Another World Escape Ninja - Another World Escape Ninja chapter 92
92 – Episode 92. Who watches the Watchmen? (3)
I woke up Orpheus and discussed this matter with her. The next morning, she informed Treebo and the Yongjugol ninjas about Heidi’s truth.
Even if the Watcher disappears from Heidi’s body, leaving Yongjugol is impossible. The intention was for us to gather and brainstorm.
It could have become a problem of Heidi being ostracized, but I will handle the bullies, so there won’t be any issues.
“I fixed the Welcome Magic Circle. It’s a secluded place, but just in case.”
Bigbangdae, who came in last, seemed to sense something and made an excuse before taking a seat. The point was the sweat dripping down, as if to prove that he wasn’t lying.
This middle-aged lady is responsible for maintaining and repairing the Welcome Magic Circle at the end of the cave entrance to our Yongjugol. She seems to be quite knowledgeable about magic.
Even though she is more of a scientist than a combatant, seeing her skillfully defeat spider monsters with a magic wand makes me think she’s quite capable.
The reason I joined the ninja village was to wash away my past mistakes, but it took me a while to interpret those unnecessarily difficult words.
Finally, Orpheus, who confirmed that everyone was gathered, began to explain, and everyone nodded as if they understood.
“I can’t think of any sharp strategies.”
“Indeed. Does it mean that humans make mistakes, while monitors commit murder?”
“If you have any ideas, please speak up. Even if you don’t know how to save, you know how to end it.”
“Even Oculius doesn’t know. He’s never possessed by a monitor before…”
“Ew.”
Maximus, Lunox, Hook, Joker, Oculius, in that order, but none of them were helpful.
[There is no way to undo the possession of a monitor. The only way is to be devoured by consciousness and have the initiative taken away, or to form an equal relationship and merge. There is no precedent for taking away the initiative in reverse like you.]
Even Treebo, who lived longer than most dentures, was of no help in this situation.
“Hmm.”
Monitors.
I succeeded in killing the five leaders of those bastards, but I couldn’t kill all the monitors. It was recently that I killed dozens of monitors who were waiting at the headquarters of Nouvelle-Pierre.
-Most of them were considered failures, and I moved on to motherhood! We must be the last ones remaining on this planet!
There was a monitor’s declaration obtained through an “interview” at that time, but look. There are still monitors remaining.
It cannot be guaranteed that there are no guys plotting useless conspiracies while wandering this world.
Like Delbanas, who was manipulated, and Jade, who successfully merged and turned evil, they can be killed. But what about Heidi?
While pondering, Bigbangdaengi opened his mouth.
“There is not completely no way.”
“Is that lie true?”
“…It’s not a lie, but it’s not certain. Still, I think it’s worth a try.”
“What’s the plan then?”
“We’ll take them to the temple of Lubenar. If it’s blood magic, there might be a way.”
“What’s Lubenar? And what do you mean by temple?”
Temple? I’ve traveled through kingdoms all this time and I’ve never seen any religion or temple.
In this fantasy world, religions are rare. I understand. The Watcher who claimed to be a god caused chaos, so faith and all that disappeared.
Orphe, who had been reading my mind, began to explain.
“It’s the state religion of the Kingdom of Koremgold.”
Lubenarism. A group that serves the blood deity Lubenar Lubes Lubeed. The priests offer blood as a sacrifice to predict destiny, harvest, and weather for the year.
In summary, it went like this.
[Lubenar is a figure from ancient times. Like other beings from different realms, he was brought to this planet. He was the top candidate for Watcher after the ancient hero. The ancient hero suggested that they become Watchers together, but Lubenar refused.]
“Is that true?”
Big Bang reacted sensitively to Tribor’s words.
[Yes, it is. I heard that he provided a lot of help during the founding of Koremgold, but I didn’t know he even created a religion.]
“That’s irrelevant. So what should we do? Answer me, Big Bang.”
What’s important now is Heidi, not Lubenar or whatever.
“There’s a… a prisoner of the Lubenar religion who migrated from Koremgold in Neo-Neo-Solitron. Let’s look for that person.”
“I’m confident in finding people! Oclyus and I will look for them!”
“Look in the morning and clean up the mess at night.”
“…”
The job of searching for people was assigned to Choker. And so, three days had passed.
“I found them!”
The results came out earlier than expected.
“I met them first and told them about the matter. We can meet at lunch today!”
“Did they receive the sacrament?”
Big Bang asked.
“Not exactly, but we can perform the exorcism.”
“Then it’s settled.”
The sorceress aunt, after confirming, nodded her head.
“Phew…”
Perhaps feeling a little relieved, Heidi patted her shoulder and finished the meal before setting off.
“This way.”
Orphe, Heidi, Choker, and I entered the dilapidated mansion.
“Is this the child…?”
A woman dressed up as Kabuki sat there, burning incense. She had heavier makeup than Choker, an older woman.
“Choker, isn’t she your sister?”
“No, she’s not!”
“Whatever.”
The woman who had been watching Heidi suddenly stood up.
“…Such a dangerous aura. We must start immediately.”
“Ah…yes.”
Kabuki-nyo raised a long, sharp needle and pricked her own fingertip. She let the blood drip into a small dish and extended it to Heidi along with the needle.
“Just do the same.”
“Yes…”
Heidi, looking pale upon seeing the needle, hesitantly pricked her own fingertip with wide-eyed astonishment. It looked like the act of insane pseudo-spiritualists, but for now, she decided to observe.
“…It’s done.”
Kabuki-nyo placed the dish containing both their blood on the table and held a strange stick in both hands. Then, she moved her right and left foot aimlessly…
“Rube-rube-rube-rube-rube-rube-rube-rube-rube-rube~~~!”
Damn it, she suddenly shook her body vigorously, singing a song.

Kabuki-nyo’s tongue moved as fast and uncontrollably as a child licking a candy the size of her face. Startled, Heidi took a step back.
“Don’t step back during the ritual! Please sit down!”
Heidi, who stopped at Kabuki-nyo’s words, moved mechanically and returned to her seat.
“Is this the ritual?”
“I’ve never seen it before either.”
Orpheus seemed bewildered, blinking his eyes.
“You who cannot cross flowing water, you who cannot be reflected in a mirror, you who dislike sunlight, you who dislike thorns, you who take the lives of evil men, please come to this place and aid the helpless in the name of the Blood Alliance.”
Shouting something incomprehensible, Kabuki-nyo started to dance even more vigorously. Her eyes were flipped like someone being controlled by a yokai.
Does this really have any effect? With lingering doubts, I activated my Mekhon and looked at Heidi.
– …
The observer, Zander-Lucan, who clung to her soul, showed no sign of movement.
“This crazy woman!”
Bam~!
I kicked away the delirious Gakbuki girl’s buttocks, still glowing like a club’s neon sign.
“Lube lube lube lube bat-!”
The ajumma, banging her face on the floor, making foolish noises.
“Are you trying to kick out the observer? Are you summoning a ghost? You fake bastard!”
I grabbed the nape of the Gakbuki girl’s neck, her makeup smeared from the collision with the floor, and lifted her up.
“I-I need more time.”
“It’s already been 10 minutes!”
“T-There’s no problem with my method. It’s because that kid lacks sincerity-“
“Shut up!”
“Kch-!”
There’s no need for the nonsense and babbling of this woman. She should have realized she was part of an unheard-of religious group from the moment I mentioned it.
If Buddha had said that everyone except himself was a heretic, I might have killed him. The Movenar religion should be grateful for Buddha’s broad-mindedness.
“Heidi, let’s go.”
I dragged Heidi, who was sitting there dumbfounded, unable to grasp the sudden change in the situation, and walked out of the building.
I, too, am a physical therapist, so I have the qualifications. I have no choice but to personally perform the surgery to remove Heidi’s observer.

“Ah, there’s still plenty of time… We can find another way…”
Heidi begged, tears streaming down her face like chicken droppings, rubbing her palms together until they caught fire.
It’s nothing special, but by creating a time for us to be alone together deep in the cave, it has come to this. It’s all part of the treatment process.
“You don’t have much time left. About half of it has already eroded away.”
[So it seems.]
“Be careful.”
To be prepared for any contingency, Treeborang and Orpe are watching from a distance, so strictly speaking, it’s not just the two of us.
“Hey Heidi, do you know? Lions push their cubs off cliffs. It’s a similar method, so don’t be displeased.”
“No animal pushes its own child off a cliff. Incorrect information… Oops.”
Orpe, quietly watching and then making a face as if realizing something, seemed more like his usual impolite self rather than trying to make things difficult for me.
If it’s different from what he thinks, he immediately raises objections. It’s a common trait among bookworms.
“Earth’s lions do.”
“…Really?”
[The lions of Earth and this planet are no different.]
“You just shut up.”
I took out the ninja tool in front of Heidi and immediately infused it with mana.
Based on my experience, Guardians take control of the host’s body when their life is in danger. Whether it’s because they don’t want to waste the acquired host or some kind of attachment has formed, I don’t know.
This fact is proven by Hassanda, who transformed into a golden bat immediately after Delbanas’ head flew away.
So, if I can bring Heidi to the brink of death, the Guardian who has made her a host will reveal its true form. It’s a true physical therapy session.
First, to do that, I have to think of Heidi as a Yasayora.
“…”
I quietly stared at Heidi.
Heidi, who had engaged in the act of Yakuzajit, caught the Shogun’s eye and received the position of a samurai. She became the ultimate villain, driven by an even stronger desire for power.
In two years, she had killed 510,000 people in the town of Andes, which had a population of only 100,000. She had mastered the Seven Sword Style and had killed Orpheus about five times.
“Uh, oops…!”
Heidi’s pants became damp with fear. That must be another disguise for deception.
“Robin! You know you’re not supposed to kill, right? Huh?!”
Orpheus’s whimpering voice couldn’t be heard.
“Wajabwet-!!!”
“Kiyaaah-ahhhhh!”
It was the moment she was about to strike with her sword. Heidi’s body, which had been screaming, was suddenly entangled by black tentacles that seemed to have sprung from somewhere, dynamically forming a defensive barrier.
“Tentacle excrement?”
It wasn’t like Hiteuler, the Transcendent Hitler, where the tentacles and the main body were separated. It was a form where the entire body was covered in tentacle mucus.
“This is…”
Venom. No, it was Venet.
