What are you talking about? You think this body is capable of acting within?

No matter how much you can destroy your body, this absolute realm of faith and faith will not be invaded by anyone.

What do you want to pull out of me? Information? What information?

You want to know even the truth about the war? Or the truth about the liberators? The truth about the Seven Stars? I know you want to know some answer...... give up, all you have here is absolute conviction.

As a servant, I am only responsible for the equilibrium of the world in place of the Lord who should be there.

What can you do to someone like this? You will only be able to keep killing me.

But...... he seems to be taking in quite a bit of power. If we can somehow transfer that power to the liberator... I hope we can somehow feed it.

There's as much time as there is. Years will do, and this man will do...

"No, unfortunately we don't have that much time. Yeah, I'll totally wipe you out in a month."

"Huh!?

No way? No, it's just a read. And you want me to disappear?

I was brought to life by the world? Impossible. At least with the power of this world to defeat me, etc.

... are you going to let the liberators kill you? Impossible. I don't think that boy has enough special power to take me down.

"Well, we'll figure out a way. So, it's time for you to tell me? Let's start with the truth and the truth of war."

"... you, how"

Definitely, this guy can read my thoughts.

Then they read this idea too... don't think, nothing, don't think.

"It's no use trying to close your thoughts. Something else comes to mind there. The truth about war... well, I can largely imagine."

……

Definitely. You might be able to imagine, but that's where it stops.

"What did you want until you prolonged it? Were you not so impudent about your weakness in power?

Stupid! I shouldn't have thought about that!

You're telling me it's not thoughts you can read, it's memories...?

"Well, I guess so. If the war prolongs, the situation will change. In its history, there will come a country with ideas like Gardeus today."

"... what are you"

No way, they already started reading it? It's a lie, it can't be that.

This immense memory in such a short time... that I have fought for hundreds, hundreds of years.

All right, if you're upsetting our minds, so am I.

"Keep your mouth shut, Demon Man. Have you done that and exposed the hearts and minds of so many humans?

"Hmm. I'm sorry, but I'm going to ask you a question. I'm not going to answer that question."

"Hmm, I can see my ears hurting too much"

Get in. Get the trigger. To the spirit of this man...

What...? Can't you get into your mind, into your emotions?

You did have a conversation with me right now. How could you...

"Stop wasting your efforts. Let's get back to the fun interrogation."

It flows. Yoroki's thoughts, thoughts, come here in his chest.

rush. I guess I've originally made it number eighteen to disturb the other person's mind.

That's how they read to me right now, and it looks like I'm completely upset.

It looks flat. But in fact, from earlier on, various ideas came to mind in this guy's head, and every time he rushed to destroy his thoughts, he repeated the task.

Read. Yes, half my words are read. Because of his name, his level, his strength, his words, his behavior, he just talks about it and rocks it.

But even if it was just a shaky, off-target word, it was only giving shaking and direction to that thought for a moment.

"Fans, don't be easy and helpful to handle. Looks like you're in a lot of a hurry, huh? I've lost my handkerchief one after the other lately. Well, I don't even have my own body, I just have to go away and do this miserable thing. I don't know how to do that."

The next shake is something Oink created from the word 'in a hurry'.

That, apparently, was a word that touches on this man's insistence, a longer, more coherent thought flow than ever before.

"... Is the liberator a handkerchief,? And you're the liberator of the beginning. I see. Is that why you were weak for the first time? So, you're trying to make me summon a better being than I am? You're miserable, you."

"... shut up"

"What's the matter, you're angry, Yoroki? Could it be... oh, you're that cleric? Did you spread the ritual of the liberator summons? What, maybe they sent you in for that from the beginning?

Already, the bulk of this guy's purpose was pouring into our heads.

This guy wasn't summoned. 'Sent in'.

For some reason, I'm in the middle of it - should I even call it convenience Kamigami?

And he was using his [mental manipulation] skills.

Perhaps there is a desire for power from outside of this world, that is, to spread the art of calling liberators.

"Call me from here, and I'll tell you it's easier to send handpawns over there. Well, I guess so. I can't do this on my own."

"I'm telling you to shut up!

"I see. That mental manipulation was used to prolong the war a little bit.... No, you're not. I can't. You don't have that much power..."

Off the hook.

But at least, it's not a mistake that this man began to move to create a situation that would make it easier to call the liberators by prolonging the war and exhausting the continent.

So how did you prolong the war? In the first place, how did you create such a technique that you artificially express the dungeon?

"... Was there someone there to help you? Your overripe psychic manipulation. Did anyone try to use it or refer to it? You, it looks like Gardeus, this country, originally showed up... and maybe it's the" people on the fringe here. "

"... here, you say?

"Oh yeah. This is the Mage Guild. What do you say? Do you miss it?

I reacted. Definitely, this guy once enrolled in the Mage Guild.

It would be good around here today. See you tomorrow. I want to organize the information once and for all.

"That's it for today. Sorry, I'll have you in a black mass again."

"You're not supposed to be here. Wash your neck and wait, sooner or later -"

Who makes you say it to the end? Another man sealed in obsidian chunks.

And immediately tell Grandpa Ken and Lue to come in and seal it tight.

Then, by accident, Lue's thoughts poured in.

'I don't know, there's no trace of magic passing through the crest of the floor... I wonder if there's another way to approach it... but Kai-kun is also a force you don't want to use, and you should stop looking into it. Yeah, but it's funny...... Ginia did some funny tricks today, and my knowledge is getting better and better. I wonder if I can apply it to something.'

It seemed like a root-researcher temperament. I shouldn't have taken my abilities off the weapon right away.

"Good day, Mr. Kai."

Oh, Lace! Don't come near me!

'Read the mind...... this is also a great force. I know it's never for us, but if they read it... they might think it's a mundane woman. For example -'

Whoa, I've escalated step by step, so let's hurry and get it off.

... It's a force you shouldn't have to read intimate human feelings, this too.

"Thank you, Reis. For one thing, I'm going to compile the information I got for today. Grandpa Ken, can you show us somewhere we can talk calmly when we're done?

"Um, okay. But... that's an incredible technique. I think the Lord explored the area in a strange way when he dived into the dungeon."

"Well, including things around here. Oh, come on."

Strictly sealed again, we were taken by Grandpa Ken to a large room used for the presentation of the study.

Along the way, there was a scene where I could see that he was really a person in a position due to the fact that the other Alliance faces uniformly bowed their heads to Grandpa Ken... I guess I don't think so because of everyday words and deeds.

"... and it's Kai. The Lord seems to have pulled the information from the man... so tell me about it."

"Oh, I didn't completely read it, but I still got a lot of information."

And I start talking about what I found out this time, including what it means to recapitulate information.

A liberator is someone outside the world sending him as a handkerchief in the first place.

That man is Teng himself, who spread the ritual of summoning the liberators to the world.

That you somehow prolong the war and consequently encourage the liberator summons.

We are trying to forge liberators and use them for some purpose.

I once put myself in this magician's guild and did some research.

And that he himself was the first liberator to come into this world.

"... that's it. Honestly, you may not believe what we're talking about outside the world... but you know what, Nao?

"... Yes. When I was summoned to this world, I went to a strange place along the way. So I... defeat the Demon King. I mean, I was instructed to kill Mr. Caivon."

"What!? Well, then what? Are you going to kill Kai-kun?

"Oh, I won't do that! I believe in what I see. Mr. Caivon is not something to be defeated!

"... rue. Please calm down. He's okay with believing. And... did you forget? The liberator who was after my life... there would have been another, wouldn't there?

Yes, the gods sent me in to ask for me, the next liberator.

"Nishida Chise" Yes, she was my sister in Japan.

She was empowered by the godliness to kill me this time.

Honestly, I'm a little worried that her experience in this world could have a negative impact on her future life.

"The other liberators...? How is he doing now?"

"... I sent it back. In the original world."

"Huh! Do you have a way home!?

At that time, Nao, you stand up and embark upon yourself. [M] I guess so, he... he wants to go back to Earth.

"The liberators who were summoned on the Sardis used the magic that occurred during the killing of the Seven Stars and used the ritual of recall to go home.... right, Nao, when you go home, I'll ask Dahlia for you."

"Hi-ho! Master Dahlia has the ritual of recall!?

"Relax, Grandpa Ken. Both the semifinals and Sardis, including Dahlia, are already somewhat prepared for the Seven Stars killing. If this country is going to do the same, we're going to have a seat for the heads of state."

"Oh well...... But when it comes to letting the Liberator free the Seven Stars... I wonder what they're after"

"... Well, yeah. I know it's not a busy thing, but we're still short on information from here on out."

"Yes, right? I haven't solved anything yet, but I'm floating. Excuse me."

"Fine, I know how you feel. I'll make you fried again later."

"Yes, okay!?

Just a little, the air runs out. But Lue speaks out in a harsh voice there.

When I talk to her about what's going on...

"Pull out the information. Yeah, I think that's right. But I think you should have the means to kill that man right away. Look in person today. Okay. That... I can't kill you right now"

"Even the immortal can't defeat the Lue of the Holy Knight?

"Yeah. I don't think he's immortal. But I'm not an unclean person. It's not undead. I've been looking into it for a long time... and I have no idea what that is. It's just like being alive but dead... it's normal to be there... sorry, I can't explain it"

Seemed like he'd already started thinking about killing me.

Sure it is. He reproduced the destructive power of nuclear power in this world. He's the one you should never let live.

Just in case, you should have the means to kill him.

"... over and over again, how about I keep killing you until there's no trace?"

"... Probably not. Instead, then you'll be born again somewhere? Appear? It feels like that. What should I do, Kai-kun... I don't know, how can I defeat that one"

"... but Lue doesn't know, I can't even kill him... oh yeah. The man thought," I can't kill myself. "At least we have to never die in the power of this world."

"And I mean, what is it? With my help...?

"No, unfortunately, Nao, you can't even handle the damage... and your powers are built in this world."

"I can't defeat you with the power of this world...? So, what's the power of the outside world?

Then... is there any means?

Then Lue presented a certain 'means' with a serious face.

"... there are two things I can think of as methods that I just came up with. I told you before, the demon sword with a special pedigree effect. Then I'm sure they can create a sword that could kill more than they recognize the shape of a person, us or the world, and make that man look like a man."

"That's... but you know what it means to make things for people, don't you?

"Yeah, this is a last resort. I would never want to do it if I could. But, Kai-kun. I don't want to use another means if I can. This is probably... because I think it will poison you"

And Lue, as another means, took one wave of sword out of the void.

Is that... did you mean Lue, you were conceding that...?

"... there is no doubt, the power of the outside world. In the concept of killing it, I think this is probably the strongest and worst wave. If I were a former liberator and an outside person... I think this knife is definitely a special effect. Because... even Kai-kun was just before he died."

It was a wave that once pierced my heart and took my life in an instant.

She seems fine, but I didn't even get to touch her. That's right.

It was a sword that my sister, Chise, had been given to me by a god.

"... I touched it. But this knife, it's kind of crazy. Kai-kun, and against Nao-kun, he's still hostile. I feel that way."

"You gave it to me from Chise..."

"... Actually, yeah. The day before she left, she said she'd give it to me. That's why I thought it was strange, and I think I had a heartbreak the next day."

"... to me and Mr. Caivon... hostility?

I'll tell you about the knife.

And I wonder if the time has finally come for me to tell you the truth about it... determination to tell you the truth about it.

"The knife of special effects on the outside world. I mean, that's the thing that erases things that are supposed to be in this world. Nao, I'm going to tell you why I'm not only a part of this, I'm a part of it."

"... what do you mean, what?

"... you must be from Hokkaido. Zangi's a local dish over there."

"Huh! No way!

"Yes, I'm from Japan, too, if you follow me. I came to this world for a different reason than the liberators,"

"Oh no... why did you keep quiet...?

"I'll ask you the other way. Need to talk warm? Did you have a story that reminded you of your desire to go home? And more importantly... I've already set myself apart from that world."

"... is that right? I guess that's the right thing to do. I was just being selfish. It feels unfair that I'm the only one who doesn't know."

"Right. You're absolutely right. Well, for now, we've got a purpose to kill him."

"Yes. Um, Mr. Leue. That knife, can I touch it a little?

"Oh, it's dangerous, huh? Kai-kun just touched it and got burned."

Nao, you show how convinced you are, and now you become interested in the knife.

Well, if Chise could have gotten it, Nao, could you have...

"... it feels kind of strange. Electrostatic...... like. It's like rebellion when you try to hold it, it's like discomfort."

"Is that all? Keep your fingertips to yourself if you want to touch them."

And he stretched his fearful index finger into the pattern...

"I touched it! Oh, it's okay, I can grip it, too."

"I see... the liberator has received even that divine blessing, so you can take it..."

"I see. Yes, Mr. Leue, I'll pay you back"

If so... can you take his thoughts backwards...?

"Well, I'll get back to it. Tomorrow, I'm going to talk to him again, but I need Grandpa Ken to do something for me."

"Oh, my God, Kai."

"That man should have been in this magic guild in the past. If you have an old record, I want you to look into it. Perhaps you will also see the presence that helped him or the way he fanned the war"

"Nooo... that'll be a heavy labor inside. Sure, there are still materials left from the formation of the Mage Alliance, but there are still 700 years..."

"Ha ha... I think it's probably a time before the war started. I think we can narrow it down a little, please, Grandpa Ken."

"Well...... let's also be important clues. Fortunately, I borrowed a lot from the king for manpower. I'll be right back with instructions. I'm sure it's called Yoroki Shoussey."

"Oh, yeah. I got it, Grandpa Ken."

Quickly, he left the room behind, and it was me, Lace and Lue who were left behind. And you, Nao.

She disappeared at some point, Ginia, but Nao said she was drunk with the wine she tasted earlier, and you said she was taking a break in the infirmary?... Wasn't he still seventeen or there? I don't know if there is an age limit for drinking in this world.

"You've managed to see the way... The announcement about the Seven Stars will be made at a banquet in three days, and hopefully we can get some more information by then"

"Right... that's what I need to hear about the seven stars tomorrow. At least there could have been seven stars on this continent."

Once, Mr. Cromwell told me a story.

And about the ritual of the Seven Stars summons, he also said 'a priest of a country'.

… where is the source of the information? All this depends on Oink's report, or what?

"Um, Mr. Kai. I'm going to take a look at Mr. Zinnia. I'm worried about drinking alcohol that I'm not used to."

"Oh, please. If it looks okay, you can go back to Mr. Stiglia's mansion with me first."

"Yes. Now, if you'll excuse me"

And there are three people left in the room.

Lue seems to be thinking about it from earlier, but I guess there are still a lot of areas of concern.

Intention to liberate the Seven Stars. And the presence of someone. Something behind the liberators.

It was sealing the dragon god who reigned as the most powerful seven stars, naturally there is something to think about.

"Um, Mr. Caivon. Mr. Kaivon is from Japan."

"Hmm? Oh, one country in the northeast. I've told Hokkaido a few times."

"Is it true!? Heh, maybe it was wrong somewhere."

"Oh, right.... well, maybe you should let Ren see you in the face sometime."

"Ren...? Could he be a liberator, too?

"Oh. He's about your age. Hehe, I'm sure I'll be jealous of your strength now Nao. He was originally a martial arts student. He was strong inside."

"Maybe... will you be my brother?

"No, he and I were originally in a hostile relationship. I've crossed my sword twice."

"Yes!? Then maybe he'll crusade the Demon King too..."

"No, I'm not. It's like being involved in a little aristocratic conspiracy."

... Right. He was called before I came to this world. So naturally you haven't been ordered to defeat me... is it still triggered that you defeated the Dragon God?

... Speaking of which, it was also after the Dragon God was sealed that the ritual of summoning the liberators spread to the world.

No way, Dragon God has some big secret...?

"Rhue was skeptical of the seven-star liberation from the start, speaking of which"

"Yeah, naturally. I've been cursed every night. That can't be a good thing."

"Uh, no way, Mr. Leue...?

"You are the Holy Knight of the Great Elf who sealed the Dragon God, the mightiest seven stars."

"No, I can't!

"And it was your brother who buried the dragon god."

"Yes!?... They were kind of outrageous people..."

"Sure. But when I look at it like this, it's not just a coincidence that I showed up at Rue's."

"Right. It's kind of strange, it's like... fighting against the will of some of them..."

"... out, maybe. Apart from the existence that invoked us as slaves, hostile to the existence of the liberator as a pawn..."

What if he's really here?

It's an outing, living in that ritual, calling herself "God like" and she's a shuddering girlfriend.

"If so, I'm a traitor, aren't I? I will never imitate Mr. Caivon again."

"Ha, that's dependable."

"Yes! Ah......! Speaking of which, I totally forgot. Mr. Caivon, you kept this."

Then, Nao, you took the ring out of your nostalgia.

Oh, speaking of which, you totally forgot.

"Yes. Then I guess I'll have to put it on you again, Nao."

"... you know the custom of engagement rings when you're from Japan, right?

"Oops? I have no intention. I have no intention. You've been wearing it since I put it on you."

"Hahaha...... I kind of wear it all the time and it feels like we're together even when we're away"

You haven't tied your hair lately, so you just look like a pretty brunette, don't say that. I thought you were unconsciously cute for a moment.

With that said, he put the ring on my right index finger this time.

Good. I was wondering what I would do if I got stuck in my left hand pharmacopoeia.

"Mmmm...... glad you don't have Reis here! Even though it's not funny to me, it would have been Cancún if Reis had watched, wouldn't it?

"Ha... don't tell, don't tell"

When we exchanged the rings again, we went back to the mansion first after Grandpa Ken reported that he was giving instructions and promptly checking the materials.

It should be noted that Ginia seemed to be playing hide-and-seek in the mansion garden with Lace and Hamu.

"Are you all right now, Zinnia?"

"Yes. Earlier, that guy in the infirmary... Goto...? met with. Apparently, he knew where we were staying."

"I knew it. Well, maybe we should share some information with him tomorrow. I'll try this city's General Alliance headquarters again."

"Yes, then I will turn to the security of this mansion for a while.... because I think it would be Nao if they were going after me right now"

With that said, Zinnia narrows her eyes softly and becomes a sole as a samurai, not the usual carefree look.

Ha, you're reliable. Perhaps she will be left to some extent.

And so, steadily, as the truth of the world became apparent, I just hoped that she - Oink - would grab the information from Mr. Cromwell.

... please, be kind to the end -.
