Arc 23: Incoming New Threat
Chapter 208: An Interlude, and the Space Between Dinsions
I could’ve never thought it would be her coming out. For the one appearing right in front of to be the girl who, among closest aides of the [King], resents the most, it’s truly unlucky.
I’ve sohow managed to lead her outside the barrier... into the dinsional gap with the help of dinsional transition, but I don’t want to use this thod excessively. It takes ti to regain the necessary power to return to that world after all.
We confront each other in the gloomy dinsional gap with nothing in it. Her glaring eyes are sharp as usual. The grid-patterned barrier in between us is stretching as if showing the distance between the two people
「Just when I thought that the number of those lowly living humans was big compared to the numbers of the advanced unit that has been sent through the barrier... Was it your doing, you bastard? Endemuon!」
「Well, don’t make a mistake here. It will be troubleso if you guys are able to co out, so I’ve crushed every single one of them. Though the ruler-type, which you guys are, has still managed to co out, so it might just be a matter of ti until the barrier collapses」
It doesn’t an it’s that simple to just be able to co out even if I tell her that. It shouldn’t be. That’s because It will be a grave matter if they’ve found the seam leading to the world, won’t it?
「Oh well, whatever. I have a lot of things I want to ask you, bastard. You know where the [King] is, don’t you?!」
「I’ve told you already, I don’t know. Though it’s a certainty that the [King] is sowhere in that world. To begin with, I believe that you guys aren’t even thinking that the other side just doesn’t want to et with you. Am I wrong?」
「Shut up! The [King] wouldn’t have even gone mad if it wasn’t for your instigation, you bastard! The ringleader of all of this doesn’t have the right to look this self-important!」
Sothing like “instigating”... My reputation is bad. As for that, it’s up to the person in question to decide. I’m rely watching over things. Well, I’m aware enough that I’m providing a sufficient help.
「I will ask just in case, but... You don’t intend to leave this world, do you?」
「Don’t give that crap! Our goal is to take back [King]. There is no way that we will withdraw!」
「Take back... you say. Aren’t you mistaking it for [Capture] ?」
The girl... Nei starts to speak in anger while giving a vicious look to what I’ve said.
「Don’t lump together with those fellows...! It’s not that we want the power of [King]. It’s the [King] that is necessary!」
Everyone is searching for [King]. I know that there are so among them who, naturally, are downright harboring ambitions of being the [King]. It seems that this girl is different, but we’re at odds here because she is trying to restore the position of Fraze [King].
「I would like you to leave whatever it is that you are doing. I’m also quite invested in that world, and I’ve even managed to make an unusual friend there」
Mochizuki Touya. He’s an unusual guy. His judgnts do not lie with anything. He’s outside the standards of anything and everything. I feel like that he looks like a human, but he isn’t at the sa ti. He lives in that world, yet he also appears to be a human from another world. I’ve never t soone like that before. Is he perhaps from so sort of mutated species?
That reminds , the woman whom he calls [Nee-san] is abnormal as well. As I’ve suspected, they might be from a rare species.
I’m certain that he is not a bad guy. He had treated with kindness during our first eting, and it appears that after he thrusts his head into battles which have nothing to do with him, he gets the short end of the stick, doesn’t he?
If possible, I want to let him and the [King] et.
「We will take back the [King] even if we have to eradicate the lowly humans living in that world. It will happen no matter what you, bastard, do」
「I wonder about that. There might be an opponent more difficult than soone like , you know?」
The girl once again glares at with eyes full of hatred. Well, I suppose it can’t be helped since I’m the cause that snatched the [King] away from them.
I didn’t really expect things to turn out this way in the first place. We thought that even the [King] was lost, Frazes would select a new [King] and walked their new way.
However, they wished for power. They clung to their forr power instead of finding a new way. They desired to obtain that power even if that ant crossing over the worlds and destroy the people living in them.
Those guys were opposed in a great number of worlds and got a large number of people involved as a result. However, they don’t intend to stop. This remains to be my wish. In other words, I understand that it’s due to my own self-convenient hypocrisy that I have no choice but to try and minimize the damage as much as possible.
The [King] core absorbs the living energy of its host little by little. It then randomly transfers to another human body when the lifespan of that host ends. Most of the hosts don’t recognize its presence and live out their lives like always.
As such, it becos possible to transfer to another world after repeating this process several tis. The [King] then uses the accumulated power and begins its trip from that world to the world higher than the one it’s in.
At the ti the host dies, the [King]’s voice becos audible for only the mont when it transfers to another host.
Each ti this sound is being heard, [She] can feel it’s ascending the stairs little by little. [She] can believe that it still lives even if it changes its form sowhere in the world.
「Do the lowly humans of that world have the power to stop us?」
「Isn’t it a fact that they have brought down the advanced type?」
「Fu~n, It must have been the unnecessary hints you’ve dropped, you bastard. We will make sure to exterminate all of them once this hindering barrier falls!」
*Gan*, Nei strikes at the barrier within the darkness.
I’m located inside the barrier at this mont while she’s outside of it even though both of us are at the sa dinsional gap. She and her comrades, who can’t use the dinsional transfer like , can’t slip into this world through the cracks in the barrier. They have no choice but to accidentally find a seam which allows them to jump in.
This should buy us so ti. The other ruler-types must be trying to co through the barrier even now as we speak.
「I’ve asked this before but, how about joining forces with...」
「I refuse! Do not think that you can coax like you did with Rize! 」
「That’s too bad. She would’ve wanted to et with you too」
「... Is Rize healthy?」
「Yep」
She’s probably waiting for my return even while we’re talking right now. Though it seems that I’ll be a bit late this ti. Oh well, if it’s her, she should be okay.
「... I won’t forgive you the next ti we et. Wash your neck and wait for it」
Nei vanishes into the darkness leaving behind those words stating that there’s nothing more to talk about. Oh-my. It’s really troubleso.
Now then. I suppose it’ll once again take ti to return to the other side. That’s why I didn’t want to use the dinsional transfer. The other side might’ve turned into a scorched earth together with everything in its surroundings considering how our eting went down, so I suppose there’s no other choice.
Or maybe, Touya might’ve done sothing in that case? I feel like I would want to see that. It has been a long ti since I’ve seen such an unusual person.
The one before him was... certainly... it was around 5000 years ago, I think? That woman was certainly interesting as well.
That woman who was called Regina Babylon.
