Dropped Into Another World V3C34

Chapter 34 – Sphere? Flat?

「Your lordship! I’m sorry! You were calling for me, right?」

The voice that suddenly resounded made everyone startled.

It can’t be helped.

No one can see Rope.

No, if it shows up…..wait, what if it suddenly appears in front of me….

The result will be the same.

Let’s give up.

「Rope, I need you to check something for me.」

「What is it?」

Come to think of it, Rope was not aware of the previous earthquake.

Would it be easier to explain that there was an earthquake?

「There was an earthquake earlier and a crack was formed.」

「What!? I’ll find it and deal with it right away.」

「No need. I’ve already taken care of it.」

「Is that so? That’s fast. What am I supposed to do? Do you want me to check it?」

Rope’s impatient voice makes me laugh a little.

Rope can’t be seen but its voice conveys emotions.

It would be easier to read it if I could see its expression….ah, Rope’s a magic stone.

I don’t think I can read the emotion of a magic stone.

「I wanted to make sure that the crack was properly sealed. I also wanted to know if there is a way to check if it is still sealed.」

It would take too much time to observe every crack to check if they are leaking.

It would be useful if there’s a method to check it out.

「Hmmm, I’ve tried a lot of things but I haven’t found a method that works yet. Right now, the best way is to observe it.」

Too bad.

「I only assume it’s okay if it doesn’t leak for the next five hours. If it leaks within five hours, I’ll consider sealing it as a failure.」

Rope can fail too.

I’m surprised.

Even so, observing it for 5 hours is too long.

「Understood.」

「By the way, your lordship, how many cracks did you find?」

Eh?

How many?

「One but…..is there a possibility that there are more?」

「I don’t know. When I looked for cracks before, I couldn’t confirm whether there was one crack that causes all earthquakes or if a crack appears in every earthquake. I thought maybe we can confirm it this time…..」

There are a lot of things we don’t know about this earthquake so we better investigate.

But still, I assumed that there was only one crack.

I need to think about things in a broader perspective.

「Speaking of which, you mentioned that the number of earthquakes has been increasing day by day but, has that changed since I fixed it?」

Eh?

When Rope asked that, I stiffened.

I tried my best to search my memories of it but I can’t remember what Rope said.

When did I tell Rope about that?

…..Eh, I really don’t remember!

When? When!

「Your lordship?」

「Haha, my bad…..I don’t remember.」

How could I forget it?

From What it said, it must have happened recently, right?

How can I be forgetful?

And it’s something important too.

…..did I forget because of magic….or am I having some sort of disease?

No no, calm down.

What am I thinking?

Maybe because I got in contact with the cursed magic power earlier.

I must have inhaled it after it mixed with the air around me.

Right.

It must be because of that.

No, I feel like something has changed…..

「Hmmm, possible. You were sleeping at that time so it’s normal that you don’t remember.」

「That’s it!」

「Eh?」

「No, it’s nothing. I was probably asleep so I forgot about it.」

Yeah, I’m sure that’s the reason.

…..I’m okay, right?

However, am I really sleep talking that time?

「Ehto…..」

Yeah, let’s just look for cracks.

Though it doesn’t look like there’s still one.

「Rople, let’s check if there are any other cracks.」

「Understood.」

「Rope, can you show us the cracks you repaired? Since we won’t know if it will leak or not after some time, we might still get something out of it after checking how it was repaired.」

「That’s okay but how?」

「With this.」

I point to the screen in front of me.

Can it see it?

「What the! That’s an image of the wall!」

「I figured out that looking for cracks would be easier if we use visual senses.」

A breeze quickly passed in front of me.

Hnn?

Is that Rope?

「It’s so bright! Did you put lights on it?」

「Yeah, that would make it easier to check, right?」

「Yeah, when I was looking at it, there was a turbid magic power around….areh? There’s no turbid magic power!」

The wind blows softly in front of the screen again.

Feeling it, I look at the front of the screen while feeling strange.

I can’t see it but I’m sure Rope’s there.

It’s still inconvenient that I can’t see it.

I wonder if it could just take the form of a small animal.

That way, I’d be less surprised if it suddenly appeared….No, I can’t say that I won’t.

As a small-minded guy, no matter how cute a small animal is, if it suddenly appears, I will be frightened.

「I’ve purified the turbid magic power.」

「Purified? Why would you……..curse? No way!」

「Yes way.」

「….again.」

Rope was forced to be part of that evil eye cursing of the entire forest so it will be affected.

「Since it’s a curse, I feel better since I know how to deal with it.」

「That’s certainly true. You broke the evil eye magic curse of the entire forest after all.」

Well, I’m not really sure how I did it.

Goddess Aion told me about the magic that broke the curse but I don’t remember anything related to it.

All I remember is using magic excessively when I feel like it.

Even if I was asked to do the same thing again, I don’t think I could do it.

Speaking of which, can Rope tell the difference from the crack that has been repaired by just looking at the video projection?

「Can you check it out just by looking at the video?」

「I don’t know so I’m going to follow the magic where this video was coming from and directly look at the crack. Don’t mind it too much.」

「Okay.」

I’ll leave the rest to you.

「May I speak?」

I turned my gaze to Light Blue who suddenly barged in. It looks like he’s staring at several creatures who are peeking out of the lake.

Looking at them, their eyes are a little turbid.

Perhaps they have already been affected by the curse.

I had purified the lake once but even after that, the cursed magic power had already risen with the bubbles.

「I’ll purify them.」

「I’m sorry. Purification requires a lot of magic power so I can’t do it myself.」

「Don’t worry about it.」

I’ve survived because I’ve used a lot of magic power by using purification magic.

I touched the lake.

「Purification.」

It purified not only the curse on the water of the lake but even from all the living creatures in it.

For a moment, the lake is enveloped in a pale white light but it soon disappears.

The water of the lake and those who are living in it are now safe.

The problem is the curse that is dispersed into the air.

Should I just purify the area around here?

Or on a wider scale?

….I think I should purify a wide area just to be sure.

It’s not like my magic power will diminish.

「Yeah….」

Wait.

I can’t just do it around here, right?

The curse must have exited the cracks that Rope repaired.

…..there’s a possibility that the forest is already filled with it, right? No, the cracks are small so the impact should be small too.

But there’s a saying, dust will accumulate so I can never be too sure.

The whole forest…..before, it was covered by a barrier so the curse of the evil eye magic did not come out of the forest.

However, the wall has long been lost.

Should I purify this whole planet?

That’s too wide, isn’t it?

I’m going to check the magic power inside my body.

Full.

「Alright.」

「You’re lordship, are you thinking of something strange?」

Light Blue looks at me suspiciously.

I nod.

Is it strange?

「No, not really. All I’m thinking about is purification…..」

Since I already said I’m only thinking about purification, why are you still looking at me with a suspicious gaze?

「Really?」

「Really!」

What?

Well, let’s just cast purification immediately.

The scope is, this whole planet.

Imagine a spherical planet…..it’s a sphere, right?

Speaking of which, I heard that the core is a circle and not a sphere.

There’s no way this world is flat, right?

I’ll just use….sphere. Even a flat surface would be manageable if we purify it using sphere.

Imagine a planet like earth….this would purify earth.

I shook my head and changed what I’m imagining.

Make this world seen by a drone. Then, imagine it as a sphere.

Difficult, impossible.

Another easy way….imagine it traveling around the world from where I am.

If I imagine the wrong size, it might jump out of the planet.

Let’s see, make it smaller….imagine wrapping the world in a spherical wall and purifying everything inside that wall.

Yeah, I’ve done it.

「World purification.」

「I knew it!」

Hnn?

I thought I heard Light Blue’s voice.

Whoah, all my magic power disappeared from my body in an instant.

I’m not used to this feeling.

Fuuhh, the world is a big place.

「Areh?」

About half of my magic power came back.

It wasn’t consumed?

….Does this mean that this world isn’t a sphere?

Eh? Seriously?

 

AN: About the shape of the core. It is not a sphere but a circle. The part where it was explained is too lacking. I’m totally unaware of this so thanks for asking.

TN: Pretty sure I’ve translated it as a sphere and not circle so I guess I’ll change it from now on.
