"Father!?

The daughter of the Marquis of Remtar is in a panic when she sees her father bleeding from all over her body.

"Did this happen"

The gaze of the goddess watching the Marquis of Lemtal, who was in a state of imminent death, was chilling.

More than that, he concentrates his consciousness on sucking away the divinity that has overflowed from the Marquis Remtar's body.

Is this what the goddess wanted to do?

"That's a little different. All I did was destroy a part of the magic formation with a life-taking (Lifedrain) and deal deadly damage. As a result, all the energy needed to summon the Divine Beast was returned to the Summoner. In this case, the Marquis Remtar and the wizard who was working with him received intolerable energy, and this is just the state of affairs."

Word is, you deserve it.

I would not have been dying if I hadn't used my divinity to plot such things as the summoning of divine beasts.

But he's not dead just because he's seriously injured.

It's not like the Marquis Remtar was strong.

"[Lifedrain]"

The goddess was sharing her vitality at a critical level that she could withstand.

That's why the other wizard is certainly not helping.

"... I, in a place like this...!

Marquis Remtar rises as he is bloodstained.

A kind of obsession was getting him up.

"It's pointless where you stand any longer"

"Who do you think I am?

The position of Marquis is powerful enough to give an opinion on national policy as well.

Relying on that power he came running up to the Marquis.

But there is not enough power left to sit on him now in the position of Marquis.

"Hey, he's up!

"Execute the sinner!

The crowd was beginning to flock to make the Lemtal Marquis a private sentence.

Soldiers are blocked and trying to stop, but the morale of soldiers trying to stop them is low. The only reason it's bad from the eyes of soldiers is because you look like a marquis.

"The divine punishment for the nobles is not over yet. Shut your mouth there."

Activate the taking of life by one of the goddesses who was in the front row.

The person could not stand just because he had been deprived of a little vitality.

I interrupted in the midst of divine punishment.

The moment I recognized that fact, everyone couldn't move on.

We become subject to divine punishment next just because we perceive it that way.

"Well, here's the punishment for you..."

What punishment will there be?

The nobles breathe.

"Protect your country like a nobleman."

"Huh...?

As a nobleman, there are many who are told what is normal and frightened.

The role of aristocracy is that of those who manage the territory or who have been empowered. Such aristocracy is given taxes collected by the people, the aristocracy with territory is used to enrich the lives of the people, and the aristocracy in charge of national politics is used with the whole country in mind.

Never be in a position to exploit.

At some point, even such a natural thing was just forgotten.

But the goddess had no intention of getting it done to this extent.

"I will halt the benefits of life force from the taking of life in the future"

"Oh no, then......!

Memphis country, which was an agrarian country blessed with abundant soil.

It was all due to the grace of Tishua, the goddess, that I was able to continue to maintain such a privileged land.

What happens when the benefit is interrupted?

of the aristocracy. They were trying not to dare think.

"I understand your attitude that we don't need a witch."

"... it's a misunderstanding! We never thought we wouldn't need Tishua-sama's proxy" witch "etc......!

One nobleman, about thirty years old, roughs up his voice in an attempt to avoid the worst.

But a few seconds after being touched by the goddess, the nobility had become the figure of an old man.

"I know everything you've done to Noel. It has nothing to do with 'witches' such as birth. It's like saying to me I don't need a witch or anything like that."

I don't want Noel = I don't want 'witch'.

Looks like the nobles were trying to establish a new 'witch', but they never realized that the act of expelling Noel, the 'witch', was synonymous with the act of expelling the 'witch'.

Angry with the action, the goddess made up her mind to stop helping the Kingdom of Memphis.

At the same time, I decided not to choose the next 'witch'.

Who would suffer the most from the disappearance of the Witch?

It's a people living in the Kingdom of Memphis.

"You are in a position to safeguard the lives of the people. To make sure they can live without my favor, that's the punishment for you."

It was perfectly fine for the goddess to have nobility in trouble. However, it was not overlooked that the people would have difficulty with the winding up of power strife.

So I said to the nobles to salvation as punishment.

However, I had the feeling that most of the civilians had the same attitude towards Noel as the nobles, so there was no problem with some trouble.

"I have a question in this situation"

"Ha......!

Before the goddess is the king of beasts on his knees.

There was no way I could beat the existence that I worshipped with God so much as a king.

"You said earlier that you would hold Noel accountable."

"... Yes"

"So what is the sin that that child has committed so much that he has to shoulder his responsibilities?

"It's..."

The Beast King tries to say something.

But that's nothing but excuses.

The goddess holds her hand and stands still.

"No, I'm still fine. You couldn't stop knowing the nobles were in a position of king. He said he was able to find out thanks to his collaborators until the biggest problem, and he pushed all his sins against the proxy of God, the Witch."

There was nothing wrong with Noel.

However, he was in the easiest position to push for responsibility.

I tailored him like a sinner, knowing he was innocent for all that reason.

"You also said you would take further responsibility and retire...... the king is free to leave. So you should push the country you know is going to be rough on your own son and just live a relaxing life in the countryside"

"It's..."

I will not allow one person to escape responsibility.

That's the punishment for those who betrayed Noel's trust.

"Okay. I will continue to serve my country until the end of my life."

In this way, it was stated that those in positions to shoulder the responsibility would shoulder the responsibility.

If it is different, it is likely to be subject to divine punishment.

After many times people have been shown to go old, they have also lost their temper to disobey.

"Well, that's about as good a punishment as it gets"

"Huh...?

Goddess business is not over yet.

"I would like to make the levy one last time"

"Levy?"

"Yes. The summons of the Divine Beast has used the energy that should be dedicated to me. You have a duty to return it if you use it on your own."

"Hey, what..."

My breath can only speak weakly from my constant mouth.

Neither does the Marquis know exactly how much energy he has used. However, I know that it is not an amount that can be readily prepared by people.

Even if I give it back, I don't know how to prepare it.

"No problem. I have a life."

Transform the vitality of living humans to regain power.

"Fine. It's cheap if I have to live alone."

"Father!?

"What are you talking about?

Marquis Remtar prepared for his life to be lost.

But I didn't know what I was talking about to the goddess.

Because...

"There's no way that the energy needed to summon a god beast can compensate for it with the vitality of one of you who's old."

"What?"

It was only a tiny amount compared to the amount used by the Marquis on his own when he took it all the way to his death.

"I'll tell you because I think I should be specific. If you're going to return what you've spent on your own, 3,000 young people will have to sacrifice their lives."

", at all......!

"But such numbers are unrealistic. So we will continue to collect vitality from your lineage for the next 300 years, not from the number of people. If the blood runs out, you won't be able to collect it, so you decide to collect the remaining life force at that stage from parents with children until they become independent adults."

"It's -!"

The Marquis tries to argue with something.

But the goddess, who lost interest not only from the Marquis but also from the Kingdom of Memphis, disappeared from the stage.

Afterwards, in a square in front of the Great Temple, was a private sentence for nobility by the people.

With the mess, the nobles were made to promise to live the lives of the civilian population as before.
