314 Lesson 313
"Oh, right. You wouldn't know if they suddenly told you. After the demon king was defeated, I took your lives. That's when you were returned to your original world with Francisle's repatriation magic. Right?
The main town confirms what it knows.
"Yes, I spent three years on Earth until I was subpoenaed again."
Hongo was satisfied with Ethereum's reply, which nodded to it.
"Is it still true? Then it wasn't a mistake to see it then... I saw where you would be flown when you were bewitched to return. You seem to have lost consciousness."
Hongo watched Ethereum's body, which had been subjected to repatriation magic, become powerless.
"... when I'm deported, does that mean you see that there's a path leading to the original world?
That's what Aeta asks, whose memory is vague at the time of the repatriation, but Hongo shakes his neck sideways.
"No, it's probably the white space you were flown into. You must recognize him too... because that's where that goddess is!
Hongo's anger creeps up as we speak.
"Why are you in such a place with your face? This is my prediction, but I think that place is like a passageway from Earth to this side, which I always go through when I travel from this side to Earth. Actually, I stopped by there, and so did you, didn't I?
I see his purpose gradually.
"You... you want revenge on that goddess? To clear up that grudge, which led to a life of misadventure."
Hongo smiles at Ethereal's words when he realizes his thoughts.
"That's a good guess. I don't hate smart ones. I've been looking for a way to get to that space for years. I've tried many different ways, gathering powerful magic, looking for weapons to kill and tear down space. But none of it was ever going to deliver."
That's it. Hongo has blessed heaven.
"But I found it. Way to go. In the first place, the magic of repatriation is the magic of connecting spaces by completely burning out the magic of every person because of the difficulty of sending them to the place of destination. That seems to require a wedge being struck in the soul that you have summoned. I could have used that, but I didn't want to increase the number of transporters any more, so I stopped using that method... you guys have been summoned."
Hongo has a complex look.
"But I found another way. Burn all magic to unleash explosive magic. Then, if you can get as much power as you deserve, you can create a path that connects to that space. I had what I needed to do that... it's a treasure ball filled with dragon people's souls"
Hearing that, Aeta felt all sorts of things connected. Every piece of information that was fragmentary seemed to fit.
"... well, you realized Reginald's jewel would have enough magic. And it was taken by the elders"
"You're right, it's still good to guess. The explanation is easy and helpful. I noticed what Gregor Marvin took and ran away with, but it wasn't until a while before I found out how useful it was. I rushed to search him, but I couldn't find him."
This was why the dwarves were being chased by the Empire.
"For your own sake only, you've been after dwarves for so long... are you crazy"
"Ha ha, don't tell me that. Not bad for you, either, huh? You're the one who's driven life crazy for being sent into this world by that goddess, aren't you? If you can make that cause blow a bubble, that's about as much sacrifice, right?
Aotearoa moved her eyebrows pickly at Hongo's statement, which she decided would be the same as herself.
"That much sacrifice, you say? The dwarves can't settle because of you, and they're still living a wandering life, right? That's about it, huh? Don't be ridiculous."
There was no absurdity in his voice, but there was anger in Ethereum's words. Gregor, Marvin told me to ask for the dwarves, because for Ethereum, they had become one of the things to protect.
"Ugh, you don't get it. I want to keep guys like me from showing up in the future. I don't give a shit about reincarnation or metastasis. But the ritual of summons is occasional somewhere, like you and the ones who were summoned with you. When you're a reincarnator, it's also natural that no information comes out at all. Still, I managed to find it and met a lot of former Earthlings, but there was a handful of things like you that would give me a smooth sail life."
To put it that far, Hongo rose.
"So I'm going to take you down and get where you want to be. I could give you an approximate idea of where the Dragons are. I'm going to head there on this airship."
Hongo had his hands wide open.
"You think it's a airship? No way. This is it?
Aotea's surprised face makes Hongo smile.
"Surprised? Yes, this is my stronghold, as well as a airship for travel. It took me a little while to create all this stuff, but I can come back as many times as I want. It hasn't happened in hundreds of years."
He has the face to do it, but his words still go on.
"And the place of the Dragon Men... is empty, isn't it?
I'm surprised both Ethereum and Deena opened their eyes to the main town where I said so while pointing up above.
"Why did you do that!
"Ha, I thought it was a calm one, but sometimes you change your expression that much. Well, that's an easy prediction. I've searched most of the ground, and all that's left is the ocean floor or the basement, and then there's the sky. Besides that, one of my men is witnessing that ancient dragon of yours, that guy, flying far into the sky. If you look closely, there was a man on his back."
Hongo said so with a winning face, and Aeta, who opposed him, was clouding his expression.
"You mean they were watching... that was a faulty one. But if we take you down here, we'll have no problem."
Aeta hands the moon at night when she decides she's finished listening to the whole story. The problems caused by the sweetness of his thoughts made him calm himself, and Aeta, who had changed his mind so much, raised his fighting spirit in his eyes and stared strongly at the main town.
"I still have some unfortunate stories about me, but you seem to have caught fire already. That's good, let's deal with him. I'm telling you, I'm not gonna be as easy as the rest of them, okay? I've lived hundreds of lives!
Those long years made him acquire many skills. And at the same time I was muddling his spirit......
