Chapter 809 – Seeing on the Other Side of the Star Sea (8)
***
“… Ugh?!”
Lalilura, who had lost consciousness for a moment, hurriedly got up.
She tried to call the names of the party, but she was the one who held back the thought of just in case, but she couldn’t hold back even the slightest scream. The castle she returned to was full of bright red blood.
The Valkyrie did not appear to have disappeared. An arrow-pierced Kiara lay down, and a disorganized Tyrsi barely stood still, her arms shaking.
“Sister!”
“… I’m fine. Thanks to Sir Colido’s protection. Please treat him first.”
Tirsi answers with all her nerves, without looking away.
Lari Lura didn’t even have time to answer, so she poured the potion and looked for someone else, Crown Crown. The figure could be found nearby.
“Lalilura. Drink the recovery potion too.”
Clinging to her belly, she staggered over.
“You must have turned inside out. Oh, I’m done.”
“… What happened?”
“David stopped time.”
Understanding did not catch up.
Larry Lura opened her mouth and asked back.
“… What about the time?”
“It stopped. In fact, it’s part of dimensional magic, but it moves at an extremely high speed and slows down the opponent in the space it occupies. It’s not too bad to say it stopped.”
Without the energy to be surprised, Lalilura glanced around.
Just like the saying that time has stopped, the fragments that were flying did not fall in a floating state. If the cold air emitted by Tirsi hadn’t frozen the time-stopping magic, would the girls have become like that?
“I must have fired arrows while firing a series of short time stops to cancel it.”
Crown Crown said sitting next to Ralilura.
“At that level, you’re almost on the verge of becoming the old ruler. It’s no joke because you get a bowl.”
Looking at her poor complexion, Lalilura noticed that her clothes were strangely sunken between her breasts. It felt like her chest had been pierced.
The Crown Crown said as if it noticed Ralilura’s gaze.
“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. There must be a way to prevent that kind of cheating magic.”
“You have it?!”
Let alone magic familiar in everyday life, it was a miracle to the point of being afraid even if it was authority. When she said she could stop it, Lalilura bit her lip.
“… How can I do it? Is there anything I can do?”
Ralilura’s eyes, which had laid Kiara down, had an obsessive will.
Crown Crown, no. Loki laughed lightly.
“You want to pay back what you suffered?”
“I want to pay back twice as much as I did☆!”
She liked the prompt response and the smile.
That desire to compete, to repay with words and jokes without succumbing to ridicule. Persistent and honest efforts that do not give up even in the face of mistakes or lack of ability. A spirit that never loses a smile.
Isn’t that a virtue that a clown should have?
“Now I am going to ask you a few questions. Answer yes or no without lies.”
“Yeah!”
─Kooung!!
A black arrow flew. The dimensional gap was hidden or not visible. Realizing that the reinforced arrows could penetrate the dimensional wall, he went into a sniping state.
Not paying attention, Loki took out the black box.
And he asked
“Question 1. I have a bisexual temperament.”
“… … Swimming?”
─Quaang!!
Arrows ricocheted fragments of stone. Although trained, the body of a woman. The small stone fragment that hit her forehead hurt more than she thought, but Lalilura opened her mouth blankly.
A bisexual temperament? What is the meaning of that question?
Lalilura is not particularly interested in homosexuality. She just likes pretty and cute things, so she has a crush on beauties like her older sisters.
“Question 2. I like animals.”
“Hey, wait a minute. Isn’t it time to play around?!”
“The answer is yes or no.”
“I like! I like it! What question is this?!”
“Tell me what you can do! Answer me politely! I did the crown crown too!”
“My soul master did this too?! No, more than that, isn’t the lady Crown Crown?!”
“Who are you calling me a lady!!!! I she is a goddess?! The God of Yu Hee and the God of Mankind, Loki = Rodur-sama!!”
“Goddess?! Loki?!”
Loki jumped up and ran wild, but Lalilura was only more confused by those words.
“She is more conscious than that!”
“It’s a procedure to see how much she looks like me!! My aptitude for the new position depends on how similar the trajectories of my life are!! Question 3!! I have no mom and dad!!”
“Padlip!! This person pad-lipped me!!”
Kwaaaaang—!!!
Larilura shouted loudly, but the sound was drowned out by her rain of arrows, who seemed to have learned her knack. Tirthy laughed lightly at the conversation behind her.
If the quality of a clown is to make people laugh, there is nothing to say except that the girls who make people laugh even in this urgent situation are amazing.
“Lalilura. Just answer me.”
“But it’s a very private question!!”
“Ah, that’s where I’m concerned. It’s not a very important fact, but I didn’t have much mana left because I dragged all the ice I laid down a while ago.”
“Ugh… !”
Lalilura shrank. She certainly stopped whining about things that were so stupid.
But can’t you? If it was a serious question, of course you would have answered honestly, but how can you be sincere when you ask questions like “Are you bisexual?”
“Give up. Our clowns say that even when a dwarf holds a hammer and tries to break his head, his mouth must be soft. Next, question 4. I like someone I can depend on like my older sister.”
“… If you’re kidding, leave it for later.”
I would have answered correctly if I hadn’t asked in earnest.
【How are you doing such nonsense?】
Then David’s voice rang out. Flicking her shoulder, Lalilura looked at her, but she didn’t seem to make an appearance. He said.
【To think you’re trying to find a successor now. If you were going to do that, why not do it sooner? If you’re not a plaything of fate like you, maybe you wouldn’t have ruined things this far.]
“Ignore it. It’s because a coward is scared and does that.”
【Lady. If you’re like me, I’ll give up. A divine seat of a god who has repeated mistakes and failures throughout his life. Even if you want to live as a clown, don’t you want to spend your life in a humorous tragedy?]
This time, it was as if he was talking to Lalilura.
Larry Lura closed her mouth when she saw that her hand holding her box trembled slightly.
【That man, Loki is a cursed failure. Even if he receives the throne and survives, I will prophesy that the rest of his life will be ‘just surviving’ in unimaginable pain.]
David’s words continued like an echo.
[You are free to choose. But don’t you know enough? Life is sometimes more painful than death.]
“… Aha♡ So you want me to die gracefully?”
【If you swear silence and obedience with a rune, I can save you. I swear I won’t do you any harm I am also a nobleman who protects the Romanians.]
Lari Lura squinted her eyes and saw the Crown Crown, a woman she called the Loki God.
She wears her clown clothes just like she does, her guise like she’s spent her long hours trying until she’s in tatters.
I have respect for the time I worked hard enough to become like that, and for that unwavering will. However, it is difficult to nod easily when asked if he wants to be like that.
So, Larry Lura, put her doubts or doubts aside and decided to ask.
“Why did you fight until this happened?”
“Because her beloved sister died at the hands of them.”
“Ah, that can’t be helped.”
Because even if she was her, she would have been.
It felt like her eyes were clear. Larry Lura stopped laughing at her.
“I hate to admit it, but we’re pretty close♡!”
“Homophobic? Yes, if you want to make a living from performances, you have to have a bit of a competitive spirit.”
Loki grinned and poured out all the remaining questions at once.
【… ■■■■■!!】
David shouted in disgust and aimed at Lalilura.
If the throne of Yu Hee-sin left to Loki was properly inherited, the war situation would be overturned. Ur’s arrow flew through the dimensional wall.
After shooting the arrow like that, David felt the lineage of the old ruler right in front of him.
“Are you pretending to be human only when you are at a disadvantage? You don’t know romance.”
─Twoong!! Kiara returned the arrow.
The scales and the strength of the main body were applied to the less injured leg, and the arrow was kicked immediately after firing. Before the dimensional wall could be filled, the returning arrow broke three of David’s bows.
【… This bastard, sooner or later!!]
“It is a relic. Ah, it’s my fault lying over there. Because it’s a reptile.”
─Tsupat!! Kiara landed another attack, but David stopped time again.
Sensing the noise, Kiara flung her body and retreated.
“Miss Armashnas! I will blow it again!”
“If possible, would you call me Countess too!”
After hearing the story of Lari Lura and Loki, she drew in her remaining mana.
The formed field disappeared while blocking 100 rounds, and in creating an environment again, David was able to stop that ‘time’ by dragging time.
The process of aiming at the target is not necessary. He believed in the wand and memorized “Big Crunch.”
“Question 9. This is the last question.”
Loki winked as he placed the box Nord had left behind in Lalilura’s hand.
“It’s the cutest when a smart person acts like an idiot. Yes/no?”
“What question do you have? Of course it’s ‘yes’.”
It was when Ralilura was dumbfounded by the consistent level of questions. ─Click. The box opened and the golden key that was hidden inside rolled out.
“Awesome. 8 out of 9 questions. Two more crowns than crowns.”
Loki took the golden key and held it to Lalilura’s chest.
And with concern, I asked again one last time.
“You can quit if you think you will regret it.”
“I don’t. Never.”
They are the ones who killed Odin. There was no way that Nord, the successor, would be spared.
So there is no reason to survive by begging for her life.
“Thanks.”
Loki cried out with tears in his eyes.
“This throne is yours from now on! Use whatever you like!”
─Click.
Her door opened as if it had never been locked, and Loki’s throne left her.
She doesn’t die by handing it over. Half relieved, half sad, Loki closed his eyes.
The power that has been with you all your life is gone. It’s a lie if you say it’s not empty. However, it was a bit understandable that her older sister Odin was trying to make her an heir, and I was happy about that.
Just like that, she lost her consciousness, and her time stopped.
David gnashed his teeth while checking the situation.
The number of bows increased by tribal magic became four. The number of arrows that can be shot is also reduced by that much.
Running away is not a failure. Better than dying.
However, the opponent is a human girl who has just obtained the throne.
How much power can you handle there? Even if he could handle it, it had been several years since he had obtained the throne of Ur. There was no way that girl could excel in the use of authority.
Rather, it is more problematic to become stronger after trying to achieve a later date.
─Clap.
The thought was not long. As the time to stop was not long, he wanted to shoot even one more arrow, so he pulled an arrow twisted like a crossbow with his tentacles.
Not funny clowns. It’s time to get offended by trivial jokes.
He twisted his mouth, which wasn’t there, and let go of the string, and then, and again.
─Bad.
But at that moment, the arrow froze and stopped as soon as it was fired.
In a dimension where time has stopped, most of the effects of the laws of physics do not apply. The only exceptions are him, the magic he wields, and the power to wield dimensions.
【… R’ap-Vokuqa!!】
So it was. As soon as he recognized the freezing phenomenon, he turned around.
At that moment, the only thought in his mind was to run away. A lunatic clown who exterminated his own people. I never had the heart to fit in with that second prequel.
─Twoong!!
However, neither the dimensional rift nor the magic that transcends space worked.
As if caught in a spider’s web, as if he had become a puppet whose thread had been cut, he did not budge.
【… !! … ?! … !!】
Not just magic, but even his body.
Then, he belatedly discovered.
A girl who wrapped the mana thread plucked from her fingers all over the space instead of a broken puppet.
As if this space were her own stage, the figure of the power that controlled the wicked wisdom of tens of thousands of years more powerfully than that.
“It’s easier than you think. It’s no different from taking over the stage during a performance♡”
– Knock. She pulled her finger
The power that Lalilura exerted made the stopped time of Tirshi flow again.
“.”
The souls of the offspring of the stars, bound like worms, were torn into small pieces by the incontinent space.
