Isekai Cheat Survival Meshi

Episode Seventy-Eight: Starry Sky and the World of Loneliness

"Hey, we made it. Prepare the dishes."

"Yes, yes, leave it to me!"

A pleasant response returns to the gentle voice pounding the cancan and frying pan.

Three days after we started investigating the interior of the island, the time was when the sun was completely hidden.

Under a full starry sky, Yoda was preparing for dinner.

Today's prey was a giant bird three metres tall, running the ground with two tough legs - a big mouth.

With eyes that have no idea what you're thinking, the giant birds who rush their legs like the Marutai flickered with a move that made them anxious to see what it was like, but now they smell delicious on the frying pan, not the enemies of the investigation team that turned teamwork into a stone's throw.

"Steady...... I don't know, this polar zone. I'm pretty sure the demons are strong, but I don't have the ability to do it at all..."

A bitter smile greets you as you finish your meal and sit back on the chair replacement Marutai.

I feel silly, but I relax my expression to the scent of dinner that has been fragrant when I sit back.

Dinner this evening is fried freaky birds with onion salt. It is a dish where plants with thick stems and the monstrous birds that have been attacked were sautéed in a gallica-based salt dale, which was growing near the coast. It doesn't resemble an onion, but it's a late name that tasted close.

"Mmm! Muscular thighs have a nice texture."

"Nice sauce to instigate appetite. I don't know, it tastes like booze is going to go on. Weren't you old enough to drink, except for me?"

The muscular body is chewy and full of wild flavor because it was an organism that used developed legs as a weapon. That tangles with a sauce full of flavoured vegetables, what an appetite-inspiring finish. Makes me want to bite a big bite, that's the dish.

"Let's get back to it... this polar zone is still a lot weird. Demons are a strangely simple way to fight, they're primitive... and even if they're polar in nature, they still have a lot of unnatural things about boulders."

"I'm not sure there are many unnatural things about primitive…"

Discuss the results of the survey as we dine. That was Yoda's routine these days.

There are two things I found out as I proceeded to investigate the polar area.

One thing, as Yu said, is that there are many demons who are incapable, who look primitive.

"It's easy for me to fight, but I don't think there's anything I can do without the help of a new force."

"That's right... I'm still looking forward to this."

It appeared to be the harm of not being a new force for Yu.

Fighting demons without abilities is easy because of their superior self esteem, but it was a drawback not to lead to further reinforcement.

"The only force I've woken up to since I got here is this (...), huh? It's convenient, but... I don't know where I'm going anymore."

Because of this, there is one ability Yu has newly acquired since he came to The Paradise of Return.

It was only 'luminescent' by star fruit.

How glorious Yu can be by activating this force. The blurry gentle lights would be just right for indirect lighting or something.

It would help to illuminate at hand something, but it is such a just right salt plum power, careful to help with the night lane.

"I can absorb it by eating demonic abilities... fine, but I can jump high and have a poisonous taste, I can run through walls and make light and bubbles..."

"Yeah......? What bubbles?"

Ciel overhears the shadow of a strangely communal human separation.

Are you gonna throw up out of your mouth? There will be no sin on her for asking back about her incompetence.

"You see that? Like this."

"Buh...! Oh, hahahahahaha! What do you use it for?

"No, you can surprisingly prevent dragon flames or something. This is it."

"Puku, ku... and you've been talking too much"

The impact of the first sight is tremendous, and the two of them, who were not there when they lived in the mountains, hold their bellies down without laughing.

Did I just say marshmallowman if I were to compare the way you look today to a modern man? But I have no eyes, no mouth, no nose.

Nevertheless, if it wasn't like this, it would have died, so it's something life doesn't know. In that case, there would never have been anything like this here.

"Hey I was surprised at first too... I don't think I would have been in this world without this as well as Yu"

"Looking at it again, it's surreal after all..."

Ugh, exhaling, Yu releases her abilities and returns to her usual appearance.

It's not a powerful ability, but it's also true that I was saved by this. But it's also true that it looks funny.

While I think it might be excellent as a power to take a laugh - it's complicated to feel like this seems to be a strong degree of human separation in a way.

"And let's wrap up the investigation up around here until today."

Turn your expression into something serious just a little bit and take the helm of the topic.

Alicia and Ciel, who were pulling after the laugh, also managed to laugh and face the topic by doing so.

Yes, there was a derailment when it came to the topic of competence, but there is still information to share.

That's the second thing I found out from the investigation.

"Back to the polar environment, I think the divided climate has something to do with the pillars."

That's a story about the unnatural nature of the Paradise of Return.

Mysterious stone pillars found on the first day of launching a full investigation. I was lucky to find a footprint of civilization from the first day of the investigation, and Yu thought it wasn't.

"Ciel, can I have it?"

"Yes, this sums up the general position of the stone columns found so far."

Then why is that? The answer is because several stone columns have been found.

There was also a mix of damaged items, but the stone columns are apparently common on this island.

That's not all.

When you spread out something like the simple map Ciel took out, five gazes gather there.

"Look. Oh, I think I can see you lined up at equal intervals. As you tie the position of the column, it will be centered around the area."

It is the line of stone columns that Yo points to.

If you tie them together with a line drawn at a point, you will eventually be able to have a radial distribution.

If we follow its converging destinations - perhaps' something 'exists.

I don't know what's at the center of the line that connects the dots. But there's only one thing I can say for sure.

"Perhaps this is the essentially central, and most magical, place of the 'Paradise of Return'. In other words, the most dangerous zone will be here."

The demons that exist near the convergence point are probably the strongest creatures in this polar area, beyond the source of the magic that shapes the polar area.

I nod with no one to a heavy felt euphemism, somewhat lower than the usual one.

The results obtained by the investigation are clear.

That you have the technology to build some kind of magic device, according to the rules, and possibly someone who 'built' this polar area. That was the answer Yoda got.

And in talking about advanced magic technology, it is the Maor tribe that cannot be avoided.

There is, of course, no basis whatsoever for the fact that it was the Maor that created this polar area at this stage. Or even the possibility that it wasn't made by humans is undeniable.

But it is also true that the existence of magic technology that has progressed beyond the Maor has not been discovered.

"Still, you want to go? Can we go?"

Then the possibilities will have to be ascertained in achieving Clara's goals.

But that comes with difficulties.

The question of Yu is whether or not he is prepared to do so.

─ ─ But what Yu said was that he was prepared to go based on the premise that he could. That stuff, it's even past now.

"I'm set to go. Don't worry, we're already a lot of students."

"It's not very easy to get this far and not just mix it up. Yes, of course I will."

"Whatever the answer is. What a legendary ancient civilization. Leave things hanging, there will probably be nothing to go about. I was originally an adventurer... and..."

I am prepared and so on.

I know that. I just checked this out.

Nodding satisfactorily, Yu sends her gaze to Clara.

"Guys...... thank you. I don't need this....... thanks for the help!

Swallow the words, then say it clearly again.

Don't feel bad, thank you. Now, everyone smiles like a carnivore.

"... All right! Well, that's quick, but we're gonna embark on a central investigation tomorrow! I'm in Nojuku for at least a day, so try to get as good quality sleep as possible today!

If we decide unanimously, the rest is a statement of determination.

Listening to Yu's words about partitioning, Clara and the others feel they can do anything with wonder.

Is it because we have defeated strong enemies together and defeated difficulties? I'm sure it will work this time. It seems natural.

"Then today's investigative activity is over. All you have to do is sleep at any time you want, individually. Okay. Well, in short, you always do."

That may be because Yu himself says it like it's nothing.

Speaking of optimism, I can't deny it, but I feel better than the dark mood, and it's also true that I can moderately lose power.

Even so, I guess there's something to think about. Declaring bedtime, Yo didn't show a bare gesture of raising his hips.

"What's wrong, don't you sleep?

Sleep faster. Sometimes modern people are less resistant to boredom because of it, and they have a healthy rhythm of early sleep and early rise.

Polar regions...... or outdoors, I have nothing to do in particular. If you can't help but stay awake in boredom, you usually fall asleep early. If the conversation continues, it will remain moderate, but even then, I will tailor the leaves of the bun to tea and go to bed with the contents and topics exhausted.

But - - Yu was staring at the starry sky, which reminded him of the jewels of Henghe Sha, and the sea, which reflected and swayed the light of the stars, leaking an exclamation sigh.

"No, I'm worried about the view. It's been a long time since I've seen the view. When I started over here, I used to look at the starry sky called SUGASE GAUE, but then I stopped doing it."

When I first came to this world, I was impressed by the clear starry sky. But I was only ever going to stop doing that, too.

That's because I'm used to seeing it, but now that I realize it, the sight is just fantastic and beautiful.

Is it because the sky and the sea are close, when you look at them, everything in your sight seems to be full of stars, and the swings of the sea make you remember the illusion of one drifting within the star world.

To the sensation, Yu felt a strange sense of readiness. Think about it a little bit, I recall.

Oh, I guess this is the feeling of loneliness when I was just here.

The stars are the closer they are likely to reach, but the farther they are from scratching or praying.

Even if you know that the distance between a star and a star is incredibly far away, you learn the illusion that you're the only one who's fallen off the hook.

Still, the night in a secluded place is so dark that if you hadn't seen the light there would have been crushed.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen the stars... wow, they're beautiful"

"When you look at Umi, you seem to see everything in the stars. It's coming."

So... now I know why I look up at the starry sky less often.

"Mm-hmm. It's a landscape I feel like I'm gonna miss watching alone."

"Hmm, somehow, I don't know, but sometimes you feel like you're lonely. If you were alone or anywhere, there was an image of you moving busily just looking forward."

"Right. I wonder if it's full of vitality. Sounds like you can live anywhere if it's what you are, you. He's the kind of guy who makes food at home."

"Come on, what kind of person do you think I am? I mean, even I can't do it.... No, I'm still pretty lonely. Me."

Soon, Clara and the others sat side by side. Everyone is pointing in the same direction. Inside the star sea, like endlessly.

"Human beings can't live alone. Well, if it's easy, I can build a house, at least make clothes, and eat rice. But that's all. I don't know how to crush boredom, and if I get hurt, I can't move, if I get sick, I can't get my hands or feet."

I'm not the only one, I'm sure people can't live alone.

When I cut the words, I grinned at the quiet Clara's and Yu continued.

"For example, six months and a lifetime in a place like this could be the end of your life with a single tooth decay. If you don't eat, you'll die. I just caught a cold once and I don't know what will happen to tomorrow's food either. Even though this is the only thing I thought about being sick, even small injuries can rot if I can't make proper allowances, and someone thought about making a home in the first place - knowledge. I'm not saying I'll ever be alone, but maybe I'll think about it."

There are five of us now, and Clara will fix the injury, so we'll figure it out in about six months.

Still, even these five won't last long if it's a lifetime.

"In the end, humans have to live in flocks.... so maybe you have feelings of loneliness"

People can live because they've come together and built a culture.

Yu closed the words like that and then laughed lightly. I don't know what you're talking about. You laugh like that, but the look on Clara's face is really imminent.

that, in terms of individual combat abilities, the people of this world dealing with magical powers are strong.

But still, humans can't live on their own, they're no stranger to weak organisms.

... No, it's not.

"I'm strong, because we can be together and we can understand each other"

Poop, and. Clara's whining words stained Yoda as she drooled Shizuku over her handkerchief.

Yu felt kind of refreshed and stood up - without being shy - and nodded.

"Well, I also feel like a human being that doesn't always work out so well. This kind of smells a bit like preaching, but losing to greed and all that and fighting is something humans have been repeating. Sometimes the Maori people feel like they've been kicked out of the continent because of the ones who lost their greed..."

But.

Yu looked back at Clara and smiled.

"It's moonlight, but Clara has us. I won't let you miss me.... uh, that. I was alone over here, too, but I mean, it was okay because we're all here... oh, what are you talking about already? Sleep!"

Still, you must have realized you were saying a crummy line along the way.

Yu scratched his temples shyly and went into his own bunk.

The remaining Clara whined in a voice that could only be heard nearby, without ever looking at each other.

"I don't know... there's such a thing as cheating, he..."

"... yeah"

After nodding at Katia's words, Clara and the others stand sparsely and return to their bunks in pieces.

Don't let anyone see each other and not each other.

An ever-summer resort, a paradise of immortality. It's still hot in here tonight.
