Shinka no Mi

"Makoto"

"Hmm?"

After we all decided to return to the human world, my father stared at me with a serious look.

"I'll say one thing to Makoto. Don't do anything like this again."

"Huh?"

I leaned my neck against my father's words.

"Let's say, for example, that some people died satisfied with their lives, at all costs of Tensei. You think bringing that back to life is a good thing?

"It's..."

My father caresses me gently, stuck in words.

"There would be a word for blasphemy against the dead, wouldn't there? Makoto's actions are close to that. Of course, I don't even think Seiichi is crude about his life. But what you call life is something that runs out of nature. And the dead will never come back to life. Keep it in mind."

……

"Well, there are times when you still die without being able to do all of Tenshou. Sometimes illness and so on can be dealt with, and sometimes not, but I guess this is another guy called Destiny. But other than that... what do you think I should do if I get involved in an accident or incident and my loved one dies? Think and see as you remember your father's words."

This feels just like when Dad scolds me.

In my father's case, it wasn't the way he yelled at me, it was the way he made me think.

And in this case, you want to tell me not to bring it back to life.

Then...

"... to avoid an accident or incident?

"Right. That's the best way to prevent it. Okay, so what do we do to keep you from getting into accidents and incidents?

"Huh..."

I don't know about boulders.

Like, always be careful or something? Or like reading the air around you?

But no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to prevent incidents and accidents perfectly.

It was too vague to tell in the end.

Then, Dad ran out of clarity.

"What, it's easy. Makichi can protect you."

"Huh?"

"Dad couldn't, but if he was born into a man, he'd have to be able to protect his loved ones."

"... is that the answer?

Really, my father...

This is how I was able to work hard because I was the dads who would teach and guide me gently.

"I've said a lot, but what my father wanted to say sincerely is that 'death' is never a bad thing. Don't just take the impression of words, not just this, but make sure you think for yourself"

"... Yes"

When you're having such a conversation with your father, Zeanos approaches you.

"Makoto. This is probably the only time."

"Mr. Zeanos. What's that supposed to mean?

"I felt it and found out that apparently we were sensed by Makoto's body… the flesh as a living being, and our body as a dead being transformed into a living body and able to live again. This is like a rough business that could have been done because of the [underworld] where consciousness exists while the dead… Even if people died in the original world, they wouldn't be able to bring it back to life in the same way. If you die, your consciousness will travel to [the underworld] … it will be almost impossible to do the same thing again"

'... well... based on this case, I also tightened the restrictions on admission to the underworld... apparently I had an influence on Makichi too... now I can do things I couldn't do before... the restrictions on admission are one of them... it won't be possible for a non-dead person to knock through the transition magic or the gates that exist at the west end of the human world...'

The underworld also expressed its agreement with the words of Zeanos.

What am I to influence the underworld? I don't know anymore.

Anyway, I only found out that this was the case this time.

... Well, I knew my fathers were dead, and I understand you were saying it unscrupulous.

I knew there was no way the dead fathers could go home like me.

I just didn't want to admit that spending time with my fathers like this meant they were dead.

When I think about it calmly, I think he was calling for things that really didn't make sense...

But this is how I reunited with my fathers and they touched me... because I felt the warmth that I thought I would never feel again.

Also, while I can't do anything, that's just breaking up with my fathers in front of me too... I couldn't stand it.

I wish my body was the only one pushing in an unexpected direction... but only the mental aspect can grow at all. It's pathetic...

"Besides, I'm glad I came back to life."

"Oh, really?

Zeanos told me that he was purely happy to be back.

"Some people will think of it as blasphemy to the dead. But I wanted to live. I wanted to live.... with Marie here."

"Dear Zeanos..."

"I think both arrogant are the same. If it's arrogance to resurrect the dead, I also think it's arrogance to speak for the feelings of the dead. Well, it's my personal idea, so don't worry about it."

"Ha..."

My father and Zeanos are talking about something difficult, but I don't get it. Would you make it a little easier for me?... Oh, am I just stupid?

"Fair enough! Let's not talk hard! Look, Makichi, you've hardened up."

"That's what I'm finding out!?"

"Well, that was grand on your face."

No more. No more, me.

After laughing deceptively, I asked what bothered me about the underworld.

"With that said, you said you created the gatekeeper, but you were just guarding that gate?

'... no... I just created it... I'm just near Makichi...'

"Near me?

Turning back, there stood a statue of a rigid man in posing as a lat spread in a bodybuilding, seen in textbooks of Japanese history and elsewhere. When!? You're scared of your face, but you're posing funny!? And you're wearing a character! I've had enough of my muscle characters!

When I was surprised by the sudden appearance of the Golden Rigid statue, my fathers were glowing.

"Makoto, Makoto! It's a statue of a rigid man!

"Oh! Right! I didn't expect to be seen in a place like this, not on Earth."

"Photos! Let's take pictures!

"Well then, smartphone... sorry, I didn't have a smartphone if you say so..."

"I don't know...... Makichi! Don't you have a smartphone?

"Come here and feel like sightseeing!? No, I do!

Yes, I have it...... I want to tell you to stop fantasy breaking. It's about me.

However, because it's a smartphone that emerged with instant farm magic, camera features are on boulders......

"... There it is."

You ready? I'm surprised!

When she is surprised that there is a camera feature, her mother shrugs and tells her father.

"Here! Makoto, let's take a picture together!

"Oh. Seiichi, come too"

"Huh? Oh, yeah"

Can I do this? When I looked over at the Zeanos like that, they were looking at me with some raw warmth. Akan, I'm too embarrassed.

As I was blushing with shame, my fathers pulled my arm without a problem and made me stand between my father and my mother.

Then, Mother says in a gentle voice.

"... at some point, it got so big..."

"... right. You're bigger than your father already..."

Their gaze tickled again, and I said with a loud voice in the blindfold.

"Look, look! It's not good to keep the Zeanos waiting! I'll take it!"

"So is that."

The faces of my fathers come to my face.

I don't know because I've never taken a selfie, but manipulate it with unfamiliar hands...

"Laugh and laugh!

He's got a hard face.

I took one picture while my fathers told me that.

"Yes, cheese!

The moment I said that, for some reason, the statue of the Rigidus also smiled and came pictured with pieces behind us with both hands.

Hey, that's too much!? What happened to the majesty of the gatekeeper!?

The statue of the rigid man returns to the same posing as if nothing had happened again when he finished taking the picture.

"Seiichi, did you get it?

"Huh? Ah..."

Before I say anything, they take a smartphone, and the fathers check the pictures.

No, I'd be surprised if that tough golden rigid statue was just piecing.

"Yeah, that's a good picture!

"Right. The Golden Rigid statue looks like fun too!

"I'm not surprised!

I rather accept it as a matter of course! Those are my fathers! I can't do this! Well, I knew it at the time you said we were going to take pictures in a tourist mood!

When I was surprised at how the same fathers were flying, the underworld called out.

'... are you sure...?

"Oh, hi. I'm sorry."

'... No... Never mind... Well, I've never seen you take pictures in the underworld before...'

That's right. It's too bad for a tourist destination. He's dead.

'… Now it is time to transfer you to the human world… The place to transfer will be the place where Makoto was before he came here…'

In other words, will it be the arena of the Barbados School of Magic?

... That's exactly what happened, and no one will be in the arena, so wouldn't you be surprised if we showed up all of a sudden?

"Okay, I get it."

'… Now we will begin the metastasis… Sincerely… Thank you very much for this…'

"... this way, thank you"

At our feet, the magic of metastasis unfolds.

And finally, here's what the underworld did.

'... bless your future... and come visit me...'

"The underworld is not such an easy place to come and visit!?"

At the end of the day, I was invited to transfer with my fathers.

◆ ◇ ◆

"... back... are you here...?

After the transfer magic was activated, it definitely jumped into my sight at the Barbados School of Magic Arena.

"You're back..."

Naturally, but there's still no one in the arena.

"... there was still an incredible part of me deep down... we seem to have really come back to life..."

When I heard Zeanos' voice, which was undergoing a great surprise, and turned my face in that direction, Zeanos as well as his fathers reacted in the same way.

And Mr. Naturiana suddenly cried out.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

"Mr. Naturiana!? What's wrong!?"

We rush over to Mr. Naturiana.

Ms. Naturiana mouthed whimpering as Liliana stroked her back.

"Wow... I... regretted it..."

"Huh?"

"... leave your loved one... it was also killed in front of that person..."

Mr. Naturiana has no direct ties to anyone on this occasion.

And yet, being with the Zeanos in this way would have been somewhere with me, not least.

But what kind of edge... I still didn't know.

I don't even know how he died......

"With someone who had given up on not seeing me anymore... if you really thought you had a chance to see me again... me..."

"Really..."

Anna said in a gentle tone that Liliana continued to stroke Naturiana's back.

"Don't worry. We are not people of this age... so we will work with you until we meet that loved one of yours. Right?"

"Of course! That would be nice"

"Yes, yes. Aren't you one of them who came back from the same underworld? It stinks."

Abel and Garth say the same to Mr. Naturiana.

Right. I forgot, not only the Abels, but the Zeanos are not human beings of this era.

To my fathers, I'm not even a person in this world...

When I think about it, my father opens his mouth.

"Makoto"

"Hmm?"

"Don't worry about the fathers."

"Huh?"

I can only be dismayed by your father's words.

Then Dad ignored me like that and went on.

"The fathers do not stand in Makoto's way. Do as you please."

"Whatever you want... what do the fathers do?

As far as I'm concerned, I'd love to have my fathers by my side.

Then, this time, my mother told me.

"We'll just relax somewhere. Mom, I wanted to try my own vegetable garden or something."

Mother says that at my pace as usual.

"Relax... where are you going to live?"

"Come on? Makichi, don't you know a good place?

"After all, I beg you!? No, the Zeanos are more familiar..."

"It's not what it was in my time. Besides, if I knew such a good place, I wouldn't have seen it like that in my life."

I had to shut up about words that were too convincing.

No, even if they say it's a good place......

That's all I thought about, and I had one place in mind.

"... there was"

"Oh, where is that?

"Of the kingdom of Wimberg, in a place called Terber, the king's capital.... this is where they threw me out into this world and warmly welcomed me into nothing."

It's my second home.

Honestly, it's hard to recommend because both perverts are spreading.

"Really? If Makichi wants to thank you, I have to thank you."

"Right."

That's what my father and mother said and laughed frankly.

"... but this world is dangerous, isn't it? Yet I can't believe I'm leaving my fathers..."

The only reason I don't want to leave my fathers is because this world is so dangerous and neighboring that it can't compare to Earth. Of course, Japan isn't entirely safe either.

When I was worried about him, Zeanos told me to reassure him.

"Makoto. Can I take care of your parents?

"Huh?"

"Right. I'll take care of your parents, so don't worry."

"Me too... protect... your family..."

Plus, that's what Mr. Lucius and I even said about the crate.

No, when we get that far, we're overpowered this time, right? Which VIP guard is the First Demon King and the Master of the Brave escort? I'm not sure about the chest.

Zeanos explained to me that his face was unwittingly drawn.

"As I said earlier, we are not people of this age. That's why you have to work."

"Work?"

"Yes, we are - unemployed"

"Ah."

That's right.

Zeanos may have been a duke in his life, but now that he has been betrayed by his country and even that country is doomed, Zeanos is no different from unemployed.

"I'm unemployed too."

"Oh, so are we"

"Right."

"Right."

"What shall we do?

Aren't all of us here unemployed...!

What about brave men and demon kings who are unemployed!? The world is bad!

With that in mind, I strained my chest as if the chest would boast.

"Me... Crate. This is my job. You guys...... unemployed"

"Gaha!?"

In the words of the treasure chest, the fathers and everyone but Mr. Naturiana suppressed their breasts. That's a critical hit......

Zeanos, who took unexpected damage, suggested to everyone that he regain his mind.

"Ugh, um. What do you think? We're all moving to Terveil."

"Oh, isn't that good? You just have to base yourself there to find someone important to you."

"If Naturiana's okay with that, we're not complaining, are we?

"Oh. There 'll be guilds too, so I hope you register there and make some money"

"Right. Isn't that the quickest thing you can do?

"If you're here, you won't have a hard time being an adventurer."

Sorry, Mr. Lanze.

Sounds like some hell of a mentor lives in your country. I recommended it.

When I accidentally looked away, my mother looked at me with a tender look.

"Look, Makichi. We'll be fine. I'll work with you."

"Ugh, yeah."

"Besides, don't you have a loved one?

"Huh?"

Did I tell you that?

To my mother's words, it was the moment I thought so.

"Makoto!"

It shouldn't be that long ago, but a voice I feel terribly nostalgic for.

Just hearing that voice makes me smile... it was the voice of my loved one.

Turning to the voice, there was Salia with tears in her eyes but a smile.

As I stared at Salia, Salia ran over to me and jumped straight into her chest.

"Welcome back, Makichi!

"Whoa!?"

All of a sudden, surprised, I hold Salia tight.

"Salia?"

"... because I believed you'd be okay... but still, I'm glad you're home safe"

Sarya smiled when she looked up at me.

Seeing that smile, I held Salia back tight.

"I'm home, Salia"

"Yeah! Welcome back!

Me and Salia had a hug on the spot.

"Oh, this evening's red rice!

Makoto's grown up.

- I totally forgot my fathers.
