“How did it go?” “Not working. She’s not reacting to me at all. Still as depressed as ever.”
The Phrase’s [Sovereign] Mel. Currently, she’s within the Babylon facility, or more precisely inside the Rampart of Babylon. (TL: there was an extra sentence in the raw about whether they should call her [King] or [Queen], but since we’ve already switched to [Sovereign] since last chapter, I decided to skip it.) It may make us sound bad, but currently she’s being confined by us. The room she’s staying in within the castle is properly sealed by a [Prison], so there’s no worry of either her escaping or the Phrase noticing her location.
“And I can’t find that bastard Ende too… Isn’t this exactly the time for you to unexpectedly show up, you idiot.”
I can’t find Ende using my search magic. He’s probably in the gap between dimensions again.
“Touya-san, regarding that person… What will you do?”
Yumina asked me with a concerned face. I’ve told His Majesty the Belfast King and Queen Yuel that the [Sovereign] had been successfully sealed. Well, it’s not a lie, at least.
“What does Yumina think is best? The Phrase are our enemies after all. Should I kill her? Or seal her away forever?”
I asked her a slightly mean question in order to avoid giving an answer which might sound short-sighted. In the end, I still want to do something about Mel, though.
“I think… I understand a bit of how that person feels. I’ve fallen in love with someone not of this world too, after all. I believe she’s probably just simply, desperately trying to not become separated from Ende-san, to the extent where she’s not taking her surroundings into consideration. Although it had developed in an unfortunate direction right now, I still think there’s something we can do.”
Saying that, Yumina held my hands with her own. As if pushing my feelings from behind, her upturned heterochromatic eyes stared straight at mine.
“She had come here on a path which unfortunately created unintended consequences, and conflict had been born from that; still, if it’s Touya-san, you can fix this situation. Please save that person.”
Looking at my fiancée who’s smiling pleasantly, I feel that my thoughts were easily seen through. Aren’t I already rolling in the palm of her hand… I’m probably not gonna become a strong husband in this family. Well, I already knew that, but still.
“Ah, also. If you find Ende-san, please smack him once in the head hard. For a man to leave his sweetheart alone while she’s suffering like this, Ende-san fails as a boyfriend. Absolutely no good.”
I think that’s being unreasonable, you know. Quite a bit. He probably doesn’t even know his lover is here, after all. And I’m the one who made it that way, too… (TL: wait, I’ve seen this plot in doujins before… I’m sorry, couldn’t resist.)
“Even if we call it joining together, it’s not like the two worlds will overlap each other or anything. The two worlds will just be connected while staying next to each other.”
Saying that, Kousuke oji-san removed his cotton gloves, and lined them up side by side on the ground.
“If there wasn’t interference from the evil god, it’ll probably at most be something like ‘We found a new continent!’ kinda thing. Well, they won’t believe that it’s a continent that is the splitting mirror image of their own, that’s for sure.”
A massive attack of the variants… At worst, we should probably seal the movements of the Phrase using Mel as a shield.
“Well, there’s no need to be worried much. Thinking that you need to do everything by yourself, that could become the deciding reason for your failure, you know? The seeds you have sowed in this world have already budded, grown beautiful flowers, and are now fruits that have ripened. You have nothing to fear from the likes of an evil god.”
Those words are very appreciated for me. As expected of a god related to the earth, the God of Agriculture. I’d like a love goddess and a drunkard goddess somewhere to listen to these words as well.
“Still, I’m worried about the Reverse World since the people living in this Surface World can at least deal with Phrase and variants by themselves somewhat. Would those golems of theirs be a good method of defense…?”
If I think about it, that’s right… The [Crown] series and similar golems should be able to deal with the variants by themselves. However, what if it’s an advanced-class variant? Would they really be able to win?
“Did you think of something?”
That’s right. For now, let’s go over to the other side and have that girl listen to my talk. It shouldn’t be useless since she might also know of the existence of a golem that can stand up to the variants.
“Well then, I’m off for a bit.”
I bid farewell to Kousuke oji-san who took up a hoe, and transferred to the Reverse World using [Dimensional Transfer].
“Now then, Elka the engineer… Here she is.”
I search for Elka on my smartphone’s map. She seems to be in a place quite a distance up north from the Holy Capital Alen where we met last time.
“The Golden Monster Appears Again”
The variants have appeared in this world again. What’s more, it was in this very Holy Capital.
“She should be somewhere around here…”
I reduced my altitude and speed and looked around the ground surface. The pointer was moving slowly, so I believe she’s walking on the road down there…
“Nn? Is it that?”
I can see a shadow moving on the road down below. A wolf-shaped figure was pulling along a woman wearing a worn-out white coat by the collar.
“Oi, are you guys ok!?”
Fenrir released Elka whom he had been holding in his mouth, and sent a greeting this way. As usual, a nice sounding baritone voice.
“Not that, what happened!? Did Elka-san hurt herself or…”
For a second, I failed to comprehend what he was talking about, but the loud *Gyurururururururu…* sound that came from the engineer’s stomach made everything clear to me.
“I’m, so, hungry…”
I’m filled with unease thinking about the trustworthiness of the person in front of me, who’s looking this way with a face that looks as if she’s about to die soon.
“Are you ok…”
As if saying “I’m not”, the *Gyurururururururu…* sound of her stomach rang out again.
