Volume 3 Chapter 60 (1/2)
「I have a request to make, Tooru-chi! 」
Entering the cabin of ical shi+p, Riruna had an expression of determination on her face
Her face seems to have been damp and soft, and I could see a trace of dry tears on her cheeks It would seeo was actually overheard by her
「… Don’t tell me, by request you mean That you want to fuse the Divine Corpse into your own body, you aren’t going to start saying soht? Tachibana-san?」
「Yeah, that’s exactly it」
Casually nodding the side tail hair of the Gal Yuusha swayed
Although I expected it,with a headache
crap…… There is just so s I could say to retort to her sudden crazy proposition that I don’t even knohere to start
「Say, if you heard our conversation you would have also understood the risk involved, right? The chances ofthe Divine Corpse with your body and then usingwe understand very well, we don’t even knohat negative effects it may have on your body and on your mind」
The Divine Corpse is the De’s corpse; it’s power is the real deal Even if she may be the “Hero”, we can’t say that she will be safe from any side effects
There is even a possibility that her heart becomes corrupted and destroyed into a thousand pieces before ic can even activate
No… Even before we get to that fact, there’s also so else…
「Tachibana-san, why are you even considering being placed under ic? Don’t you know that you will become my slave? 」
If she was at least in love with me like in Princess Sistina’s case, it may have made soht evil, isn’t it her worst case scenario if she gets caught by an “Evil Slavemancer” like me?
「That’s cause we have no other way right? In order to stop that giant… in order to stop Oruto…」
Without changing her expression, Riruna was looking through theof the Magical shi+p to the scene below…… The giant as born fro mass of rock which used to span over 1 k Paravata city
I see, is this what this is about…
「You feel a sense of responsibility as the Hero, or is it that you’ve seen through your trusted partners true uilt? Tachibana-san, you seem to be extremely desperate」
「Tooru-sama…」
For soh to
If I were to think about it carefully, I had been trying to think of a solution to subject Riruna to ic all this ti herself toto stop her… But for so out of my mouth
「And so are you trying to becoh? For what? To do a double suicide with Oruto and the divine corpse? I can only see that as nothing but a cheap selfish action Is that the kind of Hero you are? I’m totally disappointed in you」
「………That’s not it, Tooru-chi」
「What am I mistaken about?」
Still having eyes of determination, Riruna took one more step towards me
And then, she suddenly sled
This was not the face of a huiven up in despair
「I know that having the divine corpse attached tois… Becoical slave? I didn’t make that kind of decision because I was desperate you know? After all this is the result I ca about it for myself」
「What do you mean…」
「I mean that if it’s Tooru-chi I know that you will be able to properly e and control my powers」
Looking into hts
「……Are you serious, Tachibana-san? I don’t think I am the man you think me to be———」
「 You aren’t good enough? Is that really true? Toori-chi, aren’t you the one who doesn’t really understand yourself?」
「Wha…?」
Looking atinto the depths of my mind, and I was suddenly at a loss at how to reply
「Tooru-chi, you think really fast and you are always composed, I see you as sos and always knohatthan I am」
「I am…?」
「Yeah I couldn’t see through nor understand what Oruto was really thinking Even though I was together with Oruto all this tis turned out like this」
The Gal Yuusha seemed lonely as she showed a bitter smile
I see since a long tio, I viewed Riruna as soest everything by pure talent and good sense……
But when it coal talent of hersable to understand other people
「I think that if I was going to do this alone, I will probably make the same mistake That’s why I need someone who can control my powers as the Hero Because of this event, I realized it…… Even Oruto once said that there is a necessity to properly use the Hero’s power correctly」
As the hero who is one of the only people ill be able to contend against the Dereat responsibility that comes with the power
For her to realize that she was still immature in terms of her spiritual aspect, her idea may have some validity
But even so…
「But even so, beco leap of faith? How do you know that I won’t misuse your power as the Hero?」
「If it’s you Tooru-chi, I believe in you」
「On what grounds———?!」
Speaking as if she understood er
Just what did she think she knew about me?
Without even knowing my true colors and yet how can she believe me with such simple-mindedness
「I do have a basis for it Tooru-chi, you e and I found my dreams because of you, Tooru-chi」
「……Your courage and your dreams?」
Riruna had this distant look in her eyes
What was it…? It’s like a faintto resurface itself…
「Ahah, as I thought you don’t reht not have been anything special But, for h reason to believe」
「……If you are basing it on soht have changed since I came into this neorld? Thethe Slavemancer that is…」
「Mn~…… I do think that you have parts of you that changed, but I think that the root of you has not changed This is the conclusion I ca to Hi you talk outside of the door just o」
Rather than saying that her eyes were clouded, it was more like she had an excessive amount of expectations of me, and she had a very optimistic view
Riruna’s tone of voice was somehow filled with this mysterious conviction
「Moreover If, I have seen wrongly and if Tooru-chi in fact turns out to be a very evil person…」
「If I am then what?」
「At that time, I will beat Tooru-chi up!」
「……Ha? No, I ic…」
I was talking to her in a serious face, but Riruna was answering e sunflower
「That kind of thing, I just have to fight it off withspirit and my will-power! After all… I am the Brave Hero!」
Don she smacked her chest——— but because her breasts were enormous, the sound washer baseless claireat confidence
I could only open my mouth widely as I was taken aback in astonishment
「Fufuh…… Ufufuh Riruna-san is an a person」
Princess Sistina was just silently observing our conversation up till now, but she now joined in as she covered her mouth with the back of her hands that was covered in a pretty lace to laugh elegantly
Being caught by the h a little
「Hahah…… What’s this Princess, it al me “This is Tooru-sama’s loss”」
「I’m sorry, that was not my intentions But I also think that she has a point in what she says…… In regards to Tooru-saements, Tooru-sama has my full trust and confidence in this matter」
The blonde hair blue eyed Princess bowed gracefully I returned a wry smile and faced towards Riruna
「I understand, you have convinced me, Tachibana-san」
「!! In that case?!」
Good grief, to think that I originally wanted to force her to be subjected toforced by her… What an unusual turn of events
Whenever I associate irl known as Tachibana Riruna, for soo out of order
But… Strangely, I didn’t really hate it right now
「Fine then, I will ical slave and create a plan to stop that Oruto However… on the condition that ill not be using the Divine Corpse」
「Ehhh!? B-but if we don’t use it then———」
But how are we going to ic work on her? This is the ht now
Nevertheless, I ca the conversation a little while ago
The hint was given toquite casually
「Before anything, I have aYou will cooperate with me won’t you, Tachibana-san?」
「A ical dream world……?」
「Yeah… I’ll try to explain it as easily as I can for Tachibana-san, think of this world as so that is exists within your dreams and which can only be accessed while you are asleep」
I started to explainto me were Riruna, Princess Sistaina and lastly the person that we needed to make this plan work, the Dark Elf Priestess, Dianne
「Ohhh~! There’s such a thing?!」
「If I am not mistaken, this is the place that the powerful deh How is this related to the current situation I wonder?」
「Listen up, inside of your dreams, is a world based on your spirit In order words, the physical body that exists in this world has no relation to the dream world…」
「……Ah!」
The intelligent Princess was the first to be startled and recognized my ideas
「In that realic becomes ineffective…?」
「Umm, you mean to say that Tooru-chi, you will coic on me!? Uwaa, so much fantasy~!」
What is she on about at this late hour, isn’t this world a fantasy in itself…
Yes, this is an idea that came to me, when she mentioned the word “dreao
「But I can see a variety of different obstacles, Tooru-dono The first being, is it even possible to use Enslaveic in the dream world?」
「Ahh, Dianne, in that regards there won’t be any problems I have already confirmed the possibility with the demoness that created the world」
During the ecchia state where I had been able tothat I could use ic on the vulnerable Mikura——— And this fact was also confirmed by herself
「I see, but another thing is…… Will it be possible to make both Tooru-dono and Riruna-dono enter into the “same dream”?」
「Ahh, that’s where the problem lies Therefore, Dianne, I will need to borrow your power」
「My power…?」
The brown skinned Priestess was doubtful of my words and repeated them back at me
In exchange for her eyesight, she possesses and extraordinary sensory ability It is her ability to perceive supernatural things
Her poere keen enough to be able to sense that the Divine Corpse which was eroding her body was actually holding a will, and she had a vague sense that it was a powerful hich ended up belonging to the De
「As for Dianne, I will have you play the role of being our radar or sonar」
「r-redar? sonaa?」1
「Tooru-chi, unless she’s from earth, I don’t think she would understand those words you just used」
「Woops! Well, it’s kind of a like a detector or a probe…… In any case, the first thing I will do is place Dianne under ain And with that, I should be able to have a connection established between us as you will becoical slave」
