Chapter 4 - Ch4: Not Alone

"May Gaphine have mercy on your soul"

What he saw is Lune defeat a lich with nothing but his bare hands

What is he doing here and he is able to killed a lich?

"Young lord Edmond what are you doing here?"

Lune finally notice Edmond

"I think I should ask the same question to you Lune"

"I came here to eliminate the evil"

"Same here"

....

"I think we meant to ask other questions"

"Let's find somewhere else to talk properly then"

They go somewhere save but still in the forest and both of them said at the same time

"Who actually are you?"

Lune choose a bold move and just decided to tell the truth

"Would you believe me if I told you I used to live in another world before then reincarnated in this body"

It all make sense now

Edmond thinking back to what the mysterious voice said

"I understand that you're still confused but that all I could save for you and some of your friends"

He's not the only one that's reincarnated but his friends are also the same

"Me too, I'm in similar situations"

"So we both reincarnated huh?"

"And we are friends in past life too"

"How did you know that? I don't even remember my name in my past life, can you?"

Then for a moment, there's a like a feeling little glim of electricity going though they brains and suddenly the missing part of thier memory got filled, but instead of the actual name, it's was a number instead

"What was that?"

"I'm remembered ours name but actually not at the same time, why was it a number"

"What's your name Edmond?"

"I'm 144 and Lune you're 446 right?"

"Yeah, I'm 446, man this felt so weird calling each by a number right this, it's like we're a robot or something"

Edmond was so excited that he got to meet his old friend again

"446! When was the last time we met again!? I missed you so much!"

"Eh…? At the all you can eat buffet that you invited everyone to go? Maybe?, but definitely before that happen though"

"Oh right… let's not talk about that"

"So 14- no Edmond, let's use our current name from now on, not that those number are our actual name though, what should we do from now on?"

"We might need to find other friends first and figured it out how to save the world"

"Save the world? What are you talking about?"

"You don't know? There's no mysterious voice talking to you after you died?"

"No, not at all…"

"Okay then"

Edmond explained everything to Lune

"You've read Love and revenge of Alan!?"

"Yeah, just finished it before I died, you've read it too?"

"Eh…. Yeah, I'm also finished it"

"Great now we have two person that somewhat know what's going to happen, so what's you plan now?"

"Well with all these new information flew into my head, It's definitely take time to adjust my plan, but I think what we should do first is definitely need to find 042 first and stop what he's up to as fast as possible"

"Yeah that's actually my plan since I was born, but after I think I'm strong enough to stop him, but since you're here, I'm think we're ready to face him, but it definitely take time though"

"Ah! And don't forget what 550 might do to you too, I also still don't forgive you for what you did to him"

"No! I didn't d- whatever you already taking side let move on, and I even said earlier let's not talk about That"

"Just to a remind you about 550, I'm actually worried about you, anyway how can we find 042 though?"

"We didn't need to find him, just do what we like and he's probably find us first"

"But earlier you talking like you going to start searching for him though?

"Yes searching for him, that what I like to do, I searching for him, he found me first, that how it going to play out "

"I hate the fact that is a ridiculous assumption but it's probably going to happen, so what's you searching plan?"

"Just find something that doesn't match the original story and investigate, we will end up facing him eventually"

"Do you think he read Love and revenge of Alan too?"

"No he don't read novel"

"If you say so, and if you need help I'll be there"

"Well why don't we start investigating this forest first because this is clearly strange"

"Well maybe because there's some kind of legendary relic here that attracts monsters here to protect it, that probably how is it"

"Now that I think about it, you're right, is it that simple, and the monsters are here to protect that something that why they're not attacking the town"

"But there's nothing in the Love and revenge of Alan that mentioned anything like this, so it's still strange, so I try to investigate it like right now"

"Oh so that what you're actually doing in this forest?"

"Yeah, and if it was really some kind of legendary relic, then it's definitely nice to have"

"Nah, that's definitely your main goal here"

"It's can't be helped, I'm just a another human after all"

"So have you investigate that suspicious looking structure that definitely a labyrinth that have something that attracted all these monster inside yet?"

Edmond point at the entrance of a structure that leads to underground

"What are you talking about?"

Lune look at the way Edmond was pointing at

"Holy s- you're right, was it always there's?"

"Don't know, just noticed it a few minutes earlier while I was talking to you"

"A moving labyrinth huh?"

"Very likely, that might be also why there's no mention of any of this in Love and revenge of Alan, because it probably only here for a few weeks and about to move away to other place right now, so you know what we should do right Lune?"

"No I'm not doing it, at least not right now"

"W-what I thought you wanted the legendary relic!?"

"That assumes if it have any inside there at all, and you expect me to carry you right? I can't, I'm already too exhausted from fighting that lich"

"Oh… okay then, I'll go in there alone"

Edmond think if he going alone Lune will still follow him inside anyway

Lune grab Edmond throat and slammed him to a tree

"If you insist on going in there, I'll be the one who end you right now since you definitely won't survive anyway"

"Pity game didn't work huh?"

"Are you sure you're 144 and not 042? You bastard"

"I already decided to not be myself since I decided to save the world"

"Then let's me ask you this 144 or whoever you're, if we really go in there and the situation get bad will you able to abandoned me to my demise in exchange of your world saving plan going forward ,would you able do it!? huh!?"

"… I-I can't, I'm sorry"

Edmond about to cry

"You really are 144 huh?"

Lune look at the Labyrinth and patting on Edmond back

"Don't worry about this labyrinth, it's definitely not important at all we can missed this opportunity, and if we really fated too clear it, we will find it again eventually, with our stronger self and stronger team"

"Y-yeah you're right"

"You don't need to throw yourself away to achieve your dreams you know? And aren't you the one who told me this"

"Me? When?"

"I don't remember either but it's definitely you, maybe as a joke or something?"

"But you take it to heart huh?"

"Everyone take your words to heart, you're the most reliable person"

"Well I'm tired now, let's get home for today, the most reliable person is not so reliable anymore"

"Okay see you soon"

As they part way for to night, the Labyrinth also disappeared from Davies territory, but what they don't know is there's something listening to all of thier conversations deep in the very center of the labyrinth

And that something is using the words that the two said to speak, like it was recorded everything

"We....Eventually.....meet....again"
