Black Summoner

The next time Rio regained consciousness was in a white space on one side of the perimeter. An unusual sight that I assure you will not admit any impurities other than white, but as nothing, makes me lightly dizzy. But still, it was the figure of one woman standing there that got Rio first. The person, with a heterogeneous atmosphere surrounded by white clothes and long silver hair, quietly opens his mouth.

"Let us give you the miracle of God, the light. Believe in God and deepen your faith."

"... I'm sorry, I'm an atheist"

That was the first face-to-face meeting with Elealis, who speaks of Iris Delamirius, a proxy who later becomes a compatriot.

"I see you have that way of thinking. It's a truly novel idea that I can't think of."

"No, I'm not going to push anything to anyone else, or deny it that far...... well, more than that, here it is!? Am I... Um, dead?!?

"You came to that conclusion from this situation while publicly stating that you don't believe in God, right? You're a very intelligent person with an ad hoc, flexible mind. Good thing."

"More than that -"

As Rio attempts to further inquire, the deputy gently puts his index finger against Rio's mouth, blocking his words. Rio, who has been drilling as an adventurer, is quite shocked by that behavior of hers, who felt no first moves or signs. I can't help but say that I couldn't speak any more.

"Yes, you were defeated by the evil old tree in the Dark Purple Forest, and you scattered that young life. Do you remember that time?

………

Rio calms his mind and sorts out his vague memories. The last memory was the sight of countless branches unleashed from that evil great tree pouring down on itself.

(No, it's more important than that. Remember, remember......! What happened to Mist?

Fist his forehead over and over again, memorable Rio. The deputy just keeps a quiet eye on Rio like that, especially not how he tries to stop that behavior.

"- Eh!"

"Apparently, you've been reminded. You pushed your people against you, and you became one of them."

"Yes, I was. After that, the leader was in charge of his fallen companions, and he was teaching mists that were screaming to the end...... Phew, I annoyed the leader to the end. But good. Really, good......! Everybody just ran away, didn't they?

"Yeah, you're right. One of your companions was seriously injured, so the sequelae will be due to subsequent procedures, but there is nothing else in his life. The rest of you are safe."

"Really..."

You're totally weak, Rio sat on the spot. The regret of making a suggestion that doesn't suit your height, the relief that your people were safe, such a complex mix of emotions, such a look.

"Pfft, you still seem to be the person I thought you were"

"Oh speaking of which... you hadn't heard what would happen to me yet. I don't think this is heaven... but what happens to me when I'm dead?

"Right, let's get down to business"

Then the proxy threw a word at him that he would never believe if he were a regular Riordo. Purification of the world and the resurrection of God - perhaps similar to what we have spoken to other candidates. And on the back of that reality, the narrative that you might believe if you were alarmed, badly baffled Rio.

"Oh, are you seriously telling me to believe such a Yotai story? No, even if the story was true before then, there's no way I can help you! It's really ridiculous that you're breaking the world!

"That would be the normal reaction. But I mean it. The reward is to bring you back to life and fulfill only one wish."

"The story itself is contradictory! What the hell are you going to do, fulfill your wish in a world aiming for ruin!?

"It's up to you to decide what to do. Add, this is purification and not ruin. It just brings the world back the right way."

"Such a thing can only be manipulative. Say it!

The discussions between the deputies and Rio were parallel lines everywhere. Eventually, the surrogate began to put his hand on his chin like he was in trouble.

"You're in trouble. As it stands, your soul is destined to die."

"Whatever you say, it doesn't change my conclusion......!

"Rio, listen to me again. Even if you say no here, if we find the next proper person, we'll have nothing to say about your disobedience, right? So isn't it the actions of the truly wise who put their wishes on hold at this stage and set up a crackdown under me?

"... why are you holding me so much? Your power is not normal at that point in time to invoke the soul of the dead. If you're the one who makes it impossible, you don't have to be like me."

Rio is going to have a good understanding of how talented he is. I am not false in my aspiration to be an S-class adventurer. but if you think about your abilities at the moment, you couldn't see why she would so intransigently solicit.

"No, even if I detain you. You have a lot of potential. That's the likelihood of an ancient brave man, Serge Floor."

………

After reflection, Rio decided to follow his proxy. Subordination for disobedience, that's obvious from anyone. The proxy, however, looks really satisfied.

"Don't worry. Within a few years, it won't happen. It's only a few decades before purification, maybe a hundred years away. Slowly, think about your wishes, don't you, Rio?

"... regarding the name, is it possible to change it when reincarnated?

"What's your name? Yeah, of course it's possible. I'm not even going to be involved in your way of life in this world, but do you want to be reincarnated as someone else? And your appearance, then?

"No, just the name is fine, and I'm going to live as before. We'll do something about the name we changed so we can go through as Rio."

"... you don't know more and more. Does that act of renaming mean anything to you?

"I do. Whatever the reason, I'm responsible for your evil deeds. As a commandment, I inscribe 'Rudd', which makes up the meaning of villain in the name. Change your new name, Riordo."

"Pfft, I'm going to like it more and more. Good, let's reincarnate you as Rio and bring you back to this world."

As the deputies put their fingers together as they prayed, the area around Rio glowed slightly.

"Oh, yeah, yeah. I bestow a gift on you to equip you with the power you deserve as a messenger of God. I still don't know what it expresses, but understand that it's like being given some kind of inherent skill."

"... to the point of exhaustion,"

"Yes, you are a dear compatriot. Of course, right?

A smile like the Virgin Mary of the substitute. Finally, the vision and consciousness gradually fade.

"Knock..."

"First try to get used to your new body. After a while, my hands will be in touch. Right, shall I leave you around 'The Predecessor'? Sacred Keys will be given to you at that time."

Moment to wake up from a dream. From the boundary between life and death, the position of the soul is inverted.

"The Selector was the most presumptuous of Rio's... No, the power of Rio. I'm looking forward to it."
