The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

"...Yes, I think the Covenant Alliance is very likely related to our goal, so Miss Zhuying and I will go to investigate first. We will contact you later, Miss Xiaye."

After sending a message to her companions who were not around, Karin sighed deeply with some fatigue.

Because what she said were actually lies - she had no intention of investigating the people from the Covenant Alliance, nor did she plan to contact them again during this period of time.

"Are you done? Then get ready for training. You two are so weak right now. If you don't hurry up, you'll have no chance."

The black-clad nun, with a cigarette in her mouth, leaned lazily against the wall and started to lecture the brown-skinned wolf girl who had just returned and the somewhat dazed cherry-haired maid.

"As long as you can achieve your goal, I can answer your questions. But right now, it's best for both of you not to say anything."

Karin turned her head to look at her companion who had become a little more mature and calm after recovering from the state of parts, but she was still a little confused.

She knew very well that the black-clad nun in front of her, who looked as plain as an unknown passerby, was actually a powerful person who could easily crush their heads - but now she was planning to teach them how to use her own power.

"...Stupid dog, you'd better not ask anything, just do whatever she says. Her authority is ridiculously high, and I can't resist at all."

"Okay... I won't ask anymore."

After whispering something to Zhu Ying, Karin had to accept the current situation.

The nun in black, who had been watching the interaction between the two, threw away her burnt cigarette butt and stomped out the last spark with her pointed leather boots.

"Okay, let's officially begin. First of all, I want to tell you that you will most likely face enemies that humans cannot even understand."

Karin, who heard such exaggerated words right at the beginning, still looked very confused, but the expression of Zhuying beside her became much more serious.

"Not only do you not have enough strength to fight such an enemy now, you can't even understand the enemy's nature... Little maid over there, you should understand what I'm saying, right?"

"Yes...I have downloaded the relevant data."

"I won't talk about the knowledge aspect... Time is running out, so I will teach you how to use your power correctly."

After saying that, the nun in black took a step forward and came straight to Karin.

"But before that, you little red dog must learn to think."

"Varied--"

Before Karin could react, a deep and silent darkness like a quagmire gushed out from the nun's body and instantly enveloped her completely.

…Then, the darkness melted and spread across the ground like a shadow, and disappeared.

"There are some things she doesn't need to know, so let her practice with us first - I have something I want to investigate, and now I need your help."

Seeing her companions being swallowed by the darkness that appeared out of nowhere, the cherry-haired maid who was left behind did not show any emotion - her eyes were flashing with a strange golden light, as if she was calculating something.

"Authorization completed. Access to database content is allowed. What do you plan to check?"

"I need all the observation records of Omega-class planetary defense responses since you came online until now."

……

When Karin regained consciousness, she found herself in a strange place.

The sky above was an endless darkness with no end in sight, like an upside-down abyss that made people feel terrified.

Not far in front of her, there was only a desolate town with dim lights and dead silence.

"here it is……"

[This is the land of eternal night, the resting place of us, the 『■■■』 apostles. 】

The hollow voice coming from an indeterminate direction made Karin's mind stagnate.

Then, an inexplicable pressure came roaring in from all directions and began to impact and squeeze her body.

[Understand and harness the power you have been given here - if you can't, there's no need to return to reality. ]

"Are you kidding..."

Although Karin subconsciously used her strength to try to resist the external pressure from the beginning, she was immediately surprised to find that there was nothing inside her body.

The red lightning that came from the foreign god seemed to have completely disappeared from her body.

"how come……"

The invisible pressure swept around her body like a storm, causing her muscles and bones to constantly make strange noises - the terrifying force seemed to be able to crush her body suddenly at any time, causing the fear of dying to constantly emerge from deep in her heart.

Will I die here? No...why should I die here?

"--hateful!"

Why do I insist on living?

"Don't use your strength in the wrong place."

"who is it?"

The increasing pressure around her body had made Karin begin to have difficulty breathing... and in her ears, she heard sounds that sounded like hallucinations.

"Think carefully about why you need this power."

"I'm……"

In the hallucination caused by her near-death experience, Karin once again saw the scene that she would never forget -

[…I never intended to ask you to do anything from the beginning.]

No! I can do it! I want to fight for that person, so I crave for power.

...But does that person really need me?

[——I just killed Aarons Morty.]

Is it because I don’t have enough power that the master I serve was murdered?

...Why would someone who is more loyal than you voluntarily join the enemy's side?

[…Perhaps I killed him just to free him from your clutches.]

Has my master always been seeking liberation?

...Have I been doing something wrong?

"You never really understood that person."

The vague words coming from somewhere far away finally brought Karin, who was about to lose consciousness, back to consciousness.

"But I no longer have the chance..."

However, even after hearing the voice calling her, Karin no longer had the strength to struggle.

…Even if I disappear here, it doesn’t matter.

"You——Oh my, why are none of my family members willing to use their brains? You were deceived by that man, you little girl! He is not dead yet!"

But the last hint, which was a mixture of anxiety and teasing, cheered up Karin, who was about to give up.

"Master, he's not dead?"
