Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru

Otris, a small country in the north.

The population is about 10,000.

Located in the northeast of the continent of Valhalla, it is the end of the land that there is no country after Otris.

Together with his ally, Rae, he stood against war and was famous as a country without an army.

In fact, there is still no army.

However, a country called Otris, and the idea itself, has been wiped out of the world by Titanomachia.

Naturally the people do not know about it and continue to live the same life as before.

Everything was done quietly.

Overnight, in a different way than Armenia, the country Otris was "gone".

Senior government officials, castle escorts, and royalty.

Now the people see it, it's all copies produced by Fake.

That's how they got the agency and the means: the country.

That's the first step.

They were definitely headed to their destination, one by one, up the stairs.

Now it's only half way.

But the stairs are not necessarily... going up one step at a time.

―――――――――――――――――――――

A dim, giddy dungeon in the castle of Otris.

There, there was one woman.

His name is Karen. He's eighteen.

She is "incompetent".

Abandoned by her parents, she once lived in Focken, Nieberg's second city, where she managed to cling desperately to live, even as she was persecuted.

But after repeated irrational intolerances and one rampage at her place of employment, she decides to sever herself from society.

Then a year later.

Three men and women appear to her, one living quietly in the woods.

They called themselves Titanomachias and said they were all former "incompetent" and were acting to erase the concept of "incompetence" from the world.

And I was wondering if we could be one of them.

Karen instantly shook her head to the side.

She had blocked all public information, so she had no idea what kind of organization Titanomachia was engaged in or what kind of activities.

So it's not that I didn't like the way they did it, it's just that I wasn't interested.

To the world, to people.

No matter where the story ends there, Cheryl and Liesel begin to persuade her.

Still, she kept refusing.

I had decided to leave town.

I need to get involved with other people again.

The story followed a parallel line, but the two didn't give up.

But her determination is unshakeable.

The two, who felt that strong will, tell Fake, who was watching in silence, to give up.

But when Fake spawned the demons silently, he put Karen to sleep and restrained her.

He was told this secretly by Cross, the leader of Titanomachia, to the two of them.

"If you want to resist, force me to bring you in," he said.

Fake put both angry men to sleep, created a dragon, rode on its back, and flew to Otris, the stronghold.

―――――――――――――――――――――

Kotsuki, Kotsuki, someone reacts to the sound of approaching, and Karen wakes her body out of bed.

"As always... you make shiatsu noises..."

About two months had already passed since she was trapped here.

Therefore, the Lord of his footsteps also has an approximate view.

The footsteps gradually grew louder, and eventually, over the iron lattice, I could see her giggling.

"Rice... I brought it"

"... oh"

It was obvious if you look at the bear under your eyes and the vain eyes without power that the appearance was not an act.

"Cook, cook... Now I don't know which one's trapped."

"... ugh!

Cheryl's face is even more distorted by her words.

Karen lifted her black, long stretched hair and only shifted her gaze to Cheryl.

"Ma, leave it there. I'll do it right later. You've got the requirements, haven't you? Just go. I won't be rumbling anymore. However, I seem to say it again and again..."

"... I know. I don't solicit, I don't teach you your magic."

"Fine. As long as you're involved with someone, you can remain" incompetent. "I can't help it now. This asshole."

Karen laughs niggly as she rattles the chains that bind her hands together.

Cheryl nodded, putting the tray on the floor where the meal was riding with trembling hands.

"... sorry"

"Ha..."

Cheryl and I know it's a pointless apology.

But I couldn't help but do it.

"How many times have you apologized to me?"

……

"I seem to say it every time, but I have no grudges against you. What annoys me is that son of a bitch and I was" incompetent ". I don't know what that means."

"I'm trying to figure it out... but..."

"The leader doesn't shake his head vertically...... right?

Cheryl nods silently.

She and Liesel had hung each other up many times over the past two months asking me to let Karen go.

But the answer to the cross is always the same.

"I can't do that".

Karen's magic, learned by Ana's power, was quite important: it was possible to move Titanomachia's plan forward at once.

That's why I couldn't let go.

Cheryl and Liesel still ate down.

Because he doesn't want it, he shouldn't do this, and this makes him the same person who's persecuting "incompetence".

The two complained that way besides Cross, but in the end they had nothing to side with.

Everything is to change the world.

In Titanomachia, that was the top priority.

So the two of them have no choice but to start convincing Karen.

But that didn't work either.

Every time she tells the story, Karen closes her heart and when she tries to teach her magic, she breaks out and hurts her body.

Eventually, they gave up half the time, and this is how they were only able to take care of her.

"... hey"

"What? Oh, hey, what!?

There is no reason to overreact either.

Because I've hardly ever spoken to you before, such as from Karen.

"You and Liesel, are you seriously going to change this world?

"Uh... yeah...?

"Whatever you do... kill people, for example?

"Ugh..."

It's as if she saw through her own mind. Besides, Cheryl clogged her words.

"Cook Cook...... you come on, don't you really get it? I heard some of it, but hey... Titanomachia's doing it. Oh shit. Give me a hundred steps... No, I think I'll give you a thousand. I know well to succeed or defeat an official or some stupid nobleman who was doing terrible things to" incompetence ". But what are you doing now? What the hell are you gonna do with it?

"I don't even know that...... so, but! If we do what we're doing right now, we can break the roots of all evil... because it makes us lose the concept of" incompetence "...!

"You... you really think so?

"Yes, because...!

"If you don't think so... because you're going crazy?

"Huh!"

Cheryl clogs words again.

From Karen's point of view, that was extremely easy to understand.

Cheryl is troubled.

That's because I doubt Titanomachia's activities themselves, not just one of my own.

"Hahahaha! You know what I'm talking about! The roots of all evil, huh? Ha! I mean, for the world... I think that's exactly what you guys are?

"Ah..."

Cheryl was originally a bright, sweet girl with family thoughts.

Everything now is just due to the environment and trigger.

"These people here crushed Armenia, didn't they? I don't understand you. That's how we walk on other people's lives for our own ends."

"Ugh... Ugh..."

From Cheryl's eyes, tears were overflowing.

I anointed what Karen said with resentment and hope, trying not to think about it the whole time.

But reality doesn't get out of hand.

relentlessly and continue to erode her heart.

Because she's sweet.

"You can't kill people. It's not right."

"Wow, I know... I know, I know. Oh, no!

"I don't like you either. That means you and I feel the same way."

"Huh...?

"What do you think I should do if I don't like it here?

"Well, that's..."

Karen gets up and puts her face closer to the crouching Cheryl.

"You just have to run... it's easy, right?

That's what I said and laughed niggly.
