How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Gaiden Episode 138

I blew a whistle and watched him.

What appeared was a being with blue wings and a shape similar to a human.

“If you look at it when your consciousness is hazy, you might look like a girl.”

There is no gender to that. It's not even a creature in the first place.

It's not even a fairy.

If you have to look at the lineage, it's a line similar to the spirits. However, their existence is more ambiguous than spirits.

“Are you a divine spirit born from the ley lines of this area?”

For example, a forest that cannot be burned by human hands, or a demonic landscape comparable to it.

It is not uncommon to hear that humans who have lost their way there are sometimes led by someone to escape.

“In any land, mysterious power flows.”

The leyline or the deceased energy unique to that land. To put it vulgarly, it may be a special product.

Well, the most common category is lakes. In such a place, it is stagnant and stagnant, and energy with will arises.

And in that kind of energy, the will is bound to sprout.

Especially in places with harsh climates and strong natural characteristics, there is often such a tendency.

In short, that guy is Fahilia's... … It is the will of the earth itself.

The question is, what is that guy thinking?

“You don’t seem to have a grudge against humans?”

A law that treats humans as harmful and might move.

‘In that case, I have no choice but to call Sylpia and purify this guy's entire existence.'

However, it seemed that there was no need to use tough measures.

There is no hostility.

If so, what do you think?

< … … . >

He wants to say something.

But at best, it just mimics the shape of the mouth. language cannot be

“hmm. hmm. Does that mean?”

Still, it's hard to hear.

Combining several means of communication, including telepathic pain, can result in brief communication.

Empathy is the foundation of dialogue. It is always good to have that means.

“Humans… … come a lot... … As promised? hmm? What are you talking about?”

I inadvertently chuckled.

It's not that I couldn't understand what he was saying.

Here's a quick summary of what he said:

< I promised to protect them when there are more humans. > means.

“what? Are you the one who allowed humans to live? … … what is that... …

ah… …

It was only then that I remembered what I was guessing.

“… … Was that what the village chief said?”

promise.

I remembered an anecdote the old man had told me not long ago.

“Actually it was a true story?. That feeling.”

He nods his head in a daze as if he doesn't understand my complaint.

“In short, can I take this prank to mean that you are certain?”

The culprit is you! and need not be pointed out.

The question is why.

“Did you say promise? So, was he the one who came over and told me about the promise or what?”

There is nothing else to think about. The man mentioned in the Pahilia Settlement that the village chief talked about.

“So what's the matter?”

< promise. I lent this land. Instead, he decided to keep his promise. >

“… … so?”

‘But I didn’t keep my promise. >I almost understood it.

Perhaps the story of not keeping the promise started when Fahilia held a festival... … To be precise, it must be because I didn't do a ceremony of gratitude to that guy.

“aha… … Did the bad weather in Fahilia in the past have something to do with it?”

Perhaps the meaning of the promise is to take care of humans so that they can live on this land.

In short, climate is probably the most relevant.

However, since you don't keep it, there will be no reason to keep your loyalty any longer.

‘… … In fact, it's a common thing.'

Rituals in which a price is offered to a being with strong power or authority and pray for peace are common.

“I understand that, but why did you come out now?”

that's the question

The promise is already out at the point when the party dies and the descendants do not keep it.

More than anything, this guy gave up and gave up. The reason is the current cold in Fahilia.

That said, there is a different reason.

‘… … Are we?'

I can't think of anything else. We could have provided most of the reasons for his capricious behavior.

< .. not you. 〉 But as he said that, he let out an intense chill. A reaction like a child screaming. The very coldness is about to wrap around my whole body. “Hmm… … I thought it wasn't a violent personality, but it's surprising.” < … … not you 〉 As he spoke one more time, the cold grew stronger, and solid ice crystals formed in the air. As it is, the grain gradually expands its area and spreads out in an instant, becoming a barrier of ice and trying to trap me. “Huh????? Observing the phenomenon leisurely, I thought about why that guy was behaving. It is not judged by hostility towards me personally. 'Hmm, am I seriously mistaken about something?' The evidence that comes out of experience is probably a little misunderstanding. And the country must be vigilant against the power emitted by existence. Leaving aside the former, you can be sure of the latter. 'When I go into an unexplored area, I am strangely attacked by those guys... … Such beings do not recognize our partners as ordinary human beings. It's probably about recognizing the aura that you have in the middle of the day. In short, they were intimidated by the presence of me or the other co-workers. 'Well, this itself is nothing.' I swung my arm as hard as I could before the block of ice enveloped me completely. It feels like a light swing, as if to drive away flying flies. Pachang! Just like the sound of glass breaking, all the ice it created shattered and scattered. < … … “First, clear up the misunderstanding. I have no idea what to do with it. … … It is also our home.” < lie. 〉 But he seemed unwilling to believe me. What flew along with that distrustful answer was the ice spear blade. Hundreds of them fly at once. I don't see anything. “… … Oh, this is dangerous.” I smiled bitterly and snapped my fingers. You can avoid it, but if it flies to the wrong place and hits someone, it's a big deal. It's better to take care of everything. Then, flames raged from all sides, enveloping the ice and burning it. “Hmm… … It's annoying.” It seems like an easy offset, but it's pretty embarrassing. In terms of the power shown now, it is on a level comparable to the 7th circle freezing magic. Maybe that's not the truth either. 'If I can't convince them here, it'll be a nuisance.' Even if it looks like that, it is a monster equivalent to Mother Nature. There's nothing you can't do if you want to get rid of it, but from experience, there is definitely an end to it. I don't know if it's on someone else's land or a place where people don't live, but I can't commit such violence in my front yard. More than anything. I don't have the hobby of getting rid of a guy who messes with me because of a misunderstanding. It is not that there is no way. Persuasion annihilation counterattack. Either way, I've experienced it to the point of getting tired of it. Fortunately, that guy's power itself isn't rotten. Perhaps it is because the land itself in Fahilia is not fertile. … … It's my territory, but it's a bittersweet fact. “I’m warning you, but were you the one who attacked first?” < … … ? >

“It means don’t complain after being hit.”

I grinned and looked for a gap, lightly dodging or offsetting his attack as if it were a joke.

“Here it is!”

I jumped up into the sky, peeked out from above, and finally found the place I was aiming for and descended at high speed.

It's kind of like an alter ego.

What I need to aim for is the main body that expresses that guy's intentions.

‘The body of this guy is the leyline itself of Pahilia... …

Among them, there is always a nucleus where the doctor gathers.

The basis for that certainty is experience.

“hot!”

I ignored him and slammed my foot down with all my might towards a certain point.

Quaang! With a roar, the ground around the area sank so easily.

At first glance, it may seem like hitting the wrong place.

this is the correct answer

< … … ?! >

The guy is puzzled.

Because I hit it right.

“Hahahaha! Here you are!”

Inside the land I destroyed.

The condensation ground where Pahilia's leyline flows must be the place where the core of the guy's will exists.

‘If I hit it down a bit more, it's possible to cut off the flow and make it disappear or weaken it.'

As I said, it's more of a loss for me.

Above all, there is no room for a conversation to end.

so… … .

“The negotiating table must be set by force!”

If the other party has no intention of negotiating, you can force them to sit in a chair, tie them up, and kindly give them a place where they have no choice but to sign.

… … uh? Was that kind?

what happened

“I’m not free either, so let’s finish it quickly!”

He slammed the floor once more. The previous blow was simply to check the guy's reaction.

And the second is for this.

“And activate the spell!”

The magic circles that were installed while avoiding the gaps reacted in unison.

Kugoong!

The ground rumbles once.

And even once is not enough, the vibration continues without a break.

earthquake.

< … … !! >

The guy is confused and doesn't know what to do, but it's already too late.

“Huh!”

As I pretend to raise one hand up, the roar grows louder and the vision around me soars upward.

It lifted a mass of land within a kilometer of the surrounding area as it was.

“It's a joke with a simple floating magic circle installed.”

And since the camouflage magic was meticulously set up, you wouldn't be able to see what was going on outside.

It is a kind of isolation measure.

The guy doesn't want to listen, so I forcefully cut off the flow and make him listen.

“If you do this, you won't be able to use your power anymore, right?”

< … … . >

As if my words were the correct answer, the spirit shuddered and sat down.

It doesn't have the strength to do more.

‘Well, the basis of that guy is the leyline itself in the Pahelia area... … Since I separated it, of course the power will decrease.'

In some ways, it may be a bit violent.

If I annihilate this land mass or leave it unattended for a long time, it will run out of fuel and disappear.

Anyway, once this conversation is over, I'm going to return it, so there's no problem.

< … … i die >

“Don’t kill me.”

If he let go of his shuddering now, he was ready to write a will.

It's defenseless, but it's okay. I don't even have the strength to attack anyway.

“Once you hear my story, I'll put it back in its place.”

< … … really? >

“I promise something.”

After putting it back to the end, there is no guarantee what will happen in the worst case.

That's the cowardly promise of an adult.

First of all, I spoke step by step so that he could understand.

“First of all, I am a normal human being.”

< … … common? >

I felt like he wanted to look at me and say, ‘Where the hell are you going?'

It's more absurd than that. what the heck do i look like? What kind of monster do you look like?

“You are a normal human being.”

< Strange. not human >… … Does it sound like I'm trash?

Anyway, let's get over it in moderation.

“Do many humans live here?”

Nod.

“It is none other than me who is in charge of them now.”

Even beasts form herds and have leaders. Although it's difficult to get people to understand the concept of me being a lord, if you compare it to that, you'll probably be able to convince them.

< guv… … But what about him? > Naturally confused. This must be the root of the misunderstanding.

“Humans die over time.

And maybe the person you know is from a few hundred years ago.”

Step by step. If you explain, there is nothing you can't understand.

Above all, birth and death are the laws of nature. Of course you can't know

< … … I understand. 〉 I admit it, but somehow it seems bittersweet. “Okay, if you understand that far, there is almost nothing I can tell you right now.” < … … ? >

“Why did you play this prank all of a sudden?”

Now it's my turn to listen. I don't think in the slightest that it was done as a simple prank.

there is something intentional

“Are you sure you don’t like humans living here?”

< doesn't care. 〉 I assumed it would be so. “Then, does that have anything to do with the promise you spoke of earlier?” < … … Yes. >

He readily acknowledged it.

And then he told his own story. How

a former pro

sucks honey
