Chapter 132
Year 7444, Month 5, Day 28
While looking at the remains of the crystal ball that crumbled and scattered I contemplated for a short period before trying to use {Anti-Magic Field} as if I remembered it. On both my head and Miduchi's head the blue spell light continued to shine.
"Well, that is, how do I put it, it's weird for me to say but sorry about that."
I showed my hand with the light still on it while saying.
"..It's fine. Since I'm still alive like this..and I understand the madams feelings as well. She wasn't able to tell us about it in detail but she reincarnated in an era 1,300 years ago...Soon after getting married and having a child an army from a foreign country invaded and I'm sure she lost her family them...After that I don't know what happened..She lived for several hundred years and even made it to a {Demi-God}...And then another countless hundreds of year. It was at that time that I was born right near her, at first she might have just felt like confirming a bit but after peeking inside of my memories you were there. I'm sure, it was nostalgic, and a variety of emotions suddenly overflowed as she indulged in and looked through everything."
That's true but the one who was the direct victim of it was you right...
"It's not like I have the experience of living a life like that so it's not like I'd really know but...But, I think that surely that's the case. Like it's not unreasonable, and can't be helped. If she saw all of my memories then she should have been able to imagine that you reincarnated as well. I think that it was quite difficult."
That is~ not a hard amount of time and work to imagine. And, after spending several years she finally found me I'm sure.
".."
".."
"Thanks for thinking like that."
"No.."
Miduchi looked downwards. She might be saying that but I'm sure her feelings are a mess.
I have no right to say anything more though. Even if it wasn't my intention it's a partner I was separated from 16 years ago. Furthermore, 1,300 years have passed for Miki, honestly speaking I'm just happy she still remembered and cared about me.
"By the way, Miki..Is Lilus a proper King?"
It's nothing I particularly need to ask about right now but I wanted to change the topic.
"It's my first time seeing her majesty's face. According to the stories I've heard the last time the elders..the elders are like the ministers of Lail Kingdom but the last time they met her was far in the past as well. I've even heard that the current elders haven't directly met her."
So she wasn't. No, I guess it's not a problem if the country is still properly being managed even like that.
"Hmn..Let me hear some stories about Lail Kingdom. I'll tell you all of the things I know about Rombert Kingdom as well.."
.............
I think we probably continued talking for another 2-3 hours. Our stomachs finally started growling so we decided to return to the surface. I guess it's just after noon right now? I'm sure everyone is worried.
"You're, returning to your country right? Around how far away is it? When do you think you'll be able to return?"
"Erurehei..Mount Kinru is 1000Km away from here, so it's not that much. But it's still considerably far. I think if the trip on a horse is favorable then it takes around 4 weeks? There's quite a few mountain paths after all."
It's quite far. since I was suddenly curious about it I tried asking midway through the conversation.
"Do you have a horse? If you don't the"It's alright. I have a horse. I've left it in the care of my inn right now. I'll dispose of the magic stone I received when I return to my country..retire from my job..confirm the condition of my brother, and if everything is good I would like to return right away but.."
"Do you feel bad for your older brother? Seeing Miki, no the King..and she was going to die wasn't it.."
"I think I would like to return as fast as possible but.."
Miduchi said with a slightly serious face and depressed voice.
"I'll still be here in Baldukk for the time being. We might not even be able to reach this floor in a year or so..not that I know what floor it is though."
".."
"That's why, don't worry about it. It would be good if your older brother gets better."
"..Yes..But, even though we finally met again..be..because of my circumstances.."
Don't make a face like that.
"It's fine. Rather than me right now worry about yor brother..Alright! Let's go!"
I stood up cheerfully to try and remove the slightly depressing atmosphere and stretched my hand out to Miduchi. Miduchi's hand was hard from the sword callouses.
............
"Return us."
How many times we have teleported up until just now again? One..Two..Three...
"Nn..Since when was Unit Organization cut? Isn't that strange?"
Since we were dazed out in the process of repeating teleportation to the upper floors I didn't notice it.
"Huh? Come to think of it.."
By the time we realized the effect of Miduchi's Unit Organization had been cut off.
I guess because Miduchi was spacing out?
"Well, it's fine since we're leaving already though."
"Wa, Yes..But, that..I'll use it once more."
