Dropped Into Another World V2C68

Chapter 68 – Eh, No?....Too Scary!

『Your lordship, is there anything wrong?』

As I sit up, my strength slips away and a voice of concern calls out to me.

Haa, I feel bad for worrying you but give me a minute.

I was really feeling like I was going to lose my mind today.

It was certainly nice being able to talk with others.

However, how much fear have I felt seeing that I’m the only one whose memory’s different?

I feel that my memory is correct but I also feel the fear of it might not be.

These alternately assaulted me.

If it weren’t for the brave and reckless personality that emerged within me ever since I came to this world, I might have lost my mind.

Well, I think I already lost my mind thinking that I have two personalities.

『Your lordship….have I done something superfluous by any chance?』

「No, today, I felt the convenience of being able to converse with others.」

That’s true.

Especially when something like this happens. Communication is important.

「Rope, thank you.」

『I’m very happy. I’ve wanted to give something back to your lordship.』

「But Rope. Do you really need to alter my memory? That made me a little confused.」

Not really a little…..

『…..alter memory? What are you talking about?』

Eh?

Rope’s not the one who restored my memory?

「Etho, mine. No, not really mine…..how do I ask….」

What’s the right question?

「My companions and my memories are different. My companions think they have been having conversations with me ever since they met me but the truth is, it only started today. Why are our memories different?」

『I never casted that kind of complicated magic. I only invoked transmutation spell for his lordship to be able to speak with those whom you felt you need to converse with.』

That’s a very rough condition.

How did you even succeed in casting it?

And I’m the standard?

Somehow, I think that’s where things went horribly wrong.

「As far as I can tell, it’s odd that the magic would alter memories. Rope, is that all the magic you casted?」

『Yes, it is. However, I added a condition that you wouldn’t get confused once the magic is activated.』

So, I shouldn’t be confused?

Is that connected to the altered memories?

If their memories have been altered, they wouldn’t be surprised that they’ve suddenly been able to speak with me.

I was surprised for a moment but happy that we finally were able to talk and that should have been the end of it.

That’s not something to be confused about.

However, that idea doesn’t explain how my memories were restored.

Are you saying that Rope wasn’t the only one that did it?

Ah, the power Rope used was originally mine.

I guess it could be possible that the power is what restored my memories.

It is probably not that effective against those who possess the same power.

Maybe that is its limitation….no, that’s only my theory.

It is still unclear what things are certain.

I seem to have figured it all out but I really don’t know anything.

In any case, it’s true that today’s phenomenon was caused by Rope.

The rest is still unknown.

『Your lordship, what should we do next?』

You still plan to do something?

「What should we do next? Rather than that, what do you mean by leading this world?」

Yeah, Rope said he had succeeded in leading this world.

Leading?

That means Rope is now the leader of this world, is that it?

「So, you’re the leader of this world now? What is this world?」

『The “this world” I’m referring to is this entire planet.』

I see. So you’re telling me that you have taken control of this planet.

Areh?

Isn’t that something big?

「Rope, since you said you are leading this planet, does that mean that you are the god of this planet?」

『Hmm, I don’t think I’m similar to a god.』

You’re not?

However, I think the only one who could control a planet is a god.

『Your lordship asked me to protect this world so I thought it would be easier if I can lead this world to move in the direction you want.』

To move it as you like?

「Isn’t that already the god’s domain?」

『That may be true but….I really don’t know.』

You don’t know.

Come to think of it, there’s no god that watches this world yet.

Somehow, things are getting more and more complicated.

『Your lordship, what should I do?』

I can’t just say “something to do” or things will go badly.

Since Rope has taken control of the world, that means it can do whatever it wants.

Scary. I have to think about it thoroughly before talking.

「For now, let’s just watch and wait for things to be unfolded.」

『Watch and wait? 』

I think that’s the safest choice.

「Yes. Don’t let anyone mess with this world. Watch over this world so that if something happens, you can take care of it.」

『Well, that is true. This planet is still unstable. I understand. I’ll keep an eye on it.』

Hnn?

What do you mean by “still unstable”?

I should ask, right?

No, I shouldn’t add more to my problems….but it could become my problem later on.

I have no choice but to ask.

『You’re lordship, I need to prepare to watch over this world so I have to take my leave.』

Eh?

「Ah, wait!」

……………………you left?

I mean, where are you in the first place?

I also forgot to ask.

「Haa, what a day.」

I rested my back on the bed.

It’s nice that I’m able to converse with others now.

Yeah, this is a very joyful event.

Let’s put other things aside for now.

Next time I hear from Rope, I’ll ask about its whereabouts.

This is a must.

Come to think of it, Rope was a stone with a shimenawa around it.

Does it mean that it can’t move on its own?

……should I ask where it is and move it here?

「I don’t know where the stone….that took control of this world is but I can’t just leave it where it is, can I?」

I never thought I could do that with my power.

Ah, I want a god to come here whether it is an enemy or not.

And I want to have that god watch over this planet.

It’s too scary to be told that the planet I’m currently on is being controlled by a stone.

And it could do whatever it wants even without asking my permission.

I’m glad that it made me able to converse with others but….

「Wait a minute!」

I get up from the bed in an instant.

What else was I thinking?

Surely the most important thing would have been to communicate, to be able to converse with others.

However, I should have many other thoughts in my mind.

Ehto….I can’t remember.

「I was thinking “I want eggs.”.」

As I recall, I’ve been thinking about wanting eggs a lot lately.

……maybe Rope is thinking of fulfilling it, right?

I mean, it would be great since it would be convenient for me, right?

Ah, no, no.

Don’t think of that.

I fall back onto the bed once more.

I’m usually not consciously thinking but now I’m consciously thinking, I don’t remember what I want.

And it looks like it’s impossible to remember.

If I hear Rope call, I’ll tell it to ask me first before taking any action.

Ehto, check its whereabouts and tell it to ask me before doing something.

I’m tired.

I think I’ll sleep and get some rest.

I’ll tell my companions about Rope later.

I’ll also need to explain today’s phenomenon.

But first, I need a little rest.

I’m really tired.

「Fuwaaaaaa………..」

I’ll explain it to them as soon as I wake up.
