Chapter 230 – Everyone Here in One Place (1)
Even though I told you in advance, I think it’s inevitable that tears come out when it’s time to break up.
Hehe! Jinwoo! Can’t you just stay? Hehe!”
When I told her mother that I had to go back to the world where Gaia was, she hugged me and cried sadly and did not lift me up.
Seeing my mother crying for no reason made me feel like tears would form in my eyes. I think I felt this way when I enlisted in the past…
Those were the days when I could barely hold back the surge of sadness I felt as I looked at her mother who did not want to let me go.
The difference from back then is that I went voluntarily.
“I’m sorry, Mom, but I have to go there.”
I’m really, really sorry to my parents, but this is something that can’t be helped. The reason I have to return to the world of Gaia is at the same level of logic as a person needs to breathe while living.
Considering that there is everyone waiting for me and that my happiness now lies there, I have to go there.
My father lightly tapped my hand on my shoulder and said nothing. But I can feel the message on his face telling me to do well even if I go there.
Ellie is in the process of taking off all the clothes she was wearing when she came here to her world and putting on the items she was originally wearing.
Oh, when I changed the equipment of Pingchaeng Chulongi, the character connected to Ellie in the game, strangely enough, Ellie’s equipment in this world also changed to match it.
Just looking at this gave me confidence that, other than Ellie, the equipment of my characters who returned to the other world would also have changed to the items I had farmed.
I hugged my crying mother and repeatedly said I was sorry. There was nothing else to say except that.
My mother cried for a while, but when she realized that she had to let me go, she finally let me go and waved her hand at me to say goodbye.
“Father, mother! I’m sorry for being such an unfilial child that you have to go like this!”
I thought they were parents I would never meet again, so I bowed deeply to them and shouted.
“But! You don’t have to worry! I will live happily with other companions besides Ellie! So you really don’t have to worry about me…”
I don’t know if it was because of my actions or if his sad feelings had calmed down, but he stopped crying.
“Okay… I got it, I got it, you bastard! Take care… And stay well…”
“Yes, Mom. Don’t worry. You, parents, take care of yourself.”
I bowed my head to my parents and said hello once more.
“Gaia! I’m ready, so summon me again! The location is Brighton Castle, and send it to the room before I came here!”
I shouted in my voice, not in my heart, so that I could be heard clearly. Additionally, I specified the location just in case.
“Yes, Jinu! Then, I will summon you… Here we go!”
As soon as I heard Gaia’s cry in my head, my vision, or rather, my memory, was completely cut off.
It would have been cut off.
Because when I came to, I was lying on the bed in my room at Brighton Castle.
Ah, yes… This is what it felt like. The day I was first summoned to this world.
That day when I opened my eyes after work and saw not a ceiling I knew nothing about, but just the sky.
Even when I think back to it now, it is a terrible memory. I never want to go back to that time again.
“Jinunim!”
At that moment, I turned my head when I heard a voice urgently calling me, and Gaia was standing there, looking completely devastated, unlike before. It was as if he had been attacked by someone else.
“Gaia…? What do you look like? What happened?”
“Well… While I was trying to call Jinu here, Chaos Alcatraz started moving…”
Timing kills once. I can’t believe it started moving at that exact moment.
“Chaos Alcatraz is moving north now. I think it might be heading to the dimensional gate Numeron.”
Has it finally started to move? Perhaps Chaos Alcatraz is planning to destroy Numeron, the dimensional gate, and invite demons into this world.
It’s not an unexpected move, but it feels like it’s finally here.
“Then we don’t have time to stay like this. I need to summon everyone again quickly.”
“Yes, please do it again.”
Gaia’s body began to gradually shrink along with the words she had just said. When she returned to her original form, Gaia’s appearance was completely identical to the glowing sphere she had first seen.
At the same time, I could feel Gaia’s power flowing into my body.
The ability to use the game system I had came as a bonus.
It seems that Gaia has made it possible to summon everyone by sharing the power she has recovered so far with me.
In that case, I should call everyone back right away.
“Before summoning Ji-nu-nim =, I have informed the warriors who did not go to the same world as Jin-nim that Jin-nim is planning to summon them. Don’t worry, you can summon them right away.”
I thought about summoning them in my head, one by one.
Then a very familiar summoning-related message arrived.
Of course, I accepted the message, and a summoning magic circle that I had not seen in a long time was created above my head.
I thought the last time I saw that was when I summoned Elsha, but maybe this will be the last time I see it?
There, Ellie, who went to the same world as me, came down from the magic circle.
“Jinu, we arrived safely. I was worried that we might part ways there, but that didn’t happen.”
I continued summoning.
This time, it is time to bring back everyone who returned to the original world.
There is no need to call each person one by one, just call them at once.
Then, the size of the magic circle became much larger than anything I had seen so far, and people’s legs began to fall into it.
Of course, what comes down are my characters that I know very well.
Everyone came down from the magic circle and landed safely. Yuria found me first and ran towards me and hugged me.
“Jinuni~! I missed you!”
“Even though it’s not that far away?”
Yuria hugged me and nodded her head, agreeing to what I said. Yuria was so cute, so I gently stroked her head with my hand.
“Should I say it’s been a while, Jinu? I really missed you.”
Everyone, starting with Yuria, walked over and surrounded me.
“I missed you all too. I’m glad you were summoned without any problems.”
“Yes, I really like it. And… Hey! Ellie!”
Lenia, who was happy to see me, turned into a demon face and screamed at Ellie. Ellie had already distanced herself from everyone.
“Hmm… What’s wrong, sister?”
Looking at Ellie, who slyly responds that she doesn’t know what’s going on, I wonder if putting an iron plate on her face is an action like that.
In response to Ellie’s actions, Renia walked up to Ellie, pointed her finger at Eli, and shouted.
“Hey! Don’t act like you don’t know! I know that you went to Jinu’s world alone and stayed together!”
“Yes, isn’t that cruel? You’re not the only one who wants to be with your lord.”
Starting with Renia, Renia, Rien, and Freya, who were dissatisfied with the fact that Ellie had gone to my world, glared with scary faces. Just looking at it from the side seems to create an aura of great fear.
“Are you okay? Ellie went with me to the world I used to live in.”
Looking at it, she asked Yuria, Noah, and Rachel, who didn’t have much of an emotional change.
“Hmm… I also want to go there, but all I have to do is stay with Jinunim?”
“Not really? As long as I stay with my master like Yuria, it won’t be a problem.”
“I… I don’t know…”
Yuria and Noah seem to be taking it cool. Rachel doesn’t seem to have any big thoughts yet.
Compared to that, it feels like the four people over there are angry at each other and ready to fight at any moment. This is as expected.
I asked Ellie if she thought something like that would happen in the world I lived in, but she said it didn’t matter. She says that she has nothing to worry about because she achieved it by using her legitimate wish rights.
As I looked at everyone, one thought came to mind.
What?
Now that I think about it… I can’t see one person?
I obviously summoned everyone at once.
In that case, Elsha, who could not be summoned the last time, should also have been summoned here.
But… Elsha is nowhere to be seen. It’s not like I don’t know what Elsha looks like.
Anyway, she will be exactly the same as the one I raised in Elyon, and now I can tell who she is just by looking at her, but I can’t see her appearance at all.
This isn’t the floor of a crowded market, it’s just a large room, but Elsha is nowhere to be seen.
Did I fail to summon it? That being said, everyone doesn’t seem to care much about the fact that Elsha isn’t there.
“But… Where is Elsha? Is it possible that I couldn’t summon her? I can’t see her at all?”
I said, turning my head and looking around the room.
It really isn’t visible at all.
“Hmm? You mean Elsha? It’s over there.”
At my words, Noah pointed to a corner of the room. There was a chest of drawers a little bigger than a person.
It’s over there? There was obviously no one there. That’s how I see it.
As she turned her eyes in the direction Noah pointed and continued to look, a person’s head popped out from behind the dresser.
The person protruded slightly so that only one eye was visible, but when he made eye contact with me, he was startled and hid behind the dresser.
Uh… So, there’s someone hiding behind the dresser over there…
“Is he Elshine… By any chance?”
“You’ll see, right? Hey, Elsha! Stop hiding and come out here! The owner you wanted to see is here.”
However, Elsha, who was hiding behind the dresser, remained silent as if she had no intention of coming out.
“Haha, please understand the owner. He’s a bit… Shy.”
“That’s right, Elsha is very shy. She wanted to see Jinu, but when she met him in person, she was so embarrassed that she couldn’t seem to come out.”
So, you just came out of the summoning circle with everyone and quickly hid behind the dresser over there?
This is just as embarrassing.
