Bion averted his eyes from the screen window.
Naturally, we turned our attention to her.
“… … That is how all of you were born on this earth. Well, Serene-san fell under Idria’s beast and thought they were saying goodbye forever.”
“yes? Come to think of it, Florence must have lived as a human for 12 years and became the demon king’s limb. In other words, I was born 12 years early, isn’t the time zone a bit out of sync?”
“With that said, Mr. Ardwin is much younger than you. I was the only one left in the lab, so I couldn’t control all of your souls at the same time. We proceeded in the order in which we reduced the body first, so each of us was of a different age.”
Ardwin is the sharpest person in the soul, so he stayed to the end and helped Bion.
So I was born last.
Serena laughed playfully.
“Ah. So I am the oldest.”
“If you calculate your age based on the date you were born in the world of Maid, you are definitely older. But it’s not ‘best’. There is Mr. Neril, where is Mr. Serene?”
“It is.”
“Right.”
Neryl furrowed his eyebrows.
“Are you guys doing this on purpose?”
“yes.”
“Don’t admit it. There are also Lissels who were born 1,500 years before me.”
Russell grinned.
“Age is just a number. Mr. Neryl.”
“Shut up.”
Anyway, this is how we got to know all the secrets.
I asked, arranging my thoughts.
“By the way, have our names been the same since 230,000 years ago? If it were me, the name Maid would have been given to me by my parents.”
“The last name can change, but the first name is fixed. Impellium and Serad asked me to do that before they went down to the world.”
“why?”
“I want to keep calling each other by that name or something. Well, since I’m breaking up with a long-term relationship, I worked hard to calculate the retirement gift and modified the system. Still, there has been a shortage of manpower since then, but considering the hardships… … Whoa.”
oh I have an idea that comes to mind because of the manpower shortage.
“The other day, Impellium showed me you were talking to Lephia-sama. I think there was a lot of talk about Grade-sama at that time, but he seemed to have a lot of bad feelings.”
“Because he said he would take not only himself but also Mr. Rissel while he was so busy.”
“That’s why I hated it so much.”
“I’ve been stubborn since I started working at the research lab. He and I have always had a bad relationship. What should I say in front of Mr. Rissel?”
Russell says hesitatingly.
“Once again, I am very sorry. Two of us went down during a crazy busy time.”
“no. In fact, it was something everyone agreed on, and I also agreed in the end because I thought it would not be of much help if Mr. Rissel remained.”
“yes? I was also a researcher, right?”
“Didn’t I ever say that Mr. Rissel was a researcher?”
The two face each other and tilt their heads.
Bion continued.
“Mr. Rissel must have been the one who was chosen for the management position of the institute from the beginning. I joined the company together with Mr. Grade. Maybe you were in charge of finance. My memory is fuzzy.”
“… … .”
“After returning 230,000 years, there is no need to work in finance, so you must have been in charge of cooking. This is also with Mr. Grade.”
Lissel’s face turned bright red.
Xenia said with a serious expression.
“Mr. Richel. Cooking is an important issue.”
“yes… … .”
There doesn’t seem to be any consolation.
I smiled and asked Bion.
“Why did I see pigtails for the first time when I was seven? Aren’t the eyes of the omniscient and the blood letters only given to those with a reputation?”
“Fame is something that anyone can accumulate little by little if they live a normal life. One of the corner stone rules I mentioned last time… … .”
“ah. Anyone can build a reputation, right?”
“yes. The greatest happiness of the greatest number. Anyone can build a reputation just by making other people happy. Unless, like Mr. Trail, you don’t make it known to the world.”
So, a trail without a reputation could not use the eye of the battery immediately.
I was only using the connecting passage called Adin.
Bion continued speaking in a soft voice.
“In other words, Mr. Maid made the people of his hometown Hearthpil happy.”
“I didn’t really do anything.”
“Didn’t you help your father in hunting?”
“… … That alone builds a reputation?”
“The game the two rich men caught made someone in the territory happy, even in small ways. You can build a reputation just for that.”
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Making others happy.Surely it was something anyone could do.
And it must be said that a hero is something that makes as many people as possible as happy as possible.
‘Regardless of breaking the hero system… … .’
At least that’s what I like.
“Come to think of it, I prepared the breakfast on the day of the execution. to my mother.”
“… … .”
“It’s a tasteless potato soup that I’ve been working hard on for days.”
“Perhaps your mother was happy with the potato soup.”
“So, at least slightly, your reputation has grown, and you’ve crossed the line where you can draw blood.”
I received the letter of Pig in return for making my mother happy.
And through the pigtails, I learned about my mother’s greatest sin.
That’s ironic.
Anyway, when the story got there, the sandwich Bion had prepared was showing the bottom.
It seemed as if it was announcing that it was time to close this event.
I asked.
“Did you do everything I could tell you?”
“yes.”
“okay. great job.”
“What. I’m usually good at summarizing and speaking.”
“no. That’s not it.”
I opened my mouth in a soft voice.
“I’m talking about being alone in the arms of the world all this time.”
“… … !”
“You managed the world alone, which had been managed by so many researchers. It must have been difficult, but above all else, I must have been very lonely by myself.”
“Maid.”
“Now leave the rest to us and let us rest.”
Tears welled up in Rain’s eyes.
She quickly stole her face and answered.
“yes. Okay. To be honest, I am very tired.”
At those words, I felt something ominous nuance.
That seems to be the case with others.
Ardwin opened his mouth cautiously.
“sister. I’m telling you just in case… … Because Maid-hyung just said, ‘Take a rest,’ doesn’t mean you have to go to the underworld, right? It literally means rest.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think that’s possible.”
“what.”
“everyone. Would you like to see me over there?”
We turned our heads in the direction Bion was pointing.
At the bottom of this little garden where we were, stood a building of the first shape we had ever seen.
It is a round shape surrounded by gray stones of unknown material.
“Where?”
“That’s the lab. You and I, and the researchers who left earlier, all spent years crying and laughing together there. A whopping 230,000 years.”
“… … .”
“It was a long time, but I never felt bored or bored. To be honest, I had a lot of fun creating the hero system and managing the world there.”
Bion’s voice darkened.
“But the aura of wealth stored there is really scarce now.”
“What? Even if we all gave back our bodies?”
“You turned 7 years of time back with most of the energy you restored.”
“Oh, how long is there?”
Bion quietly raised one finger.
“one year?”
“An hour.”
“… … !”
“Exactly 57 minutes and 12 seconds left.”
We couldn’t say anything in astonishment.
Bion bowed his head with a rather apologetic expression.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you in the first place. Still, I’m glad I was able to call you right before the energy of wealth runs out.”
“… … .”
“The energy of wealth is also consumed by bringing people from the world here. I was going to have only Maid to save even a little bit, but I was stupid. What’s the point in adding a few more hours?”
She smiled a little.
“It’s much better to have more people who will be with me for the last time.”
“Rain, Mr. Bion.”
“I think I’ve done everything I can. If there is one problem, is Maid-sama no longer able to use both the eyes of the battery and the letters of the pigeon?”
When the energy of wealth disappears completely, neither the eyes of the battery nor the blood letters are activated.
But it didn’t matter at all.
Xenia interrupted with a serious expression.
“After all, I know all the secrets, so I don’t care about the eyes of the battery or the writing of blood. Rather, Mr. Bion… … .”
“no. Those abilities are still needed. Presumably, the presence of courtesy must have already started interfering. When I went back 230,000 years, I hadn’t interfered for about 10,000 years.”
“ah. Because we only went back seven years.”
“yes. At some point in your journey, he must have started meddling. It is a pity that he lost his weapon, the Eye of the Omniscient, since it was certain that he would do something magical.”
I briefly looked back on my journey so far.
From the time of returning 7 years to this moment today.
‘At some point during that time, he must have interfered.’
What was the content of the interference?
What is the result?
Then Bion changed his posture and continued.
“Of course, it is a pity that it is regrettable, and there is no way to solve it.”
“… … .”
“Maid. Please add one last rule before the aura of wealth completely disappears.”
I did not return any answers.
Bion is about to say something with a hurried expression on his face.
But before that, Neryl spoke.
“What will happen to this place when the wealth of the Institute is completely gone?”
“I don’t know. I have never experienced it before.”
“I know. It’s going to collapse here. you may die… … No, I’m sure I’ll die!”
Bion said in a soft voice.
“Again. He always sets an angle with me, and he worries about me when it’s decisive.”
“I’d rather you, just like us, return your body and be born into the world. If you are born as a baby, Me and Maid will take good care of you.”
“Well. Then I think I will fight a lot with my mother.”
“This is not the time to joke.”
“It is already too late for that. Mr. Neryl.”
Neryl looked like she was about to ask what was late.
But hot and shut up.
I closed my eyes, thinking I knew what you were saying.
“Even if I were to return my body, someone had to connect my soul to the world in the lab. But, as you know, there is no one left in the lab.”
“There is Ardwin.”
“The descending of the soul from the bosom of the world is fundamentally different from bringing the soul from the underworld. It is absolutely impossible without the help of the devices in the lab.”
“… … .”
“You have lost your memory of handling the devices here. along with all other memories.”
“… … .”
“One way or another, my ‘life’ is now one hour away. Even while I was doing this, time flew by, and now I have 55 minutes and 20 seconds left.”
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
More certain than any other time-limited judgment.It is a life in which the moment of death is decided in seconds.
We were choked and couldn’t say anything.
However, Bion, the party involved, maintained a detached attitude.
“Come on. Maid. We need to add the rules before it’s too late.”
“Have 55 minutes left? How much wealth would you have left if you used the energy of wealth to add a law?”
“About 30 minutes?”
“Didn’t you use up your wealth to invite someone into this world’s arms? How much does it cost per person?”
“What are you talking about… … .”
“Come on, answer me.”
“That, well. About 20 minutes.”
done.
It’s daunting, but definitely possible. this operation.
