Chapter Seventy-One: ♂ Lord Four Seasons, I'm Guilty
Santu River, a river that is always shrouded in a thick mist, is covered with all kinds of strange rocks, and no one can cross this river to reach the other side without letting the Grim Reaper carry him over, except for this white-haired man with the potential of the Grim Reaper.
"Yah......h I slept soundly, but I couldn't stay here for too long. ”
Ragnar muttered to herself as she looked at the red-haired girl in front of her who was sleeping soundly.
"Huh? Why is it that there is a very cold breath hovering behind him from just now...... Wait a minute...... Could it be? ”
The sense of fear immediately burst into Ragnar's body, swallowed his saliva and slowly turned his head, and what caught Ragnar's eyes was a token with a spell in both hands, wearing a small green pointed hat, wearing a very gorgeous dress, the same green, but this is a green short-haired Lori who is a little petite than Lumia! (A certain author sprayed nosebleeds)
"Komachi...... It's okay if you're lazy...... He was still with a living person for unknown reasons...... And still men, guilty! ”
After the green-haired Lori finished speaking, with a lofty majesty, she smashed the token in her hand at Onozuka Komachi, who was sleeping.
Ragnar, who was standing by and watching them silently, seemed to be ignored and looked a little desolate.
Onozuka Komachi was woken up by the token of the green-haired Lori, covering the red bag and bursting into tears, Ragnar didn't even believe that this was Lori, and it was a little scary to be so powerful at such a young age.
"Uh......h I'm sorry Shiki-sama...... I'm just a little lazy......" The two white tears flowed straight down to the face, and the mouth shape became wavy, forming a particularly aggrieved expression.
"The explanation is invalid, laziness is laziness, it seems that I have to lecture you well, so as to warn you not to do it again in the future." After speaking, she knelt on the ground with her legs, closed her eyes and began what she called "preaching".
"Don't! Ragnar-kun, help me! Realizing that danger was about to be faced, Komachi hurriedly woke up the weathered Ragnar.
"Huh? Ragnar? You just shouted this man? The green-haired Lori seemed to notice Ragnar's presence and looked back.
"Ahahahaha...... When we first met, my name was Ragnar Char Brand, what is the name of this young lady? ”
Ragnar could see that this green-haired Lori's clothes were the same as the "Four Seasons Adult" that Komachi said just now, presumably Komachi's boss or something.
"Miss...... Ahem, my name is Shiki, Shikihime Amasanadu, and I'm the Supreme Judge of Paradise, huh...... Let me see, you have the power of the Evil Body, the power of death, the breath of resentment, the power of devastating souls, the power of the undead that can summon the undead, and you can hold so many abilities without their control, outsider, you seem to have a great [sin]. ”
The abilities possessed in Ragnar's body were immediately seen through by the unfathomable presiding judge, and Komachi was also shocked by Ragnar's multiple abilities.
"That's amazing...... Is this the presiding judge? Wait, what exactly are you talking about? Please let me know. A polite bow made this Shikiki Yinghime, who had a straight face, also relax a lot.
"Since you want to know, then, let me tell you, the [sin] contained in you ......" Shikihime began to speak earnestly, and Ragnar and Komachi also sat on the ground and listened to Shikihime's story.
"You, before you came to Gensokyo, have killed a lot of innocent lives, but you are killing for another purpose, so this is not the real [sin], your left hand is the only murder weapon you have formed [sin]." The token pointed at Ragnar's left hand, and suddenly, at that moment, Ragnar's left hand was filled with a faint dark power, and then slowly disappeared.
"I killed someone? No...... I can't remember what I experienced before I came to Gensokyo, let alone ...... The Black Monster didn't tell me either...... No...... No......" Ragnar's tone trembled a little, not believing that he had actually killed anyone.
"Ragnar-kun......" Onozuka Komachi looked at Ragnar with a pale face, and his heart was super complicated.
"It's true that you've killed people, but I can't remember it, because before you came to Gensokyo, you lost your memory due to a strange spatial chaos, and I don't know that all the memories of the place where you are, you can only rely on the [sins] in your body to criticize."
“…… Is it? Thank you so much for telling us. ”
It was only then that Ragnar believed this fact, he had no idea how many human souls he had devoured with his left hand.
"It's nothing, but what I'm very concerned about is that you actually have the potential of the god of death, judging from the power you have in your body, as long as you die by accident, it is estimated that you will immediately become a more powerful ferryman than Komachi, that is, the god of death......"
Shiki Yingji's serious eyes contained a little bit of anticipation, maybe she also wanted to see with her own eyes how the man in front of her became the god of death.
"I don't really want to die yet, I still have unfinished business, and there are people who must be protected, and the oath I made with them can't be broken again, so when the god of death is concerned, let's think about it in the long run, Lord Shiji, please understand."
"I know your struggles, but don't you want more power?"
The surroundings seemed to be suspended suddenly, and there was no sound of the breeze, no fragrance of flowers on the other side, no sound of the river rushing water, only the breathing and heartbeat of Ragnar, Onozuka Komachi, and the smiling Shikieihime.
"Powerful ...... Strength? What do you mean by that? Ragnar's breathing never stopped, a pressure pressing on the top of his head, his body, his heart, could only breathe to maintain his calm.
"Hehe~ If you want to get a strong power to protect the people you protect, then you have to pay a great price, and it's the same to become a god of death, to be able to have eternal life, to maintain the youth of a young appearance, enough to surpass the power of death of the big monster, can you stand this power that has tempting people?"
There are words in the words, and the language of Shikieihime can be summed up like this: If Ragnar becomes the god of death, he can be as powerful as Shikihime said, but once he becomes a god of death, he can't leave the Santu River and will always be here to ferry the dead souls, so that even a goblin with a long life can't bear this kind of life without people around him.
"I ......"
Ragnar's heart was flustered, if he wanted to have such power immediately, he just nodded and was killed by Komachi, but he thought of the gentle and considerate Mistia, the cute and touching Reisen, the optimistic Red Misuzu, the shy little devil, and Pache who was forcibly taken away from his first kiss, and he wanted to give up this choice, but in order to better protect them, he could only obtain strong power, and this powerful power was placed in front of him, like a baby coaxed by a toy in the hands of an adult, full of temptation.
"Think about it, and if you have a decision, let me know, and I'll wait here for your reply." Shikihime sat quietly in front of Ragnar without moving, her eyes fixed on Ragnar, as if expecting his determination.
"That Ragnar-kun...... If it's hard to decide, it's better to talk about it later, it's a long experience to become a Grim Reaper. Onozuka Komachi persuaded him on the side, but was dismissed by Shikihime's eyes.
The choice he is about to face is to care about his life, whether to let his lover die alone without anyone around him, or die before them without strong strength, all because of the chaos caused by this short lifespan, then, you have to calm down and think about it.
(What am I going to do...... )”
"Actually, there's no need to be so troublesome, just let Ragnar-kun become the god of death, and then let him have a certain period of freedom, won't you?"
At this time, there was a sudden sound not far from the Santu River, and everyone looked behind, and a transparent air suddenly burst out, conjuring up a black crack full of danger, and a cute (forced association) blonde beautiful girl was drilled inside, however, Ragnar seemed to see this beautiful girl wearing thin pajamas, and the hidden things could be seen almost immediately, but he still turned his head and closed his eyes.
"Oh~ Do you want to see it? Really, if you want to see it, then come to me and help me warm my bed~"
There was a great sense of crisis, a super sense of crisis, and Ragnar realized how hard it was to know such a dangerous person.
"Yakumo Purple...... Why do you keep coming here to interrupt, and your hard-won choices have been disrupted by you......" Shikihime seemed to be angry, as if this good opportunity had disappeared because of Yakumo Murasaki.
"Oops~ You don't have a boyfriend like this, Yinghime-chan, let Ragnar-kun stay in Santuchuan forever, and then you can sell benefits every day, right?"
"Please don't call me that, and...... When have I ever sold benefits? I'm not so shameless. Ragnar also vaguely saw a slight redness on Shiki's cheeks.
A small town can only express it like this, your circle is too chaotic.
"It's a waste to be a Lori, if Ragnar-kun isn't Loricon, I think I'll be able to tackle you soon.。
"I'm not Lolita!" Ragnar grumbled with wide eyes.
"Ahem...... The other method you mentioned seems a little unreasonable. ”
"What's so unreasonable that Ragnar-kun can get a strong force to protect his lovers and friends, and he can come back to work after the free time, not to mention that you also have a god of death, isn't it beautiful?" Yakumo Zi burst out with a sentence that the ancient Chinese said, although it had no special meaning.
"That's right...... However, to become a god of death, you have to let him die. ”
"It's not enough to give him half of his strength for the time being, and when the time comes, it's not too late to let him die."
“…… Well, so it was decided. ”
After a lot of discussions, Ragnar was finally able to live his life and get the strength he deserved.
Shikieihime coughed twice and said, "Although you have temporarily obtained the power of the god of death, I have set your free time for you, and in the next fifty years, you will return to the other side and work with Komachi."
"Fifty years...... Hawkers, that's fine, being able to accompany Misty for so long can be regarded as a lifetime of happiness. ”
"Ragnar-kun...... See you in fifty years~"
"We'll see each other again in fifty years, so I'll ask Miss Komachi and Shiki-sama to take care of you after that."
(Fifty years later...... You will become the strongest Grim Reaper...... Hehe~ Ragnar Char Brand Edge, you're getting more and more interesting. Yakumo Murasaki looked at Ragnar with a smile on his face, and thought to himself.
A bottle of black liquid suddenly appeared in Shiji's hand, and her tone became serious: "So, this is the essence of the power of death, I will give half of it, and the other half will be handed over to you in fifty years, are you mentally prepared?"
Faced with Shiki's question, and Komachi's encouragement, Ragnar also calmly faced his fate and nodded with a smile.
"Yes, I've ready!"
