flips Natsume's body.

and, "Hmm!" "Oh !?" I hit my belly.

Natsume falls off the chair while holding down her beaten belly.

"Hmm. It was refreshing!" What did I put up with ...

Fei executed a lynching just because he had nothing to do with it.

"Hey" "It's okay, it's okay. He said we should hit him. This is also part of the punishment." I saw Fei's smile, which had always been moody.

"I've decided. You'll be my servant for the rest of your life. Don't complain no matter what you do. OK?" "little by little..." This guy said something amazing.

"... Oh, that's okay." And does Natsume accept it?

... Maybe Natsume herself feels a little guilty about us.

"Is that all right for Yuri?" "Huh?" When I turned around with Fei's words, Yuri was walking with a girl in white costume of the demon army.

I did not notice.

As was the case when Natsume appeared, the sense of caution around him or something like that has been neglected.

"Yes, yeah, yes. To be honest, it's better to have a more miserable punishment, but if you slowly enjoy the things that make you think it's better to die ... Fufu, Fufufu!" "Yu, Yuri? Are you okay?" "Yes, it's okay. Is it okay? It's okay." The mouth is arcuate, but the eyes are not laughing.

"Are you hitting one shot for the time being?" Fei forces Natsume, who was stuck on the floor, to sit in a chair and proposes to Yuri.

"Yes" While answering it immediately, I had already jumped into Natsume's bosom and was angry.

"Oh !?" Natsume collapses from the chair again.

If you think about what you've done, this is a lukewarm punishment, but even so, the public executions that the classmates of the previous life are staring at are quite physical and mental. Is it?

"Finally Katia?" "No, I should refrain from ..." Katia refused with a slight pull.

Katia is also one of the victims who had been brainwashed in Natsume, so she has the right to impose sanctions here.

However, it seems that he didn't feel like going further after seeing this tragedy.

Natsume, blood is bleeding from his mouth ...

Having received this damage in Natsume's status probably means that both Fei and Yuri were mercilessly hit with all their might.

All the reincarnated people who were confined in the elf village that lived without violence are pulling.

Still, I didn't say anything to this tragedy because I had told him in advance what Natsume had done.

The boy should have been on good terms with Natsume, but he has tolerated our actions.

Thinking so far, I realized that I had been blaming Wakaba-san for imposing my opinion.

Negishi-san, I can understand that she said Sophia now, or why she quietly silenced me.

I'm no good.

Various things are too bad.

I should thank Wakaba-san for rounding up today's discussions to give me time to think before I get more emotional.

"I have to take Sue-chan's part." Fei's bright voice reminded me that I had to ask Natsume about Sue.

Sue didn't seem to come to this elf village with the Imperial Army.

I have to check Natsume what Sue is doing now.

"Natsume, where is Sue? What are you doing now?" "Oh, that girl" Natsume stands up and sits back in his chair, though he seems to be suffering.

"But he's a friend of the Demon army? He wasn't brainwashed, he must have been willing to cooperate with them." "Huh?" "Don't forget" Fei sullenly shook his eyebrows, and I also glared at Natsume with an unpleasant sensation.

When I shot my father, Sue's status clearly showed an abnormal condition that was brainwashed in Natsume.

Are you going to escape it now?

"That's true. I brainwashed him only when he shot the king. After that, I released it." "...What does it mean?" "That's why you say that? Your sister is willing to cooperate with them. The reason I was brainwashed when she killed the king was that she shouldn't be killing father, I was ordered by Wakaba. I just did it. Other than that time, I didn't really brainwash. " I look at Katia and Fei.

Both Katia and Fei were confused.

Will Natsume lie over this period?

I set aside whether it is necessary or not, and Natsume's appearance does not seem to lie.

It feels like telling the facts as they are.

"Same as Natsume, have you been brainwashed directly by Wakaba-san?" Katia comes up with a possible idea.

"How about that?" "Come on. I knew that I was brainwashed after I was released. Even if he was brainwashed, I wouldn't know." "Is that so?" "But maybe you haven't been brainwashed, right?" "why?" "I was willing to cooperate a while ago, but to be precise, I felt threatened and disgusted." "Are you threatened?" I'm surprised at Natsume's words.

Did Wakaba and his friends threaten Sue to cooperate?

"Oh yeah. I wonder what ypur life will be." Natsume says so while pointing at me.

"me?" "Oh. I've been marked by Wakaba-san for a long time." "why...?" I was wondering.

However, if you ask me, there is a part that falls into my head.

From the time I was attending school, I felt that Sue's appearance was strange, and major movements such as the overthrow of the kingdom using Natsume and cooperation with Word-God religion have been concentrated recently, but it took many years to prepare. Not strange.

On the contrary, the calculation will not fit unless it takes many years to prepare.

However, even if I knew that, I don't understand why Wakaba-san and her friends were marking me.

Is it because I'm the Hero?

No, it was only recently that I became a hero.

I think that Wakaba-san had been moving before that, but Julius should still be alive at that time.

... Maybe because I'm Julius' younger brother?

Did she mark me with a view to hostages as one of the countermeasures against Julius?

Then, did you threaten Sue with it as a shield?

... It makes sense, but it's just speculation.

The only way to know the truth is to ask Sue or ask Wakaba-san directly.

"Anyway, is Sue safe?" For the time being, shelve the problem and confirm only Sue's safety.

"Oh. I was wondering if I was up to this point, but I was sent somewhere just before. I don't know where I was." I turned my gaze to Yuri.

Yuri must have been acting with Sue halfway like Natsume.

"I'm sorry. Where did Sue go ..." "Really..." Sue's destination must also be asked to Wakaba-san.

"I think there are still many things I have to ask Wakaba-san." "That's right. I have to talk more." "Discuss, hey ..." Natsume muttered meaningfully as Katia and I nodded each other.

Natsume staring at us seemed to be amazed.

"what?" "No. I just thought I lost to these sweets." "Hmm!" "Gut !?" The next moment Natsume said, Fei's fist was swung down on his head.

Natsume didn't fall off the chair, maybe this time.

"Don't talk cheeky?" Natsume didn't complain, even though she looked down on Fei.

I understand from that attitude that the word to accept as punishment is serious.

"What do you mean?" I ask Natsume again.

"... You don't think it's over, right?" "What do you mean?" I will return the same words to Natsume's statement.

"It's about Wakaba-san." Natsume, who was somewhat lazy, stared straight at me with a serious look.

"Don't you understand? Or are you looking away? You're a Hero, and Wakaba-san is with demon army?" that is....

I'm stuck in words.

It may be unavoidable to be told that you are looking away from Natsume.

The demons are the enemy of the human race.

And Wakaba-san is also the killer of Julius' brother.

"Do you think they will withdraw and return to the demon territory just by destroying the elves?" No one can say back to Natsume, and she calms down.

"I wasn't told what they were trying to do, because I was a thrown away piece, but I'm sure they're trying to do something. The proof is the Seven Deadly Sins Skills and the Seven Virtue Skills. It seems that I need a key and something to be exact. I also give that key and something to them. " "Key?" "Oh, I don't know how to use it, right? But I think you know, they know a lot about this world.

You know what we don't know." That's right.

Contraindications, because I've only finally learned what they are today.

Yes, let me reveal the taboo details here.

... Yuri's reaction is a little scary.

"About that, maybe Wakaba's source is a taboo skill." "Taboo?"

After all, Yuri was the first to react to my words.

In Word-God religion, those with taboo skills have been executed without question and answer.

But I knew the reason by counter-stopping the contraindications.

"Actually, I made the taboo skill a counter stop, because the disadvantage of the mercy skill was that the taboo skill level increased with each use." Yuri's eyes are wide open.

"The content of the taboo skill was the disclosure of information. The origin of this world." I keep saying while controlling Yuri by hand.

"Information disclosure?" "Oh, it's like supporting Wakaba-san's words." When affirmed, Katia nodded as if convinced.

"But then why did Word-God religion execute taboo skill holders?" Katia asks a question while looking at Yuri.

"that is..." Is it okay to say?

I was worried for a moment, but anyway, if I asked Wakaba-san and others, it would be clear.

"It's not just the elves that are dying this world, but rather the people who lived in it." From there I told him the information I learned from the contraindications.

The world is about to perish because the people of this world have wasted what is called MA energy.

The price is that people in this world continue to reincarnate in the same world, recovering the skills and stats they trained in their lifetime and turning them into star regeneration.

"I see. That's why Word-God religion has to kill taboo skill holders ..." "For the people of this world, it's like they're guilty of themselves. I think they've taken such steps to prevent this fact from spreading." "Does that mean that Word-God pontiff also knew the content of the contraindications and cooperated with Wakaba-san?" "Maybe. Natsume. Did you use the power of brainwashing against Word-God religion?" "No"

"It's decided. Is that so?" I stare at Kusama and Ogi who are tied up.

"Ah, well, that kind of feeling?" Kusama affirmed as he had thought.

"Eh? Eh? Eh?" Yuri is listening to us and holding her head.

The divine religion that I have believed so far.

The doctrine and philosophy may have been overturned and confused.

For Yuri, who was obsessed with divine religion, the story may have been unacceptable.

Immediately after Natsume's brainwashing was unraveled, She would have been mentally unstable. Shouldn't it be revealed at this time?

"That's it for today. I and everyone want time to sort out their thoughts." Not only Yuri, but Kudo-san and everyone else would like to have time to think about various things.

Time to organize your feelings.

"Let's hear more from Wakaba-san after tomorrow. What will Wakaba-san do in the future?

Whether you ride it or warp it, it doesn't start without listening." I don't know how Wakaba-san will behave.

Wakaba and her colleagues have a strong impression that they do not choose any means, including the case where even Natsume was brainwashed.

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

You need to know that.

Its purpose and means.

The reason for destroying the elves was understandable.

But that means is at the expense of the Imperial Army.

Not only that, but before that, the king's father was killed, and the kingdom is still in a state of civil war.

Before that, many victims were killed by the great offensive of the demons.

Julius brother ...

Wakaba's movements are too damaging.

If you continue to move to expand the damage ...

Even if the purpose was sublime, I ...

But what can I do?

"Redemption" The curse that echoes in my head all the time I felt that the voice became louder.

When you become bearish, your consciousness is likely to be dragged.

"Redemption" noisy!

What and why are we redeeming?

What on earth did we do!

"Shun?" Katia worriedly calls out to me, perhaps because she felt something wrong with me.

"Nothing. I was just thinking about what to do from now on." I'm not lying.

In fact, I have no idea what to do from now on.

There are also a lot of things that get confused and my head is messy and I can't get my thoughts together.

However, it may be a nice expression to be at a loss more than that.

So far, I've been acting in my own way.

But did that really make sense?

Brother Julius died, his father was killed in front of me, Sue was forced to kill his father because of Natsume, and the kingdom fell.

Even though I came to this elf village to stop Natsume, I fell down without being able to do anything, and after all Natsume was told that Wakaba-san was using him.

A huge stream has been created in a place I didn't know.

I think that my actions so far have been moving by my own will, and in fact I feel like I was just swallowed by the huge flow.

What on earth should I do?

In the first place, can I even do something against Wakaba-san?

I don't feel like I can.

Even a while ago, I could only crawl on the floor like no other without any resistance.

"Redemption" Shake your head to drive away the bears and curses.

Even so, the curse does not stop ringing.

Still, I have no choice but to pretend to be inaudible.

"Shun. Are you really okay? You look pale." "Oh. It seems that I'm not in the right position yet. I'll go back to my room and take a rest.

Let's cool down a little and think about what to do in the future." I return to Katia, who is worried, and move her legs to return to the room.

Wasn't the current answer strange?

The curse makes me emotional.

Communication with Kyoya should have been easier.

Even Kyoya might have had a situation, but he got emotional and slammed his opinion.

Next time, let's talk properly with just two people.

The opportunity did not come.

The world moves faster than I think, without even thinking about it.

As if everything rolls from bad to bad.

(I'm sorry guys, I haven't edited any further)
