A NEET’s Guide to the Parallel World: Healer, the Strongest Cheat? - 238 265

At the end of his engagement with Amadeus and to the death of Alford, the political ministry informed Sieg of the separation from the heart of the dragon.

A few days after his return to Wolzwola, the political ministry did not even meet Lucius, nor did Lucius try to face the political ministry, but only time had passed.

There was Toa in front of the political sect.

Sufilia was still stuck in the library.

Nem was sometimes near the political ministry, while reading books in a library with Sufilia and walking in the garden continued to be a peaceful routine for Nem.

But for the political ministry, it was just a distressing day to figure out where to start and tell Toa what to do.

“Toa…… Mr. Rosalia, what was he like?

To the toa relaxing by the fireplace, the political sect cuts out.

“What, sister? My sister is… beautiful, kind and always listens to me…”

That’s where Toa’s words stop.

“Toa?”

“… when will you be back”

To those words that come out of Toa’s mouth, the political ministry does not put them in his mouth, but accepts the fact that Toa has really forgotten.

But there is no breakthrough.

“Toa, today…… why don’t we go to the lake together?

“The lake? You mean the lake of origin?

“Oh. Um, I don’t know, I need to talk to Toa”

“Nothing, but not here?

“Well… it was the place I wanted to go with Toa once, and it was just fine…”

Toa replied, “I get it,” while questioning the political sect that said so.

Lucius was the one who appeared before the two of them when they tried to knock over the gates of the Demon King’s Castle.

“Father, what’s going on here?”

“I just wanted to get through a little bit, are you going somewhere?

“The lake, Masamune wants to go.”

But Lucius and his ministry look quietly, and speak without words.

There was confirmation and consent in both eyes.

That’s a confirmation today that I’m telling Toa, and I agree with that.

“Do you mind if I move too?”

“Oh, I don’t mind…”

The word was consent to the political sect.

And to Lucius, who said so, he said, “I’d like to go with Toa if I could, but are you sure you’re following me?” and make a final confirmation.

“I haven’t been there in a long time. It’s been a while since I’ve seen this.”

“… Really? Then you have no choice.”

▽

The lake of origin was not even that big, surrounded by woods.

The figure has not changed since the birth of the demon king Rosev, and no one’s hands have been put on it.

The three came through the woods, and from among the trees to such a distance that the lake could be seen in the distance.

And plugged into the entrance to the lake, Lucius and the political ministry stop their feet.

Then Toa smiled, unaware of the two who had stopped her legs, and one, ran towards the lake.

“Masamune-kun, this choice is one-way. There’s no turning back.”

“That’s why I’m here. Toa saved me from coming to this world and just dragging my past. Now I’ll help…”

“It’s not a matter of emotion alone,” domination “is not easy…”

That’s when they both realized at the same time.

Toa stopped by the lake. Stay down, don’t move off the spot.

“Toa……”

Shortly after the political sect called for it to be so, a gust of wind broke out around Toa.

The political sect immediately feels it is a magical breeze, and recalls the memories fascinated by Lucius.

And when the wind began to stabilize with its roughness retained, the voice was heard.

“I can’t show her this place…”

It doesn’t belong to Toa. The political sect immediately decided so with intuition.

But it’s Toa who’s talking.

The voice also belongs to Toa, and its face, which I looked back on, belongs to Toa.

But from the look and sight of him, the political ministry felt the sign of another, not Toa.

“What do you want, why suffer Toa while in Toa’s body”

“Masamune, you don’t understand. I’m Toa, too. I just want to save me. I’m just protecting myself…”

“It’s not like the usual Toa. That’s all for sure. Toa doesn’t emit such rough magic without meaning. ‘Cause there’s gonna be damage.”

“Right… sure, I’m not what you call“ usual Toa “”

“It’s a synthesis of personality. Masamune-kun, she’s definitely Toa, but not Toa’s original personality. I should have shown you, Toa couldn’t have killed Cassandra in the first place. But if Toa killed him, as you say, it’s not the usual Toa, it’s the Toa in front of you now.”

“Toa… why did you lie to me”

“Lie? I’m not lying.”

“At that time, if Toa hadn’t stopped, I would have killed that demon clan, and Cassandra would never have appeared in Fishanatica. I didn’t mean to kill the Demons. Toa never killed Cassandra either. I just believed Toa’s words. It’s easier to suspect, I’ve suspected people so far. Because I’ve lived, at least only my own people want to believe……… it’s my mistake to escape emotion. My head knew I should have killed him.”

“Yeah…… but like I said, it was okay, right?

“What’s okay… nothing’s okay. Cassandra died, and things just got worse. Now there is also the tsunami. You just wanted Toa to do what he didn’t want. It is Ignotas and not Cassandra who should be killed. Restore your memory and Toa will…”

“You’re gonna break.”

“… right. That was your purpose. Not to protect Toa.”

“Masamune-kun, that’s the Ruling. This is the path the Demons will follow when they have this skill in their hands. Sacrifice is a cliché, and” dominion “is constantly asking about host gaps. But I want to solve one misunderstanding.”

“… misunderstanding?

“Masamune-kun just said that Toa lied, but that’s not a lie”

……

“He hasn’t noticed. Toa in front of me has no consciousness as a” dominion “. Good and evil, this is life’s work. Everyone, regardless of race, is distressed and confused. This Toa was not born out of nothing. It was originally in Toa. If loving and admiring Cassandra was good for Toa, then evil was killing her. If killing Ignotas is supposed to be good for Toa, then not killing is evil. That’s all. On top of what could have happened, this Toa is real.”

“… but fundamentally not. Even if Toa and this Toa are the same Toa as unconscious, Toa won’t hurt herself from herself. You know what happens if you kill Cassandra.”

“I didn’t get it.”

“What?”

“She just followed the evil in herself. As a result of killing Cassandra, Toa tried to drive her spirit crazy. That’s only a theory of consequences. In her, yes. So she’s now coming outside to surface Toa like this. Don’t you?”

“Now that Toa’s on the table, she can’t stay sane anymore. I just want to protect myself.”

“… reasoning.”

“Masamune-kun,” rule “is the harmony between good and evil. You can’t trump one side or the other. There’s good and evil involved, but it’s not a problem that can be solved with good and evil. The essence is not there, but why Toa is ruled. That’s because Toa didn’t accept herself and ran away from the facts. It’s not her fault. She’s right, she’s Toa too, and she’s protecting Toa now”

The political sect was badly confused.

I thought destroying bad personality would solve the problem.

But things weren’t that simple, and Toa herself needed to embrace the evil she could have imagined.

“You need to accept Mr. Loazalia’s death… and that Ignotas killed him, and Cassandra was just being manipulated”

“Toa, the child, has seen it. The moment Cassandra stabbed my sister. It is traumatic and rooted. But now Toa will know. But trauma doesn’t make sense.”

The political ministry was listening, staring at Toa.

Toa doesn’t even show a response and doesn’t give an answer.

Then the political sect summoned a whirlpool of dungeons, from which he pulled out the red and black shadows.

It becomes a long, rod-shaped shadow, transforming itself into a single scepter.

“Ver, what can I do?”

– It’s Verphegor’s scepter.

The political ministry asked Ver.

“Why don’t you just take every skill?”

Ver answers instantly.

“Is that… a talking wand”

Lucius looked at Ver with a convincing look as if he had any idea.

“But that…”

“If you make a mistake, the master dies. I don’t recommend using it so many times in unfamiliar conditions. But if that’s the will of the master, I won’t stop you. Lying to yourself, that’s death to the abyss. Other than that, I don’t know. Besides, I hope it wasn’t now. You can try as much as you want after you’ve become familiar with the abyss. Come on, master of what to do”

In a tone that seemed like he was trying Ver’s own, the political ministry gave him a deep thought.

“Now is the time to do it. Ver, I need your support.”

“What do you mean?”

Lucius clouded his expression.

“I’ll pull off Toa’s Ruling.”

“No way… that’s…”

“Using Existence is possible. It’s just quite risky. Whatever the nature of my skills, if I lose them, I lose my existence, and I die.”

“… have you done this before”

“I’m talking about the extent to which you thread the needle. It’s just that it’s hard when you couldn’t.”

“So you…”

“I don’t mind. I have no hesitation… if you want to do it now, and let’s end it all”

……

Lucius did not answer the word, but the political ministry cast a shadow like red and black sand iron from all over his body, approaching Toa.

“Toa. I’ll take care of that skill. That was the best thing if you could destroy it. I don’t want that either, if I can.”

“Masamune……”

Toa had no way of escaping, just looking into Masamune’s eyes as he approached.

“She belongs to you, that’s what you said”

“I help because I’ve been helped. That’s just it. And then Toa decides…”

“Hehe…”

Toa laughed thinly.

“I knew you were right to leave it to you. Masamune……”

A red and black shadow covered Toa.
