What?
I see. Then it's unobtrusive and tangible. ....... That's good. Let's adopt it.
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
I'm not sure what to make of it. With Yugra's help, she could at least revive the black sister's consciousness in this man's body.
That's not to say this guy doesn't have any magical power. He barely has the magic power to maintain the possession technique to solve the language problem, and the magic power of the black sister's residual thoughts.
It would have been better to just shut her eyes and bring in a random person. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
I'm sure you'll be able to find something to help you. I'm sure you're not the only one.
No, they are .......
I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll do it. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
It's true that they're also from the same era as the Kuro Sister. In other words, they are in the position of having been brought into the present world by Yugra. If she wants to settle the score with the humans, using them is an acceptable option for her. But they are already at ........
"Don't worry, Tedral. I already know their situation. It may be frustrating for Kuro, but not everything is perfect. If anything, it's a good handicap for the humans. It's a shame what's inside, but the power is still there.
That's true, but ......
It's you I should be worried about. You, my countryman. When you surrender control of your body to the Kuro, your will will be swallowed by her consciousness. You'll have to face her hatred, albeit in a body incapable of magic. I doubt if you, a normal human being, could withstand that, don't you think?
"I'm prepared for that. It won't be that long of a fight anyway.
Yugra showed a slight sign of thinking. He knew that this man was up to something, but he didn't try to read it. That means that the game with this man has already begun for Yugra.
Not reading his mind is not pride. To Yugra, this man's tricks are not dangerous.
Lytial's powers of observation and Harkdock's ability to sense danger. Yugra has sublimated them to a higher level. He instinctively analyzes the information he gets visually, intuitively recognizes the consequences, and can respond perfectly. They do not need to read the mind of the other person every time, but they can limit their actions that may lead to fatal mistakes.
If you sense any danger, then you will fall into the trap of this man's winning strategy. If you read his mind for the first time, you can turn the tables on him.
That's why I'm enjoying this game as a pure player. And this situation proves that there is nothing to threaten Yugra.
Is that okay? I can take the black out of you and send you back to Japan. If you're just a transporter, I don't have any obligation to go that far, but as long as Kuro is involved, I'm willing to do it for free.
I'm glad you're offering. I'm glad to hear that, but I'm also related to this world in some small way. I'd like to return the favor as best I can.
Okay. Then let's begin preparations.
When Yugra strikes the void, countless pieces of equipment appear around him. Yugra finds the tool he is looking for and connects it to the others.
Isn't this supposed to be like magic?
"Isn't it better to do advanced calculations on a supercomputer than on a computer? Even magic is based on a logical construction. It's safer and less accidental to use tools to compensate for the parts that can be compensated for.
"I see. That's true.
If you're more concerned about efficiency, you should build a large-scale facility. If we build it on a continent, civilization will advance even further, and it might be unstable to store a large amount of material in such an improvised space. By the way, we'll need a little more time to prepare, is there anything you want to ask me?
Yugra continued to work without looking aside, but he seemed to have time to talk. He seems to have time to talk, though he doesn't seem to feel anything about the scene of Yugra's work.
Do you realize that every single tool lying around here is something that could advance magical civilization by a hundred years? You seem to know and you don't seem to know.
You want to hear about it? ....... "Oh, I'm talking about the Scarlet Witch King that was left in the lore.
I'm sure you've heard of it. In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. It's a good idea to give people an idea of how strong the Demon Lord is in comparison to the bravest of the brave.
You're doing impressions.
We had a lot of trouble establishing the Yugra cult. I used dimensional magic to find out information about the future Earth. We had to find out about the future Earth through dimensional magic and other means, and put together the best parts of various religions.
You also made the unit of currency much easier to understand.
You know, to make it easier for people to adapt when they come from the same planet, right?
Perhaps it's because they are from the same hometown, but they are talking very intimately, even though they just met each other for the first time. It's better than being in a bad mood, but I feel a little vain for having taken such pains.
If we had a little more salt, our food culture would have developed.
"That's what I thought, too. I thought so too, but you see, people in this world are designed to be uninterested in the sea. Efficiency didn't work. The area I lived in was close to the ocean, so it was faster to build it myself.
"There was some market for it. I think there was a lot of potential for food culture to develop.
Maybe. You see, I'm from around World War I. I wasn't that interested in luxury. Japan's great, too. They lost an even bigger war after that, but they're still developing so much.
For me, it's more amazing that you can talk to Japanese people a hundred years from now.
Yugra sets up a chair-like object and tells us to sit down. In a situation where even a normal chair would make you hesitate, if you were asked to sit in something with a weird tube sticking out of it, you would probably make a face of disgust. This man sat down deeply without changing his expression.
It's sad to meet someone from your hometown, but this is the only time you get to talk to him.
It's a shame that this is the only time we get to talk, even if we do talk for a long time.
Haha, sorry about that. Now put this on and close your eyes.
Yugra handed him a helmet, which he put on and, in a comfortable position, entrusted everything to Yugra. Yugra let out a little sigh and began to channel the magic power into the device.
"Hey, Yugra. What the hell are you doing to this guy?
"What's in him is a residual thought of Kuro. Originally, you would have used his emotional fluctuations to erode him, amplify his magic power, and gain enough resources to form a will, and then use it to take possession of his body. What I'm going to do now is to help him do that, and to pseudo-complete the next step. Specifically, it's pseudo-shamanism through the application of soul interference and dimensional magic.
Please try to explain it in plain English.
You want to explain it to his friends through his alter ego around Tarz? You want to explain it to his friends through the alter in the Taze area? You want to use the black magic in him to possess her will in that mountain. That's about it.
"Oh, ......, you knew.
Cold sweat flowed. The only power Yugra has exercised since she came to this place was supposed to be the ability to read the mind and memories of the man there. If I sensed him probing me, I was going to immediately deactivate my alter ego. .......
I'm sure you've got some confidence in your magic skills, but I'm not sure they're up to snuff with this guy who taught you in the first place. I'm sure you've been working on it while he's been gone. .......
It's not magic. It's a theory I came up with based on what I remember reading from him earlier and your own personality. I'm not going to stop you personally, but Kuro will be here soon. I suggest you disarm him before he thinks you're a human insider.
Yeah, that's a good point. ....... I'll explain it to them later. ......
The sooner, the better. You're going to be a pawn in the black game.
...... Yeah, right.
If the black sister is resurrected, of course I'll be on her side. If she's going to destroy the humans, it's only natural that we should get our hands dirty together. And she'll be resurrected in the body of the weakest human. I might even be a trump card for her.
Judging from what Yugura said, the curse as a watcher on my body will probably be lifted. Well, I'm extremely grateful for that.
As I was thinking about this, Yugra stopped supplying magic power and removed the helmet-like device he was wearing.
That's it.
"What, already?
It's not like I'm bringing the soul itself. It's like the consciousness on the other side of the mountain is being projected onto my body. It's like a TV broadcast, you know?
"Oh. Yeah, the one that sends images through the box.
I know the future culture of Juglar's planet to some extent. I prefer the way of projecting images from movie theaters to television. It's easier to do it on a large scale.
I look into his face fearfully. He looks as if he is asleep, but it seems that he is already a black sister inside. The black demon king, the strongest of them all.
You don't need to be afraid. Kuro has control of the body, but the body itself is still his. Even if he attacked us out of the blue, we wouldn't lose no matter how hard we tried.
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them. I'm not sure what to make of it.
A jet-black darkness filled with hatred and rage. It's different from the look I've seen in that man's eyes. It's the very look of the black sister I couldn't stop and could only see off.
He stares at us, and slowly raises his body. His gaze is directed towards us, or rather towards Yugra...
"Narya!
Without question, he slams his fist into Yugra's face. The speed of the fist was low, and even I could evade it ten times before it hit, but Yugra did not evade it.
On the contrary, he didn't strengthen his magic at all, but rather received it with his body weakened.
It's been a while since I've seen you, Kuro. It's good that you are healthy, but if you do anything crazy with your body, it will break down soon.
You, you, you! What the hell do you think you're doing?
Soup! That's a soup, black sister! He's just a pervert who enjoys being beaten up!
I'm not sure what to make of this. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
Yugra's nose is bleeding as she stares at her black sister, smiling. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm really happy to have beaten you, this guy!
Let go of me, Tedral!
Chill out! You can't do anything with a body like that! Let's talk this through calmly, Kuro sister!
I'm perfectly calm! But I still have to gouge out at least one of his eyes before we can talk!
Isn't that what you call calm?
I'm not sure what to make of it. If I let her go on like this until she's satisfied, her body could bleed to death. How can I calm her down?
I don't know.
What?
Just when I thought Yugra had put her hand on her face. The sound of fresh blood and the splattering of fresh blood stopped me and my sister from moving.
Yugra grabbed something in her hand and threw it at our feet. The sphere rolled over and over. When I realized that it was his eyeball, I felt goosebumps all over my body.
It's a borrowed body, so don't be reckless, okay?
I noticed that I had released the restraints. She didn't jump at me, but she was still staring at Yugra's face. As for me, I couldn't look directly at Yugra's face. Now he's even turned off the magic enhancement. His sense of pain should be as strong as a normal human's. What kind of nerves does he have to have to be able to laugh while gouging out his own eyeballs?
What the hell is this?
Things have changed. For now, Kuro, I've decided not to stop your revenge.
Then why this man's body? I'm sure you've got a way to make him disappear.
If I unleash you in your prime, you'll harass me out of spite for betraying you. I have things I want to do, and I don't want to be interfered with. I don't want to get in the way of that.
When Yugra snapped his fingers, the eyeballs that were lying on the ground burst, and the mist that arose enveloped the black sister.
The mist gradually converges and transforms into a temporary body. When the change was over, where the man had been standing a moment ago, the figure of the black sister he had once seen was there in its original form.
"Oh, .......
I couldn't help but let out a strange voice. It's a magically recreated body, but it's definitely the black sister herself inside. You can feel the unique aura of the black sister, even if there is no magical intimidation.
Even if the form is slightly different, she is the black sister I wanted to see and meet again. I feel sentimental about it.
"You took away my power, and now you want revenge?
You still have your power, don't you? You still have power, don't you? ...... There are still some of your people left in the magical world you created. There are still brethren of yours left in the world you created, awakened by the power of your omnipotence, who have risen to greater heights.
"......
Haha, you don't say 'just like that'. From your point of view, the Awakened are but a small force. Well, you can't say that, can you? They're your creation, a manifestation of your rage. They're your limbs, driven by your wailing.
She hates humans, but she's not without a sense of camaraderie. It's because of her love for her friends that she's been stained with so much hatred.
If she was just a monster who hated herself alone, I would have been able to understand her. But she's the one who's carrying and leading everyone's hatred.
"Oh, I'm here too, Sister Kuro.
You're alive, aren't you?
Oh, they didn't see me.
I didn't kill any of them except the ones I killed to stop you. I don't know what happened to them after that.
Well said. Yugra knows the current state of the Serendipity Realm. It's true that there are a good number of demons and they have the power to invade the human world. They are far superior to the Scarlet Beast's army, and even if they were to make an enemy of the Blue King, there is a good chance they would win. But you're calling that thing a limb of the Kuro Sister? Let's call that mess ......!
"...... is fine. The Serendipitous Realm. So that's the name you came up with.
I don't have much of a naming sense. I got it from the name of a gem, like you suggested.
Narya. I'll never forgive you, but if you'll stay out of my way, I have nothing more to say. --Thedral!
Ha-ha-ha!
Serendipity, we're going to the demon world. Gather the troops and raise the alarm.
Oh, yeah!
I was happy to hear my name called for the first time in a long time, and sad to feel my black sister's anger and enthusiasm that hadn't cooled down in years. But at least now, for the first time in hundreds of years, my heart is shaking violently.
I don't know what that "earthling" had in mind when he made this turn of events. I'm willing to help in any way I can, but it's only to stop Yugra. I'm sorry, but I'm going to work as Kuro Sister's hand and foot.
