Chapter 62 – The Little Girl Who Walks Into the Future
“Rebecca-chan?”
After having a late dinner with Rebecca earlier having done a job together, the first thing that the party do after getting back to their lodging was to enjoy a hot bath to wash away their day fatigue. Having finished their bath earlier than the other members, Renya and Therese are enjoying a light hearted talk together when suddenly Therese calls out Rebecca’s name out of nowhere which made Renya surprised.
“…… I suddenly have a bad feeling about that. Hold on a bit, I will try to track Rebecca presence for a bit”
“Nope, in this kind of time, it is better to be paranoid like this. If nothing bad really happen then we can just laugh it off afterwards right?”
He had been with her quite a lot in this one week so he is quite familiar with her presence and moreover, she also wears the bracelet that Therese gave to her before which he can’t be more familiar with. Finding her is an easy task, is what Renya think at first but when he finally detects Rebecca presence and those that are close to her, his expression becomes very grim.
“E-EEH!? Why did Rebecca-chan had something scary like that closeby!?”
“Ye-yes! I understand desu!”
[Floria, its an emergency. I don’t know the details but anyway Rebecca is in danger. I will take Therese to rush in first. Just in case, you guys should also prepares yourselves and get on standby inside our room!]
[Leave it to us!]
It seems like that this world also had things related with the full moon. His nonchalant action made Renya remember something quite important which accelerates his bad premonition even further.
“So you’ve come. Therese, hold my hand! We’ll gonna fly there!”
Even if he doesn’t know where the destination is, if there is a person there that he is familiar enough with, he could instantly teleport to that person side. It was a kind of space teleportation that is limited only for tracking purposes.
“…… Th-the mud from that time……!”
Renya and Therese dash up to the center of the hall while still keeping their alertness to their surroundings. Renya doesn’t know where they currently are because he just follows Rebecca presence as his guide to instantaneously teleport but from the looks of it, he deduced that this place might be a ruined castle underground hall or something close to it.
In front of Renya and Therese, is the already familiar black mud giant that is shrined on top of a pedestal, a man wearing black robe that is looking at the black mud giant with deep feeling of reverence, and another man with filthy clothes who is prostrating himself. There are only those three.
“What’s an Ordough-sect member like you doing in this place?”
“…… Are you perhaps, Renya Eastle?”
“It is futile to feign ignorance now. That hair color, that appearance, you match perfectly to the information that we gather in Eribeiris”
No matter how much he tries to seal up those information about him, it is definitely a futile effort in the end and those information will eventually leak out.
“Who cares about that, it was you guys who do unpleasant things in front of me first aren’t you”
“Then, that means that my luck is just bad today, eh? …… No, this might be a good luck instead if I can put you to an end right here, right now. Don’t you agree?”
“Yes! That mud giant you said is the vanguard of god that got resurrected by using the deep-rooted delusion which comes from the guy, Radis, that died over there. By possessing the living flesh of the [GOD], he has the power that far surpasses a mere human. He is a new soldier for our glorious sect”
Against the man who fervently introduces his champion, Therese seems to run out of her patience and she shows her anger side of her which can be rarely seen. Mixed with her anger, she yells at the man but again, the man just smile like he is having fun of the situation.
“Eh……?”
The guy gives a long explanation about his soldier with a satisfied look.
“The despair from the sacrifice will be the nutrient needed to construct the flesh of [God] while the despair from the caster because their live is also taken from them will be the nutrient needed to give more power to our [God]. Especially the despair of those who thought that their wish would be fulfilled but only to realize that not only their wish won’t get fulfilled even their live will also be lost. The despair at such time is really exceptional. That guy dies with a really good expression on his face”
The man didn’t even mind when he hears Renya whisper that contains his blazing hot wrath. He is just looking at the completed mud giant with a sense of satisfaction.
“We want more power to help hasten the resurrection of our [God] but we can’t just expent our precious believer. And for that reason, we are busy finding [good material] human to use as ingredient”
The only thing that reaches her is only one thing.
Crushed under the heavy sadness, Therese falls down to her knees.
“Little miss, you don’t have to be sad like that. You will soon meet her again after all, in the other side that is. It is not yet a good time to let the world know about the power of our god…… and moreover, Renya Eastle, we don’t have any reason to let you get out of this place alive. So I would like to ask you two to please die”
“Well, I do agree about being able to meet her again. But the place we will meet her again is here. If we go to the other side then we might just miss each other don’t we?”
Especially the man surprised expression is remarkable. His face just like saying ‘what the heck is this man blabbering about’.
“Eh? Wh-what's happened Oniisan!?”
“Of course, it was a magic tool that I made……!”
With a bubbly sound, something appeared from the giant’s stomach. It was Rebecca’s face which is wrapped within a silver colored light.
“……Therese……?”
(Eros: well, he is beside you :3 )
“Why would I do that desuka!? There’s no way I would run and leave Rebecca-chan alone like this!”
“…… That is…… That is!”
“Rebecca-chan……!”
“
“……… Why…… did you go…… so far……… I am…… already…… don’t have anything left……”
Unable to understand.
Why did she move forward to challenge this kind of atrocious monster?
But the little girl in front of her, just because some trivial thing that happened this past few days, is screaming her lungs out that Rebecca herself is still worthy enough to save even if that means challenging such a monstrosity. Just like how she find the worth in her ---- that little girl had also help her find how valuable those days filled with warmth are.
“Is there a weird power that is protecting the girl……? But it will be only a matter of time before she falls under the control of our [God]. Moreover, they should be trying to not hurt the girl while trying to do something to the giant”
Indeed even from other people perspective, trying to destroy the giant while trying to not hurt Rebecca is an impossible feat to do. Even Therese is troubled by it.
“Therese, listen closely. I can’t meddle directly with that mud giant”
“Currently, The thing that protected Rebecca is the bracelet that you made Therese. And because you are unconsciously channeling my divine power into that bracelet it barely managed to protect Rebecca from getting corroded by the evil divine power”
“It was your strong feelings that both help support and protect her. But because of that ---- I don’t have the enough power to beat the giant while keep protecting Rebecca from harm”
If Renya attacks the giant with the intent of eliminating it, Rebecca would definitely get caught in the wave of destruction and will join the giant in the road to oblivion.
“…… But”
When Renya said that, Therese suddenly remembers the time when something similar happened.
That memory of seeing her friend gets tortured with pain that is strong enough to make her scream painfully like that.
“Am I…… able to do is deshouka?”
(Eros: damn cool *mantears)
Her hand is trembling.
Since that day, just how much has herself grows? And now, does her growth could help her in saving her friend from that giant just by herself?
“Eh……?”
“Renya oniisan……”
Pray, and that will be your power.
An appeal is ---- the source of power to move a god.
Because the person beside her is.
“I wish……! I wish…… that this time I could save my friend for sure! I want to protect my precious friend desu!”
“I heard thy prayer”
To answer the girl prayer, he bestows her with power.
Then, let us announce her.
“Wield that power to your heart's content o princess [Miko] of the War God. Now ---- the present you is stronger than everyone else!”
Gentle yet strong, she releases a warm light just like what her impression against the god in her mind.
And then, the two of them synchronically recites the ritual prayer like chant that she once heard before, letting the sound resounds inside the room.
And then the cheerful girl that stands for the sake of her friend, had manifest into the world as the princess [Miko].
In her left hand is the always-hit magic gun that was created personally by the god’s own hand.
The victory for the girl means that the success in saving her friend.
“Rebecca-chan, I won’t run away desu. I have once made my friend sad. Because I was weak at that time desu”
It was still fresh in her memory that even the [God] spoken by that the man who is looking at me while sneering was treated like a trash by the man beside her.
And that person power is right in her hand now.
That person blessing ---- just give her so much power beyond her imagination!
With that earnest wish, she moved a god heart.
The giant stomach grotesquely moved, and it tries to swallow the girl again into its insides. The bracelets still protects her from harm but it was only a matter of time. But then, at the last moment before she got completely swallowed again, Rebecca says something to the Therese, the girl who stands up to fight.
She tried to reach out to Therese with her word as her hands are tangled.
And Therese takes out those words directly.
The girl is now facing the vanguard of the sham [God] with guns in both hands.
For her unyielding wish and vow, her little body is now dancing to the battlefield!
Will help you in pinch in the name of friendship. And then (spiritually) a cool rescue character.
With this three charm point, the heroin will definitely not lose (conviction)
