Chapter 168 – Memory (1)
*
Lina’s slightly wary eyes. She said it didn’t look like acting or lying.
Kerry pondered.
‘This is Lina’s inner world. The saintess must have said that.’
Rina’s clothes are also different from those outside.
Her face and mood are also a bit different.
The current Lina looked fresh. She is still as if she has suffered less in the world.
‘Lina doesn’t remember me. No, she’s mistaken for someone else? Who is the ruler of mana?’
Kerry asked Lina.
“Lina-sama. What year is it now on the imperial calendar?”
She said, “I would have told you to be friendly and not call me by name. You and I…”
Kerry ignored Lina’s words and continued.
“What year is it on the imperial calendar?”
“Imperial calendar… 1664 year.”
‘The date Lina knows is different?’
Kerry had a hunch that she guessed right.
Lina doesn’t know me and she only has memories of when I wasn’t around.
‘This is probably in the memories before returning with a high probability.’
But there were still unanswered questions.
Kerry was puzzled. If this is the memory from before the return, why did Lina call herself the ruler of mana?
“Lina-sama. I’m Kerry. Can’t you recognize me?”
“… What are you kidding about? I already know that Kerry is your real name of her.”
“?”
“Stop playing around. Ruler of Mana. I… I didn’t come here to be ridiculed by you.”
“A mockery. It’s not like that… Ha ha.”
“If it’s not a mockery, quickly give it to me and disappear.”
Thing? Have you decided to meet and give something?
Kerry rummaged through her pockets. But all she had in her pocket was a bag with gold coins in it.
“…You didn’t bring anything.”
“…”
“It was just a joke again. Why do people like you play with people like this every time!
I… I’m serious!”
Lina gets angry. She said that when Lina gets angry with others, she really can’t stand it.
‘But was this something to be as angry as?’
I don’t know. I don’t know how important it is.
‘Because I heard the story. It feels like I caught a lot of Lina as usual.
The ruler of mana has a grandiose name, but isn’t it pure trash?’
Lina even preaches in front of her as if she is really angry.
I don’t know why, but that look was quite emotional for Lina.
“Whoa… That’s enough. I know now that there’s no point in telling you this.
I’ll go back then next time! Don’t bother people with useless pranks. Ruler of Mana.”
Lina fired her words alone, and then she said she would go back. She shouldn’t be allowed to go back like this.
“Wait. Lina… No. Hero.”
“What is it?”
I have to catch Lina, but she just came to this world and there was no good excuse.
Now it’s the judge’s board.
“Let’s have a meal together.”
“?”
Let’s eat rice right away. It’s really out of the blue, but there was no other way.
“I haven’t eaten anything since that morning. Can’t we have a meal together since we met?”
Lina looked at Kerry like a strange person.
“You’re really strange today. Don’t you pretend to be friendly and call me by name…? Don’t you suddenly ask me to eat?
Ah. I get it. Have you ever been hit in the head by any chance today?
Usually, it seems like I’m insane, but today it’s especially bad.”
Did you get hit in the head?
‘Did Lina just throw a joke at me? She’s not funny at all, but…’
Usually Kerry and Lina trust each other, but it was a bit of a tight relationship. We never exchanged jokes.
‘Is Lina the ruler of mana? She likes guys who do something. I’m a little jealous of this.’
Maybe she only liked it in her previous life.
In this life, you will like yourself more. Kerry soothed herself.
“Let’s have a meal together. Oh, my stomach just sticks to my waist.”
Kerry knew. Lina knows that she’s so nice that she’s not good at saying no.
I don’t know if it’s someone I don’t know, but it’s even more so if I have a crush on someone.
“…Ha.”
Kerry just recklessly took Lina’s hand her and led her. She meant to go out to eat together.
She was jealous because Lina liked that she was the ruler of mana or something, but she thought it was all right now.
Thanks to that, she will be a little more comfortable being attached to Lina.
In fact, even as Lina was being pulled by her arm of her, she could n’t resist.
“Eat some rice together. It’s because I’m embarrassed to eat alone.”
Lina, who was worried, hesitantly said.
“You’re really just going to eat and break up, right?”
Look at this. Even with a disliked expression, you can’t stubbornly refuse.
Looking at this guy’s money bag, he also had a lot of gold coins. This is such an ugly baby
In the world after the regression, I wonder what he is doing with his life.
Kerry was guided by Lina to a restaurant in a nearby village.
Both Lina and Kerry are celebrities, so they put their hoods over their faces and got their own rooms.
“I’m eating something, but even her face is covered.”
“…You seem to be doing a lot of strange jokes today.
You probably don’t know that if it ever became known that you and I ate, we’d both be in trouble.”
Since Lina is a hero, she must be so, but she seems to be quite famous for being the ruler of mana.
‘At this time, I need to pee again.’
Isn’t this a very real world? It’s just Lina’s memory.
Kerry went to her bathroom.
It’s a savage other world, but the restaurant Kerry entered is a high-class restaurant.
Her pockets were full of gold coins, so she spent them very generously.
Thanks to that, the bathroom was also clean. There was even a mirror.
Kerry looked in the mirror.
I wondered who the mana ruler who stole Lina’s heart was.
“…”
But something was strange. I looked in the mirror, but my face was not white.
“Something caught in the mirror.”
No matter how much I clean the mirror, I can’t see my face straight.
Kerry peered over her face her.
Then her eyes stung and hurt her, and then she began to see her face better.
The first time she saw her face in the mirror, she only knew she was from this world.
Bushy beard. A long scar across the eye. Above all, the savage atmosphere.
The atmosphere was quite serious and seemed charismatic. Clearly, the barbaric feeling of the other world was vivid.
But she looked into her face a little more and realized. No, she couldn’t help but realize.
“Shiba… Is this me?”
The atmosphere is quite different, and it feels like he went through a lot of hardships, but this was definitely Kerry.
What the hell did you go through to make people change like this?
“That’s why Lina did n’t respond when she heard my name from her.”
The name ruler of mana is also Kerry’s name her. How did she come up with such a grandiose name?
Even if she grunted alone, it was not something she could understand.
Kerry went out of the bathroom.
Lina looks She said Lina she would know everything.
‘It would be the quickest way to ask Rina directly.’
Kerry casually sat down in front of Lina.
Lina was pretending that she was not particularly impressed, but her constant attention her seemed to show her excitement her.
Come to think of it, it’s the first time I’ve had a meal with Lina alone.
Because I always stayed with her company her.
Well-made food is lined up.
“…”
Lina ate the food without a word.
If Kerry didn’t talk to her first, she seemed to be willing to practice her silence her.
‘The opportunity to experience the world before her return is rare.’
She urgently wanted Lina’s treat her, but she also wanted to satisfy her curiosity of her. There is no way right now.
“Warrior.”
“… What is it?”
“Don’t be picky and eat broccoli too.”
Broccoli was Lina’s least favorite food of hers.
“It’s useless, useless meddling. You just said an honorific that didn’t suit you, and this time you’re talking rude again?”
That’s because half-talk was like the original way of speaking.
Lina felt more restless when she used short words that gave off an arrogant feeling. It works.
‘It would be better to speak half-heartedly. Let’s get some information from Lina.’
“When you think… What kind of person am I?”
Lina looked at me with an expression as if she was saying something.
Then she said with a very serious expression.
“He has a bad mind that often makes fun of people, and he is stubborn, trusting only in his strength and acting as he pleases.”
“…”
Ruler of Mana… No, what did I do in my previous life! How could that kind Lina give such a bad review?
It’s a little shocking.
It was when Kerry was dumbfounded.
“Put.”
Lina, who had a serious expression, burst into laughter.
It was only then that I could tell from Lina’s playfulness and her youthful expression that it was a joke.
I knew Lina would make a face like that. It’s really pretty.
“What kind of hurt expression are you making that doesn’t suit you? It was a joke.”
“…Okay. Ask again What kind of person am I?”
“What specifically do you want to hear?”
“My background… So. I want to know how people view me.”
Lina nodded her head. I don’t know what she is, but I feel like she understands my concerns.
“You… You are the one to be feared. You have that much power and status.
Moreover, she is also the lover of the Black Witch. So. People can’t help but be afraid of you.
If I have one piece of advice… Ignore people’s stars.”
Lina seems to misunderstand that I’m asking a question because of people’s eyes.
In the meantime, I can feel Rina’s heart her to comfort her.
‘But I’m the black witch’s lover?’
Kerry had heard the story from the pictures of the ruins.
The Black Witch is the cause of the Great War.
That organization also aims to revive the Black Witch.
Lina, did she know this from the beginning? Then why did you let me into the party?
Her head her gets more and more complicated.
It feels like things are complicatedly intertwined with many things. Or is it that there are still many unknowns?
‘Shall I find out a little more?’
Just then Kerry was about to open her mouth.
A voice was so loud that it shook her bones.
[Kiki kick. Annoying man. Did you follow me all the way here? It was as Barikmeteo said.
You are a really annoying man.]
Gnome. It was the voice of an idolater.
I looked at Lina at her voice her so loud that it made her bones her ring, but Lina was just eating as if she didn’t know anything.
The same goes for everyone else around you.
[This is a voice that only you can hear. Isn’t that obvious?]
Annoying bastard. What kind of trouble is this because of that bastard?
[I came to know a lot after entering the inner side of the hero. Even the warrior’s secret. Kick kick. I was really surprised at first.
Now I understand how they penetrate our plans and important bases.]
The idolater seems to have noticed that Lina is a regressor. It didn’t matter.
Anyway, if I drive him out this time, it’s over.
[It’s clear what you’re thinking. You think you don’t care what I know? ‘Cause I’m dead anywayhehe.]
“…”
[But I don’t think dying like this would be bad.
The existence of me is obviously dead… But the hero ends here too.]
Lina is dying? Whoever she wants
“If you’re going to bullshit, just get out of here.”
Lina looked at me with surprised eyes as I raised my voice in anger.
Kerry soothed Lina and resumed her meal. Then, without fail, a voice is heard.
[Do you want to save a hero? Give up you wouldn’t know You, who have only seen the bright light of the warrior, do not understand.
The brighter the light, the bigger and darker the shadows are made.]
What you don’t know is you
I’ve never thought of Lina as always a bright woman.
I have seen Lina vividly by her side all the time being weighed down by something in her.
[I didn’t even have to do anything. Kick kick. The warrior won’t leave here.
You say you don’t like to go out on your own. Because this is the utopia that the hero desires.]
No. Lina is not such a weak woman. That guy knows nothing about her Lina her.
‘If you’re going to talk bullshit, I’d like you to turn it off.’
It was when Kerry frowned at the idolater’s bullshit.
The idolater spoke in a confident voice.
[You shouldn’t have come in here. Now that you’re here, the warrior will love it here much more than the outside. Kiki kick.]
“…”
Lina hates to go back to reality. In fact, she wasn’t without a clue.
Lina was always under the pressure of saving the world.
Because of that, she was always obsessively busy.
Even when she took a short break, she put on a guilty look.
Lina pushed herself to become the perfect warrior.
The road to becoming a warrior was too difficult for humans to walk.
However, that pressure was not a reason for Lina to give up.
Lina she will never give up.
Kerry remembered what Lina said to her before she collapsed.
[I believe. Kerry.]
Kerry looked at Lina in front of her.
Lina looked at Kerry, then awkwardly looked away from her when they met her eyes in her.
“My, did I do something wrong? You speak very little today.”
Kerry just listened to the idolater, and her words were reduced.
“I’m angry that the hero doesn’t eat broccoli.”
“…Wouldn’t it be okay to eat it?”
Lina stuffed her least favorite broccoli into her mouth her. In the meantime, she was sneaking a glance at Kerry to see if her anger had subsided.
