Isekai Sozo no Susu-me ~ Sumahoapuri de Wakusei o Tsukutte Shimatta Ore wa Kami to Nari Sekai o Meguru

The figure of Nasery I found was already worn out and somehow crawled beside the corpse of an already-dead superior aristocrat and thinker.

Argus, who sees it, tries to rush to a glance, but stops.

Because beside it lay a masked man wrapped in a black robe, gripping the heart of a nobleman who would have just killed him.

"Oh, no, this is a lot of customers.... my purpose has already been reached, and if you don't even come, there's no use for this place anymore? What do you say we pull each other apart first?"

The mysterious man brings a suggestion that at first glance also seems beneficial, but waited there but it takes.

"Don't be done, Argus!! This guy, this guy is everything, the culprit!! Now, if we don't stop here, it's gonna be a big deal!

Nasery, who is supposed to be a full-blown creation, screams and prompts warning.

Argus, on the other hand, set up a book of magic and took a state of imminent battle as to whether there was a verse in the word that came to mind.

But this is only to the extent of a one-off battle posture.

"... the culprit, or are you the superior demon clan? I can't stop the cold sweat just now."

"Come on, this guy's a sage. He's stronger than us."

The two of them feel that the other person is superior to their instincts.

I can't seem to win no matter how much I raise in my current power.

Maybe if you are prepared to crush the balls, you can take it as much as a match, combined with being two-on-one.

Had there been no escape, there would have been such a hand.

Fortunately, however, they are proposing to apply for a temporary truce and re-compartmentalize each other.

I don't know why you have such an attitude, but it was a great opportunity if only for rescue purposes.

The choice is one in two.

Help Nasery for sure, or sacrifice all three of us on this occasion for the whole country. But do you want to punish the Demons here?

If here, assuming Nasery is taken, this great power will surely be caught in the vortex of war.

A sub, who was supposed to have been a prisoner, escaped, and the nobleman, who was supposed to have been captured, died.

What that means is a decisive division between the humans and the subhumans, a cut off from the war.

Perhaps this demon tribe killed the upper nobility with its own hands, aiming for it.

"Well, what will you do, Lord Sage? If you're going to fight, I'll let you handle that a lot. Of course, it's not free for you and me, but it's not as good as losing."

The Demons can afford to, no, either long enough to ask that question.

But it didn't have to be said, Argus' heart was set.

"... ok. Let's pull this off."

"Ah, Gus!! What, so!

Naserie is stunned by the words, but Kensei took the answer in such an atmosphere as he was convinced.

Apparently, within his assumptions, no, it was the answer as expected.

"Well, that's no choice in this situation. Once we get back to shaking it out, we won't be able to do it like it is now, even if we think about it militarily. More importantly, I don't even want to think that the kind of guy who abandons his people here is my comrade."

"... sorry"

"Don't apologize, sage, it's not like you."

The Demons are convinced that the two agree, and disappear into black magic as they pull themselves away.

"Great.... you won't ever meet again, but whispering, I've got some souvenirs for both of you. Enjoy yourself, good day."

…………

Confirm complete disappearance with its eyes and magic sensation, then rush under the injured and fallen Nasery for restorative magic.

Then the wound heals as if it regenerates backwards, instantly recovering to normal flesh.

But what's the matter, after a while the black magic stains and discolors from her body as if it were erosion that should have healed.

"What's happening!?

"It's no use, Argus. That demon put a weird ritual on me. He said it was a ritual of demonization, but... I don't know the details. But then you can't walk outside properly."

Yes, this is what the Devil's Souvenir was all about.

Argus regretted finding out about it.

If I had seen more reality without failing to investigate them, I might have noticed my aim without being alarmed.

That should have allowed her to escape to other continents beforehand, at least.

I could have grabbed my tail early if I had skipped the sweetness to my enemies and wasted even more effort and confined myself to more results alone.

If we had done that from the beginning, we wouldn't have even created a trigger for war.

All of them were too late regrets, arising from the fact that I had been too sweet before.

"Hey, why are you crying? I'm not like you. The whole subpeople of this country and on the scale. But I was actually glad you chose me. Cheer up."

"Sorry."

"That's why I said it's okay. This isn't enough to change your appearance a little bit. I'm sure there's no obstacle to life itself."

Argus can't even see Naserie's face hanging her words on herself, just apologizing.

And while driven by strong regret, he was determined at the same time.

There's never been a fire in that heart before, ready to light.

At this moment he was reborn in a way.

"I,... no, I will definitely find the art of unlocking your ritual of demonization. Throw everything away. But I'll definitely accomplish it and show it. If my strength is not enough, I will use the help of others. With the help of research institutes, with the help of living legends, with the help of the heroes of the continent"

"... what if it still doesn't work?

Argus continues.

"If you can't, use the power of the world tree passed down to the Heritage, use the power of the Dragon God.... If it still doesn't work, I'll use the God of Creation and the power of doing it"

"Regardless of the world tree or dragon god, even though you really don't know if there's a god of creation?

"It doesn't matter, I still find out. I'll tie up the partnership with this hand, and I'll definitely undo Nasery. And one day the war will stop and show.... I promise."

Naserie, who heard that, shrugged and smiled just, well, that sounded like Argus.

I'm sure she's the only one who can tell that, there must have been something similar to certainty.

And then ten years later, he will meet a boy who is a subhuman country on the next continent.

Is that encounter accidental or inevitable?

The only thing I know is that he got an important knowledge of demonization from the boy.

This is the only story of Argus Lockhart, the best sage and realist in the world, who succeeded in unlocking the demonization ritual.
