Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

381 Former Strongest, Get A Description Of The Status Quo

"Ha......!? He said the Holy City was about to perish... what do you mean...!?

"Nothing, nothing, that's what it means, right?

"... it's not something you can do in a little bit."

"Well, it's true that it's not difficult..."

Still, it's just not something you can talk about.

But apparently, it's not going to be true.

Because when I could pull in the grin that was even thin, Eleonora's face became serious itself.

"I thought I'd feel a little lighter if I told you how light it was... but that's still not how it works."

"Hmmm... does that mean something is going on in the progression right now? Well, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."

"Yeah, actually, it's still tough right now. To be precise, the crisis has not yet left."

"I mean, you're still under attack, or something?

"... but not like that"

"Yes, it's not like we're being attacked. Because the doom does not come from the outside, but from within."

Saying, Eleonora looked back at that behind her.

Soma looks at it, too, and narrows her eyes.

I continued to snort because I somehow understood.

"I see... rather than prevent interference from the outside, it's to keep you out of the inside, isn't it?

"It also means preventing interference from outside, but yes, the main purpose is to protect the internal situation as it is. So the cause of doom is still inside, and it's just stopping."

"Are you saying it was impossible to deal with anything else?

"Yes. Or it would have been easy to help only a limited number of people, including us. But the Sacred Capital was definitely extinct by then. Involve all the people there."

"... what's going on with the people inside?

"Of course he's alive. This interior stops in a literal sense. Including time."

"Hmm, stop time by involving everything in the Holy Capital, is it... quite something"

"This is what they call it. the swinging cage of God,"

I'm convinced of that word.

In short, it was Satya who did this.

With the power of God, it would certainly be possible to stop one or two of the times in limited space.

"I know very well that this is awesome... but still, you couldn't rule out the cause, could you? The demons have been suicide bombing you?

"... wasn't very good at attacking, or what?

"No, that's not true. If I'd just eliminated it, I could have done it. But it's another story to see if we can stop it."

"The results didn't change, so what?"

"Technically, I don't think we would have done it if we could have stopped it."

"Hmm?"

Apparently, there's something going on.

But without talking about it, Eleonora moved on.

"Note that while the internal time has stopped, it doesn't mean that the time of the people inside has completely stopped. They're all in dreams."

"That doesn't mean you're asleep, does it?

"Yeah. What they're seeing is dreams that are safe, peaceful, happy, but never wake up. More precisely, they're in the world of souls."

"... the world of souls?... Why?

"Did you have to do that, do you mean?

"You're half right and half wrong, and so on. In the first place, that's what this god shaking cage is all about. The world of the end, healing and giving peace to the souls of those who are inside. There was no other way to avoid that situation, and as a result, the people who were in the Holy City were imprisoned here."

"It doesn't sound like it's the end of the line or being imprisoned, does it?

"I'll skip the details, but I'm pretty sure it's better not to use them if I can."

It's a curious way of saying it, but not if you care now.

Eleonora and I wouldn't have come all this way to explain that.

"Well, whatever... I mean, nothing's solved, right?

"You're right. It was activated because there was no other means of saving it than this, but it was only a temporary coping therapy. It hasn't come to a fundamental solution."

"... I mean, do we move to solve this at the same time as we do?

"No, then we won't make it. Because the moment you unlock this world, the Sacred Capital will disappear. You may assume that we do not have time to do something in the meantime. Besides, all I know is that at least the Holy City will disappear. It doesn't matter how far it affects you."

"Well, what am I supposed to do? I don't think we're going to let them lead us to evacuation so we don't have to do anything."

"Yeah, of course. We're not going to give up on anyone yet."

In the eyes that were so directed, a strong light was lit.

That's enough to understand that I'm serious.

"So what do we do? Is this what you're talking about because you want us to do something?

"Yeah, I'll explain that to you now. Nevertheless, there is only one way to solve this situation. At the bottom of this, it's about eliminating the culprits."

"... deepest... I mean, do we go in too?

"But the time inside is stopping, isn't it? How am I supposed to go for the deepest part? Oh, no... maybe in the world of souls, you mean?

That's what I'm talking about.

"Hmm... well, there's no problem, but how do we get to the bottom of it? Will Eleonora continue to show us the way?

"No, the deepest part doesn't mean literally... you know, when it's all ready, it means something like that. Perhaps no matter what someone tells you, when the time comes, you'll know it's natural."

"That's a pretty vague story..."

Nevertheless, I would be if I could speak more plainly.

Eleonora doesn't know anything more at the moment, or something like that.

"I'm sorry, but I'd like you to make a local decision on the details."

"Does that mean you're not going?

"I seem to have a little too much affinity for this. Satya told me that she would be completely taken in at the end of the day."

"Is it okay to be taken in?

"Don't worry, you won't be able to do anything. Once this world is lifted, nothing will go wrong."

"... then peace of mind?

"It would have been nice if you'd helped me."

"Hehe, I'm sorry about that. But don't worry. You won't need my help… and I have help for you, although it's a little too much."

At the time Eleonora said it was, I knew she didn't tell me who it was.

Because there is only one person, such as Eleonora, who speaks that way.

"Is it Hildegard"

"Yes.... I'm really sorry, but her cooperation is essential, so I'll have to be patient."

"Does that mean there can be a lot of complications after all?

"No, it's not like that. I was going to explain... because in this, you probably can't remember everything I explained."

"... can't you remember?... Memory is restricted in this?

"On the contrary, I don't know how far you might remember. It even includes me."

"... what the hell is that? In this, you mean you're going to have amnesia?

"So, if it's done, it's still better. It's possible that the worst memories have been altered to become someone else with just the same name."

That was a lot of trouble.

If they change my memory, there's nothing I can do about it.

"... how to avoid it?

"Basically not. This is the law that has been laid down to survive the world. As I said, a safe, peaceful and happy world is promised in this. Conversely, they are forced to adapt to a safe, peaceful and happy world."

"In other words, if there are parts that cannot be adapted, the memory is restricted or altered."

"Oh, I see... you can't remember what we're talking about because that's where you get caught up"

"Yes, if you remember what I just told you, you're unlikely to be able to enjoy the happiness you're given."

"... So what do we do?

"For that, Mr. Hildegard. She's hardly affected when she comes in here. And by going through her, it seems possible to recover her memories."

"Then it seems like we can handle it..."

"If there's a problem, she's become heterogeneous in this, right? We can't make contact with her, so we have to get her to make contact with us somehow."

I also find it a little more difficult to make contact with Hildegard, who is likely to have forgotten the story here but doesn't even know where he is... well, I guess I'll have to do it.

The choice not to do it, not from the beginning.

"But naturally, the act is quite exceptional. Perhaps only one person can regain his memory."

"Just one person... then it's soma"

"... no objection"

"Hmm... well, I don't disagree with you, but the question is, are you likely to forget this story, but can you target it so well?"

"I don't think you need to worry about that."

"... Mm, I agree"

"I agree."

All Eina and Sheila or even Eleonora affirmed, and Soma tilted her neck.

I don't think so... well, fine.

Now would not be the time to chat.

"By the way, I know what the situation is and what needs to be done... how do I get this in?

"Sure... I can't find the entrance or anything."

"... slash?

"No, because it looks hard at first sight, but it's actually like liquid. If you want to come in, you can keep it in."

"Hmm, was it..."

Then I wonder if there is a problem and think a little.

I searched for other information I might need, but I immediately shook my head to the side.

I forget what I'm talking about here anyway, so there's no point in hearing any more.

Besides, if you need anything, you can even ask Hildegard when you see him.

I thought so and stepped out and asked only one last time.

"Speaking of which, after all, how did the Holy City come to be doomed?

"That's right... I'd like you to hear that from Mr. Hildegard"

"Hmm?"

It's something I was somehow able to predict, but there's still something going on.

It doesn't seem like it's simply the devil's work or anything.

Though there are some thoughts that are slightly unclear, I can't help but say.

"Now, let's go."

"Well... I'm a little nervous, to be honest"

"... I'm just a little interested in what kind of place it is"

"It will be in the form of a hassle push... I'm sorry, thank you"

Feeling Eleonora's gaze on her back with those words, the Somas stepped into its bright white sphere.
