"Don't you know, that guy is sick, probably ...... I can't hold on for long. ”

Enjoying the blue sea and blue sky on the beach in the summer, he was playing leisurely, and unexpectedly received the news, his first reaction was not to go back to see him, but that the other party was joking, the last time I saw him, he was still full of energy, a young ghost-like spirit.

Wait, last time?

Suddenly, he was stunned, there was no drag from external objects, there was no limit to life, under the protection of incomparable power, he could enjoy life in this world to the fullest, and he inadvertently, more than ten years had passed.

Without hesitation, he quickly flew towards the city.

In a hotel in a certain city, the previous owner of the hotel, it was a store that had no special fun decorations, but it had always been very popular, and on the second floor of that store, a friend of his was lying in bed because of illness.

【Spicy! What kind of dish is this! It's spicy! Add me some more sugar, stupid! 】

It looks quite serious on the outside, but it's a stupid guy who hates spicy food and likes sweets.

[Well, from today, my hotel is about to open, so let's pay more attention.] 】

The rhetoric is a little rude, but the bold and optimistic style is very likeable, from the apprentice who works everywhere to the old Jianghu who has his own shop, as a friend, he likes him very much.

The man, who had been hiding it until now, was so sick that he couldn't even stand up on his own legs.

He hesitated a little to see him.

The result was an immediate yell.

"What are you doing here, you want to see my jokes! Get out!! "If you are embarrassed to see a child, it is common to scream.

“****…… Why...... That's what I'm going to do. Is the man who sobs like a child with his nose and his red eyes with his hands?

It was a 34-degree heat, but the whole room was airtight, and the whole room was filled with the smell of urine, medicine, and dust, which together looked like the smell of rotting corpses.

The man who once walked like the wind and made a sound like a bell now shrunk his whole body, lying on the bed weakly like a broken puppet, unable to move.

Seeing that posture, he finally understood for the first time in a real sense that his time and the other party's time could not overlap, and that the disease of stroke in old age was not a troublesome disease for him at all, and for him, who had learned from the world he had been to, even the so-called terminal illness would not be much more difficult to cure than a cold, even if his life was exhausted, it was not a problem, and he had many ways to prolong his life, but ......

But he didn't make a move.

Because this world is a very ordinary, very peaceful world, there is no magic and no gods, for him who doesn't like to interfere in the process of the world, he will not use his power to disturb the life trajectory of others for a human in this kind of place.

Moreover, even if he takes 10,000 steps back and helps him, what is the use, he still has his wife, children, relatives and friends, he can't endure the life of a person like himself, so does he still have to give them longevity one by one? That's really impossible.

He who has jumped out of the cage called [World] is a different existence from the person in the [cage] who is still there, even if there is a brief intersection, the two sides are as far away as heaven and earth.

"Take care of yourself, I'll come back next time." After saying this expressionlessly, Naraku left quietly, and after that, Naraku kept his face expressionless for a week.

Two months later, news of the other party's death came, and he did not attend the funeral.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"It's a bad dream." Breathing in the fresh air that was always cool with the help of the elves, and without opening her eyes, Naraku muttered a little weakly, "It reminds me of things I don't want to think about again." ”

The dream reminded him once again that he was no longer different from ordinary humans, and it couldn't have spent the same amount of time with them, and it reminded him once again of the things about the Fitts that he had deliberately forgotten in the corner of his brain.

So far, Naraku has not made any dehumanizing actions towards them, which means that Naya and the others are still just ordinary humans, and their lifespan is only about a hundred years.

In other words, they are not the same as Naraku, if they are together, after a hundred years, they will leave him and he will be a person again.

Although he has long been accustomed to a person, no matter what, no matter how distorted his personality is, he will be very unhappy that the person closest to him will leave.

"Should I force them to become immortals?" Opening her eyes, Naraku looked at the ceiling and muttered weakly.

At this point, the dormitory was quiet, and the atmosphere became heavy for a while, and even the elves who were called by Naraku to keep the air fresh in the dormitory did not dare to play wantonly anymore because of Naraku's mood.

After a long time......

“…… Uh-ha, uh-haha...... It's really interesting, and I'm looking forward to what kind of moves I'll make with the ability to travel through time. A scarlet light flashed in his dark eyes, and the corners of Naraku's mouth pulled a terrifying arc, "Unknown future......"

"Ha~~ It's boring." All of a sudden, the atmosphere relaxed, Naraku's face became weak, and the solemn atmosphere that had been made before was all eliminated as if it was a joke, "I'm an idiot, think about the kind of future things that don't know if they will happen, and leave the future to me in the future, it's not a matter to worry about it all the time, it's good to go out and relax." ”

After making her decision, Naraku immediately jumped out of bed, went to the bathroom to brush her teeth, washed her face, and walked out of the dormitory.

However, after leaving the dormitory, Naraku didn't have much to go to, so he finally found a big tree in a quieter part of the park and sat down to rest.

Of course, before resting, he arranged a crystal wall around his body and performed a few simple procedures to prevent others from approaching here.

By the time he woke up, it was already completely dark, and he didn't know how much time had passed, and he didn't wake up naturally, but he was stimulated by a sense of crisis and woke up, or he could have woken up after being stimulated by a murderous aura.

When he opened his eyes, Naraku saw only the crystal wall that had been completely cut open and shattered, and the cold light that was shooting straight towards his neck.

"......" Naraku, who had just been awakened from her sleep, didn't seem to react at all, just stared at the cold light with wide eyes, and was slashed by the cold light across her neck.
