Chapter 193

Episode 193:

I was at a loss for words due to the sudden change in the world tree’s emotions.

After pushing me, she shed tears and now even apologized.

I had no idea which beat to go to.

‘Now... I don’t know.’

I even start to get confused about whether saving the World Tree was a good thing.

I didn’t take the risk of being threatened by barbarians just to be treated like this.

“all good. “I know you wanted to recognize me, and I know you were worried about me.”

-....

“But that doesn’t mean we can just ignore this.”

I was attacked without even receiving a proper explanation, but if I let this go, I wouldn’t be a human being.

At least he should have been compensated.

“I’m feeling pretty bad right now. So I just can’t go back.”

-...What do you want?

“What can you give me?”

The World Tree fell silent at my words.

She wondered if it was difficult to answer right away.

I decided to ease her worries.

“There are two things I want. “One thing is information... and the second is a way for me to become stronger.”

-Uhm....

The World Tree was fiddling with the teacup.

Is this such a difficult proposition?

Considering what she did to me, I don’t think it’s that difficult.

Didn’t you just say it as if you knew everything about me?

If you have that much confidence, I think you can fully answer my questions.

-I understand that I am getting stronger. But what kind of information do you want?

He shrugged his shoulders and said, ignoring her question.

“It’s simple. The reason I came to this world. “I want to know that.”

-Hmm....

She muttered as if she was in trouble.

She looked at me as if asking me why she was asking that question, then sighed and opened her mouth.

-Because you were chosen.

“So the reason you chose me...”

– I can’t tell you anything else than that. Even if you say it, you won’t understand.

“what?”

-●■ ◇▷!

I frowned.

A terrible sound stung my ears.

sick. My head throbbed and something warm flowed from my ears as if my eardrums had burst.

I frowned and covered my ears, and she looked at me with a dark face and closed her mouth.

As soon as I did that, the sound that had been bothering me disappeared along with it.

“Just... what was that?”

My burst eardrum regenerated and I frowned at my still throbbing head.

I felt sick.

-It is a constraint. The world moved because you heard things that shouldn’t have been heard.

How big is the scale?

The world moves just to stop you from saying a few words.

It was hard to believe it because it was so absurd.

However, the pain I experienced was still vivid enough to not believe it.

‘I can’t help but believe this... it’s driving me crazy.’

I couldn’t ask the most important thing.

Honestly, the thing I was most curious about was why I came here, but I couldn’t get the answer.

“Then why was I chosen?”

-As I just said, I can’t tell you that. Still, if you’re curious, all I can say is that no one can know that. Only he knows.

If it’s obvious, then it’s an obvious answer.

It wasn’t the answer I wanted, but I couldn’t read her inner thoughts, so I had no choice but to trust her.

It’s unfortunate, but it can’t be helped.

He even mentioned small details that made me wonder how a being that only existed in the south knew about it.

‘Is this why it’s called the World Tree?’

A tree that supports the world.

There was almost nothing she didn’t know about what was going on in this world.

There was almost no place she couldn’t reach.

The feeling that my every move was being watched gave me goosebumps.

She didn’t care about my reaction.

-Among them, there were definitely things you didn’t have to do. I could just close my eyes for a moment and run away without any problems. But you didn’t.

Her eyes sparkle as she talks about the bloody battle with monsters in the north.

-You were able to run away on your own. It was enough. Since you were with the dragon hatchling, the strongest creature on earth, you might not be able to take everyone, but you could easily escape on your own.

Still, he said he didn’t back down. He said he was looking for danger.

She reached out and grabbed my hand.

I didn’t avoid that hand. I couldn’t avoid it.

-Just as you have done, please continue to do so. If you do that, this world can be saved because of you.

That’s a good thing.

It was strange that he didn’t like it when he said he trusted me.

However, after hearing that, I felt a little dumbfounded.

“Knowing that, I did something like that... How should I accept it?”

-Uh... about that.

At my question, she takes her hand away from me and steps back.

She lowered her sparkling eyes towards me and wiggled her fingers.

-That’s... I’m sorry. I knew that, but I wanted to be clearer. And I wanted to know how you would react.

“....”

Since I didn’t say anything, she rolled her eyes as if she was anxious.

Looking at her like this, her emotional expression was surprisingly clear.

Her every gesture and expression were so lively that it was hard to believe she was scolding her.

That may be why I was more possessed.

It’s so vivid that you believe it’s real.

“it’s okay. “I decided to skip that.”

-Oh, thank you.

“I know roughly what you mean. “I’m asking you to do what I’ve done so far.”

Move to survive like you have done up until now.

That’s what she was saying.

It was something I did to survive, but because of that action, the future that was set for me changed.

Please continue to do so in the future.

‘Well, in a way, it’s natural. Because in order for me to live, this world needs to be okay.’

Conversely, Ahar’s goal is to exterminate humanity on the continent.

I have done my job by simply preventing his purpose, which is directly opposite to mine.

“But what happens to me when it’s over? Are we going back to the world we came from?”

-Do you want to go back?

Do you want to go back... Well, I don’t know yet.

I know I can’t go back right now.

When I can go back, maybe when this world becomes peaceful and when Ahar dies.

It will be then.

But if that happens, do I really need to go back?

The reason I wanted to go back right away was to survive, but when this world becomes peaceful, that reason disappears.

Wouldn’t it be better to live here?

Should I give up now that I am peaceful and have the power and power to do anything?

I am different from the main characters of other creative works.

Unlike those who were trying to return to Earth somehow, my goal was safety.

Now... I’m not sure.

I would hate it if I had to go back to the incompetent me I was back then.

-The choice is yours. And since we still have a long way to go to make that choice, why not stick to the present for now?

I nodded.

That’s right. There’s no need to worry about something you can’t do yet.

I shook my head to shake off my thoughts.

“Then now give me a way to become stronger.”

Now that the question has been answered, it’s time to get something else.
