Chapter 336 – Volume 68 – Fear of the Unknown (1)
For a moment, it felt like my mind turned completely white.
Of course, our Rika is a very attractive and good woman.
Anyway, I didn’t think of her younger brother in that way.
I know that Rika is greedy and that she likes me.
Still, I had no idea that she would develop in that direction.
No, I don’t know how I came up with that idea.
‘No way…’
When I think about it, I ended up staying away from Rika.
I am still staying close to Rosaria.
In that regard, are you trying to create a reason to stick around?
“Rika.”
But I don’t think it’s a good idea to proceed for that reason.
In the first place, I am confident that if Rika wants, she will live in the same house for the rest of her life.
Even if you don’t do that, I won’t run away.
Of course, it was my fault for making him anxious.
Still, it was necessary to correct what Rika was thinking.
“I’m not running away from Rika. So you don’t have to worry about that…”
“I know, my brother is that kind of person.”
“Huh…?”
You know?
But if you know, I don’t know why you would go that far.
Is there something wrong with my thinking?
“I think it was my brother who was interpreting it strangely in the first place.”
“Huh…?”
“Because I just conveyed my thoughts.”
Well, so it’s not like I’m afraid of it like I think.
Did he confess that he wanted it purely because he liked me?
… Rika, her brother didn’t raise her like that.
“Calm down. We are brother and sister.”
“I’m not related to you by blood anyway.”
“Still, I lived thinking of you as my younger brother…”
“So?”
Rika smiled and pulled me back.
I was dragged by her tentacles and had no choice but to look directly at Rika, who was smiling seductively while holding her chin.
No, was Rika the kind of girl who could make an expression like that?
“Are you saying it’s a problem if we start a relationship that we can’t continue?”
“… Huh?”
“You are not destined to be a hero, but if you really want to, you will become a hero.”
“…”
“It would be possible to start out as your brother’s younger sister and then become his wife.”
There was a part of me that was worried that that feeling might start from an illusion.
There are parts of me that are like a parent to that guy.
So I’m just obsessed with it, and wouldn’t it be a little different from love between a man and a woman?
“Well, how much should I tell you so that you will believe my feelings?”
“Uh, huh?”
“… Do I even have to tell you that my first masturbation partner was my brother? Or that I couldn’t use my body as a pussy unless it was my brother’s cartoons?”
“Uh, so. Uh…”
Rika’s words hit me so hard that I was dizzy.
I slowly started to get a headache.
… Assuming that Rika’s feelings were sincere, it means that I didn’t even know her.
“I’m sorry, I had no idea.”
“Of course. It’s something I’ve kept to myself until now.”
“…”
“So, let’s pretend that neither of us said anything to each other. Let’s pretend that we told everything here.”
“Rika…”
Rika definitely felt like she had become an adult.
As I became a warrior, my state of mind changed in many ways.
It can probably be said to be the result of thinking for a long time.
“You’re amazing, Rika.”
“I’ve become something amazing.”
Rika slowly released her tentacles and lowered me.
She provoked, saying that it would not be easy for her to resist her own temptations in the future.
Ha, I can’t stand it when you say things like that.
“Hmm, but this is a problem.”
“Huh?”
“It’s because my brother has high standards. It won’t be easy to seduce him.”
“…”
It’s been a while since I wanted to play around like this.
It was something I couldn’t say after my relationship with Rika was ruined.
Now, to some extent, I have found the relationship I had back then.
“Ha, what do you think I saw and learned?”
“Uh, huh?”
“I learned about the world through my brother’s works.”
“Uh, huh?”
“It’s a product full of my brother’s taste.”
Well, it wasn’t wrong, so it was difficult to refute.
I’m definitely the type of person who reveals all my weaknesses through cartoons.
If Rika is truly a fan of my manga, then I am at a huge disadvantage.
“I will corrupt you so much that your next work will feature her younger sister.”
“Uh, um…”
Of course, no matter how Rika approaches me that way.
I think you will be filled with cute feelings just by looking at Rika.
I was honestly scared because I was that motivated.
Right now, Rika has become a hero through her own will.
Conquering my heart might be something simpler.
… Honestly, even I have more trust in Rika than myself.
“Let’s go back first. I’ll go back and explain what happened.”
“Explanation?”
“From your birth, the source of the nightmares you have every night.”
“… I figured it out.”
“It wasn’t in good shape.”
Rika easily subdued the monsters after that.
We were able to return to the original world without much difficulty.
“Rika!”
“Sister…”
Rosaria runs over and hugs Rika tightly.
It looks like he was probably worried about many things.
… It was the same for me, so I had no choice but to understand that feeling.
“Good job, father?”
“You’re awake.”
“Okay.”
I took Rika and stood in front of her father.
My father was surprised and happy that I returned safely.
As if he suddenly realized something, he turned his head.
“What your father said wasn’t entirely wrong. We almost died. Of course, the demons were strong.”
“… Okay.”
“But, father was wrong. Rika said she couldn’t become a hero.”
“What…?”
“Rika was able to become a hero. In a world where she had given up on the concept of a hero, she reclaimed it through her own will.”
Honestly, even now that I think about it, it was the most fascinating part.
In this world, the concept of a hero is actually a product of the forgotten past.
He made it happen by twisting his own wish and the abilities he had.
Of course, Rika has powers inherited from the original demons.
It is true that he had the qualities to become a warrior because of that.
Completely different from the direction in which he was completed through research, he was completed as a hero through Rika’s will.
Originally, the power of the moon could not become as strong as the sun.
It is true that the moon is the only one that can handle the power of the sun.
Because you can’t cut light like that and pack firepower as powerful as light into a sword.
“A hero…”
“Well, it’s not what I expected.”
Of course, the starting point of all this is.
It is a game that we are currently running and unraveling the story.
A story told through a mini-event just before Rika goes missing, and before a new area opens.
That was the story I told Rika about a hero who was not chosen as a hero.
The story behind the final equipment in the last area.
The story of the birth of the pitch black holy sword.
‘But…’
Can that alone explain what happened?
Of course, the things that have had an impact on reality so far are also amazing.
This is the first time that the limit has been surpassed to this extent.
Even what is revealed in the story is a story from a time when there were still heroes.
The concept of a hero has already disappeared from the game.
It was clearly announced that such an incident could not be repeated.
So it is completely different from the situation so far.
My work could have helped just a little.
Isn’t this proving that the will of just one person can be powerful, not the will of many people?
“Oh, I’m sorry. I should have told you your story.”
“It’s okay. I also had a lot of questions about the power I just gained.”
“…”
The real me, together with my father, began to explain Rika’s identity.
Why was it created and why did it have such a nightmare?
And what was the source of the warrior’s power.
“But even if that’s the root of it, it doesn’t mean you were chosen to be a hero.”
Because no one expected him to become a warrior.
I didn’t put it in to handle that power in that way.
Even previous experiments showed that it was impossible to handle it that way.
“Since you wanted to become a hero, you just used the power that was best suited to become the foundation.”
“So these tentacles…”
Of course, I am not sure.
I’m just saying this because I don’t want to diminish the value of Rika’s work.
“So, what you’re saying is that Rika is unique.”
“Yes. Normally, a miracle would occur only if many people believe in it. He did it alone.”
“Okay…”
My father closed his eyes for a moment and thought.
He burst out laughing and laughed like that for a while.
“… Really, it’s absurd. This world can barely run with those rules.”
“Father…?”
“Carly. Are you missing something?”
“Yes?”
“What people believe in and take for granted will come true…”
Then why do monsters called demons continue to appear?
A product of the past that everyone thinks does not exist now.
Why does it still appear?
“… No way.”
“Yes, all humans have a fear of the unknown.”
The fear of the unknown that he can never overcome.
Many people have a little fear of something unimaginable.
“That is what is taking shape and the enemy attacking you is the demon…?”
Because humans are creatures of fear that cannot be defeated.
He can never win against humans, but he can defeat demons like him.
Once successfully repelled, humans become the victors and other unknown beings are summoned.
“It matches the history of all the ‘demons’ I know. If you think about it, the forms shown by the demons also resemble the bizarre rumors that were popular at the time.”
“…”
“I had no idea that the cause of the occurrence of demons would be revealed in this way.”
However, my father and I could not be purely happy about this fact.
If this is true, fundamentally eliminating the invasion of beings called demons…
“Huh…”
Because they said it was absolutely impossible.
