LV999 Villager Chapter 11 part9

Pack (05/06)

NT: There is nothing here, just keep reading.

「I don't know… But anyway, our priority is to find out what happened to Kagami-chan」

Said Takako as she looked at the device below them, what supposedly was Earth Clear, while letting out a sigh. Despite how horrified she felt after knowing that, until only some time ago, she had also been sleeping on one of the devices that were attached to the walls, she also thought that perhaps she would be much happier if she could return to sleep in them.

Kagami had felt furious against those responsible for the creation of the System of Earth Clear. However, Takako, who understood that they were an opponent with whom she could not even dream of defeating, began to feel anxious after understanding that she would have to face against horrors she had never even dreamed of.

「Takako-san… Are you all right? You're sweating a lot」

「… I'm fine, Krull-chan. It's just that I'm worried about not knowing if we can go back home safely. If only… David were here…」

In an attempt to ward off her feelings of anxiety, Takako decided to enter her own rosy world while imagining David, coming for her, while riding on a white horse. On the other hand, Krull, who began to feel incredibly uncomfortable after seeing Takako's expression, quietly walked away while walking towards Tina, who was still looking down.

「If Earth Clear is a virtual world whose main objective is to ensure the well-being of Humanity… So why aren't we all born on equal terms…?」

「… Tinsan」

「I get it, okay. They surely… wanted to recreate the environment of life as they were before. It is possible that life in Earth from some time ago hasn't been very different from the way things are currently in Earth Clear. But… But why did it have to be this way?」

Tina, who lost her parents at an early age and was raised in the Church as an orphan, experienced directly how hard life could be, and over time that had only left a bitter taste, however, that feeling just became more intense after knowing that what was happening in the world had been somewhat prepared by its System, which made her begin to cry bitterly.

While observing that situation, Krull finally managed to understand the reason why Tina had been so surprised after seeing everything that lay beneath them.

「Is it that… there is no God to believe in? Don't joke with us… how was all this for our welfare!?」

Tina, who grew up in a church after becoming an orphan, had full faith in God, and believed that she had been saved by its divine guide. However, the truth was that she lived in a world created by a system. Tina knew of many other orphans who sought salvation like her. However, the true world in which she was born was a world mired in despair, where every day was very painful to endure. She did not want to be involved in the slightest with what was happening in the world or with Human Evolution.

「Tinchan, it's not bad that you feel that way」

Palna began to gently caress Tina's head at the moment when she was about to burst into tears as tears fell down her cheeks.

「… But everything is a fake, Our World is fake! It was all a lie… Made just for our bodies to evolve to save Earth!」

「Is that so? Was it really all… a lie? Just look at us, we're here, isn't it?」

Palna said as she gently hugged Tina, trying to make her understand that she was there.

「I may not be the most appropriate to say this, but the time we spent together was not a lie. All of us, together, came here with the intention of meeting Kagami. Or do you think that is also false?」

Tina, whose face had been buried between Palna's breasts, could simply shake her head from side to side after hearing her words.

Then, imitating Palna, Rex also approached Tina, and put his hand on her shoulder as he smiled, indicating that he thought the same as her.

「It's just like Palna says. We would never have abandoned Earth Clear nor would we have become this strong if we hadn't met my Master. I don't like to admit it, but if I hadn't met my Master… I would definitely have been killed by the Demon King when I ran into him. But I'm still alive! Even if our world is fake, the days I spend with him are not」

Tina was finally able to look around after hearing Rex's words of encouragement. Then, everyone started looking at Tina with warm and gentle looks. Not only Rex, Krull and Palna, who were in the same group as her, but also Menou, Alice and Takako, who had once been her enemies. Everyone was worried about her.

「The fact that we, a Demons, can be with you without worrying about anything is thanks to Kagami-dono. And now we are here to help him. So don't say things as sad like “everything was a lie”. I don't know what the future holds for us… but we will face it together」

After hearing Menou's words, Tina, who still had her face buried between Palna's breasts, began to feel ashamed. Then, with a smile, and her slightly swollen eyes, she said, 「You're right … We are all friends」, while she was relieved that the people around her really were her friends.

「Oh, here they are. It is you, isn't it? You are the new Heroes〇Eiyû〇-sama that just arrived, right?」

At that moment, the floor and the walls that surrounded them turned into a solid color again, blocking the view of the surroundings, and causing the room to turn completely dark.

Immediately after, the door behind them opened loudly.

Then, the room was illuminated by a dazzling light that came from the door, from where also also rushed into a small person with a manly attitude*.

NT: With “Manly” (Otokomasari) refers to a person who works hard, who is disinterested about what others may think of it, with strong-minded, competitive and who does not hesitate to act (I mean, a person who does or says what it thinks without worry about what others may think about it). At least that is what I found after looking for the term used in the raw.

「Ohoho~! Incredible~! It is the first time I see so many people coming at once! My emotion increases… My emotion is increasing, Mary-chan!」

「Turn down the volume… Why do you have to get so excited?」

Behind the small person who entered first, also entered another person, who was as tall as Palna, and seemed to be in a very good mood. Although their figures could not be distinguished quite well due to the light that came from behind them, at a glance, their figures indicated to the group that the two people who had entered were women.

NT: As always, if you find something weird, whatever, just tell me in the comments
