Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?

S16 Disturbance sneaking into the shadow of peace

Hugo stopped showing his face in class since then.

Looks like I'm staying inside the school, but I haven't seen Hugo since that incident.

I asked Sue or Katia and it was the same.

"I got my hands on my brother, I wish I was dead"

"Sue. Don't say anything rare. But I'm not convinced you're not to blame."

Apparently, the killers who attacked the Paltons ended up harming themselves without throwing up any information.

In the holding cell I was temporarily holding, I didn't seem ready to make you confess.

Incidentally, certain items are used when compelling confessions in a case that seems important.

It is a curse with the magical power of the outer path, which is said to be forbidden.

External magic is said to be the magic that offends the soul and is given a ban by the Church on obtaining it.

Those with this magical skill are captured by the Church and placed under Church control for the rest of their lives or executed.

Of course, items with such outward magic powers are strictly controlled by the church, but it is permissible to apply to the church for use and use them if the contents of the application are deemed reasonable.

Even in this case, the killers were supposed to use that item to force their confessions after they were transferred to the King's Capital.

I guess their self-harm was in anticipation of that.

It made me realize once again that this world is different from the world of previous life.

"Even if we could not prove our relationship with the Raiders, it is true that the person attacked the royalty of another country. Don't you think it's odd that that's not guilty of anything?

I can't answer Katia's question.

Sure, it doesn't change the fact that I was attacked by him.

Still, I didn't blame him.

It was unthinkable in Japan.

"Nothing's wrong with me. Because that's the world we live in."

It was Yuri who answered Katia's question.

"Shun, you won't notice because you're in that position. The identity of this world is a lot stronger than everyone else thinks. I'm a former orphan and a civilian, so I've seen quite a bit of that. Some of them were executed for hurting their beaten hands in a statement beaten by nobles. There was a family member who had been executed for selling vegetables with insects. If that's all we're talking about, it's all over the world."

Not only me, Katia was out of line.

Maybe we didn't know anything about the world.

"Differences in identity are absolute differences. Hugo, you are the next emperor of one of the world's leading powers. It's easy to make a case like this."

Katia with a bitter face.

I would have looked similar.

"So true equality is only in the Word of God. The Word of God discriminates against no one. The Word of God benefits all equally. The Word of God is the truth of this world, the light that encompasses everything!

Leave Yuri, who started tripping.

If this happens, no more.

Continue to talk about the splendour of the divine word even without a listener.

The first one was dating and listening, but now I'm better at pretending to listen and listening.

Think of Hugo as you listen to Yuri's divine praise that sparkled your eyes.

What happens to him in the future?

Lower status and lost all skills.

Probably like me, I even lost the skills of an emperor I would have had at birth.

All that remained was an ineffective "n % I = W" skill.

The teacher didn't just erase this skill.

Did you leave it on purpose, or couldn't you turn it off?

This mysterious skill is apparently unique to us reincarnators.

Both Katia and Yuri possess this skill.

And probably the teacher, too.

What the hell does this skill mean?

However, nothing like this skill has worked so far.

A skill that just shows no effect whatsoever.

It's like there's no such thing.

Given that, Hugo would have lost practically all of his skills.

Status is lower demon class.

I don't have the skills I can count on.

To be clear, Hugo has now fallen to his weakest class as a human being.

One day the weakening of Hugo will also be known.

If that happens, I don't know what his future will be.

Worst case scenario, I might be told insulation by my country.

I hear that his country, the Lengzant Empire, is all meritocracy with power.

Will you keep the weakened man number one in the throne as he is fulfilled?

Thinking about it, maybe this is the punishment he was given.

Hugo was drowning in power.

He was drowning and even mentally ill.

Is there any hope for him to live when he loses all that power?

I, too, would have drowned in power like Hugo had it not been for Brother Julius, Sue and Katia?

I don't think that's an impossible story.

I know someone stronger than me.

But still, sometimes, I feel drunk about my strength.

In fact, I would be strong.

That's enough for Hugo to grow that far, and I'm sure he didn't have many stronger people around him.

It is said to be a war zone, even the Lengzant Empire of Strength Supremacy.

Then, even if there's a difference between a magical or a physical one, I'd be pretty strong with a status almost equal to that one.

Then, if the environment were different, it might have been me who was acting like a Hugo.

I'm freaked out by the idea.

Maybe I was the one who stole my stats and skills from my teacher.

Doctor, that guy is horrible, too.

Having enrolled in school and reached a certain age, I had also acquired some magic skills.

I don't know what would have happened if my teacher hadn't helped me then.

But win or lose, it would have been such a fierce battle that we're both not safe.

Though I think I was peacefully bogged down while I was at it, if it was still that situation, I would have done about one of the counterattacks.

However, stabbing a stop must have been an absolute hesitation.

Given that, I think Hugo, who has no hesitation, had a better chance of winning.

The teacher was completely powerless of the Hugo.

That means I don't have a winner for a teacher either.

What if the teacher tries to weaken me and Katia too?

I don't have the power to resist.

The teacher stopped showing his face after the incident and again in class.

That's the usual thing, but after that, that behavior seems extra creepy.

What the hell kind of activity does the teacher have back there?

How did you get all that power?

What the hell are you trying to do with all that power?

I don't know.

There's so much I don't know.

But I don't think asking him in person will answer that.

Plus, I'm scared to be a yab snake about being bad.

It's just a hunch, but I don't think the teacher is the enemy.

I don't know what you're doing back there, that's a mystery, but at least I don't think you're doing us any harm.

I can't step in yet, but one day, I'm sure, there's going to be a day where you can tell me everything.

Until then, I'll believe my teacher and wait.

"So! Shun, let's get you into divine discourse too!

I was listening and at some point they held my hand and Yuri stuffed me.

"Uh, I admit the divine discourse is splendid, but I won't shy away"

Softly untie Yuri's hand as she sweats cold at Sue, who creates silent pressure.

Yuri gets stuffed with the eagerness to come into divine discourse if he does these days.

Every time I say no, Yuri doesn't give up.

I want you to stop harassing Sue because she's going to be pretty every time.

Hmm?

As usual, Sue is staring at Yuri, but Katia looks subtle.

What's wrong with you when you look so frightened at times like this and you're often far-fetched?

"Katia, is something wrong?

It's nothing, is it? Shun is what, suddenly?

"No, because Katia's condition was something subtle"

"Ha. Nothing, it's always the same, right?

"Really? If you're not feeling well, why don't you say so?

"Yeah. Don't worry."

He says there's nothing in person, so he'll be fine.

And when I turned around, now Sue and Yuri looked subtle.

"Now you guys. Hey, what's up?

"No. It's nothing"

Sue and Yuri look at each other and look subtle to each other.

I don't know why.

In the end, they all dissolved with a subtle face that day.

"Sue, what do you think?

"Not yet, no. But it can't be."

"I knew it, you think?

"That's not good. Very bad."

"That's not good. Very bad."

"But you can't stop it"

"This could be a powerful enemy."

"Hmm. We haven't decided yet"

"Right. As for us, I just hope it doesn't happen."

"Shit! It's gonna end like this! This world is mine! Mine, mine alone, mine alone! I won't admit this is how it ends! I won't admit it! Until we get this whole thing, it's over!
