□ ■ About her

She's been lying ever since she was born.

◇ ◆

Theresia C. Alter is the third princess of the kingdom.

Shortly after his birth, he lost his mother and was born sick himself.

For that reason my father and my two sisters were particularly drowning in her.

Or maybe because of the doctor's diagnosis of 'probably before adulthood...'

Theresia thought in the shaking cage of the people who became such a source of love and sorrow.

(You were born like that this time (...))

She already had an established self at a time when her brain was immature and could not have been materialized or anything else.

It's as if you have an organ for thought and memory, besides a living organ called the brain.

In fact, she has a vessel (...) for it.

Job - I need a vessel called Special Super Position [Evil God].

[Evil God] is the calling water of.

Half a body and half a god.

Part of the former administrator's legacy to impose a test on this world.

Therefore, there is a mechanism that can be described as a special case during the special case.

The difference with other jobs, including special super positions, is five functions.

First, the retention of historical [evil gods] memories and the thought of the job itself as an alternative brain.

Secondly, automatic leveling through resource absorption from the world.

Third, complete cover-up of information relating to [evil gods] to a certain level.

Fourth, invincibility to foreign objects that did not exist in the scope of the.

Fifth, foundation status and skills enhancement for each generation passed.

(I was just born but I already feel tired of living)

The biggest problem for Theresia is memory retention.

Only memory does not include personality, her personality is hers only... but memory and personality are not completely irrelevant.

Having memories of the [evil gods] of history, but therefore she has already learned so much… that she has been forced to raise that spiritual age.

Had the function of memory and thought not had some mental protection, my heart would have been broken early in life.

Still, she was already exhausted because of the memories she had been killed without exception.

At the same time, I understand.

[Evil God] says that he is the one who must eventually die.

Because if [Evil Gods] do not die, < End > will descend and the world may perish.

But [Evil God] cannot commit suicide or self-harm, and if danger looms, his job skills will automatically react.

When I grow up, someone always kills me to do the world harm by just being present.

Some of the [evil gods] of history wait quietly for the end, while others strip the world of their fangs.

The [evil god] defeated by Teresian ancestors was the latter, and the newborn Teresian is the former.

Memories are supposed to be similar, but they behave differently, I'm sure because the soul is different.

I knew that eventually I would find out who I was and be killed.

Theresia tried to wait quietly one day for it to end...... I thought about it right after birth.

So until I found out... I thought I'd lie.

◆

About a year after her birth, Theresia understood her surroundings.

(Sister Ultimia is [Holy Sword Princess]. That sword makes it easy to slash my neck with a level below)

I thought of the cause of death of my predecessors [evil gods] and several other [evil gods], and Theresia concluded so.

[Original Holy Sword] is now < UBM >... a mixture of foreign objects, but its power to slash all things makes even the invincibility of [Evil God] appear mutilated.

In the first place, that sword was specially prepared by those who [evil gods] created the world as well. On top of that, if it is supposed to 'slay all things', I can slay [evil gods] in an attempt to degenerate them.

A picture book to be read by Teresia in a shaky cage...... I was also guessing that would happen from the contents of the most famous story in the Kingdom of Alter.

(The holder cannot be separated from the divine remains that sleep on the earth. You're sensing that the next [evil god (I)] will be born in this land, and you're immediately telling him that he can be slashed to death with [the original Holy Sword]. Neither did your ancestors think that their descendants would be [evil gods])

The main body of the... sleeps beneath the king's capital.

It is unclear whether at the time [Holy Sword King] knew the rule that [Evil God] would be born in a place not so far away from < End >, but it is correct as to what to do.

If you are an early [Evil God] opponent, it is most efficient to snap your neck with the [Original Holy Sword].

Growing up, the ability to defend by skill increases, and that's what the blade won't arrive without exhausting its dying power, as it once did [Holy Sword King].

(Increased levels… little by little)

It's harder to get to a level now than when you were born.

Why, because an epidemic junction was strewn over the castle for the sick and weak Theresia.

Although the resources of the dead absorbed by [Theresia] from the world were not the original subject, most of the dead resources that were supposed to be sucked were shut out because the curse system state anomaly was also an alarming junction.

(The resources that weren't sucked will naturally return, so I guess there's no problem.... No, the pace was slower than the [evil gods] of history before the junction was put up in the first place.... Well, it's not even a world of war right now, so I guess it's natural)

Theresia's thought is one reason, but the real reason is otherwise.

Theresia has no reason to know, but a mechanism is in place to absorb floating resources at the savepoint of the Wang Capital. The mechanism used by the management AIs to alert [evil gods] was slowing her level up.

(... I don't mind. I've never been too late, because if I get to the next level, I'm done. Wouldn't make a big difference though)

Previously on [Evil God], before he turned five, he was in danger, his safety came off, and his first awakening occurred.

Then it becomes clear that Teresia is an [evil god], even if it is hidden from skills such as "Nursing".

If that happens, they'll kill you later.

(Then taste the privileged life of today.

Theresia sincerely thought so.

Theresia liked Ultimia, even though she knew she was the one who would kill herself sooner or later, as well as Elizabeth, her father and near-older sister.

Until this point, the environment blessed with love and things was not found in the [evil gods] of history.

(Speaking of which... my predecessors were children of poor houses)

My predecessors were born in the slums of a devastated industrial capital, a house like selling children and going through the winter.

I had brothers, but remember they sold me somewhere and I didn't see them that well...

(………… no, I wonder how it went)

I almost remembered something, but I couldn't.

Not all of them, but the memories of the [evil gods] of history are so faint that they age.

Maybe that's what [evil gods] memories are when the madness they embrace exceeds the limits of basic spiritual protection and is no longer sane.

In any case, few were born as [evil gods] and lived happily ever after.

Good... about the one who was convincingly killed.

So it's not bad for Teresia to spend her time as a third princess before she dies as a [evil god] again... I made my policy with some withered thought.

Trying to keep telling the lie that I am just a sick third princess for a while now.

(Though you'll find out in just a few years anyway)

◇ ◆

Then nearly four years later, Teresia shrugged with a view across the glass window that she would turn five this year.

"... too dizzy."

A princess, and was born sick and weak.

To this end, he was raised most generously in this world as far as he could think.

That's what keeps you away from all hazards......

"Good luck..."

Until this year, I didn't think I'd find out it was [evil god].

Normally, safety is removed by external enemies such as monsters and wars, and some of the power of the [Evil God] is freed.

Many [evil gods] have been out of safety in their childhood and have since been killed.

But Theresia is a princess.

Safety didn't come off because I was indoors all the time without danger, and I wasn't even noticed.

Nobody in this world except her... Nobody in this world, including those looking for [evil gods], knows she is [evil gods].

(You can't hurt yourself or commit suicide, and you can't believe me when I say [evil god]. You won't hear me if I tell you)

Not only is Theresia [evil god] invisible in The Breakthrough, but she is also hidden from her words.

It sounds like a different or meaningless word to try to speak, and it won't even seem old and unnatural.

For some reason, the inheritance about [evil gods] is also quite simplified and missing, so it is likely that you will not understand it in the first place.

(I wonder if [Evil God] will be complete if it stays this way... But at the pace of this level up...... it's going to be decades away)

She can feel her level up on her skin.

From [evil gods] a few generations ago, the world began to display status. Until then, I could only judge the use or sensation of certain skills, but now anyone can be objective.

But [Evil God] 's status is somehow camouflaged by herself in its visible form, and she can only sensibly grasp her true level.

And in terms of sensation...... it was thought that perhaps even thirty levels had not yet been reached.

That is clearly slow to level compared to history.

I also thought that after a moment, it might be the first place to die of illness or death.

…………

Just a little bit on that futuristic forecast somehow...... Theresia got warmer breasts.

That's because I felt like it was the most hopeful way to end.

"Your Highness Teresia, what is it?

A maid of honor speaks to Theresia, whose cheeks have become slightly red.

"It's a good idea. Just a little warm."

"I've been getting cheerful lately."

To the samurai. She returned the proper words of lies.

But the samurai... The samurai, who also held the True and False Judgment as the Princess's escort, does not realize the lie.

It was also a characteristic of Theresia as [evil god].

Even the True and False Judgment cannot discern her lies, as it falsifies The Nursing.

In this world where lies are restricted by skill, Theresia was a free lying person.

It was a trivial story compared to the much bigger lie (camouflage) she still hasn't found out.

"Step back to your navel, I'll take care of you."

"Yes, I understand."

When Theresia said so, the samurai began to carry her in a larger nanny.

…………

Sick - in fact, you can afford [evil god] status - in order to be yourself, a long trip from the room is used a nanny, not your own foot.

That was just a little dissatisfaction with Theresia.

I was wondering if there was at least one way to get around that looked a little better... a girl with huge memories and less than five years of real age strongly thought.

◆

"Then, Your Highness Teresia, I will be waiting in the next room."

"Thanks"

Exchanging such words with the samurai who carried Theresia to her room, Theresia becomes alone in her own room.

Her room was queenly sumptuous and at the same time clean.

The bed with the canopy is bedded with adorable stuffed animals from two sisters.

A bell is placed by the bed to call the maid in the next room for when something happens.

But her gaze was... fixed on the bed and her own midpoint.

And she opens her mouth......

"Who are you?

Towards a space where no one... I said so.

To the voice of Theresia, which only the air hears,

"- You've been called first."

The voice of an unfamiliar man answered.

Immediately afterwards, a green coat emerges in the space where nothing was supposed to have happened.

The person wearing the coat takes it off without a sound... thank Theresia.

"This my name is Zex Würfel"

Somewhere with dark hair, a man with an indescribable appearance named himself,

- I'm here to get you, Princess Teresia.

I mouthed a line like an opera.

"Nice words. Junen, the garlic is warm."

The man who came to grab himself - to Zex, Theresia calmly returned that.

…………

Zex looked at Teresia like that - he would be surprised if he knew him later - but he opened his eyes and looked at him jizzily.

And this is what I asked.

"Excuse me. Are you sure you're the third princess of the kingdom?

"That's right. I wonder why you're here.

"Because it just looked like a bucket (...) right now"

………… That's not what I call a lady. "

"Right. Excuse me."

Returning the words gently, Theresia was strengthening the heartbeat of her own life.

(Has he found out that it's [Evil God]? Why? In the first place, who is this guy...?

Throughout her gaze to find out who the other person was, Theresia found a crest on the back of Zex's left hand.

Just a round...... a simple crest just a grain of water balls.

But that's why it's going to change shape to anything, a symbol of water.

"Are you, < master >?

"Yes, I started last month"

Theresia had also heard about the fact that more < masters > had begun to grow about a month earlier.

And < master > means something else in her.

([Cat God] 's kind...... right)

Once [evil god] fought < master >, [cat god].

Fighting him to use the Split Embrio, but [Evil God] received no slight scratches.

Theresia knows that's one of the properties of [evil gods], invincibility to foreign objects.

(The foreign body outside. You can never hurt me. The reason why such a < master > comes into contact with me, which is now the [evil god]... what?

In too opaque a situation, Theresia continues the conversation to get information.

"Was that your < embrio > just now?

"No. It's a reward weapon. I was originally an anecdotal chameleon and my name was...... [phonetic tone beast soundcolorless]. When I encountered it, I was swallowed whole (...) without realizing it"

…………

I learned a slight discrepancy in sensibility to a man speaking with a laugh of words synonymous with "dead" in front of me

"That's why (...), now this is my perk weapon"

……

"I'd rather hear it from this one of mine...... how did you notice?

…………

It is inevitable that Theresia noticed Zex concealing himself with privileged weapons.

The effect of Zex's privileged weaponry is to disperse the sound and color of the wearer into false spaces. It is with great power that I was able to enter the Teresian room.

However, the reward weapon… because it is an item derived from a mixture of foreign powers < UBM >, the effect cannot be exerted on the [evil god] Theresia either.

In Theresia, I could see a Zex that wasn't supposed to be visible.

"... that's right"

Theresia just thinks a little......

"Because I [■ ■]"

I revealed who I was - but that didn't reach Zex's ear.

(After all, even their camouflage is working. Then why did you just say something stupid? No, if you don't know I'm an [evil god], how come I'm here...?

Even when one is revealed, the mystery becomes even more continuous.

Theresia therefore asks.

"Why do you take me away?

directly, to Theresia, who asked the motive,

'Cause that's a felony in this country, too.'

Zex uttered a word that seemed ultimately light... not a motive.

"... Huh?

"This I commit a felony in my kingdom to be a bad man. It was to kidnap you if you think about what a felony is for that matter. That's why I'm here."

Kidnap a princess who is a felony to commit a sin.

If Zex was right, he was aiming for a crime that had nothing to gain from the integration of purpose and means.

Theresia has never seen such a strange opponent... [Evil Gods] before.

(I wonder if that's what it is...)

But even if it has a strange thought circuit, it's a deal enough to sneak into the private room of Teresia, which is also heavily guarded inside the castle.

Teresia turns her mind around how she handled it.

(The Master cannot harm me. You will not be killed or hurt. But that's why...)

I can't even leave it alone, but if Theresia raised her voice here, a samurai in the next room would come in weirdly aware... and thought Zex could kill her.

But that's how Teresia is turning her thoughts around.

"Something to worry about, let me grab it for a second"

Zex's voice was heard directly behind him (...) and a wet cloth was pressed against his mouth.

"Huh..."

(i) Within breathing, Teresian consciousness is rapidly lost.

Just before the interruption of consciousness, Theresia saw Zex talking to herself until she was on the brink and... Zex pushing a cloth against herself.

It was a sight where the two Zexes existed at the same time.

◇ ◆

"………………"

It's been about two hours since Theresia's consciousness broke...... Theresia woke up.

As soon as she regained consciousness, Theresia realized that she had been put to sleep with medication.

Where we are now... is a space that Teresia has never seen before.

A small cabin made of wood and a forest visible out the window.

Although Teresia, who has lived in the castle, has never actually seen it, she speculated from the memories of the [evil gods] of history that it might be a wooden shed or something.

He was taken out of the castle while he was sleeping… I understand that he was also sleeping in a cabin in the Noz Forest, close to the king's capital.

The fact that Teresia, the [evil god], was put to sleep in the first place by < master >, a foreign object, was unusual in itself… Teresia immediately recalled the answer (...).

(... oh. Speaking of which, there was such an exception (...))

Foreign objects cannot cause harm against [evil gods].

However, there are three exceptions.

First, to use such power as to distort the laws of [evil gods] as [the original Holy Sword].

Next, for each [evil god] foundation… the point is to put the whole world under influence.

And the easiest and most likely thing to do is… use Tian's made consuming items.

Consumption items handled by Tian, such as medicines that Teresia has been sniffed, or [Gems] of attack magic, have effects on [Evil Gods] even when used by < Master >, who is foreign.

It is only a phenomenon of Tian's handmade items where foreign objects are not involved, as it is invalid if the items and materials dropped directly by the conversion system from the monster are mixed.

Coincidentally, the medicines used by Zex were of that kind.

(I guess it wouldn't have worked if I had a higher level as a [evil god], but the level is low, and it doesn't seem like it would have worked now that the safety isn't off......)

That safety is still not off.

I realize that my body didn't have a single scratch, at least it wasn't harmed.

He doesn't look like Zex, but maybe he's telling the castle that he kidnapped Theresia and making some kind of demand like a criminal.

…………

Theresia has one question about the Zex.

That was just before I lost my mind...... there were two Zexes.

(There are more than one human being...... If you're not another person or twin who shaped his face, it's because of his own skills. What I see is not a hallucination, but an entity. Or "The Art of Shadow Split" by Zex. No way a human would have split (...) like a slime...)

Teresia also did not realize at this stage that the "no way" was the right answer, etc.

Unaware, I was circling my thoughts wondering what that was... but I notice the unexpected.

"... it's up (...)"

her own sense she felt...... her own true level.

I understand that the level of stagnation here for a while rose while I was asleep.

But it was also natural.

This is neither the castle protected by the junction nor the king's capital where the savepoint of the mechanism for collecting resources was placed.

It is in the midst of a map of nature, and the resources of the dead are gathered in [Evil Gods].

Just being here shrinks her time limit a little bit.

Still, now I just get my status up and I don't have the skills themselves......

…………

If you are exposed to danger in this case, your safety will come off and your powers (skills) as an [evil god] will be released.

The first thing that opens up is the Family Denaturation, which denatures the peripheral material.

Depending on her danger, she will automatically denature the surrounding stone giveaways and trees into monsters...... family members and become protective of herself.

If that happens, it will also reveal who Teresia is, and she will die.

It doesn't matter to Theresia in itself. I calmly believe that the world is better than doomed.

The truth is, I had a pale expectation of completing Tensei, but if it's not possible, I can't help it.

(The problem is that my sister Ultimia is studying abroad now. [Original Holy Sword] Without it...... I wonder if you could break through my automatic defense and kill me)

Theresia sighed with her giving up as she worried about those who would kill herself.

Ten or eighty-nine, there will be many victims.

As things stand, I can't move out of this cabin if I try to avoid it.

The cabin level can be easily destroyed even in today's Teresian status.

But Teresia cannot return to the castle alone without avoiding danger.

Even if you skip the Zex thing, walk the monster's sprawling map and you'll be attacked.

In that case - even if there is actually no harm because of the status of Teresia and its invincibility to foreign objects - the safety comes off in response to the danger.

I guess Zex didn't know anything about Theresia or anything like that, but the crude hut in the woods served as a cage for Theresia, the [evil god].

(... at least I hope you're someone who can take me to the castle while you protect me)

But without such a convenient opponent showing up, she sighed to mock herself immediately.

Such a fold, she noticed a small sound.

"... Ama?

Potty potpourri and the sound of rain grains slamming the roof of a wooden cabin.

It stabilized with momentum that strengthened slightly, but never became too strong.

Over the wall of a wooden cabin, she hears the sound.

"... I've never had a temper."

Sick and weak, she stayed in the castle the whole time. There was everything about her in the castle, and there was no excessive longing because the outside world knew it in the memory of the [evil gods] of history.

So I'd never seen her feel so close to the rain.

(I don't know why it would be so peaceful if I felt like a May fly.)

So for the time being, she closed her eyes and cleared her ears.

Was it less than a minute, a few minutes, or longer, after an obscure amount of time in her subjectivity?

"... you're here"

The sound that reached my ear mixed other than the sound of rain.

Footsteps running wet ground in the rain are heading for this cabin.

(Zex is back.... I wonder what it's going to be like)

In exchange for ransom, or being handed over to somewhere, or if it's a felony charge, I might try to kill him.

For starters, Teresia imagined the thought of that lunatic, wondering if the only reason it was kidnapping was to double the sin with kidnapping and murder (...).

Apart from whether that was the right answer, Theresia had the impression that "it's not weird to do that" to Zex.

(Zex can't kill [the evil god (me)], but the safety will work. I guess I'll be a princess in a few minutes)

And the lies she's been following since she was born, that's it.

Afterwards, it threatens the world.

Apart from being able to crusade Theresia, there's no chance she could live her life so far.

(... Still, you've been blessed compared to previous [evil gods])

Theresia thinks like that to comfort herself.

But she said she was waiting for Zex to come into the cabin with her giving up and being ready... never to come inside the cabin.

On the contrary, it looks like he's struggling somewhat in front of the cabin door.

Is the chatter and the sound of messing with metal even trying to open the lock hung on this cabin?

…… If it was Zex who locked me in, he'd have about the key. Did you drop the key...?

The noise of chatter continues for a while.

As she heard that, Theresia noticed.

(... maybe)

When she tried to think about that answer,

"Funko! No more patience, bear!

With some communal rage, I heard a metal lock break.

Shortly afterwards, the door opened with the poorly erected sound of Gigigi… one large shadow came into the cabin.

"I just wanted to stay in the rain because it's raining, why is the bear locked in the cabin? He said the old man with the wooden dust had nothing to be stolen and it wasn't locked............ yeah?

…………

That was somehow a black dog tailing the phrase "bear"...... or a wolf dressing.

The bright black, blocky furrows were somehow only red on the back.

Of course, it's not Zex.

"Why is the little one alone in here, Bear?

"... you are. Is that it?

I found that there was no indication of the name over its head via the humanities and it was not a monster.

But I don't know who it is.

against Theresia, who therefore asked,

"I'm Shu. Bear... not one.

Named Shu, he finally corrected his tail and said so.

"No? Kuma?

"Humans.... now it's wolf dressing one. Until a while ago, I was wearing a bear, so I'm still out of habit, Kwan. '

"... Kusu"

Theresia laughed just a little bit at the funnyness of the tail that still mixes with saying so.

At the same time, I wonder if this is just a passing pass, unrelated to that Zex.

"Ma, if I took it from your child, it wasn't useless to make a mistake. So what's your daughter's name?

"I..."

Theresia was only a little troubled by the name,

"I am T. I was here when I found out."

I replied with a pseudonym that I thought about on the spot.

If you put out the name Theresia, you might be noticed as a princess.

Even Schu, who has nothing to do with Zex, might change his behavior if Theresia finds out he's a princess.

That's why Theresia named her pseudonym.

(Anyway, no one notices the lies of the [evil god (I)])

"Hmm. So, what's your real name, Bear? I need you to tell me. It's hard to find your parents. One. '

"Huh?"

The shock at that time must have been the biggest since Teresia was born.

The degree of impact is much stronger than when it was relative to that Zex.

"What, why... you're lying, what else? What about Shingihani...?

"I don't have one of those."

"Then why...!?

Even the highest level of True and False Judgment cannot discern the lies of the [Evil Gods].

Yet how could Shu see through it, Theresia asks with genuine confusion...

"I can't believe the lady doesn't have an attachment to that name in one shot. One. And then I was shaking my eyes, and when I named him, I thought about it for a second, and then I was talking to him. '

…………

Not a skill.

But it is classified as a sense skill… due to his own experience and intuition, Shu was at times a force of his own to beat out more accuracy than his skills.

The lies of Theresia ([Evil God]), deceiving every skill and hidden from all of the world... were revealed by the power of Shu individuals.

"Ma, I can't help but trust Niechan, the dresser who suddenly came out. But I'm the one who wants to give you a proper home with the lady" I was here when I realized it ".

…………

Theresia worried about how to take Shu's words.

Neither does Teresia herself have a "verdict of authenticity".

So I don't even know if Shu's words are good intentions or lies.

But Theresia...

"My, truly you... Theresia"

Theresia chose to speak the truth.

I thought to tell Shu, who had seen through my lies, now the words in truth, not lies.

"Teresia Celestite Alter"

"Its name......"

With Theresia naming herself her full name, Shu also understands who she is.

"Hey, Mr. Kigurumi.... I need a favor."

To him like that, Theresia keeps saying.

That's a wish that leads to what she herself gave up earlier.

As always, the way to stay alive with your family as Third Princess Theresia.

Possibility of a hopeful ending.

"What?"

"I am an uncle... but I am very obscure..."

…………

"Home... can you give me a break?

'There are no two words. I'm your daughter...... I'm taking Teresia home. Leave it to me, Bear. "

At Teresia's request, Shu replied so.

There is no hesitation there.

Shu had guessed that Theresia was a princess and that Theresia had some major situation.

Still, Shu declared that he would deliver her.

[Quest - [Guard - Teresia C. Alter Difficulty: VII] has occurred]

[Please check the quest screen for quest details]

And then came the announcement that marked the beginning of the quest.

◇ ◆ ◇

□ ■

'… odd'

"What's up, Dormouth?"

"Resource movement around Noz Forest is strange."

"Noz Forest? Speaking of which, I calculated the difficulty of a strange quest in Noz Forest earlier."

"Strange quest?

"It's a quest to send the kidnapped Third Princess to the castle. There's a killer on the map who kidnapped the princess, and some fierce UBM roaming information, so I assigned him seven."

…………

"Do you care?

"Hmm. I'm going to see how it goes. Maybe... we'll find who we were looking for. '

◇ ◆

It starts here.

A case later called the Third Princess kidnapping.

In that vortex, Teresia gets to meet those who will know her secrets.

[King of Crimes] after kidnapping her, Zex Würfel.

[Destroyer King] after helping her, Shu Sterling.

And management AI, Dormouth, who plays a protective role beside her after this incident.

It was the opening of a great event in which even causes other than [evil gods] began.

To be Next Scene
