Academy’s Weapon Replicator chapter 248

Chapter 78 Mixed

Why did you save Elodie?

Before I could answer that question, there was something I needed to know first.

“Didn’t you love Elodie?”

Of course, it was a question that had no choice but to be asked.

Why does Rudra, who said he loves Elodie, want to leave Elodie traumatized?

Rudra nodded at my words.

[Of course I love you.]

Rudra said with a calm smile.

[I love Elodie’s great talent. I love magical power and technology that are so powerful that they can surpass the gods. I will do anything to make her stronger. As a result, even if Elodie really reaches divine status, I will be satisfied with that.]

“Is that an opinion all five of you agree on?”

[Well, that’s right.]

I closed my eyes for a moment after hearing that.

But in the end, I couldn’t hold back and started laughing.

“Kuh, keuhuh. hehehehe.”

[what? Why are you smiling?]

“I see. okay.”

It was always a question.

The people I’ve met so far who call themselves gods always had a conversation that was somehow out of focus.

At first, I thought it was just because of hostility towards me, but I realized something from Rudra’s words.

“You guys don’t know too much about humans.”

Until now, I thought of the god Etius as being very similar to humans.

His personality and values are almost similar to those of humans, but he is an individual with very strong powers.

But these are not humans. The difference was clearly visible.

“Whether Elodie gets stronger or not, that’s up to her.”

Whether it was a trauma, a nightmare, or whatever.

Elodie is not a girl who should take advantage of things like that.

[Even if Elodie’s power becomes insufficient as a result? If you want to save the continent, you have to actively use her power, right?]

“What do you think of me?”

Elodie’s power is absolutely necessary to save the continent. That is undoubtedly true.

But Elodie is not the only person I need.

I also need the power of Aster Evans, the main character of this game. We also need the power of Aten to save many lives.

I need Selena’s strength to protect me. You need the power of numerous named characters, and you also need active help from the imperial palace. I need the strength of my brother, father, and mother.

Even so, do I plan to use all of it?

Not like that.

I can’t do that.

“I am not the emperor. Much less a god. “You’ll know when you see it.”

One day, this continent will be swallowed up by an army of monsters so gigantic that they can’t handle it.

What I have done so far is preparation to overcome it.

But all of that is not because I want to treat the people around me like horses.

I am not someone who stands above anyone.

I am not a person who chooses whether others live or die.

“I am nothing.”

[…] … .]

After hearing my words, Rudra took a deep breath and raised his head. The head that seemed to be thinking about something eventually tilted.

[Hmm, I don’t know either. It’s just as you said. I don’t know much about humans. I think you can handle them well.]

“I have no intention of doing that. And I’m not happy to hear those words as a compliment.”

[So you’re saying there’s already another way to make up for Elodie’s lack of strength?]

When I heard that, I grinned.

“no. “Elodie will become stronger.”

[huh?]

“Rather than using trauma like that, Elodie will become stronger in the future.”

So you say it, Rudra.

You don’t know much about humans.

“I can assure you, Elodie will rewrite the history of the great wizard.”

* * *

I could barely open my eyes.

Elodie’s dream, and Rudra’s meeting.

It’s been a really long time since I returned to reality.

“… … good. “I think I’ve come back properly.”

I stood up after seeing the ceiling of the cabin.

and,

“… … What are you doing?”

I confirmed that Elodie was glaring at a certain direction with a very nervous face.

“Ph, fph fron! “Have you finally woken up?”

Elodie spoke to me with her eyes still fixed somewhere. The title is still ‘Fron’.

Did you wake up a little later than Elodie because you had to meet Rudra on the way? Still, there won’t be much difference.

The conversation with Rudra wasn’t that long, and isn’t it true that dreams tend to pass more slowly than reality?

“Why are you so upset?”

“Hey, that kid! “Do you know this kid?”

“huh?”

At Elodie’s words, I turned my head to follow her gaze.

There,

“… … uh?”

Is it the little girl or boy you are seeing for the first time? No, when I see her again… … A boy who seemed to be standing there was standing there.

It was a very androgynous face, so it was very difficult to judge one side or the other. For now, let’s just say he’s a boy.

The boy looked at me and said.

“You’re awake.”

It was the first time I had heard the voice, but the tone of voice, the pitch of voice, and the somewhat dry and insensitive atmosphere felt familiar.

And when I thought about it all, there was only one identity for that boy.

“… … may?”

“Yeah, I’m glad you both woke up.”

Except for her appearance, May spoke in the same way I knew her. I shook my head as if my long hair was a little annoying.

“Fron, do you know him?”

“Oh, yes. “If you know, you know.”

But this is my first time seeing May. His chestnut-colored hair hung long, and his dark blue eyes, like the deep sea, blinked.

Wasn’t May just imitating what she saw? I don’t know anyone who looks like this, so where do I see people like this and imitate them?

However, even though it is a character I have never seen before, its face is somehow familiar.

It was strange, and after looking at May for a while, something came to mind.

“… … “They look alike.”

May’s face now looks similar to mine.

And it resembles Elodie.

To be precise, it resembles Frontier and Elodie when they were young.

“Yeah, right! Pron? “It wasn’t my fault, right?”

Elodie exclaimed in confusion, as if she completely understood what my muttering meant.

Oh, I guess that’s why Elodie was so scared as soon as I woke up. Actually, you might be wary if a face you don’t know looks similar to yours.

“Oh, don’t worry Elodie. “I don’t know why he’s like this, but he’s not dangerous.”

… … No, is he actually a dangerous guy?

However, it is dangerous for Elodie to do something right now, so it is best not to provoke her as much as possible.

However, once you realize May’s face, it is truly amazing and exquisite.

“But it’s fascinating. “It looks like half of Elodie’s face and mine are mixed together.”

I’ve never thought that Frondier’s face and Elodie’s face were that similar, but when I look at May’s appearance, it’s not like I don’t feel quite close.

But Elodie’s face turned bright red after hearing what I said.

“Front, fron. I don’t know who that person is, but if you mix half of me and half of you, it will be… … .”

“huh?”

“… … never mind.”

Elodie closed her mouth, looking as if she had a lot to say. If you think about it, that is also amazing.

“… … “Is her name May?”

Elodie said with an expression as if she had given up on something.

“Oh, yes.”

“Did you do it yourself?”

“Well, that’s right.”

I couldn’t call it the Metamorph Disaster, so I took the first letter.

However, Elodie rolled her eyes eagerly, parted her lips with difficulty as if it was really difficult to speak, and asked.

“… … Do you mean ‘May’ by any chance?”

“… … ah.”

Now that I think about it, May had that same intention. I hadn’t even thought about it, but it suddenly made sense.

What should I do? It didn’t have any special meaning.

But my worries didn’t last long and I said,

“Yes, that’s what I meant.”

It’s more plausible than saying it’s called May because it’s a metamorph. Elodie had good intentions.

“… … why.”

However, Elodie, who guessed what he meant, lowered her head and trembled.

“Why is it called that… … .”

Elodie muttered in a dying voice,

I thought it was a really cliché expression, but his face was really red, as if it was ripe.

* * *

I explained May to Elodie.

At first, I thought about hiding some information like I usually did with other people, but I soon gave up.

I provided as detailed an explanation as possible. Where does May come from, what is her identity, and what abilities does she have?

Normally, I would have been worried about the risk of revealing everything, but I decided there was no need to do so to Elodie now.

Above all, May is someone whose identity I still do not fully know. The opinion of someone with excellent magical knowledge like Elodie was needed.

“… … I see.”

After hearing the explanation, Elodie nodded as if she understood.

At the same time, he looked at May as if he didn’t understand.

“But why are you like this? “Aren’t you just copying what you saw?”

“I know. “I’m curious about that too.”

Why is May like this?

May held up her finger and explained.

… … The movement of lifting the index finger resembles Elodie.

“That’s it. “You two went into the same dream, right?”

“… … Well, that’s right.”

“So, I sent Frondier into ‘infinite hibernation’ and observed that the two shared the same world. So I tried to copy the whole thing, and this is what happened.”

“… … Normally, you can only see one person at a time, but in that world, because we were together, we could see each other at the same time?”

“Rather than saying I saw them at the same time, from my perspective, the two were already mixed in one world.”

Elodie’s eyes narrowed at those words.

“Could you please stop saying it’s mixed? “This is a very misleading statement.”

“… … ? I see okay.”

May didn’t seem to understand what Elodie said, but she didn’t ask any further questions. It seemed like he decided to just pass it on.

… … The eyes that try to avoid that annoyance resemble Frondier.

“But for now, I’m relieved. “They resembled the two simply because they were copied together.”

Elodie breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems to me that he is too deeply reassured, but I guess everyone has different feelings.

“So now when you meet someone else, you’re saying you’ll imitate them? “Is this just for a moment?”

Elodie asked May.

May looked at Elodie quietly and said.

“no.”

“… … huh?”

“I won’t imitate my appearance anymore.”

Elodie’s mouth opened at those words. She seemed embarrassed and opened and closed her lips repeatedly.

… … It seems to me that he is panicking too much.

“why why why?”

“Then I become something that looks exactly like someone else.”

May raised both arms to appeal to herself.

“But I’m the only one who looks like this now.”

“… … .”

Ever since she was born, May has been preoccupied with finding her own identity.

Even if you resemble someone somewhat, you have your own unique appearance, and you can’t easily throw that away.

“And it’s annoying.”

“… … .”

Does this resemble my personality?

Wasn’t May’s original imitation even influenced by her personality?

“Oh, no, no. may. Would you like to think again? “Shouldn’t you learn more?”

… … Elodie is making strange noises.

May tilted her head and said.

“You can learn without changing your appearance.”

“No, no! “The more perfectly you can replicate your appearance, the more freedom you have to unleash your abilities, and only then will a true disaster occur—!”

“Hey, what are you talking about!”

What if it turns into a real disaster?

“Just leave it alone. You say you like the way you look. “It’s important to May that she doesn’t look the same as everyone else.”

“Ugh… … .”

Elodie became depressed at my persuasion and nodded.

It seems that Elodie is very uncomfortable with the idea of someone looking like her.

“But Elodie, it doesn’t seem like you’re as worried about May’s abilities as you thought.”

Elodie would clearly know the danger after hearing May’s explanation, but surprisingly, she does not point out that part.

Elodie spoke to me.

“The danger he has is that he can ruin the continent or the world by combining everything he has learned.”

“… … “Well, right?”

“I can do things like ruin the world if I put my mind to it.”

… … Oh, I see?

“Power itself is not important. “The user is what matters.”

Elodie said while looking at May.

“Until you do something wrong, until you make a mistake, you cannot be redeemed just because you have that power.”

I made a mistake too. Elodie muttered with a slightly bitter expression.

Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like Elodie will have any hostility towards May. There will be problems in the future, though.

“So it’s okay. If this child makes a mistake or mistake, I will stop him. “You too.”

After Elodie said that,

“… … Oh no! This doesn’t mean anything in particular! “I’m saying this because you and I are here now!”

He hurriedly shouted as if he had just realized something.

“hmm? huh. yes.”

Since you said exactly the right thing, there is nothing to refute.

“Hey.”

May, who was listening to our conversation, said.

“I want to go there.”

“Where?”

“There’s a place Frontier goes to every day.”

May said looking at me.

If it’s a place you always go to, of course.

“Constel?”

“huh.”

This time, Elodie became completely contemplative. My whole body was shaking, and my eyes were shaking.

Elodie cried out with a face that seemed to show even more fear than when she encountered her own trauma.

“Uh, absolutely not!!”
