Kaiko Sareta Ankoku Heishi (30-dai) no Slow na Second Life

"Huh!?"

In response to what I had not expected, I had to lose my word and be dismayed.

I didn't expect you to say no.

It is the Apostle of Valhalla and former valiant Mr. Esterica who resolutely rejects it.

"What are you going to do?

It was Ida who protested and pinched her mouth.

"If you're referring to the cooperation of the present world, you should expect him. I thought that's why you came here?

I think so, too.

"No."

Still, Mr. Esterica was stubborn.

"The reason we visited here is first to apologize for a series of indulgences from Ida. Secondly, to install cooperation to move quickly through our human territory. I won't ask for any further help."

"But...!?"

Why do you refuse to cooperate so directly with me?

"Huh? Huh? What?"

The droyer was bewildered watching a series of exchanges.

I guess he still thinks he's a backward support specialist who can't use magic about me because he hasn't seen me fight in person yet.

"Mr. Esterica, I want you to explain"

I'll get myself started.

"It turns out Inferno is a worldwide threat that is neither personal nor settlement level. You want me to leave him alone and pretend I don't see him?

I can't do that.

This is still me, under the guidance of Lady Granburza, who has inherited Mr. Aranzil's lineage.

We have to deal with a spreading crisis to lose benevolence.

"Still no good. You must have something to protect with more priority. There's something you can only protect..."

That's what they say. It's Marika and Gran's face that crosses the back of their brain.

But......

"There are many fathers in this world who try to protect their wives in the same way. They have strength and weakness, too, and when Inferno shows up in front of them, I don't know if I can protect them."

Isn't that why I have to protect you instead?

Powerful me.

…………

"Huh!?"

Mr. Esterica's hand touched my cheek.

It was abrupt, so it was a surprise.

"From whom did you inherit that sense of justice?

Huh?

Even if they say so...!?

Mr. Aranzil sees it and only fights for personal reasons, and if I strongly mention it, is it Master Gran Burza?

But if he thinks deeply about it, is the motive for the battle a sense of purpose?

"I'm proud to be the person you can think of to capture the world and how you can make it better. But you mustn't move from here. Protect your family."

"But...!?"

"Remember, what we made you hear. Inferno's chief, Doris Meguian."

……

Doris Meguian of 'Sandfire', who assumes the central role of the Phantom named Inferno.

In his lifetime, he, the Four Heavenly Kings of Fire, reached the treasure of extremes of flame magic, of converting a man's soul into heat by magic.

"Why do you think the Infernos didn't challenge him right after they escaped from hell? You think you've caused a bunch of incidents in human territory that have nothing to do with anything?

"... ugh!?"

Indeed.

Brainwashing the Three Brave Men to rob Mithrills, sending a large number of unnamed thugs to Lax Village, raiding Fortress Lasparda......

Why did he do that?

Nothing at first sight to do with the ultimate goal of defeating the Demon King......!?

... No?

"They crave, the soul of someone who should be a flame magic flame. Because I know I can't beat him at this stage."

"Are you saying that the incident they've made so far was to prepare them to fight the Demon King?

The center of Inferno, Doris Meguian, can convert a person's soul itself into heat.

So if we simply gather many people and fuel their souls......

...... I can create enough ultra-high heat flames to counter the Demon King!?

"You seem to have thought of it, it turns my head..."

Mr. Esterica was somewhere satisfied.

"But it doesn't seem to mean anything to Doris Meguian as long as he's a soul. The heat conversion has a huge impact on the emotions that the soul generates."

"Emotions...!?"

Mind and soul are inseparable.

The emotions expressed by the mind affect the soul greatly, too?

"The emotions most suitable to produce disorderly and vicious flames are anger, hatred. It is those negative passions that they prefer."

Because it can produce strong flames.

"It seems to them that the one who ruled his mind by hatred is the best nourishment. and if the amount of aura and magic originally held is high."

So the series of incidents that Inferno has had so far...!?

To capture people's souls as such excellent fuels......!?

At the time of the Mithril robbery by the Three Brave Men, the brainwashing magic ravaged emotions eating the Mithril, and the amount of underlying aura was jumping out of step.

The brainwashing magic had made the braves look like hostile beasts, and given the aura amount boosted by even more misrillic intake, wouldn't it have been a really delicious treat?

For the Infernos.

"I wasn't just eating it, I was changing it to make it more nutritious for me...!?"

Loselwy, the center guild director, would also have been quite an excellent nutrient with a small amount of aura but a chunk of meritorious selfishness.

Inferno's leaps are all for that...!?

Were you craving power against the Demon King and eating and fishing for the souls of others? A soul anointed with hate...!?

"... ha!?"

So, what was the intent of the attack on the village of Lax?

He used Roselwi's ambitions to send many rogue thugs into the village of Lax to try to screw up the village.

While I'm away.

I can't believe the benefits of doing that to him...!?

The benefit to him is the soul of the hateful strong...!?

"You seem to have noticed it yourself. Excellent."

"Of that case, Inferno was after me...!?"

I have a luxurious amount of aura to give way to, Mr. Aranzil.

If my heart were ruled by hatred like that, it would be a treat for the outfit.

"Is that why you attacked the village of Lax...!? If you destroy the village and kill Marika or Gran...!

That's what makes me mad, everything in my heart can be repainted with hate.

That was the aim and purpose of Inferno.

"If you had hatred in your heart, you would have been an excellent comrade to us."

That's what I was saying, Siegfriegel, who had Inferno's lead at the time.

I finally know what the word means.

And that's all that makes me angry.

"Keep your emotions down."

Mr Esterica told me.

"You seem to have inherited not only your broken aura abilities but your passion from your father. Emotional twists sometimes make people stronger, but they also create dangerous brittleness. It's important to control it."

She's right.

I took a deep breath and fixed my emotions.

"... Inferno is cornered. Even weak. That's why I want my soul more than ever to regain my strength. There's a good chance you'll be targeted again."

If my heart were ruled by hate, it would be an unparalleled treat for Inferno.

To thrust me into hatred...

"So you mustn't move from the village. You protect your family with your own hands. That's your choice, isn't it?

Mr. Esterica's sermon, for some reason, gets twice as stained in the chest.

It involved more persuasion than words.

"Inferno's crusade will definitely come through with us having its mission. So you do your duty. Protect what you must protect."

"You're right..."

Inferno could come here.

If I don't intercept then.

To protect my most important home and family...
