A NEET’s Guide to the Parallel World: Healer, the Strongest Cheat?

Chapter 70: Going mad

Ichijo, thanks for earlier.

No, Im happy to have been of use to you.

Sieg looked like he wanted to attack me after what happened it was thanks to Ichijo that things didnt come to that.

But why, the princess?

If you ever meet Hidaka, you will probably understand. Hes probably as persecuted as I am.

Persecuted?

Ichijo doesnt seem to understand, but of course hes never been persecuted. Someone was always there to praise him. Its not that its bad not to know I just grew up in a different environment.

Nito!

5 magical signatures appeared behind him, 5 magical spears were coming, probably wind magic.

Erosion wave

I created a wave that spread out to erase the spears, although it was probably a waste since I could have deflected it with my bare hands. No, Bell told me why I would have done it, the abyss erases anything I want it to erase and nothing that I dont want it too.

Guwaaaa

There was a scream, but not from one of the 5 people. Ichijo had lost his left arm and was bleeding from his shoulder.

Ichijo..

It was me Erosion, my Erosion had erased his arm. Why did it do that? I thought bell had said it didnt erase what I didnt want it too? Why did it do something I didnt want it too?

Nito?

Ichijo looks at me confused but, this wave has never touched my friends. Alford helped Ichijo to stand.

Nito.

Ichijo pointed behind me, the enemy wasnt dead yet. I applied [mischief inversion] to the first magic that came to mind.

The birth of regret

I cast it on all the enemies at once.

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!!!

Id applied it to Binding magic, all five of them were restrained and began to scream. But it changed to the screams of a child. 8 pale white fingers appeared out of their mouths, pulling tearing them open, what ever it was, it wasnt human.

It ripped their faces open breaking their jaw, nose forehead, causing blood to squirter out. Then five strange pale white creatures crawled out as if shedding human skin.

I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born! I was born!

Long slinder fingers with long black hair that didnt match its body. They were covered in blood, although they did come out of human bodies just now. 5 children looking around for something, chanting as if they regret being born.

Healing wave

I immediately treated Ichijos arm but it never returned.

Nito what did you do!?

It was Alford.

I

Did you intentionally aim at Ichijo?!

I didnt mean to!

Its ok Alford. The bleeding has stopped and I still have my right arm.

Ichijo rubbed his armless left shoulder with his right.

Im sorry Ichijo..Im sorry.

Dont worry about it, I should have fallen back when Sieg shouted.

No this was my fault, Ichijos arm will never comeback, I did that.

Master! Master! Master! Master! Master!

The five children came up to me calling me Master.

What?

Master, we were born, who do we kill?

Their eyes were terrifying, they were pitch black.

Master, who do we kill?

I dont quite understand what Im being asked.

Nito..what are they?

Sieg wrinkled his eyebrows.

Master, kill this? Kill this?

..stop. Just go where ever you want.

Im not currently able to deal with something I dont understand.

Where we want?

The five of them looked at each others faces and then ran away, problem solved?

What were those things?

Eliza looked disgusted.

Alford and Eliza, look after Ichijo here.

Got it.

Wait, I can walk.

No, you rest here. Nito Im going to destroy the factory.

Ok.

Ill go with you.

Sufilia hugged my arm.

*

Did you try to kill Ichijo?

No, I meant to protect him.

But he lost his arm?

I dont know how to answer that.

I dont know. This magic is supposed to follow my will but, I didnt intend to hurt him or any of you. But still his arm..

I dont understand but doesnt thst mean that it was your will? Sufilia said with a big smile.

My willno! I didnt intend to kill him! He was different!

But the fact is, if I was off even a little I would have killed Ichijo.

Youre seriously ill.

Sieg sighed.

I got it. If you deny it that much then thats how it is. Im glad you didnt intend to kill him so lets talk about something else, because all the talk in the world wont bring his arm back.

What happened to me, Im normal right? No I should be normal.

Lets go destroy the factory.

Yeah.

I suddenly remembered Bells words.

Do you doubt the abyss?

I dont know what he meant by that but, it didnt feel like it was meant to trick me.
