How To Raise Your Regressor Chapter 29 - There Was No Meaning

Chapter 29 - There Was No aning

"I saw it."

Hmm?

She saw 'it'?

What exactly did she see?

"Can you be a bit more specific?"

Hmm, the fact that she stayed behind ans that she wanted to talk to alone, so she must have witnessed sothing important.

What could it be?

Don't tell the little Shadowlord has a skill or sothing that shows her I'm not the Samur this 'World' knows.

That would be pretty amusing, but yea, not ideal.

"I saw you kill Dynogaur." Her eyes stared into mine.

Dynogaur? Hmm.

"Are you talking about the Minotaur?"

He was the only existence I killed with my own hands- with my own two arms, to be more precise- since I took control of this body.

Unless she's also a Transmigrator and has co from a World I once lived in.

"Yes." She nodded.

Well, at least she's not a Transmigrator.

"I see. Does that an you were awake in that crystal?"

"In a sense."

"In a sense?"

"I was not truly awake. I was only sharing my senses with Dynogaur."

Oh my.

"Were you close with him?"

"He was like my family." She smiled slightly.

Shit, just as I expected.

So I ended up killing the one being that was there with Clentine the whole ti she was imprisoned in that crystal.

That's gonna be a yikes from , bro.

Aight, ti to handle this situation like a mature adult. Because no matter my reason, I did end up snatching away her family.

"I'm truly sorry." I bowed my head.

I can only imagine what it must have been like for her.

Being encased in a dark crystal for thousands of years while staying in a semi-conscious state must have been a terrifying experience.

Within the darkness that was her life, Dynogaur was probably the only source of light.

And we, no, I took that light away from her. I barged into her ho and massacred her family.

She was then brought here, to a new place, and was asked to think of , the man who took her world away from her, as her brother.

This is sothing I must take responsibility for.

"Thank you for saving him." Her eyes drooped.

"What?"

She's thanking for saving the guy that I actually murdered?

"By killing Dynogaur, you granted him his only wish." She smiled again, this ti derisively.

"I see."

Well, the Minotaur did scream at us to kill him.

But he's not the one I'm concerned with.

"That's why I want to thank you." She bowed.

"I understand." I nodded and Clentine raised her head.

I looked into her eyes for so monts and found what I was looking for.

"By the way, how do you feel?"

"What do you an?" She titled her head.

"After all is said and done, you are the one who lost soone important to you."

"Oh, that… I said that Dynogaur was like my family, but that wasn't really the case."

"Really?"

"Yes, I was the only one who could feel what he felt. To him, I was likely nothing more than an inanimate object." She giggled abashedly.

Ouch.

"That doesn't answer my question."

It still doesn't tell how she truly feels about his death, though.

"Eh?" Clentine's eyes widened. "I, uh, yes, I feel grateful that Dynogaur got what he desired."

Good grief.

"Clentine. I did not ask you how you felt about Dynogaur."

"Huh?"

"What I'm asking from you is simple. How do you feel about YOURSELF after losing soone who YOU considered close to YOU?"

"…"

"Go on."

"T-that is irrelevant." She averted her eyes.

"The one standing before is you. The one thanking for killing a family mber is you. So yea, I think it's very relevant."

"No, it does not matter."

This gal's incorrigible.

"Why?"

"Because it was Dynogaur's wish to die, and you granted it. I have no right to interfere between you two." She took a deep breath, trying to control herself.

"And who decided that? Was it Dynogaur? Did he tell you that you do not have the right to feel anything for him?"

"…I think we have discussed this long enough. I should be going now." She turned around and walked towards the door.

Oh wow, she's trying to use a move which I have long since mastered.

Well, I guess I have no choice but to think out of the box.

"You know, I think you're wrong."

"About what?" She answered without looking back.

"You should not be thanking for killing Dynogaur."

"Why not?" She stopped and turned back to .

"Because I enjoyed it." I smiled.

"What?" Her eyes widened to a dangerous degree.

"Yes. Killing him was quite satisfying, actually."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it." She scoffed.

"By the way, you said you witnessed the mont I killed Dynogaur, right?"

"Yes, unfortunately."

"So tell , what were his final monts like?"

"…I'm not sure where you are going with this."

"Just humour ."

"I respectfully refuse."

As expected, even though she truly opened her eyes only a few days ago, as the Shadowlord, she's ard with the sa knowledge, thinking capabilities and power as a normal adult Shadow.

"That's a sha. Allow to do the honours then."

"Like I said-"

"Dynogaur's last mont were, for a lack of better term, pathetic."

"…" I could almost hear her gnashing her teeth.

"Look at it this way. When I killed Dynogaur, ti was flowing at the pace of a turtle."

"…What's a turtle?"

Wut?

"It's an animal that moves extrely slowly. My point is that the ti had slowed down to such a degree that it had practically stopped. Are you with so far?"

"Haaah, yes."

Hmm, have I finally piqued her interest?

"So, not only did I kill Dynogaur by attacking him on his back, he also didn't know that he had died. For him, his life stopped just like that. There was no glorious battle, no sense of satisfaction. He just dropped dead."

"Oh no…" Her voice and eyes trembled.

"So do not thank , for his death was pointless."

"It was NOT!" She waved her hand in a frenzy.

"Is that you think?"

"There was no way his death was aningless!"

"Oh, but it was. In fact, his entire life was aningless, now that I think about it. What did he live and fight for? To protect a glorified crystal from tomb raiders? Utterly aningless. And what did he ultimately die for? Because I needed an 'ingredient' to save Noelle's life. Absolutely aningless."

"YOU!"

"And what about your relationship with him? He didn't even know that you were sentient, much less that you could feel what he felt. So, it was just as aningless."

"Wha?!" She froze.

"So, just like I said, everything was… hehehehe, aningless."
