◇ Kaohsiung Saint ◇

Thank you for waiting, Mr. Hijiri ♪

The goddess sat down, pulling a chair with a high back.

Saint Kaohsiung sandwiched the low table and lowered his hips to the chair opposite him.

The building is close to the reception room.

The Goddess has many rooms in the castle that she can use privately.

The goddess has been particularly busy lately.

It took time to set this up.

In fact, it seems that the goddess has been in a good mood since the Imperial Army of the Great Demons began to move.

In addition, it was a declaration of war by the Mira Empire earlier.

It seems that Mira's ”rebellion” was a blueprint for the Allies.

"It's unusual for Hijiri to want to have a place like this with me.Oh? You're not with your sister today, are you? "

"I'm alone today."

"I see. So, what are your requirements?"

"There are a few things I need to check out."

The saint was cut out with a very dull sense of words.

Put it another way, act like a secretary.

"First of all, I would like to ask you about the future policy of our brave men."

If that's the case, shouldn't other S-Class braves be present?Like a serious and energetic cuckoo. "

"I know, and you dare say so."

Ufu ♪

The goddess deepened her smile and clapped her hands together.

"Again, Mr. Hijiri, you are as brave as you expected."

"Now 2-C is somewhat in my control - is that what you're reading?"

"Fufufu, did I misread you?"

"I won't deny it."

"Isn't that right? Oh, wait a minute."

The goddess went to the shelf and brought two silver cups.

He holds two cups in one hand and a bottle in the other.

In front of each other's seats - the goddess placed a cup on the table.

The goddess pours the contents of the bottle into the cup.

"Tonoa water."

"Thank you."

In thanking him, the Holy Spirit does not touch him immediately.

The goddess scratched the contents of the cup with her face.

"Before... look, you bit me, right?Did Mr. Hijiri ever make a suggestion to the effect that it would be unfair not to teach Mr. Sogou alone?

"I see. At that time, I appreciate you thinking about teaching Mr. Tsugawa."

"No? If you are grateful, please make it the dragon killer who suddenly made the name as a teacher at that time.Ah, but right now... that personality that you're forcing me to do... was so disastrous, that it became messy.Poor thing. It's like a bad joke. "

"Why are you talking about that now?"

"Ufufu, you know.I already know. Mr. Hijiri... you had deep romantic feelings for Mr. Sogou, right?Then I'm convinced that you've been giving me your opinion without any context. "

Reoriented, Saint lowered his head.

"I'm sorry about that time.I thought it would attract her attention if she hid there, so I took the momentum to imitate her like that. "

"... well, I can't help it. At first, I also felt really painful when I said," How can Hijiri not speak up and take such a terrible attitude? "But... if you're acting in love, you have to be convinced.If it's such a simple, stupid, wonderful reason, you'll have to forgive me. "

"Thank you for your generosity."

"... no, I may have unintentionally had a bit of a bad mouth.Let's just get on with it, Mr. Hijiri.Aren't you going to have a drink?Don't you want some? Do you want to lower it? "

The goddess smiles and shows the chalice by hand.

Saint didn't have a hand yet.

"If you're thirsty, I'll take it."

"Really? Ah, speaking of which...."

The goddess stood up.

This room has a door leading to the back room.

The goddess disappears into the back room with the door open.

The goddess who came back soon had something in her arms.

Large bag of thick cloth.

It doesn't even look like a sleeping bag...

My mouth is tied tightly with a string and it seems to be trapped inside.

"Excuse me, Mr. Hijiri, could you move the table cup to the edge for a moment?"

Saint did as he said.

Thank you very much ♪

The goddess put her hand on the sleeping bag that was still on her shoulder - the string.

--Huh...

The goddess throws a knife at a speed beyond sight.

The knot was torn and loosened.

Cheat... Bofu

Something falls on the table.

When it fell, a small amount of black scorched scum danced into space.

It was a black burnt corpse.

It is in terrible condition.

I can barely tell that the original was human.

That doesn't even make a distinction between men and women.

Of course, you can't know who the original was.

The Holy Spirit doesn't change one face.

The goddess kept her smile.

Goddess, what is this?

"Do you care?"

"Yeah."

It's Nyantang.

…………

"You haven't seen him lately, have you? This is what happened."

…………

"I'm sorry... poor thing"

"Why would she?"

"It seems to have been communicating with someone and doing something unsatisfactory.Hmm... it may have been unexpectedly connected to around the Mira Empire. Ah, so sad. "

Was that so?

"Such a compassionate, beautiful... strong and talented child.Gusu... the world is really ruthless. Death comes suddenly. "

"Maybe that's what the world is after all."

…………

"Anything?"

"... you're a strange person, Mr. Hijiri"

Really?

"* giggle *... wouldn't you be more surprised if a black body suddenly appeared in front of your eyes?After all, you are a Nyantang you know, right? "

"What is" normal ”?"

"Hmm? What happened suddenly?"

"By the Goddess's definition, it seems” normal ”to react surprisingly when you see this body.But there are people who are surprised inside but don't show their faces.But for you, it's not ”normal.”In other words, I am an ”abnormal” person to you… but that's what we call diversity.People are creatures of diversity.That's ”normal.”

"Ah, it seems like you're saying something incredible, but it's actually a typical empty content... Does it happen anywhere in the world that people with bad heads prefer to talk in vain and difficult ways?"

"Maybe."

Mr. Hijiri

"Yes"

"Pass"

The goddess ran over the body on the table.

The body was pushed out of the table and rolled onto the floor.

…………

The goddess said, smiling at the soot on the table.

"If you sow it, it's not that black burnt corpse - nyanthan.She was the daughter of an evil aristocrat who had already been executed.Fufu, are you surprised? "

"I'm human too. If my acquaintance was alive, I would be relieved."

The goddess smiles and lowers her eyebrows and buttocks and poses "Sorry?"

"I'm sorry.Actually, I wanted to try you.Yeah, but it's true that I was a little concerned about Nyantang's recent movements.Oh, by the way, I haven't seen you lately because I'm dispatching you to the White Wolf Knights in the North. "

"Something suspicious of me?"

"No, er... if there is someone who is using my beloved nyanthan to do something naughty... I was wondering if I could cook it out in this way.Mr. Hijiri seems different. "

"Have you been acting suspiciously lately?"

"Hmm... no, it's not like you're betraying me.What do you mean... it feels like it's being used by someone in a mouthpiece?So it's a little different to take care of Nyantang. "

"When the person who is using her sees this” Nyantang body ”, it clearly shows an unusual reaction.That's what you stepped on, right? "

"Correct. And after seeing Hijiri's reaction, I was convinced it wasn't you.Passed. Tonoa water just released.I liked how careful I was not to inadvertently mouth it.Hijiri decides that he can build a cooperative relationship with me.You... Hijiri Takao... "

The expression of the goddess remains unchanged.

But that smile - it dyes black.

"I would like to appoint you a Visis."



"Let me think for a moment."

"Huh? Oh? You're refusing?So... sad. "

"Aren't you expecting Hijiri Takao to let your eyes shine?"

".................. ufufu"

There is a sharp light in the eyes of the goddess.

"This is a bit... Hijiri may be a talent far beyond my expectations.It still didn't seem like it was a difference in expectations.Anyway... how much cooperation do you need? "

"I mean, you want me to control 2-C as you want?"

"Well, it's lovely ♪ Mr. Hijiri, please understand what I'm saying right away ♪"

The goddess leaned her neck with both hands together.

"What do you think? If it's Hijiri, I'm buying it."

"Yes, it's impossible."

"Thank you for answering as expected ♪"

"My sister's tree is a nuisance, and Mr. Tsugawa knows it."

"I've been caught in a cage, but these days you two seem to be getting along very well.You seem to be visiting your room frequently.No, it's okay, right? Even if you are of the same sex, I won't stick my tongue in your relationship.Please? ♪ I hope it lasts a long time. "

"There's something negative about the way you say it."

"I'm sorry because it's natural. Um... please don't say that in such a nasty way.I'm scared, please. "

"Anyway, now she's gonna listen to me."

"It's wonderful!"

"And... the light-colored braves will do exactly what Mr. Tsugawa says."

"Um, what about him... Kirihara-san?With all due respect, I think you're crazier than I thought.Honestly, I've been kind of scared of him lately.... "

"In my opinion, his thoughts and desires are quite legal.Depending on how you do it, it's impossible to control it. "

"... what's the odds?"

"Less than 90%"

Are you sure?

"He doesn't really look around like you."

Oh dear, so-so ♪

"I mean, I'm not more careful than I thought.They are easy to manipulate. "

It's over for Oyamada-san, who's upsetting Japan.

Shogo Oyamada described her condition as "over”.

Saint drops his gaze.

After a few beats, I raised my gaze again.

"Is it because he disturbed Japan that Yasuchihiro sneaked away from us?"

"Hmm? What are you talking about suddenly?Are you okay now? "

The air stopped snapping.

Saint slowly lowers his eyelashes.

"Excuse me. That was an unnecessary story. Forget it."

"Ufu, ufufu, fufufu... this is it. This is it. This respect and self-reflection is what other brave men lack for you.Especially, look... I can't feel any respect or introspection from Sogou.Um... I'm sorry if I sound like your lover's bad mouth. No offense. "

"... no"

"Thank you, Mr. Sogou, at that time... uh, I didn't get a name... there, that pathetic thing about the lowest... who wasted his dialog - well, leave the old dead brave behind... why did you disobey me when you threw it away?She still doesn't think that treason was the wrong thing to do... and there's still no proper way to reflect.That's what I'm worried about... from your parents, I guess. Poor thing. "

"I'll take the time to teach you that."

Are you sure you want to do this?

"I'll try."

"Er, the rabbits... well, it's because it's the liver that has three S-classes in line.As soon as we get in touch, we'll see to it that we can meet.Or... should we eliminate them? "

Is it because the final battle is near?

Have you finished sorting the goddess?

I'm losing my hesitation to cut off the brave.

"No... Asakono-san has the power to put people together.I was wondering if the S-Class three could play a role as a team leader when they couldn't let go. "

"Then, in a direction that does not eliminate"

"- By the way, I wanted to ask you something else.I was worried about my sister and asked the goddess to confirm it again.I told you there was no need to reconfirm that. "

Sighing holy.

"However, it seems that some of the other brave men have similar anxiety.Mr. Tsukawa, an S-Class brave man, also seems anxious.Honestly, I think that's a rude question.I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable. "

"No, don't you think Hijiri and I are friends? ♪ I won't be angry, please?What? What is it? "

"If we defeat the Great Demon Emperor, will we really be able to return to the original world?"

"Eh? Of course... I will.What happened suddenly? "

"- I thought so, so I also said to my sister," Isn't that a frivolous question? ”But... if this confirmation convinces them that the mental stability of the battle against the Great Demon Emperor will be achieved. "

"I see, that's Mr. Hijiri. You're even thinking about mental care ♪ Indeed, mental stability is very important before the final battle."

"The Great Demon Emperor has now lost the top three proximity ranks.When this happens, the time for a duel with the Great Demon Emperor should be near... That's why the brave men also realized that the time for their return was approaching, and they began to be driven by sudden anxiety.Regardless, I will do my best to crush the Great Demon Emperor.I'm going to... "

It seems that the goddess understood what the Holy Spirit wanted to say.

"Ufufu, don't worry. I will deal with the case of Emperor Madame in the west.Leave it to me - I am God, right? "

"Thank you. Now we will focus on the Great Demon Emperor crusade."

/(adv-to, adv-to) (on-mim) thump/thump/thump/thump/

The goddess placed a necklace on the table.

"A necklace to capture the vast amount of Evil King elements that will be released when the Great Demon Emperor finishes stabbing him.Have you explained before? "

Black crystal necklace.

Immediately after the summons, the goddess explained how to return.

"One is to get the heart of the Great Demon Emperor, the source of the Evil King.The other thing is to take the evil King element released when the Great Demon Emperor disappears into the crystal of this necklace. "

The goddess says.

"The Evil King element, whose root evil resides in the heart, is special and enormous.It's not something I can stand being close to.I've finally been able to identify the brave men to whom I owe this necklace...I will give you this necklace when I head north for the final battle. "

Saint drops his gaze on the necklace.

"I suppose you should say it's an honor."

"Hijiri Takao"

At an unstoppable speed, the goddess crawled over the table.

When I realized it, I lay my hand on the holy hand.

Sage Kaohsiung is reflected in the impressive golden eyes.

"This battle against the Great Demon Emperor is an unbeatable battle that will determine everything in the future.For you, for me. Therefore, never - "

Smell, smile and goddess.

"Please don't betray me."

"Am I the goddess?Betray me, what's in it for me? "

"Being betrayed by Mira's mad beauty emperor, who was supposed to betray me for nothing, really hurt me and made me very uncomfortable."

"What happens if I betray you?"

"I don't know if it was before or after the Great Demon Empire, but let me show you."

"What are you doing?"

The end of the Mad Beauty Emperor.



Saint went back to his room.

Larger room than the original world.

Apparently the most luxurious room among S-Class braves.

Saint recently learned about it.

High quality condiments.

Bed with guaranteed sleeping comfort canopy.

There is also a private bathing area.

If you call someone at the bell, they can get you into the water right away.

There are no trees here now.

He is a holy man.

Go to the desk and pull the chair.

Saint sat at a desk on his right.

Put what you took out of your pockets-- on your desk.

Smartphone.

In the end, I didn't touch the tonneau water that was released.

Pour water from the water bottle into the cup and drink one sip.

Like a rippled water surface, the Holy One gained complete calm.

Undo your hair and shake your neck.

Use your fingers to brush your hanging hair and operate your smartphone.

Low battery.

In fact, it is strange that it can still be used now.

NonHoly people's smartphones are out of charge.

Not available.

Of course, I can't charge it.

But only Saint was able to charge it.

Natural Skill [Wind] - [Wind (Thunder)]

I can charge with this capability - I did it.

The fact that it is possible to charge your smartphone.

I haven't taught this to the trees yet.

The principle of being able to charge is unknown.

What we know is that it is part of our unique skills.

Saint thinks.

Your own unique skills.

For (...) range (...) circumference (...) is (...) different (...) normal (...) wide (...)

Is it a characteristic of S-class?

Does the sacred ”S” have a different nature than other S classes?

I don't know anything about it.

I think the Holy Spirit is an outsider.

The abilities of the other S-Class two may also be quite freely applied.

Finish the operation.

Kaohsiung had a strange feeling here.

Somehow the other person's voice tells the lie.

I have a feeling that I can tell the truth by the subtle shaking of my voice.

I tried to verify it many times with the help of the tree.

Sure - I feel like I can tell a lie with the ”shaking” of my voice.

Absolutely not.

You need to sharpen your consciousness and concentrate to feel the lie.

You should still think of it as the influence of your unique skill [wind].

Does the S-Class skill have any impact on the user?

I don't know.

Either way, it needs to be carefully verified.

Saint caught on to the word ”wind”.

Pull out the knowledge gained from the literature of the closed-shelf library.

The existence of special spirits called "Haguchi Spirit” and ”Outlier Spirit”.

A windy spirit who spots lies.

His name is Silfixea.

Wind Spirit - recognizing lies - the inherent skill of the wind.

The ”wind” has something in common.

Is it connected?

…………

Return your thoughts to the purpose before you.

Put earphones on your ears and start the operation.

Continue operation further.

'Do you want to play the recorded audio?' - Decide.

'Please select a file' - Operation.

'Do you want to play this file?' - Decided.

Play, start.

"Hmm? Of course... I will, though?"

How much repeat playback did you do?

Stop the operation and remove the earphone.

Place your right elbow on the edge of your desk and keep your eyes closed - silence.

Quiet time.

It was a long time ago.

The impurity, the sound of life, is cut off and out of consciousness.

- Very quiet time.

... how long has it been?

Saint finally opened his eyes.

in a terribly quiet room.....

The time to sublimate doubts to confirmation is over.

And Saint spoke for the first time since he entered the room.

I see.

Conversation with the goddess.

If we defeat the Great Demon Emperor, will we really be able to return to the original world?

"Hmm? Of course... I will.What happened suddenly?

He only looks at the curtains of the windows.

Sunlight was leaking from the gap between the curtains.

The tiny dust that dances through the universe sparkles with its light.

The Holy Spirit looks at its false glow with touchless eyes.

Eventually, I murmured.

"Liar."
