Episode 86 – Ruler (6)

“Ah, lie.”

I inadvertently said this. Even though Lucy had no reason to lie like that.

“Why is it there?”

[I am also trying to confirm the facts, but I have failed to scan and analyze the relevant data.]

However, denying reality does not change it. Lucy said she scanned all the data she had and couldn’t find any information about it.

[The only thing that can be confirmed is that among the information obtained from interrogating wizards recently, the news that the forces of the Church are active on the battlefield with new weapons.]

“New weapon…”

[In the end, I think the only way to get accurate information right now is to hear it through the mouth of Yuria’s younger brother, Chris.]

At least in the other world, if Lucy was impossible, it was impossible. So for now, I have no choice but to do what Lucy tells me to do.

I saw Yuria moving in the screen.

She was moving on Lucy’s command and was facing soldiers who were currently trying to check and search. One of them is the one who shot right into the air.

It wasn’t just an old fashioned matchlock. Its shape and material, and even attached accessories.

I’m not a firearms expert, but I do know that automatic rifles are perfectly similar to Earth-made guns. Does that person even know what that weapon is?

“You mean a wizard?”

“Is this proof? I am the sister of Knight Chris.”

“Um, good. Pass.”

Yuria, who became a perfect person after changing her body, showed her simple magic, and they passed her without a doubt, and even sent someone to call her younger brother.

All that is left now is to wait for the younger brother.

“This is after…”

In that split second, I grabbed my complicated head. It must be that the world is intertwined with something deeper than I imagined. Anyway, that’s where the existence of Lucy was born, and honestly, there’s nothing strange about what happens.

***

“No way… really.”

“Chris, long time no see.”

It didn’t take long for the siblings to reunite. In the screen I was looking at, I saw a sturdy young man with wide eyes walking towards YuRia who was waiting and being guided by a soldier.

That this tall young man with blonde hair like her is definitely 18 years old, the same age as Oh Jin-hyeok. However, the apparent momentum was already a mature knight.

“I can not believe it.”

“I am real. Hard to believe, of course. We have a lot to talk about.”

Except for Chris’ voice trembling violently as he reaches out and caresses her face and Yuria’s throat chokes, it’s surprisingly calm for a family reunion.

It could be because we’ve already seen each other once, or it could be because we just don’t understand the situation itself yet.

“Let’s go somewhere quiet. We can tell our story.”

“······Come this way.”

At Yuria’s words to go to a quiet place, Chris led her to somewhere. The facility in the middle of the city where restoration work is going on here and there is a kind of barracks where knights like him stay.

He took Yuria into a place where no one was there.

[Right now, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of people around.]

Lucy took parts of Nano Omega disguised with YuRia’s clothes and skin tissue, made them into small bug-type scouts, and scattered them all over the place. It was for security.

“It’s safe here… So I can be honest.”

[Yuria, hurry up and ask me about guns.]

And the moment Chris looked back at her and opened his mouth in a disturbing voice. I clicked my tongue when I saw Lucy urging Yuria.

“If you start by asking such a question, Chris will doubt YuRia. It’s okay to let them communicate with each other now.”

[So you’re saying Chris will betray her?]

“It’s based on emotions, so it might be hard for you to understand.”

Lucy didn’t immediately understand that Lucy and Chris, who were related by blood, might not trust each other. Of course, it’s fine right now. because i will stop

“Leave it to YuRia. Because she will break through well on her own. After all, Chris is her brother.”

I decided to block Lucy’s intervention and trust YuRia.

In fact, with rather sad eyes, she was spilling information bit by bit, dissolving the doubts of her younger brother, who had been reunited for the first time in a while.

“You may be wondering how I am alive. But the important thing is not that I survived. Why did you die?”

“But surely Alfred-sama…”

“Alfred Griese. He is a traitor.”

Yuria revealed the truth and vented her resentment and anger. Chris was so shocked that he could see his face turning pale.

“They used us as bait and threw them away. For your major! And when I came back, I was blown away by it. As if he had become a great hero.”

“Yeah, it can be. Then, could it be him, or was it his sister who kidnapped him? All, other wizards!”

“······Kris.”

When Chris asked about the demon army, Yuria shook her head with her head down. With an expression that is heartbreaking no matter who sees it, as if there are many stories to tell.

“I’m sorry I left you alone as a child. I’m sorry that I didn’t come out victorious and was treated ugly even though I went and fought at my best. But I was finally given another chance. Don’t ask what chance it is. Just think of me.”

Yuria just skipped the mention of the demon army.

Fortunately, Chris is a kind and steady younger brother. He couldn’t bear to open his mouth because of his sister’s sincerity.

The conversations that followed were also trivial old stories and current stories. However, through those stories, Chris confirmed that the sister in front of him was a true being, and the remaining vigilance quickly disappeared.

“Then can we live together again?”

And this was what Chris said at the end of the conversation.

“I’m not sure about that.”

“Why can’t you be sure? I can’t believe I’m giving my sister an order right now…”

“I am loyal to him with all my heart. It is not a forced order.”

“Then what are his exact orders?”

Chris, tongue-in-cheek at Lucy’s story, asked her purpose. And our current purpose is, of course, one.

“You mean that weapon?”

As expected, Chris knew why. With a disapproving expression, he told me in detail where and how he got the gun.

“It is one of the trophies captured from the Church, and was originally sent here for magical research and analysis.”

“The new weapon of the Church….”

“That’s not all. They said that we, who had formed an allied force in various new technologies that the church began to use, were being pushed back.”

Chris, who clenched his tongue, testified about the weapons used by the Order and even showed drawing materials drawn on paper.

Seeing the pictures and listening to the explanation made it even more spectacle.

Various firearms, small bombs, etc. Even the rulers of the demon world, the rulers of the demon world, joined forces to fight, but the growing church continued to break their resistance.

[It is clear that there is a connection with Earth on the church side.]

“As far as I know, there is only one group that keeps bringing out newspapers. U.S. intelligence department.”

Based on Chris’ testimony, a quick backtrack was possible. A place where I succeeded in activating the dungeon core after me, a place where unknown items were given to the Awakened, and a place where a large amount of guns and ammunition could be supplied to another world without difficulty.

[The center of the church, Great Saint Evelia. And the Goddess of Light that the Great Saint believes in is connected as one.]

“These items are the grace of the goddess? So you’re saying that the ‘goddess’ is an American? Is that also cooperating with the US government?”

Lucy and I identified each other’s identity. A person who is an ordinary person on Earth, but is revered as a goddess of light in another world.

The shocking result left me speechless and leaned against the chair.

[The Great Saint Evelia, or members of the church. They seem to know the secret of dimension shifting.]

“Don’t get excited, Lucy. Probably because they don’t even know that. It would be all about sending some stuff like we did.”

While my head was complicated, I comforted Lucy, who was in a hurry somewhere.

They will also be impossible until the dimension shift that Lucy wants. Otherwise, there is no way to just move things back and forth.

“I wonder most of all if they are like us or if they are of a completely different type.”

In my memory, the church, to be precise, the Goddess of Light and Saint Evelia were beings that suddenly appeared in this world. A ray of light that saves those who are facing defeat in the fight against the demon king. Literally a savior.

The path of rapid growth that followed was quite different from those of us, who had been accidentally caught up in it and had grown tenaciously from the bottom of the labyrinth. It wasn’t without a crisis, but they steadily and continuously repeated their growth as if they were climbing stairs.

If this is what was meant to be, it doesn’t make sense that Lucy was dropped here after they had already won a great victory. However, all of this can be explained by chance or accident.

[Can’t get directions. There is too little data to establish a response. Please tell me the way.]

“I am not sure either. So, let’s deal with what’s in front of us first.”

Lucy and I couldn’t make the decision easily. If I had just met Lucy, I would have just screamed, but not anymore.

The Church and the Great Saint. Looking at Lucy’s inclinations and their inclinations, they will surely come into conflict at some point.

[I can replace the power they have. We do not have to retreat first.]

“I know. You don’t have to worry about that anymore.”

Lucy seems worried that I might see them as allies and stop fighting.

But I didn’t even think of that in the first place. As long as they don’t know my identity, fighting here doesn’t mean fighting them in real life, and as Lucy said, there’s nothing Lucy can’t replace them.

It’s just that fear took over. I am just one individual who has to help Lucy, but they are a huge group.

[That’s fine. I just need to become bigger than that. So that even if they are not there, the vacancy will not be felt.]

But this time Lucy dispelled my worries.

***

“Are you sure you can stay here anyway?”

“For the time being.”

“Then that is enough. To be honest, I still can’t believe it, but anyway…”

While Lucy, who was supposed to give instructions, was silent for a while, Yuria and Chris were able to talk again.

Chris’s eyes were very complex. The general situation was more than Yuria knew.

“A lot of time has passed. But somehow… it doesn’t seem to have changed.”

“The fact that I, who fell as a mere beast after becoming a prisoner of the demons, survived for several years and gained new favors is a miracle itself.”

Chris sighed at the sight of Yuria, who looked no different from when he broke up with him, and Yuria nodded.

In fact, her face and body, which had been restored to the prime of her body, were not very different from Chris now, despite the age difference.

[Yuria, this time ask him about the current situation.]

However, Lucy’s instructions continued, so she had to control her emotions and continue to do what she had to do.
