Lesson 47: Reasoning

When it's been forty minutes since I started walking. As he left town and walked down the path where the grass and trees grew, he discovered Sasha with her back to the trunk of the tree and arms around her. Did you also use [rapid growth] or look like an adult? Sasha seems to have noticed us too, so she's approaching us.

"I've been waiting for you, King. No, should I call you Euto now"

Have you figured out who I am when I turn human? [M]

"... it's like you knew we were coming."

"Actually, I knew you guys were coming in [for the future]. Because of this, I thought I'd pick you up close."

"... that's a handy spell"

I regret it asexually for some reason. I knew I should have used [Moment Move].

"It's certainly convenient, but it's not always omnipotent. It was totally unexpected to actually be seen who I am..."

Sasha says to sigh. Apparently, not all futures can be predicted. Then Sasha turned her attention to Lina.

"You're Yut's sister. I'm Sasha. Say hello."

"It's Lina. I've heard a lot from your brother. Nice to meet you, Sasha."

Lina and Sasha exchanging hands.

This guy, by the way, is six years old.

"... to?

Lina's eyes dot. No, I didn't tell you about the [fast-growing] spell yet.

"Also, already. Your brother has something to joke about, doesn't he? Wouldn't you be an adult woman from anywhere?"

"I'm not kidding. Hey Sasha?"

"... oh"

As Sasha nodded, Lina's body shivered with clatter.

"Well, kids grow up very fast these days..."

"It's not, Lina. Actually..."

As I explained, Lina breathed with a convinced face.

"You're temporarily growing up with spells. I'm surprised..."

"I was surprised when I first saw it, too. I wasn't uncomfortable being an adult at all."

More like an adult.

"Thanks for that. One favor at a time, but I want you to keep it a secret that I'm really six."

"Oh, so it was a bad idea to teach Lina?

"Well, if it's about your body, let's forgive it. More than that, is that supposed to mean you're gonna be one of mine?

I shook my head next to Sasha's inquiry. [M]

"I'm sorry, but I can't be one of you. I also have a position as a champion. In case my men find out I'm one of them, it's gonna be a big deal."

"... well. There's a lot going on with the king."

"But I think it's okay to have a cooperative relationship temporarily. It's not a bad story for me to sell my favors to humans."

That's going to be a big deal if we find out we've lent a hand to humans, but we can still be deluded.

"A temporary cooperative relationship? Okay, so let's do it. But that would make it impossible to meet the condition of 'I'll tell you where the gate is when you're one of me', but what about that?

"Your purpose is to get the" Mad Demon's Mirror, "right? Then tell me where the gate is when it serves its purpose. As long as we get the mirror, we shouldn't be complaining."

"Fine. I promise."

You agreed to it. Maybe he had already seen this kind of interaction with me in [Prediction of the Future]. Someone who can't eat at all.

"I'm telling you, I didn't trust you yet. I'm still half-hearted if you really know where the gate is or if there's such a thing as a gate in the first place."

"Huh, that's a little shocking. Well, I'm pretty sure there's angel blood in my body, and I can't help but wonder. As a matter of fact, I'm a Seven Star Angel spy, and my true purpose was not to obtain the madman's hand mirror, but to destroy it.

"... no, I'm not going to doubt that much."

"Well. What is standing talkative all the time, and is it time to try to head to my Azito? Let me show you from here on out."

We walk out with Sasha in the lead. Along the way, Sasha had done several painful tricks. I guess my left leg sounds injured by the battle with Seal.

"You want me to fix that leg later with [universal healing]?

"... you're a caring king. But I'll just accept your feelings. With this injury, I can always maintain my hatred for the Seven Star Angels."

"... well. But even if you get the" Mad Devil's Hand Mirror, "isn't it hard to bury a seven-star angel in your hands with that leg?

"Sure. But I am bound by" annihilating seven star angels with human hands, "but I am not so deeply obsessed with" annihilating seven star angels with my own hands. "There are other people who have a grudge against the Seven Star Angels."

"Oh, that! I thought..."

So Lina came in between.

"There are already hundreds of victims of the disappearance, aren't there? Then can't we ask the great people of all countries to help us? Seems like a lot of people don't know about the case yet, and if we can raise awareness of the case, I think we can drastically reduce the number of victims..."

"What if those great people were the Seven Star Angels and Guru?

"...... eh!?"

To Sasha's words, Lina opened her eyes wide.

"Of course I tried to hang it on top of the country. But in the end, I was just clouded with tea. In my opinion, the Seven Star Angels are probably working on ministers from all over the country to have the case covered up. I guess that's why we hardly penetrate people about the case."

Cover-up, huh? I had inferred from the time I received the report from the devil that there was a connection between a seven-star angel and a man of power, but Sasha seemed to have the same idea.

"Hey, why are you doing that...!?"

"Until now, the human realm has not been invaded by the demons because of the presence of angels, beginning with the Seven Star Angels. I had no choice but to shake my head vertically on that pretext, that would be the case. Hey, king?

Shake on me here. [M]

"I'm telling you, I have no intention of invading human territory."

"Pfft. You have no ambition to conquer the world, even though you have so much power."

World conquest, hey. It would be possible with my powers, but I'm not going to use them in that direction. My ideal is only to create a world where humans and demons can coexist.

"That's why I can't count on the country. You have to protect yourself."

"Duh, why do we need to get so far and take people's souls..."

"I don't know. It will have to be heard directly from the Seven Star Angels."

While we were talking about this, we arrived at Sasha's Azito.
