281話 錬金術士の憂鬱(ゆううつ)
「これが錬金術師風の会話というわけだよ。
ヒラガ団長とやらの首を持ちあげ............俺の身長が足りなかったので、掴むだけの姿勢で止まっていたけど、ほんの少しだけ力を強める。
これだけでダメージは与えているだろうし、力を示すには十分なはず。
にヒラガ団長のHPバーは赤色に点滅している。
「そうは言ってもヒラガ団長、『錬金術』スキルくっそ使えないですよね。さっきのアビリティも錬金術関係ないですし」
隣にいたゴッホさんは呆れた様子でせせら笑う。
「くっ。それを言ってはダメだぞ、ゴッホくん」
「今更、隠す必要はないかと。団長はことごとく『合成』を失敗するし、『錬金術以外は何でもできる男』とか秘密結社のメンバーには呼ばれてますし」
「しかし、しかしッ、まぁ私の話はどうでもいい。銀嶺の少女よ、ゴッホ君の誘いに乗ったという事は、我らが秘密結社に入ると考えてよいのかね?」
キリリと目だけで俺を見据えるヒラガ団長。
ちなみに未だに首は俺に掴まれたままだ。
な、なんか......すごくメンタルが強い人というか、変わった
「エレキテル! これは異なことを! 素晴らしい錬金術の結果を、実験をやめろと......ふむ、しかし、それが銀嶺の少女の入団条件であるならば承知した」
「なっ! ヒラガ団長、正気ですか!? 私達が、
「ええと、他の団員さんに確認しなくてもいいのですか?」
「ふむ。まぁ反対するのはゴッホ君だけだろうし......? 問題あるまい」
ヒラガ団長の発言に俺は思考する。
この様子だと、無条件で彩菌をばらまくのを止めろというのは無理そうだ。
「ちょっと、団長! この
全体の利益を重んじるのだ!」
勝手にもめる2人に割り込み、俺は大仰な所作でヒラガ団長の首を離す。
「その、秘密結社というからには、もちろん選ばれた人間のみ! が入れる少数精鋭ですよね?」
「エレキテル! 我を含めて、6人だ」
ふむふむ。
嘘じゃなさそう
俺はニコリと笑顔を張り付けながら、ヒラガ団長へとフレンド申請を送る。
受諾メッセージを確認した俺は、再び彼らに質問をする。
「あの......俺は入団しないけど、
「はっはっは。なんのメリットもないので、やめないな」
気が重いなぁ......。
この人たちと............はぁ、でもいっかな?
全体的にはメリットも多いわけで。
錬金術の研究は1人より2人、2人より3人、多い方が進むだろうし?
「そうですか。でも俺、正直に言えば入団はお断りしたいのです......」
「「む!?」」
俺は呆ける2人に背を向けて、親友たちの方へと歩み出す。
これはもう仕方ないかな......自由を求めるならそれなりの代償を払わなければいけない、か。
それでも笑顔で迎え入れてくれる親友たちを見て、俺は覚悟を決める。
「おう、そうか」
晃夜
子供扱いするな、と文句を言いそうになって口をつぐむ。
こいつなりに、慰めてくれているのだろう。
「で、やっぱり『みんな仲良く』作戦なわけ?」
俺の意を汲んで確認を取って来る
見守ってくれた親友に深く頷く。
俺のわがままで......。
この2人には全面的に協力してもらっているから、少し申し訳ない気持ちになってしまう。
それでも、ここまできたら選択肢はこれしかない......。
「うん......だって、現実の惨状を止めるにはこれしかないもん......」
そう言って、ゴッホさんやヒラガ団長に『一時間後にまた集合してお話をしたい』と約束する。それまでの間、『
この事は姉や俺の周囲のフレンドに伝えておかないと......あとで、面倒な争乱を生みそうだから。
そういった準備や伝達のための1時間をもらった。
284 281 Stories Alchemist'S Depression (Depression)
"This is the alchemist-style conversation. Girl from Silver Ridge."
I held Captain Hiraga and his neck............ I wasn't tall enough so I stopped in a position to just grab it but only strengthen it a little bit.
This alone would be damaging, and should be enough to show strength.
Captain Hiraga's HP bar is flashing red on both sides.
"That being said, Captain Hiraga, you can't use your 'alchemy' skills, can you? It's not about alchemy."
Mr. Gogh, who was next door, giggles in disgust.
"Fuck. You can't say that, Gogh."
"Now I wonder if I need to hide it. All the captains fail to 'synthesize', and they call me 'a man who can do anything but alchemy' or a member of a secret society."
"But heh, well, I don't care what my story is. Girl from Silver Ridge, can I assume that your invitation to ride into our secret society?
Captain Hiraga, who looks at me only with his chillies and eyes.
By the way, my neck still remains grabbed by me.
Well... someone with a very strong mentality or an unusual mercenary (player).
"Elektel! This is something different! I told him to stop experimenting with the results of the great alchemy... Hmm, but if that's the condition for the Girl in Silver Ridge to join the club, I understand."
"Become! Captain Hiraga, are you insane!? This is our chance to get back at the mercenaries!?
"Uh, don't you have to check with the other members?
"Hmm. Well, Gogh, you're the only one who disagrees...? Problem."
I think about what Captain Hiraga said.
With this look, it seems impossible to tell them to stop spreading colored bacteria unconditionally.
"Hey, Captain! I brought you this colored fungus (virus)!?
"We must weigh the interests of the entire Order of Secrets!
Interrupt into the two of you on your own, and I will release Captain Hiraga from his neck for what he has done.
"That, the secret society, is of course only the chosen one! is a handful of elite people to put in, right?
"Elektral! Including me, six."
Hmm.
It doesn't look like a lie (...) (...).
I send a friend application to Captain Hiraga, smiling at Nicole.
I checked your acceptance message, and I'll ask them questions again.
"Um... I'm not joining the group, but if I asked you to stop spreading colored bacteria (virus), would you stop it?
"Ha ha. It won't do you any good, so don't stop."
I feel heavy......
With these people.................. ha, but why not?
Overall, there are many benefits.
Alchemy research would go better than one, two, three, more than two, right?
"Really? But I, honestly, would like to refuse to join the group..."
"" Mm!?
I turn my back on the two frightened people and walk out to my best friends.
I don't know what else to do with this...... if you want freedom you have to pay a fair price, huh?
Still smiling and seeing the best friends welcoming me in, I decide to be ready.
"Oh, well."
Night shakes gently.
Don't treat me like a child, I almost complain and hold my mouth.
Be this guy, you must be consoling me.
"So, we're all friends" ops after all?
Yuki comes to get confirmation from me.
I snort deeply at my best friend for watching me.
With my selfishness...
I feel a little sorry for these two because I have their full cooperation.
Still, this is the only option I have when I get here......
"Yeah... 'Cause this is the only way to stop the tragedy of reality..."
That being said, I promise Mr Gogh and Captain Hiraga, 'I want to meet again in an hour'. In the meantime, I have also succeeded in offering conditions without spreading the 'Colored Bacteria (Virus)'.
I need to tell my sister and my surrounding friends about this... because later, it's going to create a troublesome conflict.
I got an hour to prepare and communicate like that.
