Chapter 250 (Self Edited) Arbitrator and Official History Part 3
Lina was sighing unintentionally as she looked at what was projected in her sight. The thing that was there was something too much for her to see.
In the jet black that covered and spread all over the sky, something red hanging from there. The red part looked quite small, but it was just an optical illusion. Since the jet black part was too big, the red part just looked so small.
As if to prove it, at the same time when the red part touched the ground, a terrible roar was heard. The dancing explosion swallowed the surrounding easily, turning its wrath into ashes. It was just like a natural disaster.
If Im not mistaken, that is the Evil Dragon Well, it was as expected. When I heard the story, I was wondering why Nii-sama was there, but if Nii-sama didnt exist in the first place, that would be a convincing scene. (Lina)
[Hmm I understand that this is something you expected, but it doesnt seem to be shocking as I expected.] (Wu)
Shocking why is that? That reminds me, you said earlier that this is the second most painful scene for me, right? (Lina)
[Hmm? Is it wrong? I thought the scene where your home is destroyed and your mother is killed would make you shocked appropriately.] (Wu)
Certainly, Lina couldnt deny that. It would be a lie if she said she wasnt shocked at all.
However, when she was told that the scene was actually the official story, and when the scene was shown before her, that wasnt an event that actually happened. If so, she didnt really care too much as long as her mind was readied.
[I see, is that so?] (Wu)
No, well, maybe Im ruthless. (Lina)
[No, I was probably overthinking. Even though I resemble a persons spirituality, its only consciousness, and not a real person.] (Wu)
Perhaps, it was because Wu-san was taking care of her. The other her said that Wu-san was kind, and surely, that was correct. It wasnt a mistake even though it wasnt much different from being a Sparta.
Anyhow, she didnt think there was another way of saying it. When she thought how tactless it was, a slight bitter smile showed up on her face.
[Hmm It seems that I am judged in a way that I dont prefer.] (Wu)
Its just in your mind. More importantly, Im a bit concerned about something Just now, you mention Mother? Shouldnt you say my parents instead? (Lina)
[Hmm? No, its not a mistake Aah, I see. That reminds me, I havent explained it yet. She was also misunderstanding that first because of that.] (Wu)
Yes? Why is that? (Lina)
Well First of all, let me tell you the conclusion. It was only your mother killed by that. Your father wasnt there.] (Wu)
Eh? That is possible, but wouldnt it be weird in various ways? (Lina)
Radeus wasnt properly attacked, because Kraus was on the frontline against the Veritas Kingdom. If Kraus, who was the key of the event, wasnt there
No, it simply means that it didnt happen at that time, right? For example, he had to go to another place for some reason or something else. (Lina)
[No, thats not it. Your father wasnt there from the beginning. At least, he shouldnt have been close to that area destroyed by the dragon for more than a decade. At that time, he must have been glaring at the soldiers of the other country near the border with Lipka.] (Wu)
Lipka is it? (Lina)
That should be an impossible course of events.
Lipka was a name of a multiracial country located in the south of Veritas. Of course, it didnt have a border with Radeus. Inevitably, it wasnt possible to glare near the border, and to begin with, Radeus and Lipka werent hostile to each other. Therefore, there was no reason to do so.
[Well, thats something I havent explained yet. In fact, the country of Radeus should have disappeared.] (Wu)
Yes? What do you mean? (Lina)
[Theres no other meaning. The flow is the same up to the point of rebellion in Veritas and the establishment of Radeus, but less than a year later, Radeus was attacked and destroyed by Veritas.] (Wu)
W-whats going on? Mother and Father should be there, right? (Lina)
[Well, I cant say for sure because I couldnt see the details, but there werent many who could become strategists. They were able to outperform them locally, but overall, they lost and they had to surrender.] (Wu)
That was unconvincing, but as long as it didnt lie intentionally, it should be true.
Hmm to be honest, that fact is more shocking than the scene in front of me. (Lina)
[Hmm I see As expected, the subtleties of the human mind are difficult for me. Anyhow, thats why your mother remained here, and certainly, she couldnt resist the a.s.sault. She was awakened in the middle and was trying to resist, but I cant say that she was resisting.] (Wu)
But she won, yes? (Lina)
[Yes, she won, but to be exact, she won because the dragon self-destructed. Honestly, she wouldnt win if not because of that.] (Wu)
Is that so? (Lina)
If she witnessed the a.s.sault in this way, it would be convincing. However, she heard that Soma had defeated the dragon rather easily, so she didnt think so. It wasnt perfect, so it might be the reason
[No, I was also looking through her eyes. Its just that your brother is out of standard. If there is such an existence, she is certainly not needed.] (Wu)
As expected of Nii-sama! (Lina)
While talking about that, the scene where the Evil Dragons violence continued, Lina didnt feel anything more than what she expected. It was probably because it was huge and different from the actual event.
Rather, it was like sightseeing. She didnt feel like spoiling the mood.
According to the story, all the places within Radeus were burned down, and there was no vegetation, but when she thought about it, she suddenly spoke.
That reminds me, does the fact that Radeus was attacked and destroyed means that there was no Academy? (Lina)
[Of course. Thats because there wa.s.s no royal capital in the first place. The buildings were left behind, and those who were the royal family of Radeus were treated as slaves. No, it seems that the slaves were living a better life. Well, lets stop talking about this here. Its not something youre going to be happy about when I hear it.] (Wu)
I want you to do that. By the way they are (Lina)
[They were burned down by the Evil Dragon. Aah, to be exactly, she was left alone, so she inherited that girls abilities, but I dont want to talk too much about it if I can.] (Wu)
Eh, why not? (Lina)
To be honest, Lina was surprised. She didnt think it would say such a thing.
Maybe, it didnt help? (Lina)
[No, it was extremely helpful. Especially what happened to her afterwards. So, its because of that No, lets stop. Ill talk about it again later anyway.] (Wu)
For the time being, Lina knew that she didnt want to talk further, so she decided not to ask any more. Rather, that wasnt what she wanted to do in the first place.
The fact that there was no Academy means that the headmaster of the Academy Hildegard wasnt there either. (Lina)
[Aah thats one of the things I havent told you.] (Wu)
Eh? (Lina)
[Hildegard Lindwurm. She is the same as Soma Neumont. She is a person that shouldnt exist in the official history. I think she is the biggest factor in the world where Radeus isnt destroyed. Well, thats not that important.] (Wu)
No, no. How could you say that its not that important!? (Lina)
She knew that Hildegard was acquainted with Sophia and others. It was also said that the Academy was created almost at the same time as the kingdom was founded. Certainly, if that was the case, it was coherent. Lina thought that Hildegard was a wonderful person, but she was also an important person.
[No, it doesnt really matter. With or without Hildegard Lindwurm, there are only details that change after all. Thats just the norm. However, when it comes to Soma Neumont, its a completely different matter. I didnt mention him because there is no problem even if I dont talk about him at all. If you didnt ask me, I wont say anything.] (Wu)
Hmm Is it because it is a trivial matter? I dont think its trivial though. (Lina)
[Isnt the rise and fall of a country a common thing? Radeus, in particular, is a small country. It doesnt affect the big picture, with or without it.] (Wu)
In fact, that might be true, but Lina didnt feel good when she was told that it didnt matter whether she had a hometown or not. It would be unavoidable to pout the cheeks and being moody.
[Sorry. I seem to have something insensitive.] (Wu)
Hah. Well, its fine. That seems to be a fact. I wouldnt forgive you if you say something deprecating and try to affirm yourself. (Lina)
[Ill be careful. And it looks like its over there, too.] (Wu)
That looks like it. (Lina)
When she turned her eyes while saying it, the huge jet black that had just fallen from the sky was cut in two. It was like Soma, and she couldnt help but admire it.
Ooh she did it. To be honest, Im not sure if I can do that even now. (Lina)
[Well, the enemy is a combination of inheriting various powers. She has also inherited various powers as well, so it cant be helped if you cant do it.] (Wu)
I feel a bit disappointed when I think of myself as the same person. By the way, is this really the end? (Lina)
[Thats the plan, but do you feel unpleasant?] (Wu)
Theres none, but I thought it was different from the previous scene. (Lina)
The previous scene was to see the state of Lina after everything was finished, from a close distance. This time, it was an observation from a place far away from the middle of the matter. It would be a bit too different.
[Well, what I was trying to show you was different. It may seem a bit strange, but thats fine.] (Wu)
Well, if you say so, Im fine too. (Lina)
[I see. Well then, lets move on to the next one. The next one and the one after that would be something simple for you.] (Wu)
With such words, the field of vision dimmed. Immediately after that, the next scene appeared in front of Linas eyes.
