NEETS
Chapter 38: Return of Memory

it had already been a few days after our fight on the snow mountain, and now it was no longer covered in snow.

the city began to build again, starting from building several houses and also other buildings.

but strangely the plague did not disappear even though Azazel was defeated. I am still confused what causes this outbreak? and in these few days I am still curious.

this morning I woke up as usual.I immediately prepared and headed outside the palace to help with the construction of the city again.

there was Gilgamesh who was lifting the blocks of wood which were quite large.

well, with such a large body it would be very easy to carry large woods.

"hey Blank. you slacker at this hour just woke up." said Gilgamesh.

"yes, I'm going to work soon."

I also helped bring some wood and also building materials to collect to the house that was being built.

this time what we rebuilt is the health center building of this city.

I did not help the construction process too much, because almost all the process is done by a reliable builder.

while I was putting together the bricks. Gilgamesh saw my face, he showed me a face that showed pity.

"Blank. Your face is getting pale. Are you okay?" ask Gilgamesh.

"yes, I'm fine. I just haven't eaten this morning."

for some reason after the fight against Azazel, I couldn't taste the food.

I realized this while celebrating our victory party.it was a lot of food.people ate the food voraciously.

but I couldn't feel anything, because I thought it was weird. I checked this out with a doctor in town.

the doctor said it may just be the effect of the body's recovery from the fight.

I'm a little relieved to hear that statement, but somehow the more here it gets worse.

more and more days.the taste of ordinary food is getting disgusting.even these few days I have not eaten at all.Maybe that's what makes my face pale.

and what's weird is that when I'm in a crowd of people, I smell really good and good from them, sometimes it makes me feel lulled and want to bite them. yet I held back that desire even occasionally to the point of cold sweat.

"Blank... Blanks... Blank!!" shouts Gilgamesh

"uh, what?"

"you're daydreaming again, man.What's wrong?" ask Gilgamesh

"ti, no. I was just thinking about Thena. Has she come out of her room yet?"

the morning after the fight Thena locked herself in her room.We tried to persuade her, but she only said that she wanted to be alone for a while.

but I think it's been too long, too, and about confinement in this room somehow feels familiar to me.

like I've experienced something similar, but I don't know where.

in the afternoon after helping the citizens I returned to the palace my stomach was getting hungry, but I could not eat anything.

the curious me that afternoon also went to see Thena in her room.when I was in front of Thena's room.

"tock, tock, tock."

I knocked on Thena's room but there was no answer. I knocked her back a little hard and still no answer.

the account started to feel strange about this. I kept knocking and knocking but still there was no answer.

for fear that I might break that door.

"BRAKE!!"

the door to Thena's room slammed very hard because of my kick. When I entered Thena's room, the room was rather dark and dim.

there was the dear Thena sitting with her long and messy hair.

"Thena? you all right?"

as I approached him he continued to mutter.

"don't. please don't come any closer. Just stay away from me. I don't want to hear it anymore. My family can't be like that... get away from me. Get away from me."

yes "away from me" the words continued to be uttered by Thena in a very frightened tone, as if someone continued to whisper strange words in her head.

even he seemed to be unaware of me even though I broke the door down hard.

I tried to touch Thena, but Thena quickly pulled me over. I fell into Thena's bed.

Thena then hugged me tightly and was unwilling to let go. Thena's body trembled and was frightened.

"help me blank"

whispered Thena in my ear, her voice so weak and a little hoarse.

"actually what happened to you Thena?"

"i. i..."

yet Thena suddenly explained that her spear of light penetrated my body.Fresh blood flowed from behind my clothes even to the clothes of Thena. Thena kicked me right away until I got thrown out of Thena's bed.

with the spear of light still stuck in my chest I tried to stand up.

but not long after Thena stood up from her bed and then walked towards me. Hawa was not like Thena I knew. looked like everyone else.

I used the power of my eyes and sure enough in her status she was no longer Thena.

"Azazel" was written in his caption.

though I thought the three of us had already defeated him, but why would he be in Thena's body?.

"let me explain it, miss.You sleep in this body for a while" Azazel said.

"Azazeeell!! wh why? why are you controlling Thena's body?." I said.

I pulled out the spear of light that was in my body and directly shined it at Azazel.

but I stopped the attack immediately.

"why? you don't dare attack this body because this body is your friend's body?"

I dropped the spear of light and just gave up.

"all right I lost, so what's your goal Azazel."

"your body" said azazel

"what's my body?" much

what does Azazel want from my body? what is special about my body, oh yes my body can regenerate? but is that all?

"what do you want from my body?" my many.

"well, I'll tell you who you really are. Blank, or can I say Arya, the genius gamer R."

"uh.. what?"

Azazel who was still using Thena's body started telling me. I still can't believe the story.

Azazel said I am not of this world. Azazel didn't know what the details were, because he said he could only see my memories vaguely.

but she knew that I had met someone she hated too. someone with blue hair and a golden armour.

Azazel said that it was the man who erased my memories, and also the one who had locked up the huge body of Azazel that I was fighting against. under the snowy mountain ground.

"i don't trust you Azazel" I said.

Azazel who was controlling Thena's body then approached me and held my head. A magic circle appeared before my eyes and instantly.

the memory made my head hurt.Azazel took his hand off my head shortly, but I still groaned in pain.

yes, Azazel was right.he did not lie.I am known as the genius gamer R.

but what is my purpose in this world? even the people I've met I don't know?

"and who are you Azazel?."

Azazel also told me if he was usually called a god of destruction, but that does not mean he will willingly destroy the world.

indeed, he has great destructive power and has a curse.

but the power of the curse was only small and it also came from his previous container.

for a great continual curse like the plague in the city he said that it was not for him.

Azazel continued his story that about a hundred years ago he felt something strange in this city, even though the city looks small but there is something very terrible and could threaten the world. in that small town.

he came to this place to destroy the creature, but someone with blue hair and gold armor suddenly appeared.

he said that the golden-armored man was the ruler of this world, and considered Azazel as a barrier.he finally locked Azazel's body in the crystal on the mountain.

but Azazel managed to move the container to the animal and finally reached a robot belonging to a professor.

The professor eventually helps Azazel and then for the rest of his life he makes many robot knight armor to search for Azazel's whereabouts.

when he found his body. Azazel who was inside the body of a small robot was very happy.he returned again to the mountain where he was confined.

but many things have changed.The small town he previously stopped in now became a fairly large city.but he still felt.

as well as the crystals that confine Azazel can only be destroyed with the power of the sun, so it takes a lot of processes to date.

"what makes you feel so strange in this town?" much

"hey, you have the power of a Libra eye, right? should you be able to sense the existence of that creature.or maybe the strength of your eyes is still weak?"

"tell me more exactly where that monstrous creature you mean is?" ask again.

Azazel simply pointed down at the floor of the palace.

is it possible under the ground of this palace? you see, if I remember any more, there was a strange room sealed in the dungeon room, but I just thought it was just an ordinary room.

when I still thought Azazel who was controlling Thena's body extended his hand to me.

"hey boy, be my container, with the power of both of us, we will destroy the creature."

"what if you lie?"

"i'm not lying, this kingdom is a cover."

but suddenly the tremors occurred.vibrations were quite large and shook the palace, but not to make destruction.

"a, what is it?" I went to Azazel.

"shit. has begun the resurrection process."

Azazel extended his hand again.

"ayo R is no longer there. the creature consumes human life force here. If we do not stop it then he will consume this whole place.even this world"

because I had no choice I immediately grabbed Azazel's hand, more precisely Thena's hand, but Thena's consciousness suddenly returned.

"ja, don't do that Blank"

instantly I stopped my hand.I just remembered why I had to become Azazel's container if I could eat it with my Glutony power.I could use its power and it would be more profitable.

but if I do that I should eat Thena. What about her family later? they'll hate me.

in the meantime I saw Thena in great pain, holding Azazel's rebellious personality in her body.

meanwhile, Thena's scent was so fragrant in my nose, like a high-quality meat steak tickling my nose.

"do Blank. eat me!!!"

"are you sure of Thena?"

"do it!! me, I can't stand all this.."

I resorted to removing Glutony from inside me, a large worm-shaped object ready to swallow anything.

"forgive me Thena."

Thena just answered me with a smile and tears.

I swallowed Thena quickly so as not to inflict pain on her.

during the process of swallowing. Thena said something to me. Just because her words were so slow I didn't know what she was saying.

thena's body I swallowed completely. I also returned Glutony into my body.

for some reason after the swallow my chest felt pain.I felt like I had to lose again.the person who is important to me. I tried to shed tears. but it didn't come out and all I felt was the pain and pain in my chest that was so piercing.

suddenly I heard a man's voice outside Thena's room.

"what are you doing Blank?"

that man is Gilgamesh who is in skinny man mode.he looks so scared to see me. who is actually drenched in my own blood.

"di, where's Thena Blank. Where's my sister?! why are you soaked in blood like that?!. answered me, you fucking asshole!!"

how is this what I have to do. I have swallowed Thena and my body is getting hungry.

when I saw Gilgamesh I wanted to eat him, but I had to hold him back.although my saliva dripped I had to hold him.

"he. he. he. huahahha. again.. I want more... I want to eat people again..!!!"

I laughed out loud in front of Gilgamesh, pretending that I was the villain.

"what is possible.. you.. You have eaten my sister Thena huh?!!"

A very angry Gilgamesh suddenly changed his body to the form of a muscular man again.I did not think even though it was night he could change again.

Gilgamesh attacked me and I avoided him. I jumped past Gilgamesh and I turned my back to him and said to Gilgamesh.

"yes, I ate Thena now that her powers are yours."

"how dare you!!!"

Gilgamesh turned and struck me again.

I quickly used the power of Thena and enveloped my hand with light magic.

I held off Gilgamesh's blow, with my hand wrapped in a protective shield of light, and I struck back Gilgamesh and caused him to bounce off the wall of Thena's room.

unable to withstand his strength at night Gilgamesh changed again to the form of a thin man.I approached him and said.

"you saw, right? it's Thena's power I've swallowed it, but there's a reason I'm doing this."

"a, what is that.?" ask Gilgamesh.

"i can't explain it now. My time is very narrow."

I immediately activated the power of Azazel's Libra eye.The power of this eye is incredible even I can see the flow of mana clearly. and there was one strange mana stream that led down this palace.

"Gil.. You can hate me and take revenge on me for this. If you want the answer find me. I'll explain everything when we meet again someday."

I also used my light steps and moved very quickly towards the direction of the strange mana flow.

from a distance I heard Gilgamesh yelling at me.

"i won't forgive you Blaaank!! I will definitely look for you and find you. After that I will kill you sialaaaaaaaanann!!."

I'm sorry Gilgamesh.I can't explain the situation now.One day when we meet again.I will explain everything to you.

I will also definitely stop the pandemic in your city.
