"Ru-o-o-o-o-o-o-o."

A roar that seemed out of this world echoed throughout the area.

The silhouette of the master of this啦is dare I say it is close to a whale?

It was only a dare, a silhouette, so what I actually saw with my own eyes
was far from a whale.

The only thing they have in common is a bumpy, stocky torso.

Mostly, this is land, and there are no whales that should live in the sea. Is it
the power of being squeezed in the sea of this world in the first place? ..

While I was thinking about something unimportant, the whale's body was
engulfed in an explosion.

"Pow! Pa-oh-oh!"

The whale's body shook violently as if it was angry.

That alone shattered the ground in the vicinity, creating a shockwave.

The size of the whale is huge, just like the whale.

It's huge. -No explanation necessary.

I'm tempted to say.

Simple mass is a threat on its own, isn't it?

So, to explain the appearance of the whale again, it's hard to describe what it
looks like.

As a silhouette, it really does look like a whale.

The head and torso are connected as they are, and I can't tell the boundary
between them.

In fact, the only part of my face that could be considered a face was my
mouth, and I had no eyes or nose or anything like that. And the only mouth I
have is, in a word, a hole.

I think it's easier to say that it's the mouth of a big worm-like monster or
something.

It's like a hole in the ground.

But this one has arms and legs as proof that it's not a worm-type monster.

It has huge front legs that look like fins and back legs that look like fish tails
growing out of the base of its torso opposite its mouth.

The silhouette is whale-like. The silhouette is whale-like.

But don't think it's unreasonable to call this a whale!

"Roooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

A roar that felt like it reverberated in the hole echoed from the whale's
mouth.

"Oh, no."

The bloodsucking child cut into the huge body to interrupt the roar.

However, the greatsword wielded by the bloodsucker was blocked by its

stubby gray skin and could not cut through it.

"Chit!"

As the bloodsucking child clicks his tongue, the whale's fins explode in a
whack.

The bloodsucker's body blows up like a joke.

A whale of a creature leaps forward in an attempt to leap at the blown up
blood sucker. However, it could not move any further than a single plunge.

Thread.

There was a thread wrapped around it that was too thin for the huge body of
the whale to even be visible without a good look.

The strings are pulled by the spiders scattered in all directions.

It took four puppet spiders to stop the whale from moving.

|I'll be back.

A whale roared briefly.

A tremendous jet of cold air shot out from the whale's body, freezing the
threads that were wrapped around it.

Shattered.

And then, a sword comes flying at you.

The sword will explode in flames.

The cold air from the whale's jet collided with the sword's explosion, and it
was the whale's cold air that overpowered it.

What a bunch of bullshit. What bullshit....

As expected of a mythical demon.

Yes, this whale is a mythical creature with a dangerous level.

Mythic grade is a level of danger that is said to be impossible to deal with by

human beings.

A mythical demon has the power to destroy an entire country by itself.

This whale is one of them.

In the far north of the demon tribe's territory, a living legend lives on in a
barren land where no one ever comes.

What's your name? ….

It's a very long and difficult name to pronounce.

Hyupo na na na na.

... ...and then...

While I twist my brain trying to remember the name of the whale, the battle
continues.

The participants this time are the bloodsuckers, demons, doll spiders, and
Mera.

All of them are fierce people who are out of their element.

A lineup that can stand up to mythical-level demons.

In fact, the puppet spiders are as mythical as the whales.

However, there are many different types of mythical class.

Even in the same mythic class, there is more than double the difference in
status between Mother and the puppet spiders.

In the same way, the whale is stronger than the puppet spiders, even though
they are of the same mythical class.

I don't have access to appraisals anymore, so I can't tell you how strong they
are, but I can tell you that they average around 15,000 in terms of stats.

The number of puppet spiders was slightly more than 10,000, so it was
simply 1.5 times more. So it's simply 1.5 times more.
With Tymans, even the puppet spiders can't win.

Well, that's why we're competing with them in numbers.

However, in this world, you can't measure victory or defeat by simple

calculations such as status/:score or numbers.

The quality of the skills and the compatibility are also major factors.

In this respect, the whale is a difficult opponent.

Not only the puppet spiders, but all spider demons have a weakness for the
water attribute.

It's not as good as fire, but it's not a good match.

And the bloodsucking tsuko is another stalwart who fights mainly with the
water attribute.

Applying the ice attribute to a water attribute opponent has little effect.

I mean, whale-like whales probably have resistance to water injections.

In other words, no effect.

Since the sword of the blood-sucking child did not pass through the sword, it
seems to have a considerably high resistance.

This means that both the puppet spider and the bloodsucker are not good
partners.

That being the case, I have high hopes for the remaining Mera and Oni-kun.
……..... Both of them are simply not powerful enough.

Mera is the weakest of them all.

You're doing great, aren't you?

If you think about the fact that you're an ordinary human being, it's amazing
that you're able to participate in this extradimensional battle.

I'm trying super hard.

However, it's not so easy to win just by working hard.

Unfortunately, we don't have the means to ruin the whale's life.

He knows that, and he's been working on support^, focusing on healing magic
and the like.

Speaking of Jiyaaoni-kun, this one has an effective hit for the time being.

That exploding sword, it's called a bursting sword.

But even so, I feel like I've fallen short of the simple violence of the whale's
status. I was overwhelmed by the gushing cold air.

To sum it up, it took seven of us to finally get even.

Well, that's just the way it is.

This whale is so old that I don't know how long it's been around.

According to the legend of the demon tribe, they've been living here in the
north for a long time.

Even the Demon Lord says he doesn't know how long he's been here, so he
must have lived a long time.

Live long, be strong.

This scheme is easy to understand if you look at the Demon King.

The longer you live, the more experience you accumulate.

In addition, the longer you live, the higher your skill level will naturally be.
Moreover, although not as cold as the Demon Mountain Range, the northern
land of this demon tribe territory is extremely cold.

A harsh environment for living things to live in.

A person who has survived in such an environment all his life cannot be
weak.

There's a tradition among the demon tribe that says, "If you go to the north,
you'll find hyupo-nanchi, kanchi, etc., so don't go there! So don't go there!"

It means that they are worthy of being passed down from generation to
generation.

The bloodsucking children who are fighting against the lore.

Oh? The bloodsucker switched its attack method to acid.

The red water, reminiscent of blood, attacked the whale and melted its skin,
which had never been damaged until Satsuki.

"pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow."

The whale let out the longest and loudest roar I've ever heard.

Apparently, it worked.

And the whale is not just getting beaten up, it's also ramming its mouth into
the bloodsucker.

The bloodsucker evaded it with a flutter.

The whale had to kiss the ground.

But I didn't hit my head on the ground dumbly.

The ground was easily scraped away by the whale, like tofu, and
disappeared into its mouth.
And then, as the whale looked up, the swallowed ground was spewed out of
its mouth like a muddy stream.

Muddy waters, or no longer a breath attack?

The destination, of course, was the vampire vixen.

"...X, yeah, 21."

"Miss."

The blood-sucking child was swallowed by the sand and soil.

Well, that level won't kill you.

And Mera came to the rescue right away.

But I said earlier that it's not a worm, but I'm pretty sure it's related to a
worm.

Yeah?

What kind of evolutionary process would lead to such a strange creature?

It's a mystery, but I can't help but think about the mysteries of life.

And right now, it's a matter of whether or not we can take this guy down.

The reason why we are fighting this whale is to recover energy.

As a matter of fact, in addition to this whale, there are other mythical demons
or similar demons living in unexplored areas around the world.

They, like this whale, have lived so long that they have become
unmanageable.

Demons in this world are programmed to aggressively attack people.

It is defeated by people and vice versa to grow, die and be killed and be
killed and die again and again to supply energy to the system.

However, like these whales, they are programmed to survive from time to
time and become unmanageable.

That's the mythical class of demons.

Well, it's just that we're guided by our thoughts, and there are probably some
demons out there that will attack people over it.

These people have been defeated in mortal combat by heroes, demon kings,
and other heroes of the past.

If left unchecked, it would be a real threat to the survival of the human race,
so they would be desperate to defeat it.
The really bad ones might have been dealt with unnoticed by the black one,
Guiyuri Guiyuri, or the current demon king.

These mythical demons have a lot of experience stored up, and if you kill
them, you can get a lot of energy.

I decided to hunt for a mythical demon to add a little energy before the final
touches of destroying the system.

It's also a good way to raise the level of the bloodsuckers.

In fact, it would have been better if I had just crushed it, so that there would
be less energy loss.

This is because the energy of experience points flows to raise the level of
blood-sucking children. Well, that's the margin of error.

Now, I've decided that it's better to increase the strength of my allies in
preparation for the coming final battle, so I've left the mythic-level hunting to
them.

If there is a danger, I will intervene without mercy and take care of it.

Yeah. Mythic level or not, the current me can win with ease.

Since I'm watching over them like this, it's actually a pretty safe leveling
tool, isn't it?

Fortunately, so far I haven't had a case where I messed with it.

We've already defeated several mythical creatures besides the whale.

I've also beaten quite a few semi-mythical classes.

Well, Kotsuchi has four puppet spiders that are genuine mythical class, so
quasi-mythical class is no match for them.

The bloodsuckers and demons have already reached the mythical level in
terms of strength.
I'm sorry, but Mela is... 丨I'm trying my best.

No, no, no, no! It's not that Mera's weak! She's just too strong for them!

I heard that the average status of a mela is about 5,000.

Five thousand is more than the price of an arachnid. Yeah.

How can Mera, who's stronger than that Arava, be weak!

It's just that the enemy used to be even stronger than that. …

They are mythical, mythical level of bad.

They don't say it's impossible for a person to handle.

Mera is supposed to be unreasonably strong in human form.

But even if it's unreasonable, it's not impossible to deal with, right?

Even in the last war, the Mera were forced to retreat.

It's not that I didn't expect to be forced to retreat because of Mera's strength.

The overwhelming difference in status can be overturned by numbers and

energy.

Yes, just like the whale that is about to be defeated.

The whale's skin was dissolved by the acid of the bloodsucking vampire, and
the puppet spiders mercilessly poured poison into the dissolved parts, and
when its movement was slowed down, it was blasted by Oni-kun's explosive
sword.

You ogres!

… There were about three demons.

The other four are also spiders.

That's right^^, you're a fine spider^- 0.

It's easy to forget that doll spiders are spiders, because they look just like
humans. They are spiders, so they must be poisonous.

Until now, there was no opponent that the puppet spiders could fight with full
specs, but in terms of the number of their hands, it's quite a troublesome part
of the mythical class.

There are strings, poisons, and weapons and techniques that use the bodies of
dolls.

The status itself is modest for a Mythic class, but it's more than made up for
by the abundance of combat options.

It feels like a mythical horror to be modest with an average status of 10,000.

But even that terrible mythical class is now only a hunted being.

The whale's huge body tilted in a swaying motion.

Then, he fell to the ground with the earth shaking.

"Ohhhh …. I want to take a bath. …"

"Thank you for your time."

"Good work."

The blood-sucking child, who had been covered with sand and soil, was
grumpy, perhaps feeling more exhausted than accomplished.

Mera gives a word of encouragement to the bloodsucking child, and Oni-kun

greets her in the same way with a wry smile.

The four puppet spiders are high-fiving each other.

If you only look at the status and resistance of the whale, it was quite high,
but if you can manage that, it might have been an easy opponent.
The only way to attack it is to swallow it by mouth and then spit it out at high
speed, like some pink star demon.

He was able to shoot cold air from his entire body and use his huge body to
slam into the ground.

That's about all I had.

His attack power was not that great compared to his defense power, so he
was easy to deal with.

Well, I'm talking about the Mythic class, and I can usually kick out an entire
army with just this one.

I walked over to the fallen whale, thinking about all of this.

I was watching the game from a little distance away, so there was a subtle
distance between us.

If I metastasize, it'll only be for a moment, but I gotta walk for my health once
in a while!

"Yeah."

The bloodsucker noticed me approaching.

Then he looked at the whale and me, and then at his greatsword.

Oh, I have a bad feeling about this.

"Hey. This is ----."

"No."

When the blood-sucking child begs for a cat with a voice, he looks ahead and
refuses. "Somehow there?"

The vampire girl tilts her head adorably and begs.

This guy, after attending a demon academy and learning to serve men, has
acquired some strange skills.

Do you really think such flattery will work on me?

"You can't do what you can't do."

"Part 1 I."

Even if you're that cute and puffy, it's no good!

I mean, it's really impossible.

I think what the bloodsuckers are looking for is if they can use the material
from this whale to strengthen their big sword.

The bloodsucker's greatsword is made from the claws of a mythical demon

named Fenrir, which is combined with the scales of another mythical dragon
called Nia, the Ice Dragon.

As a result, it has become a super weapon with excellent sharpness, high

durability, and even water attributes.

The whale is an ice attribute, and it would be very compatible with the big
sword.

But you know what, I don't have the ^^^^^^^ skills to process it!

The previous processing was not done by me, it was done by black.

It doesn't mean that we can't be together because we are the same God.

"Miss Sofia. Are you going to mix those?"

Perhaps he couldn't see the swelling blood-sucking child, Oni-kun sent out a
rescue boat.

The whale that Oni-kun is pointing at has always been difficult to describe
from the start, but now it is in a pathetic state with its skin dissolved by acid.
Butchiyake creepy.

The bloodsucking vixen saw this and fell silent.

He moved away from me with a swoosh, as if he had given up.

As expected, he didn't want to mix that creepy thing with his beloved big
sword.

The bloodsucking child is as unthinking as ever, as she acts before she even
thinks about it.

That's why I'm doing all this stuff at school.

Well, that's okay for now.

I once again fly the corpse of the whale to another space by transference.

The corpse of a mythical demon possesses a lot of energy even when its soul
has been removed.

The soul is retrieved by the system, but the body remains intact.

It would be a waste if we did not make good use of the energy stored in our
bodies.

The corpse of the whale was sent to another space, where it was munched on
by my alter egos.

In this way, energy is taken into the minute body.

I really wish I could send this energy to the system, too.

However, I also want to accumulate a certain amount of energy to increase

my strength.

This is an efficient use of resources!

It may look gross, but it's a nutritious food that will give you plenty of
energy!

So don't look at me like that, bloodsucker!

After sending the bloodsuckers back to the Demon King's castle, we are now
in the fortress of the human race.

It's a former tribal stronghold.

This fort used to be controlled by the human race, but it was overrun by the
second army in the last war.

I don't know. I don't think it's really the second army, but rather a bunch of
monkeys who were brought in by the second army's schemes.

A horde of monkeys that tormented me in the Great Labyrinth of Elroh.

The same kind of monkeys live in the Devil's Mountain Range, and the leader
of the second army, Otupai, called them over to the Sai Kung fort.

If you kill even one of those monkeys, they will come back and attack you
one after another, which is very annoying. …

It seemed that the number of monkeys had just increased after the breeding
season, and the fort was overrun by monkeys.

Thanks to this, the second army returned triumphantly unharmed.

But there is one problem.

Samurai I Kun Fort is occupied by monkeys as it is ..... Originally, it would

be the role of the Second Army to get rid of it, but Otsupai evaded it easily.

Well, even though I made the fort fall unscathed, fighting a monkey would
cause considerable damage. If you are not good at it, it may be more
damaging than fighting the human race.

I'm going to fight the ape that attacked the human race.
Fortunately, the monkeys didn't cause any damage to the demon tribe by
staying in the fort, so the second army continued to set up camp near the fort
in the name of surveillance.

In the past, I've been able to see through the boobs' hopes of staying out of the
demon king's sight.

You're scared of the Demon Lord's virginity, Otis-san.

I wonder if he's planning to stay indoors under the guise of monkey-

watching?

Well, I won't let you.

"This is an order from the Demon Lord."

Fermina Chiyan casually presents an eight-beat order to Otsupai-san.

"You are ordered to return immediately."

He then gave a straightforward explanation of what was written in the order.

Otupai-san took the order silently and unfolded it, wrinkling her brow.

It contains greetings of the season and so on, but in summary, as Fermina

said, it is just a written order to come back.

I didn't make that many unnecessary modifiers, so it only takes a moment to

read.

"But we have surveillance of that fort …."

"We, the Tenth Army, will take over."

Fermina-chan brushed off Otupai-san's attempt to use surveillance as an

excuse.

Otsupai hatefully glares at Fermina Chiyan.

"We need time to prepare before we leave. …"

"Mr. Saanatriya."

Fermina Chiyan coldly calls the name of Otsupai who tried to make excuses.
"The Demon King is instructed to return immediately. What happens if I turn
away ... Do you understand?"

After that, Oppai-san's movements were swift.

They worked quickly to clear the area and left before the end of the day.

That's what I call lightning fast!

He's usually very capable as a general - oopsie.

He's a good commander, and he's taken down the enemy fort unscathed, albeit
with a lot of planning.

But I can't shake the smell of this little guy.

I'm already scared of this quick movement about the Demon King.

But the demon king is waiting for me when I return.

The fact that I feel like I'm getting myself into trouble because I'm too clever
makes me cry. Well, I don't know what happened to my boobs.

Now that the second army has retreated and we're out of sight, it's time to get
to work.

"Now, Tenth Army. We will now begin to capture Fort Sai丨Kun."

Fermina Chiyan is a member of the 10th Army — and is talented ^ — Kun is

heading for this stone ^. I told Otsupai that he would take over the
surveillance, but the 10th Army is not willing to keep it under surveillance.
Its purpose is to eradicate monkeys.

A group of white-robed men headed for the fort as Fermina-chan led the way.
The monkeys noticed their approach and started throwing stones at us, but
they couldn't hit the white-robed group.

It's a quick evasion.

Well, I don't think it would do any damage if it did.

After all, that white robe is specially made with my own thread and sewn by
me with great care!

Its defensive power is guaranteed.

I'm the legionnaire, after all.

As a person in charge of an army, I thought I should provide the members

with proper equipment, so I prepared the best I could.

Of course, it's not just the equipment, but the members of the group are also
well-trained. As proof of this, the members who have reached the wall of the
fort have been able to climb the vertical wall without difficulty.

They easily entered the fort and started to fight, despite the interference of the
monkeys throwing stones.

It's too one-sided to be called a battle, it's a raid.

Monkeys are definitely a nuisance, but that's due to their vast numbers of
power.

No matter how many times they kill, the monkeys keep coming back for more.

However, no matter how large the number, it is not infinite.

Just as I was able to fight them off in the Great Labyrinth of Elroh, I can kill
them all.

The monkeys in this fort have already been greatly reduced in number by the
battle with the human race.
And each monkey is not much stronger than the other.

With all these conditions, the group members I've trained can win with ease.

Now, this Tenth Army is an army with me as its commander.

It was an army imposed by the Demon Lord years ago as he was expanding
his army for the war against the human race.

Yeah. It was forced on me.

Because I had a position in the Demon King's army, and the 10th Army had
only a name but no substance. I was appointed as the commander of the army.

The Demon King's Army, from the first to the seventh, had been in place for
some time, but from the eighth onward, it was just a name and did not
function as an army.

This was because we were short of people and there were not enough of us.

In addition, the rebels were purged, and the structure of the military was
reformed.

The eighth army is headed by Oni-kun, and its members are the private
armies of corrupt lords.

Well, the point is, he's like the soldiers who fell from grace.

This is the army of so-called disposable suicide attackers, and Oni-kun

knows this, and in the Great War, he did not hesitate to blow up his allies and
enemies with his explosive sword.

The situation of the Ninth Army was completely different from that of the
Eighth Army, and its soldiers were more like outsiders.

After all, the commander of the Ninth Army is black as Guillory Guillory.

In order to keep an eye on and support the activities of the Demon Lord and
myself, I'm sitting in the Demon Territory, ostensibly as the Commander of
the Ninth Army.

And the Ninth Army's personnel are humanized dragons and dragons.

In other words, the black family members.

Although it calls itself the Demon Lord's Army, it is actually a special army
that is not under the control of the Demon Lord. That's why the Ninth Army
was the only one that didn't take part in the battle during the war.

And since the remaining tenth army was left vacant, I was assigned to be the
commander of the army as a free agent.

However, at this point, the allocation of personnel was almost complete. …

The Tenth Army was a haphazard group of people who had just graduated
from the academy, or maybe there was a reason why they couldn't stay in the
other armies.

In other words, there are no decent people.

There was already an Eighth Army of disposable soldiers, but there was no
place for them even in that army. It's interesting to look at their backgrounds
one by one.

The first of these is Fermina-chan, who has been entrusted with the role of
deputy corps commander.

This child's life has been a turbulent one that cannot be described without
tears.

Mostly because of the bloodsuckers!

Fermina is a young lady from a very nice place.

She was born to a nobleman, and is even engaged to a young man from the
same cousin. Because of this background, he was strictly trained from an
early age to become a leader of the demon tribe in the future.
Well, it seems that he was doing well until he entered the school due to his
natural talent.

Until I entered the school's primary school.

When I entered the school, there was a suspicious woman who came out of
nowhere and was waiting for me.

Yes, a bloodsucker.

The wild bloodsucking boy who didn't give a damn about the manners of the
aristocracy rampaged through the school in all sorts of ways.

The bloodsucker is also supposed to be a young lady from a good family, but
her family home has physically disappeared and she's been a wanderer since
she was a baby. …

Either way, it doesn't matter if you're from a human noble family, your
manners will be different from those of a demon noble family.

Demons are all about fighting power.

It seems that the blood-sucking kid, who had high specs only for his fighting
power and stats and skills during the trip, folded the pride of the demon boys
and girls. Well, that alone is still less harmful.

You're breaking the pride of boys and girls, aren't you?

That's about as cheap as it gets.

If you can't get up from that, you would have stumbled somewhere anyway.

And it's really cute compared to the commotion that followed.

What did the bloodsuckers do? They charmed and boned all the boys, and
then sucked their blood at random.

... I don't know what they're doing to me.

I don't know, maybe it's the right thing for a vampire to do.

Apparently, vampires have a strong desire to suck blood when they reach
puberty.

For vampires, the act of sucking blood is not only a way to eat, but also a
way to make more friends.

Well, I mean, what the hell...

It's almost like that disreputable thing that starts with a "yes", and you know,
puberty is the time when you start to get interested in that kind of thing, right?

That's what I'm talking about!

Normally, he would have been able to control himself, but the bloodsucker
had been under a lot of stress, and he seemed to have lost his grip on that
area.

She had charmed the boys and reigned over the school like an empress.

Then, Fermina stood up.

Fermina's fiancé, Waldo, is also fascinated by bloodsuckers, and if left

unchecked, the future leadership of the demon tribe will be destroyed, so they
set out to eliminate the bloodsuckers. But the result was a failure.

The boys who are fascinated by bloodsuckers collude, led by Waldo-kun.

He used the full power of his parents and family to put pressure on Fermina's
family, and in turn, had Fermina expelled.

In addition, the family of Fermina is also a very high ranking family in the
demon tribe, but because several families of the same rank or close to the
same rank like Waldo's family became enemies, they had no choice but to
exile Fermina.

And this, Fermina-chan's siege was planned because the bloodsucker was
related to the demon king.
If something happens to the bloodsucking child here, there is no telling what
the Demon King's retaliation will be, so the adults who are not enchanted and
have normal judgement have taken the form of eliminating Fermina.

Somehow, I'm sorry for all of my relatives ... Fermina Chiyan was banished
because of my relatives.

As expected, it is heartbreaking to leave that behind.

Since the former commander of the Tenth Army was Fermina-chan's father,
the Tenth Army decided to take custody of Fermina-chan.

If Fermina's father, who is handsome but somehow seems to be unhappy,

bows to me and says, "Please take care of my daughter", I'm not surprised.

I feel like the upper echelons of the demon tribe are full of hardworking
people.

It's mostly the Demon Lord's fault too!

... I'm really sorry about all the things that happened to my family.

Fermina was the first to join the 10th Army after such a long and tedious
process. After that, other people like Fermina joined the army, and the Tenth
Army took on a certain shape.

And if you are a batsuka with a reason, you are also a batsuka with a
problem.

Well, sometimes, the quickest way to hang it is 5 rice fields?

I'll let you hear a word or two when I beat you up.

This is the first thing that matters.

Once you have instilled in your mind that we are overwhelmingly stronger
than you, you will find that they will generally listen to you.

What? Is that a barbaric way to get people to listen to you?

That's not how you train an animal, is it?

We're humans, but we're wild animals in the broadest sense of the word, and
that's okay!

And if you say something like that, you're going to get protests from animal
rights groups, right?

I know, I know, I know.

But this is a different world.

There is no such thing as an animal rights group!

Let's protect me in the early days!

… This is very much off topic.

Well, I beat them up and they started to listen to me, but there were still some
problems.

One, few in number. Two, weak. Three, no equipment.

One can't help it.

The original group was made up of a lot of things and even more things.

It's no wonder there are so few of them.

But the second and third are serious.

Yeah, the second weakness is by my own standards, and it's hard to say that
it's particularly weak as a demon soldier.

However, as I said before, the Tenth Army is small in number.

In order to compensate for the small number of people, individual quality is

required.
Not quantity over quality, but quality over quantity.

It's a small amount, so I have to.

And since the Tenth Army was the last one to be formed, and there were only
a few of them, equipment and other military equipment were not distributed.

The other corps would be deployed first, and there would not be any left for
the Tenth Army.

As a result, I had to fight in cloth clothes and a hinoki stick, which looked
like the initial equipment of some hero.

To compensate for this equipment weakness, the quality of the person is

required.

Yes, after all, I had to train!

So, I worked out.

In particular, like the bloodsuckers, I was asked to exterminate demons in

various places as a way to recover energy.

Oh, and of course I didn't make you run into the mythical class, did I?

He also said that he was working in order from the weakest monsters.

I looked at the strength of the group members and made sure the difficulty
level was just barely enough to keep them from dying.

Throw them all into the crowd of demons at the transfer, and when they're
done, transfer them back and give them a rest.

If I make full use of my transference, I can go not only to the demon territory
but also to the human territory.

You can easily go back and forth to the realm of demons, which demons and
humans don't usually venture into, by making use of the transfer.
And so, as time allowed, I repeatedly threw the members of the legion into
the swarm of demons, retrieved them, and leveled them.

Thanks to their efforts, the members of the group were able to improve their
skills and abilities at a rapid pace.

So, once you have some basics, you will be given a training session of my
own design.

I had the blood suckers trained and then leveled up, but that was because I
had the time. In fact, it would be more efficient to train them and then raise
their levels, but I didn't have that much time.

In order to make them as strong as possible in a limited amount of time and

with maximum efficiency, I had to get them to level up quickly and get them
to a status where they could keep up with the training.

If you're too low status, you'll die in the training I have in mind.

What? What do you mean, training to die is not training?

That's why you threw him into a pack of demons and trained him before that
so that he wouldn't die.

Huh? The world calls the inside of a demon pack a dead place?

… Common sense is a throw away!

It doesn't matter if the halite in the group's eyes disappears, as long as they
come back alive and leveled up!

Don't tell anyone that I made a few mistakes in adjusting the difficulty level
and almost killed myself a few times.

It has trained me to run and hide from opponents I can't beat!

So, here it is.

The large number of monkeys in the fort were quickly exterminated.

Waichi, crackle, crackle, crackle.

"Situation cleared."

I nodded at Fermina-chan's report.

Good. It's a really good finish.

Hahaha! I can say that our Tenth Army has grown into a great army!

By the way, I managed to get the equipment I was lacking on my own.

and others.

As Satsuki said, the white costume was mended with my own thread.

As for the weapon, I asked Oni-kun to make it for me after a little bit of
pressure.

Oni-kun's unique skill, the skill to make magical swords.

Thanks to this, the Tenth Army was better equipped than the other legions.

Well, unlike other corps, most of their activities are training, and I also use
them for my personal things, so they don't get much exposure.

Thanks to this, the other corps think of me as a behind-the-scenes intelligence

unit.

No.1. Well, it's true that I did let him do some things like that, but you know.

Mostly elf-related.

Search for the remaining elves in the demon territory and eliminate them as
soon as you find them.

The Tenth Army didn't have much to do since Colonel Wagner, the now
deceased commander of the First Army Corps, had already done a lot of
work on this before the war.
So, in the heat of the moment, I mobilized them to hunt elves in the tribe's
territory.

There's no harm in letting elves live, you know.

I used my transference to infiltrate the human territory, and the members of

the group used their abilities to infiltrate, gather information, and assassinate
the elves we found.

And I've been in the dark like that before.

Fermina has a talent for this kind of thing, and she can sneak up behind a
target and assassinate him without any sound or sign.

Fermina-chan has been with the new Tenth Army since its inception ^ - 0.

That's why I've been trained so well.

It's probably stronger than something like Butchakko Otupai-san.

You can win a head-to-head battle, and if you make everything possible, you
can assassinate people in their sleep and win the war.

An assassin-type former lady.

I think there was one.

Fermina-chan took command of the unit for me, did paperwork and other
administrative work, and acted as a liaison for me when I couldn't speak
well.

As expected of an ex-lady, she was able to do many things due to her strict
upbringing.

He's no longer an indispensable part of the Tenth Army!

So the vice commander of the Tenth Army was unanimously decided to be

Fermina-chan.
Oh, only the vampire vixen was very much against it.

I made him get down on his knees and shut him up.

I put a curse on the bloodsucking vixen as punishment for what she did, like
banishing Fermina-chan.

"The curse of getting down on one's knees when I say, "Sit.

Thanks to this curse, even if the bloodsucker does something wrong, I can
punish him immediately.

I'm glad to see that Fermina-chan seems to have lost some of her composure
after seeing the blood-sucking child being made to get down on her knees
every time something happens.

The treatment that the blood-sucking child did to Fermina-chan is well

known to the members of the 10th Army. Everyone is looking at the blood-
sucking child with cold eyes.

The fact that she doesn't get discouraged by it, or rather, doesn't care about it,
is vampire quality.

He has a thick nerve.

On the other hand, the one who is always sick to his stomach is Fermina's ex-
fiancé, Waldo.

The main culprit in the school's fascination with bloodsuckers and the ousting
of Fermina-chan.

He was fascinated about it, he couldn't help it. He's one of the victims.

However, it's a tough one.

Even after the enchantment wore off, Waldo adored the vampire boy and
joined the Tenth Army with the vampire boy, and even had the vampire boy
turn him into a vampire.
I've become a fanatical bloodsucker chaser.

The members of the 10th Army couldn't make such a good face to Wald, so
............... I mean, Fermina, a former fiancé who was banished by Wald, is the
boss who is the deputy corps commander ...

There's no way you can have a good atmosphere in a place like that.

Mr. Waldo looks blue every day.

Oh, maybe it's because I'm a vampire that my face is blue.

While pondering these things, I collected the monkey corpses scattered

around the fort.

Monkeys can't be used as food by demons.

If that's the case, I'll have to collect it and eat it myself.

Well, it's my alter ego that actually eats the food.

The monkey corpse is thrown into a different space where the poi boi and the
alter are waiting, and the fort is cleaned.

But even if I clean it, I won't be using this fort anymore.

The Tenth Army is too small in number to occupy this fort and maintain
control of it.

So, it has been decided to abandon it after this.

It would be more meaningful to give up on the project and use it for

something else rather than wasting manpower on it.

It's not like the human race is going to come and retake this fort anyway.

How can you be so sure once?

Because that's what we're trying to do.

simmering.

Do you think I haven't done anything for the past few years?

What should I hide, I am the mastermind behind the movements of the human
race, not just the Demon King's army!

丨D丨D丨D丨. Eco-1.

Iya, it was so hard.

I've been going back and forth to various places, making full use of the
shifting.

I've been working in the dark.

One of the results of my efforts was the war between the demon and human
races.

It took a lot of hard work to get there.

I'd like to say I've done my best!

… And so, the hard work continues, doesn't it?

After recovering the monkey's corpse, he led the Tenth Army back to the
Demon King's Castle.

The Tenth Army will have to do a lot of behind-the-scenes work in the future.

I can't keep wasting my time on such a trivial matter as a monkey-occupied

fort. The Great War was one big event, but even that was only a passing
phase when you consider the ultimate goal of me and the Demon Lord.

I need to save myself some wasted time.

Not for the purpose of saving the world from collapse.

Then, as a stepping stone to that goal, I'll entrust the Tenth Army with a top-
secret, important mission. It's a mission to destroy the Kingdom of Anareyt,
the homeland of Yamada-kun and his brother, the hero Julius, from within.
 The job of dealing with the brave.
Kingdom of Anareyt.

It's a nation in Dasturdaya, a continent other than Casanagara, where the

demon territory is located.

As you can guess from the name "kingdom", the political form is monarchy.

However, the royal power is not that strong, and it is run by the nobles with
the king at the top.

Well, I don't really care about the political form of the kingdom.

Two things are important about the kingdom.

There is a school where children from all over the world come to study, and
there is peace.

Or to be more precise, the school is there because it is peaceful.

There are no demon nations on the continent of Daztoldeia.

Therefore, there is no war with the demon race, and since there is the Holy
Arian Church, which is the headquarters of the Shinto religion, the countries
are united around it.

There are no major conflicts between countries, and there are few areas
inhabited by vicious demons.

Among them, the Kingdom of Anareyt is blessed with a stable climate and
fertile land.

To be honest, unless you're extremely incompetent, you can make a

significant profit even if you're running the business properly.

That would make it a superpower.

Chi . ^ Nation.

And perhaps it is because we are such a stable nation that we have the luxury
of time to focus on training our younger generation, and so the school was
established.

It started out as a place to train the children of domestic aristocrats, but

before I knew it, it expanded and began to attract students from all over the
world.

You can see how wealthy the Kingdom of Anareyt is just by looking at the
phenomenon of it naturally getting bigger.

The reason why people from another continent, Casanagara, are also enrolled
in the school may be because they are evacuated from the war zone.

The continent of Casanagara is a war zone that is at war with the demon
tribe.

The safety of the school is the reason why we can leave our children there
with peace of mind.

And since the children of noblemen and sometimes royalty from various
countries come to study abroad, the Kingdom of Anarheto is connected to
those countries through thick pipes.

And a circle that transcended national boundaries was formed at the school.

Then, if you don't send your children there, they will be thrown out of the
circle.

It has become a kind of status to send one's child to the school of the
Kingdom of Anareyt, and for the upper class, it has become a matter of
course.

And so the circle grew even wider.

Well, it's a virtuous circle for the Kingdom of Analects.

It's no exaggeration to say that this is the second most influential religion
after Shintoism.0.

It's more like a threat to theism.

Well, instead of trying to get rid of them there, the Shintoism Quarity is
actively trying to capture the Analects Kingdom.

In the Kingdom of Anareyt, the cult of the Divine Word is being propagated.

And if it is propagated in the Kingdom of Analects, the children who come to

study there will naturally be exposed to the Shinto religion.

The Pope didn't just keep the human race together for a long time.

The style of brainwashing people into Naziurals. Terrible: ...-.

Well, the kingdom of Anareyt is being used as such, but its presence is huge.

It's not as bad as the Lengzand Empire, which is directly engaged in a war
with the demons. If the Lengzand Empire is the fortress that keeps the people
from the threat of the demons, then the Kingdom of Anareyt is the front line
and the safe zone in the rear.

It's a safe zone where you can run to if you need to, where nothing can shake
you unless something happens.

Therefore, if the situation there is shaken, the impact on neighboring

countries will be great.

Yes, that's why we're going dark in the Kingdom of Anareyt--.

The … is a front.

It doesn't really matter if the bukkake analyze kingdom is one of the most
influential powers in the human race.

There's one reason why I'm poking around in the Kingdom of Analects.
It's because Yamada-kun is here.

Already. … I'm already at ….. Oh, my God.

What the hell?

I'm sorry, but... --- d广----.

Two.

I feel like screaming for no reason.

It's also wrong that the things I've been doing are backfiring on me in so many
ways.

I thought I was making good preparations, but before I knew it, I felt like
mines were piling up.

And that convergence point is Yamada-kun.

Yamada, in this life, your name is Schlein. Zagan. Annaleit.

Also known as Shun.

Fourth prince of the Kingdom of Anareyt.

He is the younger brother of the previous hero, Julius the Brave.

The prince of a great nation...? Brother of a brave man?

That alone is too much setting, isn't it? I'm thinking about it, but here I added
one more oversized setting.

I didn't think I could be so brave. ….....

Do you have any idea how I felt when I found out about it through the body?

After all that! We went through so much trouble to get rid of the heroes!
And the next hero is a reincarnate of all people!

And Yamada-kun, who is closely related to the previous generation of

heroes!

I'm feeling yakuman! I mean, I'm full of shit!

This is so unexpected^.

We need to revise our plan, and fast!

The first basic premise is that our goal is to save this world from collapse.

This world will collapse in the near future.

That's definite.

The future is certain to come if we don't do anything about it.

In order to prevent this, we have to destroy the life support system of this
world. It's not that you think it's a bad idea^------ that you're dying early^-----
-----. The system is what keeps this world alive, but it also contains a
tremendous amount of energy.

The reason for the collapse of this world is the lack of energy.

Bunre.

The strategy is to capture that missing energy from the system.

The power that is being used to power the life support system could be used
to shock the patient back to life.

It's such a pretty dangerous bridge, but theoretically it should be possible.

In fact, since the system was designed by that evil evil god 0, I'm sure he has
a few tricks up his sleeve.

And when I actually looked for it, I found it: ….

So, I'm on a mission to destroy the system, but there are a few processes that
I need to clear.

As Satsuki said, this strategy of destroying the system is a very dangerous

bridge.

If it fails, this world, which has lost its life support system, will collapse in a
matter of seconds.

That's why you have to be very prepared to tackle this project so that you
don't fail in any way.

I can say that my activities over the past few years have been spent preparing
for this.

The war between demons and humans is, in a word, a part of that.

The main purpose of that war was twofold.

One is to secure energy.

So far, there was not enough energy.

It used to take energy to break the system 3 times.

In order to secure that energy, it was necessary to kill a large number of

people.

The system is a mechanism that collects the status and skills that people
develop while they are alive, as well as their energy when they die.

And due to the large number of deaths that occurred in the war, the minimum
amount of energy to reach the passing lanes has been secured.

It's just a minimum, though, and I'd really like to have at least one extra in
case something unexpected happens.

Thanks to the precious sacrifices of the demon and human races, we have
succeeded in securing energy. The people who were turned into energy may
not be happy about it, but it's to prevent the world from collapsing.

It is the sacrifice of the small to save the large.

I close my eyes to the fact that the number of small sacrifices is dangerous.

I'll have you know that I'm in such dire straits that I can't do anything in this
world anymore without making that many sacrifices.

And.

The most important of these noble sacrifices were the brave ones.

That is the second major objective.

Eliminate the brave!

If you're a brave person, you can always go to ------卩.

It's an official cheat guaranteed by the system: ……. 0.

There are many perks to being a hero, but one of the most dangerous is the
Demon Lord special effect. Demon kings are chosen from among the demon
races, and demon races have higher stakes and live longer than human races.

In that case, experienced demon kings and the like would have no chance
against the human race.

In order to overturn this, special effects against the Demon King are set for
the heroes.

No matter how strong the Demon Lord is, the heroes are more than capable
of fighting against him... With backup from Nstem.

... Consume that amount of energy.

And? Who is this generation's Demon Lord?

You know, the Demon Lord of this generation is Aryel-san of Orisintara Tect-
-^.

The average status of 90,000 is no longer a bug, right? It's the strongest one
in the world.

angle.

0.033 meters square (one-hundredth of a tsubo).

What would happen if such a Demon Lord and a hero collided?

If the heroes receive system backup and power up to fight the demon king, it's
obvious that a tremendous amount of energy^- will be consumed.

You can't let the demon king be killed, of course, but you also can't let the
heroes fight the demon king.

Moreover, the brave have special equipment.

Its name is the Heroic Sword.

It's a name that makes me want to grow grass, but it's performance is just as
bad.

It's only a one-time thing, but it can deal a blow that can slaughter even a god
or something.

... If I ate that, I'd probably die, right?

After all, it was created by that 0.

I'm just guessing, but I feel like this is one of those subterfuges where you can
kill the giyuri giyuri and use them for energy. I think it's one of those
backdoor tricks.

It's the same as breaking the system. …....

What about when an unrelated deity from the outside world wanders into our
world?

Whatever it is, even I will die if you use that heroic sword.

Just by existing, you've become a monster.

The purpose was to dispose of such dangerous materials.

If I have to, I'll just let him waste his sword on you!

Just one! If you just kill them off, you'll only create the next generation of
heroes!

So, I tried to intervene in the system and erase the very existence of the hero!
You're going to erase the settings of the heroes from the system.

In order to do so, it was necessary to eliminate Julius and hack into the
system before the title was transferred to the next generation of heroes.

The timing was pretty severe, but I had already prepared in advance, so it
would work out.

It was supposed to be ….

Well, as it turns out, this attempt did not go well.

After so many preparations, ….

I thought it would be impossible to defeat her without using the heroic sword,
so I made a queen disembodiment that resembled Mother and hit her, but she
won without using it. …

Thanks to this, I had to go on a business trip myself. …

The brave man's chi 1 ^^ special effect may be activated even with me, so I
wish someone other than me would kill me naturally.
Now that I think about it, maybe the reason the queen alter was defeated was
because the cheat special effect was activated against it.

The colonel and his goons who fought the brave group were also killed in
battle.

I was going to collect it at a suitable place, but I'm not going to show that
kind of humor. ...... The eradication of the brave was successful, but to be
clear, it was a failure.

It was also a disaster.

I'm already way off schedule, failing and failing big time!

… ha.

Well, there was no way around the fact that we were off schedule.

I'm asking Julius the Brave to die for our situation, and it's only natural that
he would resist it.

The brave Julius didn't know about these circumstances, but he was just a
brave man who fought honestly.

Yes, we fought honestly, and we defeated all of their intentions.

I had underestimated the bravery of the brave.

I thought I was sufficiently alert.

That's why I've made so many preparations and devised a plan to eliminate
them.

But what I was wary of was the system's guarantee of a hero. But I was wary
of the system's guarantee of a heroic existence.

It wasn't about Julius, the individual.

That was a mistake.

I was reminded that what we should really be wary of is the person who is
chosen to be a hero.

A brave man is a brave man because he is worthy of it.

It means that a mere human being is worthy of wielding the miraculous power
of a hero.

You're not strong because you have cheat powers, you're strong because
you're the right person to have cheat^ powers.

Belief, determination, and pride.

The strength that oozes from within is the power that the hero must truly
guard against.

In a way, it was inevitable that I would fail because I had misjudged it.

So I swallowed that as a point to reflect on.

But for that! I kinda want to complain about what happened afterwards!

Why, why, why is Yamada-kun the next hero!

To be clear, most of us have no problem being brave.

Because the main prominent people were involved in the Great War, and
more than half of them died in the war.

Even the other half are not as good as the brave Julius.

It would be even more lucrative if a young, or even a young child, who has
not participated in the war is appointed as a hero in anticipation of the future.

Such a young hero, by the time our plan is fulfilled, he will not be able to
grow up in time.

The fact that I was able to defeat Eurythmics proves that brave men are not
completely invincible, no matter how much of an official team they are.
If a person who seems to be inconvenient to us becomes a hero, at the very
least I can take care of him or her quickly.

That's what I thought!

It's the worst when you open the lid.

It's a reincarnation that's harder to get a handle on than most, and Yamada-kun
is one of the most skilled fighters out there.

Well, let's leave the fighting ability aside for now.

Considering the fighting ability of the Kotsuchi camp, it's within the margin
of error no matter who becomes the hero.

The strongest among the reincarnated is probably Tagawa-kun or Kushitani-

san.

Yamada-kun was next.

Tagawa-kun and Kushitani-san are adventurers, gaining experience through

repeated battles in various places.

The two of them couldn't even defeat the Mellerites with two people.

Mera didn't even get hit. ….

He's the weakest of us all. He's the weakest of us all. …

If you can't defeat it, you're a disgrace to the reincarnated. …

I've tried to use the Four Heavenly Kings as an excuse, but in reality, Mera is
the weakest of us all. If the two of us can't even beat Mera, then we don't
deserve any attention in terms of fighting ability. I'm sure that Yamada-kun,
who became a hero, has surpassed Tagawa-kun and Kushitani-san in terms of
status now that he is a hero, but in terms of pure combat ability, I think that
Tagawa-kun and Kushitani-san, who have actual battle experience, are just as
good.
So, it doesn't matter what your fighting skills are, but it's the rest of the world
that you should be wary of.

First of all, Yamada-kun is a reincarnated person.

It makes it difficult for me to intervene.

It's not that I don't care about my own personal feelings, but the doctor is
working hard to help the reincarnated.

I owe him a lot.

I owe him a debt of gratitude for saving my life, even though it was in a
previous life.

I want to return the favor.

So I want to respect the teacher's wishes as much as possible.

So, we work to help the reincarnated as much as possible.

That being the case, I'm hesitant to eliminate them quickly.

Secondly, Yamada-kun is the younger brother of Julius the Brave.

Julius the Brave had a tremendous influence.

Just because he is the younger brother of Julius the Brave, I can predict that
there will be people who will lend a hand.

And Yamada himself is ready to take over from Julius the Brave.

He is bent on avenging the death of Julius the Brave.

If he is so motivated, he will surely try to sabotage us if we move.

After all, we are the demon army.

I mean, I'm the one who avenged Julius the Brave. ….....
And finally, and this is the most difficult and annoying part to read, is the
unique skill that Yamada-kun possesses.

From what I've learned through espionage with my subdivision, it seems that
Yamada's unique skill is called Heaven's Blessing.

The effect seems to be to make it easier for the person to get the results they
want. …

It's a very abstract skill with a very abstract effect.

It's kind of a luck-based skill.

Most of the skills have fixed values and their effects are visible, but this one
is the exact opposite, and you can't really tell how effective it is.

Even if things go well, I can't tell if it's simply because of my own ability,
luck, or the effect of this heavenly blessing.

But it is precisely such skills that I am wary of.

It's hard to imagine that the unique skill that that 0 gave him as a reincarnation
bonus is a subtle effect. It may be a slightly lucky effect that we are not
usually aware of, but at the most critical moment, I feel like I would never
make the wrong choice.

However, for him.

In other words, it could be the worst possible outcome for Yamada's

enemies. And I guess that enemy is us ^……. 0.

Worst of all, Yamada-kun's well-meaning choices could make it impossible

for us to achieve our main goal of avoiding the collapse of the world.

Because the effects are difficult to understand, it is frightening to see to what

extent the skills of Heavenly Blessing interfere with what might be called
destiny.

Difficult to deal with.

For these reasons, I'm planning to ask Yamada-kun to leave for now.

Oh, of course, don't you say such a noisy thing from this world?

It's just a matter of physically keeping them away from the center of the
incident so that they can't interfere.

The brave Julius has been successfully eliminated, and Yamada's heavenly
blessing is surely not a panacea.

If he was all-powerful, Yamada-kun's beloved hero Julius wouldn't have

died, you know.

Perhaps, if the event is imperceptible to him, the interference of heavenly

blessings will not work.

kanji "dotted cliff" radical (radical 53).

what?

So, I will let the Kingdom of Anareyt collapse once and for all.

What? You said it was noisy enough?

I don't care. I don't care.

So, let's start with the fall of the Kingdom of Anarete!

 The job of being the actual mastermind behind
Blood 1.
"Mmm-hmm. At last. I'm finally going to be able to give those bastards a run
for their money!"

Oh one, oh one, oh-.

I'm so chic. ….

"Hey, Sofia, don't be a pussy."

"Yes, yes."

A man in full body armor growls at me in frustration.

If I were a normal person, I'd get angry if he talked to me like this, but when I
think about how pathetic he is, I don't feel like getting angry.

A man walking in front of me, shoulders wide, Hugo. Van. Lengzand.

He is the prince of the Lengzand Empire and is studying at the Academy of

the Kingdom of Anareyt.

However, I rarely went to that school.

I've been under house arrest for something I did about five years ago.

I haven't asked him what he did, because I'm not interested, but from the look
of him, I'd say he gave those guys a run for their money and got beaten back.

If that's the case, one of them must be the target of the next attack, the prince
of this country, Schlein.

Oh, one. Oh, I.

I don't know what I'm doing here.

What's this? What do you mean?

I'm not good at that kind of thing.

It's always better to hit someone in a straightforward manner.

But I need to do this, too.

The role I've been given is to support this guy, Yuko.

This one is also a reincarnation, but he has a bit of a grudge against his
target, so the master found him and turned him into a pawn.

... It's really pathetic when you think about it.

I mean, I can still vividly recall the time when this guy was used as a pawn.

"Oh, shit! This can't end like this! This world is mine! It's mine, mine and
mine alone, for me! I don't accept how this ends! I won't accept it! I won't let
it end until I have everything I want!"

"The fucking elf! I swear to God, I'll get you back! I'll never forgive you, I'll
never forgive you!"

"Someday I'm going to take everything he's got! Just like he took everything
from me!"

"Wait for me! I'm going to destroy everything he cares about! I'm going to
destroy everything he cares about, and then I'm going to laugh at that crying
bitch and rape her to death!"

"Hold on, I'm gonna take this world back."

He was ranting and raving about it.

"Can I help you?"

I got tired of the fact that he didn't notice me at all, so I called out to him.
"Who are you?"
Hugo turns around, startled.

Master's transfer took me directly into Hugo's room, so from Hugo I's
perspective, I was suddenly standing behind him.

That would be a surprise.

This is the place to teach a flustered Hugo that we are superior.

"As a reincarnate, I can help you out, okay?"

He smiled meaningfully at her, as if he could afford it.

"… What? A reincarnation?"

Hugo wrinkles his brow.

Well, he's not stupid enough to jump on me for making such a strange
appearance out of nowhere.

"I don't care who you are. I don't care who you are. I don't care who you are,
as long as you can get back at them, demon or not."

Oh, that was stupid.

"I'm in. I'll take you up on that!"

"Yes, you do? Master."

"What?"

Quickly moving behind Yuko, a white shadow.

The shadow came from behind, blocking Hugo's mouth with its right hand,
preventing him from screaming. Then it blocks his movement and gently
places its remaining left hand on the side of Hugo's head.

Then a tiny little spider, small enough to fit on a white fingertip, travels from
his hand and … into Hugo's ear.
A moment later, Yugo's body jerked and convulsed.

I turned white and passed out in a daze.

That's what happened to me. …

The man walking confidently in front of me now has that little spider in his
head.

Power...

Hugo doesn't seem to remember what happened that day, but since then he's
been strangely receptive to Kotsuchi's advice.

I knew that spider was a brainwashing ….

Maybe you're in my head too: …?

Shake your head to get rid of the unpleasant anticipation.

I'm under a weird curse, but it's not like I've got a spider in my head! I'm
sure.

... I don't think so.

Master is merciless when it comes to discarding people, but he is very

lenient when it comes to his own people.

There's no way that master would do that to me, a judged member of his
family.

They have different values from other people, so they can do things that I
would find offensive.

Would you normally start a war just to achieve a goal?

It was on a scale that would leave deep scars on both the human race and the
demon race.
Well, I know that's what I need to do, don't you?

But the fact that he does it without hesitation is what makes him a master, isn't
it?

On the other hand, they do their best to overprotect and pamper their
relatives.

I can tell by the way you're acting towards Mr. Aryel.

Aryel-san is much stronger than me, but his master keeps him carefully
hidden and keeps him away from the battlefield so that there is no danger.

I'm jealous.

I suppressed my buzzing chest with the force of my will.

No, no, no, no.

My jealousy was about to explode.

The skill I have, jealousy, is very effective, but it also has a lot of
disadvantages.

It's hard to control your emotions.

I've always been a very emotional person, but because of my jealousy skills,
I'm even more so. I think it's a bad habit of mine that I tend to run wild with
my emotions, and I'd like to fix it, but if it were that easy, I wouldn't have any
trouble.

In order to reduce the effects of jealousy, though, I've acquired exoteric

resistance.

We haven't reached the point where we can override the exoteric, so we

haven't been able to completely block out the effects.

Breathe deeply so as not to be noticed.

In the meantime, we had arrived at the destination of Yu^~ko^~ga, who was
walking one shaving.

The door is thrown open messily without a knock.

"Just... At least knock."

"It's just you and me, man. You should forgive me for that."

The man who greeted him in the room deepened the wrinkles on his brow at
Hugo's words.

This man who looks unhappy all the time is Sairis, the first prince of this
country.

Our pawn, like Hugo.

The two pieces, I guess.

He is an ordinary man with a lot of pride, and he can't admit that his younger
brothers are better than him.

He is the son of the queen and the first prince, but the second prince, Julius,
is a brave man and has more fame than him.

His younger brother, the fourth prince, Schlein, has been hailed as a child
prodigy ever since he was a child. On the other hand, Sairis is inferior in
every way as the next king.

There is nothing particularly outstanding about it.

That's why he's so scared that his brother will take away his title as the next
king.

I asked him to help me get rid of my brother, and he agreed.

Well, it's a power struggle, just like in a story.

"Is it really going to work?"

"Of course not. Who do you think I am?"

Sayliss questions Hugo with an irritated look, as if to disguise her anxiety.

You don't even have the guts to try to grab the throne on your own with the
help of others.

Little man.

Well, it's because he's such a small guy that we can use him without any
hesitation.

"No one's seen your face, have they?"

"Hey, hey! Look at the way I'm dressed!"

Hugo spun around to show off his whole body with his arms outstretched in
disgust.

Hugo is now fully clothed in armor and has a helmet on his head.

It's hard to tell who's inside with this.

It's obvious at a glance, but he must be very anxious because he's asking me
to confirm it like this.

You don't have to be so anxious.

We've got your back, okay?

There's no way in hell I'm going to fail.

Yeah, I know, but...

It's a success for us, but not necessarily for them.

Sairis wanders around the room, looking restless.

Hugo, on the other hand, is sitting in his chair, looking relaxed.

I put my back against the wall and crossed my arms to pass the time.

I guess it's time.

As I listened carefully, I heard a knock on the door of the next room.

"It's Schlein."

"Yeah? Come on in."

"Excuse me."

You're here.

Target in the next room, looks like Schrain's in there.

"What's wrong?"

The owner of the room who greeted Shlain, the king of this country, Sairis
and Shlain's father, asked him.

"No, it was your father who summoned me, wasn't it? What are your
requirements?"

"Hmm? I didn't call you, did I?"

Sled, that's right.

What can I say? We were the ones who called them out.

Then the sound breaks off unnaturally.

As if in inverse proportion to this, a hint of magic filled the room next door.

He used wind magic to block out the sound.

And what about the surgeon?

"What are you doing?"

puffer fish.

I'm not a stick reader.

The one who just let out a barbed scream was the child of the surgeon.

Then, using the scream as a cue, Sairis ran out of the room and into the next
room, throwing the door open with great force.

Yugo followed suit.

I walked leisurely after him without hurrying.

"What's going on?"

"Your brother killed my father!"

"What's wrong with you, Shireen?"

Oh? Cylis is a very good actor, isn't he?

Why don't you become an actor instead of a king?

What a shame it's too late for that.

"Guards! Chyrein has attacked His Majesty the King!"

Sairis's voice echoed well in the hallway.

Actually, I'm magically turning up the volume.

With such a loud voice, I'm sure even the uninvolved and uninformed could
hear it. "Seize Shireen I."

When I leisurely looked into the room from the hallway, I saw that Hugo was
just about to slash Chyrein with his sword.

The room was in a dismal state.

The king had been shot in the forehead and was out of action, Siyulainn was
holding the cut wound with her hand, and a small girl was standing there with
a languid face.

"Well. You're a brave man."

"Oh, front. Youko'-?"

"You're right."

Hugo takes off his helmet.

"Hugo. Don't bother revealing yourself."

"It's good, isn't it? It's like a gift from the dead."

Chyrein seems to be confused by the exchange between Sairis and Yuko.

Thanks to you, he doesn't even know I'm in the room.

"You want to know? This brother wants the throne. I want you and Oka to get
back together. You were in the way for both of us."

"Nah, and …. The next king should be Brother Sairis."

"But it's crazy. That slammed king was planning to make the next king Temee.
If he announces Temee as the next king before announcing him as a hero, he
will not be able to easily go to the battlefield as a hero. Think about it! "

"I won't let my throne be taken away for such a trivial matter!"

It's true that the king was planning to make Siuillein the next king.

We didn't do anything about this.

Other than that, though, it's mostly our fault.

"Brother. I'm afraid you'll have to die here."

And the girl who had been silent up to this point, Sureshia, the princess of
this country, opened her mouth.

She's a princess, which means she's the sister of Shireen and the others.

"Sue, why?"

"Brother, I've just realized my true love. I'm willing to kill my brother for
that." This girl Suresh was very attached to Shi Yuelein, so this change must
be a surprise to Shi Yuelein.

"Yoo-hoo-hoo! You did this to me?"

Well, so you'll notice.

"Oh? Did you notice? Did you notice? Yes, I did. It was me. What do you
think? How does it feel to have something taken from you? Isn't it marvelous?
I've tasted it myself, so I know exactly what it's like. The effect is
brainwashing."
That's how he's controlling Su~lesia.

"Put Sue back in her place now!"

"I've been told to put it back. Isn't that a bakery?"

Hugo despises Siyulein, but he doesn't realize that the user of brainwashing
is being brainwashed.

A truly pathetic man.

It's a temporary feeling of superiority.

Well, I guess that's why I'm being attacked like a cat biting a mouse.

"Gumshoe: You still have this kind of power."

The enraged Siyulein punches Yugo away.

It looks like he's about to unleash some more magic to follow up.

I guess we'll have to help them.

"Oh? You're working harder than I thought."

"Mouth:"

Activate the Tenrin and Dragon Bound skills to interfere with magic.

At the same time, I release the presence that I had erased until then.

Instantly, Shireen rolled herself away from me.

Wow. It's a rather good response.

Just as I was admiring her, Chyulainn turned around and looked at me, and a
sudden feeling of discomfort hit me all over.

This feeling …. Appraisal.

Too bad though.

I am the jealous one and the dominant one.

The ruler's authority allows him to interfere with the appraisal.

So my status is unreadable.

"Sofia! This one's mine! Don't you dare come out here!"

"What? You've been beaten senseless."

You would have been in danger if I hadn't helped you.

"Yeah... don't get in a fight... get rid of Shireen."

... Will you stop ordering me around?

Besides, you can't kill Chyrein.

That's why we need to get someone to help us get out of here.

"I won't let you."

Look, here comes the helper, okay?

A small figure bursts into the room.

It^'1)1 unleashes a law and blows up the you^~co^-.

But since I'm using a dragon ward to reduce its power, it probably won't do
much damage. ^-ai^-kaa^-""

See, the evidence is full of energy.

But let's prevent any more chase magic, shall we?

The small intruder, an elf who is the reincarnation of our homeroom teacher
from a previous life, Mr. Okazaki, should counteract the magic he releases.

"Oh, you're a mouth..."

The doctor's eyes widen.

We've only recently met elsewhere, haven't we?

And it was a rather shocking scene.

You'd be surprised to find me here.

"I'll get you out of here."

The teacher shattered the floor with her magic, causing a cloud of dust to roll
up.

"But..."
simplicity.

-No! Let's pull back for now!

"Mr. Hye-Rinse."

"Reston told me that Syun was in danger, so I rushed over. I know you're
confused, but I think you should run for now."

Power I I""

There was such an exchange in the depths of the dust, and I could hear
footsteps running away.

"What the hell are you doing? After him!"

Sairis shouts, but I also ignore Yu^ -co^-----^ it.

"Well, let's stick to the plan, shall we?"

"Yeah. I'll take care of it."

Hugo chuckled and walked over to Sairis.

"What's …?"

Sairis sensed a disturbing presence and backed away.

"No, not at all. I'm just messing with your head a little bit."

"kanji:"

Hugo's hand quickly reached out and grabbed Sairis' head.

"What are you doing?"

"This is the end of our cooperation with you. The rest of the time, you'll be a
disposable pawn."
"Gghhhhhh, mouth:"

Sairis lets out a cry of anguish.

I leave the room without seeing it through to the end.

What Hugo is doing to Sairis now is not brainwashing, but mental

destruction.

The reason why it wasn't brainwashing was because Sairis already had a
visitor ahead of him.

Sairis was originally manipulated.

He doesn't seem to be aware of it, and when he says he's being controlled,
it's more like his thoughts are being guided.

However, if you are willing to have your mind broken and irreversible, as
Hugo is now doing with his, you are primed to be a complete puppet.

And the only way to override that control is to destroy the spirit once and for
all.

So you make your mind white with every domination.

As a matter of fact, many people in this country are already under the same
control as the Sairis in secret.

The king is one of them.

So I killed it.

It is necessary to disrupt the Kingdom of Anareyt because the upper echelons

are poisoned.

Master said that the decision to make Chyleen the next king was probably the
result of being guided by his thoughts.

I don't know the purpose of it, though.

Maybe it's because he wanted to keep the brave Shirein in his possession
instead of handing him over to the church, as his master once speculated.

The kingdom had to be thoroughly destroyed and the pus had to be drained
out.

That's why the castle has started to exterminate them all at once.

He has Scyllis' soldiers attack anyone who is under his control.

And among those soldiers, there are members of the Tenth Army of the
demon tribe mixed in.

This way, we won't miss our target.

And now I am going to eliminate the source of the plot to rule this kingdom
from the shadows.

"Have a nice day."

Then came the one room in the castle where the guests were lodged.

The person who was waiting for me there was Poteimus.

"… This noise. I knew it was you."

"Pest control is a big business."

"Hmm. It's an abomination."

Poteimus faced me unhurriedly.

"… I can't beat you with this body."

"Oh? You're so graceful."

This man possesses a body called the body and controls it remotely, and the
main body seems to be in the village of the elves.
So no matter how much you kill the body, the main body will not die.

I guess that's why he's so relaxed, but I didn't think he'd show any signs of
resistance. "Tell White and Aryel that I'm coming."

Poteimus says without changing his expression, but with a dark fire lighting
up the back of his eyes.

"I will wait for you in the Elven village. I will do my best to crush your
hubris."

"I'll let him know."

But since he is the master, he is probably watching this through his body. I
don't want to look at his unpleasant face any longer, so I cut off his head with
a single thought.

Poteimus' head rolls on the floor.

By the way, the master is ….

It's quite an eye opener to be called names before your long-time nemesis,
Aryel-san.

That's what I've been doing, though.

Let's see.

Now all that's left is for Siyulein to escape safely and the plan will be
complete.

That's no fun, is it?

It's a little indigestible, partly because of Potimus' lack of resistance.

So.

Let's go have a little fun, shall we?

 A Tragedy Occurs to a Quiet Elf.
"What? Long time no see."

The girl smiled bewitchingly as she said that.

It had been many years since I had last seen her, and she was still a little girl
then.

At that time, she was small, unapproachable, and my sheltered object, or so I

thought. But when I saw her again, she was ….

"Negishi, Chian. …"

"Can you please stop calling me that?"

Negishi-chan licked his fingers in displeasure.

Her gestures were lustrous and made her look more mature than her actual
age.

It seemed to be a clear indication that he was no longer a child and did not
need my protection.

Even more so when I licked it off my finger and saw that it was fresh, red
blood.

"I've made a distinction between my past life and my present life. I'm no
longer a person to be pitied by the teacher like in my previous life."

"Pity. ....."

I couldn't deny what Negishi-chan had said.

In my previous life, Negishi-chan was in a less than flattering position.

I was sure I was floating in the class.

I thought I was doing my best to reach out to them, but if you say that it was
out of pity rather than pride as a teacher, I think you might be right.

"Horse, stupid ..... That's ridiculous."

The elven summoner shouts.

The fresh blood that Negishi-chan licked up belonged to the demon he had
summoned.

He is renowned as the best summoner among the elves, and his best
summoned beast.

An eight-ranked demon, comparable to a dragon species, had been torn to

shreds to the point where it could no longer retain its original form.

"Horse and Deer! Horse ....."

The summoner's voice, which had been deliriously shouting the same words,
was unnaturally cut off.

I turned to look and saw the body of a summoner who had lost his head and
collapsed.

The chakram, which must have beheaded the summoner, somehow ended up
in the hands of the white-clad girl who was standing beside Negishi-chan.

Besides me standing there in a daze, there were no more elves standing

around.

The elves fall down.

A sea of blood spread out on the ground.

"How can you ----? How can you do this ….?"

I couldn't help but ask.

"Why? Because the elves are a distraction for us."

Negishi-chan replied as if it were a matter of course.

"We? 丨."

"So. We."

"You're still a demon. …"

The last time I saw Negishi-chan was at the edge of the empire.

After that, she was taken by the demon tribe to the demon territory.

In other words, Negishi-chan had decided to join the demon tribe, or so he

thought. "Ah. Well, if you call them demons, then they are demons, aren't
they?"

"What?"

But what came back to me was the unnatural tone of voice.

"You're running a demon tribe, yes. But we're not really demons, are we?"

"You're not a demon?"

So what the hell is it?

"You don't know what it's like to be an administrator."

My eyes widened at those words.

Why? Why?

What came out of Negishi-chan's mouth was an impossible existence.

I myself was told of its existence, but I was skeptical that it really existed.

"What kind of elf would be so stupid as to antagonize an administrator?"

"Are you! Are you saying that you are doing this under the direction of an
administrator?"

"That's what I'm saying."

"Miss Sofia."

The girl in white called out his name as if she was trying to teach him a
lesson.

"Yes, yes. I'm trying to tell you that you talk too much. You're so uptight."

Yes, Negishi-chan laughs as he teases the girl in white.

Her smile made her look like a normal girl of her age.

If only it hadn't been a bloody hell, and if it hadn't been Negishi and his
friends who had done it. I couldn't understand how they could laugh at that
situation.

The Negishi I knew was no longer there.

She had been a difficult child in her previous life, but now she felt like
something else, something horrible.

"No. I'll let you off the hook for the sake of acquaintance. Now that you know
the difference in power, don't bother me again."

Then, with a bang, Negishi-chan led a group of white-robed men away.

That's what happened just recently.

There had been a series of disappearances of elves in the empire near the
demon territory, and I had gone there to find out what had happened.

I was the only one who survived, even though I took a number of other
skilled elves with me as well as a summoner.
It's not like they were able to get away with it or anything, they just missed it.
…

And perhaps Satsuki, too, at …...

We had escaped to the mansion where Reston was based.

"I'm going to meet Mr. Reston here. After that, I will leave the country."

"Hold on, Doctor, we've got to do something about this guy."

"No, sir."

Siyun suggested that I go back to Hugo and put an end to this mess, but I
couldn't do that.

Because, Negishi-chan is here!

No matter how brave he becomes, I don't think he can beat Negishi-chan,

who can easily slaughter even 5 rank demons.

Why is she here, when she should be in the demon territory far away from
this kingdom?

The most likely explanation is that Hugo made him use the transfer team.

The kingdom and the empire each have a transfer station, which allows you
to warp from the distant empire to the kingdom.

In the Empire, you are in contact with the demon territory, and Negishi-chan
was actually involved in the assassination of elves in the Empire.

I don't know how he did it, but he probably came into contact with Hugo
while he was working for the Empire.

And they have their eyes on the power of Yu^~co^~ and are using it to their
advantage: ……. 0 Anyway, the situation is terrible.
We don't know how far Negishi and his friends have gotten into the country,
and we need to leave the country and evacuate to a safer place.

"Sir. If we can take care of him now, this whole mess will calm down. We
can go back to the castle and get him."

"No, sir."

"Mr.!"

Even if I were to explain the dangers of Negishi-chan, I doubt I could

convince Shiyun-kun.

So I will try to convince him from another angle.

"The Church has announced a new hero. His name is Hugo, Van. Lengzand."

St. Alais, the headquarters of the Divine Word religion.

The Pope, the head of the Church, recently announced that he would name
Hugo as the next generation of heroes.

It was because of that announcement that I rushed back to this kingdom.

"What?"

Siyun-kun let out a dumb voice.

When I heard the announcement, I had the same reaction.

The title is absolute.

The brave man is definitely Shun-kun, who holds that title.

And yet, the church announced Hugo as a hero.

There is nothing more fishy than that.

And then, there was this commotion.

"Even the church is in on this."

So that's what it is, and that's what I have to decide.

As I said before, titles are absolute.

Although the skill of appraisal is rare, there are people who have it, like
Shun-kun.

And there is such a thing as an appraisal stone.

If you use them, it will soon be exposed that Hugo is not a brave man.

Nevertheless, the fact that the church announced Hugo as a brave man means
that there is some hidden agenda there.

"Do you have any idea why the Church is involved in this nonsense, Lord
Elf?"

Ms. Hyliens asks me if I've come to the same conclusion.

I already have the answer to that question in my mind.

"I think it's reasonable to assume that you've infiltrated the church's inner
sanctum, and that you've been manipulated by him. I heard from Shiyun on the
road that you were being manipulated."

What can be derived from this is that Hugo used his power to take control of
the church and announce himself as a hero.

"Nonsense. Brainwashing has an instantaneous effect. They shouldn't be

effective enough to cause a situation like this."

Mr. Hyles gives a skeptical opinion, but it's already out of order considering
what Soo-chan did.

Brainwashing that encourages suicide or suicide by others is quite

challenging.
Even on the original Earth, it was considered difficult to make a person do
something that he or she had a great sense of rejection for, such as suggestion.

It's the same here. Even if you can get a person to listen to you temporarily
with your skills, if the person has a strong sense of rejection, the
brainwashing will break down immediately.

However, there is only one exceptional skill that makes this possible.

"Yes. Normally, yes, but there are exceptions."

"Exceptions?"

This is the top level skill of the Seven Deadly Sins series, "Lust. The
brainwashing effect of this skill is incomparable to other skills. There are
several special skills in this world, and I am sure that Hugo has this skill."

The Seven Deadly Sins series, and the Seven Virtues series.

For some reason, I asked Hotei Masuka to give me an overview of this

particular skill.

One of them is the desire for color.

It is the skill of getting people to do your bidding through strong

brainwashing.

The effects of the skills of the Seven Deadly Sins series that Poteimus told
me about were all unbelievable, but Chromatic Greed was the one that stuck
in my memory because it was the most gruesome of them all.

However, Poteimus also didn't seem to know how effective the chromatic
desire was, only guessing at its effects from someone who had had it in the
past.

So we do not know how many people Hugo actually brainwashes or is able

to do so.
"I don't know how far they're reaching. I think it's better to think that this
country is already ruined."

"Such as ....."

For now, it is best to play it safe and get out of this country to regain our
bearings.

"That's no good. If we do this now, it might not be too late to get rid of him!"

"No."

I have a reason why I can't do it, and as long as Sophia is here, we don't
stand a chance.

Sophia, Negishi-chan has a strength that separates him from the rest of us.

In the Great War, I entered the war as a member of the human race.

The purpose was to make contact with Tagawa-kun and Kushitani-chan, who
were also participating in the war, and there I met one of the generals of the
demon tribe called Merazophis.

The Merazophis was so strong that even with all of us working together, we
were barely able to reach each other.

We are not evenly matched.

It's a matter of whether or not you can reach an even match.

That Merazophis is a former squire of the birth family of Root3序ちyan.

According to Potimus' research, he used to be just an ordinary human being,

but thanks to Negishi-chan's power, he became a vampire and acquired his
current abilities.

In other words, the power of Negishi-chan, the master of Merazophis, is

more than that.
I'm not proud of it, but my status is quite high.

I was no match for Merazophis without the help of Tagawa-kun, Kushitani-

chan, and others who seemed to be even better than me.

That fierce battle, in which Tagawa-kun looked as if he was about to be cut

down, made me feel the fear of death very close to me, even though I was in
the rear guard.

More than that, I couldn't help but think that Tagawa-kun and Kushitani-chan
would really die in front of my eyes.

When Kushitani-chan was seriously injured, I was terrified, as if my core

was about to freeze. After all that, she was a difficult opponent to defeat.

Negishi-chan is stronger than that Merazophis.

There is no way we can win.

"Doctor, who the hell is that?"

Shiyun-kun finally noticed my uncanny appearance and asked me about it.

"She's at …."

And just as I opened my mouth to explain about Negishi-chan, Reston-kun

and the others came to the door.

I'm sorry about the timing, but right now, escape is more important than
explanation.

When we get out of here safely, that's when I'll explain everything properly.

Even so ...

"Strike one, strike two!"

Negishi-chan stood in front of us again.

 The job of overthrowing the kingdom.
I'm observing the situation through the minutes, and I'm giddy!

We've got a lot of events coming up!

From Yamada's point of view, the king was killed by his little sister, but then
Natsume, who was supposed to have disappeared after the incident,
appeared with great enthusiasm.

In addition, the first prince, Sairis, conspired with Natsume to cause a

ku^~deta^- and put the blame for the king's murder on Yamada-kun.

I guess this is what a bolt from the blue feels like.

Poor Yamada-kun was falsely accused and had to flee the royal capital. Poor
thing...:0.

,or? Well, what is it?

Well, that's true, isn't it?

However, if I hadn't arranged for this to happen, it might have been even
more disastrous.

Natsume would have resented Yamada and the teacher and would have gone
out of control no matter what.

The first prince, Sairis, had a sense of inferiority to his younger brothers and
was so obsessed with the throne that he could have gone out of control.

On top of that, Potimus's poisonous fangs had infiltrated the upper echelons
of the kingdom, right?

There were bombs in many places.

The only thing we did was to detonate the bomb at a convenient time and
with a convenient directionality.

I took care of the bomb for you!

So it's not my fault.

So I'm going to say it.

... No? Not allowed?

Mmmm. I can't help it. I'll admit it.

I'm sorry, sir.

Well, I've already killed a king and some other things.

Even though it was manipulated, the younger sister who killed the king might
have been engraved with trauma --- 〇

I know I'm being vicious!

But I'm not gonna stop.

I mean, I can't stop.

Maybe there is a smarter way to solve this, but I'm doing the best I can.

At any rate, I was able to take advantage of this chaos and take out all the
people in the upper echelons of the kingdom who were under Potimus'
poisonous influence.

Potimus himself was chopped off by a bloodsucker.

As usual, it's not the main body, so it will probably come out using a different
body sooner or later, but if we had gone this far, we would have been able to
get him to back off from the kingdom for now.

This completes most of the missions.

After that, just let Yamada and the others go and you're good to go.

You can't do anything big anymore, because you've lost your biggest backer,
the kingdom.

You can just hide out somewhere until it's all over.

I thought, "Yamada, you're struggling because of the people Natsume

brainwashed."

You feel like you can't attack the brainwashed Oshima-kun.

I'm sorry. I thought it wouldn't be too difficult for Yamada to neutralize

Oshima if he's good enough, but did I overestimate him?

I don't know, maybe it's more of an emotional thing.

You can't just turn on your best friend from a previous life without hesitation.

But still, …

"Katya! Come to your senses!"

"Shut up. I am sane. If you are a traitor, be a traitor and be punished."

Yamada cancels out Oshima's fire magic with his water magic.

The scene was flashy, but perhaps because we're so used to seeing
hyperdimensional battles above, it wasn't quite powerful enough.

I'm sure they're trying their best to fight, but there's just not enough tension in
the air. …

Well, that's why, or rather, it looks like Yamada and Oshima are doing it.

I know I keep saying it, but they're fighting like hell, you know?

But compared to battles with mythical demons, it's not as powerful, is it?
Maybe it was because I was so rude and distracted watching the game that I
didn't react quickly enough.

kanji "white seal" radical at right (radical 26).

Oshima's self-destructed.

In order to shake off Natsume's brainwashing, he unexpectedly blew himself

up!

But this is a fatal wound, no matter how you look at it: ……...

Yabaaa … Yachimatsutaa…...

No matter how much I can't undo the brainwashing on my own, I never

thought I'd blow myself up. ……….... "Katia."

Yamada ran over to Oshima-kun, who was about to fall, and held him before
he hit the ground.

However, Oshima-kun's body, which was defenselessly hit by the full force
of the blow, was damaged beyond anyone's ability to save him.

Shimatsu Tana .... I don't think this will happen ... Did you underestimate
Oshima-kun's mental strength?

How could I resist the brainwashing of the Seven Deadly Sins skill, even if
only for a moment?

And then, in a moment of sanity, he gave up his own life.

The unexpected is also unexpected.

I'm sorry, doctor.

As I apologized to the teacher in my mind, a soft light enveloped Yamada-kun

and Oshima-kun.

I don't know. It's not too late to do something like that.

No! No! This is not curative magic!

Yamada-kun's activation is definitely not a cure magic.

As proof of this, Oshima-kun's wound, which by all accounts was fatal, has
healed.

"Oh, Shun?"

"Qatia, have you come to your senses?"

"Oh, my God. What?"

"I'm healed."

"Love, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate."

"Don't talk now. We're getting you out of here."

Oshima-kun and Yamada-kun were starting to grumble, but I was having none
of it. I was so shocked by what had just happened that I kicked my chair over
and stood up.

Oshima-kun's wound was not something that could be saved in any way.

In fact, Oshima was probably dead by the time Yamada held him.

Ordinary healing magic can't heal fatal wounds instantly, and even miracle
magic, which is a higher level skill of healing magic, can't bring back a dead
person.

There's only one thing that could do that.

Seven Virtue Skills, "Compassion".

The only skill in this world that can revive the dead.

I had no idea that the user was Yamada-kun. …

I was half expecting it, but I didn't see it coming.

I actually knew that some people had mercy skills.

I didn't know who that was.

However, the skills of the Seven Virtues series are difficult to acquire, just
like the Seven Deadly Sins series.

As a human being in this world, even if I wanted to aim for it, it would be out
of my reach.

That's what I'm aiming for, so it's almost impossible to get it by accident.

If that was the case, it was highly likely that the acquirer of mercy was an
alien to this world, a reincarnated person.

I had a pretty good idea that the one who could be merciful would be
Yamada-kun. In addition, the reason I had Natsume brainwash the
reincarnated Oshima and Hasebe was to see if they had the Seven Virtues
skill.

As a result, both Oshima-kun and Hasebe-san were out of the running, and by
process of elimination, one of Yamada-kun, Sensei, Tagawa-kun, or
Kushitani-san had the mercy.

Of these, the teacher could have had mercy in his character, but he was
excluded because he never revived a slain elf.

Tagawa-kun and Kushiya-san still have lines, but Yamada-kun is richer in

character. It's just.
I thought it was probably Yamada-kun, but I hadn't identified him, so I hadn't
included him in my schedule, but this might be a good chance.

The cost of the mercy skill is a higher level of abstinence.

A mercy that makes it possible to raise the dead, which is systemically

unacceptable in this world.

However, there is a contraindication that awaits us when we bring the dead

back to life, which is to make the truth about the system known. When you
realize this, it is impossible not to realize what the meaning of raising the
dead is.

As usual, what 〇 does is awesome ^ —.

He's coming to fold the Seven.

But let's take advantage of it.

Lure Yamada-kun and make the dead in front of him.

Kitto and Yamada-kun are supposed to perform resuscitation on the dead.

Then, the level of abstinence is raised.

When he cancels the ban, he will know the other side of this world. When
that happens, Yamada-kun will be forced to make a choice.

Do you want to antagonize us?

Or you can take our hand.

Turning a blind eye is also an option.

The fate of the world is too heavy for a normal person to carry.

If they turn against us, then we'll do our best to crush them.

But I don't think Yamada-kun can do that.

He's a petty bourgeoisie.

He's become a hero, but he's just an ordinary boy.

So I can't carry the fate of the world on my shoulders.

Let's let them know the truth while we're at it, and encourage them to back
off.

I'm sorry. I was going to ask her to take refuge in a suitable place and stay
indoors, but I changed my plan.

I'm still going to ask you to leave the capital at once, but I'm going to ask you
to do a few more things, Yamada-kun.

and make plans for the future in my head.

Now that Oshima-kun, the biggest obstacle for Yamada-kun and the others,
has fallen, escape will be easy.

"I haven't seen you since..."

But then I thought, "Hey!"

Bloodsuckers? 11^111, sir?

What the hell are you doing standing there like a boss?

"Oh, here. It's for the teacher."

"Potty mouth."

"No, that's not right."

^The power also comes with the direction of the power when you throw the
head of the hoteimasu and give it to me ^~loaf.

If you do that to me, I'm going to be very upset!

You're a vampire! Seriously, what were you thinking?

"It's not good. I wonder if blood tastes bad when it's rotten?"

A blood-sucking vampire who licks up Poteimus' blood.

Stop that blood. You're disgusting. Pepper it. Pepper it!

"Potemus, is that you?"

"What else could it be?"

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Don't tell me you can't kill people. You've done it all yourself. This isn't
Japan, so don't think it's the same as before."
You're arguing with the teacher. What are you going to do after this?

What? Didn't I explain to you that Yamada and the others would have to flee
the capital?

You didn't forget, did you?

What's with all the teachers posturing like they're fighting vampires?

"Sir, are you trying to fight me? Please don't do that. Master told me not to
mess with you."

That's right... I told you so...

So why are you standing there with your mouth full?

If they do that, the teachers are bound to want to fight!

"Well, but it's force majeure. This is self-defense. So it's not my fault."

Subshin, you idiot!

I'm fine.

I'm sure you know that even a bloodsucker will let you go in the end.

Besides, I'm sure Fermina will be able to keep her in check when the time
comes!

Just as I was thinking that, a tyaculum flew toward Yamada-kun.

……that? That's Fermina Chiyan, isn't it?

The bloodsuckers alone are overpowered, but if you add Fermina to the mix,
there's no way you can beat Yamada-kun and the others.

Fermina-chan, dressed in black, is checking out Yamada-kun, who is trying to

join the teacher.
Wald, also dressed in black, is attacking Hyrins holding Anna.

The reason why he wasn't dressed in his usual white was because he was too
conspicuous in white to be a dark figure in the kingdom.

It's about time that a picture of the tenth army of the demon tribe, dressed in
white, is formed.

I don't know if anyone in the kingdom knows about this, but I've dressed in
black so that I can blend in with the first prince, Sairis's men, to avoid being
identified.

It doesn't matter what it is.

The blood-sucking vixen nullified all of the teacher's magic and gradually
closed the distance between them.

The vampire tsuko has the Tenrin skill, which you get with the accompanying
title when you get the Jealousy skill.

The Tenrin skill is upwardly compatible with the Dragon Seed's Dragon
Scale skill.

Its effect is to grow scales on your body to increase your defenses and to
break down the construction of magic0.

While the scales provide a physical defense, they also deal with magical
attacks by breaking down the magical constructs.

It is a powerful and seamless defensive skill.

When it comes to magic attacks, it is so strong that you can almost nullify it
by combining it with the Dragon Warding skill, which has a similar effect.

The teacher seems to be a magic-based build, and if he's up against a blood-

sucking vampire, he's doomed.

Before that, I can say that there is no chance of winning because I am far
away from the pure status. Perhaps because he knows that, the blood-sucking
child approaches the teacher with a leisurely gait. The teacher tries to do
something with the magic of the wind, but the magic does not work for the
blood-sucking child, and the wind condition literally blows somewhere.

"Aah!"

Finally, the blood-sucking boy puts his hand on the doctor's thin neck.

So what the hell are you doing? !

What are you doing?

If this keeps up, Yamada's adventure will end right here!

Yes! Then I'll have to rush in as a mysterious helper and rescue the teachers.

Just when I was half seriously thinking about it, a white dragon flew into the
air.

That one is ….

"Huey?"

As if anticipating my mind, Yamada-kun speaks to the white dragon.

Faye, Urushihara-san or ….

It seems that Urushibara-san, who used to be an earth dragon, but because of

his summoning contract with the brave Yamada-kun, has entered the special
evolutionary light dragon Ru^.

Because of the special evolution, it seems to take a long time for the cocoon-
like state to complete the evolution, but I wonder if the evolution was
completed at this time.

Na^-Styminc^l I.

... It's really a good time, isn't it?

Could this be due to Yamada's Heavenly Blessing skill?

"Oh, thank God."

As I was thinking about it, it seemed that Yamada-kun was having a

conversation with Urushibara-san via telekinesis.

"Xiyun! Get on that dragon and run!"

Reston, the third prince, shouted, and each of them began to move.

"Don't worry about us! Xiyun, and Mr. Heilings! Take Mr. Saiki and run
away!"

"Xiyun, we're getting away."

Heilins carries the unconscious teacher and Anna and rushes to Yamada-kun.

"You think I'm gonna let you go?"

The bloodsucking child waits for it.

I don't want you to get away from me.

What are you really doing here?

Fortunately, while Mr. Urushibara was controlling them with his breath, they
grabbed Yamada and the others and flew away. They were able to escape
safely.

Oh, Mr. Urushibara's breath at the end is burning Mr. Wardo. …

Well, you're not going to die.

Blood-sucking Tsuko and Fermina quickly stun the third prince Reston who
remained on the spot.

Fermina-chan complains about the bloodsuckers, and the bloodsuckers listen

to her, saying yes and no.
Well, tell him, Fermina.

But you'll have to punish the bloodsuckers from me too. …

 Work to negotiate with big people.
I punished him.

"Wait a minute! We let him go in the end, that's all. If we just let them go, who
knows what they'll do later? Mouth: That's why I put the doctor in a coma!
Now they won't be able to move for 15 days! See? I'm competent! So you
should be forgiven."

He stated, "I'm sorry."

But you will be punished!

"Pigyaa: ----"

The bloodsucker screams like a chicken being strangled, and Fuermina looks
at him with a smile on her face.

You're acting like you're someone else, but you were in on it with the
vampires, weren't you?

"Hee-haw!"

I punished them together.

In the end, Yamada and his friends escaped in good shape, and the
bloodsucker's decision to put the teacher in a coma was a good one, so I gave
him a light punishment.

I'll keep quiet about what I did for the honor of the bloodsuckers and
Fermina-chan.

The coma that the bloodsucker put the teacher in is a higher level abnormality
than sleep. It is difficult to remove, and it is said that the patient is literally in
a coma and will not wake up while in the coma. I don't know when I
acquired the skill to cause such a condition ….
I mean, coma is a condition I don't know anything about. …

Hmmm. I thought I knew most of the skills, but I realized once again that there
were many more that I didn't know about.

The bloodsucker told me that the coma I put the doctor in would
automatically lift in fifteen days.

The reason why it is 15 days is because if it is longer than 15 days, the

patient will rapidly become weak and die without waking up.

Scary!

Well, you can't eat while you're in a coma, and that's what happens when
you're in a coma for a long time. While the doctor is in a coma, Yamada-kun
and the others are restricted from moving around, and the doctor can't tell
them anything they don't want to know.

The teacher's source of information is Potimus.

I'm pretty sure he's the one who's been telling the teacher all these strange
things.

There's no guarantee that Yamada and his friends won't act out of character
because of it.

In that sense, putting the teacher into a coma was certainly a good job.

During the fifteen days that the doctor is in a coma, Yamada-kun and the
others will be restricted in their activities, and we can proceed with other
things during that time.

I've got a lot of things I need to do.

First, the internal affairs of the demon territory.

I'm going to throw this one to Balto.

From the end of the Great War until now, all the corps commanders,
including Oni-kun, have been scrambling to deal with the post-war situation,
but that has just come to an end.

Now that the boobs are back, we should be able to return to normal
operations.

So, I'm getting ready for the next phase of my expedition to the elf village!

Yes! To the home of the elves! Expedition!

Now that the great war is over, we are on an expedition to destroy the elven
villages in order to get rid of the annoying Poteimus.

It's not a disposable poteimus that can be destroyed and replaced.

Hit the main body of Poteimus.

In order to do so, the elf village must be completely destroyed.

Well, that's why we need to stall the teachers, I guess.

The doctor is an elf, and I can't involve him in this.

I don't even know if I can afford to pay attention to the teachers when I'm
dealing with Potaymas.

The battle against Poteimus can be predicted to be fierce.

I'm planning to rescue the reincarnated people who are locked up in the elf
village, but if I'm honest, the worst case scenario is that I might have to
abandon them.

That's how bad the fight with Poteimus will be.

You want to minimize distractions as much as possible.

When I fight Poteimus, I want to be in perfect condition.

And. There's one man who can't be avoided for that... There's one man who
can't be avoided...

Theosophical Pope Dastane.

Without this man's help, we can't start an all-out war with Poteimus.

"… makes another outrageous request."

That's why I came here!

St. Arayus, the head temple of the Shinto religion!

Sitting diagonally in front of me, rather than in front of me, was Pope Dastane
himself.

Why not face-to-face?

"You can do it, can't you? I mean, do it."

There is a smiling Demon King sitting in front of you, so yes.

The Pope, the don of the human race.

The demon king is the don of the demon race.

Normally, the two would never even encounter each other.

It's a miracle that they are facing each other and meeting like this.

It was an outrageous scene that would normally go down in history.

In such an amazing place, the Demon Lord is not afraid to give his opinion,
or rather, threats, to the Pope.

I. I, as expected.

In response, the Pope let out a grand sigh.

"What does it mean for the demon army to be allowed to pass through human
territory? Do you even know what that means?"

Yes. This is the agenda.

I'll destroy the elven villages and let the demon army pass through the human
territory.

The short answer is enemy forces, but through there?

It is understandable that the Pope would make such an absurd request.

Where in the world is there a country that gives permission for enemy troops
to pass through?

And the relationship between the Demon King and the Pope is that of
enemies.

They are the representatives of the demon race and the human race, you
know.

Now that we have a common enemy, the elves, we are only temporarily
cooperating.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

In fact, it is correct to say that they are enemies who do not cower from each
other.

We are able to cooperate partially because Potimus has a higher priority to

take care of, but we are still enemies.

In addition, the demon race and the human race have just recently had a huge
war.

In this situation, it is impossible and reckless to ask the demon army to pass
through. The only people who are partially cooperating are the Demon King
and the Pope.
Not just demons and humans, but demon kings and popes.

This is important.

Both the Demon King and the Pope are effectively the leaders of the demon
and human races, but they do not have complete control over both races.

The demon king is in control through his politics of fear, but that doesn't mean
there isn't a lot of friction.

However, since the Pope has a much looser form of rule, it would be difficult
for him to exercise his power.

I think religion is a very convenient form of control to incite people, but

because it appeals to people's thoughts, it is difficult to force people to do
things that do not fit their thoughts.

I think the best way to do that is to make peace with the demon tribe.

I mean, Shingon religion has used the demons as enemies to incite humans.

If it were to suddenly express a contrary opinion, its centripetal force would

surely plummet.

For theism, which is based on centripetal force, it is no different from

collapse.

Well, there are people among the royalty and aristocracy who believe in "If
the Word of God says so! I don't think that such a collapse will happen,
though."

The Pope's ability to manipulate people's minds to such an extent through

thought alone, even though he has no effective control over them, is simply
amazing.

That's why the Demon Lord treats him like a monster.

Even the Pope has his head in the sand, thinking that this request is quite
absurd.
Well, the Demon King is threatening to do it, but honestly, it's irritating.

I know it's an absurd request, and there's nothing I can do about it, so I'm
going to have to transfer my entire army to the new location and skip the
human territory. …

"It was a lot of groundwork."

Can you do that?

... What? For good?

"I had faith you could do it."

The Demon Lord praised the Pope with a nice smile.

But that's it.

"I'm thinking inwardly, "Seriously, this guy is -------.

Because in our preliminary meeting, he said that even the Pope couldn't
complete this difficult task! The meeting with the demon king went like this.

The plan was to start out with an unreasonable request and then threaten -----
-------------------- to help out as much as possible if that was not possible.
The plan was to negotiate.

You see, it's a basic principle of negotiation to first pose an unreasonable

challenge and then hit them with an achievable goal, isn't it?

I couldn't let the demon army pass through the human territory anyway, so I
talked with the demon king with a bad face, saying that it would be rather
ridiculous to just pluck it.

What did this old man say to you?

Was it hard to lay the groundwork?

That means we're all set and ready to go, right, Corsair?
… What's with the old cheeto?

Reincarnated people. Domestic affairs Chi 丨-^ It's the correct answer
without trying to do it.

I don't know what to say to him.

"Is that okay? Even though you're a Shintoist, you must have gone through a
lot of trouble."

Oh, Demon King, that's not the way to ask.""

The Pope's smile deepened, as if he had taken in my panic.

"Yeah, that's it. I was forced to spend a very painful amount of money without
thinking about the consequences. Hence …."

The Pope breaks off at some point and narrows his eyes.

"We can't afford to fail, can we?"

Great V:.

Scary: This old man has no fighting skills, but he scares the crap out of me.

I'm trying to scare you. You're scaring me.

"… will never fail. Never."

In contrast to me being pressured by the old man, the demon king replied
calmly.

"I've been waiting for this moment. One by one, one by one, …"

The Demon King speaks quietly.

But what I saw in his eyes could not be described as quiet.

The exact opposite of quiet, raging passions are swirling in the air.
"Yes, I have. I have been waiting for this moment for a long, long time
indeed."

And a Pope with similar eyes.

The two of them had been enemies with Poteimus for an uncanny amount of
time.

There is a word called "accumulated resentment", and I'm sure the resentment
against Poteimus that has accumulated is considerable.

I hate Poteimus too, but I think it's cute compared to what these two are
doing.

After all, the length of time I have held a grudge is too different.

I think it's at the level of hating the monk or hating even Kesa.

In fact, both the Demon King and the Pope have a history of hating Poteimus
so much that they've been genociding elves without regard to who they are.

Well, elves are the family of Poteimus, so there's nothing to be done about it.

And it is mainly the Tenth Army, under my direction, that has been genociding
elves lately. … I couldn't speak for the others.

I tried to escape from reality, but when I saw the Demon King and the Pope,
who were silent with nostalgic faraway eyes, I felt sweat dripping down my
back.

Oh, man. This is the kind of thing that can't fail.

I don't mean to fail, though?

We're dealing with Poteimus, right?

There's no way that evil bastard didn't have a hidden gem or two ready.
Depending on the performance of the hidden gem, they may be considering a
temporary withdrawal.

But looking at the demon king and the pope, I can't say that ……….... I've
already said, "This is the hundredth year of Atsuta! Let's settle this! I can feel
the atmosphere of "Let's settle this!

… I'm sure it's not actually a hundred years, one.

Well, that would be very emotional.

The success or failure of the elimination of Poteimus is in my hands.

Oh, now your stomach is complaining of pain, okay?

I'm under a lot of pressure.

It's …. It's okay! No problem!

And I've spent so much time preparing for this moment!

I can do it, I can do it.

Believe in yourself!

And I'll inspire the white minutes.

Well, I have a feeling that I want to succeed in one shot as much as possible.

When I think of the boiling water that the Demon King and the Pope have
been subjected to by Poteimus, you know.

I've been inconvenienced by Sanzan Potimas, so I want the Demon King and
the Pope to feel at home here.

Thanks to the Pope's laying the groundwork, we have a lot of time to spare.

In the original plan, I thought that even the Pope would not allow the demon
army to march into the human territory.
That's why, although it would be quite a forceful move, I was going to have
the entire army transfer directly to the front of the elf village.

It consumes a lot of energy, though.

I thought of it as a necessary expense.

But if we can pass through the tribe's territory, we don't have to cut that huge
expense!

I can use that energy for other things.

This will greatly increase the success rate of Potimus' elimination.

However, there will be problems.

It only takes a moment to transport them by transfer, so the demon army has
not yet made any serious preparations for the march. But if we have to march
through the human territory, we have to make proper preparations and
schedule for the march.

The Demon King and the Pope worked out the details of their plans.

This is going to be hard to do once we get back to the demon territory. …

I have to get ready in a hurry.

In order to ensure that the long-cherished wish of the Demon Lord and the
Pope is accomplished without a hitch.

nickname.

"Redeem."

When I close my eyes, the words come to me as if they were speaking

directly to my mind.

Even if I opened my eyes, the words would not disappear.

It sticks with me day by day, whether I sleep or wake up, and won't leave.

"Redeem."

Contraindicated >10 effects.

The knowledge and the price of knowledge are given to those who violate
the taboo and raise their skill level to the fullest.

Those whose abstinence is cankered will have to live with these words for
the rest of their lives.

"Redeem."

It is a word for all the people living in this world.

The forbidden self is to make humans realize their sins that brought this
world to the brink of destruction.

But then, what do we, the reincarnated, who lived in a world that had nothing
to do with it, have to pay for?

The answer is …

I didn't realize how difficult it would be to deal with the aftermath of the war.
I finished the whole process and went to sleep.

Thanks to my status and skills, the physical fatigue is not as bad as it could
be.

But the mental exhaustion was tremendous.

This was because my job was to check the list of the dead and to prepare the
money for the families of the dead.

The Eighth Army, which I led, had quite a few casualties.

More than half of them died as I forced them into the enemy army and half of
them died in a suicide mission.

Every time I looked at the list of names, I could almost hear their vindictive
voices directed at me.

And the bereaved families hammering away at the recovered bodies.

To them, I have to express my heartless condolences.

Don't put your heart into it.

I'm not qualified to do that.

I must be a horrible boss, forcing them to go to their deaths.

Normally, I would not even allow myself to get sentimental like this.

I tried not to think about anything else and just went on with my postwar
work.

The fortifications where I fought have collapsed at my hands and are no

longer of strategic value to occupy.

I airplane.

It's no good just occupying a pile of rubble.

However, we had to recover the bodies of the dead of both armies that had
been left behind on the battlefield, as well as the supplies that had been
inside the fort.

If left unchecked, the battlefield thieves would take it by the roots.

Most of the supplies in the fort had been rendered useless when I destroyed
it, but luckily I was able to recover the ones that had remained intact and
were not involved in the collapse.

What was even more difficult was the recovery of the bodies.

The people in charge of the recovery were, of course, the survivors of the
Eighth Army and newly hired personnel.

Most of them were people who were acquainted with the dead.

There were many times when I found the dead body of someone I knew and
stopped working because I was crying.

This is the scene I've created.

I'm almost speechless.

Still, I couldn't keep quiet.

He tersely told the crying workers, "Stop crying and move."

I glare back at anyone who gives me a resentful look with more than just a
glare.

The intimidating stare left them with no choice but to fall flat on their faces
and give in.

The members of the Eighth Army were originally a hodgepodge of people

who had nothing to do with me.

There was no loyalty to me from the beginning.

This has turned into hostility and awe as they are forced to go to their deaths
and lose many of their comrades in arms.

Hatred of unreasonable death.

But I can't resist.

I could feel the depression in my heart.

He's exactly like an evil general who binds his men with fear.

There is no justice anywhere.

But this is the path I've chosen.

There's no turning back now.

I let out a big sigh and stood up from my chair in my office.

A meeting with the corps commanders will be held later today.

I left my private office and headed for the conference room.

On my way there, I bumped into Mr. Merazophis.

"Thanks."

"Thanks."

We greeted each other with few words.

Melazophis is Sophia's squire.

Because of this, ever since I became a corps commander, he has taken care of
me in many ways as a senior corps commander.

He's a quiet person, not one to talk too much, but today the mood was heavier
than ever.
I'm sure he's feeling down for the same reason I am.

Her normally pale complexion looked even paler today.

We continued on our way to the conference room in silence.

When I opened the door and entered the conference room, I found
Commander Darad, who was also in a heavy mood, already in his seat.

However, Commander Darad's physical fatigue seemed to be more intense

than his mental one.

Unlike me and Mr. Merazophis, Commander Darad is an ordinary demon

tribe.

The status is also very important.

I guess he was tired from the war and even more tired from the postwar
process.

"No. Lord Merazophis and Lord Lars?"

His voice lacked its usual energy.

He was tired.

"Good work."

I couldn't help but say something like that.

"Nuh-uh. Do I still look tired to you?"

"Yeah, a lot."

There's no point in fooling around, so I'll tell you what I think honestly.

"It's a shame. We were defeated on the biggest stage of our lives, and the
aftermath was so disgraceful. All I can think of is how much confidence I've
lost."
The commander of Darad's army laughed helplessly.

Then, the Commander of the Kogoo Army entered the room, timing well.

Sensing the atmosphere in the room, the big-bellied corps leader took his
seat, acting suspiciously.

The Commander of Kogou's army also looked pale.

So, the corps commander is more or less overwhelmed with hard work.

I took my seat and waited for the meeting to start.

After a short wait, Mr. White entered the room.

Maybe it was just my imagination, but I thought I saw the Commander of the
Kogoo Army looking at me when I came into the room. Mr. White had his
eyes closed, so I couldn't tell where he was looking.

"Hey. We're all here."

Before I knew it, Aryel had entered the room while I was staring at Mr.
White.

Not all the corps commanders were present, but I guess that means the rest
were absent.

In addition to that, the color of Balto's face standing next to Aryel's is not
good.

He's got an earthy color that looks like he's about to die. Is he going to be
okay?

"The second corps commander hasn't arrived yet, so he won't be attending."

Aryel tells us the reason for the absence of the Second Legionnaire,
Saanatoria.
Sernatoria had come back alone once to report the current situation to this
council of legion leaders, but soon after that she returned to guard the fort that
had been taken over by the monkey demons. Now, I am in the process of
leading the first army back from that fort.

At the last meeting, Aryel-san told us that the next expedition would be to the
village of Elves. As you can see from the fact that former Seventh Legion
Commander Warkis was in collusion with the elves, some of the legion
leaders have connections with the elves.

I haven't heard from Aryel or Mr. White who it is, but from the way he acts,
I'm guessing it's Sernatoria.

It's just a prediction, but it's not wrong by a long shot.

I know this, so there's no way that Aryel-san and Mr. White haven't noticed
it. In other words, Ms. Saanatriya is now being forced to swim.

I don't know why they are still letting Saanatoria-san swim when they are
about to march into the elven village and exterminate the elven species.

But since it's Aryel and Mr. White, they probably have a deeper reason.

"Well, the reason why I asked you to gather here on such short notice is none
other than this. It's about the plan to march on the elven village."

fortuneteller.

Hmm? I inwardly tilted my head.

In the usual meeting of legion leaders, Aryel-san leaves the facilitating to

Balto-san.

Today, however, Aryel-san was taking on the role of facilitator himself.

It's different from usual.

That gives me a bad feeling somehow.

"Actually, there's been a slight change of plans. I've had to move up my
schedule."

The corps commanders in attendance were silent, as if they forgot to breathe.

No wonder they reacted the way they did, since they had to march right after
the postwar process was finally settled.

Even with the original march plan, we were very busy with little time to
spare, and now that it's going to be moved up even more, I want to start
thinking about the expected death march.

"I'm sorry."

Mr. Aryel scratches his head and apologizes in a light tone.

It's no consolation, but I'm sure that deep down he's really sorry.

What's more, Aryel is a good person.

However, the amount of work that awaits us is not lessened by Aryel's

apology.

The word "black company" flickered in my mind.

Human beings can do it if they try, and we managed to finish reorganizing the
army on schedule and get it ready to march.

This was probably the result of a concerted effort by the corps leaders to
prepare for the event.

In particular, Mr. Balto and Commander Darad were very supportive, and I
feel that I was able to get to know them very well during this preparation
period.

Surprisingly, Sernatoria, who seemed to be in league with the elves, was

cooperative to a certain extent.
After returning to the Demon Lord's Castle, Ms. Sernatoria was actively
participating in maintaining public order and reviewing the defense system
during the march to the Elven Village, in cooperation with Ms. Balto and
Commander Darad, the remaining members of the Demon Territory.

There was no such thing as Balto-san or Commander Darad, though, who

were willing to flex their forces to the expeditionary group.

Still, it was a great help to us, too.

It seems that Sa-Natoria has decided to cut off the elves and give them to
Aryel, and while I don't like the idea of him being a bat, it's not something I'm
going to mess with.

On the other hand, the one who was not so proactive was the Third Corps
Commander, Corps Commander Kogoo.

The commander of Kogou's army has always been anti-war, and it seems that
he is against this expedition.

However, it does not mean that they will not actively cooperate, or that they
will interfere.

Although they are reluctant to do so, if Mr. Balto gives them instructions, they
will do as he says.

Weak will. Constant tenderness.

That's my impression of the Commander of the Kogoo Army.

I can't help but have a slightly thorny impression.

He was the only one of the corps commanders who did not actively
cooperate with us, even though we were moving around sparing no time to
sleep.

When it comes to the lack of cooperation, the same can be said for Black, the
commander of the Ninth Army Corps, but he can't help it because he is in a
special position among the corps commanders.
The other corps commander with a special position, Mr. White, was also
very busy and busy.

But that doesn't mean that I actually saw Mr. White looking busy.

The Tenth Army, led by Mr. White, is ostensibly an army whose activities are
a mystery to me, but I know that Mr. White makes full use of his transference
to take them from place to place and perform various chores.

The fact that I hadn't seen the Tenth Army during the entire preparation period
was proof that they were busy.

The Tenth Army, as expected, also rushed to the scene on the day of the
battle.

… Although there are some people who are not visible, including Sophia.

Those who are not in sight are probably on the same road as the Imperial
Guard.

In front of us, the imperial army led by Natsume, or is it Hugo now, is

already marching towards the elf village.

We, the demon army, would march as the second group a little later.

He took a quick look at the demon army that was going into battle.

The Imperial flag jumps into view.

There were so many Imperial flags fluttering in the air that even a quick
glance at them was enough to catch your eye.

It was probably Mr. White who prepared this.

We will now pretend to be the Imperial Army and begin our march.

There is no difference in appearance between the demon race and the human
race.
So, if we show them something that clearly shows their affiliation, and tell
them beforehand that they are in the Imperial Army, there is no need to worry
about them finding out.

The exceptions are people like me who look different, but that's not a
problem as long as we use full body armor to hide our appearance.

In the human territory, the imperial troops would have been ready to march
by now.

I didn't even know that the imperial army was an army of demons.

I'm sure that Pope would have done that much laying the groundwork.

My first impression of the Pope was that of an ordinary old man.

I don't feel any sign of a strong man, and I can easily strangle him with my
hand around his neck and a little force.

I could be sure of that.

There is no mistaking that.

The Pope is definitely not a fighter, and is so weak that he can be easily
slaughtered with a single blow from me.

But that's just the fighting ability.

The Pope calls Mr. Aryel a monster.

I was able to see a part of it in action.

"That's why I'm making sure my pile of bodies doesn't go to waste."

I'm sure the Pope has no idea how much those words devastated me.

The first time I met the Pope was when Mr. White and his friends took me to
St. Alleluia.
Before the great war broke out, the head of the demon tribe, who was
originally an enemy, and the Pope of the Divine Word Church, who was
practically the head of the human tribe.

I was allowed to be present at the table set up for the two of them to
negotiate.

It seems that Mr. Aryel and the Pope had agreed and made a secret pact to
form a joint front to overthrow the elves after the Great War.

The purpose of the meeting was to have a heart-to-heart discussion about

how to reconcile the two sides, and how to proceed after the war and the
overthrow of the elves.

Mr. Aryel has been alive since before the system was built, so to speak, he is
a living witness to history.

In contrast, the Pope also has a special skill that allows him to inherit
memories and reincarnate them, according to Aryel.

Whether we continue to live or reincarnate, we can say that we are living

witnesses to history just like Mr. Aryel.

And if you are right about history, you also know about the system of this
world.

The truth about the system as taught by abstinence.

The story goes that humans once brought this planet to the brink of collapse
with their foolishness, but were stopped by the sacrifice of a goddess.

However, it has only temporarily stopped the collapse, and the world is still
on the verge of collapse.

The System is a magnificent art that recovers the power reflected in the
experience, status, and skills that a creature accumulates during its lifetime
after its death and turns it into the rebirth of a collapsed world. Mr. Aryel
and the Pope know the truth about this system.
That's why Aryel, as the Demon Lord, has the demon and human races
fighting each other, and by increasing the number of deaths, he has the system
recover the energy key.

And the doctrine of Shintoism, "Grow your skills and hear more of God's
Word", is a way of saying that you should use the energies that are alive and
can be found on ^^^^.

The inhabitants of this world grow up listening to the system's announcements

when they gain a skill or level up.

Few feel comfortable worshipping it as the voice of God.

That's what I was raised to believe.

However, if other reincarnated people hear the doctrine of the Divine Word,
they might think that there are religions with strange doctrines in other
worlds.

If I had known about the doctrine without knowing anything about it, I would
have felt the same way.

Or, if they were both reincarnated, it would have been a funny story.

I used to think that the doctrine of Shintoism was strange.

It's not funny when you know the truth.

Shintoism uses the framework of religion to coerce the human race at large.

Be a cornerstone of the world, he said.

From an early age, the doctrine is indoctrinated and imprinted upon them,
making them believe that they are following the tenets of theism at their own
will.

It's very efficient.

I felt somewhat horrified.

This is probably because we treat life as if it were a consumable item.

It felt like a ranch.

We raise and ship the meat, the human race.

The human race is also ……… unaware that they are being kept in such a
ranch. The person who created such a ranch is the Pope of the Divine Word
Church.

The more I learn about theism, the more I understand the horror of the Pope.

The scary thing about Shintoism is its organizational power.

The Word of God has influence over almost all of the human territory.

The only exception to this is the country of Sariela, which adheres to the
Goddess religion, and all other countries have churches built without fail.

Even in small villages, there are chapels, spreading the roots of Shintoism.

Young children are blessed by the Divine Word religion and grow up
listening to its teachings.

By the time you grow up, you'll be a great theist.

This is how they win people's hearts and loosely control the entire human
race.

The Church of the Divine Word, which is scattered throughout the country, is
used as a collection point for information or as a relay point.

It seems that most of the people involved in the Shinto religion have mastered
Distant Talk, a higher level skill of telekinesis.

Telepathy is a skill that allows you to have telepathic conversations with

people who have the same telepathy far away. By making full use of it, he
verbally conveys information on remote areas and conveys it to the religion
of St. Aleus, the head temple of the divine religion, in the manner of a
message game.

It may not be real time, but it's still a quick way to get information about
faraway places.

The Pope is well aware of the great value of fresh information.

In this world without cars or airplanes, travel takes time.

With the exception of the shifting camp and distant talk, the fastest way to
transmit information is to use a fast horse, but that is often too slow.

The Pope minimizes the delay in the transmission of this information by

placing distant speakers in various locations.

Then, based on the information obtained, they read the situation and move it
as they wish.

In addition to that, he has created various other mechanisms to solidify the

organization called Shintoism.

It is noteworthy that although these systems require a lot of manpower, they

do not require outstanding talent.

Distant speech is a higher level skill than telekinesis, but once you learn
telekinesis, it is not so difficult to learn.

In the same way, the skills required to run an organization like Shintoism are
all very common.

Anyone can learn it if they want to.

That, in turn, means that anyone can do it.

The fact that anyone can do this is a big deal.

In other words, you can raise as many replacements as you want.

The organization is not run by just one outstanding person, but is supported
by many ordinary people.

Because anyone can do it, it is easy to fill in when a vacancy occurs, and
there are no holes.

If someone is missing, someone else can take their place.

The Pope is no exception to this rule, and in the absence of the Pope who
inherited the name of Dustin, other popes have taken his place.

And even in Dustin's absence, theism never wavered.

This is because the foundation of the Shinto religion is so strong.

There is a saying, "A nation's plan for a hundred years", but the Shinto
religion has built its organization into an absolute one, anticipating a longer
time than that.

The Pope is undoubtedly a prominent and outstanding figure.

However, he is not flattered by his own power and uses people to control the
human race.

The very king of men.

He's different from all the other greats I've seen.

Aryel, White, Sophia, Merazophis, and other strong people I've seen are so
strong themselves that they don't rely on their underlings.

Because he was a complete individual, he was not able to be a king who was
absolutely strong and could lead his people.

The strongest person I've ever seen who was worthy of being king was the
late First Legion Commander, Aragner.

Mr. Argnar was leading not only the first army, but the entire demon tribe
well.
However, I have to say that even Mr. Argnar is a one-man operation that
relies on his power to run the organization.

It was something that would not have been possible without Mr. Argnar.

The Pope's rule is not a fragile thing that cannot be established if one such
person is missing.

The Pope must have seen his own power and its limitations, and focused on
building the organization from an early stage.

It's a tremendous eye for the future.

And since he had actually made the Shinto religion into such a large
organization, he was certainly a shrewd man. I had learned something like
this from Ariel.

I thought I understood the greatness of the Pope when Mr. Aryel taught me
about this and that of the Shinto religion.

… You will find that you only thought you knew when you saw the real thing.

"I will kill the brave. This is a decision."

handwriting.

multi-.

"But then the human race will not be able to control you, the Demon Lord.
Isn't that a bit one-sided? -It is."

"How much energy do you think the heroes will waste to fight me? Wouldn't
it be better for all of us if there were no such thing?"

"I see. I see. So you don't just kill the brave, but you eliminate the framework
of the brave itself?"

"That's what I'm talking about."

"What are its advantages and disadvantages?"

The Pope discusses the treatment of the brave with Mr. Aryel.

According to what I heard, the brave man was my best friend from my
previous life, Shun's older brother.

And this Pope used the brave man to expose the human trafficking
organization that the elves were behind, giving him practical experience and
making him popular with the people at the same time.

As the war with the demons was in the Cold War, the brave had no place to
stand out. As a way to fill the gap, he gained practical experience, made it
easy for people to know about it as a prominent achievement, and crushed
Elf's scheme, achieving three birds with one stone.

Thanks to this, the popularity of the brave Julius is high, and his experience
in the battle against human traffickers has made him as good as any of the
brave men of the past.

The Pope showed the brave man who had been raised by hand salting, just by
being offered a profit, by cutting it off and throwing it away.

"Yugo. Bang. You want me to announce Lengzand as a hero?"

"Yes. The real one is Chylein. Zagan. Analate."

"Why hide the real thing?"

"Hugo is a pawn of my white boy. "Hugo is a pawn for our Shirouchan,

though I don't think he knows that. It's easier to do things when you have
someone who can do whatever you want in your own home as a hero.

"I see. In the Kingdom of Anareyt, Poteimus has been showing some
disturbing movements, does that have something to do with it?"

"It's a big deal. In order to expel Poteimus from the Kingdom of Anarate, we
must cause some trouble in the Kingdom of Anarate. We have to appeal to the
international community to make sure that Hugo gets justice then."
"So the quickest and most reliable way is to announce Prince Hugo as the
hero?"

"Thank you for understanding so quickly."

"However, if the lie is exposed, the loss of credibility of the Shinto religion
will be great. How do you plan to compensate for that?"

"That's the eradication of elves, and it's a good idea to change it. I'm planning
to use Yu-Go to crush elves, and half of that credit should be held by the
cooperating divine religion. If something went wrong, it was brainwashed by
the power of Hugo.

I'm not afraid to pretend to be a real hero if I have to.

To overthrow Potimus, a country can be reduced to a whirlpool of chaos.

I'm looking at the big picture.

At worst, they are extremely mechanical and only look at human lives in
numbers.

If you can save two or more people by cutting down one person, you will not
hesitate to cut down that person, even if that person is a hero.

Of course, if the usefulness of the heroes outweighs the people they are
supposed to save, they will stay away from cutting them down.

But then again, we're not looking at the brave individual, we're only looking
at the abilities of the brave pawn.

A political monster, devoid of personal feelings, devoid of humanity.

He is the king of the human race, the absolute protector of the human race,
and the ally of the human race.

However, the person himself is devoid of humanity in his action guidelines.

What kind of joke is it that the top of the human race has no humanity?
I wonder if that's why.

I couldn't help but ask.

"You claim to protect the human race, yet you so easily give them away."

and 0.

The answer to that is.

"If the only way to keep the big alive is to kill the small, then I will not
hesitate to kill the small."

And Sophia, who turned up her nose at his words, said.

"Slaughtering the people you're supposed to be protecting is a

laughingstock."

He spat.

Sophia's hometown had been destroyed by a theocratic sect, and her parents
had been killed by Potimus in the ensuing chaos.

No wonder the blame for Shintoism is getting harder to bear.

And that answer to Ms. Sophia's abuse is exactly what I'm talking about.

"That's why I'm making sure the pile of bodies doesn't go to waste."

It was.

I was shocked by the way it was.

He was not proud of what he had done, but rather apologized to the pile of
corpses he had accumulated.

Still, I don't stop.

If he stopped, he would let the pile of corpses, and their deaths, go to waste.
Perhaps the Pope is performing atonement.

Atonement, and in so doing, the accumulation of new sins, atonement without

end.

A redemption that continues, knowing that there is no end, no forgiveness.

How harsh could that be?

I was horrified.

Perhaps it was then that I realized for the first time the unfathomable nature of
the Pope.

I couldn't decide what to do with my life.

He was born a goblin, had his goblin village destroyed, and was used by his
avenger, Builimus.

After that, he gained the skill of rage and broke free from the service of the
Builimus, and was able to avenge his village.

However, after that, he lost his reason halfway through due to rage and went
around killing everything in sight.

It was a miracle that I met Mr. White and the others, had my rage sealed, and
regained my reason. If I had wandered around without regaining my reason, I
would have run out of energy and died in the not-too-distant future.

I am fortunate to be alive.

Unlike the ones I killed.

I thought that since I was lucky enough to have found life, it was my duty to
live on.

And I wanted to do something with my life.

However, I had no idea what I should do.

I was just following Aryel, White and the others.

I was just taking advantage of the fact that they were trying to do something
grand to save the world.

Not confronting the sins I have committed.

I just look at the people who are determined to do what they do without
hesitation.

I felt somewhat guilty.

I wondered if I, in such a dazed state, was qualified to join their ranks.

I was struggling with this one by one.

Is it really justice to take a human life for the sake of a greater cause?

I guess Ariel and Mr. White have already made up their minds.

But it was not so easy to separate the two.

From my previous life, I hated being crooked.

He was fastidious and disciplined to be right in his actions.

But it's not right to let rage take over and slaughter innocent people.

From that point on, I had already lost sight of my way of life.

I've already strayed from the right path.

I couldn't find a path to follow, so I just followed Aryel-san and Shiro-san,

whose backs I could somehow see.

The Pope's words were a bright spot.

We know it is not right, we know it is a sin, but we go ahead and do the
cause.

I learned from the Pope that there is such a way of life.

It would be a hard and painful way to live.

But it seemed to me that this was the way I should go about my life.

"Redeem."

Words heard from the abject.

Oh, okay.

Let us redeem it.

Let us continue to sin to redeem and redeem more.

To avenge the deaths of the innocent people I've killed.

To not let that death be in vain.

No, even that is ego.

It's a noble thing to say about atonement.

I kill a lot of people because of my selfishness.

No apologies.

I'm not looking back.

Pile up.

A pile of corpses.

And let's do it.

The cause.

It's the only way I'll be rewarded.

And in the Great War, I led the Eighth Army, which suffered heavy casualties
on both sides.

And this time, they start marching towards the elf village.

The goal is to eradicate the elves.

To eradicate a single species.

Many lives will be lost.

"Let's go!"

I responded to Aryel's voice and moved forward.

I'm sorry, I'm not standing.

There is a ---- ---- and a ------.

Lyrics composed by private composers.

Hey? Where's your day off?

What about Saturday and Sunday?

What about holidays?

Summer vacation, winter vacation, spring vacation, golden week, where are
you?

I've been working a lot the past few days.

Doesn't the Labor Standards Act apply to the Demon Lord's Army?

It's all the fault of the Pope being too good.

It should be a pleasure to have a good business partner, but it's too good to be
bothered by having to do our work for us. ….....

The world is out of control, isn't it?

It's not good to get involved with other people.

In other words, bocce is the perfect way to live!

It's because I'm too involved with other people that I'm forced to work like
this, and it keeps me busy.

If that's the case, why don't you just do it on your own, at your own pace, the
way you want to do it?
If something goes wrong, it's all on me.

You can blame yourself, but no one else can blame you.

Own responsibility.

That's a good one.

What are you trying to say?

I don't want to fail and get angry with the Pope, yes ….

Up until now, I've been the one who's been moving around on my own.

So if I made a mistake, it was my responsibility alone.

But what will the Pope think if we fail this time?

From the Pope's point of view, the Demon Lord is the top of this camp.

In other words, the blame for failure falls on the Demon Lord.

Oh, my stomach hurts.

Well, that's why I'm working so hard.

If you are marching through human territory, as opposed to your planned

transfer, you will need to.

If it's a metastasis, it's instantaneous.

What?

It takes days.

And the fact that it takes a few days means that we have to act fast.

In addition, we need to secure food during the march.

I asked Balto to do his best in this area.

The rest of the time, each corps will be busy preparing for the event.

So, what did I do? Of course, I did a lot of things that only I can do.

First, this and that of the empire.

I hadn't expected to have to go through the Empire, since I had planned to

travel there by transfer.

Therefore, I have not made any arrangements with the Empire.

I have told the Pope that I am pulling Natsume out of our camp, and he seems
to think that the empire is under our jurisdiction.

In other words, I was left to my own devices at the meeting.

I wish you hadn't left it to me. …

There are not many people who can be brainwashed and manipulated with
Natsume's skills and lust.

There is no limit to the number of people who can be brainwashed, but it

takes a lot of time and effort to do so.

Like this, clap your hands and say, "Yes! You are now under hypnosis! It's not
easy to brainwash people like that."

You need to take the time to apply multiple layers.

If it is only applied once, the effect will wear off and you will come to your
senses.

Moreover, even when the brainwashing is stable, if left unattended, it will

lose its effectiveness over time.

Well, if the power of brainwashing is cumulative from multiple layers, it will

take quite a long time before you naturally come to your senses.
The difficulty of forcing someone to come to their senses with healing magic
or whatever depends on how much of this accumulation there is.

In the first place, Natsume's V[? There's a limit to how much you can do.

Yes, in order to activate the color desire skill, ^? is required.

Natsume's ^? The number of people to be brainwashed is limited, so the

people to be brainwashed had to be carefully selected.

In order to solidify Natsume's position, he has brainwashed key figures in the

empire. Natsume's father, the king of the empire, the Sword Emperor, for
example.

And other powerful lords.

Most of them are civil servants, though.

The inside of the empire is quite corrupt, you know.

It was quite a slippery political battle going on.

honey.

The civilian and military officials are at odds with each other, and the
civilian officials are always cheating to get the sweetest honey.

The military officers, on the other hand, are too brainy to be talked into going
to the provinces by the civilian officials, and their power is being
suppressed.

It seems that the sword emperor wanted to somehow organize the military
officials and deter the corrupt civilian officials, but the military officials
were too meritocratic to accept the sword emperor who was a civilian.
As a result, instead of organizing the military officers, the sword emperor
isolated himself.

The military officers are keeping their distance from the sword emperor, so
they can't get involved in the politics of the center.

What happens then is that the corrupt civil servants do whatever they want.

It was quite an interesting situation.

I feel like I could make a courtroom drama or movie about the sword
emperor.

Well, the inside of the empire was like that, so it was like all was well if we
could embrace those corrupt civil servants.

Some of them were just bribes, and some of them wagged their tails even
though they were not brainwashed.

I'm glad it was easy for you, I guess.

Sword Emperor, you can cry.

I've been brainwashed by my own son.

Kansai region (esp. during Edo period).

What? Who the hell made you do that?

That's me.

A woman in the dark inside a corrupt empire.

You can call me a beautiful woman if you want.

So we're in control of the Empire, but it's not perfect.

I've embraced more than half of the civilian officials, but I've left the military
officials out.
Most of the warlords have fiefdoms in areas bordering or close to demon
territory.

If I wanted to pass through the empire, I would inevitably have to pass

through the territory of this military officer.

We have to do something about that.

In addition, going from the empire to the next human territory country uses a
transfer team.

As I expected, I didn't want to walk across the continent from the demon
territory to the elven village. The Empire is a large country, and there are
several transfer stations, but now that the war is over, there is a huge waiting
list for these transfer stations.

The return of troops from various countries who were dispatched to the
Empire as reinforcements in the Great War, or the return of adventurers who
joined as volunteer soldiers.

In addition, the resumption of logistics, which had been halted during the war
due to the priority given to the transportation of goods to and from the war
zone.

Because of the convenience of the transfer team, the utilization rate of it is

very high now that there is an emergency. In addition to that, we have to use it
to move the imperial army led by Natsume to the elf village, so it's in a jam.

We have to use the transition team in that heavy traffic.

The transfer team is booked up, though.

We had to get in line with the transition team that was booked up.

In a military model.

Hahahaha, one. The one that needs to be adjusted--.

So, the Tenth Army was also sent out to take care of this and that problem in
the empire.

I don't know how I got rid of it, but let's just say that there are some things in
this world that are better left unknown.

A family of military officers mysteriously disappeared, for example.

The fate of the world is at stake here, and we have no choice but to use any
means at our disposal.

I didn't have much time. …

I can't just sit around and wait for the empire to take over.

That said, the finishing touches on the Kingdom of Anareyt are not yet
complete.

The original plan was for me to focus on that.

I had to devote my resources to that as well because of the sudden outpouring

of projects that came out of nowhere.

In other words, we were forced into a two-front strategy.

I'm sure you're busy.

So, I've been to the Kingdom of Anareyt.

The Royal Castle, where there was an uprising just the other day.

The time was night.

The time of day when people go to sleep.

I think the castle is too quiet for that, though.

After all, there are only a few people living in this huge royal castle now.
Thanks to this, a painful silence enveloped the area.

A little while later today, Yamada and the others will be raiding this royal
castle.

This was because they announced the execution of the country's third prince,
Reston, and Oshima's parents, the Duke and Duchess, whom they had
captured during the rebellion.

Given the personalities of Yamada and Oshima, it was obvious that they
would come to the rescue.

I mean, I've already confirmed that the division that's monitoring Yamada-kun
and the others has left the hideout.

We have almost emptied this royal castle to welcome Yamada-kun and his
friends.

The reason why I'm doing such a complicated thing is, well, experimentation,
I guess.

To be honest, this experiment is something that I could have done without.

However, it's better to have one as an insurance policy when you fight
Potimus, or rather, when you bump Potimus to death.

If this experiment is successful, there will be more options to take.

Well, that's the kind of choice I don't really want to make even if I succeed.

It's really a last resort, I guess.

Well, the main reason is for the experiment, but there are many other small
reasons, and if I had to choose between doing it and not doing it, doing it
would definitely be better.

For example, the length of time Yamada and his friends are held will be
longer.
But I don't think it was necessary to do it at this very busy time.

… was kind of an obsessive thought, "I have to do all the things I planned to
do! I used to think that I had to do everything I planned to do, but maybe I
should have postponed or cancelled some of the less important things."

... ^^1 I-- so I-.

If it's in the plan, then it's better to take it.

If it's postponed or cancelled, then the schedule will be changed again!

So what I'm trying to say is that it's better to go for it! Yeah!

That must be it.

As I nodded my head in agreement, I felt a reaction in my spatial sense.

Hmm? Is someone trying to transfer?

Is this taming and shifting a guillemot?

I thought for a moment, but quickly withdrew it.

The construction of the metastasis is different in sophistication from that of

the guillemot.

In a word, messy.

In fact, if it was a giyuri giyuri, it would have shifted the moment we detected
it.

It's not giyuri giyuri when it takes so long to activate.

If you think about it, I'm pretty well built, but if you compare me to Giyuri
Giyuri, who is a true god, then you're comparing me to the wrong person.

In fact, just being able to use space magic makes you one of the most skilled
in this world.
The only exceptions are me and Guillemot, and space magic is not something
you can use all the time.

Even that Demon Lord can only use space magic halfway, you know?

And, for some reason, while defending the unseen surgeon, who will
transfer? Hold.

It was the old man who came.

Oh, it's him, isn't it?

I've seen this old man before.

It's a face that I've seen a lot in my day.

I heard that this old man's name was Ronant.

Well, whatever his name is, this old man is the first court mage of the empire.

Definitely the strongest in the empire.

I think I'm the strongest of the human race, not just in terms of empire, but in
terms of my magic skills.

In addition, he is the master of magic of Julius the Brave, which makes him
quite popular.

I had also marked him as a person to watch out for on the side of the human
race.

He's an authority on space magic, after all, and he's the most highly skilled
person I know.

When I heard that someone was going to transfer, I was the first choice.

The question is, how did such an old man come to be here with this timing?

The old man was supposed to go with the imperial army led by Natsume.
The old man is stronger than Natsume, so it was impossible to brainwash
him, but it would be a shame to waste his strength, so he was ordered to
serve in the army as usual.

You can do that because you hold the sword emperor, the head of the empire.

And the imperial army is supposed to be marching towards the elf village
right now.

I wonder why the old man who should be there is here?

Well, if I think about it normally, I guess I'm here to help Yamada and the
others.

I'm sure you don't know Yamada-kun directly, but he's your apprentice
brother.

In case you're wondering, I'm also acquainted with Hylience, who is

accompanying Yamada-kun.

I'm at …. Is this something you'd go to the trouble of rushing to in transition?

I don't know what's going on.

Well, it doesn't matter if we have one more old man now, we can still do
what we need to do. In the first place, Yamada-kun is all that is needed for
this experiment.

It's not really about strength.

Because this royal castle is nearly empty now.

There will be no fighting.

So it won't change if the old man joins us.

I'm rather sorry to trouble you, old man, but there's nothing to do, is there?

The old man was standing on the wall of the royal castle.
I was very careful not to be spotted, and observed the old man while hiding
my presence.

The old man also seemed to be searching for signs of life in the royal castle
and did not move from his spot.

He raises his eyebrows quizzically.

Well, yeah. There are hardly any people in this castle now.

I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it.

"Well, yeah."

I-I-V!

The old man whispered to himself in his mind.

Think more, man!

It's obvious that there's something wrong with the castle.

Don't just say, "Well, yeah, I guess."

There's something more dignified about being the first mage of the court.

Now, there's something...

The old man lost interest in what was going on inside the castle and started to
look at the sky outside the castle.

Hahaha. Well, he's a Mabeys, isn't he!

I know you're there.

This is a person who lives at a unique pace.

Most of the time, people like that lack coordination and can't act in groups.
Oh, man. I wish you would respect harmony a little like I do.

So? Is this old man waiting for Yamada and the others to arrive?

Maybe he's planning to meet up with Yamada and the others and raid the
castle again.

I wonder if such a maverick old man can really cooperate with Yamada and
his friends.

I'm sure they'll split up.

You know, I was just about to say that I'm going to shoot some magic at
Yamada and the others. ------------------ What? What's that old man doing?

For Yamada and the others, magic, huh?

1 I 0-.

It's not here.

How can that be?

I don't know why the old man is hurling magic at Yamada-kun and his group
flying above us.

Yamada-kun and his friends are riding Urushibara-san, who has turned into a
dragon, and are flying through the sky.

A beam of light is shot at Yamada and his group.

Mr. Urushihara is flying quite high in the sky, but his aim is accurate.

Urushibara-san moves violently left and right to avoid it.

You're a pretty good shot, befitting your title as the first mage of the court.

I don't think I should be impressed.

I don't know why the old man is attacking Yamada and the others, but if this
continues, Yamada and the others may retreat.

Yamada and the others are being pushed around.

I'm trying to close the distance between us, but closing the distance means
getting closer to the old man, where the magic is launched, and getting closer
means that the magic is no longer attenuated by the distance, making it more
powerful.

Even more importantly, the time it takes for magic to reach you will be
shorter.

This means that they are harder to avoid and take more damage when they hit.

Some manga heroes say that a knife is faster than a gun at close range, but that
doesn't mean that a gun is weak at close range.

There's even a term for it: zero range shooting.

Against skilled wizards, you have to get close to them to win, but even if you
do, you don't know if you can win.

Do you think Yamada and the others can get close to the old man?

If you don't follow me, you're going to die.

A beam of light was shot from the old man's staff, which Urushibara-san
avoided while moving forward.

But as I thought, or perhaps I had reached my limit in avoiding it, the beam of
light grazed Yamada-kun's cheek as he rode on Urushibara-san's back.

It seems that Yamada was also defending himself with a wardrobe, but even
so, he couldn't kill the power, and blood dripped from his cheek.

Mr. Urushibara, perhaps having made up his mind, started to move straight
ahead.
He abandoned evasion altogether and plunged straight at the old man.

That's the kind of thing you can do.

Sure enough, the old man shoots a beam of light at Mr. Urushibara.

That ray of light was repelled by the magical light shield that Yamada-kun
produced.

Are you planning to close the distance while preventing this?

A light beam was emitted, and Yamada-kun flipped it off, and the battle was
repeated several times.

When the distance between him and the old man was sufficiently short,
Yamada jumped off Urushibara-san's back and cut at him^.

Oh, wow. It's just like an action movie.

But unfortunately, the old man was better than me.

Yamada^'s sword cuts through the sky.

From Yamada's point of view, he may not have been able to understand what
happened, but as a third party observer, I could clearly see the moment.

It's a short-range transfer.

The old man activated his short-range transfer and went around to Yamada-
kun's side.

"Hmm. Well, I guess I'll give you a passing grade."

The old man said something like that in a pompous manner.

In the next moment, a magical barrage was fired at Yamada-kun.

This is a fast, low-level magic sequence, isn't it?

The more magic you learn as your skill level increases, the more powerful it
becomes, but the longer it takes to activate.

Instead, they create a magic barrage by hitting low-level magic with low
power.

This old man is pretty good for a human being.

Yamada blocked the barrage with his sword and the magical light shield he
used to use on Satsuki.

But it feels like it's all I can do to defend myself.

We can't seem to fight back, in fact, we're slowly being pushed back.

"Oh!"

The one who set the situation in motion was Harrys, who jumped from
Urushibara-san's back.

He swung his sword down, falling toward the old man's brain.

The old man escapes with a short-range transfer, just as he did to Satsuki
Yamada-kun.

The old man shifts behind Yamada-kun.

Yamada-kun and Hylience, who landed on the ground, regained their

positions.

I'll have to start over.

However, in the sky above the old man, Urushibara-san and Oshima-kun on
his back are ready to attack at any time.

One against four.

It was difficult for even the old man to deal with this number.
The old man himself knows this.

"Oh, no. I can't win this one. Quit, quit. That's why we have to retreat."

What a way to say, he ran away in transition.

This time, not a short-range transfer, but a proper transfer.

I had already started to build up my transfer technique right after I avoided

Hyliens' attack with a short-range transfer.

You knew from that point on that you had no chance of winning.

... And?

What was that old man doing here after all?

There was a mysterious attack on the old man, but Yamada and his team set
out to do what they were supposed to do, rescue the people who were about
to be executed.

The attack by the old man must have been unexpected for Yamada-kun and the
others, but it was unexpected for me as well.

What was he really like, that guy …?

Yamada's group explores the unpopulated castle.

His steps were cautious, as if he suspected a trap.

But it's not like there's a trap or anything, you know?

So, I reached the throne room without any difficulty.

What awaited Yamada-kun and the others there was the first prince of this
country, Sairis, sitting on his throne. And lined up in front of them were the
third prince, Reston, who had been declared to be executed, the Duke and
Duchess, and a lady named Cleveia.
The lady called Clevea is a maid who used to work with Yamada-kun.

She's too big to be a maid, but she used to be a female soldier. I captured her
along with Reston during the rebellion, so I lined her up here for good
measure. The executioners are standing behind the four men.

Those executioners swung their swords down and cut off the heads of the
third princes just when Yamada-kun and the others couldn't get there in time.

Yamada-kun rushed over there and activated a certain skill.

Resurrection of the dead skill, mercy.

While I secretly watched, the Third Princes' resuscitation was completed.

It's been a long day.

It's all about people living and dying.

The power of God can control even life and death.

I felt unsettled, as if I was being shown a part of the tremendous power of 0.

It's not that I can't raise the dead, too.

But that's only in this world, where there is a system.

It is a limited power that can be exercised only in this world, where the
concept of life and death is originally different from the rest of the world.

I would never be able to reanimate the dead in a world without a system,

even if I stood on my head.

And yet, 0 has created it from scratch.

Even before I became a god, I couldn't foresee the limit of my power, and
even after I became a god, I couldn't foresee the bottom.

It's frankly terrifying.

It's such a miraculous feat, and yet Yamada is performing it for such a small
price.

They don't understand how unprecedented that is.

It's not a job that can be done at the cost of increasing the level of abstinence.

If it were possible to simply come back to life, I wouldn't be so attached to

life.

umbo.

Yamada? I kept it to four because I didn't want to run out of people, but I
wonder if I could have added a few more people?

Looking at the situation, Yamada-kun is not contraindicated.

But even so, the level of abstinence has probably increased by four levels, so
it's not useless.

Besides, Yamada's forbidden caning is like an added bonus.

I mean, this one itself is like a bonus.

If you fail, it doesn't bother you that much.

And the experiment has worked.

Observe the soul of the resurrected third prince.

Yeah.

Poteimus' soul has been bared.

It's enough to know that once you die, you can rip Poteimus out of your body.

The purpose of this experiment was to find out what would happen if a
person who was parasitized by Poteimus was killed and revived once?
Examine the results.

Because of the way the system was designed, I had expected that the effects
of the skill would not remain in the soul of a dead person, and now I had
proof of that.

Well, what I mean to say is that if you kill one bump and revive him, you can
break him out of Poteimus' control.

It was a rather forceful move, but it gave us a way to rescue the teacher from
the clutches of Potimus if something went wrong.

… In order to do that, you have to kill the teacher once, and that's a measure
you don't want to take if you can help it.

Besides, it wasn't elves who were used in the four-mage experiment, but
humans.

The human race is supposed to be outside of Potimus's domain, so we can

expect him to be quite reckless in his parasitism.

If that's the case, even if it's possible to kill a human once, it's not possible to
kill an elf.

It could even be a hatchet job.

I guess it's better to think of it as a last resort.

Now that I've accomplished my goal, all that's left is to see Yamada-kun and
the others escape safely.

"Shun, just go and check the transporter, just in case. I'll be here to check on
Reston and the others. I'll stay here and see how Reston and the others are
doing."

"I get it."

Apparently, Yamada and the others were going to check on the transition
team.
The transfer team is one of the most important means of transportation in this
world.

It's convenient, isn't it, to be able to cross the continent in an instant?

If you want to cross the continent without using the transfer team, the only
way is to cross that sea full of water dragons or go through the Elroh
Labyrinth.

The ocean is a mulligan, so the only real option is the Elroh Labyrinth.

Yamada and the others went to check on the transition team.

Of course, the transition team has already been destroyed by Natsume's hand.

We will not let them cross the continent so easily.

Well, I guess he said that just in case and because he wanted to move around
a little more freely.

The door to my §15 shop is open ^^.

You don't even knock, you don't have any manners.

"It's in very poor taste."

And this was the first thing he said when he walked in.

Are you crazy?

You're the one.

As proof of this, he sat down on the chair opposite of where I was sitting in a
careless and violent manner.

"I'm going to have Master Ronant, Julius' teacher, fight Shun, Julius' brother.
It's dramatic, but put yourself in the shoes of the one who was hit. Don't you
know how Ronant-sama felt when he chose to retreat?"
I don't care if you say so.

That old man just came here on his own.

I don't know you. I don't care. It's a false accusation.

I ignore him and drink my tea to show that I will not accept his protest.

"I don't think that's what people do."

Oh, no.

I'm not a private person, now or ever.

But it doesn't feel good to be called such an evil demon, either.

If I'm misunderstood and I'm told I'm the same as you, I'm going to be
irritated.

"That kind of black is ungodly."

So I talked back to him.

To the black Guillory Guillory disembodied entity sitting in front of me,

named Hylins.

"Yes, it is. That's what I think myself. You're much more like a god than I am,
even though I just became one."

Guri Guri sighed deeply.

"I know it. I know that whatever I say about this matter is just a ploy. I
understand that the path you are on is the best one. But still, still, these
feelings are hard to suppress."

Lament 0.

I'm sure you'll feel ashamed when you see that you had to kill Julius, the
previous hero who had been your childhood friend, and that his brother is
going through a lot. It's none of my business.

I don't know anything about what the guy who was playing on the side of
justice with the heroes while managing the world has to say.

I'm sorry.

"We've got a divergence in resuscitation."

So, I ignored Gyuri Gyuri's feelings and finished my practical report.

"I see. If we hadn't been able to diverge, we would have had to take care of
them again, but we were lucky."

A look of relief from the bottom of my heart.

As a Hyliinth, I have no small amount of interaction with the Third Prince.

He must have wanted to keep them alive if possible.

I don't want to kill unnecessarily either, and that would be more helpful.

"In that case, perhaps we should have let the king come back to life as well."

I don't agree with the words that follow though.

That's the same as saying, "I wanted to help all the people I could."

You can't even do that.

"I'm afraid. Do you want to say that you have too many shoulders? I entrusted
you, so I'm not going to talk about it."

"I'll take that."

Satsuki came up with 1111 phrases, though!

We're on the move now.

"It's you guys. I'm not worried about him. But he hasn't lived as long as you
have, so be on your guard."

Thank you for the advice.

I know all about that.

We are prepared to take on this challenge, and there is no way in hell that we
will lose.

The only difference is whether the damage is large or small.

I'm going to give it all I've got.

I mean, I'm afraid of the Pope if I fail.

"Syun and the others will be back soon. Now if you'll excuse me."

With that, Guillory Guillory left the room.

As long as that man is protecting Yamada-kun and the others, there can be no
unforeseen circumstances.

That's why I feel safe.

Yamada and the others are never going to die.

Even if there is, if that man gets serious, he can revive you just like I did.

The man named Hyerinsu is an offshoot of Giyuri Giyuri.

To be more precise, it is a being with a part of its soul transplanted into the
body of a stillborn son of a nobleman of the kingdom.

The soul is that of a god, but the body is still human, so it grows and its status
reflects that. Well, you can use a part of Gyuri Gyuri's power via the soul, so
if you put your mind to it, you can use the power of a god.

Since the body originally belonged to a person who had no connection to

Gyuri Gyuri, it looked nothing like him.

It seems that Gyuri Gyuri sometimes created these alter egos to blend in with
human society.

Its purpose, I don't know.

Maybe it's to pass the time, maybe it's to get lost in the world of other
people, maybe it's to get lost in sentimentality, maybe it's far from any
practical reason.

It's not necessary for the management of the world.

So play.

But even if it's just for fun, it's still affectionate.

He is a close friend of Julius the Brave, and has shared many hardships with
him.

I killed that Julius.

As for Gyuri Gyuri, he must have mixed feelings.

Even if you know in your head that it's something you really need to do.

I guess that's why.

I can't believe he cares about Yamada-kun so much.

I don't know if it's a form of atonement.

For leaving my brother to die.

I wonder if that's why she's so overprotective that she comes to me to

complain about little things like Satsuki.

But the feelings of people.

That old man, the younger brother of his disciple, went out of his way to say
that he couldn't win and retreated.

I wonder if the old man had that kind of sentimentality.

I see.

… Yaya, isn't that crazy?

Why would a guy who came here on his own and fought with Mr. Yamada on
his own, feel sentimental and retreat on his own?

You're crazy.

… Seriously, what is that old man doing here?

I really don't understand how people feel.

 Interlude Pope and Administrator's Home
Drinking.
As night fell, I finished my work and went to my room.

I've been sitting in my office all day and every part of my body is stiff.
Shoulder stiffness, back pain, and the like can be temporarily alleviated with
therapeutic magic, but there is no hope of a complete cure.

I'm old too.

I will probably have to live with this pain until the day I die.

That's what I've been doing in my life.

Suddenly, I remember the life that has been repeated so far.

When I think about them, various memories come back to me as if it were

yesterday. Things went well that time.

On the contrary, I failed that time.

I'm feeling a little sentimental, perhaps because this is the most turbulent time
in my life.

I could feel that the end was near.

Whether or not that end is what I'm looking for, I don't know. …

I went into my private room and picked up the bottle of liquor I had been
keeping.

I hadn't had a drink in a long time, but today I was in the mood for one.

"Can you get me two glasses?"

Suddenly, a voice called out from behind me.

When I turned around in surprise, I saw Master Kuroryu sitting elegantly on
the sofa.

"If you're going to be here, at least knock on the door and come in. It's hard
on my old heart."

"Your heart of steel will not be stopped by this."

The black dragon smiled at us, ignoring our protests.

It was an unusual attitude for this person who always had a wrinkled brow
and a pained expression on her face. I prepared two glasses as I was told and
sat down across from Master Kuroryu.

Pour some sake into each glass.

We clink our glasses together silently from either side.

The clear sound of clinking glasses echoed in the air.

As soon as I poured a little bit of sake into my mouth, the mellow aroma
penetrated my nostrils.

"It's good wine."

"It's a prized possession."

I've been saving it for generations to drink when something good happens,
and although nothing good has happened yet, I thought it wouldn't hurt to open
it up.

I had a feeling that I probably wouldn't have time to open it if I missed this
opportunity.

I savored the taste of sake for a while.

In the meantime, both Kuroryu-sama and I drank in silence, chugging away.

When the first glass is empty, I leave the table and prepare some light snacks.
I prepared something with a light flavor that would not spoil the taste of the
sake as much as possible.

When it comes to snacks for drinking, I prefer something with a strong flavor,
but I don't mind.

Eating is not a meaningful activity for the god, Kuroryu-sama.

Although they have a human form, their taste buds are not necessarily the
same as ours.

Then you can have whatever you like.

best wishes.

Even more so since I hadn't even invited him tonight.

He defended himself and placed a snack of his favorite cheese on the table.

Kuroryu-sama didn't seem to mind, but reached for the knob and chewed it.

"Law."

Apparently, he liked it.

I take a bite and quickly move on to the second bite.

"As expected of the Pope, he eats good food."

multi-.

Apparently, Lord Kuroryu can tell whether a person's food is good or bad.

Although we had known each other for many years, I didn't realize until that
moment that I had never known such a thing.

When I think about it, I have never discussed any personal matters with this
person, only administrative matters. There was no need to do so.
I wouldn't say he was my enemy, but he was not my friend either.

That would have been the case even in the eyes of Lord Kuroryu.

Even though they all share the same goal of saving this world, what they
ultimately want to save is different.

I am a human being.

Kuroryu-sama is a goddess.

Saving the world is only a prerequisite for the salvation of that which we
want to save.

In other words, saving the world is just a process.

So it's no wonder that as a result of this process, the way I envisioned it was
different from the way Kuroryu-sama and I envisioned it.

It was because of this difference that I could not say that Kuroryu-sama and I
were perfect allies.

In the first place, from the very beginning, Lord Kuroryu has the right to hold
a grudge against me.

Yes, you have the right to resent me for cutting off the Goddess for the sake of
the human race.

Because of this, I did not rely on Kuroryu-sama, and I am sure he did not
want to form a joint front with me.

In fact, since we don't know each other's private preferences, it's easy to see
how superficial we've been with each other.

"I like cheese."

"Is that so?"

This might be my last chance to talk to this person in peace.

Perhaps that's why I naturally started talking about myself.

"It took a lot of hard work to get it into this shape. Immediately after the
system was put into operation, we couldn't make cheese using the
conventional method because the bacteria were affected."

"I didn't know that."

Even Kuroryu-sama didn't seem to know about such a trivial matter, and
looked surprised.

"For a few generations or so, I was sad because I couldn't eat cheese."

"I'm sorry. Oh, by the way, you've lost some of your liquor, too."

"Yes. The ones that had already been made were safe, but the new ones
couldn't be made anymore."

"That's why we used to fight over alcohol. It brings back memories."

I really miss that story.

A long time ago, which I would not have been able to remember without my
recording skills.

At that time, the world was being altered by the system, and I was panting in
the midst of the chaos, trying not to drown in it.

It is only now that I look back and realize that I could have done much better,
but at the time, I was so busy dealing with what was right in front of me that I
had no room for a broader perspective.

I still regret the fact that I allowed the elves to take advantage of the gap
between them and the rest of the world.

Potimus, as hard as it is to admit, is a genius.

In the chaotic period immediately after the system went into operation, he
was able to see ahead of everyone else and easily blend his pawn, the elf
species, into the human race and gain recognition.

The elves are on the side of the human race.

At the time, even I recognized this mysterious race of unknown origin as an

ally.

He defeated the demons that appeared, subdued the people that turned into a
mob, and helped people by standing by them.

Like the demons, they appeared out of nowhere, and I recognized them as a
kind of helpful characters by the creator of the system.

I remember my secretary, who was a game enthusiast at the time, describing

them as helpful characters.

"Is it possible that God will not abandon us, even though what we have done
to Him is unacceptable?"

He was in tears as he said this.

He believed that elves were the messengers of God, and he respected them.

I wonder how he would have looked if he knew that the elf was a pawn of
that Poteimus.

He's vicious. That man, Poteimus.

They trample on people's hearts with impunity.

Thinking about it, I scoffed to myself.

I'm not the only one who has taken policies that trample on people's lives.

Poteimus and I are no different in that sense.

"… We were both young then."

Kuroryu-sama spoke to me while I was lost in thought.

Her voice sounded both nostalgic and regretful for the past.

"Yes, you're right. I've made a mistake too big to be called youthful
indiscretion", he said smoothly.

I am amazed at my own words after saying them myself.

I never thought I'd say something I've kept to myself but never said out loud.

"… do you regret it?"

Kuroryu-sama asks me a probing question.

I thought about it for a while, and then, one by one, I confessed what I had
been holding in my heart.

"I'm doing it. One by one."

I regretted it.

I knew that I had made the wrong choice at the time.

But I had made a choice.

Sacrifice the Goddess for the sake of the human race.

And now that I have made that choice, I am obligated to complete it.

Even if I know that it was a wrong choice, I have a duty to save the human
race now that I have made it.

No matter what else is sacrificed.

Having sacrificed the Goddess, there was no other way left for me.

Otherwise, it won't be balanced.

What we have set out to accomplish, even at the expense of the Goddess,
must not be halted halfway.
"I can't stop thinking about it. I wonder what would have happened if I had
made a different choice."

He smiled to himself.

No amount of thinking will change the past.

Syozen is delusional.

But I still think about it.

We will work together with Kuroryu-sama and Ariel-sama to face the

hardships hand in hand.

I wondered if there was such an inexplicably convenient path.

"But there's no point in thinking about it."

"Don't be so sure."

The words that I said to break my shallow delusion were denied by Lord
Kuroryu, however.

"Me too. Same here."

With that said, Kuroryu-sama smiled thinly and tilted his glass.

"I've done it many times. Couldn't you have done it better that time? Couldn't
there have been another way? I wonder."

Oh, I see.

This person also regretted it, didn't he?

"But no matter how much I think about it, I'll never get an answer. Neither can
you, I suspect."

Instead of answering, he chuckled in silence.

I had hit the nail on the head.

No matter how much I think about it, I can't get an answer.

But at the same time, after much thought, I also wondered if the current
situation was better. But at the same time, after much thought, I also had the
thought that maybe the current situation was better.

I would never be able to tell Lord Kuroryu that the current situation is better.

Why do you think so?

If everything had gone well, I probably wouldn't have made it this far.

It was because of that overpowering regret that I was able to discipline

myself and make it this far.

If not for that, I would have broken sooner.

If that had happened, they would have allowed Poteimus to rise even more
than he has.

I am proud of the fact that I have been a bulwark against Poteimus.

If I had been broken and useless, Poteimus would have been able to do
whatever he wanted.

It's that cautious, timid man.

Even without me, they would not be able to do anything big out of fear of
Lord Kuroryu, but it would still be a big difference between having me and
not having me.

He would have reached out with his hand as if he were pouring poison into
it, secretly, so that the Black Dragon would not notice.

It's good at sneaking around like that.

I can assure you of this because I have repeatedly attacked and defended
under water.

In that sense, Potimus' recent moves are unlike him.

Too much movement.

It is certain that the world has been moved, whether we like it or not, by the
foreign body of the reincarnated.

Even so, the movement of Hotimas is a little ^^ I feel that it is too big ^'.

I've always thought it was the result of being inspired by the existence of
reincarnated people, but would that morbidly cautious man really do
something so outrageous just because of that?

Moreover, every time he moved, he was blocked by Aryel-sama and failed.

It's not like that.

The man has a somewhat childish temper tantrum of doing things back when
he's beaten, but even so, his recent moves have been too poor.

I wondered if that was part of the strategy, but the damage he was suffering
was too great for that.

It's as if he's impatient with something. …….

I don't know what caused it, but it's working in our favor.

I'm sure it's something you should do.

Thinking that I would finally be able to put my hands on that man's head, I
was overcome with joy, a touch of sadness, and most of all, a sense of
emptiness that it was finally over.

Maybe I should be excited and happy about this scene, but I'm a little too old
for that.
Not the body, but the mind.

I've been fighting for so long that I feel more of a sense of desolation than a
sense of accomplishment. "Well... Potimus is finally at an end."

"Yeah."

Kuroryu-sama also drank the contents of his glass with deep emotion.

"But you'll never get over that habit of yours."

He said this with a wry smile as he poured new sake into Master Kuroryu's
glass.

After being told, I realized that I had apparently skipped the conversation.

"Did I do something wrong again?"

"I'm sure it's mooring in your head."

"I've been trying to be careful with …. I think I'm very careful, but I've never
been able to get rid of this vice, no matter how many times I've been reborn."

I can't help it, I have a bad habit of forgetting everything around me and
getting lost in my thoughts when I start thinking.

current.

handwriting.

And because he opens his mouth as he thinks, his listeners seem to feel as if
he has lost his train of thought.

I've been mooring them together in my head, just like you said, but if you
hadn't heard me say it, it would have sounded like I suddenly changed the
subject.

"But if I told you everything you were thinking, there wouldn't be enough
time."
"Yes, it is. I'm afraid my throat won't hold out much longer. Oh, no. I think I'll
bite my tongue before that."

"You're right."

I am constantly using my thought acceleration skills, which means that even in

a short period of time, I am thinking about a huge amount of things.

If I wanted to say it all out loud, I would have to speak terribly fast.

You probably can't turn your mouth around and bite your tongue.

I couldn't help but let out a small gasp as I imagined how stupid I looked.

"You've ruined the Pope's dignity."

"It's pine. After all, even if I cause some inconvenience to the surroundings,
it's better not to open my mouth unnecessarily 54 ^, Tsude |

We both had a small smile on our faces as we said that.

It was a strange feeling.

He and Kuroryu-sama would exchange light words like this.

"Yes. What can I do for you?"

However, I can't stay in this peaceful atmosphere forever.

I knew I was going to get in the way, but I had to get to the point.

"That was the end of everything in the Kingdom of Anareyt. I guess that's it."

"I see."

The one that Lord Kuroryu refers to as that must be Lord Bai.

He is one of the reincarnated people who have been with Aryel-sama for the
past few years.
And he is the one who is creating this major historical trend.

"If it was her, she wouldn't have messed up."

"Well. You must have a very high opinion of that thing."

"That's true. He is the one who created a stormy sea in this world that had
been stagnant for a long time."

"Rough seas, huh? That's an odd way of putting it."

In truth, I still think it's a warm expression, even in rough waters.

That's a big wave that swallows everything.

It is as if this world, which has stopped until now, is forcibly and forcefully
washed away and turned into a clearing.

"Poteimus is finally over."

Then he brings up the subject again from earlier.

In the hands of Mr. White, the vindictive Poteimus would be finished.

"I don't know, man. It's that Poteimus, after all. It's conceivable that we could
defeat him."

"No. It's not possible."

I can assure you.

I've been in a long struggle with Poteimus, and I can see the bottom of it.

Mr. White, who still has no bottom in sight, and Poteimus.

It's obvious who will win.

Kuroryu-sama must have known that as well.

"For you, Mr. White, Poteimus is only a passing phase, isn't it?"

"I know."

Master Kuroryu agrees with my thoughts.

For Master Bai, Poteimus is merely a transit point to achieve his ultimate
goal.

Eliminate them because they are in the way of achieving the end goal.

That must be the extent of their awareness.

And the end goal is the collapse of the system.

"... Master Black Dragon. Is it really possible to collapse the system and use
the energy to rebuild the world?"

I had been told by Master Kuroryu about Master Bai's purpose and the means
to achieve it.

I asked the same question at that time, but I asked it again.

"Theoretically, it's probably possible."

The answer that came back was the same as the one I had heard before.

In theory, perhaps, even Lord Kuroryu is not certain, as can be seen from
those uncertain words in the lineup.

"The fate of the world hangs in the balance. Putting all our fate in the hands
of an unproven gamble is …."

"I know. "I know", he said, "but I haven't done anything since I heard the
story.

Kuroryu-sama waved his hand in a slightly annoyed manner.

"I did some research, but could not find any proof. I can't interfere too much
with the system. I can't interfere with the system too much, and since I don't
know the full extent of the system, I have to make up for it with predictions."

Hmm. That makes sense.

In order to predict the outcome of anything, it is necessary to understand all

the material events.

If you don't know the full extent of a system, it is impossible to predict the
outcome of events related to that system.

"Well, if you don't mind me saying, we've determined that it's quite possible
to revive this world by collapsing the system."

"What's your basis for that?"

"I did a quick calculation of the amount of energy in the entire system, and
found that it was above the target for global regeneration. If we exclude the
part of the system that is responsible for global regeneration, we will
probably be close to the target value."

"Probably. That's a lot of wishful thinking."

"It's inevitable. But it certainly won't be enough, no matter what we think."

If it's the calculations of none other than Lord Kuroryu, can we trust him
there?

"But rather than those objective facts, I think the answer lies in what it
confirms."

"And you said you had 1111?"

"That means they've already figured out how to do it. It's already figured out
how to do it, as a formal function of the system, of all things."

At the words of Master Kuroryu, I stopped thinking for a moment.

Does the system already have such a function?

Does that mean that that method of the system's own self-destruction is one of
the right ways to go about it?

"It's no wonder. There are many more functions in the system that I don't even
know about. How can you be sure it is not one of them?"

It is true, if you ask me, but still, what about the fact that options such as self-
destruction are defined as one of the normal routes?

I question the sanity of the system's creators.

"The very existence of the system itself is a mass of insanity. One or two
more insane features won't make any difference now."

"At... I'm with you."

I don't want to speak ill of the system that keeps us alive, but the way it
forces us to kill each other and then recovers the energy of the dead creatures
is insane, isn't it?

"I suspect that something is going on with the ruler."

"Ruler...?"

Rulers are those who have the same Seven Virtues skill as my temperance
and the same Seven Deadly Sins skill as Aryel-sama's violent eating, and
among them, those who have established their ruling authority.

It's not enough to just have those skills, you have to establish dominant
authority to become a ruler.

The ruler has some privileges and is allowed to interfere with the system to a
greater or lesser extent. "But what are some of the powers the ruler has?"

I am one of the rulers.

I am familiar with the authority that the ruler has.

There shouldn't be anything in that section about the system destroying itself.

"What if one person is not enough? For example, yes, all the rulers must
come together and take certain actions in certain places."

I can't say for sure that I don't.

There was little cooperation from the rulers.

At any rate, three of the rulers were in a constant state of hostility to each
other.

It's me, Master Aryel, Potimus.

The rest of the rulers were rarely even born in the first place.

The seven virtues, the seven deadly sins, and all the rulers could only be
found together in the turbulent times of the system's first days of operation.

Even then, the rulers were divided into various camps and were never
united.

In other words, the rulers have never been united yet.

If there were any special conditions attached to this unknown state, there was
no way to be sure. And there was one specific place I could think of.

Deepest part of the Elroh Labyrinth.

This is the back of the great labyrinth that the first ruler of sloth spent his life
completing.

If there is one, it's the only one.

"For the past few years, it seems to be trying very hard to get someone else to
take over the leadership skills."

"I see."
Is that what happened?

If that's the case, then Lord Kuroryu's prediction may not be too far off the
mark.

"But then, wouldn't it be counterproductive to take down Poteimus?"

Hoteymouth is also one of the rulers/:.

If all the rulers were necessary, then that would also be necessary.

"It's not as if they haven't taken this into account. I'm sure they've taken some
measures. I don't know what they are, though. In any case, it's unlikely that
he'll cooperate with us if we keep Potemus alive."

"I see. If it's only a hindrance, when do you mean by that?"

There is no way that Poteimus will cooperate.

If that is the case, it would be more meaningful to eliminate the useless

attempts at persuasion and try a different approach.

"But if that happens, will I be the next to be eliminated?"

I say this jokingly, but I don't think I'm wrong.

This was one of the situations that I had anticipated even before hearing from
Master Kuroryu today.

Next to Poteimus, who is the most annoying person to the Aryehls?

No need to think about it, it would be me.

And the theocracy is weaker than ever.

The loss of soldiers due to the resurrection of an ancient mechanical weapon

over a decade ago.
After that incident, in which they temporarily cooperated with the Aryehs and
even that Poteimus, the strength of the Shinto religion fell to the ground.

In the past decade or so, we've been able to recover quite a bit, but that
doesn't mean we've been able to plug the holes.

We lost a lot of young people who were supposed to be experienced and

skilled, but who had a promising future.

At present, there are not enough soldiers in that age group, so the older
soldiers who should have retired are being retained and younger soldiers are
being brought up to fill the posts.

However, that collapsed in the last war.

Even though they knew in advance that they would lose, they could not afford
not to send any reinforcements, so they sent a good number of soldiers to the
empire and never came back.

I know it's no use to compete with Aryel-sama in terms of strength, but the
strength of the Shinto religion is declining.

In addition, the announcement of the fake heroes and the forcible notification
of the Imperial Army's expedition are quite reckless. The other countries
don't know about the fake heroes yet, but if they are exposed, the authority of
the Shinto religion will fall to the ground.

The existence of the brave is so heavy for the human race.

Furthermore, if it became known that the imperial troops we had allowed to

pass through were actually demons, it would be the end of the Faith. All of
this was necessary for the overthrow of Potimus, but at the same time, if
Aryel-sama made this proposal in order to bring down the authority of the
Shinto religion, his ultimate goal would be my head.

I know this, but I'm the one who took all of Ariel's suggestions. "Is … okay?"

"Yes. "Yes, I think this is the right time for the use of Shintoism. We should
not miss the world's trend because we are reluctant to use it.
The world is in a state of great flux right now.

Shintoism, too, is unavoidably a part of that larger trend.

Already, theism is not strong enough to resist this major trend.

Then we can only accelerate the process.

Even if the power of the current pushes it away and the Shinto religion
collapses.

Shintoism is a religion that exists solely to protect the human race.

Then it is also good to perish with a great cause to protect the human race.

"For the human race. For the turbulent times that will come after the death of
Potimus. I am ready to unite the human race against the Word of God. I am
ready for that."

What does it take for people to be united?

It's plain evil.

My anger, my grief, my frustration.

An opponent you can hit with them.

For the masses, the belief that they are the righteous ones is the guiding force
for unity.

Then, in order to unite the human race, Shintoism can be evil.

"… You're very thorough with that one."

"I had no choice but to be thorough. I'm not even allowed to redeem myself."
"Redeeming yourself" is a ridiculous thing to say.

I'm not allowed to do that.

Because it is not allowed, we have no choice but to follow our original
intention.

For the human race.

Just for the sake of it.

He had abandoned the goddess with it.

Then I'll give everything I have just for that, and even make an enemy of God.

"… I'm a little jealous of your lack of hesitation."

From my point of view, I envy you guys more.

You're the ones who can stay close to the Goddess.

I thought about it, but didn't say it out loud.

Kuroryu-sama has his own circumstances, and he has things to deal with just
like I do.

"We can't help each other, can we?"

"It's a pine box."

After that, we spent the rest of the night talking about useless things.

We both knew that this would be the last time we would be able to have a
quiet drink together.

Regardless of whether the Aryehs succeed or fail in what they are trying to
do, the times are going to be turbulent.

It was not a hunch, but a conviction.

Until then, I will do what I can to ensure that the human race survives.

It was the only duty I was allowed to do.

 Work to watch over a group of brave men.
The third prince and others have been resuscitated, and there's nothing left to
do in the Kingdom of Analects.

The kingdom is still in turmoil, but that's none of my business.

The king was dead, the first prince was useless, and the third prince was
suspected of treason.

It's a sloppy courtroom drama.

I can't wait for the battle for the throne to begin!

I'm the one who made it happen.

Yamada, you should get caught up in it for good.

But then a problem occurred.

The teacher who woke up told me that the imperial army led by Natsume was
marching on the elf village.

It seems that the elves have some sort of control freak with a far-fetched
story, like a theocracy.

We're making good progress in getting rid of all the elves in the world, but it
seems that there are still many that we've missed.

We need to eradicate every last one of them before we invade and destroy the
elven villages.

I'll assign the Tenth Army, which has completed its work for both the Empire
and the Kingdom, to work on that side.

I'm sorry to do this right after I finish my super busy work, but this is also a
super important job and I need you to give it up. Black?
That's what military people are like, I'm sure.

Besides, if it wasn't for the increased work of this and that in the empire in
the first place, the Tenth Army was going to devote itself to hunting elves all
over the place, so it's just back to normal.

So it's not my fault that I'm so busy, it's the Pope's fault.

It's not my fault.

I mean, it's my job to find the elves in various places and send the Tenth
Army's personnel there.

I'm the busiest!

Black.

Apply for paid holidays.

I had a vision of the Demon Lord smiling and saying "No".

Damn it.

So, back to the story, Yamada and his friends, who heard from the teacher
that the Elf Village was in trouble, somehow decided to leave the kingdom
behind and set out to defeat Natsume.

Hoai?

I don't know why that's happening.

-? , ^"ya , tsun .... 0."

I know what you're talking about, okay?

Now that the human race and the demons are at war, leaving Natsume-kun,
who is free to do whatever he wants, in the midst of the war could endanger
the entire human race.
So, is it going to be a story about the immediate kingdom and going to subdue
it? Even the third prince who remains in the kingdom wants to keep the
strength of Yamada-kun, who is a real hero, at hand.

At a time when we might have to fight with the First Prince's faction.

It may sound good to say that the third prince has a broad perspective, but it
could also be said that he sees too far and neglects his feet.

The kingdom's civil war may start from here, you know.

Yamada-kun, who is being sent away, probably isn't thinking about this
………... When the third prince told him to go, he immediately replied, "Of
course."

He replied as if he couldn't let Natsume go without thinking too much about

the situation in the kingdom, right?

If possible, I'd like to see Yamada-kun stay in the kingdom, but it seems like
there's a unanimous decision to have him leave for the elf village.

In this atmosphere, is it too much to ask Hi-Lins to give a dissenting opinion?

Sure enough, Hylins didn't have any objections, and Yamada-kun's trip to the
elf village was decided.

I'm going to do it.

I had let my guard down, thinking that the imperial army wouldn't reach the
elf village in time.

But, you know, in case something like this happened, we made a small effort
to prevent people from entering and exiting the continent of Dasturdaya to the
continent of Kastanagara, where the Elven villages are located.

With the help of the Word of God!

When in doubt, ask for help from the Shinto religion.

It's great because it's actually beneficial.

Well, it's not that big of a deal.

I just told the world what happened in the Kingdom of Anareyt and put out an
APB on Yamada and his group. What happened in the Kingdom of Anareyt
was ostensibly a plot by Yamada and his friends to kill the king and take over
his throne.

If Yamada and his friends come to visit you, don't let them use the transition
team, it's quicker to put out an APB than to tell them.

The best way to cross the continent is to use the transfer team.

And to prevent that from happening, I had to destroy the transfer station in the
Kingdom of Anareyt.

If they were wanted in various countries, Yamada and his team would have to
slow down.

It's not like there are any pictures of him, so it's not like the general public
would know what he looks like, but I'm sure the security guards would still
be looking at him. Just as I was thinking this, Urushibara-san, who had turned
into a glowing dragon, flew away on his back.

5^^ra-^.

It's empty!

... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I said a boring cag, I'm sorry I'm alive. I'm sorry, I'm
sorry.

Flying is a very smooth way to move around, isn't it?

You don't have to worry about roads and obstacles, and you can jump over
low mountains.

In this world where demons exist, it is normal for roads to meander to avoid
the realm of demons.
If it's meandering, that means it's going to be longer, and if you can ignore that
and fly straight, then it's going to be shorter.

In addition to the demon's territory, there are other obstacles, such as rivers
and mountains, that limit the path, but that doesn't matter when you're flying.

So we can move forward in the shortest possible time.

And if you want to proceed in the shortest possible distance, the number of
towns and villages you have to stop at is minimal.

There is less risk of being exposed.

In fact, I've never been caught.

It's Yabe I.

I was calculating it on foot, but if I recalculate it on flying, there will be a lot

of Murotsuchiya, Ri?

... I don't think so!

What Yamada and the others are aiming for is that! That! The Great Labyrinth
of Elroh!

In the Great Labyrinth of Elro, you can't fly, and your movement speed must
be slow.

In addition, the Great Labyrinth of Elroh is very intricate and large.

Once you get lost, it's very difficult to get out.

That's why there is such a thing as a guide.

I've already placed imperial soldiers at the entrance of the Erz丨Great

Labyrinth.

And I've made the guides aware of what happened in the Kingdom of Anareyt
and told them about Yamada-kun and the others who are wanted.
There would be no guide to show Yamada and the others around in this.

Stepping into the Great Labyrinth of Elroh without a guide is suicide itself.

Elro^ - I lived in the labyrinth, and I can testify to that.

Definitely.

And the only other way to cross the continent is to fly straight across the
ocean?

I don't think that's suicidal either.

The sea is the territory of the water dragon.

I'm sure Urushibara-san, who has evolved into a light dragon, can handle a
certain amount of water dragons, but it would be foolhardy for him to do so
while flying all at once.

We have to fly day and night over the ocean, never knowing when flak will
hit us, right?

I don't have the strength or the energy.

In conclusion, the adventures of Yamada and his friends came to an end here.

B^-1, Actually, both of them are suicidal.

If I tried to do that, Hi-Rince would have stopped me.

Go ahead and kill some time on the continent of Dasturdaya.

That's what I thought, and I was caught off guard.

Currently, my alter ego is following behind Yamada-kun and his group.

And our current location is in the Great Labyrinth of Elroh.

Why not?
He had secured a guide so quickly that he was surprised to find that he had
entered through the secret undersea entrance, ignoring the Empire's defensive
main entrance.

丨Don't worry about it.

The guide that Yamada and her friends secured was an old man named
Basgas.

Do I feel like I've met you before?

When I thought about it, I found out that he was the first person to discover
me when I was a spider.

For some reason, she proudly told Yamada-kun that she had escaped from
me.

The uncle of the guide with the explosive name and his son had met each
other through a chance of having guided Hylience once in the past, and he had
taken on the job of guiding us in the same way.

Hey, Hye-Lins.

You're the one who turned a capable guide into a friend!

卩:

He's a good man, isn't he?

I've been coming to the labyrinth to see the Pei'hi^^----------------1^. I've

been coming to the labyrinth to see Pei'hui and the others, and I've been
observing the humans while I'm there.

What I learned then was that even guides are not always the same.

There were also guides who usually took the wrong road.

On this point, this uncle is going without looking at a map and without getting
lost.
It is impossible for a guide to be able to give directions without looking at a
map, unless he or she is very experienced. He was a veteran, as could be
seen from his age.

Thanks to them, Yamada and his friends' journey was smooth.

Yamada and his friends are all at a high level of status, so things are
progressing at a very high pace.

If I don't, I'll be able to break through the Erro^^ Great Labyrinth with
strength and room to spare.

To get to the elven village, we have to use the transfer station that the elves
are hiding, but if we use the one closest to the exit of the Great Labyrinth of
Elroh that I know of, we should be able to make it before the imperial army
arrives.

Oh, by the way, I think I know almost all of the transition teams that the elves
use.

After all, our division's intelligence capabilities are excellent!

Well, it's very difficult to find a spider that is not attracted to the palm of your
hand unless you recognize it and are alert.

We distribute it to thousands all over the world, so we can collect

information accordingly. So, the elves marked it more carefully than the
others, and it was easy to figure out where the transfer team would be if they
were to follow along.

It's not like they can't come and go as they please.

So I think I know everything there is to know about the transfer teams that
have been used since I scattered the minutes.

I don't know if there are any that I haven't used.

Hmm. The elves probably think we don't know where the transfer station is.
Hmm. Stupid people.

You don't even know where the transporter is, do you, you idiot?" The elf
was mocked by those who were mocking him."

P^-, couscous^-.

This is not the time to make fun of elves.

Yamada-kun and others are somehow one.

If everything goes without a hitch, we'll get there in time, right?

. 1 0.

Baby, do you want to hurt them?

The babies are the white spiders that my parallel wills once created.

It's like a household that's been mass produced using the spawning skill.

Well, they attacked some city with parallel wills and threw the survivors
here in the Erlow Labyrinth.

After that, he apparently lived his own life here in the Great Labyrinth of
Elroh.

When I chickened out after my deification, he was extremely friendly.

Apparently, I was judged a creator even after I became a deity.

In fact, it was created by parallel wills.

I heard that those babies are known as the residue of nightmares.

I'm the nightmare in the labyrinth, by the way.

As for the same spider-type demon that appeared after the nightmare
disappeared, well, it seems that they suspected a connection and named it
Residue.

I don't care if they suspected it or not, it's very relevant.

I'm going to buy some time by luring those babies to Yamada and the others:
……... No. .... I don't think so. Those babies will kill Yamada-kun and the
others.

The babies were hunting down the predecessor, Julius, just by themselves ...
Yamada-kun's strength isn't much higher than that of the brave Julius, and he'll
die if he's struck.

I think Yamada-kun is probably better than Julius the hero in terms of status
alone.

But I don't have enough real-world experience by far.

Also, mental things like determination and so on.

So if you actually compare it to Julius the Brave, I think it's about the same or
even stronger than Julius the Brave.

I don't know what to say, but Julius the Brave has already defeated the K'un
division.

I'm sure that the strength of Julius the Brave would not have been able to
defeat the Kuan Branch, but he did.

I'm afraid of the power of the brave.

Yamada-kun, who is a hero and has the Heaven's Blessing skill, should be
even more careful.

， Tsu --- n 〇 ， Tsu .- 〇

But how can I help?

It is quite difficult to sabotage Yamada and his friends without killing them.
We have to keep them alive, don't we?

It's easy to kill, though, isn't it?

I won't do it, though, because I have a teacher.

But even if you injure them slightly, they will be healed by the healing magic
and that's it.

It won't even stop us.

When are you going to transition back to the kingdom?

… No.

I'm short-handed.

To tell you the truth, I'm so busy right now that I don't have time to do
anything for you guys.

If I could, I'd have someone from the outside do something, but the only
people who can move in the Elroh Labyrinth are the babies.

And the heebie-jeebies, when you give them bad instructions, they'll get
overzealous and do too much! It's all too obvious.

The reason for the attack on the brave Eurythmics is that they knew from
somewhere that I was planning to defeat them in the Great War, and they took
the initiative to make a discovery.

I'm afraid that if I ask you to stop Yamada and his friends here, you might do
something bizarre, like literally cut off their legs and stop them in their
tracks.

The scariest part is that I'm afraid I'm going to get carried away and kill him.

If it's not Yamada-kun, he can revive you, but it's still dangerous, so let's not
do that.
To be honest, I have my hands full right now, and there's not much I can do
for Yamada and the others, so I'd better not make any unnecessary moves.

I don't have time to worry about things.

This is the best I can do.

But it's pretty fun just to watch them, isn't it, Yamada-kun and company?

What?

Various, various.

I never get tired of looking at it.

I've encountered a series of happenings just by looking at them.

Urushibara-san's humanization.

It turns out that Urushibara-san is a kana-zuchi.

I was surprised to see it humanized.

I went through so much trouble to become an arachne, and you turn me into a
human so easily! We went through a lot of trouble to transform from arachne
to deity and become fully humanoid!

I mean, there was no such thing as humanization in Skyrulan!

The dragon that has humanization by default is a sly one.

If dragons have it, why can't spiders have it too?

Unlike dragons, spiders don't have any unique skills!

But I forgive you.

I was so embarrassed when I said that I was a katazuchi. I was so

embarrassed. Urushibara-san, that arrogant bully, is a katazuchi.
How can you not laugh at this?

No! I'm laughing!

I'll be standing on the ground!

Apparently, Mr. Urushibara has a memory of being bullied, so he is very hard

on me.

I %.

The one who was actually bullied was the real Wakaba Hime-iro Kotobuki
0.

Well, from 0's point of view, it was probably just a puppy barking at him.

But the fact that I'm feeling uncomfortable like this means that 0 wasn't happy
either. Maybe.

Urushibara-san, who could not swim, was chased by the water dragon in the
pitiful water, and revealed a disheveled figure.

7^1 1- \ 41^4 subtract.

, First Name^!

After that, I was blown away by the water dragon's breath, and Yamada's
lucky event when his bathing suit was in trouble was also a funny point.

Urushibara-san doesn't think of Yamada-kun as a man of the opposite sex, but

he gets a casual glare from Oshima-kun when he gets close to him in his
undressed state.

Is it a romantic comedy?

I'm sure there will be a lot of heart pounding events after this and she will
fall in love with Yamada-kun! Then, a love triangle develops, and the story
turns into a sloppy daytime drama. …….... I wonder which will happen,
Yamada getting stabbed to death or the other woman getting stabbed to death.
Waku wai ya, wait.

Considering the effect of Yamada-kun's heavenly blessing, I wonder if it

won't turn out to be a daytime drama, but will continue on the romantic
comedy track and build up a harem in a gentle manner.

What an enviable and unbelievable skill!

That's a hell of a terrible skill to have, considering that every woman who
gets involved with Yamada-kun ends up falling in love with him!

In fact, the percentage of girls around Yamada-kun who fall in love with him
is quite high.

You're my sister, right? Hasebe, right? Oshima-kun, right?

Urushibara-san is still different, but so is the doctor.

Anna, the half-elf former maid, also seems a little different from being in
love with you.

Not so much in love as loyal?

I guess you could say I'm in love with the idea of being loyal.

It's a little nuanced.

... Huh?

I was joking, but seriously, isn't Yamada-kun's harem starting to form?

Thanks to Natsume's work, we are now divided.

… How much of this is the effect of the Heavenly Blessing skill?

I don't care if he fell in love with her because of Yamada's own personal
virtue, but if it's the effect of the skill, it's a really terrible skill.
It's not easy to estimate the effect of a skill when it's hard to feel.

Is the lucky escape that happened when the water dragon knocked me out
actually an effect of heavenly blessings?

But if that's the case, then the mountain people will be wishing for that to
happen. …..

Well, well, it's a boy, yeah. ……

Well, joking aside, the journey of Yamada-kun and his group is somewhat
heartwarming to watch, isn't it?

There was no sense of sadness.

The people I've been involved with lately have all been trapped and full of
grief.

Resisting the Plight of the Demons, by Wagner, Balto, and Wachs. …

The Pope, who has been serving the human race for a long time by
establishing the Divine Word Church.

The village was stuck in the middle of a lot of things^0.

And the demon king who stood up to save the goddess.

Everyone has been pushed to the point where they can't help themselves
anymore, and yet they are still resisting without giving up.

It was so painful to watch.

Yamada and his friends don't have that tragic confusion.

Well, Yamada and his friends have a lot going on, and it's not like they're
doing this just for fun.

But still, it's not enough.

Preparedness.

It's because I haven't encountered any inevitable situations that would

challenge my resolve.

It's not like Julius the Brave, who was constantly questioned about his
resolve and chose his own path.

I've never encountered hardships that were really hardships, so I don't know
how to live a life that is firmly grounded.

I'd rather not live in a cut-and-dried world.

I guess that's the kind of world that the brave Julius wanted to protect.

That's why, although they may be serious about it, I can't help but feel a sense
of warmth when I watch them.

I had to send them to their deaths because I was in a position to do so.

…… But if Yamada and his party arrive at the elf village, they can't help but
get involved.

Then we won't be able to be in a relaxed atmosphere like we are now.

If you're involved in a battle in an elven village, you're exposed to the

absurdities of this world.

If it were possible, I would have preferred not to know about such things and
just be quiet until it was all over.

Well, the fact that things have been going so smoothly so far means that
Yamada-kun himself wants it to happen.

As expected, when things are going so well, I have to question the

effectiveness of heaven's blessings.

Then this is what Yamada-kun himself wanted, and whatever awaits him in
the future, he has to accept it because he'll get there.
Even if it is something that Yamada-kun does not want.

I've been laughing, enjoying myself, and feeling a little sentimental, and I
want to tell myself that I've been going up and down a lot, but I'll keep an eye
on Yamada-kun and his group.

And it seems that Harrys was unwilling to deliver Yamada-kun and the others
to the elf village, and was planning to sabotage them on his own.

When Yamada and his friends stepped into the area known as the Great
Passage of the Elroh Labyrinth, he appeared.

Earth Dragon.

It was a freshly evolved one, much weaker than the Araba.

It seems that the dragon in the upper levels was evolved by hastily
eradicating the demons around there and leveling them up.

I've done something reckless that will destroy the ecosystem again.

I watched the battle between Jiryu and Yamada's group with dismay.

A dragon is a dragon, even if it is weak.

Their status and skills are incomparable to those of any other demons out
there.

Even Julius the Brave had never defeated a dragon.

Well, if we had encountered them, Julius the Brave would have at least
defeated the lower dragons.

There is no doubt that Yamada and his friends are the strongest demons they
have ever encountered. For your information, the strongest thing that Yamada
and his friends have fought is a blood sucking child, without any category of
demons or anything like that.
A blood-sucking vixen can defeat an earth dragon like that while humming a
tune.

In other words, if you can't defeat an earth dragon of this level, you can't win
against a bloodsucking child. However, with Yamada's status, even if he
struggles, there is no way he will lose.

And it's not just Yamada-kun, Urushibara-san is also there.

It seems that Urushibara-san's status, having evolved into a light dragon, has
surpassed Yamada-kun's.

As I used to do, monsters have better status growth than humans. 0

Even though Urushibara-san is a dragon, his status seems to be comparable to

that of a dragon. In fact, he has beaten up an earth dragon.

A girl punches him in the face and he blows up. …

I don't think I can do anything about it, can I?

I think the picture is pathetic.

It seems that I was not the only one who thought so, and the Jiryu himself,
who was bumped off, got angry and charged at Mr. Urushibara.

However, the claws he swung down were easily guarded by Urushibara-san.

The dignity of the earth dragon is ….

After that, when the magical fire whirlwind stopped his movement, Yamada-
kun put an end to it, and the earth dragon was defeated in a daze.

….

This isn't just stopping us, it's just giving Yamada-kun and the others the title
of Dragon Slayer and experience, isn't it?

Oh, maybe the purpose of the high rinse is to kill you.

We're not going to be able to stop them, so are we going to reinforce Yamada
and the others, even if it's just for a little while?

Well, I don't know what Hylins' intentions were, but in the end, it was in
Yamada-kun's best interest.

Is this another blessing from heaven? Is this another effect of heavenly

blessings?

I'm tempted to blame Heaven's Blessing for everything that happens in

Yamada-kun's favor. I can't believe it.

"Brave?"

What appeared on the scene, talking to Yamada-kun and the others in

telekinesis, was one of the babies.

What? What are you doing out here?

No, I don't want to be weirded out. …

I'm a little busy right now, so I can't stop the babies from attacking Yamada-
kun and the others.

What do I do?

"Brave?" "Ruler?"

"Ruler, ruler, ruler, ruler, ruler, ruler, ruler, ruler, ruler."

While I was saying that, a bunch of babies were gathering here.

"Identification is not possible?"

"Unappraisable, unappraisable, unappraisable, unappraisable,

unappraisable, unappraisable."

"The ruler?"
"Ruler, ruler, ruler, ruler, ruler, ruler, ruler, ruler, ruler."

"Reincarnate?"

"Reincarnate, reincarnate, reincarnate, reincarnate, reincarnate, reincarnate,

reincarnate."

"But weak?"

'Weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak.""

'Weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak,
weak, weak, weak, weak.""

ひ一卩.

be slow to take action or make a mistake.

"Do you know the reincarnated?"

Yeah!

multi-.

And Yamada-kun.

You're not afraid of anything, are you?

You can't talk to a bunch of babies like that.

You don't think they're going to attack us?

"I know, I know, how could I not know?"

"How do you know all this?"

I'm sorry. It seems that the babies are not going to attack you right away.

"Master..." "Master..."
丨丨Mazza丨.

That's my thing, isn't it?

"Is that master丨a reincarnated person?"

"You'll see." "You'll see." "You'll see." "You'll see."

Oh, hi.

Well, when Yamada and the others come to the Elf Village, we'll probably
see each other. "What do you mean?"

"Declaration." "Declaration."

"The beginning of the end."

"The world begins."

"The world is ending."

"Wait a minute! What does that mean?"

What do you really mean, Leigh?

Do they know what they're talking about?

It's not like we're supposed to say something cool like that, is it?

"There's no point in knowing."

"I'm gonna die anyway."

"We're all gonna die."

"Live and let live."

With that, the babies disappeared from Yamada and the others' sight.
Do/Subscribe: .... 0.

Before I knew it, my children had developed a mid-life crisis: ….

The babies, who had reached a point where Yamada and the others couldn't
see them, looked satisfied, like they had done it! They look satisfied, like
they've done it!

Where did I get my education wrong?

… Well, he didn't attack me, so that's okay.

They said something very meaningful to scare Yamada and the others, but
what did they want?

My children can't understand what you're thinking.

Warning, what is it?

Even if I say that, I just warned you.

I have a feeling that no matter what Yamada and the others do, they've
reached a point where there's nothing they can do about it.

It may have been a success in the sense that it at least prepared Yamada and
the others for what was to come.

So, is this another positive event for Yamada?

I don't know ….

The blessings of heaven are not universal, and it is not good to blame them
for everything.

If heaven's blessings were all-powerful, Natsume wouldn't have succeeded

in his dark deed in the first place.

My sister and Hasebe are in Natsume's hands.

It's good to be vigilant, but it's not good to be too conscious.

Whatever the case may be, let's continue to watch over Yamada-kun and his
group.
 Interlude hero's sister, evil god's puppet and
running dog.
Looking down at the window^^.

There, I saw the Imperial Army disbanding and dispersing to their assigned
rooms.

I saw a familiar face among them, Yuri, a candidate for sainthood, and
couldn't help but frown.

"Yes. My fiancée seems to be in a foul mood as usual."

Without even knocking, the door of the shop opened, and Yuuko came out.

"Shut up, false brave."

"Oh, I'm scared. I'm scared."

Hugo didn't seem to mind, and sat down messily on the couch provided.

"And don't say fiancé. It's dirty."

"One word for you, Sue. I got it, Sue."

"Don't call me Sue either. I only allow that term to be used by my brother and
those who are especially close to him."

"Yes, yes. Princess Suresia."

Hugo cowers with a smirk on his face.

I felt uncomfortable letting it into my field of vision, so I looked back out the
window.

The imperial army is steadily approaching the elf village.

Today we will garrison the Imperial Guard here for the day, and tomorrow
we will move to another location using the transfer formation. And this room
is reserved for me and Hugo.

Although I am very reluctant to do so, this man and I are engaged to be

married.

Probably to make sure that it would not be unnatural for me and this man to
be working together. The idea of being engaged to such a man, even as a
deception, is repulsive.

If it weren't for my brother, I'd kill this man in a heartbeat.

Yes, this is all for you, brother.

So I can endure even if it's hard.

One day, I encountered an evil god.

He was evil despite his pure white appearance.

Hugo was struck by the evil god when he went to give a hammer of judgment
with his hand to a foolish man called the sinful Hugo who gave his hand to
his brother.

My instincts were telling me that I couldn't win this one.

Disobey and you die.

For the first time in my life, the evil god whispered to me as I was stuck in
fear.

"Brother, shall I let you off the hook? 1."

And I was at the mercy of the evil god.

If I listen to the evil gods, I promise not to mess with you, brother.

For the sake of my brother, I will endure any ordeal. …

"We're almost to the elf village."

Even if you don't see them, you can see that they're laughing.

This man is usually laughing at something that is not even funny.

"Kukk. I'm looking forward to it."

Shut up because your ears are rotting.

If my brother's voice is a performance by a heavenly instrument, this man's

voice is like forcibly pulling on a damaged string.

Oh, I want to hear my brother's voice. …

If I could only hear my brother's voice for a moment, it would calm this
whispering heart. …

"I'm sorry to bother you."

Shoes 0.

It became more of an eyesore.

"Have a good day, little sister."

It's the minion of the evil god, Sophia. Keren.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to check on my sister."

"You've seen it, haven't you? Now get lost."

I'll be stressed out if there are more of them, even if there are only 1111
annoying ones called Yu^~ko^~.

"You're so boring. Why don't we have a little chat?"

"I have nothing to say to you."

"Oh, yes. I was trying to comfort my little sister who betrayed her favorite
and dearest brother by pretending to be brainwashed, and she was crying
with grief."

"What? It's none of your business! God's running dog!"

I wasn't pretending to be brainwashed, I was really brainwashed that time!

Perhaps it was the evil god's instruction, but I was really brainwashed only
at that time when I killed my father.

Why did you do it?

I can only guess, but it seems that that evil god has prepared an escape route
for me.

He said he couldn't help it because he had been brainwashed.

That evil god is vicious, but he shows kindness halfway through.

It would be better for me to be thorough, but ... "Oh? You're the same now?
That's why I betrayed my brother."

"No! I have never betrayed you!"

I would never do that!

"But I'm sure they obey their masters. You must be an enemy of the human
race."

"Shoe!"

"Yes, yes. That face. I've always wanted to see that face."

A look of amusement appeared on Sophia's face.

"It's disgusting."
"I'll take that as a compliment."

I doubt my nerves.

It seems to me that he might have a worse personality than the evil god.

I hope you die. …

"Oh, come on, Sofia. No greeting for me?"

"What? You're here?"

Sofia looks at Hugo as if he were a bug.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm hurting you, okay?"

"Oh, yeah."

What's wrong with looking at insects as insects?

It's like my eyes are rotting when I see a bug and a poisonous woman at the
same time.

"So? Did you get any of the Seven Deadly Sins Skill or the Seven Virtues
Skill?"

"Not... Not yet, sir."

"I'm in trouble. Did you forget your promise to Master?"

foolishness.

The promise I made to that evil god.

That is, to cooperate with the evil gods and to acquire the Seven Deadly Sins
Skill or the Seven Virtues Skill.

Once that is accomplished, your brother's safety will be guaranteed and I

will be free.
But I haven't taken mine yet.

"Well, I guess Master wasn't expecting it, so that's okay."

"Ha! I guess we're just not made of the same stuff."

I clench my fists.

What a humiliation!

I can't believe I'm being looked down upon by these filth.

"Good look."

Sofia chuckles.

"The way the princess, who was born and raised with no problems, trembles
in humiliation like that. I'm intrigued. The prick of all pricks."

See, even Hugo, the representative of the pricks, is pulling away.

What's the point of living if you're a prick who gets bent over by a prick?

I hope you die. …

Why are there so many people in this world except for my brother?

I wish everyone would die except my brother and me.

"But if that guy doesn't make it, will he be okay?"

"I'm sure you'll be fine. I heard that the more control skills you have, the
better, but we have the minimum at the moment. The more the merrier, right?"

"I don't know. Well, I'm the key to that mastery skill? I don't know how to use
it. I don't know how to use it, and I don't care."

He's been manipulated by that evil god, and he's given him two of those keys.
As far as I know, he has obtained a total of six keys: Hugo's greed and lust,
Sophia's jealousy, Lars' rage, which I've never met, Merazophis' patience,
which I've also never met, and the Demon King Aryel's rampage.

I don't even know what I'm going to use that ki^~ for.

But it's not like the evil gods would use it for anything decent.

"I can't get Yuri better than that, isn't it the problem? He's the same
reincarnated person as us."

"Even reincarnated people have their weaknesses, you know."

Yuri was also very excited.

No matter how many rotten nuns are pestering you to recruit your brother, you
can't afford to be brainwashed and played for a fool by ………. I'm sure you
were trying to seduce your brother.

I wonder if I'll make a mistake and end up in God's hands.

You're very religious, and you want to be.

"Oh, yes. Your brother's on his way to the elf village, right?"

"Le:."

You're my brother.

"And the power of an emotional reunion in the home of the elves."

Brother see ….

I want to see him.

But I'm afraid of the meeting.

What do I look like when I see you? …

"I heard that you have a teacher with you. The teacher, Katya, Huey, Anna.
They're very popular with the ladies."

Those guys: …

So... 0.

When I'm having such a hard time, you're just pandering to your brother ….

I was always suspicious of that teacher or whatever he was called.

And Katya.

I used to think of you as a friend, but if you're going to hurt my brother, the
next time I see you...

Ha... 0.

"…. He doesn't mind talking bad about people. He's not bad either, is he?
He's not thinking about anything ugly, is he?"

"Master would never pull out a decent one. He chooses the ones whose
conscience will not be seared by a little mistreatment."

"Na^-ru. I'm satisfied."

They say something, but it's just a bunch of pricks chirping.

I don't care.
 Work to summarize the past and make plans for
the future.
I've been very busy lately, but I think I should have done something before I
got into that situation, don't you?

I'll explain myself.

I didn't have time for this!

It's not as busy as it is now, but it was pretty busy!

I'm still a corps commander, after all.

We had to manage the military.

It's at ^^^^.

I was assigned to the Tenth Army, which did not even have the appearance of
an army to begin with.

The Tenth Army is a group of outcasts who couldn't even make it into the
huddle and were thrown together with the idea of covering up a stink.

How much time did it take to train them … and turn them into fine soldiers
through training, and then to equip them so that they could at least function as
an army? There was no time to rest while they spent all their time preparing
for war.

Black.

Apply for paid holidays^.

It was rejected, but you can find it at ….

Even more, you know?

In parallel, I was doing more things.

This is a close-up of the body.

An intelligence branch that was unveiled during the Great War.

This is like an enhanced version of the palm-sized small spider branch that I
created in the beginning.

It is still the same size as the palm of your hand, but it has enhanced stealth,
is not trapped by sensing skills, and has the ability to feed back what it sees
and hears to the body.

At the time of the Great War, the feed-back function was further expanded to
allow for much better video transmission to a dedicated monitor.

It's a super high-performance self-propelled vehicle.

They scattered thousands of these around the world and used them to gather
various information in real time.

Thanks to this, I was able to get a good idea of where the elves are located
around the world.

The location of the transition team that the elves are hiding was also left out.

giggling sound.

I've been doing a lot of espionage work with the theists and elves, but they're
not even close to my feet.

Come on.

Well, the problem is that this intelligence division has no fighting power and
can be crushed by just stepping on it.

It seems that the stealth ability is high, but that's not the case, but sometimes it
feels like an accident and it gets slammed.
Well, there is no choice but to divide it with the necessary expenses.

I had to replenish them when they got popped, so that was also a hassle.

And we have several thousand of them in operation all the time. In addition,
we were also mass-producing the battle division.

As the name suggests, the battle division is for use in battle.

This is not the case with the intelligence component, which has a different
shape depending on its use.

The first one is the mass production type.

Its size is about 1.5 million.

The shape is almost the same as that of the Zana Zana of the Holowa era,
when it was just a step away from evolving into the Arachne. It is almost the
same as the one from the Holowa era. In short, it has a white body with two
sickle-shaped front legs.

And its main fighting style is the same as that of Zana. It's not that different
from the Holowa era.

They use magic, or sorcery now, to shoot out their evil eyes, and use their
scythes to intercept anyone who gets too close.

Of course, they have strings and poison.

As you can see from the word "mass-produced", there are a lot of these
general-purpose combat variants.

The number is a military secret.

Next is the Queen Branch.

This is the one that was used against Julius during the Great War.
It's a big body made with reference to the mother! No explanation required! It
becomes a split body that pushes with a power that makes the best use of the
huge body.

In fact, its combat power is not that different from that of a general-purpose
combat alter ego.

But the bigger they are, the more expensive they are to make.

So, there are not many of them.

And finally, there is my trump card, the spatial specialist.

As the name implies, it is a palm-sized entity that specializes in spatial

magic.

It looks the same as the Intelligence Branch, but its abilities are completely
different.

It can create other spaces, erode space.

It's a culmination of my space magic, which was highly suitable after being
deified for some reason.

Since you can divide the space and do something like a neck chompa, you
can never beat this space-specialized division unless you have a means to
counter it.

You'll have to have a way to counteract it, like transferring your upper body
and saying goodbye to somewhere else.

You can't run away from it because it can mess with your escape space in the
first place.

If you want to compete with them, you'll have to interfere with my spatial
interference even more, and at the very least, you'll have to compete with
them evenly. In terms of the system, I think it's impossible to cannibalize
dimensional magic, which is an evolution of spatial magic.
In other words, it is impossible to compete with me within the scope of the
system.

I can't... I'm so lucky.

These combat components are usually in a different space created by a space

specialist.

When the need arises, they can be summoned from that other space.

It's not like I'm slacking off.

I don't know why I'm skipping, and I'm saving energy by not moving it.

It's not like I'm slacking off.

The corpses of mythical monsters and the like that have been defeated by
blood-sucking children are thrown into a different space where the splits are,
and the energy is replenished. When the energy accumulates above a certain
level, a new split is created. With such a cycle, we have slowly increased
the number of combat divisions.

I'm amazed that we've made it this far from the cute, palm-sized bodies we
had in the beginning.

Seriously, I couldn't do anything at first.

Continuity is power.

It's not guaranteed that you'll get better as you train like a skill, but I guess
hard work does pay off to some extent.

Well, there is another kind of split body, which is quite special.

The name of this alter ego is the system.

It's called the system-related branch.

You can guess by the name.

Well, in other words, it's an entity that does all kinds of things related to the
system.

My ultimate goal is to destroy the system and use the resulting energy to
rebuild the world.

To do that, I need to prepare carefully.

And in order to do that, we need to know every detail of the system.

It's a one-shot game with the fate of the world at stake.

It's best to be cautious and not too nervous.

That's why he hadn't cut any corners in the preparation phase, and had put a
lot of effort into researching the system. I've been busy enough with my job as
a corps commander, and with my division.

These were busy enough, but in fact, it was the research of this system that
took up most of my resources.

In fact, I've spent the majority of my resources on researching this system, to

the point where I've even created a special branch for research purposes.

That's why I had no time to rest!

Do you understand me, gentlemen?

I've been busy enough before I got so busy.

To that busy me! Who am I to tell you that you'll be even busier in the future?

Even if I knew the future, I'd say, "Yea, I can't do this anymore. ..........." If I
knew what the future held, I'd still say, "Yeah, I can't do this anymore.

Oh, isn't there such a thing because it's a different world here .............. I see
....... Blackoo.

Well, I decided to do it myself, so I'll do it ^

So, here's a report on the system we've found so far...

First of all, what is a system?

The System is a supermassive magic created by 0!

The main effect of the system is that it grants skills and status to living
creatures in this world, collects them after death, converts them into energy,
and uses that energy to regenerate the world^~.

It's too long!

It's one sentence, but it's three lines!

Imakita Sangyo!

Imahokita Sangyo! I'm still trying to summarize the main points and make it
easy to understand.

Well, the bottom line is that it's a form of magic that forces living creatures to
accumulate energy while they're alive, and then collects it after they die, just
like collecting a debt.

How to accumulate that energy ^ — I think that such game-like specifications

are a hobby of 〇 by training Gaskill and Ste-Tas.

The collected energy will be used to regenerate this world on the verge of
collapse.

In the first place, it seems that the reason why the world had to rely on such a
system was because people in this world in ancient times made a fool of it.

Ask contraindications for the details of the process.

I'm a god and I'm going to get that service.

I divinized the service and cancelled it, though!

I'm glad I did, because it was annoying as hell.

Well, aside from the contraindications, it seems that ancient humans have
done something to quench the energy of this world, and the goddess has been
sacrificed to fill the gap.

I don't know the details either.

I don't think I need to know.

I don't think I need to know, because I think it would only make me sick.

If you look at the black people and the Pope, including the Demon King who
knew about it at the time, you can see that something terrible happened.

The fact that the creatures of this world can't escape the hellish chain of
events that occurs when they die and are reborn in the same world again
because their energy is retracted from them is also a sign of punishment,0.

I'd like to say don't involve us reincarnated people from earth in that
punishment, though!

So, back to the system, in addition to the basic functions of the system, there
are a few additional functions that are often added for fun by the 0.

That's almost all the game-like parts.

Skills, demons, etc.

You don't need skills, stats, levels, or anything like that if you just want
people to accumulate energy while they're alive.

You can always tell that these things are just for fun.

So what about the demons?

Even if skill is a play element, we have to fight because we have adopted the
specifications to store energy with it.

A monster was prepared as the opponent.

In the game, there is an enemy called "Kyara".

So, the system prepared the enemy, right?

But the system only prepared the demons in the beginning, and after that they
just multiplied on their own through natural reproduction.

It takes a lot of energy to create a demon, and it's better if it grows on its
own.

As a result, the current demons are the descendants of the demons created by
the system, and the plants and animals that originally inhabited this world
have adapted to the current environment, and those plants and animals have
been mixed together, and the number of species has increased to the point
where they are no longer classifiable.

The only thing the system is doing to the demons now is instinctively
imprinting them to attack humans.

It's annoying as hell to humans, but we have to fight them, so we can't help it.

Besides, demons are already part of the food chain, so we don't want them to
disappear now.

And besides demons, there are other specifications that make humans fight
each other.

That's the heroes and the Demon Lord.

The hero is a human.

The Demon Lord is a demon.

They'll lead their respective forces and fight each other.

It's a special title with a unique ability.

The hero has special effects against the Demon Lord and permission to use
the sword.
They also have the ability to show their strength in a tight spot.

The Demon Lord has no special effects on the heroes, but he does have
permission to use the Demon Lord Sword.

I feel that the hero is given preferential treatment, but this is a handicap given
because the demons tend to be stronger because the demons and humans have
different physical specifications and life spans.

Without this, it would be possible to compose a human race that would

continue to be overrun by one Demon King.

The problem is the special effect on the demon king that is given to the brave
heroes, so no matter how strong the demon king is, the brave heroes can fight
evenly.

But in order for the inferior heroes to catch up with the strong Demon Lord,
they have to add energy from somewhere.

In short, the true nature of the Demon Lord's special effect is to temporarily
increase power by taking energy from the system.

So, isn't the Demon King of this generation the strongest in history?

The average status is 90,000.

What happens when a hero fights against such a thing?

You're going to draw a tremendous amount of energy from the system for
nothing.

You can't waste energy like that when you want to save it.

I mean, the Demon King's body is usually dangerous if there is a hero, so

during the war, I killed the hero Julius and then interfered with the system in
order to abolish the specification itself of the hero.

The result was a failure, though.

I did a lot of research on the system and decided that it would work, but
apparently I was too naive.

I'll have to learn from this failure to understand the system better and get a
better grip on it.

And the most important thing to grasp the system is the ruler skill.

The Seven Deadly Sins Skill and the Seven Virtues Skill.

These skills are the keys to access the system.

If you have the Rulership skill, you can also establish the Rulership
Authority, which allows you to know from abstinence.

You can interfere with appraisals, run searches on the system, and so on.

But I don't recommend overusing these perks, because they will wear out
your soul.

It's okay if you're just trying to sabotage appraisals, though, because they're
almost never consumed.

It's a good thing that it's not too expensive.

I found out while investigating the system that you can use the ruler skill as a
key to do some behind-the-scenes stuff.

This is something that was not even in the list of things you can do when you
establish your privileges.

So if you don't know the system as well as I do, there's no way to know.

Let's do that ^ / Known back menu ^ —.

It was in there.

The system self-destruct program.

I knew it, or maybe it was just the evil 0 who thought of it, but there was a
way to get around it.

There is no choice but to laugh because it exists with instructions on how to

do it properly.

It makes me wonder what it was that I was storing energy in the table menu ^
—. Even I am so, so what kind of feelings do the Demon King and the Pope
actually have accumulated ........

It's a good thing that the demon king was happy to see a ray of sunshine when
he was about to give up on the idea that it might be hopeless.

I'm sure there are some people who wish they had known about this method
earlier.

Because if I had activated it right after the system was created, the world
would have been reborn.

We wouldn't have had to live, die, and pass energy through the surface menu
for such a long time.

There have been many tragedies throughout history, and I'm sure the Demon
Lord and the Pope have seen them all.

It's always hard to know that they might not have had to happen.

Well, you can't change the past, so no matter how much you think about it, it's
just a matter of time.

What I can do is not to change the tragedy of the past, but to make the best of
the future.

I'll leave it to Tamtraveler to change the tragedy of the past.

I don't even know if anyone can do that.

I don't even know if anyone can do that, but knowing how messed up 0 is, I'm
not surprised if they can.
At least I can't.

Rather than dwelling on what I can't do, I should do what I can.

Power, power, power.

There are things I can't do on my own.

That is to increase the number of people with dominant skills.

Rulership skills are key.

In fact, the system's back-up menu, the self-destruct program, requires the
keys of all the dominant skills to activate.

You need all the keys!

Yes, it's impossible.

Because some of the dominant skills are currently empty.

And to top it all off, there's one guy with the mastery skill who's definitely
not going to help us.

Potimus.

Why does he keep getting in our way everywhere we go?

The White Body is too much of a distraction.

You know how I felt the day I figured out how to activate this backdoor
menu?

I was at a loss!

But the great coach said that if you give up, the game is over.

I was wondering if there was anything I could do, so I decided to use a secret
technique.
Key, lock, open .......

Picking!

... If you're wondering what the hell you're talking about, that's you!

If you can't do it the right way, you'll have to do it the wrong way.

In the first place, the back menu itself is a trick, so it's okay to use more
tricks!

In fact, if you don't do that, you won't be able to get keys from all the
dominant skill holders.

In the meantime, I've identified and marked a few people who I think can get
me the dominant skill.

I decided to recruit them when I could.

The only ones on my side who already had the dominator skill were the
Demon King's ravenous appetite, the Vampire Boy's jealousy, and the Demon
Boy's rage.

These three.

Then I started watching, focusing on demon army commanders, celebrities of

the human race, and reincarnated people like us.

It's a big success for intelligence.

Soon after, Mera gained patience.

I was a little surprised.

Mera used to be just a normal person, right?

Even though she's had a checkered life, such as becoming a vampire, I never
thought she'd end up gaining the mastery skill.
I'm sure it's very hard to get the ruler skill.

After all, even the brave man Julius couldn't have it?

The hero who can be said to be the pinnacle of the human race does not have
such a rare skill.

...... It seems to be said what the guy who had four before deification and five
when he put in Yinchi said.

Speaking of which, it seems that Yasutomo is completely my own skill.

I got that when the appraisal and detection were struck, but the Demon King
who met the same conditions did not get wisdom.

The story went a wry.

Anyway, I tried my best.

You did a super job.

Keep up the good work.

Patience, patience...

Show me the power of a mere mortal.

I'm not a human now, I'm a vampire.

After that, Natsume did something to the human race, didn't he?

He had a grudge against Yamada-kun and tried to kill him.

Well, thanks to the teacher, it ended in an attempt.

In addition, the teacher used his dominant authority to remove Natsume's

skills. The fact that he used his dominant authority confirms that he too has
dominant skills.
And he has established his authority.

I'm sure Potimus told him how to establish his authority.

I'm sure he's established his authority as a matter of course.

The ruler skill you have is supposed to be the Seven Virtues of Helping
Hands.

That's the one I used to have.

When I got it, I got the title because I helped people and I got it as a bonus.

I don't know if my teacher got it at the same time or if he used a skill potion
to get it. Well, I guess it doesn't matter because the important thing is not how
he did it.

As long as Poteimus is around, the teacher can't do anything about it.

So, if the teacher has the dominant skill, it means that I have one less key to
use.

This is painful.

But there's nothing I can do about it.

It's impossible to collect all the keys from the start.

Well, you've been reckless, Sensei.

Erasing skills is one of the most soul-draining things you can do.

If it were normal, his soul would have been severely damaged, and he
himself would have lost his skills and his status would have dropped
drastically.

Ironically, it is thanks to Potimas that the teacher is safe.

A part of Poteimus' soul is parasitic on the teacher.

It's not just the teacher, it's all the elves.

Maybe that's the effect of Potemus' seven virtues skill, diligence.

You can take over a parasite and make it act as your alter ego.

Once the parasite is taken over, it can't be taken back.

In other words, he was practically being held hostage by Poteimus.

That was it.

This is where Natsume's outburst comes in.

He was supposed to use his dominant authority to drain his soul, but the soul
of Potemus, who was a parasite on him, took over the drain.

I'm sure Potemus didn't expect this either.

I'm sure he didn't expect this, but it weakened the soul of the parasite and
made it difficult for him to take over.

I'm still worried about the fact that just because it's more difficult doesn't
mean it's impossible.

I'm still worried, though. And that's not all.

And this incident was not only that, it was also a tailwind for me.

You've succeeded in soliciting Natsume-kun to this camp ......... What do you

mean by brainwashing?

It's all in your head.

There is no such thing as a brainwashing body that Satsuki did not introduce.

It's not like there's anything horrible about having a tiny spider the size of
your fingertip inside your brain.
Ma-ri-ma-u.

V ^ . V ^ , z.

Anyway, if I left it as it was, it would have run away again and this time it
would have been the execution course, and if that was the case, could I make
effective use of it?

And then I hit the jackpot and got two dominant skills, lust and greed.

It was a bargain.

You can use the brainwashing of lust to do all sorts of evil things, and I can
assure you that I made the right decision at the time!

Well, when I was trying to persuade Natsume to do the brainwashing... no!

When I was trying to persuade him, Yamada's sister saw me, which was an
unexpected incident.

The word came to my mind for a moment, but when I thought about it, I
remembered that it was as good as my sister Chiyan and the reincarnated
Yamada-kun.

I'm sure she'll be able to get the mastery skill.

So, why don't you cooperate with Yamada-kun instead of touching him? I
talked to him gently.

My sister, who is a bracon and loves Yamada-kun, was willing to accept the
threat, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Unfortunately, she didn't get the mastery skill, though.

Well, in return for helping me out with the little things, I promised to leave
Yamada-kun alone.

I don't.

I didn't promise that Natsume wouldn't do it.

I'm not breaking my promise.

I didn't break my promise.

I'm not breaking any promises. Well, all joking aside, as a reward for your
cooperation, I'm going to make sure you don't get caught in the aftermath of
the system collapse.

It was rather terrible to kill my real father.

I decided to have Natsume brainwash and force her to do it only at that time,
but it may be traumatic.

Then, use the power of Natsume-kun's brainwashing to brainwash the

reincarnated people Oshima-kun and Hasebe-san, and check if they have
acquired the ruler skill.

When I got it, I was going to take the key while I was brainwashing, but
unfortunately I didn't get it.

Yamada-kun had an appointment with his sister, so he didn't touch it.

There is also a case of heavenly blessing.

I was afraid that if I messed with her, it might lead to something weird.

It's a shame that Yamada-kun had mercy on me.

It would have been better if he had ignored his promise to his sister and just
taken the key from her. .......

Well, I can't say that it's gone.

Urushihara-san was also stuck to Yamada-kun, so I couldn't do anything about

it either.

So, that's what the reincarnated people who attend the school of the human
race are like.
The rest are reincarnated people Tagawa-kun and Kushiya-san who were in
the field, but these two were traveling around the country as adventurers, and
they were also fighting as they were.

As far as I saw it, I didn't seem to have acquired the ruler skill, so I just kept
watching, but at the time of the war, I collided with Mela, and after that, I
was guided by my teacher and went to the elf village.

It might have been stopped if I wanted to stop it, but at that point it was
unnatural for us to intervene, and because I was busy with post-war
processing, I just passed through.

Also, in fact, there is a reincarnated person called Kusama-kun at the Pope's

place, but Kusama-kun also doesn't have the ruler skill, so it's through.

picture? Kusama-kun's treatment is too light?

Kusama-kun can't be such a character.

The rest of the reincarnated people are all locked up in the elf village, and I
don't think they can get the ruler skill under such circumstances.

So, the current ruler skill holders are as follows.

Anger, demon.

Jealousy, bloodsucker.

Greed and lust, Natsume.

Binge eating, demon king.

Arrogance, laziness, vacancy.

Mercy, Yamada-kun.

Patience, Mera.

Diligence, Potimus.
Helping, Teacher.

Temperance, Pope.

Humility, Purity, Vacancy.

Of the fourteen, only six have the key.

Four are vacant, and four are in the possession of other camps.

I would have liked to get at least half of them, but I think that's about the
limit.

We'll just have to make do with picking them up.

And....

The difficulty of picking the key depends on the status of the dominant skill,
specifically, the difficulty is higher in the order of established authority,
unestablished authority, and vacant position.

While the vacancy seems to be unprotected and the key is dropped near the
keyway, if you have the ruler skill, the key will be carried around, so the
difficulty will be high.

In addition, if someone has established their authority, the keyhole will have
security measures installed on it.

Because of this difference in difficulty, I was able to detect that someone had
taken mercy on me.

In other words, the three most difficult things right now are diligence,
temperance, and helping others.

Next is mercy.

If we can manage these four, we can probably manage the four vacant
positions.
Diligence will be vacant since it will kill Poteimus later.

We'll have to pry it open after that.

Helping Hands will have a chance to persuade the teacher after killing
Potemus.

I don't know if he'll agree to that or not, but if there's a chance, we'd better
wait for it.

So, I'm going to hold out until I kill Poteimus, too.

Temperance can't be helped, isn't it?

I'll leave it here for a while.

Let's judge by looking at the situation after killing Poteimas.

When it comes to that, the highest priority is mercy.

It's better to open it before Yamada establishes the authority.

If Yamada-kun cancels the contraindication and cooperates with us, that's

fine, but if he doesn't, we'll be in trouble.

It's less dangerous to pry them open first.

And the remaining four vacant positions.

I've been trying to do this for a while now, but I don't think it's likely that
someone else will get the dominant skill if I keep trying.

Rather, it seems that the rate of being taken by someone who does not belong
to our camp is higher.

It is quite possible that even those who are likely to be in our camp will die
in the battle at the Elven Village.
Even those who already have ruler skills, such as blood-sucking cubs and
demons.

And if they die, the position of the ruler will become vacant again.

Before that happens, open the key as much as you have already reserved, and
keep it open.

"So, I'm going to go do that for a bit.

"Hmm. Can't you just leave that to the system-related entities as usual? .

Ho-Ren-So is important, so I report it to the Demon King before departure.

The place is in the spider carriage.

It's a luxurious vehicle in many ways, with a basket on the back of the
Arcturaralect.

"Muri. It's too risky to do such an important task at the same time while the
main body is somewhere else.

"I see.

Well, I can understand why the Demon Lord wants to keep me around.

It's an important time when the Demon King is about to fight Potimas.

I have the intelligence ability to detect enemy information quickly, I can rush
to anywhere by transfer, I have the power to dispatch each unit, I want to
keep me who is the best force in that camp How do you feel about it?

I'm afraid I'm too good for you.

I'm not too good.

What's wrong with this?

I'm afraid I'm too good for them.

I'm afraid I'm too good for that.

Four! It's 4-0!

You're thinking of something stupid again.

Don't be silly.

When you say that, it's usually when you've hit the nail on the head.

I'm sorry.

The Demon King exaggerates his shoulders.

Muu. Express your regret —

I'm going to sue the Demon Lord's Army, a company that's extremely black.

The president of the company, the Demon Lord, should pay me a fee
immediately.

For some reason, the Demon Lord took my hand and pulled me to him.

Oh?

When he was at his mercy, he lay down for some reason, and even the thread
that the Demon King put out was made into a muffled state, and the thread
became a cotton-like shape, and the whole body was wrapped with it.

Oh?

You'll have to go tomorrow. You'll sleep there today.

Sleep?

With this fluffy mind?

It looks so comfy...

What about dignity or so about sleeping in such a fancy style in the Demon
King's vehicle?

"You may not realize it, but you look really tired, White. Really?

"Really?

I guess it shows on your face.

I've been working too hard lately, as you can imagine.

Even God is tired because he has a physical body.

Did you overdo it?

"But I don't have much time ..."

"It's more dangerous to get tired and wander off and make mistakes.

That's a good point.

If you're tired, your performance will drop, so it's better to take a break to
improve your work efficiency ^-.

"Well, I'll take your word for it.

"Yes. Leave the body and other parts to the bare minimum, and let everything
else rest.

"Yeah... .

If you do that, you'll be temporarily shutting down the world's surveillance

network. ...... "Any response? .

".......

I don't know if this is a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.
This one's going to use force to put me to sleep as fast as it can.

"I know I'm relying on you. I also realize that I'm depending on you a lot."

"Hmm?" .

Somehow, the Demon King said with a look that he was falling into self-
loathing.

"So, you know. So, when I see that White is so tired, I want her to rest. I'd
like you to take a break.

"...... I'm doing this because I like it. Don't look at me like that.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I should say thank you in this situation.

I'm sorry.

"When I'm done, I want to say thank you one more time. So, please don't fall
down before that, okay?" .

"Redundant boss.

In that case, I'm going to bed!

I'm going to bed!

Good night.
 Interlude: Grandmother tends to her grandson's
overworked body.
He was sleeping peacefully.

It's been a long time since I've seen Shiro-chan sleeping defenselessly like
this.

In the first place, it is rare for a white child to sleep unprotected.

The only thing I know about him is that he lost his power right after he
became a deity.

Even in that period, in the early days, he was very cautious and would wake
up at the slightest hint of trouble.

Perhaps he began to trust us more and more, or perhaps he resigned himself

to the fact that there was nothing to be wary of since he had lost his power,
and he gradually began to sleep soundly.

It is said that the duke's mansion, where he was sleeping in the demon's
territory, was full of them.

However, this became less and less as I began to regain my strength.

From there, I completely stopped exposing my sleeping face to people.

I think it was after I decided to save the world of.

Then, one by one, Bai-Chian kept running without a break.

You really like to laze around. …

This way of being reminds me of the first generation of lazy Sui Dynasty
rulers.

handwriting.
The first ruler of laziness, who loved to laze around but died of exhaustion
from working so hard.

I could not do anything at that time.

I was much weaker than I am now.

I'm still relying on Bai-chan, and I can't say I'm doing anything about it.

You are inside the system.

There is not much I can do about things outside the system.

This is how I forced Bai-chan to sleep, at best.

That set my teeth on edge.

I want to help you.

Or rather, I feel as if I'm forcing all sorts of things on Bai-chan, who is

supposed to be an outsider, and it pains me.

It's not just the white children.

Sophia-chan and Lars-kun.

I'm not a reincarnated person, but Merazophis is.

They are willing to cooperate.

I think I'm blessed.

Maybe as much or more than the time when I was surrounded by the first
rulers.

At that time, I was just a weak being who was being protected.

But not now.

I became stronger.

So that we can fight, so that we can defeat Potimus.

I can't help Bai-chan.

But I'll do the best I can.

This is the least we can do to repay everyone who helps us.

And to succeed in all of this would be the greatest gratitude to everyone.

Master Sariel.

All of the original rulers who are no longer with us.

You'll see.

I will save this world with my own hands.

Always.

And, hopefully, I'll be able to celebrate it with Bai-chan and the others.

So, Bai-chan.

Don't be too reckless, okay?

 Work to fight the system.
I love sleeping on the ground.

Thanks to you, I'm all set.

It took away my fatigue.

"Good morning."

"Good morning."

Crawl out of the moxie.

"So, I'm going to go this time."

"Hmm. Oh, before you go, here."

Hmm?

The Demon Lord handed me something.

"… this."

"Don't you need it?"

What he handed me was definitely something I needed.

"Thank you. Thanks."

"It's you who are being helped. Don't worry about it."

But I'm sure this will make the work much easier.

"There's only so much I can do."

... That's the one thing you don't have to worry about.
The reason I wanted to save this world was for the sake of the Demon Lord.

"Well, I'm off."

"Go ahead. Be careful."

… What a conversation we just had, it was like family.

I was a little embarrassed.

I hurriedly executed the transfer to be clever.

What came to me was a mysterious space.

This is the heart of the system.

A huge magic circle with geometric patterns was spread out on the floor.

It also spread to the walls and ceiling, emitting a faint light that created a
fantastic scene.

And in the center of it all, a woman whose lower half of her body has melted
into space and disappeared, looking as if she were tied up in midair by the
magic circle.

Goddess Sariel.

As the core of the system, he was offered to this world as a sacrifice, an

important person whom the Demon Lord called "mother."

Your proficiency has reached a certain level.

"Experience has reached a certain level."

Your proficiency has reached a certain level.

And even though the goddess's mouth was not moving, her voice echoed like
a cacophony in this space.
A message from the system that theists revere as the voice of God.

I feel so uncomfortable when I come here.

What's more, every possible sight in this space makes me uncomfortable.

Perhaps it is the selfishness of the humans of the past that shows through, or
perhaps it is the goddess who is so adored by the demon king that he wants to
be saved, but she doesn't want to be.

Shaking his head lightly, he shook off the distraction.

I can see a white spider popping up in the fantastic space.

These are my system-related alter egos.

Its system-related components have already been stunned.

There are fourteen prominent magic circles on the wall, centered on the
Goddess.

That magic circle is the keyhole.

If you insert the key into it, you can unlock it.

First, you have to unlock the seven locks that are getting Ki^-.

I used the six keys that I had originally obtained and the new key that the
Demon Lord gave me on my way out.

So far, so good because I've unlocked it through legitimate procedures.

Here's the problem.

Move the system-related components and contact the magic circle

corresponding to the vacant ruler skill.

We'll start picking now.

"Anomaly detection."

But a sharp voice interrupted him.

It was clearly coming from the mouth of the goddess, unlike the cacophonous
voice from earlier.

"External interference confirmed. Activate defense mechanism."

... I knew this would happen.

The power gathered around the goddess.

The defense mechanism is triggered.

Well, what I do is like stealing, you know.

You can't help but invoke home secteurship.

I was expecting it to be like this.

I've already triggered this defense mechanism once.

It was during the Great War, when they tried to abolish the specification of
heroes.

Then, as now, the defense mechanism was triggered, and the system-related
entities that were trying to interfere with the system were physically
eliminated.

Thanks to this, I failed to get rid of the "brave" specification, and a new
brave Yamada-kun was born.

The reason I came here with the main body this time is to anticipate the
defense mechanism being triggered and to defeat it.

This is not something that can be done by a system-related entity without

combat capabilities.
A mass of energy gathered around the goddess, and they became a black
humanoid with substance. It was a pitch-black silhouette, barely recognizable
as a humanoid.

That's twelve people.

I wonder if this can be counted as a person.

Commence elimination.

While I was thinking about something unimportant, a group of figures began

to move at once under the goddess's issue. The figures quickly turned to face
me, and once they did, they spoke in rapid succession.

I took a half-step to the side, and a fist sliced through the wind right near my
face.

One of the figures approached me with great speed and punched me. It was
so fast!

That was super fast!

Vivita -----.

Oh, I'm scared.

I think I might have been a little careless.

Maybe I've become quite adept at using God's power, and I've become too
proud of it.

I can't believe I almost got hit by a phone punch with that obvious motion.

So, here I am again.

The same figure as Satsuki crashes into me again.

Far from sophisticated movements, the assault was crude and wild.
And yet, the sheer speed alone is a threat!

However, it is easy to avoid them because they just come at you in a straight
line.

We dodge to the side, just like Satsuki.

A figure passed by, and then a gong! After the figure had passed, a gong
sound passed by.

When sound comes after you, it means you are exceeding the speed of sound.

That figure must be faster than the Demon Lord if only in speed.

I was impressed, but then an invisible blade approached me.

Oops, that wasn't the only fast figure.

This is not a clue.

What was approaching me was a very thin thread that I could not catch
visually.

That's ten.

One of the shadows seemed to be manipulating a thread from each finger of

his hand.

Huh. You dare to challenge me to a contest with a thread?

You have no idea what you're getting into!

I'm going to avenge you!

So, I did the same, sending out strings from my fingers one by one, and
intercepted the strings of the human shadow.

Ha, ha, ha! That kind of thread cutting will put you at my feet, too, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh!
Even angle of frictional force^.

Stupid.

You're the kind of thread user who can go toe-to-toe with me.

They beat each other like whips, they check each other to stop each other
from twisting the strings, and they try to cut each other's strings.

It was a very evenly matched battle.

And just like that, a third speeding human shadow charges in!

Once you stop fighting with the string figures, keep your distance and escape.

Another figure suddenly appears behind me.

How long has this guy been here?

I didn't have time to turn around, so I fired a spear of darkness from my back.

It may not look like much, but magic can be fired from anywhere in the body!

Just when I thought I had been caught completely off guard by the counter^-,
the figure suddenly disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.

This time I've detected the presence properly and figured out the principle
behind its disappearance!

That shadow, it's making its own body into a mist, making it look as if it's
disappeared.

As proof of this, the fog gathered and formed another shadow.

What's with all the vampiric nonsense?

I'm sure the bloodsuckers could have done the same thing, though I don't
really do bloodsuckers or melas!
That's it.

The strings surrounded me with no way to escape, and they were closing in
to capture me.

A speeding figure skimmed by.

Chiyotsuto Tamma Tamma ^-.

I need to calm down for once!

Space blockade!

It blocks the space on all four sides, forming a barrier-like thing as if you
were inside a cubic box.
Because it blocks space, it is impossible to destroy it with either physical or
magical attacks.

In order to disarm it from the outside, you must be as familiar with spatial
magic as I am.

I mean, it's an almost invincible barrier.

However, the downside is that it completely blocks out sound and light, so I
can't even see what's going on outside.

For now, this will prevent the enemy from attacking us.

In the meantime, let's settle down a bit.

That the shadow of the defense mechanism is stronger than I thought.

It may have been my carelessness or pride, but even so, isn't it crazy that I've
been pushed to this point?

I'm still God, okay?

In terms of ability, it should already be considerably higher than the Arachne

era. …

My strength right now is spatial magic, so if you convert it into status, I'm
probably lower than the Demon Lord.

Even so, there should be about fifty or sixty thousand in status conversion.

What do you mean you can't handle it?

It's as if I'm dealing with a bunch of demon king class bad guys.

Yeah, the individual power is lower than the Demon King.

Is it a class of vampires or demons?

Yeah, that makes sense.

That's the Twelve ….

Moreover, so far we have only been able to confirm the abilities of three of
them: the Speed Human Shadow, the Thread Human Shadow, and the Fog
Human Shadow. The other nine, we don't even know what they are yet.

Considering the fact that the first three are so unique, the remaining nine can't
all be mass-produced in the same way.

You should think that you have some kind of shaky ability.

That's what I call a defense mechanism to protect the system.

I don't have a feeling of hopelessness, but I think I'm going to have a harder
time than I thought.

Okay!

I've calmed down a lot.

Let's get back into the swing of things.

(at sentence-end, falling tone) indicates a confident conclusion.

...: ''For now, it's too dangerous to deactivate the barrier as it is, so I'll use
the transfer to fly directly to a remote location outside the barrier.

I am released from the silent space where there is no light at all.

And the first thing that jumped out at me was, wow, what a huge crowd …

The black silhouetted beasts swarmed around me, obscuring the cubic space
blocking box I was in until I reached Satsuki.

I didn't see anything like that until Satsuki. …….

Where did you come up with …?

But then, there it was, the cause.

One of the shadows was creating a pokey beast.

It's him.

If we leave him alone, the beast will come back endlessly. ………? I think
we need to take it down as a top priority.

And before that ...

Develop a wall of space blockage in front.

A spidery figure crashes into it.

If the same thing were to happen over and over again in such a short period
of time, no matter how fast you are, you will be crushed. If it had been a
normal wall, some of the impact would have been absorbed by the wall, but
a space barrier is not a physical wall, it is a blockage of space.

When you collide, all the impact of the collision bounces back to the person
you hit.

Suhi ^ ~ De human figure is powerful ^ / Kind of re ^ ^.

First, one person.

When I thought it was …, a light flew from a shadow behind me and hit the
speeding figure.

I get up with a shadow of a man.

Geez. Is there a healer? ….

If it has a way to heal, then it's going to be troublesome for it to heal if it

doesn't destroy that healer丨- shadow. The summoner shadow and the healer
shadow are summoning a beast.

I guess these two should be the priority to defeat, but which one should I
destroy first?
I think I'm a healer.

Even if the summoner attacks first, it's useless if the healer is healed by the
shadow.

Healer must die. No mercy.

So, while dodging the resurrected Speed Man Shadow, Thread Man Shadow,
Fog Man Shadow, and the swarm of beasts that came at me all at once, I
aimed at the Healer丨< Shadow.

If you don't try too hard to fight them with strings, you can get past them.

If you pay close attention to the mist, you can see the moment it appears.

Satsuki couldn't handle it because she was suddenly attacked at the same time
on her first try, but it's not so bad once the seed is broken.

The beast that is always there is no big deal.

Or rather, it's a weak word.

You can even wipe them out with the dark magic that Kotsuchi distributes as
a check.

Compared to the strength of the human shadows, it is far inferior.

I guess that's why the summoner's shadow is able to summon an unlimited

number of people.

They pop up as soon as you defeat them, and it's just annoying.

Moreover, they are strangely well coordinated.

This was probably due to the figure next to the summoned figure who was
pointing at us and giving us some instructions with his hand gestures.

Is it a command ability?
It's not just that, they might be buffing their abilities as well.

The commanding figure is giving orders to the other figures, including the
beast, and they are likely to attack in tandem.

He's a bit of a pain in the ass, too.

However, first of all, Hi ^ — La ^ — a figure ^ ~

Taking advantage of the intermittent beasts and spidery figures that attacked
me, I shot my dark spear at the figures.

The spear of darkness advanced towards the healer figure and was guarded
by another figure standing in front of the healer figure.

A figure with a shield.

I can't believe you prevented my magic from working. …

These shadows are pretty strong.

I'm sure one of them alone is strong enough to be the equivalent of a mythical
demon with a status of 10,000.

There are twelve of them, and if they're strong enough to stay within the
system, they're pretty tough to beat.

Jiya?

If you're a Demon Lord, you can get by with .......

Is the solo hard even for the Demon King?

I wonder how it used to be if I brought a subordinate of a doll spider or

something.

Even the Demon King is like that, so it's usually impossible to capture.

I'll do it.
Well, I'll do it!

The shadow of a healer will be cut in half.

It's a space blocker that sliced through the healer's shadow.

It's impossible to physically defend against it since it's blocking space.

The only way to deal with it is to resist it with a spatial ability equal to or
greater than mine, or to avoid it.

But I'm pretty confident in my spatial ability, and even if I avoid it, there's no
warning, so it's extremely difficult to detect and avoid it in advance.

Well, in other words, it's an unreasonable attack of almost instant death when
activated.

This time, I'm alone.

... But then...

Healer丨<< A plump looking figure rushed to the shadow and shined a light
on it.

And then, the shadow came back to life as if it had no power at all.

Oi...

I didn't know you could revive people too.

And you're not the same person as the shadow?

I didn't hear that.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Just because it's the system's central defense mechanism doesn't mean it
should have resuscitation, which is one of the top things you shouldn't do in
this world.
I mean, in this world, you have to die to recover energy, so resuscitation is
taboo.

It's not against the rules, but it's against etiquette.

It's not right for the system to violate that mana^- violation, isn't it? The only
skill that can revive you is the mercy that Yamada has.

It's going to break the balance of Gate-5.

Is it appropriate to think of it as a penalty for violators from the operation?

Is it a mercy that I'm not immediately banned?

I'm sure the power of 0 will be enough to wipe me out in an instant.

If you don't have that, it means you're still skimping on this difficulty level.

And if they're cutting corners, that means they're still trying to get you to
attack.

I think you're making a big mistake in adjusting the difficulty level.

Or what?

Is it an unreasonable pretense to clear this much as 〇?

... It's possible, though.

He said that the world was stagnant and he was bored with it and neglected
it.

That means the people of this world were unable to reach the level required
by 0. As expected of an evil god.

If you impose an extreme level of difficulty on people, and if they can't meet
it, they'll lose interest and leave you alone.

Isn't that too selfish?

Well, I wonder if it's forgiven, or something that has the power to forgive.

In fact, I can't complain about it.

This is an example of how power is a bad pattern. ........ I think the reason
this world is in such dire straits is because of 0.

The difficulty level of clearing was too high because the required level of 〇
was too high.:….

Then, I can understand that even if the Demon King or the Pope are working
hard, they are not rewarded. When I think about it, I'm crazy, right?

Why should the Demon King have a hard time because of the unreasonable
pretense of the rotten outer road?

I mean, I'm having a hard time now!

Cut off the speed figure by blocking the space.

However, immediately after that, he was forced to devote himself to

avoidance due to the onslaught of thread and fog figures and countless beasts.
And while devoting himself to avoidance, the speed figure is revived by the
revived figure.

This is what I've been doing since a while ago.

I've killed the Speed Shadow the most times, but I've also killed the Thread
Shadow and the Fog Shadow several times. But each time, I'm resurrected.

If you kill instantly by blocking the space, the resurrected figure is in charge
of recovery, and if you make a mistake and you cannot die instantly, the
healer figure is in charge of recovery.

Thanks to that, I feel like I'm hitting a mogura all at once.

Apparently, it seems that only the revived shadow can be used, and the
healer-
The revived figure is thoroughly protected by another figure.

A shield figure and a barrier figure were guarded by two people.

If it is a space block, there may be a tank, but regardless of that, only the
target can be killed.

It was supposed to be ......, but in reality, it had been dealt with.

How do you prevent spatial blockage, which allows you to strike an instant
death attack without regard to distance or the opponent's defenses?

In principle, it's the same as the magic blocking effect that dragons have.

The magic-inhibiting effect of dragon scales and skills belonging to the

barrier system interferes with the construction of magic and reduces the
effect.

So, this construction is actually the same with magic.

Theoretically, any skill that can interfere with magic can also interfere with
my magic.

Theoretically, any skill that can interfere with magic can also interfere with
my magic, though it requires a lot of power to do so.

You have to interfere with the construction of my magic, you know.

I'm a former magician who used to have a mastery of magic.

Even though magic has changed to sorcery, its power has not diminished.
......... It should be. And yet, it's being thwarted.

Shield figure and barrier figure.

The shield figure is holding the shield in an easy-to-understand manner, and

the barrier figure is also developing a translucent barrier-like thing that is
easy to understand.
This barrier is the barrier, which may be blocking my magic.

However, it is unlikely that my magic is being invalidated by the power of

only one person, so it seems that the shield figure also has a disturbing effect.

In other words, it's a matter of two people working together to crush this
magic.

I'm very good at spatial magic, and I can activate it without even thinking
about it, but the technique is very advanced and delicate.

It's no wonder I can't get past the two of you!

I can't help it. I'll see what I can do.

In fact, spatial magic, by its very nature, has its starting point in space.

If the starting point for the activation is within the jamming range, the
construction will be disassembled as soon as you try to activate it, so it is
more vulnerable to jamming than other magic.

So, if you're talking about sniping with magic from a distance, that's no good
either.

You can see that the power of the spear is greatly reduced the moment it hits
the ward, and it vanishes into thin air when it collides with the shield of the
human shadow in front of it.

No.1.

These guys are very good at jamming.

That's as much as a bloodsucker, isn't it?

Thanks to his title as the Jealous Ruler, the blood-sucking vixen has canned
Tenrin, the highest level skill in the scale family that dragons possess.

Well, I mean, it's the top of the line for magic jamming skills.
From the looks of it, the jamming abilities of the shield and warding human
shadows are comparable to that of the bloodsucking child.

In fact, don't we even have more than that when it comes to warding?

What a pain in the ass.

What is it with these guys, really? ….

Seriously, if each of you were normal, you'd be a fierce one-hit wonder. …

It's funny that there are twelve such people in the world. …

I'm getting tired of it.

Spi^-rd figure, Ito figure, fog figure, summoning figure, commanding figure,
ヒ^-ラ^- figure, Su Sheng figure, shield figure, boundary figure.

Now there are nine.

As for the other three, one of them was still standing in front of the goddess,
not moving.

The other two are chasing around my system-related alter ego.

One of them seems to have some kind of ability, and as far as I can tell, he's
using magic of all attributes to attack the fleeing system-related entities.

In addition, there were multiple weapons floating in the air, as if they were
telekinetic, and they were not consistent, such as swords, axes, and spears.

But the fact that it's floating all the way up means it's usable.

You're so versatile.

And the other one doesn't really understand this.

I know there's something set up in the minutes, but I've resisted everything.
I know that I'm under an invisible attack, but I don't know the details.

I can honestly ignore it because it's perfectly resisted and crappy.

But looking at the power of the other shadows, I have a feeling that if I hadn't
been able to resist, I would have been in a bad situation.

I don't think it's something that would kill you instantly or anything like that,
though, since they went to the trouble of targeting the alter instead of me, the
main body.

Is it possible for you to die instantly?

The strategy is to start with the weakest looking body.

But it's not working ^~.

If so, I think it would be better if you came to join us in the fight against the
enemy.

Just as I was thinking that, the commanding figure gave me some kind of hand
gesture to get me to come over here. Hmmm.

I couldn't tell what it was made of, but if it's the body, can you analyze it?

The mysterious figure who was dealing with the altered body came towards
us. … What is this guy doing?

For some reason, a mysterious figure decides on a strange pose.

A mysterious pose where mystery calls for mystery.

I wonder if he's trying to be cool. ….....?

I don't know what it looks like because of its black silhouette, but it looks
like it might wink at me or something.

At the same time, a mysterious attack was launched at the alter, but it was
easily resisted.
Hmmm, n1 ….

How am I supposed to react to this?

I don't like it when they suddenly throw in a gag element into a battle that's
been going on for so long. ....

The mysterious figure changes its pose.

What? How am I really supposed to react to this?

If there's some kind of invisible attack flying around, then there must be a
meaning to that posing. …

I'll try to analyze the mysterious attack.

I'm trying to figure out the identity of the invisible attack that is flying from
the mysterious human shadow.

… Oh.

This is a mesmerizing attack.

It's like you're trying to charm them into doing your bidding.

So, that posing was a cool pose. …

I guess it's to make the charm attack more effective.

But I'm a spider, so cross-species romance is a bit ….

And I'm still a god.

God is a complete individual creature, so frankly speaking, there is no need

for reproduction.

But then again, I rarely die.

Reproduction is the process of passing on one's genes to future generations,
right?

However, gods don't have a life span of eight years, and they rarely die, so
even if they don't reproduce, they keep their genes intact.

And romantic feelings are directly related to reproduction, and attraction is

an abnormal state that appeals to romantic feelings. And attraction is an
abnormality that appeals to romantic feelings.

Well, I mean, it's not going to work for God. …….

In Earth's mythology, there are lots of rather sloppy daytime drama

developments.

That's it.

At any rate, it's not my business.

I'm sure it would work on different species as well, since it was placed on a
spider-like body, but it was a bad idea.

I mean, even if I did have those feelings, it's not like I'd fall in love with a
dark silhouette of a person taking a cool po.

If it had looked like a woman, it might have been a better picture, but it's just
a shadow of a man, so it's a very shifty scene!

If you're in the middle of a fight and you suddenly strike a cool pose, that's a
pretty cool picture.

After that, the enigmatic figure tried his best to strike a pose and finally
started dancing, but it didn't work on me. …

The sight of one person alone, playing show and tell, is rather melancholy.

... At any rate, it won't do any harm, so leave it alone.

The multi-talented human shadow that is chasing around the altered body is
also left alone because it won't come to us while chasing the altered body.

A system-related entity with no combat ability can't escape the attacks of the
multi-talented human shadow. However, there are many system-related
entities, and even if you can't escape, you can buy some time by avoiding
them.

It will take some time for the division to be wiped out.

If we can defeat the other shadows before then, we will be in a better

position to fight. Well, in order to do that, we'll have to deal with the revived
shadows.

In order to manage the revived figure, we have to manage the shield figure
and the barrier figure. In order to manage the shield figure and the barrier
figure, you have to get closer because the attack from a long distance and the
humor are not revealed, but the speed figure, the thread figure, and the fog
figure get in the way. That's why.

If you want to get rid of the three of them first, you will be revived by a
reviving human shadow,….

Going around in circles.

It's a fucking game, man!

Of the three men serving as the vanguard, the speed figures were not much to
look at.

My speed is impressive, but I'm not the kind of person who can fall behind
someone who can only come at me in a straight line.

The problem was the other two.

The shadows of the threaded people are very ^^^^^^ to do.

He manipulates ten threads and attacks at will.

What's more, even if you sneak into the blind spot, you will calmly deal with
it as it used to be with your eyes behind it. In the first place, the black
silhouette of the figure has eyes on it. The question is that the eyes are closed,
and at least the other figures are moving their faces to try to see this, so the
vision is normal. I think it's like a human being.

The only thing that's special is the shadow of a thread.

It seems that this is the only one that has the ability to sense things without
relying on sight.

And yet, the only way to attack it is with a very thin thread that is difficult to
see.

It's so Iya! It's so Iya!

And I'll beat him head on! If you stand in front of it, something will fly at you.

An attack as invisible as a mesmerizing human shadow.

Perhaps it's the evil eye, or the evil eye, or whatever it is, but I think it's the
kind of ability that can be activated by looking with your eyes.

Whenever you are in the shadow of a string person, you feel like you are
losing energy little by little.

Perhaps the evil eye of Ju-On.

The evil eye of Ju-On is just? or ^? It's an effect that lowers your status while
reducing the amount of.

As a result of becoming a deity, I lost those statuses, but instead of those

statuses, I seem to have directly reduced my internal energy^-.

The amount of loss is so small that the damage is negligible, but that doesn't
make it any less pleasant.

I naturally and unconsciously take actions to escape from the sight of the
threadbare figures, and this has the adverse effect of making it easier for them
to read my actions.

The damage is minimal, so you can just ignore it, and I actually try to do that,
but I still tend to avoid them unconsciously.

It's so Iya! It's so Iya!

And this thing avoids space blockers!

I think it's because they have the ability to sense things without relying on
sight, and they can read the slightest signs and avoid them.

This is why you can't just trigger it without thinking about it and kill it.

You have to mix it up with faint and other attacks.

If you do that, you will have to make an extra move, which will give your
opponent more time to make that move.

Sometimes he can withstand a space blockage.

I don't know how it works, but it works even when you're in a state where it's
absolutely lethal, right? I don't know what the principle is, but it works even
when you're in a state where it's absolutely lethal.

In that case, it's not the resurrecting human shadow, but the healer human
shadow's recovery from a distance that will bring you back to life, which is
extremely annoying.

She avoids space blockers, and even when she's hit, there are times when she
can withstand them.

However, if you leave them alone, they will attack you mercilessly with their
threads and evil eyes.

It's disgusting! It's so disgusting!

Very hard to do.

Strong is strong, but it's a type of strength I've never seen before.

In general, the strongest guys are usually the ones that are easy to understand.
It's rare to find a guy who's not only strong, but also good.

If you're a low-status person, there are probably some people who are good
at that type of thing, but if you're a high status person, it's quicker to push the
strengths of that status. It's like when a martial arts expert challenges an
Aegis ship, there's nothing he can do.

If we're going to do that, we might as well get ourselves an Aegis ship.

It's a rare thing to be an Aegis-class warrior and a martial arts master at the
same time.

... I don't know what I'm talking about.

By the way, Kirihitokage is the type who just pushes his strength against the
good thread figure.

A surprise attack from the atomization.

Attack by transforming into a giant wolf.

A punching bag left to the high status.

An attack with dark magic.

It's a reckless assault that relies on sturdiness and self-regeneration.

If the Itohinkage is the type that fights with human skills, the Kirihinkage is
the type that fights with violence as a monster.

It's a monster, or rather a vampire.

Her fighting style is much different from that of the vampire Tsutsumi and
Mera, but I recognize many of her abilities.
Vampires and Mela are all strong in a fighting style that is close to humans,
but this fog figure is a purely strong type as a vampire.

It's more like a standard vampire.

If you're a vampire, you're a standard.

In terms of being a humanoid monster, it's probably closer to a demon king

than a vampire or a mera.

It's a tyranny of status and skill, but it's a tyranny.

Although he is far inferior to the Itohinkage in terms of skill, his simple

strength more than makes up for it.

It's a bit tricky being a vampire, so I don't think simple strength is quite the
same thing.

Strong anyway.

While the Thread Shadow sometimes survives being blocked out of space by
a mysterious daring ability, the Fog Shadow sometimes survives being
blocked out of space as well.

In our case, it's simply because our life force and regeneration are so
outstanding, and there doesn't seem to be any trick to it!

How many times have you been cut in half and then regenerated by putting it
back together on your own?

If it wasn't for me, I wouldn't be able to handle it, let alone run into it
unguarded with that life force.

Well! That means I can handle this!

Even though he's strong, he's still a few steps below the Demon Lord, and
maybe even below the bloodsuckers.

Still, it's a threat enough for modern humans.

If it's just one person, there's plenty of time to deal with it.

The problem is that they work in tandem, and even if you can deal with the
Thread Shadow and the Fog Shadow on your own, it's tough to deal with two
of them together.

Moreover, in the intervals when I forgot about it, a speeding human figure
would rush into my path, so I had to be on my guard.

If you're concentrating on the string and fog figures, you'll forget about the
speed figures and they'll catch you off guard.

The beasts summoned by the endless summoner shadows are also subtly
annoying.

They don't count as a force, but there are so many of them that they disrupt
our concentration.

Like a fly buzzing around in front of me.

It's just too depressing.

There is no way to break through all at once, so time just slips away.

However, it's not like I'm going to get hit.

Even though we are strong, the basic specs are too different between me and
the human shadow.

I'm at the mercy of a team of shadows, and they're buying time, but they don't
have the decisive factor to take me down.

In addition to being able to run from place to place by shifting, I have the
strongest defense wall of space blockage, so it is difficult for the shadows to
hurt me.

I'm not saying it's impossible.

Well, if you are injured, you can regenerate as much as you want as long as
your energy is not depleted. After all, I was the one with the immortality
skill.

Even now that my skills no longer guarantee that, I still remember the feeling
I had when I was immortal. How can I not die even if I am only a head?

How can we regenerate from that?

He also said that he has already figured out how to do it and is trying to
reproduce it.

So it's not like I'm going to die even if I'm torn to pieces.

": 0-."

Very well.

It's cheap if you don't die. If we win, it's all good!

So, unfortunately, unless the shadows have a more hidden gem, they will not
be able to defeat me.

Well, as for me, I can actually just defeat the shadows.

What's your excuse for letting the battle drag on for so long? You're the one
who thought that!

It's not like I'm the one who's wasting my time!

It's true that you can only defeat a shadow.

I just don't know what will happen when I do it, so I can't put it into action.

Well, I mean, this is the heart of the system, a very important place, and you
can't do anything spectacular like wipe out the shadows. That's what
……….... means. I'm afraid that if I do that, it will give the system a weird
error~ and power^.
The worst that can happen is that the goddesses here will be blown up, the
system will crash and be shut down, or worse, the world will be destroyed!

And that's normal.

It's so cool.

It's impossible to come to this point and have such a bad ending.

So the response must inevitably be a cautious one.

I had to get rid of the shadows without damaging either the system or the
goddess. That's why I rejected the idea of using a wide area, high-powered
attack that would wipe out the shadows, since it would inevitably involve the
goddess and the system.

Even if I narrowed down the range, for example, if I increased the power of
the Dark Spear and unleashed it, it would penetrate through the shadows to
the wall behind them, which would result in a system malfunction.

The reason why I've been using the space blocker so much is because it's the
one with the most killing power and can only attack the targeted area.

If there were no restrictions on the system or on not hurting the goddess, there
would be more ways to do it. …

No. 1.

This feeling of time passing in vain.

There's so little movement that I'm fighting while watching a live broadcast
of Yamada's group exploring the Erlow Labyrinth ^-.

It's not like I can afford to mess with it just to look at it, though.

It's a contradiction in terms.

It's like we both have a thousand suns.

In fact, several days, if not a thousand, have already passed since the battle
began. Yamada's group is making steady progress through the Erlo^-------1^
labyrinth, and I'm stuck here without a single shadow to defeat.

Thanks to this, we were unable to sabotage Yamada's group.

I don't believe this is because of Heaven's blessings.

Don't let me interfere with such a long battle.

... You're right, that's too much to think about.

I'm the one who decided to ask the system for help with this timing.

Don't blame the blessings of heaven for everything.

However, I'm sure it's a convenient turn of events for Yamada-kun and his
friends.

Huh, no. One.

I'd like to make some kind of move soon.

丨Um.

These guys are the ones who don't run out of breath ...

Normally, if you keep fighting for a long time, you will run out of breath at
some point.

You run out of energy or magic.

Even I am no exception to this, and it is impossible to keep fighting forever.

I have a lot of reserves, and I try to consume as little as possible, so I can

fight for such a long time.

There's also the restriction that you can't do big moves, so you're forced to
cut corners.
As for the human shadow in contrast, it seems like he's just going all out and
being serious.

Spi^-ed shadows and ^^ exactly like that.

Engine full throttle.

He has been running at full speed with no such forethought for several days
now.

Considering the high level of ability of the shadows, they could probably
fight with all their might for a whole day.

But it won't be possible for a few days, as expected.

I'm sure I'm out of breath.

If that's not the case, then it's safe to assume that these guys are getting
unlimited backup from the system.

That's why ^? and 5? are always at full strength.

The only reason I was in it for the long haul was because I was waiting for
the shadows to run out of steam, but once I realized that it didn't look like
they would, I had to change course.

We have to get out of this stalemate, even if we have to force it a little.

The number of system-related entities has also been reduced considerably by

the multi-talented human shadow.

If all the system-related entities are wiped out, the multi-talented human
shadow will join the attack.

If that would cause me to collapse, it wouldn't, but it would still be more

trouble than it is now.

Also, there's another reason to hurry the game.

The fact that the shadows are backed up by the system means that they are
being replenished with energy by the system.

In other words, the more you fight, the less energy you have stored in your
system.

The amount of energy used by the shadows in this battle is not that much, but
even a small amount can be reduced.

We've gone to a lot of trouble to start a war, and a lot of people have died,
and the energy we've recovered will be reduced.

That's not good.

It is an energy that has been built up over many sacrifices.

I couldn't waste my time here, could I?

So, let's hurry up and settle this.

... but what's wrong?

We can just wipe out the shadows, you know.

The only problem was that I had to do it without damaging the system or the
goddess.

The first idea is to wipe out the system and the goddess with a wide range of
high firepower techniques, hoping that they won't get hurt.

Rejected.

It's too risky to surrender yourself to a prayer project that has a lot of
uncertainty when you can see the worst case scenario (the world will die out
if you make a mistake).

Does the system break so easily? I have some doubts about it, but the
goddess, Ho, has already lost her lower body and is on the verge of
becoming profitable, creating an atmosphere.
He seems to be weak enough that he could be hit by a stray bullet and die in a
hurry.

If I had killed him for such an insignificant reason, I wouldn't be able to face
the Demon Lord.

Proposal 2, increase the output of this attack little by little, and kill the
revived figure at the stage where it exceeds the defense of the shield figure
and the barrier figure.

This idea looks pretty realistic, but it's rather difficult to do, isn't it?

Witchcraft and magic are quite similar.

In fact, magic is a part of a huge magic system called a system.

In that sense, magic is a part of witchcraft.

Magic, like magic, has a structure, a blueprint for magic. The magic is
activated by creating a technique according to this construction and
channeling energy into it.

This construction is like a blueprint, and the power is predetermined in it.

If you want to increase the size of a building, you can't just increase the scale
of the blueprint and expect the building to work.

If we make the building bigger, we have to change the size of the pillars and
the materials.

In the same way, if you want to increase the power of your magic
construction, you have to modify it.

The same can be said for magic, but I was able to adjust the power of the
magic with the correction of the ultimate in magic.

However, now that I don't have the ultimate in magic, I have to make these
adjustments myself.
This is also difficult.

I wouldn't say it's easy to just let go of a construction that I've already
completed, but I've gotten a lot better at it over the past few years.

When you build something, it's like a blueprint.

The process of creating the same thing and applying energy to it in the same
way will become more precise and faster with repeated practice.

It's like assembling a gun that's been disassembled into parts, setting the
bullets, and pulling the trigger.

If it's a gun, it's similar in that the power is constant.

A good analogy for me.

If you want to increase the power of the gun, you have to rethink the structure
of the gun itself from the beginning.

To be honest, it's super tedious.

Well, we can tweak the power a little bit, can't we?

But there's still a bit to go.

As long as you don't know how much of the opponent's defense you can break
through, you have to adjust the power very carefully.

Now I can only adjust the power roughly, like a pistol, then a rifle, then a
bazooka, then a wave motion gun.

That's what happens when you change the magic in your hand.

If we were to do this, we would have to increase the power of the dark spear
little by little, but that would be like increasing the amount of gunpowder in a
pistol bullet little by little.

It's definitely going to go off somewhere. …

Calling it power, changing magic is like changing a pistol to a rifle.

As a result of shooting through it with a rifle, it was overpowered and went

through the goddess behind it together. …

Kana If you take the time to remake the construction of the dark spear and try
it, it seems that it will not be necessary, but how long will it take ...........

Yeah, it's dismissed.

Plan 3, summon a battle alter.

If I summoned my battle division here, I could eradicate the shadows with the
violence of numbers.

The other side has twelve people, but we can prepare a lot more than that, so
we should be able to win.

This method is the most reliable and easiest way to destroy the shadows.

There are two areas of concern.

For one thing, due to my capacity, I have to temporarily stall the intelligence
component in order to move the combat component.

No matter how good I am, there is a limit to the number of minutes I can
move at a time.

So, for every minute that we move the combat component, we have to
temporarily stop the intelligence component.

Some of the system-related components have been taken over by the multi-
talented human shadow, though, so there's room for more.

In addition, if we can eliminate the shadows in a short period of time, there

will be less time for the intelligence division to be stalled.

The intelligence units to be stomped were selected from those in charge of

areas where it would not be a problem even if they were not being watched,
so this problem was not that big of a problem.

If anything, it's the other concern that might be in trouble.

But this may be a groundless fear, right?

You may be wondering what I'm talking about, but I'm suspecting something.

If we send reinforcements to our side, they will increase theirs, right? I

thought.

Because, you know, human shadows are completely mass-produced in

appearance, right?

The shadows that are actually fighting have their own unique abilities, but if
you just look at them, you won't be able to tell much of a difference.

I can tell by the plumpness of the reanimated human figures and such.

With such a mass-producible look, how can you be sure you won't get a
second helping?

How can we be sure that the trigger isn't our own, or in their eyes, enemy
reinforcements?

It is a basic principle in warfare to increase your forces to match the number

of enemies.

I'm afraid to try and summon just one of the minutes, but when I think about
the fact that the moment I summon it, my opponent doubles to twenty-four, I'm
afraid to even try it.

If I'm overthinking it and this is the end of the stock of human shadows, that's
fine.

However, the creator of this defense mechanism is that 0. …

It's no wonder that anything can happen.

I think that kind of trust in a bad way is outstanding.

The worst thing that could happen to me would be to have five of my

divisional army members full of shadows or ….

What kind of hellscape is this? ….

But of all the ideas I put forth, this is the most realistic, and it's also the
easiest way to win without replenishing the shadows ^ -0.

. -//1/, Ts--, Ts. --\fnDroid Sans Fallback 0.

There's no way I can get out of this situation by worrying about it, so why
don't I just try summoning an alter? It may have been a mistake to worry too
much, but before I knew it, a speedy figure was almost upon me.

Oh, no.

This is a direct hit course.

At that moment, I thrust out my arm as quickly as I could, a reflex action that I
really didn't think about. It was a reflex action without thinking.

But the shock I was prepared for didn't come, and instead I felt a weight on
my outstretched hand, as if I was holding something.

^....

It's more like a white scythe.

Oh, by the way, there you have it, ….

This white scythe, made from the scythe of my paws before I became a deity,
was infused with some of the energy of the bomb that was said to have the
power to blow up the continent when I became a deity.

This scythe, which can be said to have been divinized with me, using parts of
my body.
I don't know if it's because of this, but sometimes they ignore my intentions
and do things on their own.

Whenever I do something wrong, it's usually with the help of someone like
you. I'm sure he has a sense of self independent of me, but it's not my
imagination, is it?

Even now, he's giving off an air of "duh! You're giving off an air of
smugness."

Well, no wonder you do.

He showed up at the right moment, saved me from a jam, and blew away a
speeding shadow.

Yeah. ….

It was a speeding shadow that was running into me, and it blew up. …

There is no trace of …..

That's because this scythe originally had a corrosive attribute.

The corrosive attribute is an extremely dangerous attribute that kills you

instantly and leaves no trace of your body.

It's the kind of attribute that even the brave Julius can't resist and is killed
instantly.

It seems that if you were to catch such a thing, even a shadow of a person
would not be able to stop you.

And there were no new figures.

Were the scythe summons not counted as reinforcements, or were the

shadows never replenished?

I don't know which one it is, but now that I have the means to kill my enemies
instantly, I don't need to bother summoning an alter ego.
So, I'm going to use the scythe to slice and dice.

Go straight for the foggy human shadow.

Wielding a scythe.

The mist human shadow may have decided that it was too dangerous to take
the scythe's blow, and tried to escape by turning into mist. Hahahaha!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

The fog, or fine particles, would make most attacks impossible to hit.

The corrosive attribute is an instant death blow to begin with, you know?

It doesn't matter how small the pieces are, if you touch them, death will
invade your body.

The scythe sliced through the atomized mist human shadow and dispersed it
as it was.

Oh, man.

丨I have a lot of weapons.

I haven't used it in a while because it's a bit overpowered, but this scythe is
really strong.

I think I'll be able to get cracking if I do this.

Next is the shadow of a thread.

Ten threads were coming at me.

But I'm a thread user.

I know how to attack with thread.

It's not hard to deal with.

In fact, if you use a scythe, you can blow away the thread with it.

He blows up the thread and fleshes out the human shadow.

Immediately after I felt that Itojin was staring at me, I felt a slight discomfort
in my body.

It looks like … has been done something.

I've been resisting.

He easily resists the evil eye, which is probably the last gasp of the thread
human shadow, and slams his scythe into it.

If that shadow had the evil eye of corruption, maybe he would have had a
hard time with it.

If you use the evil eye of decay, the sorcerer will probably die from the
recoil, but he can be revived by a resurrected human shadow.

Then, it was not surprising that the evil eye of decay would cause me to self-
destruct, revive, and self-destruct again.

If that had happened, I think I would have been in danger.

And this scythe proves the horror of the corrosive attribute.

Well, now the vanguard is wiped out.

Just as I was thinking about the rest of the rearguard, a multi-talented shadow
switched targets and attacked me.

Firing magic wildly, the multicolored weapons floating in the air attacked
independently.

However, although the number of moves is large, the power of each move is
inexplicably low.

It's kind of a sham, isn't it?

He lightly dodged flying magic and weapons, and cut down the main body of
the multi-talented human shadow with his scythe.

The multi-talented shadow's body disintegrated immediately after it was cut

in half.

I'm sorry.

Isn't the struggle until Satsuki a lie?

Super pleasant ….

I've been fighting for a long time and I'm pretty stressed out too.

The exhilaration of slaughtering an opponent with this one blow^.

It's addictive. ------.

Now it's time for the next one to come to life! You!

I take aim and start running.

The shield and ward shadows stand in the way, but I don't care!

1 flash, two flashes.

This is the only way to eliminate the shield and warding figures.

All that was left was a stick figure of a revived man.

You've given me a lot of trouble!

Ha-ha-ha. Hello, death!

He swung his scythe down.

Another shadow pushes the resurrected figure away.

It was a mesmerizing figure that had been doing a solo show with a cool pose
for a long time for no reason.

He risked his life to protect the resurrected figure.

You've been of no use to me up to this point, but you showed your manhood at
the last minute.

Well, I'm going to use the return blade to slash the resurrected human figure,
too.

horrible.

Is it bad?

It's sad, but it's war, isn't it?

Enemy soldiers must be mercilessly slaughtered.

All that remained was the healer figure, the summoner figure, the commander
figure, and the last figure who hadn't moved from in front of the goddess for a
long time.

All of the figures except for the last one are stuck in one place, so I guess I'll
take care of those three first.

And before I could move, the last figure that had been immobile for so long
moved.

After picking up the scythe, I was in an easygoing mood, but I regained my

composure.

Somehow, I feel that this last figure should not be caught off guard.

The last figure raises his hand in front of him.

I felt a tingling sensation stinging my skin.

Oh, this is a seriously bad one: ….

I brace myself.

And a ray of light from the hand of the last figure!

Oh, my God!

This is a very dense mass of energy.

^ / It was me when I was there /: I'm sorry

Avoid...

If I dodge, I'll hit the wall behind me!

Then the system will also include the name -------.

You're the defense mechanism of the system, don't attack it in a way that
could damage it.

I am prepared to intercept the rays of light.

He held his scythe in front of him and sliced through the rays with its blade.

I felt a heavy recoil in my hand as I held the scythe.

The corrosive power of the scythe and the power of the rays of light repel
each other, canceling out each other's power.

I put all my strength into my hands to keep the scythe from being blown away
by the recoil.

minute^minute.

How much energy are you putting into this scythe, if it can compete with the
power it possesses!

Aren't you a little too different from the other figures?

Oh no, my hands are numb.

I've reached my limit! Just as I was about to reach my limit, the rays stopped.

Ha-^, that was helpful.

If the ray had lasted even one second longer, the scythe would have fallen out
of my hand. If that had happened, I would have been hit directly by the ray
and my body would have been torn to pieces.

Watch out, watch out.

The last figure that finished emitting the beam of light fell down without even
taking a breath.

Its body is disappearing.

Did he put all of his energy, including his own body, into Satsuki's ray?

What a horrible thing to do. ….....

It's true that it's incredibly powerful, but it's literally a sacrifice of life for it.

If I move, I'll die, so I guess I couldn't move until I was ready.

In the sense that if you use it, you die, it's the same as a corrosive attack, but
if you're converting your body into energy and shooting it out, you're also
consuming your soul, right?

If so, it is more terrifying than the repercussions of a corrosive attack.

If your soul is gone, you can't be resurrected or even reincarnated.

If that's the blow you delivered, then it makes sense that I was so close to
getting it.

A blow that slaughters the opponent by giving everything you have.

That's what you can do when you're a non-human shadow.

If there is a human being who can do the same thing, I think he's a little crazy.
I got an unexpected blow, but there were three more.

There won't be any more hidden gems, so let's just get this over with.

So, I wiped out the swarm of summoned shadow beasts that were attacking
me and defeated the summoned shadow.

There was nothing I could do about the healer and commander shadows on
their own, so I quickly defeated them as well. The long battle against the
human shadow was finally over.

We will proceed to hack into the system with the surviving system-related
entities.

Because of the multi-talented human shadow, the number of system-related

entities has been reduced considerably.

I'll have to replenish it.

I'd like to replenish it right away, but my first priority is to pry open the key.

Carefully picking and prying open the closed key.

No interference.

I was actually concerned that if I wiped out all the shadows, they would be
replenished, but my fears were unfounded.

Apparently, the defense mechanism will be silenced once the shadow is

defeated.

If that were the case, it would have been okay to summon a battle alter ego.

Well, there's no point in talking about the past.

After all, thanks to the scythe, we were able to win without summoning the
alter.
I wonder if I should have used this when I took on the brave Julius?

...... Yeah, at that time, I couldn't forgive the situation, and I think that was the
correct answer.

It was a blow from my evil eye of corruption that killed the brave Julius.

This scythe-like instant death attack.

It is a ridiculous ability that can instantly kill an opponent just by looking at

them.

But the cost is quite high.

My eyeballs are currently damaged.

The damage is so deep that even with my regenerative abilities, it will not
heal easily.

I can use clairvoyance and farsightedness, but I'd rather not use the evil eye.

It's not that I can't use the evil eye, but it slows down the healing process. I'm
already feeling pretty good, so even if I use the evil eye, I'll probably be
completely healed by the time we get to the elf village, but there's nothing
wrong with resting.

That's why I didn't use the evil eye in the fight against the figures. He was so
afraid of being a hero that he had to make sure to kill him at such a price.

It has the potential to kill not only the demon king, who is the target of the
special effects, but also even me, who is a god, because I have a heroic
sword.

It really hurts to not be able to waste a heroic sword against a queen-sized

body.

The brave sword was given to him by Hylins because he said he was going
to dispose of it, but somehow it ended up hanging on Yamada-kun's waist.
And, yes, that one?

Hylins gave it to Reston, the third prince, saying that it was the will of Julius
the hero, and Reston also gave it to Yamada-kun in accordance with the will
of Julius the hero.

Reston kept his promise that he wouldn't say anything about the brave sword
of the brave Julius, and even when he handed it over to Yamada-kun, he
couldn't explain it.

Reston is, well, good.

But Hi-Lince, what the hell are you doing handing out super dangerous stuff
to strangers!

It works on me and your body, too.

I don't know what I was thinking. -------.

Is that also the effect of heavenly blessing? Mouth:

I hope that the most powerful weapon will once again be in the hands of
Yamada-kun.

Ha - stupid.

That's not possible.

If that's really the case, we'll have a theory of universal blessings.

I don't know what Harrys intentions are, but thanks to him, the danger of
carelessly giving Yamada-kun a little nudge has gone up a notch.

Maybe that's what they were aiming for.

Maybe he's trying to keep me from doing something weird to Yamada-kun

and the others.
Well, I've already buried Julius the Brave with my own hands, so I'm not
surprised if they're wary of me.

If we could get rid of the brave specifications in the first place, we wouldn't
have to go through all this trouble.

Once the work was done, he left it completely in the hands of the system-
related entities and walked over to the Goddess.

Your proficiency has reached a certain level.

"Experience has reached a certain level."

Your proficiency has reached a certain level.

The voice of the goddess is echoing intermittently in this space, though her
mouth is not moving.

From here, system messages such as "level up" and "skill up" are sent to
individuals all over the world.

Flat voice notifications with no sense of emotion.

That's why I used to think that goddesses had their feelings and thoughts taken
away from them while they were bound to the system, and that they were
complete pillars of humanity.

But maybe... ...zeros.

I open my eyes and stare into the face of the Goddess.

When I killed Julius the Brave, the system-related entities here were attacked
by the shadows of the defense mechanism, just as they were this time.

The system-related division without fighting ability should be able to

compete with the figures ^^ By the time I rushed to the main body, the next
hero had already been appointed, and the operation to abolish the
specification of hero failed.
After the failure, there was no reason to persist any longer, so we withdrew
with all the system-related components.

And then, after confirming that the shadow had been lifted, he returned the
system-related component. There was no sense of discomfort in this
sequence of events.

If it had been pre-set as a defense mechanism for the system, the reaction
would make sense.

But there's something that's really bugging me.

It's Yamada-kun.

It is too good to be true that Yamada-kun has been certified as the new hero.

A reincarnated person, who has the exceptional skill of blessing the heavens,
and is the younger brother of Julius, the former hero. Indeed, it feels like I've
become a hero as much as possible.

It is a fact that Yamada-kun became a brave man, and the Demon King's camp
has been put through a lot of hardships that no one wants.

No one could be more suited to be a hero.

But is that really true?

The reason I ask this question is because I had heard about the successive
years of the appointment of the heroes and the demon king.

When a hero or a demon king dies, the title is passed on to someone else and
the next generation is born, but the timing is not right after the hero or the
demon king dies.

There is a slight time lag, and during that time, the system is said to be
scrutinizing people who are suitable to be the next generation of heroes and
demon kings.
Because of that slight time lag, the Demon Lord was able to use his ruling
authority to refuse to assume the office of Demon Lord until now, and in this
generation, he was able to approve and assume the office of Demon Lord.

In other words, the demon king had at least had time to choose.

In Yamada's case, however, there was no time for that.

I know this because I killed the brave Julius with my own hands, and I was
also watching Yamada-kun through his alter ego.

It was almost the same time that Julius died and Yamada-kun became a hero.

The time rug that used to be there is now gone.

This makes me think that someone had decided to make Yamada-kun the next
generation of heroes.

Who it is.

There are two candidates.

D or this goddess--.

I hope it's 0.

If he's that funny, he'll make Yamada-kun the hero just because he seems
interesting.

But what if the culprit isn't 0?

Then I'll be a bit unforgiving.

He thrusts his fist toward the face of the goddess.

However, I stopped myself right in front of it and stopped it.

... That's not what I've decided.

I don't think it's possible for this goddess to trample on the feelings of the
demon king, who is trying to save her with all his might, and make Yamada-
kun a hero.

Oh, I really hope that's not the case.

Only for a goddess, you know.

I withdrew my hand and turned my back to the goddess and left the place in
transition.
 Interlude ???
An unknown place.

A vast space.

There was a woman there.

The woman was gone, leaving only a part of her upper body, and most of her
body seemed to melt into the space. It was too painful a sight.

And the words were mumbled mechanically from his mouth.

Your proficiency has reached a certain level.

"Experience has reached a certain level."

Your proficiency has reached a certain level.

"Painful."

I jumped to my feet.

...a dream.
 Final Chapter: Work to destroy the elves
I didn't want to stay there, so I just ran out without thinking about it.

Well, it seems that the work itself can be left to the system-related
components, so it's not a problem.

Or rather, I have to leave it to you. …….

It's going to take me quite a while to pry the key out of the lock. …

I may have been a little underestimated.

Well, even without the main unit, the work efficiency would be a little worse,
so we can leave the system-related parts to the system and slowly unlock the
keys over time.

After all, we have a big job ahead of us.

"It's finally here."

The Demon Lord dazzles as he looks ahead with a purr.

The demon army disguised as the imperial army was marching ahead, and
although it was still in the distance, I could already begin to see their
destination.

A vast forest.

Garam Great Forest.

That's the forest where the elves' village is located in the backcountry.

The regular Imperial troops ahead of us have already stepped into the forest.

The Imperial troops are slowing down due to the fact that they are cutting
down trees to make the march easier.
So, it is calculated that the demon army will be able to catch up with the
imperial army in a little while.

And about the time we catch up, we should arrive at the elf village.

It's time.

Finally, it was time to settle things with Potemus.

In the end, Yamada-kun and the others made it without any problems and
entered the elf village.

How the uncertain Yamada-kun and his friends will come out will change the
flow of the story. But I can tell you this.

"I guess Poteimus is done for."

"Hmm. I guess so."

The Demon Lord smiles while ministering to my words.

"Oh, let's end this. Let's end this long, really long affair."

"Yeah."

Now, the first step to saving the world.

Let's get rid of the malignant tumor called Poteimus, which has been parasitic
in this world for a long time.

"Come on, let's go."

"Hmm."
 Afterword
How are you guys doing, Le: I'm doing great!

So, I'm doing well. I'm O Baba.

Volume 13.

The number 13 has an ominous impression, and this year has turned out to be
just such a year. …

In my case, it was not a big problem because I am a writer and I can work
from home.

Fortunately, no one in my family is infected, and although it is not peaceful,

we are getting by.

However, although I can write, it's hard to say that it doesn't affect me at all,
and in some places it does.

The bookstores in my neighborhood also refrained from doing business.

……....

Since this is unprecedented, the entire industry is still in a state of limbo.

Well, all I can do is try my best to write.

I hope that my book will bring you good health and I will do my best.

Thank you from here.

I would like to thank Mr. Ryuji Teru for his wonderful illustrations again.

I'm in this situation, but no, it's precisely because I'm in this situation that I'm
healed by looking at Mr. Teruryu's illustrations.

The illustrations by Mr. Teruryu make me want to do my best.

Mr. Asahiro Kakashi is the author of the manga version.

When I see the main character in the manga version trying his best,
sometimes comically, sometimes seriously, it inspires me to do my best too.

Gratinbird-sensei, who has been working on the spin-off comic.

Seeing the four sisters' silly gags makes me laugh, smile, and feel happy.

I'm going to try to make you feel the same way in my book …, can you do it
…, can you do this?

... I can't duplicate the sense of style of Dr. Gratinbird!

And to all the people who are involved in the production of the animation.

Many people are involved in the production of animation, and I think that
makes it very difficult to deal with the aftermath of Corona.

The fact that these people are doing their best makes me feel like I should do
my best too.

And while we're on the subject of anime, here's a big announcement!

The anime will be aired for two consecutive weeks from January 2009.

It was originally supposed to air sometime in 2020, but it was postponed to

2021 due to something called Corona: …….. 0.

Due to a number of reasons, it will have to wait until next year, but please
wait for it to air!

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Ms. Kai in charge and all the
people who helped to make this book a reality.

To all those who have picked up this book.

Thank you very much.

Missing Skill: "Overshadowed."

IV.

In fact, the guild staff with the legendary.

Assassins: Electronic Special Trial Version (Book: Ken Noji, Illustrations:

Hinkai Shaku 2).

Roran, the strongest assassin in the world, assassinated the worst demon king
of all time by himself and was called a legend. He has the power to surpass
even the bravest of heroes, and as a reward after his battle, he wishes to live
a "normal life" --------------------------.
Roran has been working for an adventurer's guild in order to live a normal
life, but he has been living as an assassin, and his thoughts are far from the
common sense of the world. He uses the demon king as his errand boy, makes
the heroes cry, brings the lord to his knees, and wields a talent that is not
ordinary.

One last mission.

"That's the best way to get Roland to work!"

The brave Armeria said, a smile blooming on her tired face.

We, a party of heroes, proceeded through the Demon King's castle and had a
strategy meeting in an empty warehouse.

We were almost to the audience hall where the demon king was said to be.

A brief overview of the operation is a brave man and a mage, a great priest,
a paladin ------------- everyone who has traveled together so far attracts the
demon king. I take advantage of the characteristics of the "shadowless" skill
to kill the Demon King. That was the only strategy.

"Armeria, that's what you're supposed to do."

You're a brave man. Why are you trying to be a supporter? ^You're trying to
play a role.

"It's okay. This is the strategy that seems to have the highest success rate."

Everyone else was unanimously in favor of the plan.

I'm a great attractor for ….

"No offense, but Roland is the best."

In terms of individual strength, it would certainly be true. I understand the

logic behind it, but:....
By the time we got here, everyone had exhausted their physical and magical
energy.

There was even a sense of sadness in the air, partly because of the fatigue in
the air.

If we don't do something, someone's going to die.

These are still the friends I've been traveling with.

I want to finish this journey without missing a single person.

It's usually a noisy break time, but everyone is talking very little.

Maybe he has something on his mind, or maybe he's ready to make a

decision.

Let me get out of your seat.

He activates his "Shadowy" skill and tries to leave the warehouse where he
is resting.

"Loran, where are you going?"

Armeria found me easily. Her voice drew everyone's attention.

My "overshadowing" skill is just that, overshadowing my awareness of

myself.

It is not possible to become invisible or to completely eliminate the presence

of others.

In a world where everyone was given a skill, it was an outlier, a huge outlier.

"Seven days and ten nights."

"A little something goes to ..... What?"

"This is Toilet. Do you want to follow me?"

"Momo, please finish 3 ^ — I don't feel nervous at such times.

A brave party that is also a group of girls around her age.

I don't know what Armeria imagined, but her face turned red and she shooed
me away with her hand.

"I'll be right back."

I searched for signs, and after confirming that everything was okay, I left the
warehouse.

I have no intention of going back, and I don't think I'll ever see Kitsu again.

We will finish the journey without missing anyone.

That's my mission.

If we face the Demon Lord like that, someone will die.

"… Now, time to get to work."

The top floor of the Demon King's castle was eerily quiet.

At the end of a long, long corridor, there is a large, opulent door with poor
taste.

... There or 0.

I didn't go there, but went out the window in the hallway.

He flew to the terrace about two floors below and landed quietly.

You find a demon knight who is also a guard. He pulls out the dagger at his
waist.

Covering his mouth with his hand, he rips out the demon knight's throat.

He gently laid down his enemy, who had lost his strength.
Due to the structure of the building, the audience hall where the Demon Lord
is located can only be entered from the front.

That's what my friends and I thought.

However, when I checked the internal drawing I got, there was one thing that
I could get through.

I would go with this lu丨^, I explained to everyone in front of the internal

drawing.

"Such an acrobatic I-I can't do it against a pair," Almeria said.

'Yeah, I think so too,' said Elvi, the holy knight. You're just afraid of heights.

"... looks fun ..." said Mage Lina. Stop it because you have no motor nerves.
"Pupu, Pupu. To fight the Demon King, he fell to death, or Pupu. It's a gag,
"said Serafin, the great priest, holding back laughter.

... And, well, that's the exchange we had during Satsuki's strategy meeting.

And they move soundlessly from shadow to shadow, mouthing the spire...""

Fair and square is what a brave man does.

I'm going to take you by surprise, fair and square.

Grasping the rope, I ran along the steeple wall, gaining momentum as I flew.

During the audience with the Demon King -------- I reached the window of
the absolutely impossible invasion route. Inhale slowly and exhale slowly.

I put magic power into my index finger and poked the window glass.

He broke through the strong magical warding at one point and simultaneously
punched a hole in the window pane.

Point attacks are effective against defensive wards that are deployed on the
surface.
I unlocked the door and jumped inside.

Right behind the throne.

"We have an interesting guest."

As expected of the Demon King. My visit was spotted in an instant.

I get up from my seat, releasing the evil magic. I faced the Demon Lord
squarely.

He wore an ostentatious cloak and looked at Kotsuchi with slitted eyes.

Long, flaming red hair and blood-red eyes.

She was a beautiful demoness.

No words are exchanged.

Activate the skill ---- and kill this guy with all your might.

As soon as I move, the Demon Lord unleashes a magic like black lightning.

It was the first time I had seen this magic, but I had no trouble avoiding it.

Because we're shooting in the wrong place.

"Hmm...?"

The Demon Lord noticed something strange.

But the power is as good as it gets.

It breaks through the magical wards and blows up the walls with a roar.

If it had hit me, there wouldn't have been any dust left.

The second shot was also fired at a completely different location.

This was another misguided attack in the wrong direction.

I---also power ----丨.

Ever since a while ago, I've been repeatedly turning my 'shadowing' skill on
and off.

Skills are not inherently something that can be switched instantly, but the
lighting s.

I was able to use it on and off.

They were right in front of you, but then they disappeared. Then, just as you
think you've seen him, he's right in front of you at ------------------. If you
repeat this quickly and alternately, they will become confused.

The more you scramble to catch it in your sights, the more you get stuck in the
doldrums.

I didn't even move a step.

In complete confusion, all living things are like this.

"Wise …丨."

The Demon Lord began to get irritated.

Magic power, magic technology, magic sense, and those combat abilities are
certainly outstanding.

Daga--〇.

"… Demon Lord, when was the last time you fought?"

The king does not fight so easily.

I've never even heard of him showing up at the front.

The blank was fatal against me, who had always fought the enemy and
sharpened my senses.
However, my skill is an outlier skill, "Overshadowed", which does not make
me a hero.

But in other words, an outlier skill is a skill that no one uses.

So an outlier skill is also a skill that no one knows how to deal with. Use
idiot and something, -------.

Creative work.

Just by doing that, an outlier skill becomes the "strongest skill" that no one
else can imitate.

"You've never seen my skills before, have you?"

Reacting to the voice, the Demon Lord turned around and attacked with a
dark-colored long sword hardened with magical power.

I turned on my skills, and I was no longer there.

"Tsk, where's -----?"

"It's right in front of you. Right in front of you."

The moment he faced the front, he thrust his dagger between the Demon
Lord's eyes.

This is a dagger that even a child can buy if he saves up enough pocket
money. The price is 1,700 rin.

I didn't need a special weapon.

A weapon is just a tool.

Yourself is the greatest and best weapon. ---------.

As an assassin, I was taught that this was the ideal.

"It's time to admit defeat to the … mistress. The demon king's army will be
reduced and then disbanded. I'll tell the rest of them to retreat so they don't
harm the humans."

The Demon Lord fell to his knees.

"That's not what I'm talking about."

Even if this guy really tries to dismantle the Demon Lord's army and prevent
it from harming humans, as long as the banner of the Demon Lord lives on,
it's as if the seeds of war are always there.

It's my mission to protect the brave partiers and assassinate the demon king. -
--------.

You can't just abandon it.

"If there's anything left to say, let's hear it."

When I said this, the nodding Demon Lord looked up.

He looked relieved.

He seemed to be saying that the burden he had been carrying could soon be
lifted.

So, I guess I was prepared for it.

I killed the Demon Lord.

The mission is now complete.

I walked out the front door and left the Demon King's Castle alone.

Thus, the assassin who defeated the Demon Lord, who was called the
strongest, became a legend without being noticed.

2 Report at the Royal Castle.

"---So, the Demon Lord is no more."

The King's private chambers.

After defeating the Demon King, I was reporting to my client, King

Randolph.

"Oh! Oh, -------, you did a good job!"

King Randolph is a middle-aged man, a little over 40 years old, not a hard
man or a fool.

"No way, the Demon King, who was said to be the strongest and worst in
history, was slammed ..." "The report alone may sound slammed, Without the
Almerias, I wouldn't even be able to reach the Demon Castle. "

When it comes to one-on-one strength, I'm probably the best, but when it
comes to one-on-many strength, Armeria the Brave and Lena the Mage are
stronger. My ability has too little firepower.

Serafin, the High Priestess, is surprisingly smart, and Elvi, the Holy Knight,
has been protecting everyone as a wall and showing the way with her sense
of justice.

I think we were a good team that made use of everyone's individual

characteristics.

"I still can't believe I asked you to do this, but the fact that you single-
handedly defeated the Demon King still boggles my mind. "Assassins
specialize in one-on-one combat. That's all I'm saying.""

I don't know about other assassins, but my assassination techniques aren't

designed for one versus more.

I was just taught it, and I had to figure it out on my own.

Brave men, wizards, and other professions train themselves for various
situations, but assassins do not. Assassins wait for, or create, specific
situations, and aim for opportunities where they can kill with certainty. That
is the job of an assassin.

"Did you use some kind of special skill?"

"No, nothing."

The only thing I can use is 'shadowy'. I can't say that I'm special. It's more of
an outlier skill.

I can use some magic, but against a demon king, that's nothing more than
child's play.

Direct, attack. Defensive. Recovery. It seems that the general perception is

that strengthening skills are hit-or-miss skills -----------------, depending on
the degree. When I was with the party, I heard it from many places.

Certainly, if used by a normal person, my skills would not disappear or

become invisible, just off-skill that inhibits recognition for a few moments.

However, as you build up your assassination skills, physical abilities, and

combat experience, you will start to see these outlier skills in a different
light.

After realizing the synergy between assassination techniques, I think I spent

my days struggling with how to utilize my skills.

"The assassination of the Demon Lord was the result of your past efforts, I
suppose."

"It's not that big of a deal. It's just that I needed it to live …."

"Such a humble man."

"It's true."

"No, I've heard reports from Armeria and the others individually. I've heard
reports from Armeria and the others individually that things didn't go so well
with the Hebo party, but since Roland joined them, their fighting ability and
coordination has improved dramatically."

"You're buying too much."

"That's not true. In fact, he managed to defeat the Demon King, which was
said to be impossible. And he did it alone. It's not only Armeria, but also the
Holy Knight Elvi, the High Mage Leena, and the High Priestess Serafin, who
have all said the same thing. If it weren't for Roland, they wouldn't have even
been able to reach the Demon King's Castle."

"I guess it's a two-way street, …."

"You don't claim credit very well, do you? You will be known as a legendary
assassin for defeating the Demon Lord. You are truly a legend."

"Give me a break. The two names are too heavy. It's not my style, and I don't
want people to know it."

"All right, I'll have them prepare the feast. You may spend some time in the
castle."

"I'll refrain. It's just that 'it was the brave Armeria and her friends who
defeated the Demon King' --------------, isn't it?" The light of the world is too
bright for a shady guy like me.

"Indeed, that's what I said in my original request. …"

The request from King Randolph was, in a nutshell, to help the hero party and
assassinate the Demon Lord.

However, there was also a request to pretend that it was the heroes who
defeated the demon king.

"Felind, first princess of the kingdom of Felind, and brave warrior, Armeria.
Felindo. I'm sure you've heard of her. Isn't that right, father?"

"You're missing a lot of talent, Roland."

That's right", I chuckled at King Randolph's pro-Bahrain comment."

I agree with you about the talent.

The Kingdom of Felindo will be attracting attention from countries all over
the world and will have a stronger political voice in other countries.

I thought that was the reason why I asked for the assassination of the Demon
King and the amulets of the Almerias, but ... maybe I was simply worried
about her daughter.

"But, Roland. But Roland, it would be a disservice to the royal family of

Felindo to let a legendary assassin leave empty-handed. Is there anything you
want? I can get you the most beautiful woman in the world. If you want
money, tell me how much you want. If you want a house, I will have it ready
at once."

"Hope …."

I have very little memory of my childhood.

However, I was raised by a master who took my place as a parent, and I

honed that skill to become an assassin.

I don't even know his real name.

I have no idea what to hope for.

"It's easy to know how to kill someone, but when it comes to what you want,
you have no idea."

I've killed demons and people countless times.

"Huh."

King Randolph, who raised his voice, waited for me.

"You said she was a beauty, but not Almeria. Armeria. She's only sixteen.
She's not old enough to be married."
It would not be unusual for a sixteen year old princess to be engaged to some
prince, but I guess she has no intention of marrying him off. Even if she
doesn't, I'm sure there are plenty of men out there who would love to be her
son-in-law.

Mmm", growled King Randolph, crossing his arms."

"I'm …, but if you, Roland …, want Armeria to be your wife, then …丨. This
Randolph, I'm going to send him away ---------- with tears of blood."

"No, I don't want Armeria."

"You don't want it?"

King Randolph is deeply relieved.

He's a pretty likable king.

"But when people say they don't want it, it's kind of annoying. …"

She's not satisfied with my statement that she doesn't need Armeria.

Armeria's name reminded me of that.

When was the last time you heard Armeria say that she wanted to live a
normal life?

What is normal, we wondered, but no one could tell us.

In the first place, no one had ever lived a "normal life".

All I know about my life is the days of training with my master deep in the
mountains and the days of this assassination business.

Maybe this is not normal.

"… normal-life."

"Hmm? What's wrong with that?"

"I want to live a normal life. I want to live a normal life, not as an assassin,
but as a normal, ordinary human being."

I didn't have to kill people or demons to get paid.

You don't need to fool anyone to be at peace.

You don't have to worry about someone betraying you.

"Is that what you want? Would you like to spend your days squirming around
with a few beautiful women? "Don't you dare compare me to King Randolph.

"What do you mean? Making babies is one of my noble tasks."

King Randolph, jokingly, looked indignant.

"Oh well. I think I understand how difficult it is to have a normal life. If there
is anything that you need in order to lead that 'normal life', let me prepare it
for you."

The reward in the first place was to get everything you wanted.

I took the money, thinking that I would need it for living expenses for the time
being, and received about 100,000 rin.

Will it be enough? King Randolph wondered.

"That's enough. Thank you. Thank you."

"What do I say? Thanks to you too."

King Randolph and I shook hands firmly.

Crunchy. Crunch, crunch, crunch.

There was a scratching sound on the door outside, and a black cat came
through the slightly open gap.

"The Cat…? A stray cat wandered in …? No, you're wearing a collar."

Miyao", the black cat purred."

I stroked the head of a black cat that came close to my feet and tickled its
throat.

"Loran, if you ever need anything else: …."

I shake my head and interrupt him.

"Stop. It's your job to make the world a place where there's no 'something' to
ask me to do."

King Randolph chuckled.

"Yes, I suppose so. Let's hope we never see each other again, especially as
enemies. Especially as enemies."

"Don't worry. I'm going to have a normal life and I'm never going to see the
king again."

With that, I left the king's private chambers.

The black cat followed me.

She squealed, "Miyao, Miyao", and began scratching her collar with her hind
legs.

"All right, all right."

A collar, a type of magical tool.

It was a pretty rare item, but I'm glad I had it.

When I touched the collar and let the magic flow, the black cat glowed faintly
and transformed itself into a human form.

"The cat form is a tight squeeze."

I brushed my red hair off my shoulders with my hand.

Her name is Riley La. Dayakitep.

She told me to call her Lila because her real name was too long.

"Well, you'll get used to it."

"If you listen to what the legendary man who defeated the … demon king
wants to do with his mistress, you will find that he is a … crazy man who
wants to live a normal life."

Lila giggled.

"What does a boring demon lord who was defeated by that crazy man in less
than ten minutes have to say?"

In addition to being able to change his appearance, the collar had an

inversely proportional effect of decreasing his power the higher the amount
of magic power he had.

It was an item that was meant to be used only against the Demon King, and
for Lila, it was probably the worst item she had.

If sold, it would have been enough to build a castle.

At that time, the Demon Lord died.

Leaving the fake corpse that Lila made in that audience room, I left the
Demon King's castle.

It's a masterpiece created with the best of my mistress' magic technology.

Even if the leaders of the demon king's army were still alive, they wouldn't
be able to see through it!

Lila was very confident.

As for the human side, I'm the only one who's ever seen the Demon Lord up
close.

Then he put on a collar that would never come off.

At that time, the existence of the Demon Lord died.

"You're a gentle man, aren't you?"

"The only reason I let you live is because I had no use for your collar. Even
if I sold it, it could be misused, and I don't need the money I get from selling
it."

You can live as a cat from now on. I said that and threw her out, but Lila
followed me on her own.

"I am still grateful to you for removing the collar of the Demon Lord."

Lila twisted her hand around my hand as she sang.

I don't know why they liked me so much.

"You're an assassin, but you're not very good at it. Mmm-hmm."

"Yeah, I know. That's why I'm taking a break from assassination work today."

"So where do we go from here?"

An excited-looking Laila hugs my arm and asks.

It was hard to walk, so I tried to shake it off, but it grabbed me tightly and
wouldn't let go.

It seems that even though she no longer has magic powers, she still has the
muscle strength of an average woman.

"I've decided. I'm going to an 'ordinary town,' not a city or a country."

"Also, the 'normal' … concubine is not at all thrilled with …."

"I'm not doing this to make you crazy."

The disgruntled Laila and I blended into the crowds of the royal capital.
