"Go now!"

She whispers to me as its done changing

"Yeah, hang on."

The glitch began attacking, first slow then it began to speed up.

When it was about to hit one of them... Tralio, i decided it was time now.

Charging forward, I attacked the glitch.

"!"

Similar to the past(?), killing it was easy.

Strangly i didnt faint this time.

"Thank you, saviour!"

"No worries, is everyone okay?"

"Ah, yes, thanks to you."

Everyone seemed okay.

Hearing my sister run up from behind me, where the foliage was, she slapped my head.

"Ow."

It didn't hurt.

"Oh? Who is this girl?"

Rilatia asked.

"Could she be a Mutated Kooroki?"

Slapping his head... its basically what my sister told me what happened while i was unconscious.

While this was happening, i wasnt listening, i turned my head to the dead body.

"Let's begin butchering the Mratri now."

Before Tralio could go forward, i put my arm out front.

"What are you doing, saviour?"

He glances at me with confusion.

The dead bidy began convulsing.

I could see it get back up as its body changed.

The best description is... wrong.

It was wrong...

I checked its name again but...

『Not Enough Authority』

Authority...?

Then, it looked at me.

Its eyes were too long, its fur was off, its mouth was small and its proportions were wrong.

That wasn't the worst part... my mind.

'Realrralrealrelwlrllwrl...'

It trailed off, the word becoming more ruined...

It seems no one else can hear it, its in my mind.

I punched it again and it went flying away... i went too far.

I was fainting again.

But i couldn't...

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Holding onto my counscious with everything, i fight the urge to close my eyes.

"W-whoa! Ritai! Did you see that!"

"I-i did..."

Both of them were in awe...

"Bro, why the hell did you do that?"

I didn't know why, i punched it because my body moved on its own.

Remaining silent, i turn to face my sister.

She looked... conflicted, why?

♤♡◇♧

We were walking somewhere. Where? Well, not that town.

How did my brother do that...

How did he punch that thing away...

Is he my brother...?

"So, you are his sister?"

Ritai said to me... i could understand them.

"O-oh, yeah!"

I could finally speak to them.

"You must be proud that he is your brother."

"...i-i guess."

"No need to be shy."

Was i proud?

When i look at him, i dont really see my brother...

We continued to walk, my brother was being carried with that floaty magic, he fainted.

We decided to camp in what they called 'An Open Rest.'

"What is an open rest?"

"Ah, you must be from an area with little foliage?"

Ritai asked me while setting a barrier.

"I guess."

"Well, An Open Rest is an area where there are no monsters. You can tell when you see a symbol of The Monster Research and Safety Association."

"O-oh, Okay."

More bureaucracy i guess.

"The only real problem are people."

Potar said from behind me, setting up the campfire.

"Thats why we have her setting up barriers when we rest."

"I do that everytime we rest! Its good safety!"

They began bickering again.

○ ○ ○

They're all asleep now... except me.

I lay on my bedding that im sharing with Ritai.

'Am i proud...?'

I began thinking.

'He doesn't feel like my brother...'

I slap my cheek.

'Stop thinking like that!'

Looking at my brother, i check his stats.

『Marcen Lostiru LV Err』

'See? Phew...'

Even i know that didn't do anything.

I still felt doubtful... because of those three letters... 'Err...'

I look up... the stars really are beautiful but they aren't the stars i know...

Closing my eyes, i begin to sleep.

□♡◇♧

Opening my eyes, i wake up in a forest maybe a camp with everyone packing up the camp.

"Hm? Ah! Saviour!"

Tralio was the first to notice me awake.

"Bro?"

With his voice, came another, my sister looked at me.

She was helping them pack up.

I stand up and also help pack up.

"Ah, please rest, you are our saviour."

Me? Im no saviour.

"I'll help."

I ignore his protest as i begin helping aswell.

With my help, it went quicker and we began walking.

"We're close to my home town!"

Pomator spoke as we passed a river.

"Well we aren't going there, are we?"

Rilatia said as he looked at her map.

"How do you do magic?"

My sister asked her question.

"Magic is using the essence of the world, to shift and change it to what you need."

"You say some dumb words and it just works."

Bam! Rilatia swings her rod at Pomator.

He grabs his stomach in pain.

"Both of you. Stop."

The same stern voice spoken by Tralio.

"She hit me though!"

"Potar, go to the back with me."

Tralio ordered Potamor.

It's going to be a long walk.

□□◇♧

Walking to the end of the corridor, The Ruler opens the door to reveal a giant round table with many other Concepts sitting around.

"Ruler."

One of then spoke up.

"Shepard."

He replies as he sits down.

"Why is The Lost still not found."

"You speak as if i would ever do that type of work."

One of them stands up as he slams his hand on the desk.

"Ruler! You are the one closest to what The Lost is!"

"Worried, i truly do not care. My work is my own, why should i listen to you."

The Worried curls his hand into a fist as he hears his reply.

"Do you understand! We all agreed! Except for you and The Wiley One! We all agreed to help the Narrorator!"

The ruler sneered.

"You all must've been under the impression that i would help someone who betrayed me."

"Get over it!"

The Ruler shot a glance at The Question.

"You all grew too soft."

With that final remark, he stands up and leaves the room.

The Worried sits back down as he lets out a sigh.

"What do we do... The Lost has started their plan."

"This was a mistake coming here, we couldn't convince The Ruler to help. I'll take my leave."

The Breaking stood up and left the room.

"I'll also go. Goodbye Worried."

The International followed The Breaking.

Soon, everyone left, leaving the room empty once more.

□□□♧

The Hero fights a horde of demons.

"Trozia!"

A mage manufests a shield behind him as it blocks a claw from a flying demon.

"Thank you greatly Elipsia!"

An arrow flies by her head as it hits a demon.

"Ah!- dont do that if you can't even use a bow properly Yarren!"

"Im trying to branch out! Using a dagger is annoying!"

The man with a bow dives into the shadows as he apears from behind another demon and stabbed its heart.

"These poor creatures... i shall give you rest."

A girl in the middle of the three began praying as light began to shine brightly from her.

Everyones injuries healed as their stamia refilled.

She staggered abit but was held up by Elipsia.

"Jeez Iris, you need to calm down on your fanaticism, haha."

They both chuckled as the other two delt with the rest with new vigor.

The Heros party continued their jounrey.
