27 Chapter 2 Chapter 1




Day 63 of the Otherworld Summoning [Despair of the Summoned One] Part 1:

The northern part of the Western Continent.
Three travellers were advancing through the Dorsch Desert where yellow sand was blowing hard.
The cloak they wore was dirty and worn out, as if to symbolize their grueling journey.
Their steps were heavy.
At the end of these dunes, there should be an oasis in Mireish.
'You are there, aren't you? That guy...
Ryoma's eyes turned to the sand dunes that Saara pointed to.
Her eyes were sad, with a mixture of despair and the slightest hint of hope.


In conclusion, I'll tell you what. I'm sorry, but it's impossible for you to return to your world.
The owner of this dimly lit room, piled high with yellowing parchments and books, said as he sat back in his chair.
The owner of this musty, dimly lit room was a woman dressed in a linen robe.
She was in her mid-thirties to early forties.
She is an ordinary woman with an ordinary appearance.
She is not particularly beautiful or ugly.
She has black hair and black eyes.
It can't be said to be a very distinctive appearance.
The same is true of her clothing.
She is an ordinary woman who can be found anywhere.
But her real value is not in her appearance.
Her real value lies in the knowledge of the Dharma arts, which is said to be the number one or two in the Western Continent, etched in her brain.
That is why Liangzhen came to her.
This woman is said to be the hermit of Mireish.
Anamaria.

''That means you don't have the technology right now, doesn't it?''
I'm not sure if it's a good idea for me to be a part of this.
It's the same words of all the sorcerers I've visited in the past two months since I escaped from Shardina's group.
But the words that came out of her mouth struck Ryojin down.
'No. It's not that I can't return home because I don't have the technology. It's that I can't go home because I can't make the technology.
''What?!''
An angry voice came out of Ryouma's mouth.
It was a rage that Saara and the other sisters had never seen before in all the months they had been traveling together.
During the past two months, Ryoma and the three of them worked for the guild and visited renowned sorcerers to find their way back to earth.
Of course, this was with the exception of those who lived in the imperial territory.
And I had received the same answer from all of them.
In other words, there is no way to return.
But I was also told this.
They hadn't developed the technology.
So Ryoma asked them, can you develop that method? And.
And they said in unison.
We can't do it ourselves.
And he named a few surgeons who could develop it.
One of them was Anamaria.

Calm down," he said. Excitement won't change the conclusion.
Anamaria's expression didn't change at all when she heard Ryouma's angry voice.
It's no wonder that she used to be a civilian official in some country, but she is said to have resigned from her position because of a conflict with the minister regarding the national government.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's okay. It's all right. Can you explain to me why you're not going home?
Desperately suppressing the hatred and anger blowing from deep within his chest, Ryoma finally said just that.
''The reason is clear. ... Before I explain those reasons, I would like to make sure that you understand what is meant by the art of law?
"The understanding of the Dharma...?
The knowledge about the Dharma that Saara and the others had given him flashed through Ryoma's mind.

Dharma is the technique of using the prana, the life force of a living entity.
Depending on how it is used, it can be divided into three systems.
The first is a martial art in which the "Prana" residing in one's body is applied to one's body.
This technique, which does not require chanting, is an overwhelming power in close combat.
Another system is the grammar technique.
In this system, by dedicating the "prana" to non-human beings such as gods, demons, and spirits, a portion of their power is temporarily borrowed.
Since it requires chanting, it is not suitable for close combat.
However, because it borrows the power of an extraterrestrial, it is able to create phenomena that humans cannot, such as releasing fire or manipulating the wind.
And finally, there is the Granting Technique.
This is a technique that allows swords, spears, and other materials that do not possess the prana to be coated with the prana to increase their strength.

Anamaria's face breaks into a smile at Ryoma's explanation.
''Yes. You seem to understand the basics... then I'll ask you a question. Do you know which line of technology belongs to the technology that summons people from other worlds?
Ryoma answered Anamaria's question with frustration.
'The art of grammar!'
Annamaria nodded widely at the answer.
That's right. And to the other world, the question is what do you offer your "prana" to?
What do you mean by that? I am in this world. I have been summoned here for the sake of my world's magic. All you have to do is pray to the god you asked when you summoned me to this world!
Ryoma has a valid point.
But Annamaria's expression remained the same.
''You can leave this world. Certainly.''
''Then!''
The words from Annamaria's mouth knocked Ryoma, who was gaining momentum, into the depths of despair.
''But you will forever be drifting between time and space, though.''
