Chapter 37 - It looks like I’m in high spirits by myself!
Translator Edit: Thy Unsus
The Lain Bs who were on standby in the air lost their power, and Lain watched them fall.
She didn’t know what specifically had occurred. It was because Lain wasn’t aligned with the Lain Bs.
But, she knew Yogiri turned the power of instant death towards the Lain Bs.
Unless it was like that, immortal vampires are unable to do the likes of dying.
Crashing into the sand-covered ground, the Lain Bs unsightly smashed and disappeared imdiately. It was because she was able to make them so that the parts which beca unnecessary vanished.
“U, um, this one body……” (Euphemia)
Seeing the picture of hell that was people falling down and smashing, Euphemia spoke timidly.
“It seems Lain B was done in. Whether or not were made from the sa template configuration, it seems everyone was done in if he killed one.” (Lain)
“As I thought, you shouldn’t get involved with Yogiri Takatou!” (Euphemia)
“Is that so? It seems it would be fine if I just make duplicates with slightly different configurations next ti. In that case, it’s not supposed to spread to the rest even if one dies.” (Lain)
Even with Lain B actually dying, Lain wasn’t affected. There appeared to be a limit to even Yogiri’s power.
Even regarding his response towards killing intent, there were subtle differences depending on the situation. Perhaps around that was the key of capturing Yogiri.
She was of the impression that a break in the deadlock thod would be found if she advanced her investigation a little more. But, Lain, feeling the response, was discouraged.
At the end of the day, Yogiri wasn’t able to kill an Original Blood immortal vampire.
——There was no use anymore if that’s the case.
Lain lost interest in Yogiri.
Although he was a traitor to the sages, it wasn’t sothing that only Lain must deal with. If they weren’t able to overlook it no matter what, it was fine if only the other sages who thought so dealt with it.
——He seems to have gotten rid of Kurayami. There may be a way to use him even with him being left alive.
His utility value was high because he could kill invaders. It ought to be okay even with him being sothing called a sage if he liked. In that case, they would be ignorant towards him killing the sages.
But, she would think about that later. Now that Kurayami was annihilated, there was no use in this place.
Lain tried to go back, and then she noticed an abnormality.
Euphemia hadn’t moved even with a twitch since so ti ago.
Similar to being frozen, she didn’t even make a slight tremor of movent.
And then, Lain noticed that she herself was also the sa and she couldn’t move.
——What happened!?
Lain was perplexed by the unexpected phenonon. Feeling this much surprise, it would be her first ti since she ca to this world.
Her state was similar to being completely frozen in ti. Because of this phenonon, Lain realized a hard to believe in possibility.
Her real form was dead.
Now, even the Lain in this place was a duplicate made by her real form just like Lain B. However, she wasn’t an impromptu existence like Lain B, but she was sharing mory with her real form with a link.
This was the true nature of her immortality.
Her real form existed in a safe place, and did the act of duplicating. No matter how much her duplicates would co to nothing, it was fine if she just produced another duplicate on the spot.
However, the vital link had been interrupted. As soon as she wasn’t able to contact her real form, her latest state wasn’t reflected.
For that reason, the Lain who was in this place was continuing to think independently.
However, she wouldn’t even have a long ti for that. It was because the Lain in this place was existing as she was designed on the premise of being linked to her real form.
This body would be unnecessary if the link was severed, and she’d vanish. It was sothing that couldn’t be helped because a duplicate was a dependant existence.
The Lain of now was sothing similar to an after image. Properly speaking, she wasn’t sothing that was conscious, she was only a temporary existence which only appeared during corresponding periods and synchronization.
Whether or not it was sothing similar to a revolving lantern phenonon, Lain was thinking about it in order to delay this mont.
——Did he barely manage to reach the real form from Lain B?
Lain was in admiration, and then relief.
Lain B and her real form weren’t directly connected. And yet, Yogiri Takatou was able to kill her real form which existed in another dinsion.
She didn’t know what kind of reason would it be like that for. That was too irrational, it was an ability with strength to the point of it being stupid.
But, that was quintessential point.
That quintessential point was sure to be able to save that child.
Just before she vanished, Lain was full of hope.
The next day after the series of events.
Yogiri and others were in the central plaza.
A great number of tents were prepared for the victims in the space of the plaza, and Yogiri and others also lodged there.
The zombie uproar, Kurayami’s attack. And then the large-scale destruction due to the sage.
He didn’t know from where it was fine to give his hands, and although the circumstances appeared to be desperate, Ryouta started to support them imdiately.
He found out the situation of damage, and requested aid from the neighboring towns. He rescued the victims, scraped up the necessary materials together, and offered lodging spots to the people who were burned out of a ho.
“Although I finished waking up, are you alright?” (Tomochika)
“I’m still sleepy but, well, sohow.” (Yogiri)
Yogiri and others headed towards the building which was prepared as a disaster prevention room.
Entering inside, they went towards the side of Ryouta, who was the counterasure room monitor.
“No, thank you, truly. Yesterday was saved!” (Ryouta)
As one would expect, Ryouta’s face was tired because he hadn’t slept, but his entire face floated a smile as he greeted Yogiri and others. It appeared that he truly was thanking them.
“Err, even with you saying thank you, what about the sage? We completely finished her off……” (Tomochika)
Tomochika returned it mixed with confusion. Since he was a sage’s official, it appeared she thought it wouldn’t be a situation where he was delighted.
“It’s fine it’s fine. Damn the respect towards a person resembling a human bomb.” (Ryouta)
Ryouta had beco defiant.
“But, the city was safe because there was a sage’s barrier, right? Is it alright?” (Tomochika)
“Sooner or later, a new sage will be in charge. Until then, we’ll make a wall and pull through. So, I wonder if there’s so use. It’s this situation, but I said I would do anything I was able to. There may also be things you must wait a little while for.” (Ryouta)
“Yes. We are thinking we will leave the town imdiately.” (Tomochika)
That was the reason Yogiri who had been continuing to sleep, even when it beca morning, had woken up.
Tomochika had strongly appealed that they should leave this town imdiately.
Tomochika was concerned about Yogiri who had killed ordinary citizens. Although it was rely Yogiri turning the tables on them, there would be complicated feelings from the surviving citizens.
There may even be people among them erging who were thinking about revenge.
“Although that’s fine, the train won’t move yet?” (Ryouta)
“It is like that, but is it fine even if we take a truck which is in the plaza?” (Tomochika)
“One of the ‘Immortality Corps”? Certainly, it possibly could go until the royal capital if it is that, but is such a thing okay?” (Ryouta)
“Yes. What is fuel for that? Would there be gasoline in this world?” (Tomochika)
“The vehicles of this world move with magical power. Because they are used in the form of magic stones, it isn’t particularly necessary to use magic. I understand. Please wait just a short while. We will service it before departure.” (Ryouta)
It beca sothing like that.
The morning of the next day again.
When Tomochika and others went to the truck, there was a large quantity of goods being brought in.
The truck was an unrefined rectangle, and there were six tires attached. It was sothing developed in this world with the model of an armoured car for military use.
“Is this fine? Despite the city being in such a state.” (Tomochika)
With feelings of ‘I’m sorry’, Tomochika spoke to Ryouta, the commander of the transport work.
“It’s fine. Without you coming, the damage of the town was sure to be unjustifiable with a degree like that.” (Ryouta)
“But if we didn’t co, it may not have beco such a thing.” (Tomochika)
“Well, it’s inevitable even with you saying that. From the start, there was no significant reason for what sage-sama did, so there’s no chance of understanding whether or not you guys were the cause. It’s possible that that invader attacked with no connection to sage-sama.” (Ryouta)
Yogiri agreed that it was a thing like that.
“Alright, the loading has ended. We have prepared in advance the things that were necessary. Since there was a surplus of magic stones also put in, it will be enough to make it to the royal capital.” (Ryouta)
Ryouta explained about the goods and the fundantals of the truck. As Yogiri had gotten into the truck quickly, Tomochika decided to listen to that.
“Thank you for everything.” (Tomochika)
“Well then. Be careful so that you don’t fall from the cliffs.” (Ryouta)
Ryouta held out his hand. The two people shook hands and parted.
Tomochika also boarded the truck.
Yogiri was sitting in the passenger’s seat already, and he was playing his handheld ga.
“You aren’t driving!? You said your specialty was Mari? Kart!” (Tomochika)
Tomochika was under the impression that driving was sothing only a man did.
“It isn’t my speciality. I only said there were tis when I did it. I always bump into the wall when I curve, but is it fine even with driving a thing like this?” (Yogiri)
“I think you should you step on the brake!?” (Tomochika)
Yogiri could not be entrusted with driving.
Climbing over Yogiri, Tomochika sat in the driver’s seat.
“But I haven’t even touched the real thing, is it alright I wonder—” (Tomochika)
『What? It’s fine with planning to board a large ship since I will initiate the Dannoura-Style Travel Technique.』(Mokomoko)
“Could you not cheaply stick ‘Dannoura’ onto everything!?” (Tomochika)
Incidentally, there also was the existence of a technique called the Dannoura-Style Flying Body Press, and it was her sister’s signature move.
『I am well-inford if it is the driving thods of even tanks and helicopters! You cannot make light of a Dannoura!』(Mokomoko)
“Within my ho, what on earth are they planning to do……” (Tomochika)
As it seed she noticed a terrible possibility, Tomochika stopped thinking about it midway.
She started the engine in accordance with Mokomoko’s instruction. It appeared the magic functioned in the interior, and the ters and operating system seed to not have changed from typical cars.
When she stepped onto the accelerator timidly, the truck began to move slowly.
“Well, departure!” (Tomochika)
Tomochika raised one hand and ordered cheerfully.
“……have a response or sothing like that!? It looks like I’m in high spirits by myself!” (Tomochika)
“Do your best.” (Yogiri)
Yogiri said without parting from his ga console.
“Yes yes, I’ll do my best!” (Tomochika)
They went towards the canyon first. What they were aiming for ahead of this was the Imperial Kingdom.
