Tsuki Ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu
Chapter 62: Day ...

“Tomoe, when I came here, you were the first deal I made. But now that I think about it, the effect of the agreement did not affect me too much "(Makoto)

"If I remember correctly, I said it wouldn't be a bad trade" (Tomoe)

Is he pretending to be stupid? Or does he really not remember it too much?

“You guys, who have made an agreement with me, lost their previous form and have improved your overall capacity, that's what I want to say. Then, what about me? ” (Makoto)

When I came here, I made a pact with the dragon with the highest existence whose number was in single digits, the hated black spider that was considered a disaster and also a human that turned into an undead (that goes against my definition of one ), a lich.

Tsuki-sama assured me that my magic power is superior compared to the heroes.

The pact did not affect my body negatively. Only one thing that might be "like that" was the experience I had when I used the fog gate that connected Tsige to Asora.

The memory of others. I think that's Tomoe's power.

Without saying anything more, I turned to the other followers who waited and continued talking.

“Two days ago, I saw someone's memories. There's no doubt about that. Tomoe, do you know anything about that? ” (Makoto)

“Waka is a sinner. I've got some sort of conclusion, do you want to hear it? " (Tomoe)

“Let me confirm. A relationship in power, I know it changes the outward appearance and improves the overall ability of followers. But then, what did the ruler get? This is what I think, he gets special traits from his followers as a whole ”(Makoto)

I can't explain it well. But if I can use Tomoe's power, I might be able to use Mio and Shiki's power as well. I thought it was impossible for humans to use inhuman strength without risk, so that price naturally I got the component, that's what I thought.

In short, the present me has become something that is no longer human, that is what I imagined but…

“Puh” (Tomoe)

“Why are you laughing at Tomoe?” (Macoto)

Now you, not a human anymore, doesn't that have a strong influence? To be honest, this is the most shocking thing since I came to this world, you know? More precisely, this is a case where it might be a betrayal from me, you know?

If they told me, "losing your humanity, is that a big deal?" I'd be surprised.

"Well, I think in these two days you overtake the mountain, but to think that you have made a misunderstanding and are very lost, I just accidentally ... I'm so sorry" (Tomoe)

“I originally threw away my own humanity so that I could understand your sentiments, but being human was definitely a very important thing for Waka-sama. I'll keep it in my heart "(Shiki)

Tomoe and Shiki took a completely opposite reaction from what I expected. Mio seemed like she did not even understand the situation at all.

“That Waka could use my power is, well... at this time, by any chance. This should have originally appeared later on. Waka may be in a state where you cannot control your own emotions. It's embarrassing to say this, but I think it's because a "connection" has been made between you and me "(Tomoe)

C-Connections ?!

Uo! Mio's eyes suddenly looked dangerous. He sits. The glint in his eyes slowly disappeared. This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, okay ?!

"An explanation! Explanation Tomoe! Soon!" (Macoto)

“Hm? Oh, my words must be bad there. What I mean by connection is good, trust between us and our emotional exchange or something like that. By the way, for Waka who became the ruler, receiving a component from their followers is impossible okay? That would make the relationship equal. We are followers, people who have pledged our allegiance. If Waka wants it, you can even use our power to commit fraud. Merely, this power was usually only used by a single existence. To use it, you must get used to it first and gradually You will be able to use it slowly after You realize it. There is an exception in this case. Well, this exception is about what exactly this case "(Tomoe) is

Tomoe's power and everything else huh. Of course, I have never felt that power in my body even once before. Last time too. Tomoe's power just activated by itself without me feeling her ability.

“……”

Mio's behavior seemed to have made a questionable stop ... Might?

Did he decide to listen? Or did he come to a conclusion? Please let it be the first.

“In cases where the master is looking for a way to solve the problem and there is a clear relationship between the belief between the master and the follower; there is a possibility that the power of the follower will manifest in a rampaging state within the master. It can manifest as it is or there may be an opportunity for the master to release it in an optimal capacity. It looks like this time it's like "(Tomoe)

No losses, that's what Tomoe added. It was quite a harsh experience, but he told me that there were no losses? There is no consumption of magic power. It resembles when I use [Sakai]. There is no doubt that it used my magic power as an intermediary. That's the difference between [Sakai].

"Believe and rage yes" (Makoto)

Does that mean I trust Tomoe on some level? Well, he was my first follower, the first one to make a deal with me. I approved of him in my heart. Maybe that's the problem.

Tomoe seems happy because I can realize her power. That's, to be honest, very unpleasant, you know ?! I can let go of my emotions when I can let go. Did you tell me that from now on there is a chance this will be active many times?

When can I consciously control it?

“Yes, believe! Trust Waka. It's great, seeing that you used my powers first! With this, my position as the first follower will be even more solid! ” (Tomoe)

The part that matters, is what Tomoe repeats. His face had a healthy smile. Ah, Mio is…

"... Just a coincidence" (Mio)

“Hm? Is that Mio? I can't hear you ~ "(Tomoe)

Tomoe, stop.

“... This time it just so happened that memories flowed inside him! Waka-sama is amazing, if there is a moment where he is on the verge of death, he will definitely activate my power and heal himself! It was just a coincidence, just a coincidence !! Only that-desu wa! ” (Mio)

Don't hurt me just like that! The healing [Sakai] didn't work on me, you know ?! I will die if I receive such severe injuries! Ah, but if I can use Mio's regeneration ability, it must be fine right? But if activated under optimal conditions, there is a possibility that different abilities will be born ...

This is a bet I don't want to make. I will make sure to have someone close who can heal me when I am injured.

“Yeah yeah, you're right-ja na, coincidence-ja na. It's like Mio say-ja ”(Tomoe)

A face full of excitement, maybe that's what you call it. Mio is, well.Oni or Hannya *. It seems that she flows with the urge to eat it and the embarrassment, but more than that, she seems to dislike Tomoe's attitude. She looked like she was almost headed to the face of rape.

If possible, this is the part where I want Shiki to come and stop them but. There was the fact that he was still a newcomer and he was quite tame on his two senpai, or rather, he was bullied by them. I just hope they don't do anything bad to him.

“Fu. You can't even use your katana well and you're just making a fuss about things like Edo or Samurai. Maybe normal language doesn't spread to Tomoe-san anymore? ” (Mio)

“... Hoh ~. Mio, is the number two person planning to fight the number one? I made a bond with Waka, you know? Isn't our status clearly on a different level? ” (Tomoe)

Bond you say, it's overkill there.

“A-I also exchanged fists with Waka-sama at full strength and have exchanged our blood, blood-de ties from masu!” (Mio)

Mio, it's different from a bond. By the way, you just sucked my blood one-sidedly.

“Ha. That kind of experience, even I have one. The relationship where we suffered and pierced each other strongly! Being trampled one-sided, Shiki could do that as well. First of all, Mio is.. ”.

I just attacked you with [Brid] right ?!

“We're not talking about a bloated Lich, Shiki. By carefully saying things like bonding and connection, you should learn politeness. First of all, Tomoe is ... "(Mio)

I-inflated. How cruel. Besides, isn't that something you made him do?

Hah ~. They said this and that about the time we met, and they said this and that about the time I came to this world. In short, it ended in a casual quarrel.

Although the important thing I wanted to say came after. Things got heated up, and it felt like it would last quite a while.

There's no choice. I have to tell Shiki first. Shiki seems to have received damage from the stray bullets they threw in the altercation. He looked at someone who said, "This doesn't mean there's anything precious in me ..."

This is something I personally think about but, I feel Lich has a lot of potential in him.

Well, for now…

I will turn off two noisy sounds with [Sakai]. Umu, this is comfortable.

“Let's put both of them aside. Shiki, I have decided which direction I should take "(Makoto)

“Uh. Can I be the first to hear it? ” (Shiki)

D-He was very negative.

“Yes, to me, Tomoe, Mio and Shiki; are all valuable colleagues and family "(Makoto)

“...” (Shiki)

Shiki seemed to hear something unexpected. His eyes are wide open. It was a very far word from the concept of our pact, so I can't blame him for that. We are bound by a powerful pact.

Geez, despite her cool, tall, intelligent appearance, her eyes told me about her lack of confidence. It's too unbalanced.

“Depending on what happens after I return to Tsige, I will prepare myself to go to Academy City a few days after. I'll tell you in detail about the company at a later time. I am interested in learning how to hyuman. I'll ask everyone to take care of things about Tsige "(Makoto)

“Are you planning to go there alone?” (Germany)

“No, I'll go with Shiki. Two men, let's go quietly "(Makoto)

“D-With me ?! No, no, shouldn't you go with Tomoe-dono or Mio-dono ?! More precisely, if such a thing happens.. I do not have the confidence to stick with all my limbs ”(Shiki).

How much did they threaten you Shiki?

Shiki who is changing and panicking is funny, but she is definitely not kidding. Both ... There is a need to train them in how to treat juniors. Let's put their tails between their legs in two days.

“We will meet in Asora. Then it would be more efficient if Tomoe and I acted independently. Tomoe and I are the only ones who can open the gate. In addition, Tomoe's modus operandi is to create problems and then enter a time of reflection. Shiki, you look like a researcher, so I feel like you can follow the trend and make countermeasures. After all, you are a hyuman, so I feel you have more common sense than them ”(Makoto)

When I put in half of what I said, I lower my tone.

It was also like that when I fought with Mio. The Forest Giant as well.

Moreover, both Tomoe and Mio destroyed the entire base.

"It looks like Waka-sama experienced a lot of things huh" (Shiki)

"Well that's it. You also have to prepare yourself Shiki, the future will be difficult ”(Makoto)

“…”

"In the end, I want you to be able to stop the fight of both of them in one blow" (Makoto)

This was already at a level where one could not tell if they were actually communicating. None of them raised their hands. Maybe there is a rule where the first one to attack loses? Well, nobody gets hurt so that's good.

'Oi you, what are you saying?' is what Lich's eyes tell me with a serious face.

“You have healing magic so you'll be fine right?” (Macoto)

“I will be showered with a combo of millions of bullets and become redundant. There is no point in healing. I can't do it. Impossible. I'm going to die ”(Shiki)

Shiki begged me with teary eyes. If he received so much damage with just stray bullets, it would be difficult for him to fight them huh.

"But I was planning on having Shiki tell them about individual mobilization" (Makoto)

“?? !!” (Germany)

“I want the two of them to head north of Tsige, towards the sea. There is no doubt that Tomoe will start talking about sea products or anything in the near future. Thinking about the kidnapping of adventurers in the desert and the relationship between the Rembrandt Company, I felt that having Tomoe on the outskirts of Tsige was more convenient "(Makoto)

He was unexpectedly good at negotiating even with how he really was. He was a skilled person, just like a general who had all the As in his ability.

"W-Is it okay to take Mio with us?" (Germany)

“Mio yes. If I had to say, I really wanted to take her with me. But I think only Tomoe did all the work that was too pathetic. We'll be able to see each other every week, so in that case, I want her to learn away from me "(Makoto)

Shiki, why are you putting on a face like the apocalypse? I don't think that Mio will be able to do everything skillfully like Tomoe, but I want her to learn and be able to do things.

"Wa-Waka-sama" (German)

“Ah, too, don't call me Waka-sama when we arrive at Academy City. Call me Raidou please "(Makoto)

“Please... is it true that I will tell them all this?” (Germany)

"of course. I have to go to Tsige now and talk to Rembrandt-san. We had all the trouble of making him lend us an area, for suddenly his master disappeared, it was too impolite. I want to at least do my greetings correctly "(Makoto)

"To think that this was the first thing I would do with the new life given to me ... I may not be able to return from this ..." (Germany)

I decided to ignore the monologue. Now that I remember, Lich said something about him as a tall undead that had elements similar to spirits. Like darkness, fire; he has control over many elements or so I think.

I can't imagine it. In the spirit part too. That's beyond the definition I have. The only thing that was true about him, it seemed to be the part that if his magic power dried up, he would disappear completely.

“Then I count on you. I'll go now "(Makoto)

—-

As of…

I decided to go to Academy Town.

I also have a goal to start mobilizing my company seriously. I also thought that there was an opportunity to find information about my parents at a knowledge gathering place.

But my real purpose is different.

What triggered me to do this as quickly as possible, was the memory of the woman I killed.

This world was being managed by that Goddess, so I thought it was obvious this world was strange. But now, that excuse was not enough anymore. I'd like to know. About this world, about hyumans, the religious views they take about Goddesses, their teachings, demi-humans, demon races, Graunts, about other worlds.

That's why, even in states where the business I have in Asora and Tsige is incomplete, I still decided to leave.

Fortunately, or rather, Rembrandt-san had his eyes wide open and a surprised face but he immediately supported my decision. Though I went to his residence with the intention of learning a lot from my great senpai. This was something I would normally never do, but ended up being very anti-climate.

I felt they had set up some kind of trap, but I didn't think that I could get information from an experienced person like him or his butler. And [Sakai's] search and examination couldn't read minds, so it was useless.

For some reason, he had even prepared application-related documents for Academy City, they must have some sort of plan of their own somewhere. Even if I have experience in killing someone, I still believe in them to some extent. Because I saw his face when his family fell ill with a curse disease. I think these people are different.

Receiving Academy Town documents from Rembrandt-san and his recommendation note, I bowed my head. I don't think he'll write a recommendation. I thought he was just an influential merchant in the remote Tsige, but he might be someone more important than I thought.

With a feeling of gratitude, I finally took off the mask in front of the two of them. It was something I had prepared. It was something I wore to myself because of the circumstances.

The first time they saw my face, as expected, it definitely fell into the category of a very bad print in their perspective, they looked at me with pitiful eyes. But I can only smile wryly hearing this. Because to me, you're all weird.

They told me that "People will get used to it in time, so don't worry" and other cruel things as well. Even so, perhaps because his rejection had increased when his family changed their appearance, Rembrandt-san interacted with me in a fairly normal way.

In the end, he did not allow me to meet his wife and daughter, but it went well.

I was able to leave the Rembrandt residence with peace of mind. I really should thank him. In time, I should prioritize him when I plan on spreading Asora's article for real.

The only one left now was Asora. Or more like, Tomoe and Mio.

After I left, it seemed that Shiki told them and, as expected (Sorry Shiki), it became very rude.

Shiki became very nervous. To the point that I felt her body transparent and I could see something coming out of her mouth.

The things I have brought closer together, the things I have thought about and what I want; I speak about them in an orderly and in a way. Both seemed somewhat reluctant but were eventually accepted. The envious gaze that was occasionally sent to Shiki was something that, well, was willing to how else.

It wasn't a parting gift or anything like that, but I decided to give them a task. It was something they had asked before, but since I didn't know the answer back then, I had delayed it until now.

This may not be the correct answer, but I keep telling them about my thoughts.

For Tomoe, it's about katana. Or rather, about sword arts. Of course, I am an amateur in this field. When it comes to Iai, I have had a little bit of experience since a friend taught me, but it's not in a practical sense. To be honest, it was at a level where my left hand could not even withstand the tension, a complete amateur. I've never cut a straw pole before.

Even so, I tried to look for such information in my head and I could remember one of the basics in sword arts. It was something very unexpected to me. Tomoe says that she will use the katana in the future, so this should be a reference.

I'm talking about the handle. The handle used when holding the Katana, or so it seems. I'm told that without this training properly, all the moves you make with the sword won't be practical. It seemed like it was some kind of tradition, but there was actually a hidden meaning behind it, that was all that was told to me, so I felt somewhat regretful to Tomoe. That was why one had to train his grasp first. Try something longer and heavier than you use, which is what I recommend.

When I found the opportunity, I had to look at my own memories to confirm once again my training and sensei words. Taking part in where I was told "not talented" and "failed", how many were left, I wonder?

For Mio, it's about black magic. This girl wanted to ask a lot about weapons, but she seemed to understand my feelings about weapons, so she tried to reproduce them with black magic without asking me questions about them. How much do you like guns?

But for Mio, who could reproduce a small bullet in such a short period of time, was being troubled by the lack of piercing power. I also thought that with such a form it would be translucent if shot at high speed, so I was annoyed when he asked me for advice. With its shape it looks like it can penetrate, but the darkness element originally used for direct attacks so it is more suitable for impact. I don't know the detailed information yet.

I didn't know much about weapons in my previous world. I have read manga with pretty well-made settings, but the parts I read are so numerous that I all have question marks. In the end, I finished it with sensei's words and his appearance. I think this advice is more appropriate than Tomoe's advice.

That's a rotation. If I remember correctly, when the bullet passed through the gun barrel, it gave it rotation, accuracy, penetrating ability, and raw strength. Sensei told me the theory in detail, but to be honest, I only liked bows and instead I was interested in weapons that were long-range weapons, so I let them pass from one ear to the other.

Well, it must be like a drill or something. I don't know why the accuracy will improve from that and I don't think I need to know. The bow is the same.

That's why I tried to teach Mio about rotation.

Let's leave aside if this is really worth mentioning as a task. Both of them looked happy so it was good.

I also told them about the fact that I looked at them like family, and I didn't know if they wanted it, but I wanted to give them the surname Misumi. Right now they are just Tomoe, Mio and Shiki.

But I don't know how to say it. And it was very embarrassing, so in the end, I couldn't say it. I am totally useless.

"Father mother. I still don't know anything about the two of you, but I plan to move at my own pace. It's okay, right? ” (Makoto)

On a deserted hill in Asora, I did a monologue. Was there a change in Asora when I made a deal with Shiki? I feel like many hills and mountains have been created. As usual, they were all in a distant place so it was okay, but if they were close, it would be an earthquake.

I was on top of one of them. In a place far enough from the city, I came alone. The night sky of Asora is red. This was the moment when the cold descended as if descending from the sky. I was sitting and my ass was starting to feel cold.

In my left hand, I have a portrait of my parents. The paper size is about A5, maybe. I don't know exactly the size. My father and mother were drawn on different papers. The picture I asked Rinnon to make is now done.

No one in Asora could draw well. I don't know what to think about him who draws best. Though, I don't want to ask a child to draw me a portrait.

“…”

There is one more thing I remember. No, it's more like, confronted.

In my right hand facing upwards was an image floating like a hologram. A picture that is in my memory.

There, one could see everyone's gentle expression. In a place where there is no fight for your life, where there is practically no scent of danger.

Photo meeting with archery club members.

In that group, there was one person in the middle, I saw one of the higher-ups.

“... I'm sorry for disappearing after escaping. I. I ended up killing someone. I cried, but it wasn't because I was sad. And then, I remember you two very clearly ... "(Macoto)

Words that don't stop, come out of my mouth.

The first thing I thought about was my family, then the bow, and after putting everything aside as if it was okay to do so, I came into this world. Now think about it, there are still many regrets left in that world.

About the two girls.it was impossible to leave her like that was no problem.

“Everything I do is very half-and-half. Remembering, forgetting. It made me understand that I was really the worst ”(Makoto)

If I could dedicate everything to one thing, if I could go forward while devoting myself to the bow alone, how convenient it would be. I, who was unsure the more I moved forward, thought that, as expected, I was just an ordinary person who could only use a bow.

“Hey, Higashi, Hasegawa. Even with that, I thought about trying my best. At least I will, for the two of you who grew up liking me, will try your best not to be the man who will disappoint you. That's why, if I can come back someday, if possible ... "(Macoto)

Even so, I killed someone. In the future it would be impossible not to kill others.

If possible…

The words after that. I can't say them.

To understand.

Now, I have to start from that.

What should I do, I will decide after finishing this. Until then, like I would care about the war between the demon race and the hyumans. No need to decide everything now. Is it a Goddess, or a hyuman, a demon, or a demi-human?

I submerged my head as if crouching, and hardened my resolve to leave.

Academy Town, Rotsgard. From the map I saw, it was close to the central part of the continent. Land that goes beyond the scope of a small country. From what I heard in Tsige who was in the southwest, even though it was a city focused on research and study, it was also in a place close to the war between the demon race.

That's the place I'm going to go next.
