Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?

The reincarnators staring at the footage.

It was Kudo who got back on his feet as soon as possible.

"Hey, as this is real footage, how many more years does this star have?

To Kudo's words, with a hazy reincarnator.

Well, normally if you think about it, you can be convinced that if this were the case, the stars would collapse in a few days, and you'd be curious if you felt the end of the line with all this stuff.

"Rest assured. For now, it's not going to collapse while you're alive."

If my calculations are correct, the stars will not collapse even as they are now.

At least it should last long enough for the reincarnated to finish that life.

I just can't guarantee it's as long as an elf teacher.

For once, we eliminated the biggest waste of energy called Potimus, so we should recover slowly in the future.

Yes, if you take the time, you'll recover.

It's just that there's a sacrifice to be made about it.

Saliel, the goddess whose sacrifice is now at the core of the system.

Sariel is on the verge of being crushed by the system.

There's no way I can stand such a long time.

In addition, if I say so, it is time for the degradation of the souls of those living in this world to reach the danger zone.

The Demons suffer from a declining birth rate because the degradation of their souls is preventing them from being reincarnated.

The soul that has been reborn over and over is wearing off and hurting.

If you're forced to reincarnate in that state, what you're waiting for is the collapse of your soul.

If that happens, I won't even be reincarnated again.

There were places where black isolated people who could see such a deterioration of their souls, but ghosts crushed it there.

Besides, such symptomatic treatment will not solve the underlying problem.

What Black did was the same thing Potimus did to the reincarnators: not letting people acquire skills as much as possible.

Doing so makes you live a lifetime without putting the excess of skill on your soul.

Skills are a burden to your soul.

If that's a healthy soul, no problem, but a degraded soul won't hold it.

But that's how you keep me from acquiring skills, and in the end, my soul never recovers.

It feels like it just slows the progression of the disease.

The only way to restore the degradation of the soul is to rest the soul once it is not reincarnated.

And if more souls are resting, the birth rate will drop.

As a result, the world's population is dwindling.

People are still not prominent because they have a larger total population than the Demons.

But gradually over time, that comes to the fore.

If the population decreases, so does the restoration of the stars, and over time, the degradation of the soul proceeds again.

Is it first that the stars recover, or is it first that the degradation of the soul is extreme?

It would be such a chicken lace stinging situation.

Well, there's no connection to the reincarnates.

The reincarnators return to their normal circle, not to the circle of this world at the end of this world.

You don't have to worry about the future like that.

"Are we saying that our children's generation is in danger?

Kudo's words shook me up a little bit.

Kids?

I accidentally turned my attention to Kudo's stomach, but Kudo, who got that gaze, rushed to start explaining.

"I'm not pregnant. It's about the future."

Ah.

Oh, my God.

Kids.

I wasn't thinking about that at all.

This is a blind spot, or a difference in perception.

From what I can tell, it's not sane to have a child in this world.

I didn't have the idea of having a child in the first place.

Babes?

That's, yeah, a different frame than a kid.

Having a child in this world means having someone reborn, right?

Out of my own stomach, someone's rebirth is born.

Well, when I say that, it's not just about this star, but maybe it's the rebirth of someone I know.

Besides, if you suck, it can be normal, like the rebirth of the person you killed.

If you knew the truth, you wouldn't think about having a baby, would you?

I mean, that's probably why the Pope of the Divine Word made people forget such truth.

Keep reincarnating for redemption and let it live as a device to save energy.

What would people do if they found out about that?

Suicide? Yes.

But even if I kill myself, I'm just reborn.

So, what do we do to get out of this purgatory?

You can dedicate it.

Being itself.

I don't think I'd do that, but it's no surprise that a cornered person wants to disappear.

And even if one human being dedicates himself, the energy to recover is insignificant.

It may be a good amount for a moment, but in the long run, it's much more energy to have them keep reincarnating and making money.

People didn't forget the truth, they had to.

But to say that here, what do you think?

If you don't know, you can't have a happy family.

"At least it doesn't mean this planet will collapse right now. In the first place, we took Potimus to prevent it from collapsing. Without Potimus, the collapse of the stars will stop and later recover slowly."

I didn't lie.

Just that I'm not going to make a lot of noise before then.

I don't dare to talk about the children.

Touching it would only be unfortunate.

The fact that you shouldn't know means there are plenty of them in the world.

Well, the birth rate's dropping, so I don't know if I'll be blessed with my baby.

I mean, you have someone in the first place?

"Potimus is the guy who was holding us captive, isn't he?

Kudo asks as he puts his hand on his forehead.

That gaze looked more at the teacher than at me.

The teacher, speaking, could not even deny the word incarceration, and was flabbergasted in a blankly burned out state.

Maybe I can't think about much anymore.

Well, but the teacher is a strong man, and he'll be fine.

Toggle video.

From what was reflecting the current state of this planet, to the record of this previous battle.

There are countless onions and triangular cones floating over the woods.

And the figure of a mechanical soldier moving in the woods.

Something SF chic, unlike this fantasy-looking world.

"Potimus wanted the energy to get these weapons running. That energy is the very life force of the stars. Because they were exploiting it, the current stars were in that state."

That footage you've never seen in this world, you've only seen it over the screen in your previous life.

The reincarnators see it as edifying.

"The reason Potimus was gathering the reincarnated was in search of the peculiar power of the reincarnated. Looks like he was trying to do something he couldn't do with it."

I mean, really, he was planning on mixing reincarnates in search of immortality, but I can't make him sound like such a splatter, and I won't tell him.

By and large, they say immortality, right?

Normally, it's the nose.

Seriously, seriously, I'm making such a grand mess of myself for immortality, no matter what they say, on the contrary, I'm going to lose credibility.

"I mean, what? You think we were kidnapped and imprisoned to be used?

"Yes."

Affirms Kudo's words without body or lid.

'Cause it actually is.

"Ma, uh, well, me, me, nah, for, eh?

Hmm?

Huh?

Turning toward the speechless voice, there was the appearance of a teacher who cramped and collapsed from the chair.
