Monster no Goshujin-sama

Fifty-six.

The black monster reacted to my call.

I crawled over here when I slipped.

It was an honest reaction.

Perhaps I could just say obedient.

It looked different, but the crawling motion made me think of Lily a little.

Lily is also a giant in nature, but this one is even bigger.

Sometimes the shades were creepy and intimidating.

More importantly, it was leaking horrible, dark signs of magic.

... To be honest, it was a level I had never seen before, even for metastasizers.

It's a monster.

No wonder I heard you kicked the Harrisons in the ass with this.

It's just that with such a dangerous presence approaching, I didn't feel terrified.

Because I didn't feel dangerous.

There were no signs of the monster launching an attack, nor fine dust.

It was quiet now, even though it caused all this misery.

"... oh"

You should be relieved, but springing up in your chest was a sense of loss.

"I knew you were Kato."

Though approaching, the monster takes no further reactions.

Just nearby.

Now, the tentacles that swayed loosely around him felt a lack of alarm.

If the monster himself or anyone who tries to harm me shows up, he must be relentless and fierce.

In fact, the Harrisons were destroyed.

Given my earlier obedience, perhaps, if I move, you will follow and protect me, and if it is a simple order, I may obey.

With this monster, safety in this space was like guaranteed.

Even after we get out of here, I guess.

You must protect me from all dangers.

Or it could even have been possible to confront that expedition.

If you see it as an escort, it would be the best.

This is just something close by and just to protect me.

For some kind of people, maybe it's great.

... but it was completely different for me.

It was not to be accepted at all.

I can't think of losing her.

I spinned the words with my trembling lips.

"Come back, Kato."

She can't get back on track any more than she's losing her reason.

Then I'll have to ask you to regain your reason.

There was no other means for this than to call.

"Wake up, please"

I called the monster from the front.

The monster was just standing there.

"Mr. Kato."

I reached out and touched the monster's surface.

The monster was just standing there.

"... Kato"

Touching, I called.

Many times.

Many times.

I called.

The monster is just standing there...

"... Kato,"

Naturally, I never got a voice.

It was something I knew.

Mr. Kato is not in a position to respond to the call.

Still hanging on to a desire, I flew to this place.

I couldn't help but do so.

The result was this.

Just how much I thought, miracles don't happen.

I knew.

If there is a miracle in this world, neither me nor Kato have seen it during the collapse of the colony.

There's no such thing as a miracle in this world.

There's just reality.

But still... I couldn't just give up.

"Sir."

It was Salvia who spoke up.

Unlike the Kanahiko, she was able to follow me.

"Summer......"

Of course, that was the same for Asalina.

He came out of his forehead and back of his hand, sounding carefree.

Salvia alternated, turning her painful gaze toward the monster and me.

"What about Kato?

"You seem to be losing your mind."

I answered, indulging in a feeling of powerlessness about to poke my knee.

If I poked him in the knee, I felt like it was really going to end there.

If you completely lose your reason and your mind dies, a monster with immense power becomes a grave mark for the girl.

If you poke your knees in front of the grave and mourn and grieve, that's really like admitting the end.

That's why I eat my teeth off.

I won't give up.

But I no longer have the means to take it...

"Can't you get a voice?

"... I couldn't. It's hard to tell because it's quiet, but I think the condition is similar to when Siran became an undead monster at Fort Chile"

"Same as Mr. Silan..."

Salvia snapped small.

"So, can't you do it the same way Mr. Silan did?

I'll ask.

In the voice color, a faint hope appeared.

"Why don't you connect your passes and pull your heart out, like when Mr. Silan did?

It was an incident during the raid on Fort Chile.

I once regained Siran's mind by connecting the paths that made him an undead monster.

If you can do the same, you can undo it.

Salvia is right.

... if you can do the same, though.

I can't do that.

I answered, groaning.

"Silan had become an undead monster, but not Mr. Kato"

"No?"

"It's a monster, but it's not a monster. Though his figure is changing, he's only human. It's just like" The Mad Beast "or" The Dragon Man. "

I couldn't connect my pass with the Mad Beast.

I've never met him, but I don't think I can even connect him with the Dragon Man.

If you can't, Kato was the same.

"My ability is only to connect my mind with monsters. Humans... Kato is not the target"

So you can't save her - I didn't put it in my mouth.

I haven't given up yet. I won't give up.

However, I am not willing to come up with an effective method.

If it doesn't arrive, if it's not enough, I'll do whatever it takes.

But if you don't have the arms to reach your purpose in the first place, what should you do...

"Sir."

Be aware of the impoverished progress.

We can no longer even afford to respond to Salvia's call.

I've been fighting for it without giving up, and this is it at the end.

In front of me, a brutal reality was blocked.

There was nothing I could do about it.

Always was, yes.

There is nothing I can do about this enemy of reality alone.

So...

"Sir!

- We needed the presence of colleagues who could work hand in hand.

Along with the call, Salvia's hand has reached this way.

I get my cheeks pinched with both hands and I can draw them all the way.

There, there were sincere eyes.

"Sa, Salvia?

"Still..."

Salvia glanced into my eyes and said:

"Still, I think I can."

"Salvia......"

"My husband and I are talking about Mr. Vegetables. If it were you, I'd be able to connect my heart."

I assure you.

It was a baseless word.

However, when it comes to cod outright, it wasn't.

What did not make her think so was included in the words she uttered.

Or maybe that was intuitive.

I don't understand it with my head, I grasp it with my senses.

Even if the rationale cannot be linguised, there is certainty.

Never cod.

Because once Salvia swallowed me into her world.

It's just a miraculous magical world to make a wish come true.

Naturally, for this reason her world is equipped with the 'power to read wishes'.

And wishing is what directly connects to the power of the metastatic.

Plus, as a contractor, she's been watching over me the whole time.

That's why I must have told her with certainty.

"My husband can do it."

Hands off my cheeks.

And I turned again unto the monster, that I might be guided.

Reach out and focus on the feeling that only you have.

And I noticed.

"This is..."

It can't be a miracle.

"- Mistakes, it may be possible. I'm talking about possibilities."

The boy's voice echoed in the vast space.

It was a space with Kudo Lu and his subordinates, Kanahiko Tsuki.

"As you know, our ability to move is based on hope. To that end, you are really affected by unconscious areas. Complexes, assumptions, mistakes."

Kanahiko Tachigi had been given first aid by Dora's hand.

In the meantime, Kudo Lu opened his mouth in a normal way.

"Yes, a mistake. So 'Being properly aware of what you want' becomes important. If you make a mistake there, you will never be able to fully demonstrate your abilities"

"... what's wrong with that?"

"No. Then I had my doubts. I wonder what Senior Mashima's wish was."

"Takahiro's wish?

Kanahiko Tachigi frowned.

That's about it, because I felt like I had been asked the obvious.

"... it's about living this world with the Lillies. That's why he's been working so hard."

But Kudo Lu shook his head sideways.

"No. No. That's true in itself, but that's not what I'm talking about. What was the desire to express your abilities?"

"Hmm? Hmm?... Oh"

Kanahiko Tachigi seemed to arrive at an understanding after a little confusion.

"And the chronology is different."

It was only after Takahiro Mashima expressed his abilities that Lily and the others gained an important presence.

The desire to live with them was born after that.

The desire to gain something is different from the desire to protect what has been gained.

What Kudo Lu is asking is the former - it was a more fundamental part.

"What did he want when he expressed his abilities?"

"Yeah. I think that depends. It's possible."

Kanahiko Tachigi frowned at the younger boy who nodded.

"... you, why didn't you tell him that?

"It's only possible," he said.

Kudo Lu shrugged his shoulder.

"Besides, if you just noticed, it won't be that easy. Presumption is not something that can be so easily overridden. I know that better than anyone."

Show a self-derisive look.

Demon King's wound. Berta lowered her eyes softly.

"It would be more deeply wounded if it was possible but not possible than if it wasn't possible from the beginning. Soon enough, it breaks."

I guess that's also because of one care.

Nevertheless, that was also a late story as of now.

"Whatever, seniors are gone. It takes time to chase. Before you do that, here's what you need to do."

"Things to do?

Nodding back, Kudo Lu turned his gaze away only once.

"If this happens, I can't stop you. I hope you can get what you want back, seniors."

That was a really fine connection.

Without Salvia's words, you wouldn't have even noticed.

But it is true that a connection was created.

Between me and Kato.

"Why...?

I thought it was impossible.

But it was what was actually happening.

It follows that recognition was more wrong than it was.

"I was wrong about my abilities...?

Speaking of which, I might never have thought about it.

I don't know what my abilities are.

Because that was too obvious, and it wasn't something to think about now.

But more than this had happened, it was necessary to reconsider.

I'll sort it out first.

I am The One Who Leads the Monster.

The path has the power to connect the monster with the mind.

Some special monsters originally had what should also be called a heart bud, where a path connects can encourage a bud and 'give the monster a heart'.

As a result, if the monsters that have become my relatives can help me - it's only up to them - to 'lead the monsters'.

It's just that 'giving a monster a heart' or 'leading a monster' is a phenomenon that was caused as a result.

The essence of ability lies in the 'power to connect the mind with the monster'.

... and I thought.

If there's been a mistake, it's this essential part.

The essence of competence.

That may be said, that is, the manifestation of a wish.

Suppose I was mistaken there......

"... what did I wish for?

Of course, I remember.

That's because it's my beginning.

I escaped the colony and arrived, in that cave.

Betrayed, trampled, tormented, dying.

Desperate that humans are full of crumbs, even so.

-... Somebody help me.

Still, I wished.

No one can believe it, but they still want someone to be beside them, they want to believe someone.

"... ah"

At that time, Lily responded unexpectedly.

By chance, it was the monster who was able to connect my mind.

Besides, it was impossible to open my heart because I was no longer able to believe in humans.

So what if I was making a mistake?

The power to connect the mind with the monster is only one aspect of ability.

The ability to connect your mind with someone who will be beside you without choosing a subject.

If that was the true appearance of Takahiro Mashima's gained power...

"... do I connect my heart with humans?

The words thus uttered showed plausibility and perplexity.

'Cause now.

Even if I have only used my abilities so far in a limited way, my abilities have become 'the power to connect the mind with the monster' more than I have always imagined.

That's how I recognize it.

And it is precisely in that unconscious realm that the power of the metastasizer is greatly affected by the structure.

Anyway, if you've dealt with your abilities appropriately so far, my abilities are a bond with the Lillies that matter to me.

Unconscious perceptions have become strong only because of what we have cherished so far.

Overshadowing this is terribly difficult, at least at the moment.

If you do something worse than that, it's even possible you won't be able to keep your current abilities.

I am only capable of connecting my heart with monsters.

It doesn't change there.

"But..."

I turned to the black giant in front of me.

Only this time, it's an exception.

Yeah, Salvia was definitely right.

- Still, I think I can.

- I'm talking about your husband and Mr. Vegetables. If it were you, I'd be able to connect your hearts.

As the word goes, there was already a connection.

Of course, this is not a miracle or anything.

There's nothing like that in this world.

So this isn't like that.

She has become special to me, even if she is not a family member.

It doesn't matter if you're a human or a monster, because you've deepened your bond so far, this connection was possible.

I think it's the time I've built up and the bonds I've grown that make even miracles cross.

Because it felt that way, even the unconscious assumption is overridden, and what connects the two certainly increases their presence.

The connection became a path that guided me to her lost heart.
