It's Sudden, but I Came to Another World! But I Hope to Live Safely Chapter 139

Published at 26th of April 2023 05:39:13 AM

I would like to say that Ecdysium and Wulfe have successfully arrived at the answer, and are now ready to take action to solve the problem, but before that, they need to make preparations.

I'm currently having Ecdysium fly around to prepare for this.

In the meantime, I have a little free time, so I'm taking Ilias and Wolfe on a sightseeing tour of the streets of Quama.

It's a good opportunity, since I haven't had a chance to take a good look at the city of Quama for some reason.

Compared to Taze, there are more adventurer-like people, and more importantly, the ratio of subhumans is much higher.

Seeing these differences, I can understand why Marito said that Taze is a hard country.

In Taize, there is no guild influence, so there is no place for Riods to work that can easily accept subhumans.

This may be the reason why subhumans belonging to the Schneites, the only people with roots in Taize, also avoid Taize.

There is another reason why they want to avoid Taize, and that is because of the adjacent demon world.

It is said that subhumans were brave against humans, but cowardly against demon lords.

This is the reason why the subhumans were brave to humans but cowardly to demon kings. The Mejis and Taze demon worlds, which are the most dangerous among them, may be places that the subhumans, with their animal blood, instinctively want to avoid.

In the event that you have any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, please do not hesitate to contact us.

I think Marith and the Kuro Wolves will be a good start in that area.

"Yes, I'm sure His Majesty will pull it off.

Then we arrived at the square where the main attraction, the "Hero's Index," was located.

A large stone monument stands in the middle of the plain square, but is this it?

The inscriptions on the monument are unnecessarily lengthy, stating that Seiya Yukura visited this land in the past, invaded the demon world with great speed, and defeated Ao.

"If I touch this, will I be able to see the memories of Seiya Yukura?

You can't touch it, but there is no change.

Perhaps it is better if you touch it through magic.

I don't have any magic.

Right, then, keep your hand on it.

Ilias puts his hand on top of the hand on the stone monument.

And just as I thought I felt a faint heat flowing into my body, my vision changed from the square to the wilderness.

There were countless undead around, some of them armed.

"---

I thought I had raised my voice lightly, but I couldn't speak.

No, he may have been able to speak, but no sound seemed to be generated.

Wulfe, who was supposed to be by my side, is not here, but Ilias is.

I wonder if it's because we reacted with the same magic. ...... This is similar to the virtual world of Gold, or perhaps a little more degraded.

It seems that you can move around, but if you're not careful, you might bump into an unseen Wolfe.

"Now, are you ready?

When I turned around, there was a man standing there.

He has slightly long black hair, dark eyes, and a gentle, well-formed face typical of Japanese men.

He is in his mid-twenties and is dressed in a white, loose-fitting robe.

This is Seiya Yukura, a transplant from Earth like me.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm not sure what to do.

I'm not sure if you've ever heard of it or not.

But there is no sign of him when I look around, he seems to be hiding in plain sight.

You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them.

And then he slipped through my body.

I hurriedly turned around and saw a group of undead flying in the air in pieces.

The remains of the undead disintegrated into dust before falling to the ground.

As I watched, I realized that the countless undead around me had disappeared.

It was probably similar to the Cleave that Ilias had used to generate shockwaves over a wide area, but there was no pause at all.

I forgot to put on my metahuman glasses, but it probably wouldn't change the result.

He was definitely as strong as or stronger than the metahumans of this world.

"---

Shigeya Yukura muttered something at the end.

For a moment I was confused as to what he was saying, but it was in a language I was familiar with, Japanese.

When I tried to understand what he meant, the scenery returned to the square.

"Did you see ......?

"Yeah, it was amazingly strong.

Ilias's face also told that he had witnessed a scene beyond his imagination.

It seems that even the current Ilias can marvel at the strength of Seiya Yukura.

"Even Ilias thinks so?

"We may be evenly matched in terms of physical ability alone, but the amount of magic power we possess and how we handle it is too different. He was able to strengthen his magic, send shockwaves over a wide area, incorporate purification magic, and do all of that in one breath.

I know it sounds great, but it doesn't ring a bell.

It's easy to say that it's got all of Wolfe's physical abilities and magic power, Lakra's magic building speed, and Exoik's multiple building techniques.

I see. It's a monster.

I could see that they had a lot of room to maneuver. The fight in the previous scene was probably not a serious one.

That's a lot for an Earthling to take in.

I wonder what I'd be like now if I could fight like that.

"Shishou!　I'm not sure what to say.

You'll be able to find a lot of people who'll be able to do this.

You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them.

There is no doubt that it is strong, but ...... it's a different kind.

"What kind?

Yeah, that's not the kind of strength you build up over time. It's a spontaneous strength gained through innovation.

Do you understand that?

I'm from the same planet as you. I'm familiar with the upper limits of specs.

If you've ever observed an athlete, a fighter, a soldier, or someone in one of those positions, you know that Shigeya Yukura's appearance is not that of someone who has lived a life of physical training.

If he was born more than a hundred years ago, he might have served in the military around the time of World War I. However, I do not have the impression that he is a full-fledged soldier.

If such a person could move as he just did, his name would go down in history like a legendary sniper.

If he becomes a demon or a demon lord, will he be able to reach that realm?

If you get that kind of power at the drop of a hat, you're not going to have half the fun in life.

We don't level in games, we just enjoy the right difficulty level.

I've also done a lot of bondage play, and my current situation is quite bondage play.

If you're the one who got the power after coming to this world, then you're probably right. By the way, you were muttering something at the end, is that by any chance a language from your planet?

"Oh, it was Japanese. It seems that Shigeya Yukura was leaving a message for his countrymen who visit this world besides adventurers.

What did he say?

What did he say? - He said, "From here on, you'll forsake all humanity, and if you want to live in this world, you'll have to be content with this.

What does that mean?

What do you mean? - "The end of a man who has acquired a strength that cannot be compared to any other is loneliness. Shigeya Yukura warned me to be moderate.

Shigeya Yukura is dabbling in further realms.

The colorless demon king's words that he was 'killed by a god' would certainly confirm this.

It is true that I don't want to be associated with such a being, and I don't want to live a life that will leave my name in mythology.

I don't want to live a life that will leave my name in the myths." "I see. ...... It would be difficult to imagine such a scene.

"Well, you've shown me a valuable example of failure. It was worth coming here. Let's get back to Lacla and the mix.

Yeah, sure.

Should we have lunch first, or wait until after they join us?

Ilias and Wolfe don't know much about Quama's restaurant, so maybe it's best to ask Mikus.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that neither of you know much about the food scene around here, right?

They both shake their heads left and right, so it's best to rely on Mixu.

If we rely on him too much, the tone of his voice will get louder, and we would like to keep it in moderation, but we can't give up the appeal of Mix quality.

"Excuse me, may I have a word?

As I was leaving the plaza, I was approached by a woman.

The woman, who had been sitting alone when I came to the square, was dressed in the same Yugoslavian priestly uniform as Lakra.

She was about the same age as Lakra, and her face showed that she was the type of person full of vitality.

What can I do for you?

If you're looking for a place to eat, I can recommend a few places.

That's a nice offer. What do you say?

Hmm, that's very kind of you. .......

Well, that's very kind of you. Can I ask you a favor?

Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Masetta Neutis.

My name is Masetta Neutis.

I was completely defeated by Lakra.

He made me crawl on the ground, sighing and looking bored, not even looking at me.

That's how much of a difference there was, or was.

Cutting wards with magic is not a feat that even the Archbishop can do easily.

It took only a moment, and in the face of the overwhelming difference in strength, it was hard to even feel it.

With that much talent, it is not hard to understand why Master Ucka recommends him.

But outside of combat, he is completely useless.

There's no way he's acting in that pile of failures, there's no way he's acting to damage the cathedral.

"How ...... miserable ......!

I bite my lip and a slight taste of blood spreads in my mouth.

I'm completely defeated, but I still don't want to admit that I'm inferior to Lakra.

The pride of knowing that I have more than enough to win keeps humiliating me.

The way I was treated in Morgana has not changed at all, and I'm sure that Lord Lytial saw me losing from the beginning.

I was so caught up in my own personal feelings that I didn't even see the difference in my abilities and was defeated, so if you had lowered my rank, I would have been able to reflect on my defeat.

Still, the fact that I am still here means that Lakra is recognized as something more than that.

Lakra is standing at the place where I arrived.

That's frustrating and frustrating to me.

But I have no way to vent my frustration to Lakra.

Maybe there is, if you don't mind the means, but Mix-Thayes is beside me.

There's no one in Rank 2 who doesn't know what she's capable of, and she's not someone I want to make an enemy of.

We need to think of some way to attack her.

In order to do so, we need to know Lakra well.

How can we get information about him? We must avoid doing anything that might alert him.

As I was getting up to leave the square, three men and a woman entered my field of vision.

You can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time, and you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time.

The knight has no gaps, and the magic he feels is so refined that it makes you unconsciously brace yourself.

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the following web site: .......

It's not often that you see a face like that in a Quama, but it's definitely a strong man from another country.

That's what I mean. ...... Such a view would be hard to imagine.

"Well, you've shown me a valuable example of failure. It was worth coming here. Let's get back to Lacla and the mix.

What did you say, Lakra and Mikus?

These three are acquaintances of theirs?

This could be a fortuitous opportunity to get some information on Lakra.

I called out to them and invited them to my favorite restaurant for dinner.

At the restaurant, there were two seats available for two people, and the man who seemed to be in charge of organizing the group and I sat together.

The knight was seated behind me, but he was always aware of his surroundings even under such circumstances.

If I were to try to touch this man, her sword would come between us before I could reach him.

Of course, I would never harm a stranger, hypothetically.

The man is eating in a polite manner.

His manner of speaking is so mild and polite that I wonder if he is really an acquaintance of Lakra.

He said, "Well, it was delicious. Thank you, Mr. Masetha.

This is my favorite restaurant. I'm glad you like it.

"Well, it's always nice to be recognized for something you approve of. I wish I could do something to repay you.

I've been in Quama for a long time, so I'm happy to take this opportunity to talk to people outside.

I've been in Quama for a long time, and I'm happy to talk to people on the outside.

If I ask too many questions out of the blue, I'll look suspicious and be shunned.

Lakra is a clergyman like me, so should I lead him to say that there is a clergyman near him and bite him there?

Not a bad idea, let's go this way.

As I was about to speak to him, I suddenly felt something strange in his eyes.

Something was different. I didn't feel any change in my magic, but it was as if my instincts were telling me something.

It's about Lacla, isn't it?

.......

It's the same priestly uniform, so it's not hard to figure out.

...... Yes, that's right.

Lacra and I are both wearing the same Yugoslavian priestly uniform.

If you are acquainted with Lakra, it is not surprising that he knows that I am related to Lakra.

Wouldn't it be more convenient if he had broached the subject calmly?

Yeah, yeah. Lakra and I are classmates, and since you mentioned her name earlier, I was feeling nostalgic and called out to her.

So you want to know about Lacla's weakness?

What are you...

The way Masetha's eyes and shoulders tensed when you mentioned Lakra's name, I could almost understand their relationship. You are a diligent and hardworking person. To such a person, Lakra is often too much to look at. If you're one of Lacla's peers, then you're probably jealous that she became a priest before you.

What is this guy.

Does he know about me?

No, there's not a single lie in her words.

"The reason you're trying to get information now is because you recently had contact with Lakra, right?　I'm sure you're not the only one. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what's going on in your life.

...... Have you heard from Lakra?

No, I heard that Lakra joined Morgana's rank 2, but other than that, nothing. I haven't been told anything about Mr. Masetta.

No lie, this man understands me right now.

Not only that, but he knows Lakra well enough to be able to compare me to her and make a guess.

"Morgana had an entrance exam, didn't she? I'm sure you'll find a lot of people who'd like to know more about it.　...... It would seem so.

Who the hell are you ......?

Don't sweat the small stuff, and don't be too alarmed. Just because I know what Mr. Masetta is up to doesn't mean I'm going to do anything about it. Only if you don't take action.

...... I see.

I picked the wrong person. This person is no match for me.

It's not about combat skills, it's purely about being seen through.

Is it possible to see through a person you have just met for the first time with only a few hints?

No, even if he had the wisdom to do so, he would not be able to see through to my heart.

I should just back out of this, I have nothing to gain by dealing with this person.

However, as if he saw through my attempt to back out, he continued to talk.

"Since we're here, let's talk a little. Your unresolved feelings are nothing more than you selfishly viewing Lakra as an enemy. You've taken it upon yourself to look down on Rakhula, and you're humiliated by the difference. Your recent defeat in a duel has only made that feeling worse.

"Selfishly?

Lakra is fatally bad at general work. It's tempting to think you're better than him if that's all you see. But that's the mistake you've made. You let your superiority get the better of you, and you didn't talk to Lakra or look at her. Had you been able to talk to her, you would have known that she is a clumsy person at heart. If I had been able to see her, I would have understood the strength she still had.

Memories of the past came back to her mind.

I don't remember talking to Lakra, I don't remember seeing Lakra.

What happened to me when I first met her, and after seeing the series of failures that followed.

I treated Lakra as if she were not there.

"Weaknesses can be strengths. You've been able to work harder than others. But Lakra was clumsy and could only work on one thing. While you were working hard, Lakra was working hard at only one thing. But if you look at it another way, he put all his effort into one thing. It's a realm that you can't reach, and it's only fair that you lose to Rakura in battle. It's up to you to hold a grudge over it, isn't it?

Self-loathing is slowly rising from the depths of my heart.

I thought I had lived right as a priest and a human being.

But he's right, I've been looking down on Lakra.

And I'm selfishly upset that Lakra beat me to it, and I'm selfishly upset that Lakra beat me to it.

I can't refute any of his words.

I'm ....... I'm .......

"But Mr. Masetta is a fine man.

"......What?

But Mr. Masetta is a fine man. But what about the rest?　Are you ashamed of everything you've done?

"That's not--

"If you don't understand Lakra, you're just a sloppy human being. If you allow yourself to be defeated by such a lakhra, the meaning and value of all your efforts will be denied. Your hostility stems from your anger at the unfair treatment of the value of your efforts, and those of others. You are a pure and upright person, there is no need to be ashamed of that.

......

"But you used to be a little narrow-minded. You were a little narrow-minded in the past, and that's why you're still too caught up in what happened from a narrow perspective. Breathe out a little and try to calm down. As a priest and an adventurer, do you really think you are inferior to Lakra?

Lakra became a priest before me.

She became a rank 2 adventurer more easily than I did.

But that's only a special case because of her outstanding fighting ability.

I'm sure I can do the job of a priest better than you.

I have far more experience as an adventurer.

You've beaten Lakra in most things, so there's no need to dwell on the few areas where you lose. Unless, of course, you are a battle fanatic who has devoted his life to fighting.

Wow, I'm not that crazy. ......

Yes, I think you're a wonderfully charming person, just a little too quick to judge.

He wrapped his hands around mine.

He wrapped his hands around mine. The strange fear I had felt earlier was gone, the calmness in his young eyes.

"Mr. Masetha, you have many strengths and you have learned your flaws. You can work hard, you can reflect. You should be moving forward instead of standing still. There will be things in your future that only you can accomplish. And I know you can do it.

He admonished me for being hostile to my friends, and not only denied me, but acknowledged me.

I don't remember much after that, I found myself leaving him and heading home.

One thing I can say is that my jealousy and hatred for Lakra have dried up and become a shabby mess in my heart.

I was no longer attached to Lakra, but now I wanted to understand her in a different way.

I decided to trust her words, yes, her .......

...... Oh, did I not hear her name?
