I Can See Your Code

I see your code (178)

Anyway, most of my questions were answered… … .

After a moment’s hesitation, Kitan projected a clock into the air.

“If you still have questions, you better ask them as soon as possible. There is not much time left.”

After that, he took a deep breath and opened his mouth.

“Is there any way I can go back?”

“go back? Where, Earth?”

He just nodded without saying a word. Kitan looked at me and tilted his head.

“Well, there is a way… … .”

have you?

To be honest, I thought there would be no answer. Because I said that I came because of my soul, not the power of anyone else. Didn’t even that guy, the god of this world, say there was no way to bring me back.

“… … How is that?”

“Let me ask you two more than that.”

“What?”

“Are you talking about going back right now?”

“no. After you have done all you have to do here.”

This is an issue I’ve been thinking about for a while.

Responsibility is good, and regret is good.

No matter how unrelated to the game I’ve made, I’m already familiar with this world. Exactly for the people who live here.

I didn’t want to think that the relationship I’ve had so far was meaningless.

Even if I go back, that’s after stopping the destruction of this place. so decided

Kitan said with a curious face.

“After all the work you have to do, you’re talking about an invasion of another world, right?”

“… … .”

“I don’t think it would matter if you tell me that much. Nothing will change anyway.”

“… … right.”

After thinking about it for a while, Kitan looked at me with a bewildered expression.

“At that point, it wouldn’t be strange if you became the king of this world. What kind of president are you on Earth?”

“… … How else do you know the president?”

I didn’t even know the computer.

“I found out about the Earth after a little peek. Any more answers?”

“… … He’s not the president, and he hasn’t decided he’s going to go back yet. What is the second question?”

“That’s it. The second question was whether I was going to be president.”

Kitan frowned for a while at what was funny.

“After all, humans are unique. Even if you want to be hung up on material things like power or money, sometimes you are drawn to spiritual things like your hometown or memories.”

“So, do you pick it up?”

I felt bad for some reason, so I tried to die once. Kitan shrugged and shuddered.

“no. I’ve been here since then, and at the same time, I’m also the god of humans. I like that.”

“Anyway, tell me how to get back.”

“Maybe it’s simpler than you think?”

Kitan put his hand to his neck and said. And kek, it mimicked the blade of a hand.

“Suicide.”

“… … What?”

“I want you to commit suicide.”

“… … .”

Is that what you’re really talking about right now?

He looked at his face slightly, but he didn’t look like he was joking.

“… … Are you saying that if I die, I will return to Earth?”

“No, dying is really just dying. All I’m talking about is suicide.”

Kitan let go of his playful movements, and stood up and said.

“Your soul is compatible with this world, but it is also strong enough to do little damage even though it has crossed a dimension. If you show that you hate this place enough to take your own life, then your soul will stop giving up and return to Earth.”

“… … .”

Since I came here, now is the most complicated part of my head. Not because it was shocking, but because it was so much easier than I thought.

It was only when I was on Earth that I immediately felt a sense of rejection when I said that I took my own life, but after living here for a few years, my perception of life has become relatively dim.

I even gave up halfway through thinking that maybe I would never be able to go back, but right now… … . No, it was possible even on the day I came to this world.

Besides, death is scary because there is no guarantee of the next, and if you can wake up again, there is nothing to be afraid of. It could be some sort of escape route.

As she closed her mouth with a blushing feeling, Kitan smiled once more.

“why? It’s simpler than you think, so you’re out of your mind?”

“… … Yes and no.”

“I mean, it’s a complicated feeling. I understand. Just because it’s easy to choose doesn’t mean it’s a good choice.”

He muttered something profound and looked at the clock he had just floated.

“It was more time. It is time to return to the human world.”

“Wait, we’re still talking about rewards… … .”

“Don’t worry, you’ll find out when you get back.”

I’m just worried.

I wanted to say something like that, but I could already feel a certain force pulling me. And then, in an instant, my eyes went dark.

a little bit embarrassing Are you going to end up making it so bland?

I longed strongly to resist the unknown aura. Then I felt the pressure that was pulling me off a little.

“… … This is a little too surprising. No matter how strong a soul you may have, do you go against the law?”

As a son-in-law still in the dark, only Kitan’s startled voice could be heard.

“But it would be better not to resist. There is no benefit to that.”

Even if you don’t tell me, I’ve already stopped resisting. Because at some point the unimaginable pain came upon me.

Immediately I felt like I was floating in the air, and his last words faded away from my ears.

“I also wonder what choices you will make in the future. Either way, I wish you a satisfactory outcome.”

* * *

“Aww!”

As soon as I saw it in front of me, I started screaming.

I thought I had gotten used to pain, but this is not on that level.

I feel like my very existence is being ripped off.

It felt like I was putting a needle on the skin of my bones as well as the inside of my bones and piercing my root itself with a needle.

“Wait, are you okay?!”

The priests around me rushed to me and poured divine power. But nothing changed.

Still in pain… … .

“… … .”

what? none. The feeling that my whole body felt like it was going to break is completely gone.

He loosened his crouching body and got up from his seat. The priests looked up at me with puzzled expressions.

… … This is somehow very embarrassing.

Big, coughing, he said.

“sorry. It’s fine now.”

“ah… … But why were you screaming? … .”

“I usually have a bit of a chronic illness. It’s been quiet for a long time, but it seems like it’s been a while.”

“That… … .”

The priests started looking at me with pitiful eyes.

It looks like it’s been overlaid with an ugly image, but it’s better than a madman who suddenly screams to himself.

I regained my composure a little, then looked around. The location was the same as the reception room. However, there were only two priests who had more than a dozen people, and the pope had also disappeared somewhere.

How much time has passed?

Suddenly, a movie I had seen a long time ago popped into my mind.

After returning to another planet for a few minutes, it was a setting that several decades had passed since the original place.

I went there knowing that there was a difference of several hours at most, but I became anxious for a moment. There’s no guarantee that this won’t change either.

I hurriedly asked the priest next to me.

“Has it been a long time since I disappeared?”

“Yes. The Pope said it was the best record ever.”

The priest looked at me with an envious face.

From their point of view, if they can meet their gods for a long time, they won’t have much of an honor.

But in reality, my anxiety only increased.

“How much is that…”

“Don’t be surprised. What a week!”

thank god. When I came back, it was a return after a few years, because it wasn’t like this. If that was the case, the plan would all go awry.

The moment I breathed a sigh of relief, the door swung open. And dozens of priests and paladins rushed inside.

“Is it true that the savior has returned?!”

“There, there you are!”

They quickly looked around me and started asking questions.

From whether Kitan really looks like a stone statue at the main office, to the sharp question of whether he had been offered an apostleship.

Still, it was fortunate that no one asked if he was protecting the sun or what kind of conversation he had.

Anyway, it was a fully understandable response, so I answered it with all my heart and sincerity in my own way.

“Khitan is not in the form of a stone statue.”

“if… … ?”

“The eyes are on the mouth, and the mouth is on the eyes. The nose hangs upside down.”

The priest made a disbelieving face.

“… … Is that really?”

“Are you saying that I am telling lies in his temple now?”

“Hey, it’s not like that!”

“Please don’t look at God from a human point of view. Oh, and the apostolate was not offered.”

This time, the paladin who asked the question made a sad face.

“If it’s the savior, I definitely thought that Kitan-sama would be a coveted person, but… … .”

“Unfortunately, it seems that I was a little lacking in his eyes.”

The paladin waved his hand with a bewildered face.

“I didn’t mean it that way! I just… … .”

“Of course I do. Rather, it is only an honor to think that you have appreciated me. Do you have any more questions than that?”

I asked and looked around.

Everyone seemed hesitant, but there was no sign of raising their hand.

Perhaps there are questions left, but I guess I did everything I could as long as I didn’t make an excuse.

I had no intention of going out there and trying to solve it. In fact, most of them are difficult to answer.

I got up from my seat in the middle and shaved my butt.

“If there are no more, I will go back to my bedroom. If you have any questions that come to mind even later, feel free to come. Oh, except for the gift. It’s not a polite thing to say, it’s the truth.”

It was a moment to emphasize again and again and then to get out.

“Savior.”

A priest came up to me with a scabbard.

“This is the sword you were wearing here. It was kept separately because he didn’t come back for a long time than I thought.”

Seriously, my mind was blown away, and it would have been difficult to leave my body alone for a week. I didn’t even think about putting it in a separate drawer for a few hours at most.

“If you feel bad… … .”

“no. Thank you for keeping it.”

He stretched out his arms to receive the sword he was handed over. And the moment my hand and sword met.

Whoa!

A huge light came out and wrapped around my weapon. It was divine power.

I was taken aback for a moment and stood still.

What the hell is this… … ?

At that moment, the priest who handed me the sword knelt down with a face full of emotion and cried out in a loud voice.

“It is the birth of the Apostle after St. Keetan has appointed you as an apostle!”
