Episode 160 [Discussion with master/1]
When I told my master that I wanted to move to Sky Island, my master wanted to know why I had thought of such a thing, so I decided to move to my master's house and discuss the details.
"... Disciple-chan has been saying for a while that she doesn't want anything to do with Hero-kun, but could you just tell me why that is? You haven't told the truth to Chloe-chan and the others, have you?"
"Oh, that's..."
When I told my master that I wanted to move to Sky Island because I didn't want to meet the hero, my master told me so.
The truth is, we have to talk about the relationship between the hero and Jin in the game.
But even if I told him about this, my master might not believe me.
"Apprentice-chan. Even if the story seems hard to believe, I will believe it. After all, I am your master."
"Master...I understand. I swear that what I am about to tell you is not a lie. Therefore, please listen to it as if Master is also telling the truth."
"Yes, I understand."
After I looked my master in the eye and said that, I told him everything about how this world was similar to the world of the game I was in, how I lived in a different world, and the relationship between the hero and Jin.
I thought that he wouldn't believe such a wild story, but when he heard my story, he said with a satisfied look on his face, ``So that's why you knew a lot of things.''
"Apprentice-chan, you happened to be trying out things that I haven't taught you, and I was wondering where you saw that."
“My master was in the game, so I used magic while remembering that time.”
"I see. By the way, what was I like in that 'game'?"
"He was the strongest. He was a Balance Breaker, and when he became an ally, his progress was extremely fast. Since he's a support character, he can't be used in battles against the Demon King, but he can wipe out small fry opponents with a wide range of magic. He was one of the strong characters.”
When I told him that my master was extremely strong in the game, he had a happy and understandable look on his face and seemed satisfied.
"Anyway, I understand a lot of things. Why does Disciple-chan want to stay away from Hero-kun so much? Disciple-chan is afraid that being near Hero-kun might change him. ?”
"...Yes. I myself have a different personality from Jin, so I try to think that I won't fall into darkness."
By getting involved with the hero, there may be a possibility that you will fall into darkness.
Because of this, I have been trying my best to avoid getting involved with the hero as much as possible, and to avoid getting close to the people involved.
In the end, I prioritized my own personality and the profits from my actions and became friends with the princess, Julius, and other people involved in the castle.
However, for the past three years, I have been trying to avoid getting close to other people who might be related to the hero.
"The reason for your disciple's actions is not because he doesn't want to have anything to do with the hero, but because he wants to avoid something that might change."
"yes"
After listening to the entire story, the master said that, took a breather, and began to think deeply.
Well, if someone were actually reincarnated from another dimension and told that this world is similar to the game, anyone would think about it.
Master continued to worry for the next few minutes.
"...That's a difficult question. There seem to be many reasons why the disciple-chan turned dark in the game, but as long as the hero who was the main reason remains, I can understand why that anxiety won't go away."
"That's right. I haven't completely given up on the possibility that something like the ability to modify the story will work."
``For me, this world is a normal world, but from my disciple's point of view, it's very similar to that story, so I can understand why you feel that way.''
After saying that, the master took a deep breath and said, ``Let's solve the cause of your disciple's descent into darkness.''
“So what are you going to do about the hero?”
"No, I'm thinking of solving the other problem, not the hero, but the 'devil' who is the biggest reason for the disciple's fall into darkness."
When I heard my master's words, I was surprised and said, "You can do something like that!?" and my master smiled.
