He went to the guild headquarters on a regular basis.
He received rewards for his quests as well as new quests.
At that time, Rick had sneakily handed Linden-san, the receptionist, a bottle that looked like a test tube with a part of a demon's body in it.
''It's the same as in the Great War Party. Linden and Rick have been working together for more than ten years now.''
Yeah, I know.
It's kind of hard to breathe as my chest tightens.
Had Rick been planning something with me and Alice all along?
Did he not see us as friends, even a little bit, even a piece of us?
''However, synthetic magic and spatial magic, both of which are already lost ancient magic. How did Linden acquire it? 'Rick taught you that, didn't he?'
...... I don't know. But I've never seen Rick use ancient magic before.
In the past, when I was desperate to take care of Baby Mo and Alice, I didn't look at Rick's suspicious behavior as if I were looking at it.
No, I didn't even have such an idea back then.
I'm not going to stop looking at your recollections any longer, Tach. There are things you don't need to know. Whatever Rick is up to, let's just let him go. Why don't you suggest that we go somewhere together? Let's just leave it all alone and live quietly where no one can see us.'
'...... I can't do that, Karuna. I did that a decade ago.
You can't change the past that got you out of everything.
It's time to pay back the price for that time.
But you can change the future by looking at the past.
''There are no S-class quests that you can currently accept. That's right, there is one AA (Double-A) class quest in the Valley of Chaos, although the rank is a bit lower.
Hmm. Okay. What's the target?
The target is ......, please hold on.
Mr. Linden interrupts his conversation with Nuruhachi and suddenly walks over to me in the past.
'It,'
Mr. Linden said, pointing to me in the past.
'Yeah, I picked this guy up. 'It's okay, he's quiet,'
No, sir. It's the clothes.
I thought I had come to warn him about Baby Mo, but apparently not. I looked at my clothes and before I knew it, all the buttons on my shirt were gone, exposing my chest skin.
I look at Baby Mo and pui and look away from him.
This guy ate the buttons.
'Please take them off. I have some spare buttons right here on hand.
Yeah, right here! It's okay, it's bad!
As I said this, Mr. Linden silently begins to undress me.
'Hey, hey! It's not funny that a receptionist would do that! I'll do it for you later, don't stop!
It's as if Sasha can't hear me, and Mr. Linden deftly sews the buttons on the clothes he's removed from me.
'You're so sweet. The receptionist's sister. Can I ask for the next time?
Before I knew it, Batts was tearing off all the buttons on his shirt and making the front flop all the way open.
With a snap, Mr. Linden snapped his fingers and the guild guards came over, just as they did in the introductory exam.
'Take that obscene thing away.
Ha!
"What, oh shit, not again! Stop!
Batts exits, with the guards again holding him by his sides.
'Tuck, are you feeling frozen?'
Yeah, it's just a little bit different.
It's called déjà vu.
That's what Mr. Linden did to me a long time ago.
But I can't remember it.
The memories of my childhood have completely disappeared.
"It's done. Come in.
Oh, thank you.
When he finished buttoning up, Mr. Linden went back to the reception desk as if nothing had happened.
''Thank you for your patience. Now let's have a target in the Valley of Chaos: .......
No, you're crazy!
Nuruhachi, who hadn't moved from the reception area, finally rushed in.
'What is it, my dear? Do you have a crush on my Takumi? It's a good idea to show off your skills.
'I didn't mean to. I just happened to want to practice my sewing skills.
So why don't you just do it at Vats?
I'm going to categorically deny it.
Mr. Linden forcefully dodges Nuruhachi's verbal attacks.
'Tell me as soon as you're off the button from now on, Takumi.
Oh, yeah, yeah, I get it.
Sasha grabs the hem of my shirt from the past and sulks.
'You're still popular in the past, Takkun.
'Not really. I'm so unreliable, everyone feels like a guardian.
We finally got the quest and left the Guild Society.
On the way out, Linden-san secretly handed Rick an egg-like object so that no one would notice him.
'Mnya, Takumi, is there any food yet?'
I don't know what's going to happen now, but Alice is talking in her sleep as if she's happy with my past back.
The quest in the Valley of Chaos was relatively easy to complete.
Not only was Nuruhachi's magic strong, but from this time onwards, Rick would make a plan before taking on the quest.
It always fell into place beautifully, and he would accomplish the quests efficiently.
''I'm appointing Rick as the leader of this party.
Nuruhachi said as they were camping in the Valley of Chaos.
The area was already dark, and the four of them were in a circle around the campfire.
Right beside them, Baby Mo and Alice were hugging each other in a tangled embrace, breathing in their sleep.
When they're awake, they fight all the time, but only when they're asleep are they close. Perhaps they feel comfortable with each other's body heat.
...... Either way, I don't care which one.
Rick didn't look particularly happy or uncomfortable.
He just did his assigned role without a care in the world.
Rick had always been like that.
'Nice to meet you, Rick. I'm counting on you.
Just when I said that, Rick was about to say something and stopped himself from doing so.
I couldn't see his expression through his armor, but I figured that Rick was just a little lost.
Stupid past me, I didn't notice that and went over to Alice and Bevimo and put a blanket over them.
If I had realized that then, would I have stopped what was about to happen?
Once he's alone, Rick takes out the egg he received from Mr. Linden from his armor.
It was a poisonous egg with various colors mixed in.
''The "disassembly" (reverse).
Quietly, Rick murmured into the egg.
'It's a demon language. And that's ......'
The shells of the eggs break and the flesh overflows and spreads from them.
They take shape and become the demonic beasts I've seen before.
'Ancient magic and...'
A chimera was born in front of Rick, a chimera that Alice decided to run amok.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
