TL-note: Kushitani Asaka’s point of view. (The Female Reincarnate that turned Adventurer)
“eh??“
All of the sudden, A Man clad in a Black Armor Suit appeared, and broke Wakaba’s Head.
As if that alone was unsatisfying, The Man also vanished, including Wakaba. In the moment that that man disappeared, a different Scene could be seen in the Background. I think I head a rumor that that is the space magic “Transfer”. With Space magic being rare, I have not seen it of course, so that is only a Speculation. Not that I care about that. In this moment, I should worry about Wakaba’s wellbeing. “eh? Eh?” Beside me, Sensei’s is also shocked. From a third persons perspective it would probably seem like I have the same reaction as Sensei. It just happened so abruptly. Why Wakaba? Who was this Man? Where did he and Wakaba go? Is Wakaba Safe? I have so much to think about, I cannot keep my thoughts straight. Just after they were in Chaos, because of the divine Voice. a- anyways, we must act. but what would be the right one?? “…Sensei, that book over there” When I let my Eyes wander, the first thing I saw the book Wakaba gave to Sensei. When we heard the divine Voice, immediately afterwards, the man attacked Wakaba. Because of the timing, I think that should not be unrelated. So, I was wondering about the Divine Voice and the book Sensei was being handed to, after questioning Wakaba.
Surely this book will have a hint to break through this situation. It may just be wishful thinking, but I could not think of a better way to deal with the situation right now.
“Lend me the book please” (Asako)
“ah, sure”
Answers Sensei still being in a Daze, she does not seem to have fully recovered just yet. That is why she gave it to me so easily. I am Opening the Book to go through the contents. I am not saying I am able to speed read, but with applying Thought acceleration at maximum, I can do basically the same thing. I am the type who likes to read the whole thing carefully, but in this situation, it is sadly not possible. When i read the book, maybe the current situation can be changed.
“…It can’t be true”
However, despite my hopes, there was nothing in this book to break the status quo. Rather, more outrageous problems are being pointed out. However, why was Wakaba attacked by this man? I think I know why. “Sensei. In any case, lets collect everyone down.”
This is a problem I cannot handle myself. We need the Input of the rest of the Reincarnates after gathering them. Not that we can do anything about it, but we need to collect everyone’s Opinion. Also, they say this world is dying, and to save it there are 2 choices presented. Both of those choices require big Sacrifices though.
To save the world is between these 2 things:
1) Sacrifice half of humanity
2) Sacrifice the Goddess
There is no way I can decide that on my own (hold it on my own?) What an unpleasant Topic you left us with, Wakaba. It is not your fault the world is dying, Wakaba, still I want to express my Resentment.
Wakaba is going with the choice to sacrifice half of Mankind. If that is the case, then the man attacking her was disagreeing with that. He is a man that chose to sacrifice the goddess, I think. He acted some
time ago when we heard the divine Voice. There already exist 2 factions we do not know about, and each of them has been working behind the scenes to save the world. Speaking off, I move my gaze for
someone else that should be in this room besides Sensei and me. Felmina, the girl serving Wakaba.
However, even though she was here only a moment ago, her figure is not there when I am looking around the room. She probably went and informed the others of that faction about the attack on Wakaba. If that is the case, then a conflict breaking out between those 2 factions is very likely.
… What can we do about it?
In the battle between Wakaba and her companions versus the Elves, we were left in the dark. I am proud of being a decent Adventurer, but when that Battle happened, I could not do anything. We could do
nothing but lay low while the Imperial Army was going to attack the home of the elves. So, in a fight
about the fate of the world, what are we able to do? I have no Answer.
In the first place, we have no obligation to join this adventure.
Personally I want to escape any big battle with my tail between my legs. Still, even if I escape, the Battle
will still affect this worlds fate. Depending on who wins, it will change the Future greatly. So, with us
being here, can I really do that? I do not know.
I am not able to answer that on my own. We all have to share our opinion, and consult on that.
I pull the Hands of sensei, and leave the Room . Firmly in my hand, the Book Wakaba left behind.
