Log Horizon

◆ Reverse Chapter

Siloe was staring blurry into the air.

Earlier, I talked to people everywhere, and I ended up doing it. Surrounded by synthetic stone and magic machinery, this room is still the Fort of Calling. After crusading the Summoned Catastrophe Tariktan, the summoned monster and his eggs disappeared into rainbow foam, but we had to make sure all of them were gone. While accepting successors from Akiba, the Fortress of Calling is being explored.

Shiloe and his large combat (Reid) offensive team were exempt from investigation and perimeter alert due to battle fatigue, but the energetic ones seemed to be moving spontaneously. Nevertheless, the main tired members were sitting back in this equipment room (studio) at the base of the broadcast tower, centered on guerrilla concerts in the music hall, as well as Xiaolong and Flying Swallow, who are ready for the banquet and supporting it.

Swaying his saturated head, Siloe rehydrates from the water bottle.

I got a lot more emotional in earlier fights. I am ashamed of myself, but I am glad of this. Whatever it is, Siloe chose to be greedy.

I want to help those who can, and I want to protect my people.

Until now Siloe has been reluctant. I've stood around secretly only to the extent that I can handle it within me, so that I don't get my hands on the outside of it, so that the escape path remains where I put it. But those days are over.

I didn't mean to be halfway there when I decided I wanted to.

Stop eating that Akiba will have any more gloomy vibes.

Prevent disturbances from occurring between the east and west of Yamato.

Discuss with "Navigational Species".

Return to the original world.

That would be the case in words. Siloe leaked a laugh at a seemingly unfamiliar goal. But it's good. I decided to move to do so, so Siloe's feelings were clear.

The immediate course of action would be | contact with "PLANT HWYADEN", "PLANT FROUDEN" and "Holy Empire Westlande". I have a strong aroma of trouble and I have a sense that I have kept putting it behind me until now, but when this happens, I can't afford not to exchange information.

"Way back was discovered," Wet Feather said.

That in itself does not surprise me very much. Siroe thinks there are a number of "situations you can say so," and some of them may have been able to return in some ways. The question is not whether or not there is the technology or the method by which you can return, but whether or not you confirm your return. Now, assuming any "adventurer" from this Cerdesia disappears, and with it Minami says he "succeeded in returning", that just means he could have had one missing person. The current Krusty situation goes hand in hand with that.

The inevitable hurdle that most humans who want to return ignore is this "confirmation of return," how to communicate with the Earth world. We must be able to communicate with the Earth world in the event of our return. This is an absolute prerequisite.

If that were not to be achieved, the developments ahead would be quite fortunate. In other words, I would choose one or eight of the "body erasure" ideas that I would come up with and try. Even if such a method were to succeed, it would not confirm its success any more than a method of contacting us has not been established by the person who returned to the Earth world. I wish I was successful, but it sucks that I can't even get confirmation of failure. There could also be a future in which one jump into the same trap after the other as if it were mass suicide.

It is the exchange of information with the "sailing species" that holds hope as a breakthrough, but even when doing so, it will be imperative to discuss it with the "PLANT HWYADEN" and to consolidate the scaffolding.

I have no doubt about the difference between their ranks 2 and 3, but the only thing I can say is that Minori was a testament to herself. Siloe is not going to be corrupted by what they call "Rank 2".

Later on, something that still seems to have clues within the goal is also preventing the unrest in Yamato. We're going in between armed clashes between political subjects. It's an outrage like I've never thought of, but I'm surprised that the hurdles are still relatively low among the challenges that the outrage raised. It would also be impossible to get a dry laugh.

This meant that whichever of the objectives was the priority, the Shiloes would have to discuss it with "PLANT HWYADEN" and at least exchange information.

"Mr. Siloe, what is it? Are you still tired?

Minori lowered her hips next to Shiloe's left. I take off my witch's clothes and at some point I'm in a tie to a blouse smudged with student clothes.

"He looked difficult again, my lord."

Akatsuki, next to him on the right, advises Shiloe as he lifts his own eyes cuddly with his fingertips. I don't mean to look like that, but Siroe laughed bitterly.

"For once. In battle, see. 'Cause I said something big about it."

"Was it?

With his arms together, Akatsuki tilted his little neck with his stiff eyes.

I felt connected in that dizzying offense, but I knew that was an illusion, Siroe thought. The troubles and determination of Siloe apparently have not been conveyed to this little "assassin" (Assassin).

Minori looks surprised, just in case. Of course, but it didn't seem to have been conveyed to this girl, who was far from her age.

I suppose this is because of God, who says, "Tell us what we think of each other in words." Siroe tried to explain, feeling a little disappointed and much relieved.

"I thought I'd do my best to make a wish. The goal is high and far away, so much that I don't know if I can reach it. There's a pile of things to do, all of which are super difficult (Nightmare). There's more work to do and where to start. That's what I was thinking."

"What? I mean, isn't it the way it always is?"

"Huh?"

But Siloe's confession takes the form of a light cut off in Akatsuki's response.

(Er. It's important to talk to my buddies. Because it's not good to accumulate too much, even I learned to come home with Reid from the Suskino Expedition Naruto, which was so harsh...)

Siroe was greatly shocked that the consultation was "as usual" and given a light rejection.

"That's right. Isn't it the same every month?"

"Huh!?

Besides, it's even tuned to Minori, and there's no word to give it back.

Wouldn't it be terrible to say "same every month" if I did? Then it's like a miserable clerical job where Siloe is just roaring in the office. The kind of evaluation that comes to Cerdesia and only does that is disingenuous. Even Siloe should have been active. An expedition to Suskino or "Naruto's Join the Way"?

Neither of which Minori was accompanied but noticed was a failure.

An exciting look Minori said, "I bought smooth ink and dry sand for paperwork only. Look at Mr. Shiloe, too," he said, taking out the magic bag, and Shiloe could only look at it with a tight look.

It was Li-Gang who was the rescue for Siloe, who tried to switch the subject.

If you think that the communication device that was crouching earlier and touching the magic circuit suddenly started pouring deafening noise, the lights went back into the room.

I make a sound that I can play, sparks scatter, and suddenly the loudspeaker starts vibrating.

In the first place, I was resting in this not even wide holding room because Li-Gun just wanted to see how the communication device was damaged, to investigate whether the negative effects of the "Normal Disaster Tariktan" remained - and so on.

Members who were sleeping hypnotically with their eyes closed are also waking up their bodies and watching what happens.

"You fixed it, old man"

"Hey, it's not so much a fix as a confirmation of the viability of the function itself."

"I can talk to Mr. Moon. Are you done?

"I've debuted to the galaxy -!

Li-gun, stuffed by his direct successors, answers on all fours to maintain the back of the low device. The voice was fun, even though it was a painful attitude no matter how I looked at it. It can be said that I am happy. I'm a hobbyist. Oh, and still watching, Shiloe snapped.

"- Talk in the first place. We know this was an ancient Alv-era long-distance communication device, but it's not an establishment designed to communicate with the moon, is it? We hear about the purpose of the moon and the communication, but it analyzes and researches this magic device, performs the necessary modifications and enhancements, and then it becomes even more challenging."

"Surprisingly, I mean realistic"

Shiloe took it for granted. Tora said to such an explanation, "I'm disappointed. I was hoping this would be my space debut," he climbed straight up, screaming yellow when Marielle pulled me off.

With all that fuss, Shiloe was finally feeling her body lose its strength. Shibuya's massive battle (Reid) is over. The series of disturbances that began with Roe 2's letter may also have been said to have helped us to make up our minds.

We can't stay in the same place forever longer than time flies by.

Starting tomorrow, we have to make a new challenge.

Reese glanced at me from the aisle and said, "Are you here? Dear Siroe," he entered the hall surrounded by magic devices.

"This one seems to have turned out better."

"It never seemed like it was broken."

"I guess you did less damage because you pulled your enemies off. Good day, Commander."

"Thank you Mr. Reese for your help"

Siloe scratched her head and laughed. It's hard to understand how Akatsuki is nodding next door, but this girl from [D.D.] helped me. Siroe feels that the success of this offensive is due in large part to her putting together a back-line offensive formation and constantly directing the enemy's order of destruction. He's a top commander.

"The Roundtable Conference also had inquiries from all over the place about how it was happening. Why don't you go home once? It's still going to take a while to get the communication device running."

Reese gives me suggestions with her fingertips on her chin, with a thoughtful look on her face.

Surely you can't be in this ruin forever. It's time to instruct you to withdraw. Siroe looked over the hall thinking so.

Fortunately, more than half the members seem to be in this room. It is the task of the Commander until he returns home.

"... also... hello. Can anyone hear me? Hello?

But when I tried to speak to everyone, the magic device spewed out a different kind of meaningful audio. The ancient magic machines of the Alv era brought news from distant lands, like new adventures.

◆

At first the room was engulfed in a moment of silence because I suspected it was empty ears.

'... Niehao. Bonjour, Aloha. Moi! And Moikka!

In its tranquillity, the magic device repeated its blatant greeting. It's the voice of a cheerful young woman. No one responded. Because I was just testing a communications device and no one thought I'd get that response from anywhere.

"Calimera. Fujumbo...... Guten Turk...... Anything else...... markaziri?

"I hear you. Noise is terrible, but... what about you?

It was Siloe who regained his mind as soon as possible.

It was a response from a sense of purpose that one cannot remain silent as the head of the place, but there will be an unexpected response to that siloe's words.

"Hmm? That voice, maybe Shiro?

"Huh?"

Siloe, who was called his own name, solidified. Not so many people know Siloe's voice. Of course, many of Akiba's "adventurers" will know Shiloe, but Shiloe thinks that there are not thirty people who can follow him around with their voices alone. I mean, I know him. "Hey, your voice now?" "No way," he said, deafening the voice of his fellow interlocutors behind him, and Shiloe lurked his voice and spoke to Li-Gun.

"Where is it connected? Isn't that how you detect it? Like, just connected in the near field?

But to such a siloed question, Li-Gang shook his head as he shrugged. I didn't fail and I didn't do anything extra. That's the look. I'm not a kid who made a prank, so I don't think I'd be angry about that. Either way, it seems Li-Gun won't help.

Even if I knew Shiloe, I don't know anyone who calls Shiloe 'Shilo-kun' in the first place.

I don't like the way you call me that. In the world view of siloes, when it comes to siloes, they are indoor dogs. I don't hate it enough to be furious because they called me that, but I feel tickled and insulted. So there is only one woman (one) who calls Siloe 'Siloe'. And there's no way I can connect with that person.

'I knew it! Yahoo! Shiroku!

"Mr. Kanami!?

It couldn't have been connected.

"Long time no see! How have you been?

"It's not been a long time!

Siroe answered reflexively, feeling dizzy, darkening in front of her. It's anemia. I've never been but I think it must be anemia.

Why not? Shiloe doesn't like this guy. It can be said that it is a natural enemy. Enough to mention "she" (Kanami) if you ask me to think of someone I will never meet.

It's not that I don't like it. I don't want to avoid it.

I just don't like it.

I have respect, I feel benevolent, and I think he's a good man. Her brightness and charisma are the biggest elements of the Prodigal Tea Party's long standing participation in the Massive Combat (Reid) rankings, even though the DiBeauchery Tea Party is not an Alliance. It was also thanks to her that Siloe, who was nothing more than a shady Dr. Game, was able to taste the flavor of MMO of collaborating with his peers to attack content.

Though absurd and unattended, the Tea Party was partly due to being a festival lovers' gathering, and I don't think any of my companions hated it because of it.

That's why I just don't like siloes. There's this woman like a typhoon who's going to treat me like a disciple on something.

"Oh, did you hear that? I asked. Even Yamato! Good evening! Are you doing something funny? Like, enthusiastic!

"This is the Round Table Meeting. How do you know that? I mean, Mr. Kanami is retired, right?!? When did you get back, where are you!?

What the hell is this?

I answered with reflexes and Shiloe was a little depressed again. Siloe also has a conversation with her spinal nerve when she's the one who doesn't listen to anyone else at all. A conversation, or a scratch. Besides, Siloe's words are drained heavily because they are being recieved.

Isn't that one cluttered? I have also talked to my direct successor.

He's a mess. and though I was only to be weakened by being given an unsolvable response.

"Mr. Kanami, maybe you're on the moon."

The response I asked clerically after working tirelessly was, "It's a Chinese server."

'I'm on a journey, come on. I found the TV station. It seems to move, so I tried to touch it. Then I got connected. "

"I found it..."

Siloe suppresses the eyebrows.

I guess that means that Kanami returned to [Elder Tail] after travelling to Europe. "Elder Tail" was an MMORPG with players all over the world. Europe had two servers, North America, Japan and one of the most vibrant regions. I didn't think about the possibility at all, but I can understand that if I had changed every account, I would not have contacted you.

I wasn't sure if that was good news or vicious news, Siloe.

Matters concerning Kanami in the first place, where siloes are seldom clear. I don't want to know, I don't think I should know, I don't think I should know.

'Oh, yeah, yeah! Listen, listen! Shiro, my daughter, she's three years old!

"I know."

There's a lot of things I'd rather not know.

"Huh? Did you report it?

"No. But I heard"

"Sokaa."

Surprised to see Kanami in his face with his eyes round. She was a woman who put her hands on her hips, put her chest up, moved against her tender cheeks, and nodded like she was guessing everything, and didn't think anything of its fruit.

He's got a big mouth and he's the kind of guy who laughs all the time.

It's like a broken sense of distance. She often comes in on her earthfoot to Siloe's private, and she has formed a victim's meeting with her direct heirs.

Excellent behavior, and seeing you off didn't change that.

Kanami was always at his full strength, like he had an inexhaustible energy built into his body. That didn't change in the outside world or in the game. With its natural brightness and leadership, she was made to feel like the summer breeze was blowing all around her at all times.

It can be said that Siroe, whose parents were busy and had narrow friendships from childhood and had no experience playing in leisure facilities, gained the experience of "going out to play" thanks to her best friend direct succession and Kanami.

Answering her impotence like that is the "Tea Party" for Siloe, which is arguably the majority of the "Elder Tail" that Siloe has spent since middle school.

Count me in again, she's an annoying woman. It could even be described as devastating. Naturally, I don't like siloes. So much so that I don't want to know why I was so popular as a charisma leader.

Siloe dropped her gaze only slightly at her feet. I could see my own feet stepping on stone-style floors. My fist was gripped, but it wasn't tough or trembling. Breathe out small and Siroe decided to be ready.

"I'm sorry I couldn't celebrate...... Congratulations."

That's what Shiloe told Kanami.

Though I didn't think I'd actually have anything to tell you, I was passed on hundreds of practiced dialogues to Kanami in the usual tone as much as I could.

"My daughter, she's super cute already. Super awesome! Dawn clings to me with a suicide bomb attack with a rocket dash. It's that girl, the princess. Hey. '

She decided to leave the Tea Party because she was going to follow her married partner to study in Europe. Apart from the fact that it seems German, Siloe was not familiar with the other person's identity. It wasn't until after the Tea Party broke up that I learned that I was a physician affiliated with an international NGO, also known as Doctor of the World, that I was via KR.

Most of all, that doesn't mean I don't know. Immediately before the dissolution of the Tea Party, Kanami was also floating, so she was asked about shard information such as thick shin hairs, sashimi lovers, tear-eyed screaming machines at amusement parks, and good morning can only be called Oyohango Jamas. The happy Kanami was always more powerful and really annoying.

Inner pride is one of Kanami's personalities. Shiloe also knew she was talking about the [Tea Party] members all over the place. So I could also feel warm when they talked about my daughter.

If you think about it, there must be a lot of "adventurers" in a situation like Kanami.

It's like being separated from a young child. [Adventurer] Of course, separation from young families is not the only tragedy. There would be a majority of "adventurers" on the planet with hard-to-leave people like parents and brothers. Siloe thinks we have to find a clue for them as well.

Even Kanami must be traveling for it. Kanami is an annoying damned leader, but his daughter is not guilty. Siroe spoke with a miracle in her heart that happened the day she decided to make an effort to return.

"Really? - Then we have to go home. to the original world."

'... Huh? Why?'

"Huh?"

But Kanami broke the idea of Shiloe as lightly as usual.

"Shiro! You know, me! I want to show my daughter this world!

"... Huh?

Siloe could only react like an idiot by being taken lightly.

Over and over, no, I've thought about it hundreds of times, but what the hell is this guy? Doubts are swirling in my mind when I don't know what it means. I have no idea what you're thinking.

'No. Cerdesia is not amazing. Because the untapped earth is a great panorama! It's such a big, so beautiful, so amazing place, it's a big adventure to have a cup of your mother's friends and meet people from all over the world. I'd definitely let you be my daughter!

Kanami's voice was bright.

"Daughter, I like high places. Griffon, I want to give you a ride. I want to show you the Great Forest, the sea, the desert. If you're surprised, your eyes go round. I want to tell you that your world was born in a beautiful place!

But all I'm talking about is my daughter.

Kanami's love is real. She is not clever enough to lie or deceive in the first place. All that ironless and sideless people even seem to be watching and kidding because of their haha is Kanami's seriousness.

So Siloe understood.

Apparently, he's going to bring his daughter in for real.

Siloe felt inadvertently painful.

What I've been worried about has made me look silly. I felt like I could see Kanami's expression telling a dream story with an indefensible smile.

Trying to get away, Siloe figured you'd forgotten a little about her. If you listen to your voice again like this, Kanami is a few times more flirtatious than you can imagine. I knew it was a woman who didn't like siloes.

This one worries and hesitates, jumping over the problem like he suffered with a thoughtful plan not to do it. He was an angry hero.

"Monarch"

"Mr. Siloe?

I could laugh at Akatsuki and Minori looking up worried.

"Still, that's okay.... Though I gave up that I couldn't come out. Then."

- I'm greedy anyway. If you want, you don't want to go home or be buried in this world, make that choice...

You can.

That's what Kanami said, in short.

Don't choose one, choose both, and furthermore, I want that future. Siloe felt ridiculous when she was desperately telling herself that she was greedy. It seems even the "greatest ambition" Siroe wanted was small for Kanami. But if you have such a dream shape, you don't mind if Siloe gets it.

"Allow two things to come and go, Earth and Cerdesia"

In words, I found my surroundings teetering.

That's understandable. It's too much hope. Everyone has been reluctant to say how good it would be if I could do that.

Even if it could be achieved, the contact between the two worlds, Cerdesia, a planet with modern civilization and medieval science, Cerdesia, a planet and fantasy without magic technology, would have a great impact on each other's worlds. Maybe that will be on a ruinous scale.

But Siloe thought that was okay.

I'm not willing to ignore those dangers or participate in terrorism, but if the two worlds are in the process of coming into contact, it would be arrogant for the Siloe individual to try to keep pushing. If the two worlds are in a stream where they do not come into contact, the Siloe individual will not meet even if he tries.

At the stage of deciding where to go, cowardice and arrogance were unnecessary emotions. You don't have to be frightened by the possibility that you don't know exactly.

"Oh, is that possible!?

"I can do it."

Even such a reflection on the interplay between the two worlds is going to be Gdagda, spurred on by Kanami's words, which are so bright. But siloes like that also have company.

"Such irresponsibility!?

"I knew it was Kanami. Seriously, an unbeatable festival."

"That's amazing. This guy. I'd be surprised if I were an idol."

That's why Siloe was shrugging her shoulders and laughing. The scratch on Kanami is not just a game of punishment for one Shiloe now either.

'So, please. Shiro-kun! I'm scared!

"Quest's, is that a request?"

"Yes, that! Quest '

"... I can't"

My heart was clear because I hadn't laughed in a long time. With a teasing voice, the time elapsed in the siloe slowly leaves.

"Yep!? Shiro's gone mean. Ah!?

It's been a while.

The scab, which was creeping in my heart, I didn't even notice Shiloe herself, seemed to peel off and become beautiful.

Apparently, I'm no longer the siloe of The Prodigal Tea Party.

Such a sense of reality, with just a little loneliness and pride to go beyond, Siroe tasted it.

"Mr. Kanami. I made a guild. The Horizon of Records (Log Horizon). I've made friends and friends."

"Yeah?"

Siloe became the Siloe of the Horizon of Records. Minori staring worryingly, Akatsuki pinching the hem of the robe cloak, a direct line grinning slightly, Nyata narrowing her eyes, Toya not looking worried, Fifty Bells or Lundelhouse, even if she's riding badly, Siroe stares properly at such a companion. We got company.

That's why time flied.

"So I won't accept that kind of request."

"Yeah, yeah? '" We'll do the quest. - We'll be the first in the world to get that view. That's right, Mr. Kanami and, that's a battle. I don't have a choice. "

Siloe spoke across the magic device with a full return of interest to the joking light mouth. Siroe felt that the Tea Party was slowly ending so that it was washed with waves many times.

Perhaps Siloe was still wrong somewhere.

It was over and it wasn't over. It was such a wonderful day. The Tea Party of the Prodigal was a good place. In order to finalise that as a fact, what is done must be done. It's natural. But maybe Siroe wasn't able to do it well.

(There's hardly anything I can do well)

Siloe could afford to laugh small.

How strange. The past said goodbye to me the day I decided to move on to the future.

That wasn't hard. It was at least much calmer than the days when the Tea Party was dissolved, and full of quiet light.

Memories don't go away. Instead, now is the time for the past to turn into memories. It seemed like a secret blessing to Siloe, and I put it in my chest in a merciful way.

"I'm a rival now."

"Soka."

"But it's an old favor. If you make it, I can show you, okay? The Chinese server means you're on your way over here, right?

If I were to see her again, I wouldn't be as bad as I used to be. That's what Siloe thought, shook her head.

It's not that Kanami himself has repented or improved anything. I tried to consider if my troublemaker physique would have healed if I had a child, but I concluded that I would stop expecting it based on hopeful observations.

"Sasaru is everyone's bus guide. Klu-kun praises you. I'm not leaving a girl alone. '

"So stop joking like that - Mr. Crusty!?

From beside what I'm saying, Siloe feels dark and miserable. This is all the more so because in the back Reese repeats "Milord, Milord" along with screaming like he doesn't sound like a voice.

I'm still used to siloes and direct succession, but it's too irritating for the outsiders' reese. Kanami was still Kanami. For better or worse, it can only be described as a problem child of nature that attracts all the jokers. I wonder why Crusty's name comes up here.

'Yeah, yeah, I'm over here. He's dying. He's strong. "

"Mr. Crusty is on the Chinese server? I mean, Mr. Kanami, what are you involved in? On behalf of Mr. Crusty..."

Still, the words I desperately re-questioned were left butt-cut dragonflies.

"Wow... ah... you're not feeling well... gu... punch, kick... Yikes! I want to... '

The magic machine silenced and the unspeakable air flowed.

Siloe looks back disappointed and drops her shoulder.

Li-Gang shook his head to plead not guilty, his direct line held his head, and Chan Tai rarely missed his gaze. Nazna grinned softly, Souzillow grinned, and Reese fluttered as distracted.

Minori and Akatsuki, who were blown into something by Tora, said, "Because it's nothing. Because that's not what it is," explained Shiloe, declaring his return to Akiba to a noisy offensive force.

That was an unsettling end, but it was nevertheless also an irreplaceable end for Siloe. Just as all the ends were, there were already signs of a new beginning in them.

Siloe nodded and spoke to his companions. Not only in the Horizon of Records, but also in the city of Akiba, and in Adventurers, there was an inescapable season looming.

It was the season when the Siloes cut new horizons with their encounters - the night before the beginning of the Nouazphere.

Ep 10.
