CH 401
When Retzel, who had put his glasses in his pocket, snapped his fingers, the scene he had been seeing stopped sounding and moving as if on pause.
“Uoooooooooooohhhhh!”
“Lars!?”
As I thought, it’s his doing, I thought and used the levitation and the spring in my legs and feet to jump close to Retzel and punch him in the cheek.
“This is a dream you’re having, isn’t it! What do you mean by this! Is this revenge for what I did to you? Answer me ……!”
“……”
I was about to hit him again, when Makina and Sephiro grabbed my arm and stopped me.
“No, Lars, we need to listen to what he has to say! If it’s a dream that has nothing to do with Sephiro, we may never get out of here.”
“Big Sister is right! But if he’s going to do something bad, I’ll fight him too!”
“Makina, Sephiro …… I understand.”
When I lowered my fist, Retzel wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and turned to us. He opened his mouth slowly with his usual smile on his face.
“Kuku …… I’m pretty sure I’m the one who invited you here, just like you think. Well, the young lady and the Treant were a bit unexpected, but considering that the young lady is the one who will become Lars-kun’s wife, it’s better for you to know this. And Treant-kun is going to be an important figure in the upcoming battle, after all.”
“W-Wife!?”
“I’m important?”
Both of them reacted, but Retzel didn’t respond to them.
“We’ll talk about that later on ……. Now, what did you think of what you just experienced?”
“It’s not much …… but on the way here, I saw Luciel and Luciela-san being taken away …… while Kuu was fighting with the adventurers ……”
“For me, my dad and mom were killed, as well as Sarge, my brother, and Nora ……”
“Sarge-kun was killed!? Even though he’s that strong ……”
When Sephiro put his face down sadly, Retzel looked at his face and said happily. I remember that he was the kind of guy who would be excited to see the face of a dying person’s family, then I asked.
“But what’s the point? Honestly, I don’t think the town of Gust would be so overrun with Tigre-sensei, Verna-sensei with Sarge.”
“That’s a good question. I understand what you’re saying, Lars-kun, because it is the town with that War Demon, after all. However, this scene represents the town of Gust in the near future. If time goes on like this, it won’t be long before we end up in the same future as this dream.”
“What ……?”
I muttered to myself with a quizzical look in my eyes. Makina was also in disbelief as she closed in on Retzel.
“But, I can’t believe they’ll be beaten so unilaterally …… and who would do such a thing? If Verna-sensei is killed, Luitzar will not keep quiet, and since it’s Reflexion territory, if the country moves, they will be immediately counterattacked.”
“You’re right. But what if this was caused by a country? As you know, the Gospel’s Descent that I belonged to is based in the Berias Kingdom, but it’s a situation that the Founder Apollos is in control of. So that’s why they attacked us.”
He said an outrageous thing so easily. I lowered my shoulders and pointed my finger at Retzel, letting out a snort.
“Then I’ll ask, how do you know about that? This is the future, right, are you saying you foresaw it?”
“It’s alright if you think of it like that.”
“……!?”
“He doesn’t flinch at all, does he ……”
Sephiro was right, there was no sign of guilt, and no sense of mischief. He’s smiling, but he seems to be talking seriously.
“Foresight …… Is that the kind of skill you have ……?”
“Kuku, are you curious? So I’ll ask you, Lars-kun. Do you believe this scene and my story? If you don’t believe me, I will return you from here immediately. But if you do, I’ll tell you the rest of the story and my purpose.”
“What the hell are you ……”
Retzel did not reply to my mutterings, but waited silently for an answer.
This guy is a member of Gospel’s Descent, there is a good chance that he is playing a trick on me. Besides, the man who conspired with Brao to kill my brother …… a man who thinks nothing of killing people, that’s him.
Although my head was telling me that I shouldn’t listen to them, there was something in the back of my mind that was bothering me, so I thought about it for a while, shook Makina’s and Sephiro’s hands, and then answered.
“…… Let me hear what you are. It is strange that you are alive after receiving the Dragonic Blaze, and if this scene is true, I will continue to regret it.”
“That’s a wise decision, Lars-kun. It was worth the effort to come all this way. Now, in exchange for giving you this information, I have one request.”
Retzel snapped his fingers once more, and the entire landscape disappeared, leaving a blank space that confused us all.
“A favor?”
“Yes, it’s fine if it’s after everything is over. Can you please kill me then?”
“Wha!?”
“W-What are you talking about ……?”
“Big brother …….”
I was surprised to hear this and started to sweat. What do you mean, you don’t want to kill me, but you want me to kill you ……!?
“I know you don’t want to kill people, but I don’t think there will be anyone as good as you that will appear again in this life, Lars-kun.”
I asked Retzel, who has a sad smile on his face.
“…… Why? You say good as me, if it’s combat power, Tigre-sensei or Fath-san is still probably stronger. Does it have anything to do with the fact that you didn’t die even after being hit by the Dragonic Blaze?”
“Yes. I’m immortal like Geiri, and I’ve also got perennial youth. That time, the Dragonic Blaze took 70% of my body, but I have regenerated as you see. “
“Nonsense ……!? Then you have a Wise Man’s Soul too!”
I wondered if it was implanted in his body or not, but Retzel looked at Makina and said.
“It’s because of the skill that the young lady mentioned earlier. My skill is [Transcender]. I’ve been wandering the world for hundreds of years since I was born.”
It was not a very believable statement, but I guess that’s how he knew Pluto. Retzel continued his story–
We found out about Retzel’s skill. And what will happen to Lars and the others? And what about the town of Gust?
Thank you for reading!

“Future prediction, it’s possible if he’s transcending.”
You’ve got it all figured out in one word!?
“Uoooooooooooohhhhh!”
“Lars!?”
As I thought, it’s his doing, I thought and used the levitation and the spring in my legs and feet to jump close to Retzel and punch him in the cheek.
“This is a dream you’re having, isn’t it! What do you mean by this! Is this revenge for what I did to you? Answer me ……!”
