Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru

"Thank you for your concern… there is nothing left to worry about"

"Oh well... good for you"

Levy was found falling in the aisle and transported to the infirmary, apparently.

By the time I arrived, Pulu's jelly had already disappeared from my body, and now I'm not particularly uncomfortable.

"Why did you go then? Asclepios could have cured you."

"... Dear Lord, Eh?"

"Hey, why!?

"I won't tell you!

They called me a pervert for some reason.

Did I say something weird...?

The door to the room was then inadvertently knocked when the two of us were talking about the game, and Mr. Byrne came into the room with the woman.

The person was an adorable woman with long golden wavy hair, blue eyes and a pure white robe.

Hey, I'm gonna interrupt.

"Ba, Mr. Byrne? Why are you here...?

"There was a little while before the semifinals after the first round. I'm just here to see how things are... Levi looks ok"

"I'm sorry for taking the time... and that... thank you for everything"

"Thank you, Master Byrne."

"No, never mind...... oh, this is Alice with me"

"Alice! Best wishes!

"Oh, thank you"

Speaking of which, I've also heard that Mr. Byrne has a very powerful companion.

Looks like it was her power to find Skye out of that big audience, or to look for people?

"Actually, there are other reasons I came here. I was wondering what Furo was saying, and I came to hear it."

"Is that... are you talking about me being incompetent?

"Oh... the guy was abnormal then. I'm sorry, but can I ask you something? Maybe I should... No, I want to hear about Lord anyway."

Apparently, Mr. Byrne felt the anomaly, too.

Well, he's still obsessed with me in that situation, nothing more than an anomaly.

I was going to tell Mr. Byrne from the beginning.

The magic of God's proximity to it... that Levi didn't know, maybe just like me or Tia...

"Okay. I'll talk to you."

I told Mr. Byrne what I had done before.

That I chose death as incompetence but was saved by Levi, that I realized the anomaly of this world, and that the temple is apparently involved in the existence of incompetence.

"It's just my guess at this stage, but the situation between Tia and me doesn't coincide..."

"Someone is creating the concept of incompetence, trying to eliminate it... and those who are called incompetent actually have magic close to God, like you, and the purpose is to erase it... there are all kinds of penetrations, but the muscles are through"

"Yeah, I have a lot of questions. But when you think about it, it suits you."

"Hmm... you don't come directly to kill me because you don't know who gets that power? So it affected the whole world... but if it did, it could be said that he was close to God."

Indeed, Mr. Byrne is right, that means he has enough power to involve the world.

Well, maybe he uses the power of demon stones or some kind of method of combining special surgical ceremonies...

"Actually, I was going to tell Mr. Byrne from the beginning. I asked Levy, but Mr. Byrne's magic is close to God's, isn't it? So..."

"Yes, so I'm not irrelevant either. I was first told it was manipulative magic."

"Ya, I knew it!? Then Mr. Byrne used to too......!

"No, I wasn't called incompetent. Sure, I couldn't use magic, but I had the strength to do it. I could have fought without relying on magic."

"Dear Lord, Lord Byrne's skill is" God's flesh… a tremendous skill of rank [SSS], with power beyond human intelligence "

"Hmm, that's your name"

"God's flesh...... that sounds like a great skill by name.

What the hell......

"For example... look"

When Mr. Byrne said so, he hooked his index finger from the bottom onto the bed where Levy was sitting and lifted it straight up.

The face has no power whatsoever and is gently moving the bed up and down.

"Ugh, you're lying..."

"You're so powerful in this condition. I've never been sick, and even if it hurts somewhere, it'll heal right away. That's why I've been pretending to be an adventurer before I got my magic. Swing this sword."

That said, Mr. Byrne pointed with his thumb at the pattern Tsukaga, which was popping out of his shoulder.

"Mr. Byrne is a monster..."

Mr. Alice groans with a sigh.

I guess there's a lot of hard work......

"Don't treat me like a monster... well, I mean, this power... that's why Levi's skills were replacing my magic"

"So the people around you thought the power was magic."

"That's right. I cared that I couldn't use magic, too, but I didn't have to use it to fight, and then I figured I'd be able to use it on my own. But now that I think about it, that's what happened."

I see...... it's certainly not strange to think that with all this power it would be magic.

But then...

"Mr. Byrne... how did you know his magic?

"That's because of Alice. Alice has special powers, too."

"Alice's skill is to have the power to see the truth."

"I didn't know it had that name attached to it... but as Levy says, I know what the person is hiding, or I know what's true. I've had a lot of trouble because of this power... but now that I've met Mr. Byrne and been able to help Mr. Byrne, I'm grateful for this power."

I can see the truth, or... it's a lot of power, but that can be hard.

If I knew the lies around me, I would have even known what I didn't have to know.

"That's why. Now, let's wrap up the story."

――――――――――――――――――――――

During the last 1000 years, someone has created the concept of incompetence.

The existence of incompetence refers to a man endowed with magic close to that of God, and someone is trying to eliminate it.

In the Temple, a system could be created whereby people who have been declared "manipulative magic", so that they do not recognize their original magic, and thus become called incompetent, are discriminated against by people who are not incompetent.

We are further planted with feelings of mutual hatred, and incompetence is eliminated at will even if a human being called incompetence despairs of the world and chooses to die, or a human being called incompetence is executed for harm to someone, even if he or she does not do so himself or herself.

The influence is so strong that it is directly related to a human being called incompetence, which is believed to isolate a human being called incompetence as well as give him a stronger and hateful sentiment.

In other words, by limiting it to "activated when you meet incompetence," you are enhancing the power on the spot.

I don't come to kill you directly because I don't know who gets the power.

And it is believed that whoever created this concept has power close to God.

――――――――――――――――――――――

"Whether it fits or not, it sucks to think like this. Apparently, the enemy has pretty powerful powers. Dragons or Demons... or humans... if the purpose is to weaken humans, the former, but we can't be sure."

"Yeah, I think that's the most likely part, too, but I don't actually know"

"Hmmm... maybe it has something to do with the fact that there are fewer strong adventurers..."

"It's possible. But I can't believe I even manipulate that... Can you do that?

Mr. Byrne said, "Come on?" and lean his neck.

Right... the more I think about it, the less I know...

"It's the number of incompetencies, but maybe even less. One in every millions must have been a few years ago. I've been around the world, too, but I've never met incompetence in person. Because some of them are hiding, and a few of them were executed... dozens if they suck... no, maybe less, and you can't even think of anyone else like me or you who woke up to power, can you?

"Sure..."

"All right, do you have a communications demon stone? We'll see what we can do. Let's keep in touch in the future."

"Ho, is that true? Thanks!

"I'm not irrelevant either, and most importantly... you can't ignore me if I hear that. Let me know if you find anything. I'll get back to you."

It would be comforting if Mr. Byrne would be on his side.

Far closer to the brave than I am, and maybe I can change the world sooner...

"Oh, no, Lord, you just said you wanted to be a brave man and change the world. Don't do that because you can't do that."

"Huh... why?

"Strength is not always just strength. We're going to solve this problem, but we need to keep going. But Roy... he's not who you guys think he is. The world is much more wicked than you imagine..."

"Mr. Roy...? Evil...... full?

"What a brave man. The title is an ornament. That's not something you can be strong about. Well, I'll see about this one sooner or later."

Brave man decorates......?

That means there are various rights involved and Mr. Roy fits into the brave......?

"Besides, I still have to slap the ex to solve this problem. Better move quietly under the water. Well, complaining about the anomaly to the world may be used for the last push, but it won't be effective until we figure out who's up to what purpose. Don't act too conspicuously either."

It is true that Mr Byrne may be right.

But...

Mr. Byrne opened his mouth with a serious look at how my thoughts were on his face.

"You, you had such sad eyes when the Fuuros were taken by the guards. I thought it was your fault or something.

It was a picture star.

Of course he thinks he deserves it.

But considering my hatred for me for incompetence made me do that...

"Lord, listen carefully. This case is a different story from incompetence. Fuuro darkened Lebanon and the attendants in order to personally plunge you. That's his original thought, the action that his distorted mind produced that only thinks of himself and can't think of anyone else. Don't get me wrong with that. Listening to the past, I get it... you are too kind. Of course that's not a bad thing. In fact, a lot of people have been saved by it. Just remember one thing. Whoever has power is bound to be compelled to make a choice. It wasn't kindness that mattered, it was readiness.

Mr. Byrne said so with his fist against his chest.

"Ready..."

"Yes... understand what happens with your actions and words and deeds. You are definitely a person going up there. Sooner or later... No, the future not so far away, I'm sure there will be things that just kindness can't help. Be prepared... don't forget that."

I understand what Mr Byrne is saying.

Choosing something means trumpeting something.

It won't just be my personal feelings then, it'll also mean I need to look at the big picture and make a decision.

It's just...

"Okay...... but that place where Mr. Byrne fisted is also where people's hearts are. Besides, I'm me."

There's something I can't give away either.

So pierce yourself.

".................. Ha! Interesting, you."

"Haha... I'll take it as a compliment"

"Oh... well, I'll be waiting for you in the venue. I know you shouldn't have said that in my position... Win, Lord."

"Yes, I'll do my best!

Mr. Byrne left the room laughing nicely.

Evil in this world...... something is happening in various other places as well as the question of incompetence.

I can't help it alone...

"Lord, let's come."

"Oh, I'm counting on you. Levi."

I have company.

So just walk forward.
