There are only four of us in a quiet cathedral where no one is anymore.

Speaking of changes, only the achievements of the Archbishop, who became red stained on the stage, and the necklace that fell on the floor.

It was once the status of the Red Salvation Society, which, like garbage... no, rather with previous resentment, had been slammed to the floor.

... all that leaping and driving others.

That's the end of it, from someone I've always believed in.

The word of the demon god is neither 'May Fly' nor 'Arrogant'. It's just a feeling that 'it's something you talk about a lot'.

I guess even killing is uninteresting to the person.

Turn to Civila.

It's unusual to be so silent.

Usually, I thought it was something that just moves... but is it something you don't know yet?

Emmy and Ashley are waiting to hear what Civila has to say.

"... I don't"

"Hmm, what?

Asking Civila back, Civila shrugged small as she turned a blind eye.

"I can't let you go to battle."

I couldn't understand Civila's answer for a moment.

... I'm not going, you say? Is that what Civila just answered?

"Is that a mistake? It sounded like you said you weren't coming to me."

"That's right. Russell, I can't let you do this to me."

Now I unequivocally assured you.

Both Emmy and Ashley open their eyes in amazement at things like incredible.

Honestly, maybe I have the same look.

Civila has moved at all times with the best results in mind for humanity.

I feel a responsibility that I don't have to bear, and I crusade even if it turns out to be a shadow of history.

At the same time, he is quite a child lover. That leaves no room for denial even thinking about what's been going on.

... I don't think I've come to this conclusion for any reason whatsoever from what Civila has said and done so far.

"Can I ask why"

'Cause that was definitely the Demon God.'

Demon God, the word… Indeed, Sibila said so the moment it appeared.

"Are you different from the Demon King?"

"Right. To put it plainly, the demon king is a civilian, and the demon god is royal. Naturally, you have the power."

That the Demon King is a civilian...? You have a name with a king, but you treat him well.

Ashley despairs of Civila's too extreme analogy.

"Well, Myra..."

"... this one will be wiped out before you come in to help. More likely than not, all the city dwellers will die where they helped"

"Why are you so afraid? The demon king would have been the same before."

Sibila turned her gaze to my clothes.

It's in that place...

"... this"

I'll take the Book of Goddesses out of my pocket.

It's what the Demon King had.

"Yes. We talked about it, didn't we, a passage? Here's what Myra was gathering everyone to read out. It is this land that has sealed its demons."

... what?

That this is the place where the demons were sealed in that passage?

"I couldn't remember because the terrain and the city had changed a lot, but it was around a little inland from the sea, so it certainly should have been near here. I mean --"

Once again, Civila looks at the ceiling.

"-- What just appeared was a demon god once confronted by the gods. It's like being written in the Book of Goddesses. It's not in people's hands."

Ashley, who heard the story, loses her powers and sits fluttered into a nearby chair.

I looked anxiously at this one, even as Emmy intervened.

Look into Civila's eyes.

... when not, it's a serious eye.

If you're taking a goddess and talking about a religious relationship, naturally I thought this might happen.

Still, I didn't think the enemies that were really in the battle of the gods would show up though.

Do you want me to spare you?

"It's a shame. We can't lose Russell."

I meant to tease you in half, but it's something you'll give back quite honestly.

It seems like it could bounce back normally.

Not so long ago, I guess the existence of a demon god is special.

"What are you gonna do with that demon god?"

"I'll call for help. Get a large number of high ranking crusaders."

Being of high rank, I guess some veterans are more used to fighting than I am.

I don't know what kind of handover Civila has, but I'm guessing there's someone I can count on.

"So, you can win"

"... I don't know"

Can't you be sure if you do that much?

Look into Civila's eyes.

Stand still and look at those red eyes.

... Speaking of which, you have red eyes instead of the Goddess of Night and Darkness.

In this Madera, we talked about the Book of the Goddess - a book compiled by the Sibilas - and therefore entrusted everything to Sibilas as they wanted to do.

Because of this, I think the various parts have worked.

Secrets of the opaque 'Red Relief Society', figuring out how it works from infiltration, various secrets strewn around the city from its purpose. I solved the mystery so fast that I didn't think I did it alone.

I wouldn't have made it this far on my own.

Sibilla was excellent.

That's enough to make me understand that I have a lot of things to do when I'm standing in line.

"Russell, this time we're done here. Red Society executives die and their men dismantle. I think that's enough."

Sibila was brainy.

That's how I always wonder if I can call this guy my partner.

"So I'll take care of it later"

Civila was always accurate.

Leave it to this goddess, so much so that I don't think there's any mistake.

That's right.

Leave it to Sibilla, and there's no mistake.

So --.

"Say no."

That's exactly what I said.

Look into Civila's eyes.

eyes that feel stunned, upset, and —— very slight expectations.

"Why not?"

"Because I don't believe in your judgment."

I remember when I met Sibila.

When the dungeon scarlet bat appeared in an orphanage in Adria, his hometown where he grew up, Sibila was still fighting in bad shape.

Now I think that situation where a Level 8 sorcerer was alone, desperately waving his sword while depleting his magic is unusual.

The rear guard position is one sword. I don't care what you think, I'm reckless, and I'm unprepared.

But why did this guy do that?

That's settled. 'Cause I wanted to help'.

Because I didn't even think I'd spare my life to waste for the orphanage.

"What I believe is' Solo Adventurer Civila 'who came to help the orphanage. By no means, I am not the goddess of the night darkness who hangs on the balance with his children, even though it is the lives of his companions"

So... I get it.

He said he was making a tough decision to keep me safe.

The truth is, 'I don't care what happens to me. I want you to help that kid!' Sometimes I can't help but scream.

Civila was accurate.

Positive.

With the possibility in mind, I guess the party now feels precious as I and Emmy step by step become better.

I think it would be a pleasure for me personally.

But... it worked too well and blunted my judgment.

"Have you ever stopped trying because you don't seem to win our battle? When I defeated the Fire Dragon, I fought and won a battle that I shouldn't have won once. That's why I'm now a" black saint. "

Even then, thinking about my grieving mother and daughter, I chose my current path.

Once I'm in a defensive position just because I've been cut through, that's not me I can be proud of Brenda, who already named me "The Black Sage".

Now there's a mother nearby who's trying to take her daughter, to do everything in the shadows for her daughter, and to sacrifice her daughter as a result.

Oddly enough, it's the same as then.

This time, however, it will take the form of not listening to Sibila.

Still not lost ——

I defy the goddess for the first time.

"I can't save Myra and I'm not going to live for it."

Civila closes her eyes.

……

How long have you been doing that?

Then Sibila exhales loudly and slowly opens her eyes.

"'I gave man the brave because I praise him for his courage. Praise man because human courage transcends the imagination of the gods' … there was once a goddess who saw the goddess of the sun and said so"

"You mean you."

"No, my sister"

Surprised by the sudden confession. Sibila had a sister... That means she's definitely a goddess.

Seems like a different goddess from the goddess of the sun.

... Speaking of which, you promised to hear more about this guy, but you didn't let me hear it at all. Shall we talk later?

"I couldn't believe it then... but now I know what my sister was talking about. Man transcends the imagination of the gods. This is how people leave the hand of God."

"Hey, I'm not leaving, I'm not going beyond."

He seems to be mistaken about something from what he said on his own, so he interrupts while he's still talking.

"I was only going to make my own decision and choose to be a party member, 'Line up in Civila'. I'm not going to be underneath you, let alone above you."

Sibilla opened her eyes for a moment, and put her arms together...... she laughed small, as if she was finally relieved of the tension.

... for the first time in a long time, I feel like I've seen you smile.

"Oh, you're so busy already. Fine, Russell is the leader of this party, The Night's Pledge. Naturally, I'll follow the party leader's instructions!

Ashley, stunned and eye-opening, gets up fluttered.

"What... So Myra..."

"Ashley! Emmy! I'm going to have this reckless fool who's making me a saint! It was sweet that it was fastened with a seal in the first place, wasn't it? So, Goddess of the Book of Goddesses, let's go and kill them!

An uninterrupted and reckless challenge.

But both Emmy and Ashley nodded quickly. The look on my face is that I'm not willing to lose.

"By the way, did you find the dungeon to observe from the story?

I just found it.

Exactly, you already found it... don't count on it.

"What, you said you couldn't find it at all!

Hey, you're not saying Emmy!

I guess you're really ok!?

Sibilla laughed nicely, leaving the diocese in silence.

We stick to Civila, even as we meet.

... Finally, look back at the cathedral once.

That's the end of believing in demon gods.

And the power of the opponent we're about to challenge.

Totally, you've become a life completely bored and unrelated.

But... compared to a life where I was only guaranteed safety without being able to do anything, I was able to recognize my existence.

That's more than anything, I'm glad.

So I'm not going to be the kind of person who sacrifices others for God's sake.

My profession of [saint] exists so that I can also be an executive of the Church. Being capable of obeying others.

—— but never will be.

Yes, I swore to my heart, not God, and I followed the cathedral.

There will be no more looking back.

Sibila walks fast down the hallway.

As I followed him in silence, I turned around the corner a few times...... I circled and went outside.

"What have you done?"

"Mapping."

Mapping...... were you doing the same thing when you were making a map inside that dungeon in your head?

"I was thinking as one of the possibilities, but I couldn't find out because the Red Society followers and executives were wandering around. But now I know it's clear."

And Civila walks along the walls of the building.

At the end behind it, there was something like a back door.

... back door?

Was it in the hallway of this building where you could get out of this place?

"The last key is that sound-mounted demonic prop." Green released into the field from behind "...... Green is oak. What about the back, then?

I noticed Civila's idea, too.

But no way, that's...

"Atashi first considered this place as one of his possibilities for a simple reason.... Russell, what floor was this building on?

……

Prejudice doesn't help anything.

Was this guy already thinking about that possibility in all his predictions......!

"Even so, at first, I only thought about" almost impossible. "But I was just walking and convinced. After all, this building is the inner part of the ground floor and the outer circumference, with differences in the size of the building. I mean, yeah --"

Sibilla then urges Emmy to open the heavy-looking door at the back door.

"--This building itself was a 'dungeon of sixteen levels stretching up'!

Near the entrance inside the building, there were signs of the same iron cages being destroyed at will as we saw in the lower level of the Madera dungeon.

At the same time I confirmed it... an oak roaming the narrow hallway turned this way at once.
