258 Sometimes It'S An Old Story, Part Four.
258 Sometimes It'S An Old Story, Part Four.
Fu, stopping his leg as he was walking, Soma looked back.
But what was there was just a big meadow.
Instead of looking like a shadow or demon, there's literally nothing else.
Grass trees and roads without paths were the only stretches.
Would it be a little too poetic to try to compare that to my previous life?
But for a moment, it's true that I thought of that.
It's been about twenty years since Soma came to this world, if you notice.
It seemed like it wasn't long or it seemed like it was terribly slow.
If there's still only one thing for sure, then finally, that would mean it seems so.
And that's very luxurious.
Perhaps Soma was blessed.
The strongest thing that seems to be the case is that the first place I was was was in that country.
That's what I learned in repeating my journey, but that was an exceptional place in this world.
At least, no other place has been so gentle and serene as Soma has ever traveled.
So I'm sure it's special over there...... I'm glad to hear that.
That I could have spent just a few years there and... in the double sense that the others didn't have to be like there.
Without time like that moratorium, maybe Soma couldn't stand the harshness of this world.
I may not have even met swordsmanship, and no matter what, Soma was still able to move on with his legs because during that time he was able to create something basic.
But if other places were gentle, I'm sure Soma hadn't been able to get here.
There is now because it was moderately harsh and hard.
"There was also a lot of fun if it was."
I went to a place called the Labyrinth, and even fought a lot of demons and sometimes dragons.
All of that would have been a valuable and important experience and would have accumulated in this body.
I have fed it without wasting a minute and brushed my sword arms.
Run desperately, run, run... if you notice, the back you were supposed to be chasing isn't in your sight.
Soon I overtook him and left him.
What I recall is the moment.
Is it three years ago?
I remember, as I did yesterday, when I succeeded a master called Kensei and beat an opponent who myself even reached the point of being called Kensei.
When I felt the sense of accomplishment, I thought so myself.
But what Soma remembered when she looked down at her knees on the floor was a sense of hunger.
This is not enough yet.
When the road continued further, I was so sure because I had gotten there.
But it wasn't until then that we could get there.
From there, you have to walk alone.
As they have done so, now it was their turn.
It's like, this meadow.
Go even further where no one has ever stepped, believing that there is something ahead of them that they want.
If I say I wasn't in a hurry, I'd be lying.
By the way, the decay of the flesh is progressing, and later, as we roll down the ramp already, it will be while falling.
Now I'm still better at polishing my sword arms than that, but I know best that the limits are close.
But that's why I'm here.
I did everything I could.
I can tell you with my chest up that I'm the best I am right now.
And then...
"- It just proves it"
I shrugged and resumed my steps.
A small high hill exists in front of us and we cannot see what lies ahead.
I can't see, but... I didn't say I didn't know.
Because I don't have to see it, I can feel it.
That way, up ahead, there was another vast expanse of land.
But not a single grass tree grows there, but only a desolate land.
It's like, just saying you don't need anything else to exist.
Only one giant dragon was at the end of his gaze.
I couldn't stop my body trembling when I said I wasn't saying anything, I wasn't doing anything, I was just staring at this one jizzily.
Fear comes naturally.
But that's not against dragons.
That's what it would be like if I hadn't gotten to where I was going.
But that's why Soma pulled out the sword.
At the end of the day, that's all I can do.
The dragon also moved slowly, as if he understood everything.
Those eyes have no mockery or alarm...... if it's not my fault, it seems like I'll just have a little fun.
Thinking that far, Soma slowly lifted the edge of his mouth as well.
Yes, because I realized that you were right.
This is a fight and a challenge to make sure of everything.
If so, what do you do without enjoying it?
When thoughts reached that point, there was a clear grin on Soma's faceā¦ his arm pulled out of the sword, lowered gently.
If you are not alarmed, you are not kidding, that is what was reached by the extreme of our flow, the structure of Soma.
"Well... then, come"
I didn't need any extra words.
In the next moment Soma kicks the ground and the dragon rises to the sky.
And...
"This is what's happening after what's happened."
Having finished his much missed story, Soma sighed out trying to separate the story there.
Because it was in remembrance, although somewhat ambiguous, it was more than thirty years ago in subjective time if we were to use it as a reference when we came to the other world.
I'd rather say you remembered him well.
But - apparently the other person was unhappy.
"That, after what happened, is the part that bothers me the most?
"It's just a secret there. Secrets between the parties."
"Yes... so you're going to have to give up on that"
That said the opponent... a stranger in the shape of a girl breathed out a real shame.
Shake your head left or right as you mourn, shaking your peachy hair.
"It's a real shame... I thought if I could find even one of her weaknesses. If that's what you mean, I guess you are... but you rather seem stronger. There's no point in being weak enough."
"Hmm... I'm sorry to hear that."
"Yes... I'm so sorry."
Though it exhales a distressing breath, Soma nods back in a meaningful way...... Now, squeals only in her heart.
I wonder what the problem is.
Or...
"By the way, may I ask you one thing?
"I don't care if it's something I can answer to you?
"Yeah, that's okay. Instead, no one can answer but you."
"Hmm... if you say so, I'm also saying you don't know... do you?
"Yes. - Me, I haven't even mentioned my name to you yet, but is it okay to deal with suspicious people like this?
To the words, Soma shrugged her shoulders.
That's exactly why I was wondering what was going on, because I knew it.
Of course, though, I didn't make you talk about and listen to Soma's past stories in a meaningless way.
"What, there is no problem. Perhaps that's what you wanted to hear the most. I thought we'd talk about it later, so I just talked about it before it got too much trouble."
"... so it's like you already know who I am?
"Hmm... I'd rather ask the other way around, but why didn't you know that in front of the Virgin?
"... eh"
With a grin on his face, somewhat breathtaking, he apparently thought he was seriously unnoticed.
It has been insulted for a long time.
"... me, did I even fail something? I don't remember doing an enlightened imitation."
"Well...... if you dare say so, is it being itself? Or did I tell you? There's no way I don't get it before you."
"... did you mean as it were? I see. Surely this seems like I was just insulting you. I apologize for my disrespect."
"No, that's not what they say."
What Soma said, by the way, is true.
I wondered if the window had opened slightly in the middle of the night, and from there it was like this girl - the Virgin breaking into the room and realizing it but not doing anything, and I just started talking about it a long time ago, because I could understand it the moment I saw it.
Surely Soma has never seen the Virgin.
Naturally because they usually say they're in the Holy Capital and rarely come out of it, but still, I've heard a few stories, and I was informed by Hildegard.
Therefore, even if I saw it, I could somehow perceive it.
"... I see. I meant to understand, but you just really meant it. On top of that, I apologize."
"So I don't need that...... or actually, as a senior, I'm more concerned about something else than that?
"Oh... what is it?
"No, it's that tone..."
I'm not complaining about the tone itself, but I feel different from what I first heard.
We had a few words before we started talking, and that's not how we talked.
"I thought it would be better for you... but was it uncomfortable? If so, I will stop now."
"No, it's not that it's offensive, and it's certainly true..."
"Really... then I'm glad. If you're wrong there, it's called" Eyes. "
Exhaling as relieved as she had said so, the Virgin - the Lord of the Holy Capital, once again, turned his eyes to Soma and, after looking, lifted him gently when he picked his skirt.
Keep it small.
"So it's time to come? I can afford some time, but it's not as relaxing as it gets."
"Hmmm... will it still be so"
"Quick guesses are very helpful. Do you say, maybe, you knew from the beginning?
"It's about me. I know this extent."
That's why I was wondering what was going on...... I should still say, there seems to be nothing I can do.
Then you'll have to give up honestly.
I just sold a fight to the Lord of the Holy Capital, and I don't have one good thing or anything.
"Yeah, that would really help. Shall we come, then? Newest - Dear"
And when he shrugged his shoulders into the words, which seemed to be a mixture of tears, Soma walked out of his back, and leaped himself out of the window.
