Chapter 371: (Cursed Child) What I Must Do
The Reincarnated Extra
(Cursed Child) What I Must Do
* * *
âSimulated Soul Mana Siphoning Device, Last Dreamâ.
Extra-sama, who said sheâd explain the horror of it, started by saying that to me.
Eh?
But, Extra-sama, you said it earlier too, didnât you?
That it âgrants any wishâ.
Thenâ¦
�
â¦Hmm.
Itâs a bit roundabout, but I get it now.
That green jewel is a device for âsiphoning manaâ.
So, that jesterâs goal is⦠to siphon mana using Last Dream.
Come to think of it, he already said that his goal was âto plunder magical resourcesâ.
But.
I donât get it, Extra-sama.
How does Last Dream siphon mana?
Isnât it giving mana to its user?
â¦That was before we left Trash Village.
I vaguely remember.
I donât know.
Huh?
Wait!
Wait, wait, Extra-sama!
Thatâs too long and complicated!
In other words?
â¦!
Last Dream starts absorbing the surrounding ma-so!?
â¦Everything?
!?
If that happensâ¦!!
â¦!!
â¦Thatâs bad.
â¦â¦â¦â¦
I was sweating profusely, half-heartedly listening to Extra-samaâs explanation.
Because.
Because.
Hey, Extra-sama.
Anyway, to summarize.
That monster.
Probably uses mana every time it fights, right?
Just by existing, destruction is approaching?
â¦Itâs a bomb.
But we canât escape?
â¦Hey, doesnât that meanâ¦
Weâre screwedâ¦?
âMIGYAH-BOBO-GOTOROU-JAEEN-MOOOOã¼ã¼ã¼!!â
With the monster casually letting out creepy screams in the corner of my vision, I stopped eating grass, dumbfounded.
The conversation between Extra-sama and me, stopped.
The heavy silence was crushing.
But Extra-sama.
Denied my despair-filled mutter.
And then, apologetically⦠but clearly.
She declared.
After listening to Extra-samaâs detailed explanation.
I understood and was convinced.
What I must do.
And why Extra-sama was apologetic.
I donât like it.
But I have no choice but to do it.
Thereâs no other way.
The first thing I did, having made up my mind, was ãPresence Concealmentã, which Iâm not very good at.
Minimizing my presence as much as possible.
I started to secretly approach the giant green monster.
