Chapter 448: Thinking About It Was Not Useless, but It Did Not Necessarily Yield an Answer.
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
(What does this mean?)That night, lying in bed, I quietly pondered the impossible thing I saw during the day.
An indomitable spirit Simply put, its a heart that never gives up. The resolve to keep taking steps forward without ever giving up, no matter what difficulties lie ahead Described like that, it seems like something all those called heroes might possess.
In fact, thats not wrong. However, if its manifested as a firm quality, thats a different story.
For example, my blacksmith master, Dalton. Hes an elder Dwarf and a great figure with exceptional smithing skills, but theres no such thing as an indomitable spirit within my master.
Of course, this doesnt mean Masters heart was fragile. Master Dalton was already a top-class blacksmith when I met him, but he must have overcome various conflicts and hardships to reach that point.
But its not enough. Such an ordinary life doesnt change the state of ones soul enough to be visible through the [Seven Lights]. As far as I know, the only one who knew such despair was Hero Harris in the world of the Winter Demon King.
Harris, the last hero of that world, who had his beloved wife and daughter unreasonably taken from him, calmly prepared in maddening loneliness, traversed the destroyed world all alone, and finally avenged all life at the cost of his own. Only with experiences like his can one acquire an indomitable spirit.
And yet, Margaret possesses something similar? Is such a thing really possible?
(Its impossible. It has to be impossible no matter what.)
If my memories from the first run were correct, Margaret should have been subjected to subtle bullying or harassment from her half-brother and sister the Second Prince and Second Princess. Although its just childrens actions, it might hurt her heart because shes a child too.
But I cant imagine that would make her taste despair like Harris did. Her mother, the Third Queen, was living normally and healthily, and she was not ostracized by the people in the castle either.
How could Margaret, Margaret, who lived without worrying about food, clothing, and shelter and was loved, encounter something that would awaken an indomitable spirit? No matter how much I think about it, I cant understand, and theres physically not enough time for a five-year-old girl to awaken such a thing.
(This isnt something I can overlook. But I cant just ask her directly What should I do?)
Even if the person were an old man, Have you ever experienced deep despair in your past life? isnt a topic you can casually ask about. Let alone asking such a thing to a five-year-old girl; Id be doubted of my sanity.
Or rather, I think if I asked, shed probably tilt her head and say What are you talking about? Does that mean shes not aware of it herself? I see, thats a possibility too. If thats the case
What on earth happens in this world after I leave?
I only stayed in this castle for about half a year at most. Naturally, in the first run, I didnt even sense the existence of the Demon King, let alone defeat it, so the Demon King will probably revive somewhere eventually.
Will she face a terrible tragedy then? Is Margaret given such talent from the start to not be crushed by it? If so
To put it bluntly, thats bullshit.
I want to say that rather than giving her talent to endure tragedy, they should eliminate the tragedy in the first place. But sometimes one persons tragedy becomes anothers salvation. Besides, we dont know what kind of adult Margaret will become. Theres a possibility she might become a notorious villainess and then have a change of heart due to that tragedy, becoming a true hero
Ah, I dont understand!
I unconsciously said this a bit loudly, lightly hitting my head against the pillow as if to switch my consciousness. I think its never useless to accumulate various speculations even for questions without answers, but thinking too much about it will only tire me out and lead my thoughts in strange directions.
Clarify what you want to do and what you should do. Clearly define your purpose and focus all your efforts on following it. The minimum I should do is to be safely banished from this world. And before that, if possible, identify the existence of the Demon King and decide how to deal with it. However
Appear, [Akashic Compass]. The item Im searching for is the Demon King of this world, a fragment of my power.
As I muttered this, stretching my hand towards the ceiling, a metal frame appeared in mid-air. Its positioned as if it might fall on my face, but its not bound by gravity, so theres no problem. The problem is the black darkness displayed inside it.
As expected, it cant be detected
As it happened before, if the Demon Kings existence was sealed by some means, there were cases where its whereabouts cant be known like this. It certainly exists, but in this situation, theres no way for me to search for it. Well, since Margaret is a princess, we couldnt go looking for it anyway unless she was kidnapped.
Hah, I dont understand THIS, I dont understand THAT! Its quite stifling to have so many unknowns. Maybe I should at least let Tia go on errands to town? That way we could gather some proper information yawn
Perhaps because Ive been spinning my wheels too much, the red-hot gears of thought start to creak and stop. My already scattered thoughts break into pieces and melt away. Ah, this is no good. Well, theres no need to force myself to persist
Lets sleep.
In the warmth where all the questions that had been bothering me become irrelevant, I entrust myself to peace for a while and let my consciousness fall into darkness.
And so, the troubling night ends, and our days continue. In the end, I couldnt figure out why Margaret possessed an indomitable spirit, and I even got permission for Tia to go out once every ten days Three and a half months after coming to the castle. On that day, the first change in the flow of fate occurred.
Kyuuuuuuu
Ed! More! Try harder!
Kyu, kyuuuuu
I, who am a deer with all my body and soul, was now facing the greatest challenge of my deer life. Deer are supposed to be able to turn their necks like this all the way back, so thats the movement being demanded of me.
Um, Princess? Isnt this impossible after all?
Its not impossible! Im sure Ed can do it! Right, Ed?
Kyuuuuu
Under Margarets expectant gaze, I desperately twist my neck. But while my soul might be a deer, my body is human well, human. Sadly, a humans neck doesnt bend that far back. But to meet the expectations in the innocent girls eyes Now is the time for me to surpass human limits!
BOOM!
Whoa!?
Just as my neck was about to bend in a direction it shouldnt, a sudden roar echoed around us. Next to me, now back to human form, Elsa quickly pulled Margaret close and placed her hand on her sword.
BOOM!
Enemy attack! Its an enemy attack!
With another tremor, such voices could be heard from outside. Margaret broke free from Elsas grasp and dashed out into the corridor.
Princess!? Please wait, Princess!
Elsa called out desperately, but Margarets feet didnt stop. She slipped through the gaps between the panicking servants, quickly getting further away.
Of course, Elsa and I chased after her. But while we might push past enemies, we cant do the same with servants. In the end, we only caught up when Margaret stopped in the courtyard after leaving the castle.
Princess, its dangerous! Please return to the castle immediately
Why?
Princess? What are you What!?
Hey, hey, whats this!?
As Margaret mutteed looking up at the sky, Elsa and I were drawn to look up as well. There, a giant dragon was soaring through the air, and each time a fireball spewed from its mouth hit part of the castle, it crumbled with an explosive sound.
Why is there a dragon here!? And how did no one notice such a huge thing approaching!?
Princess! Quickly! Princess!
Why!? Why are YOU coming here now!?
Princess! I apologize!
Youre supposed to attack seven years from now!
The moment Elsa tried to forcibly embrace her, Margaret shouted that towards the dragon. As if in response, the dragons golden eyes glared sharply in our direction.
