An Endless Journey Part 8

Pack (04/06)

NT: I think I found a way to check these chapters more quickly. I hope it goes well. If so, it is possible that it increase the chances of me making Packs of this thing, I mean, one of the reasons why I do not like to make Packs of this version is the fact that it is really tedious.

Excuse me? What about Kagami-san? Where is he?

Kagami? I feel like I've heard that name before but I don't remember where

Alice inflated her cheeks angrily at Cruz, who was watching her with a mocking smile on his face, while clearly pretending to have forgotten Kagami.

At that moment, Palna stroked Alice's head as she stood in front of her, then, she looked at Cruz with a sharp look.

We are looking someone who came here before us a Villager. He wasn't the kind of person you see every day. I doubt you can forget him

Fufu it was just a joke. You don't have to look at me that way, you're scary, scary. Yes, of course I remember him. That Villager just came a year ago after all and I'm completely sure he said his name was Kagami

One year ago? Wait, what are you talking about? Kagami came here 3 years before us

Ah, it seems I forgot to mention it. The time in Earth flows differently than it does in Earth Clear

Eh?

The moment she heard those unexpected words, Palna turned her confused look toward Alice. At that moment, Alice also looked at Palna with a surprised look that showed she couldn't believe what she had just heard.

We had to make some adjustments so that the time in Earth Clear will advance three times faster than in Earth since we don't have time to wait. However, you shouldn't be affected by this, so you don't have to worry

WWait a moment. So does that mean that time is moving three times faster in Earth Clear?

Palna asked incredulously in response to Cruz's words. In response to that, Cruz smiled as he muttered, Yes, that's right.

When someone leaves Earth Clear, its body begins to collapse due to the different way in which time passes. To avoid that, we apply some special medications to your bodies so that your bodies, which grow three times faster, adapt to this new environment. Thanks to that, you will age just like us here in Earth

I don't care about those things! No, this is not good. What will happen when we want to go back to Earth Clear? Something strange could happen to us if we come back now that our bodies have already adapted to this time flow, right?

You can calm down! We will assume the responsibility of readjusting your bodies so that it adapt to the time flow of Earth Clear so you don't have any problems related to your growth speed or physical development when you return. But you need a special medication to do that. However, it is a really rare medicine, so even if you wanted to go home immediately you will have to wait some time until we can prepare it

Palna's expression distorted after hearing those words. Then, Palna tried to lean against a wall disconsolate, however, for some reason, Alice and Krull, who somehow seemed excited, ran toward Cruz and,

ThThat means it's only been a year since Kagami-san got here, right!? So KKagami-san has twenty-fourth years old now!? He was twenty-three years old when he left! And I'm twenty-one years old now That means there is only a difference of three years between us, isn't it?!

I-I thought there would be no problem even if our age difference was ten years but maybe only Krull could do it? But now that I'm sixteen years old, and our age difference is only seven years, I can marry him without problems now, right?

No, I won't let you

Errrm

Instead of being impatient by the difference in the speed at which time passed in this place, the two began to have that lively conversation with smiles on their faces. Cruz, who was flooded by that wave of incomprehensible questions, could only murmur, No I don't know how to answer that, as he began to sweat.

After seeing that pair, who didn't seem to care about the way time passed, Palna somehow managed to calm down while letting out a sigh.

Well, it's not like we plan to go home without that Villager, so I won't say anything for now Besides, Kuu-chan looks really happy right now. Anyway, it seems that we have deviated a little from the subject So? What happened to Kagami?

Palna asked as she tried to return to the main topic. Unfortunately, when she asked that, Cruz let out an anguished sigh, and,

Bloody Hope. This is what we call it

mumble those words with a mixture of emotions in his tone.

Bloody Hope?

Yes, it is a cleaning device found here in Earth, which is always stained red by blood It's something really strange that seems to be alive*

NT: Honestly, I don't know if I translated this part correctly (All about Bloody Hope). This part confused me a lot in the Raw and I finally decided to leave it this way. It could be fine, and I have an approximate idea of what Cruz refers to with this, but, it is only an idea, it also may be all bad, but for now, it doesn't affect the history so far, so it is not necessary to think to much about this part. (The next sentence also confused me a bit).

They didn't understand what he meant by that, but it definitely was something related with the Villager of level 999.

I was quite excited to get to know him. Seriously, he managed to get to this place even having a role as inappropriate as that of Villager. Even if that Villager only managed to get here after having gathered 10,000 Golds, it is still the first time that someone with a Role as unsuitable for evolution as he had arrived at this place

The whole group bowed their head after hearing those words, while some doubts began to arise within them. The way he spoke towards it seems as if Kagami had only come here after gathering the 10,000 Golds without having any kind of remarkable ability.

I really wanted to talk to him. Although he was a simple villager, he still managed to get to this place, which made me believe that he could be what we needed to turn around the situation in which we find ourselves. But

But what?

No, nothing If you want to know what happened to him, it is best to talk to one of the people who were fighting by his side instead of me. Explain what this place is and tell you about the current state of Earth. That was the work that was given to me

After saying that, Cruz snapped his fingers. Then, a ring of bluish light was generated under his feet. Immediately afterwards, the ring began to rise until it completely covered Cruz's body, and then, the next instant, Cruz disappeared without leaving any trace.

After that, everyone started thinking about what he had said after Takako hit the ground to show the power of her Skill. He had said that he had only met people with no more than 3 Skills.

That person didn't know about Kagami-san's true abilities?

NT: As always, if you find something weird, whatever, just tell me in the comments
