Chapter 131: Volume 3 - CH 10.13

NT: Last Friday was horrible for Catora. Things have been terrible around here, and Catora failed to return home on time. By the time he left his university, the subway stations had already closed, and he had to wait hours for someone to pick him up, and on the way back home, one of my mother’s car tires (who went to pick me up at the university) it got pricked. Fuck, it was horrible. On the way back we saw the Protestants (troublemakers) fighting the police officers and… fuck. Now there is a curfew and, damn, I hear the helicopters hovering around. The good thing (if I can say that it is), is that due to everything that has happened here, they ended up canceling the classes (there can be no classes if the students cannot reach them).

Catora’s University is right in the middle of 3 subway stations goddamnit! It looked like a battlefield!

『The fact that you have arrived in such a deplorable state or not does not change the fact that you managed to get here. But, this is really amazing… I feel like I’m seeing a familiar face, yes, aren’t you that Demon who accompanied that Villager who skipped the normal procedures to get here?』

The Dark Dragon said as he looked directly at Menou, as if trying to read his thoughts. Then, believing that lying to the Dark Dragon would be useless, Menou had no choice but to nod silently, at the same time, the Dark Dragon let out a sigh while muttering 『As I thought』.

「What do you mean by that?」

Tina asked while bowing her head.

『Simple. It is very unlikely that someone will come to this place because of the agreement of that Villager. In the same way, it should be impossible to collect enough gold to buy a ticket for each of you in the three years that have passed since that Villager left. However, right now, the Demon who came with that Villager three years ago… is in front of me. It is not enough information?』

「Certainly, but … you look pretty calm. I thought you would be surprised, and even angry at us since we did not come here by the proper way」

『It is impossible to break through to this place through the route that Villager used without possessing the right qualities. At least one of you has great power, doesn’t it? In that case I will allow it. It has already become clear to me that people qualified to move on to the Next Stage should not necessarily follow the regular procedures to get to this place』

At the moment of hearing those unexpected words, everyone stared at the Dark Dragon with their eyes wide open, then, they let out a deep sigh as they put their hands on their relieved breasts.

『Besides… I already knew that you would eventually come to this place』

「What do you mean by that? Are you telling us that you already knew what we had planned?」

Takako asked, with a doubtful look on her face, at the mysterious words of the Dark Dragon. At least, she had only decided that she should go help Kagami some time after he left. The others had also shown their intentions of wanting to help him in some way. And even Alice, Tina and Palna had begun to think the same way recently. However, Takako felt that the 『I knew』 that the Dark Dragon was referring to was something different from what they thought.

『Of course, I already knew that you would come here someday. Although, well, I really can’t say that I was the one who knew… but that Villager』

「That Villager… do you mean Kagami-san? What does it mean that Kagami-san knew we would come, Dark Dragon-san」

Alice was the first to react at the moment when she heard the Dark Dragon mention Kagami, approaching him to ask more about it

Seeing Alice act in that way without giving importance to his intimidating appearance, the Dark Dragon muttered, 『That man continues to surprise me』, while remembering the figure of that Villager who stood in front of him without showing the slightest sign of fear.

『As you may know, all those who have arrived here have the right to make a wish. Of course, that Villager also had that same right』

「What is it that Kagami-san… ask for?」

『He asked me that, at the moment you came here, even if you did skip the regular route, I would allow everyone to move on to the Next Stage…』

Everyone showed a confused look, without understanding the reason why Kagami had made that wish. However, only Alice, the only one who seemed to have understood his intentions, was smiling, unable to suppress her joy.

『That Villager was convinced that you would go to help him if he took too long to return. And he also knew that, at that moment, you would be forced to fight once more. That’s why he made that wish with the intention of not forcing you to go help him』

Everyone was surprised by the fact that this had happened three years ago. Then, the Dark Dragon said, 『I have a message from that Villager to you all』, and began to repeat the words he had said at the time.

『I need help』

The moment they heard those words, which never crossed their minds, they all kept silent while thinking about things like, 『This is how Kagami is』 or 『Three years ago, Kagami-san already I had predicted that this would happen』, while feeling some warm sprouting in their hearts.

Instead of doing it all alone, Kagami had asked for help. That man, who was strong enough to do everything himself, and who had always been protecting them and fighting for their own good, was now trusting them to help him. He was calling for them.

He wanted them to fight by his side. I wanted them to reach his level. I wanted them to help him. They, who knew Kagami, and knew how he used to act, couldn’t help but feel happy after realizing that he believed in them.

『However, I don’t know if that Villager is still alive. Three years have passed… there is no guarantee that he will survive so long』

「Wait, you mean there is a risk that we lose our lives in the Next Stage!?」

Palna, who until just a few moments ago had been immersed in the warm feeling that sprouted from her chest, asked that at the moment when she heard that they could die in the Next Stage, thinking it was too dangerous to take Alice to that place.

『Naturally. That is why we are looking for powerful people… or so it is supposed to be. However, only people who have moved on to the Next Stage know what is there. I can’t tell you what you will find in that place』

「No, Kagami-san is still alive」

Alice said nonchalantly as she showed Palna a wide smile, intending to make her calm down.

「How can you be so sure?」

「Because I know he won’t die. I… believe in Kagami-san」

After hearing the words of the smiling Alice, Palna could not help thinking that, no matter how dangerous the Next Stage was, it would be impossible to prevent Alice from going there. Then, she let out a deep sigh and said, 『You’re right』, with a smile on her face.
