Usotsuki Senki, Meikyu wo Yuku

- Day 8

Today is my last day diving into the labyrinth with Kasumi.

I miss you, but I have no choice. It's Kasumi's path. It is strange for me to object.

The goal is to divide up to seventy tiers. He took Tegre and Chicka, as well as a collared ace, to explore.

Then only the five of us at the party had a small banquet.

Spare the retirement of party leader Kasumi's adventurer run and at the same time celebrate the way ahead. After that launch, I heard about Kasumi moving out.

"Huh..."

I'm stunned by what I didn't hear, and the story moves on.

"Heh. Kasumi, we're moving out of the dorm. Where?"

"Yeah. I bought it because I had a house with a big garden in the suburbs."

"Yes!? I bought a house. You got it all figured out."

"Huh, sort of."

Recently, a tightly tamed collar and chain, Eis nods as impressed. Our party was so advanced that we could earn different digits. The clan is also famous thanks to Mr. Lildor. So you can buy a house, too.

But I didn't hear that.

In contrast to my silent self, Tegre and Chicka squeak smudgingly.

"The garden... you want to experiment with the prototype. Finally, they kicked me out of my dorm."

"I think we've been going too far. It's loud, and lately, it's exploding."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I have no objection to whether I was conscious or not, even while I was blurry.

"Surely Kasumi's noise is pretty bad when it's in the next room. When I was in Utena's room, the noise during the day was fine."

"Nothing... I..."

I didn't hate that noise either.

Anyway, I have no taste. I'm the only one who always has to be secluded. So much so that I think Kasumi will do his best.

It was just as good as loud.

"Ma, that's the thing. I finally got about ten days off. You can move in and put it into your hobby, so it's not bad, is it?"

……

Don't you miss Kasumi?

Back off, change to where you live, and you'll have a very different life.

How can you speak so brightly?

"I'll be busy after vacation, so I don't have time to miss you."

... Oh well.

"Hey Kasumi. Can you take this off? I think we should stop joking."

"Oh, that? It lasted longer, but my smelt disappeared after a while."

"... you're joking about staying like this until you disappear on your own!?

"Haha, I'm kidding. It's time to take it off."

"No."

Interrupt into the conversation between the two of them and cage their strength in their hands grabbing the chain that leads them all the way to the collar of Ace.

I lay down my face at what is wrong and at the strange gaze that gathers.

"Ace, because he runs..."

Yes. If I let go of my eyes, if I let go of my hand, I'll be gone.

I don't like that.

Besides, it's my job to keep an eye on Jesus so he doesn't run away in the first place.

Kasumi and Eis looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"Ace. Stay put for a while."

"Ugh... well, I can't help it"

"Utena is surprisingly something like that."

"Really, it's a surprise, isn't it?"

... Ugh.

- Day 9

Instead of Kasumi, a new party member entered, not that.

The three of them were set to join the party when they were set to enter the "Infinite Light (No Limit Glow)" from "The Path of Glory (Gloria Road)".

Coronel just chose, and his strength is certain. It's impeccable in personality. There are just a few parties for seven. For that reason, it was decided to split the party in two.

The division is simply between men and women. Tegre, Chicka and the new pair. The other set is me, Ace and the new member girl.

His name is Nina Fan.

A girl who uses stilettos, what to hide, she is also a thriving opponent in pet talks.

"Mr. Utena is the leader, isn't he? Nice to meet you"

Courteously lowering his head, Nina fans were somewhat motivated.

Then he holds it in my hand and turns his indescribable gaze on the chain that leads to the collar of Jesus.

"So, I've been wondering about that chain before...?

Oh, this?

During the Punishment Game.

"Is that so………?

"No, I'm not... I'm not wrong though, but I'm deep in this... now, Utena is mentally unstable... hey!? Don't drag me too far!

Ace was defending himself somehow, but we're leaving.

Well, aside from that, I'm taking Pea to the labyrinth. It's a new party. The number of people also changed. The exploration took place around the sixty tiers we could afford, with a focus on understanding each other's methods of warfare and scum.

When we fought together that way, Nina fans' appreciation of the collared ace changed.

"Sh, wow...... collaboration using connected chains. I never even thought about it......!

Ninafan's face, whose chain-looking eyes were suspicious itself, gradually switches to convincing and even emotional as he continues his search.

That's right. This is just a form of reasonableness. So I'm honestly still not convinced that I was given two names. Undo it.

"Oh well. What was missing from me was this kind of novelty...! We have to learn!

"Because you don't have to learn! You don't have to be convinced. No matter what anyone thinks, this condition is strange!

Pea's chirping was a little loud.

That's how I get back to my room after successfully completing my exploration. Kasumi apparently finished his move in the middle of the day. There was no sign of anyone in the next room.

Of course, I don't hear any noise.

…… lonely.

To distract the loneliness, I'll stroke Pea's head around. All right, all right, you did a great job in the labyrinth today. I commend you.

"Hey. My treatment is getting worse, I mean, no. I'm polite, but I feel like that politeness isn't meant for humans, it really feels like it's meant for pets... I'm not losing something called caring for humans...?

Hmm. This pet would be excellent if he didn't talk......

Somehow, I know perfectly well that pets don't need humanity. There are things that people can't do, things that they can't talk about. Pets are the ones who can bump that, and normal intelligence is a bit...... I hope I at least have to speak human language.

That's what pets are for. It was a heartfelt day.

-Day 10

I also dived into the labyrinth at a new party today.

Nina fans were excellent.

Personal strength is impeccable, and I can look around. Besides, he's a hard worker. Highly uplifting. There is still an increase in the width of the person. Collaboration might have been easier than Kasumi's.

In fact, the search efficiency is rather higher even though the number of people has decreased.

Ours will be a good party. Maybe we can do it beyond seventy-seven hierarchies. I hate myself for thinking that. I hate me for being able to judge you like that.

"…… Utena. If you're depressed, why don't you talk to me? Because we were friends before we were buddies! So come on, let's get you out of here and talk to each other with the same eyes!

An ace in a birdcage complains about that.

I look up at the face of Jesus with no strength.

Friends...... but my friends are gone. They're gone, like Ka ● ●.

No. I'm not. I know. It is at my discretion to think so. I don't care if you say we're friends, we're alone. No one has ever been born for me. There is no such thing as a human being raised for me. So your emotions are selfish right now. It's child crap that can't even take into account their circumstances when they're gone. I know that. I know, and yet!

When I was falling into self-loathing, there was a noise next door. What if Kasumi forgot something? I think so and head to the next room.

"Ah, Mr. Utena"

I was a Nina fan.

Kasumi said Nina fans moved in instead after she moved out already. Party members lost sight of the fact that it was dormitory policy in a nearby room.

"I'll be next door from today. Thanks for your continued support."

With an innocent smile, Nina Fan lowers her head.

Nina Fan is nothing wrong. It's not bad. I also forced myself to laugh and squeeze out the words to say hello.

Help Nina Fan move as she is and cheer up with her pet talk.

"The good thing about pets is that they're always there for you, right? I would never betray you."

... Exactly.

Pets don't betray people. I can't betray you. Because that's how they ask me to do it.

Unlike people, I don't even let them expect it on their own.

"I know that's what we call human selfishness, but it's still cute."

... Nina Fan had a good understanding of her pet.

No matter how much you love them, pets and their owners have a one-sided relationship. Pets are required to be pet-like. There is no way that the side to be kept can be on par with the side to be kept. Because being reciprocal means being free on the other side means you can always betray this one.

No matter how beautiful it is to fix it, people don't ask their pets for that.

I have affection. I have attachments. However, pets should be in a position to do as the owner pleases. Pets have no choice but to accept and live without a mouth that can disprove the selfish affection of their owners. That's essentially what pets are.

... I don't like being betrayed anymore because I'm gone on my own.

When I returned to my room, for some reason Pea tried to escape by chattering his bird basket in a desperate shape.

What's wrong, Ace?

I smiled gently and asked.

"Yikes, no, feel something ever so nasty chills...... hey Utena...... what's the cloth in that hand for?!?

I broke into the birdcage with "Fog (Run)". Tie your mouth with a cloth quickly.

Now Pea stopped talking. Give me your arm... no. I'm patting my feathers. A jittery pea, but you'll get used to it within.

Well, this is what I should have done from the start.

Seeing Pea squeaking, my heart was at rest.

My friends are gone. I always thought you'd stay with me. Even the ● s ● did. Even more so is Ace.

But I can leave my pets behind for a long time.

I will not allow you to escape or be gone. I can't do it with Ace, but with Pi, I can.

-Day eleven

Today is the day of rest. Let's get some rest.

Nina fans invited me out to the city with them, but politely refused. I have business to attend to today.

I'm not a hobbyist, it was a long time ago. I have a pet. I'm going to focus on caring for my pet today.

"Mmm! Mm-hmm! Mm-hmm!

Heh. It's ringing a lot.

Cute. I'll just 'cloud' my arms and fly, okay, I'll stroke your head.

I wore some partial 'clouding' to stroke Pea's head over the bird basket. Thanks to this, I can fly my arms remotely without worrying about some obstacles or anything.

"Mmm-hmm!

Pea was fine today.

-Day fourteen

I feel like Pea in the birdcage is loose.

What is wrong with it? The past few days have been very cute... but should I have gone outside once in a while?

But Pea often tries to escape... so I'm still anxious to get her out there. We need to grow up.

Hey, Pea. It's been a while.

"Mmm!

Hehe, I think you're feeling a little better. After all, maybe we should talk about it.

I left Pea in the birdcage to explore.

It's a pair of explorations with Nina fans. Sakukukukuku explored and already broke through the seventy tiers. When we have so much time with S...

"Speaking of which, what has happened to Mr. Ace lately?

…… come on.

I haven't seen Ace either. That kid, he's got a runaway habit, so he's gone on his own every now and then.

"Hmm? Really?

That's right. I don't care about Ace or the most important thing in the world.

Why don't we have a pet talk instead?

"Haha. Talking about Pee again? Mr. Utena, you take care of Pea."

The search went well.

-Day XV

For some reason, he was invited by those who called him a nobleman's use.

He heard rumors about me and Pea and was eager to see them at first sight.

I received an invitation from the user and became alert.

When it comes to nobility, I have the image of trying to force it away when I see it as unusual. Pea is my precious pet. How much money did they pile up, I don't intend to give in.

Nevertheless, I'm a proud pet. I also feel like bragging a little bit. I decided to ask Mr. Lildor what the other person was like, the same nobility.

"An invitation from Count Yury? That's a rare person who is a woman and has succeeded her contemporary days. I don't hear any unusually bad reviews. I'm sure he's a collector of rare species, and I hear he's a little different, but that's about it."

When I heard that he was apparently a compatriot walking the breeding path as well, I decided to accept the invitation.

The rumored Count Yury was somehow dismayed to learn that I had visited alone.

"What is it, alone? My heart danced like never before when I heard that a lactating girl had a girl with big tits..."

Isn't it just a pervert?

I looked inside at the first voice, unlike the rumors I heard from Mr. Lildor.

"Well, I can't help it. It's a mistake to think that you're coming with me, of course. It's because of this, and why don't you let me talk to you for a second? I was hoping to hear about Miss Lildor."

He was just a pervert, but he was a pretty good talker when it comes to breeding paths.

-Day XVI

If you think you got a homosexual, you're quite shocked that he was a pervert.

That was just a pervert, but I could get a lot of information.

Unfortunately he said that he had never had a human being because it was against the law and ethics, but I had never had a human being either. Pea is a bird. The pet talk heated up as it was, and I left it with my dinner companion for the night.

As such, he went home and opened the door with a sense of willingness to try out the information he had purchased.

The birdcage disappeared.

Of course, Pea.

Stunning, I immediately thought of a reason. Yes, it was. The magical effect of ● ● was about fifteen days.

I ran away. My Pea is gone.

Despair crawls to my heart. I almost screwed up my mind, but no, I think back.

If they escape, you can bring them back.

Pi tries to escape to a safe place. But on the other hand, I'm cowardly. I don't have the guts to run off to my strange land. I have a scumbag that finds a safe area where I found out.

Then I turned to Mr. Lildor, saying that Pea had one way to escape.

Mr. Pea was in Mr. Lildor's room. I try to hide from both Coronel and Mr. Lildor. Nina fans were also present in the room.

Mr. Lildor turned a bewildered glance at me for following Pea's whereabouts.

"Utena... I've complained to you that Ace treats you like, uh... somehow, trampled on human dignity..."

"Give it back."

"What?"

Mr. Lildor is confused, but my pi is hiding behind the back of the clanmaster.

"Give it back... give me Pee, give it back"

"Pi......? Uh, you're not talking about Hee, are you?

Coronel asks me weird things. What are you talking about? Pea is Pea and nothing but Pea. The name does resemble Heeko a bit, but it has nothing to do with it in particular. My pretty pet.

That's what Mr. Lildor thinks. It was Mr. Lildor who brought the story in the first place when Why? Will Mr. Lildor wind up whatever is dear to me?

I will never forgive that.

I raise my pneumonia.

"If you're going to take it from me to Pea, even though it's a clanmaster... I won't forgive you"

Quietly, but with firm determination, find someone.

Mr. Lildor remained silent for a while and face-to-face with Coronel, but eventually turns his gaze to Nina Fan and Pea.

"Why did you leave Utena alone until this happened, Ace, Nina Fan?

"I am the victim!?

"I never dreamed it was this far!

She seems to be doing something, but she still doesn't seem to give it back to me.

I just have to do it now.

I come to my belly. The opponents are Mr. Lildor, Coronel and Nina fans. Strong enemy. Especially Mr. Lildor and Coronel. But so what?

"Wait, Pea. Because I'll take it back soon!

"What are you talking about, Utena! I don't like it!?

The battle, which you will never lose, has now begun.
