'... woke up? Long time no see, Ngohoo!?

When I opened my eyes, I had a goddess face, so for now, I shot him in the stomach.

Eat a good one for the dovetail, hold your belly down and look at the noose goddess and say something.

"Too bad I'm a sexist."

"Hey, what... So, what? Did I do something to you?

"You put Dada Justice on me."

I won't tell you I forgot.

The goddess, who had been roaring to remember for a while, seems to have finally remembered after a few seconds.

"Oh, could it be about that? You had it in your roots?

"Or so. I'm a beginner."

Looking around, it's a familiar white space.

Clear air spreads everywhere.

"So, what can I do for you that I called you here?

"I didn't need to tell you, I needed to call you to run errands."

With that said, the goddess began some work at hand.

"Run errands? You ever go from baron to Viscount?

'Well, it's only the rules of a world where you've become a vampire, and you have to bottom-up other skills and stuff, so you can't just leave it to yourself.'

To hear the story, they originally had a few rules to raise the title and doings of the Demon Nation. Says, it feels like defeating a few Demons of one upper throne, or defeating one of the two upper thrones.

There seems to be every other rule, but there is no such thing as a title in the first place in the world where I am now, and the goddess has adjusted it for me to rise to the level.

However, when the title rises, all abilities increase, but when it comes to raising all seven other cheats on the boulder, the adjustment doesn't work?

So, they only summon the soul directly to this place, and the goddess adjusts it straight away.

"Somehow, can you get that far?

That's what I started.

"Do you have time for goddesses?"

I'm not free.

and angry goddess with her cheeks inflated. She's as cute as ever. I want to follow.

"If you can, I'd like to hear your hopes."

'Unfortunately, I don't know how my skills will evolve either. But if there's hope, besides, I can improve my skills a little bit.'

That's great.

"How much did you say you did?

"For example, I wonder if the font in the status notation will change."

I was a little out of my mind.

"... I need something a little more useful"

'You can't help it. It's not a system of summons, it's an escort using my personal authority. "

Hi. I hear there's a lot going on in God's world.

Right...... let's do this then.

"Then you want an announcement or a log"

"What's that?

"I had an announcement when I was called into this space. I want you to make sure you tell me that when you upgrade your skills, when you level up, when you acquire your skills. so that you can switch on and off if you can."

"Uh, I guess it feels like a game in your world. All right. '

The goddess works a little again. Right after that, my body glowed thinly.

"Yes, you've earned Announcement skills."

"Oh."

I can't open the status now for some reason, shall I check it later?

"I'm more or less done with the tweaking work, but I've given you plenty of time to spare, so you've got half the time."

What are we gonna do, chat? and the goddess asks.

I'd like to ask you a few questions.

"What?"

"It's about God and the world I'm in."

That said, the goddess obviously looked bitter.

'Oh, that's right. Even in the divine world, it's quite a problem. Well, we can't go into details.'

"For example, God must not overinterfere in the lower realm, what rules are there?

"There is one."

"In that case, what about God in that world?

"Maybe it's too much."

"Maybe?"

When I ask, the goddess gets lost in the answer for a moment, then says:

'I shouldn't tell you much, but that world is a refusal to engage with the rest of the world. It's strictly forbidden to interfere in other worlds, so we don't know that world properly.'

Isn't that really something to talk about? When I asked, I didn't know that you would be okay.

Then while I'm asking some questions, my consciousness goes away.

'Ah, it's time. Good luck with that.'

"Uh-huh."

Respond appropriately and I'm going back that way.

'I didn't thank you until the end... Sounds like him, but you're a little lonely.'

There's no sound, something's coming down.

Its speed is too fast to capture even the enhanced areal motion vision.

However, I instantly found out that this, which is being done now, is an attack by Prairie and the result of rock gathering.

Along with the landing, shock waves scatter around the perimeter. That's continuous, too.

Areya instinctively felt the crisis and immediately built defensive magic. Fenrir and the Black Wolves also enter and spend time in shadow space.

They were told to distance themselves in prayer, and they should have distance enough. Still, some of Areya's defensive magic was destroyed. It was just telling the story of overwhelming destructiveness.

Until then, the worms that had been hissing with each other narrowly were limbbed like stomping ants, and their shells were crushed, and their body fluids were scattered with fine dust.

In front of the areya, where the sound had faded and the defensive magic had finally been lifted, the sight had widened. The grass that was growing on the plains has no shadow to see, and the ground is turned upside down. The remains of the worms have not been kept in their original form, and it is impossible to discern which of them belong to which individual.

It's miserable. That's exactly what was spreading.

Aaliyah realized now that she was slipping out of her hips and into the ground. My knees trembled and I'm still not going to be able to stand up.

"This is... the power of the Lord..."

Fenrill, who was on the ground at some point, stands his hair upside down. There are no more enemies there.

But it is better than Aaliyah if he has not fallen back.

Areya didn't freak out about the sound and the power and slipped her hips. That's also a slight factor, but the main cause was different.

Take refuge in the prayer behind you, be slashed and fall. Prayer Ri, who wiped out the knight, sucked the blood of Aaliyah. Then when I woke up, at some point the castle, arguably my own house, was burning, and the mastermind of the coup d 'état and humanity's strongest were dead.

I knew the royal castle had been wiped out and destroyed by only one of the knights. And we also heard the fact that Prayer Ri carried it out.

Even if I was convinced by reason, I guess Areya wasn't convinced by heart. The reason for this is that I couldn't imagine it from what I usually look like in prayer and I hadn't seen enough strength to just do it.

Until now, we have not been able to successfully link the series of incidents in the Kingdom of Rising Sun to the Prayer Ridge. That's why I made a subtle statement about crossing you, etc. Arella didn't realize the power.

But now the sight changed Aaliyah's image of prayer. Prairie had all that power.

Different times, we didn't have this method of attack at the time, the target is a demon, not a human being, and so on. This man was forced to understand by instinct that it was a being that could do it.

For the first time, Aaliyah learned great fear in prayer.

My knees laugh and I can't stand because of it.

Aaliyah realized the difficulty and weight of crossing him. My heart sinks. Though I'm not giving up, it feels like the mist in front of me cleared up and I saw a huge journey to my destination.

Aaliyah was excited.

Aliya was puzzled by herself having what could be termed admiration for Prayer Ri as she witnessed such a tragedy.

- You know that best, don't you?

(... Shut up)

Aaliyah bitterly spit out the phantom.

(I'm not like that)

But she doesn't realize that the whining of her heart means she's a star.

Where it sprang from, the black fog covers the area.

The "black wind" leads to the shadow space of the prayer, which is stored so that worm carcasses and rock fragments can be swallowed.

By the time the fog cleared, there was not even a drop of bug fluid left, just a bunch of miserable craters left.

"... hmm?

Aliya, who had been stunned for a while, brought her consciousness back to reality because Fenrir whined about something.

"This is ah......"

"What's up?

Fenrir looks bitter and tells Aliya as Aliya casts her doubts as she approaches Fenrir.

"My connection to the Lord is broken."

"It's..."

"My Lord, no, something may have happened."

Where is the inner perplexity until earlier, and Areya is soon deprived of her thoughts by the worries of Prayer Ri.

Whether you are a dead or dying being, there may be something just right. She's not the only one who thinks that, and Fenrill is shaking her body a little too busy.

I just wanted to rush early, but I had no idea where Fenrir and Aaliyah had gone when he disappeared.

There, a fairylike woman in a dark suit flies in.

"Arriers"

"Is it silf? Do you have any idea where Inori went?

"It's on that cliff over there. He just collapsed."

Sooner to hear it, Fenrir and Aaliyah followed Silf to the cliff where Prayer Ri was falling.

As Silf asked, Prayer Ri did fall, and beside it was also the figure of a woman who was being sagged in unconsciousness.

"Inori!? Hold on! Oh, if it's a concussion, you can't shake it... uh, did you secure the airway? What was the recovery position like..."

With the bumps and tweets, Areya pulls out the knowledge she receives from Prayer Ri in a rushed manner and begins first aid.

Silf, watching it from the edge, tells Areya to calm down.

"There's no injuries anywhere, and it's healthy."

"Then why did you fall!?

"You don't understand..."

If Silf had the only concern, it was that he could not feel the presence of his soul in the body of prayer.

(But I don't have a problem with my body... No, is it being held in good health? Even like a time freeze……)

But there was no chance that Prayer Ri would die here now more than his health was preserved. When it comes to having no soul here, etc., Silf thinks that the place is just confusing.

If it's a matter of soul in the first place, there's nothing we can do about Areya or Fenrir.

"Duh, what should I do..."

"Because it's healthy, I think I'll wake up right away. Why don't you give him a knee pillow?

"Kneel!?

I was told I would wake up immediately, an areya who showed relief, but stiff to the silf words that follow.

"Oh, that's not weird, is it?

"Well..."

Looking restless, Aliya puts her prayer head on her knees.

"... this is only a first aid... for restorative positions... it's never going to work..."

"I hear you."

"What!?

"Then I'll be on perimeter alert."

Fenrill disappeared into the woods with his subordinate black wolf, and Areya had no sign of lowering her prayer head from above her knees as she blushed.

The sleeping face of Prayer Ri in front of me was different and calm from the usual impression, because it was originally childish or adorable.

I think Aaliyah has his hair.

(Speaking of which, you've been with Inori ever since you went outside...)

Prairie was, for her, an incomprehensible person, an irrational being, a wall that had to be crossed.

And now I realize that I had become bigger to her than I thought.

(I'm a little sorry, but really, maybe I have a love affair for this one...)

I was watching Aliya, Silf, and I notice.

"Maybe now is your chance to escape..."

"What are you thinking!?

When I wake up, Silf says, "This is my chance to escape..."

"Don't run, Cora."

"Heb."

Say something to Silf who was about to fly away.

"Decopin's sentence."

"Oh, wait a minute. That's... hebsh"

Get an idea of what's going on while playing with the silf in your hand. I am put to sleep and have a soft feeling in the back of my head.

If I looked up, there was the face of Aaliyah at close range.

"... This is nothing, just for recovery positions..."

Aliya says as she dyes her cheeks.

Should I say something senseless here: "The knee pillow is not in recovery position"?

Well, okay. Shall I enjoy the feeling of the back of my head for a while?

"Keep it up, please"

"Uh, okay"

"... Inori? I have no problems with my body because my condition is retained while I was losing my mind...... gohoo!?

Decopin on the belly of the silf that almost ran the extra thing. How is Decopin even though it is not Deco?

Let's just calm down for a second and check the logs and the dots quickly.

Just like the status, it seems to show up if you remember.

...... yeah. Enough with that.

It just keeps happening that the level of general skills has improved.

I'm already full of scratches for now, but I'll take my time appraising my status.

So let's open the status--

"─ Become!?

─ ─ Suddenly, a powerful reaction appeared in Detection.

I didn't show up as critical as I could detect. The bush right there, very close range suddenly.

It's as if I even teleported it.

Not if you're asleep. Jump right up and take a battle stance.

"Huh!?

Look at that, Aliya gets up soon too. That's just how fast my head spins.

By the way, Silf is still, like, snug in my hand.

Out of the way.

Throw it around there.

"Munch!?

Screaming, but ignoring. Ignoring.

What did I do while staring around the bush where my reaction was?

"Who's there?"

"Hmm? Me"

Soon powerful signs settle into a crowded reaction.

And I heard a missing, familiar voice in between.

... What, you're an old man.

"Ugh. That sounds like fun."

"Don't show up suddenly. You'd be surprised."

Appearing in light condition from the bushes were Ignor, the present Demon King, with the ears of the elves, the horns of the demons, the beards of the dwarves in the ears of the beasts, and the urchins of the dragonmen. I mean, it was an old man.

I see. Surely an old man would know as much as I'm doing something, and a teleport would be possible.

"Uh... do you know him?

Aaliyah asks me if it's a snack.

"Uh, didn't I tell you"

Speaking of which, Silf's Night Crawl (?) I think I forgot to tell you that I stampeded a lot.

"Introduce yourself."

"Earlier, I was the demon king, and this is Ignoa, the current demon king."

"Er...? This is Areya, thank you very much.

Oh, this girl doesn't understand.

"I don't think you can tell from that introduction."

"But there's no other explanation."

"Is the Demon King that Demon King?

"Uh, areya. I'll explain later."

I still put an areya with a question mark over my head and ask my old man.

So, what can I do for you?

"No, you can hear me. Because if you think about it, you're doing something funny."

"You mean wild horses?"

"That's the place. Well, there are other reasons."

With that said, the old man pointed under the cliff.

"That tragedy, what are you going to do?

"Mm?"

When I glanced at the tip of my old man's finger, a number of craters overlapped and the ground turned up the plain... or the wilderness was spreading.

"I heard noises in the city. It's only a matter of time before people get here, okay? Well, I thought it was mostly thunder, so it wasn't much of a fuss."

Even quite a distance from the city, he seemed to have heard an earlier roar. Well, it was an attack that didn't originally know how powerful it would be, so it's unexpected that it would be so effective.

From this point forward, therefore, it is a no-plan.

"But do you want to come in here late at night to investigate? The Adventurer Alliance will be asked to investigate tomorrow, and even if we team up within that day, it will be the day after tomorrow when the team will be here."

"The Adventurer Guild is. Except for the church. They teamed up early, and now they're about to leave."

"Heh, the church."

"It's like knowing something's gonna happen tonight."

"Ho."

Church. Increasingly, it stinks.

"But that's certainly a problem."

"You'd want to erase as much evidence as possible, wouldn't you?

"Ah."

"That's where I come in. I can fix it magically."

Well, surely it would be possible for an old man. If I decide to create a pit too, I may be able to fix it on the surface with Weapon Smelting, but as a result, a large number of pits will be created on this plain. If something happened here, you'd be increasingly suspicious.

"Can you ask?

"No problem. It's not a lot of work."

"Goodbye."

"Aye. You go home first."

It's something that gives me a lot of attention.

Well, I guess it would be more beneficial for this guy to move freely and soften things up than for me here to be suspicious of the church and restricted in my actions.

"Something, you're close"

"Hmm? Really?

Areya, who has always backed down and kept her mouth shut, asks at the end of the story.

When I replied vaguely, my old man asked Areya the other way around.

"From what I can tell, if you do it, you seem to be close to Prairie, too? Are you kidding me?

"Come......!?

"Nha no"

Areya's stiff, so I'll answer for her instead. Jito, I'm gonna turn my eyes on you, but you're not, are you?

"... for once, I am Inori's servant"

"A servant? This guy's? Seriously."

If I do, the old man is surprised. Where is the element of surprise?

He retrieved the silf he still left on the ground, put it in his pocket and waved at the old man.

"Old man, I'm leaving"

"Uh, wait a minute. Leave me there, lady."

"What?"

My old man tells me to leave Areya behind. Did you like Aaliyah?

Hmm? Are you insane? In some cases, it's gonna be hostile, right?

"Hey, wait, old man. This one's mine."

"Wait, don't make me wait. I'm not going to take your favorite and eat it. I just need to ask you a few questions."

Why is this guy obsessed with Areya? Or should I stay?

And Aliya, the person of the day, is turning red on her "my stuff" statement. That was too much for the first time.

"I swear, I won't do anything. I want to avoid hostility with you, even with me. That's how you know it."

"... well, yeah. Give it back to me. Finally, it would be nice to introduce yourself in detail."

Leaving behind that and still confused areya, I decided to head back to the city.

Well, an old man wouldn't mean anything to you, and if you want an areya, you can always take it. Nothing much. There will be no problem.

You can't transfer the silf with it in your pocket. So I have to run home.

Shall I wake you up at the gate and make you transparent?

It is troublesome.

Aaliyah followed the occasion, staring at the back of the prayer.

The exciting statement, "It's mine" and so on, certainly disturbed Aliya's mind.

But with the conversation that followed, Aliyah was unable to dispel one question.

─ I wonder if I and Prayer Ri have a decisive...

There's only a thin basis, it's like a survey, but I can't let that question creep into my mind and drop it.

Areya wants to turn away from such a fact. When you look straight at it properly, you get a cold sweat on your spine. I felt something break.

Excuse me for a moment.

"Oh, yes."

Aliyah reacts to the voice she calls from behind. Aaliyah still hadn't figured out who this man was.

An unbalanced look, like an assortment of Dwarves, Elves, Beastmen and other traits on the face of a murky middle-aged man. It can never be judged strong at a glance, but rather creepy stands first.

But at the next moment, Areya's assessment of him changes.

"Oops."

With a slight tone of voice, the earthquake comes from the foot of Aaliyah.

The man who named himself Ignoa had one hand pointed into the wilderness, with an unlikely sight ahead of him.

One by one, the raised ground fills the crater and restores it as if it had rewound time.

Exercise magic very extensively, but also with perfect control from such a distance. That's impossible in humans. No, it's suspicious if even the Demon King can do it.

"It's still going to take a while, shall we introduce ourselves in detail?"

With his back turned to the grumpy areya, Ignoa roughly repeated what he had told Prayer Ri yesterday.

Aaliyah is distracted by the ground to be repaired, but his explanation could be understood for some reason.

Earlier, Ignor, the demon king, was a symbol of despair known to everyone. The story of the rebirth of it being the man in front of it was a hard story to believe, especially for Areya, who has imprinted that education from a young age.

However, it also seemed that the strange phenomenon that spread under his eyes could not be explained without the help of Ignor.

It was this advanced magic control and abundant magic that supported the fact that the man in front of him was Ignor.

At the end of the whole explanation, the wilderness, full of holes in the crater, had been restored to a plain where the original grass grew. The earlier tragedy seems to have been the dream of a butterfly. If he who destroys is unreasonable, he who repairs was also an unreasonable mass.

"Well, did you say areya? Is it true the story of a servant of the prayer mill?

Aliya couldn't answer the abrupt question for a while, but a few seconds later she hacked it back and replied, yeah.

"What's a servant?

"Is it like a slave?"

"How'd it go?

Areya thinks about how far she can go.

Judging from the conversation between Prayer Ri and Ignoa earlier, I can see that the relationship is somewhat intimate, but the vigilance cannot be lifted.

It was said in prayer that, as far as possible, the nature of the skills and the existence of the skills would not be informed. Skill the information you protect with the highest priority, then race, and Areya answers.

"Instead of saving my life, I was offered the condition to be Inori's servant, so this is the form I accepted"

"Can't you tell me the details? Well, that's fine."

To Ignor, who nodded, Aaliyah breathed his inner ho. To see the earlier magic, perhaps even Inori, my husband, would not be appropriate. All you have to do is lie and continue the conversation in a way that hides the information you want to protect at the very least, beyond the right of initiative being over there.

"But I didn't know you pulled in from him. You still seem like a favorite to him."

"Favorite, is it?

"Oh. If it's his sexual roots, he doesn't make the choice to act cheaply with others. How much they liked it."

My favorite, even though they told me, didn't come to Areya with a pin. I have often had my own body looked at or bewitched, but I can hardly remember being asked to have intercourse or tenderness.

"So, what can I do for you?

"No, I was just curious about you originally at his side. I heard what you just said, and you're more interested."

With that said, Ignore lowered her hips doggedly and raked. gestured to sit in the areya with his hands.

Areya hesitated to lower herself directly to the ground a little because of her good growing up, but eventually she broke her leg somewhat and sat back down.

"That's not what his favorite thing is about sexual greed. That's what a normal person would be, but first it's wrong to measure him on the same scale as a normal person."

"Well, I know that,"

In fact, Aliya, who had just felt the extraordinary power of Prayer Ri, nodded honestly.

But Ignor shook his head a little differently.

"I'm not talking about ability or strength. I don't know what kind of power he's gaining right now, but in the end, his most horrible thing is his soul, his spirit, his ideas."

……

That, too, Aliyah had an idea. Neither cold nor emotional. But something is different from others.

Or you could call it "crazy". I do see at a glance that there is something out of the ordinary track.

"I don't suppose something's happened in the past. It's an innate problem. You can call it a psychopath. Well, it's not like the usual psychopaths."

"Specifically, how do you mean it's crazy?

"Hmm, be specific, hey"

After a moment, Ignor replied.

"He likes to be hostile."

"Is that a battle madness?"

"No. They look alike. They're completely different."

Ignor gave a concrete example to the neck tilting areya.

"Let's say there was a pair of men and women who were in love. The man is carefree and hand-worked.

A righteous samurai, for example, would challenge a man to a dignified duel.

If you're a battle freak, take a woman hostage and make a man fight for himself.

If he is a man of abusive thought, he will suffer and kill a woman in front of him. "

In contrast, Ignor continued.

"He would take the woman seriously for the hostage, kill the woman at the moment of hostility, and kill the man lightly with despair"

"............ what?

"No, I know it sounds weird, but he likes to be hostile, and if he is, he's the one who destroys it by any means"

To Ignor, who smiled bitterly, Areya turned a surprise.

"... so how do you connect with my story?

"Mm-hmm. Ultimately, he sees the world in three categories."

With that said, Ignor stood three fingers and explained, folding one by one.

"One is' self ', one is' enemy 'and the last is' thing '"

"... to?

It's not that I don't understand. But Aaliyah uttered a voice that she fell in love with, because she had one doubt.

In other words, which are you?

As he answered that question, Ignor brutally told him.

"You are a 'thing'. After all, he only sees you as his property."

"All… things…"

In the conversation between Ignor and Prayer Ri, the statement "my stuff". It wasn't a metaphor or anything, it was just his perception.

There was a noise with something in it.

The days Aaliyah spent with him were far from her so-called routine, but she was nevertheless going to have a good time.

This is different just because it changes the way you look at it.

"Well, 'things' have 'obstacles' and 'possessions', so it's just the ultimate three."

Ignoa continues the conversation, approximating an areya that silences her like her breath is clogged.

"You'll see when you hear this story. There's an anomaly in his behavior with someone. Even if it's possession, it's not his idea to act with a guy who's not under absolute control."

Ignor took Areya seriously. as if to not foresee its inner, inner, and even deeper essence.

"The 'favorite' for him means he probably smells just like himself. That's why I allow myself to be at my disposal. I mean, maybe..."

Areya had not been able to listen to Ignor properly. Even if I can pick up the sound, I have not been able to chew its contents out in my brain.

But only the next Ignor statement sounded oddly clear. To be poured into your heart with a drool.

"You're as crazy as he is."

"... me, but?

"I can't think of anything else. You look pretty decent on the surface, but at least to some extent, you could have spent some time with him, right? There's no way you're 'decent'."

A sticky fluid flows down my throat. Disgusting things get stained all over your body.

I don't want to admit it, I'm confronted with facts that have distracted me. It was a poison for Aaliyah, to say it was bitter in the mouth of good medicine.

"What do you know about him...? We shouldn't even be dating for long..."

The only word I could finally squeeze out was such an escape.

But Ignor answers instantly.

"At least I know better than you keep looking away."

"Huh!"

"Well, I don't want to fall for you. The advice is that if you keep cheating, you may not be able to take it back. Besides, even though it's crazy, it's not by common standards. It's not just bad."

Now, Ignor continued.

"Prairie, as a human being, is a deadly defect, but as an organism - a being - is close to a finished form"
