227 223 余力は残したいんだがな (2/2)

On the way back to back, I had a light conversation with my mom and caught my breath and then started running again.

The efficacy of the remaining tools is very limited.

You'll be able to use the pendants given to you by Suela and the others, but you're not ready to use them yet, so you let go of your hand and start working on the control again.

You're going to be able to use it to get the job done.

This is a little awkward.

The body is well-trained even when the magical crest is not fully active.

Even if you move around with all your might, you won't run out of breath, but you will lose your strength.

A little sweat drips down your forehead, releasing water as well, and your body is hot, just enough to move your body, but you are aware of the energy being consumed in your body.

Your mind wanders to how much more you can do, how much more you can rampage at this pace.

Glancing at your mother, you see that she still seems to be moving around comfortably.

You'll be able to move around all day long, I thought with a wry smile, thinking about how to break the current situation, but even that mother is not an invincible superhuman.

She'll run out of gas sooner or later.

You have to get out of this situation before that happens.

At times like this, a pat on the head is the only way to get out of it. What's to be done?

The riot was rather worse, even though the head of the man who had made the speech was subdued.

Shrines are overrun by blind fanatics, and ordinary people, unable to escape the scene, endure the horror.

And when it comes to breaking the status quo, if you ask me if there's another leader here, I'd say not.

There is no deliberate movement of the opponent.

This seems to be more of a random action.

It's just recklessly spreading fear.

Yes, it seems to have only that goal in mind, but it is invisible.

The goal has already been reached, and it doesn't seem to have any other objective.

...... surveillance team. Is there any regularity in the enemy's movements?

I'm checking, but they seem to be moving around blindly. There is no indication that they are gathering in a certain place, acting collectively, or going in that direction. Little by little, we're making progress in getting the situation under control, and it's being dealt with as is.

”Copy that.

I try to talk to Earmike, but it's not the response I was expecting.

It's coming from a helicopter waiting up in the sky.

The information will be accurate as a bird's eye view.

And that information is telling us that things are improving, albeit slowly.

Then I'd like to think we'll just live with it.

...... heartburn.

It's a bit too uncanny how uncomfortable the other person's behavior is.

You may be thinking too much, but your recent instincts have picked up on areas that you may have overlooked.

I can't dismiss it just because of my imagination.

Then think.

What can you do with all the fear you've collected?

This is modern Japan.

It is a world devoid of occultism, of magic, goblins, mysteries, and illusions.

Terrorist actions by a crazy religious group that took place there.

What does this lead to.

Is that just the purpose of what Kirie said?

Is the goal just to pave the way to hell?

What is the purpose of such a space.

Recall the information and compare it to the information you experience.

What do they want?

What information do you care about?

”Mi, ko, sa, ma

The last words of the man who was giving that speech.

A miko.

A commonplace presence.

Is there a symbolism in that organization?

I don't know.

The more I think about it, the deeper I feel.

And then I thought, ”Should I focus on what I have to do now?

”Amassing fear?　Just gather?

I had only one explanation for this act.

It was when I had just joined the company and was being worked over by Instructor Fusio.

He's an immortal, isn't he?

”Kakaka, nephew. I am the one who has lifted death from the living! What do you mean?

I don't know why I wanted to be like that, after all?　Seeking immortality or something.

At the time it was a simple question that I just wanted to ask you why you became immortal.

There was something I wanted to do, and there wasn't enough time to do it. And so it is. So much for why beings like us are born.

”Is that what it is?

”Kakaka, it's all the more reason to try to do something big. They are nothing more than a small collection of reasons hidden in a great name. Kaka...there was a time when men slaughtered to bring down the gods. The reason is simple. Understand, Jiro?

”No, is it because you're wishing for something?

”It was simpler. I just wanted to see it. That's the only reason.

”For what reason?

Yes, for such a small reason, people can do big things. For such a small reason, people can do big things. In a way, people are more frightening than beings like us.

I don't know why I remembered the timing of this conversation when it should have been just that.

...... No way.

Fear is an emotion.

A thought is sometimes an energy that fills a place.

Haunted places and rumored lands that exist even today.

Man avoids approaching the place.

Rarely do curious beings visit the place, but rarely do they meet with misfortune.

Hence, one is afraid.

It is only hypothetical that there may be beings that one has never seen before.

And that hypothetical made me think of one possibility.

”It happens rarely. It's rare.” ”It's rare to misidentify disaster as a god and call it in. Familiar karma to us immortals. Curse incarnate, disaster is what people call it.

It is beyond human knowledge.

Sometimes people attribute natural disasters such as typhoons to divine punishment.

There is a phenomenon in Japan that tries to invoke it artificially.

God-surrender.

There are various ways to call it that.

Ritual prayer is the right way, but there are also evil ways.

The beings called by the evil ways are called by the evil ways.

The gods and

Raging God.

It is a disaster.

A god who brings no profit.

The right one for the atmosphere.

If that is what can be embodied.

If this turmoil, or even the paving of the way to Hades, is a process.

......

It's a gut feeling, but this bad feeling, never off.

And there is a sense that little by little the threads are connected.

Is this racket a decoy?　Apart from the real life?

The answer I came up with became a certainty in my mind.

Word of the Day

I was late to notice. Please be on time!
