Chapter 364 – Everything is Connected
“Beware, no! Earth, you flee! I shall―――”
The Hunters attack all at once.
A frightened Amicus cried out in a panic in my arms, but there’s nothing to worry about.
It’ll all be over in an instant.
“Hold on to so I don’t get blown away!”
“Eh?”
I freed one arm and lowered both of Amicus’ legs, which I had held in a princess carry, to the ground.
But my left arm was still around Amicus’ shoulder to keep her from being blown away.
Then I raised my right arm……
“And now, you bastards, fly to the ends of the world! Great Magic Spiral!”
“……………… Huh?”
Raising my right arm to the sky, I created a spiral vortex that blew everything away.
“Whaaat?!”
“Gyaaah!?”
“Whoa!?”
“Nuwaaagh?!”
The four n were sucked into the vortex and sent flying sky-high.
Then, when the rotation was stopped at a random point, the airborne n fell to the ground in a battered state.
They lay there twitching and convulsing. I don’t think they can get up and fight anymore.
But, the trees in the forest were also violently knocked down, leaving the forest in a desolate state, and it felt like I was destroying the environnt quite a bit, so I’ll apologize to Mr. Chieftain later……
“Ah…… Earth……”
“Hey, are you okay?”
“…………”
Amicus, who was in my arms, looked stunned with a blank expression.
“Hmm? Amicus, your face is red. Do you have a fever?”
“…………”
『Oh. To hear the child finally utter those words……』
I guess I startled her too much.
Wait, why does Tre’ainar look so annoyed? What’s going on?
“For now, you don’t have to worry anymore. I’ll deal with them later. When Slayer….”
“…… How ……?”
“Hmm?”
“How is it…… that Earth…… used that technique?”
“Huh?”
Technique? How? You an the Great Magic Spiral? Why…… No, no, on the contrary……
“No wait, Amicus, do you know about the Great Magic Spiral?
“Huh!? It can’t be… that truly was…… the Great Magic Spiral? But how!? Earth, how can you wield such a technique!? Why!”
“Eh? No….. I an…why……
Amicus approached , looking extrely surprised. Wait, don’t press your body against , it’s soft, no stay focused.
“Gu, no, way…… y, you got us…… in no ti …….”
“Hmm?”
“You’re no, ordinary…… brat… who the hell!”
At that mont, one of the Hunters, though still too battered to stand, just barely managed to regain consciousness and glared at .
I answered his question……
“My na is Earth. Earth Lagann. I am a man who aims for the world. Rember that.”
“…… What ……?”
“Eehh!??
When I said that, the man’s eyes widened and Amicus …… why is Amicus surprised? I introduced myself, didn’t I?
“Earth Lagann…… So? Then, uh… you’re……”
“Hmm?”
“Can’t be… you’re… the one ‘Master Shitnei’… was looking for…….”
“Huh? Shitnei? Who’s that?”
“Gaku”
“Hey! Don’t say sothing troubling and just pass out!”
The man completely fainted. He seed really surprised when he heard my na, but I’m not that famous, am I?
No, I don’t think I’ve done much that would be known publicly……
“Traina. Do you know who this Shitnei is?”
『I do not. Well, perhaps strange rumors of you are abound as the runaway son of the Hero, Hiro.』
“Huh?”
Sure, he might have reacted to the na “Lagann.”
Ah, then Amicus too……
“Lagann…… Ragaan…… Man……”
“Hmm?”
“…… Ragaan-man ……”
“Eh!?”
No way, an unexpected na jumped out of Amicus’ mouth.
Not only the Great Magic Spiral, but also why that na?
“Ragaan-man…… and The Great Magic Spiral…… Earth, what in the world…… what is happening?!”
“That’s my line. How do you know that na? Did Slayer or Espie tell you?”
“Why? Because, because, the Hero Ragaan-man… exists in a novel penned by my father, a tale known only in our village!”
“…… Hmm?”
What? Ragaan-man? Hero? A novel?
“Ragaan-man…… is in, a novel?”
“My father, a writer, penned that novel over ten years ago! It’s called ‘The Adventures of Ragaan-man’! The Great Magic Spiral is the signature technique of the hero, Ragaan-man! That tale exists only within our village… so how did you know of it, Earth? Did you learn it from older brother or sister?”
A novel about Ragaan-man? No, that’s… eh? It’s about ? A novel about ?
No, no, more importantly……
『Pukukuku, The Adventures of Ragaan-man…… Kukuku ……』
“Hey, this is no laughing matter, Tre’ainar. More importantly, this…”
『Ah, from what we have just heard…… Hehehe, this girl…… is the Chieftain’s ……』
“That’s it!”
There was only one elf who wrote novels. I got excited.
“Hey, Amicus, you don’t an to tell you’re the daughter of the chieftain!?”
“Eh… Uh, yes… that’s true but…….”
『Kuhahahaha, I see, I see! The chieftain’s daughter! What a coincidence!』
“Huh? Oh, huh? Huh?”
I never thought Amicus’ father was that chieftain. And what’s more, he wrote a novel about . It’s kind of embarrassing.
Even so……
“Hey, let take a good look at your face.”
“Huh?!”
“Hm~……”
“Oh, Earth!?”
――Dokin ♪ Dokin ♪ Dokin ♪
I take another close look at Amicus’ face.
“She doesn’t look much like Mr. Chieftain…… maybe she takes more after his wife?”
“Um, well, ah, Earth……”
――Dododododododododododododo!!!
Even so, where did she get such breasts when that wife was…… no, I an……
“Ah, um, Earth… y, you’re a little close.”
“Oh, sorry.”
“N, no, it’s…… it’s fine…… More than that, do you also know of my father and mother?”
“Well, sort of.”
In any case, I see…… for , it all happened just the other day, but it was such a long ti ago that the child of Mr. Chieftain and his wife, who wasn’t even born back then, was now the sa age as , and could et like this, as was the case with Espie and Slayer.
“I’ll explain later. But… it’s strange, but I’m glad to et you. Amicus”
“Eeehhh!!???
――Zukyuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ♡♡♡
『Oh, child…… you…… just now.』
The past of more than ten years ago was now connected to the present.
If the ogres had wiped out the elves back then, none of this would have happened.
What I’ve done, and what Aonii risked his life for, it all had aning……
“Biiig brotheeeeerr!!”
“Brooootheeeeerr!!”
At that mont, two people ca running from the distance, kicking up dust and calling for .
“Oh, it’s Espie and Slayer.”
“Po~…… Earth…… ♡”
“Hey, over here!”
I raised my hand and called out to them. The mont they saw my face, their expressions changed to relief……
“I did it! I found Big brother! He’s safe! But the trees seem to be in a terrible state, why?”
“Brother, what the hell is going on…… Hmm? Hey, Espie, is there soone with Brother.”
“Un…… that’s …….”
“Huh? …is that…Amicus!?”
“Eh? Why are you and Big brother together…… Whew!?”
“Brother and Amicus together!?”
“Why? A coincidence? Don’t tell Amicus went outside of the barrier without a word……?”
Huh? What is it? The two of them suddenly got really flustered… and their faces turned blue?
Why?
『…… Hmm…… Daughter of the chieftain…… Ragaan-man…… A longing for one who does not exist…… That look on Espie and Slayer…… Ah! That is what they ant! Everything is connected.』
And for so reason, only Tre’ainar beside seed to understand and clapped his hands.
“I, it’s okay, right? Even though it’s Big brother, it’s still okay, right! They just t, right?”
“O, of course! It hasn’t even been an hour since he left us, so it should still be fine!”
“That’s right…… Ah~, if I had known it would end up like this, I should have just said it outright instead of saying it in a roundabout way ……”
“Anyway, before it’s too late!”
“Biiig brotheeer!!”
“Brootheeeer!!”
They turned pale, then got relieved, then anxious, then turned pale again…what is going on?
But, the voices of my sister and brother shouting loudly drowned out the words……
『I see… It would be a painful experience… the flow of ti between humans and elves… their lifespans… they cannot be together forever…』
That Tre’ainar muttered to himself at that ti……
『Their ti together may be short………..』
I couldn’t hear it.
