《I Died and Got Summoned to Another World as a WHAT?!?!》Ep. 970 Seeking Help Part 1
Advertisement
I spot a tear trailing down the side of Lin's face, so I pull her close and kiss her as I wipe it away. I didn't mean to upset her, I never expected the conversation to end up here. Still, the fact that she is strong enough to be willing to do what is necessary is strangely comforting.
"I just want you to know that if it ever does come to that, I would rather die by your hand than anyone else's. I promise to be as careful as I can to prevent that, but I would rather die than become a real monster."
Lin says "For my part, I promise to smack you anytime I see you about to do something reckless!"
That sets both of us to laughing and helps to dispel the heavy atmosphere. When we finally stop laughing, after a few more kisses, I finally notice that we are alone. The others have already left the soulscape and I have no idea when they left.
Even Myria left without saying anything, I stopped watching her at some point. She probably saw the two of us having an intense conversation and was not willing to interrupt. I will have to remember to thank her for being considerate when she didn't have to.
"The others all left, did you notice?"
Lin says "Nope, I wasn't paying attention to anything other than you."
"Yeah, I didn't notice either. Luckily, this is my soulscape, if it was the real world that kind of inattention could be dangerous."
Lin says "Not really. We are on the ship, nothing could get to us without warning. That gives me an idea, do you trust Athena the same way you trust Yui?"
"Not exactly, at least not yet. I am fairly sure that she wouldn't betray me unless I was doing something horrible. However, she is still new to being a spirit and it is possible her personality will change. Why?"

Lin says "Well, from what you told me about how the tower made you feel safe, I thought we could work on getting the ship to be the same. If you can truly relax on the ship, that would definitely help you."
"That's probably true, but we will need to wait and see how Athena matures. In the meantime, I will try to let myself relax more."
Lin says "We may not need to wait. If you improve the defenses of the ship you should feel safer right away."
"The only way to do that would be to use formations and I am not allowed to play with formations anymore."
Lin says "Then I guess we just need to create a better language for magic."
"That will be even more dangerous. Are you sure about this?"
Lin says "Yes. I trust you and I will be there to smack you if you try anything too crazy."
"I get the feeling I am going to get smacked a lot. Wait, there might just be another option, but it could also be dangerous."
Lin says "What are you thinking?"
"Well, there is this dragon I know that is somewhat friendly towards me. He has taught me a lot. I am thinking maybe he would be willing to teach me the dragon's language."
Lin says "You think the dragon's language will have a written form that works for formations?"
"Oh, absolutely! Dragons are creatures of magic on par with deities. Their language will definitely be a magical language."
Lin says "Well, alright. So, how do we speak with this dragon?"
"Wait, we?!"
Lin says "Of course! I am not letting you do something dangerous alone!"
"Honestly, I am not sure how he would react to me bringing you, but if you want to go I won't stop you."

Lin says "Good! Now, how do we get there?"
Instead of answering I return to my normal form and lift her onto my back. Then I warn her to hold on and that this is probably going to feel really weird. I had an idea a while ago and now I am going to find out if it will work or not.
While concentrating I open a gateway to the hall of doors, but I don't go through it. Instead I concentrate on what the dragon's soulscape felt like and try to connect the gateway to it. The gateway starts bending and twisting until it looks like it is on the verge of collapsing.
In the end it does collapse and I am sure that I have failed to reach the dragon's soulscape. However, right after the gateway collapses a massive pair of doors appear in my soulscape. The doors are over a hundred feet tall, bright red, and very ornate.
Lin says "Ash, what is that?!"
"If I'm right, it is the entrance to the dragon's soulscape."
Lin says "Soulscape? Is that where we are going?"
"Yes. Still want to go with me?"
Lin says "I'll admit, I am scared, but I am going with you."
"Okay."
Before I can think better of it, I walk up to the doors and knock as hard as I can. Up close, the size of the doors makes me feel tiny, which is not something I am used to. After a tense minute or so, the doors swing open revealing a swirling vortex of energy.
Taking a deep breath, before I can change my mind, I walk into the vortex. Passing through the vortex feels like I am falling, spinning, and doing flips all at the same time. Faintly, as if from far away, I can hear Lin screaming, yet I can also feel her hugging my neck for dear life.
The feeling only lasts for seconds, but at the same time it feels like it lasts for hours. When my senses clear I find I am hovering in the air above a lake of lava in a huge cavern. The heat is really intense and I do my best to shield Lin from it with my body.
The lava shifts as something moves beneath it and then the dragon's head rises from the lava. He is in his real form so his head is big enough that he could eat me in one bite. When Lin sees that she lets out a little yelp and buries her face in the fur of my neck.
The sound and movement draw his attention and I can see his eyes focus on my neck. Instantly the temperature drops and the lava is replaced with a rock floor. The dragon also shrinks down so he is only about three times my size, much less intimidating.
Dragon says "Every time you show up you are more and more dragon-like. I can't wait to hear what kind of trouble you have gotten into since your last visit. First, why don't you introduce me to your companion."
"This is Lin and she is my mate."
Dragon says "Congratulations! It is about time you found someone. Hello, Lin, it is a pleasure to meet you. I will not harm you, in fact I wish you well. Ash is going to prove to be quite the handful for you to deal with."
Lin says "Oh, he already is! It is nice to meet you as well."

Godfather Of Champions
This is a story about the pursuit of victory.— «I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!»The main character was not well-liked by people.— «⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?» Parker, a reporter from laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.But there were also people who were madly in love with him.— When Tony Twain was forced to talk about the survey conducted by during an interview, his reply was : «I am happy, because Nottingham Forest’s fans make up seven percent of England’s population.»And he did not seem to care about how the others saw him.— «What are you all trying to make me say? Admit that I am not popular, and everywhere I go will be filled with jeers and middle fingers. You all think I will be afraid? Wrong! Because I am able to bring victory to my team and its supporters. I don’t care how many people hate me and can’t wait to kill me, and I also won’t change myself to accommodate the mood of these losers. You want to improve your mood? Very simple, come and defeat me.»His love story had garnered widespread attention.— «Our reporters took these pictures at Manager Tony Twain’s doorsteps. It clearly shows that Shania entered his house at 8.34pm and she did not leave the house throughout the night at all. But Manager Tony Twain firmly denies, and insists that that was merely the newest-model inflatable doll which he had ordered.He was the number one star of the team.— «⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.»He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.— «⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted «books» (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?» An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.He was loved and hated by the press.— «He has a special column in at least four renowned print media, and he is able to get a considerable amount of remuneration just by scolding people or writing a few hundred words of nonsense weekly. While we have to contemplate hard about our drafts for three days before our boss is pleased with it. In an article inside his special column, he scolded and called all of the media ‘son of a bitch’, announcing that he hated the media the most. But every time he publishes an article, we flock towards him like flies which had spotted butter. Why? Because the readers like to read his news and see him scold people. I dare to bet with you, and Manager Tony Twain knows clearly in his heart as well, that even though he says that he hates us, he knows that the present him cannot do without us. Similarly, we also cannot do without him. Is this ultimately considered a good or a bad thing?» Bruce Pearce, a reporter from said with a face of helplessness when talking about Tony Twain.But no matter the case, his players were his most loyal believers.— Gareth Bale, «No no, we never had any pressure when playing on our home grounds. Because the pressure is all on the manager. As long as we see him standing by the side of the field, all of us will feel that we will be able to win that match. Even the football hooligans are like meek lambs in front of him!» (After saying this, he began to laugh out loudly)The reply from George Wood, the team captain of Nottingham Forest, was the most straightforward. «We follow him because he can bring us victory.»The legendary experience of Tony Twain, the richest, most successful, most controversial manager with the most unique personality!Debuting this summer.Thank you for reading.
