Wipe Out Everything With a Counter Attack Power of 10000000000

94. Selene (2)

“What is your relationship with the person who just left?”

I’m guessing you’re asking about Bell.

Among the group I am with now, the only human being is Bell.

“Bell, prosecutor. Colleague.”

“okay.”

Selene continued.

uuu…

Concentrating on engraving ＜Imprint of Flash＞ on Yuma.

“What kind of place is Middle-earth?”

“It’s not much different from the demon world. A variety of people and a variety of outsiders are gathered together.”

“Oh, is there harmony? Even though there are only demons and demon beasts in the Demon World, wars break out every day.”

“It’s the same in Middle Earth. Humans fight among themselves to take over each other’s territory. Wars between different races also occur quite frequently.”

“Hmm, I really wanted to go there at least once before I die. Is that illusion starting to break little by little?”

Selene’s tone of voice was becoming softer than before. Selene herself didn’t recognize it, but Yuma, who was listening to it, could clearly see the change.

“If you can come, come someday. If you come down and come to the Astes Empire before I die, I can treat you as a state guest.”

Selene smiled slightly at Yuma’s words.

“Thank you… I really don’t think there’s a chance I can go.”

Selene continued speaking as she continued the imprinting process.

“Demon King Bergette was not as cruel as I thought. He rarely beat me, killed several family members as an example, or showed such obvious cruelty.”

Yuma quietly listened to Selene’s continued words.

“It was cruel in another sense. He forced non-awakened members who were not awakened bloodlines to marry people belonging to his demon lord. The word was marriage, but everything was forced. The fact that he pulled out his sword and created a hostile atmosphere for all of his subordinates was in itself. “It meant that if you didn’t follow his suggestions, he would cut off the heads of all your family members.”

Bergette did not choose to rule through physical pain.

misery.

Creating a situation where there is no choice but to be dominated. It made me just accept the situation.

“As part of that, I am also monitored every day, but I have not been subjected to any acts of violence. They are monitored by a large number of personnel, but when I enter this house, I do not enter the house. I guess it creates a breathing hole. I do not die. “It’s a breathing hole that will allow you to carry out your karma, but… hell is just hell.”

“hobby.”

“yes?”

“Do you have any hobbies?”

In response to Yuma’s question, Selene pursed her light pink lips for a moment, then opened her mouth.

“A picture.”

“painting?”

“On the bookshelf over there. All the notebooks are drawings.”

Yuma raised his head just a little enough that his body did not move. She could see numerous notebooks on the bookshelf.

And I saw several chess pieces placed on the bookshelf. It was a chess piece that looked like a queen and a king.

“Do you play chess too?”

Selene nodded her head slowly.

“I used to play chess with my father quite often. Lately… I haven’t played it. I don’t have anyone to play with.”

Yuma originally felt a slight sense of intimacy with Selene.

Because the name and appearance were the same as Selene seen in the game ＜Loop Blood＞.

And now, that intimacy has become a little deeper.

Drawing and chess.

This is because it was one of the few hobbies that Yuma enjoyed in the world he originally lived in before being summoned to this world.

Yuma slowly opened his mouth.

“Did you say that the fastest time for the imprinting ability to manifest is 3 hours?”

“Yes… before the family was ruled by Bergette. When I was imprinted by my father, I also appeared within 3 hours. When I imprinted people within the family, it always appeared within that amount of time. In other cases, it usually appeared. It took a week, and sometimes a month.”

Yuma thought for a moment.

Anyway, it was an awkward time to receive an imprint and leave immediately. Because the day has become quite dark.

It was right to move when the bright red sun rose.

It didn’t seem like a bad idea to stay here for another 3 hours and watch the imprint awakening.

Although it did not seem very likely that the shortest awakening time that only applied to the same family would manifest to him.

“It’s done.”

With those words, Selene removed her right hand from Yuma’s back.

It seemed that the imprint of ＜Flash of Light＞ had been completed.

‘Because the status window doesn’t appear.’

The imprint’s ability has not yet been revealed.

Yuma didn’t really care. He had already heard from Selene right in front of him that his apparition would be a little late.

Yuma faced Selene, who was looking at him.

“I’d like to see some pictures.”

“…A picture?”

“okay.”

Selene, who had not shown her drawings to anyone in hundreds of years, stood up with a strange expression on her face and walked towards Yuma holding a notebook.

Yuma knew it well too.

Your own feelings.

There is definitely a reason to wait for the time for the imprint to appear, but fundamentally, this is just a very rude and foolish thing to do.

It’s just poor pity. A misguided idiot who wants to comfort Selene’s worn-out heart even just a little.

“how is it?”

Selene opened her drawing notebook and asked shyly. Yuma looked closely at the picture Selene showed.

The painting depicted the bright red scenery of the demon world.

A very bright red sky unique to the Demon World. And the black sun setting in the center of the sky.

Pure white stars were shining around the black sun.

Bats and birds gliding along the mountain ridge.

Even though it was extremely dark. It was a beautiful picture.

“The bats and birds, and even the perspective are expressed.”

Selene’s eyes widened at Yuma’s words.

“that’s right.”

What is needed for praise is detail.

“A variety of red shades were used here.”

I’m not just saying it’s well drawn.

“Yes…! Do you ever draw?”

He knew this well because he himself was a painter.

Yuma picked up a pen and drew a sketch. The picture drawn by Yuma is of Middle Earth. To be precise, it was the Cross of Glory where Brigitte was appointed emperor.

The capital of the Astes Empire. And the center of the capital. In ＜Crossroads of Glory＞, four landscapes come together in one place.

To the east is a sophisticated structure. To the west is a garden with many flowers. There is a fountain to the south. There was a huge bridge to the north.

It was named the Crossroads of Glory because it allowed one to see the greatness of the empire in one place.

Slurp…

After completing the sketch, Yuma picked up the brush. He put paint on his brush and started coloring.

Yuma picked up a brush and handed it to Selene.

“Let’s paint together.”

Selene’s eyes sparkled at Yuma’s words.

“Is that okay? But I don’t know anything about the colors of this place.”

Yuma smiled slightly.

“You know. The original color is not that important when coloring.”

Yuma pointed to Selene’s picture with his right hand. It was Selene who gave beautiful color to the originally extremely dark landscape of the Demon World.

“I did.”

Selene smiled brightly and colored the cross of glory drawn by Yuma. Side by side.

In this way, the two completely completed one picture.

“pretty.”

Selene spoke after drawing the blue sky for the last time.

Yuma and Selene played chess for the second time.

Tak─

Selene burst out laughing.

“Contrary to the picture, you are a bit of a beginner at chess, aren’t you?”

“…I think you’re good at it.”

Yuma raised both hands in a move that immediately took his life away. Selene continued to smile and tidy up her chess board.

-You should leave it like this. Selene.

This is because it brought back memories of my father, whom I had forgotten for a very long time.

This was right after Selene placed the organized chessboard on the desk.

Silver light flowed from Yuma’s back. A letter appeared before Yuma’s eyes.

[The imprint of a flash of light has appeared.]

The blinking ability was fully engraved on Yuma’s body.

“Already…imprinted.”

Selene’s eyes widened as she realized that an imprint had appeared in the light extending like a halo on Yuma’s back.

Selene now remembered her father’s words about the time of imprint manifestation.

-The reason the imprints imprinted on family members appear quickly is not because they are members of the family.

-The caster and the target. This is because our ability to communicate with each other is high. It’s family.

“You’re lucky, it looks like the engraving is straight.”

Jeopuk

Yuma came next to Selene, who was sitting quietly with a blank expression.

“If we kill Bergette, Selene, we can free the entire family, including you… Is it clear?”

Selene nodded her head slowly.

“yes that’s right.”

Yuma also nodded once.

“Let’s rest for a while. I’m going to have a chat with the people outside.”

“yes.”

Yuma left the house.

“….”

Selene, left alone, looked at the open drawing notebook.

The two of them together were a picture of a cross of glory.

“father.”

Selene looked out the window.

“I think the family can be free again. I guess this is it.”

Selene stared at the picture for a while and slowly closed the picture notebook.
