only monsters

The young man was sitting in front of a cafe, looking at the menu in his hand. In front of him was another young man who looked almost identical to him.

He said that his name was Observer, and that he came from a different world and was Omer Linton from parallel time and space. The young man took what he said to be true. After all, he had not yet found any evidence to deny the other party.

"Latte, thank you."

His eyes lingered on the black coffee for a moment, but he still had some inexplicable resistance that made him decide to order something else.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had suffered losses in this store before, but his mental state was indeed not good these days, and even his memory seemed to be betraying him, and he couldn't control himself at all.

"Because your subconscious mind is being suppressed, there will be a force forcing your instinct, forcing it not to try to awaken the memory, so that even the chip in the brain cannot be mobilized."

It's like reading minds, the other person seems to know what he is thinking and what is worrying him.

He always answers the questions he wants to ask first.

The young man felt that he could somewhat understand why he did it. After all, he occasionally had inexplicable premonitions.

Just when you look at others, an idea will suddenly pop up in your mind. That idea will interpret the other person's state and what they will do next.

Occasionally he would make mistakes, but most of the time it would be accurate, so accurate that he once thought he had an extra superpower.

Precisely because of this, when the 'observer' made such a performance, the persuasiveness of his words also slightly improved in the young man's mind.

But even so...

"A chip in your brain?"

This kind of phrase that only appears in science fiction works is more bizarre to young people than themselves in another world.

After all, the recent Japanese light novels and comics are popular in various different world types. In comparison... in the field of science fiction...

He only remembered that the recent fantasy special photography did not include relatively friendly technological products such as chips, and even the expenses spent on designing fighter planes were used to create more romantic products such as Super Carrots.

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. The cost for you to try is too high, and that's not the point. Let's get back to the original topic, Omer Linton. You have to be careful about Omer Linton who appears next."

"It sounds like there are many versions of you like me in other worlds."

"To be precise, it's a different universe," the observer said calmly. "The barriers between worlds are still very solid, and the number of members is limited. But I'm just you from another universe."

"..."

"Hard to believe, isn't it?"

"No, it was just because it was too cartoonish, so I was stunned for a moment," the young man said, thanking the waiter for the latte, "So the 'me' that appears next is also from a different universe? Is it an assassin?"

"No, because of the intimidation of one of you, even Omer Linton, who has an extreme mentality, has to consider the costs and gains of getting involved in this matter. And as far as I know, you are the one who has the most contact with monsters. you……"

"It sounds a bit convoluted."

"Then... you can call him the 'King of Beasts'. Even if Omo Linton wants to gain something from the monster realm and takes risks, he will not act rashly until he is sure that the harvest will be powerful enough to surpass the King of Beasts." .”

"But you said the crisis in this world is the crisis in the multiverse..."

"Yes, even though it is just a computer world universe, it is still the intensity of the multiverse."

"Then...even if you can get the favor of such a behind-the-scenes villain, isn't it enough to fight against the King of Beasts?"

"...Although I don't want to admit it, that guy can indeed cut off one of my arms across the distance of the universe."

"..."

"Your eyes are much more understanding than before. Are you wondering if I am a dangerous person after being attacked by the King of Beasts?"

"If not, please allow me to apologize."

"You really should apologize. This is a very bad slander because that guy is the dangerous person."

The Observer took a sip of the black coffee in front of him.

"If this crisis is left to him to handle, he will destroy universe after universe until he catches the universe where the culprit is."

"At that point, even if the other party hides in the past or the future, it will be meaningless."

"Then the culprit can transcend time?"

"He originally arrived here from the future 20,000 years in the future. It's not surprising. Even the Anti-Spiral tribe you originally knew took a thousand years to become like that."

"This sounds no longer the settings that will be set in ordinary light novels and comics. I am curious about one thing, can you answer me?" "What?"

"Did I have a giant robot to drive?"

"My time is not used to answer such boring questions."

"But I think this is an important issue."

The young man's confident answer made the other party silent for a moment.

"...It really surprised me."

"what?"

"You, the monster who has lost everything, and the desires they reflected, have also lost it. You just forced yourself to simulate the illusion of being intimate with that woman, and you can actually show that even I can't tell the truth. Mechanical desire.”

"Is your ego still producing new desires little by little?"

"I think...this is not an intelligence category that I can answer..."

"Indeed, it is unrealistic to expect you to be completely suppressed by false memories. In fact, given the pressure you are under now, it is not a good thing to tell too much established information. It is like you are starting to have blood congestion again."

Looking at the young man who was still leaning on the table with his elbows on the table and forced to sit down with bloodshot eyes, nose and mouth, the observer shook his head.

"You are being cared for all the time."

"The authority the other party placed on you is even more coercive than the oppression Shinjo Akane suffered. Any hasty peek into your true self will further tilt the pressure. And you have nothing now, only this unprecedented weakness. body of."

"...but I...still want to...know..."

"I've seen that even if your subconscious mind doesn't question everything in order to survive, you still can't help but reach out to that snake."

"This persistence that goes against biological common sense... To be honest, I really don't want to care about you." After taking another sip of coffee and putting it down, the observer sighed.

"But if you are allowed to continue seeking death like this, the material will also deteriorate."

"I...won't...know..."

"Of course I believe that completely ignorant attempts are stupid. The current information is enough for you to change your original pace and you will not be so stupid anymore, but the price is your current state... Can you still hear my voice? "

He asked, looking at the young man who was already lying on the table with blood dripping from the edge.

"can……"

"So back to the topic at the beginning, have you heard the roar now?"

He raised his head, leaned back slightly on the chair, and looked toward the hospital in the distance.

There, stood a huge figure nearly fifty meters tall.

Wearing a damaged warrior armor, there were even incompletely bent arrows stuck on his body, and his pale face with disheveled hair and slender eyes as red as blood looked even more terrifying like a wraith.

Renki/爱鬼.

Originally a samurai and a princess who fell in love during the Warring States Period in Japan, they were unable to unite as they wished due to the hostility between their countries. Their souls intertwined after they died in love, creating a huge resentment.

At this moment, the knife split open the entire hospital building, and its narrow eyes continued to search within it, as if chasing the existence they hated.

"The thing that moves fastest after being attracted is indeed love. Mixed with sexual desire, the desire that you have suppressed too much rebounds very quickly."

"He is looking for you, and your presence hinders their freedom."

"Varied……"

"The separated emotions, more accurately, are the separated hearts. They are soaked in the darkness that you have been blocking. Each one of them is Ormer Linton, and each one wants to gain freedom from freedom. Freedom from bondage.”

"Isn't it difficult to understand?"

"Those things that should have been just cards, those things that should have just been instinctive, now have real hearts."

"Although it's just a heart of darkness."

"But they are also complete because of you, have life, and are real monsters."
