Tabernacle - A Second Subsequent Story

This is after Lute died in the tutorial, without a time rewind, the time flowed as it were...... the story on the world axis of what if.

"With the above, I will be the answer to the general representative of the graduates of the Altena School of Magic - Cordelia-Alston"

With those words, as a student, I was to end and take the path as a courageous man in front of me.

This is the last time we'll be walking down the long crossing.

I nodded small with emotion.

"This is the last of my life here..."

All you have to do is go back to the dorm and pack your bags and move to the Holy City.

Well, even after three years at the School of Magic, I basically mingled with the Saints and S-rank adventurers to deal with the national scale class of vicious beasts...... I was just doing a crusade for monsters.

Thanks to you, I managed to get to a level called S-rank, too, and to be more than one serving as a brave man.

But - I think.

No matter how strong you become or how much you contribute to the security of society, my heart will not be filled.

"Lute......"

He won't be next door to me. He's not laughing at me nearby.

He was drunk by a waterfall and died.

At that time, it was almost... just a little bit out of reach, and I still couldn't make it.

- It's my fault.

Ever since then, there has always been a deep, dark shadow in my heart.

In a place of foolishness, reading the air and making laughs to suit everyone also got on the board.

I am also accustomed to the discomfort of the neck muscles around the medulla oblongata when I was forced to use the facial expressions.

Anyway... I think.

I am a brave man. So I need to be stronger and be of service to people.

But... and I looked up into the sky.

- What am I... putting my life at risk for?

Though I've been festived as a brave man and somehow thought it was like that to do my duty and my role... I... how could I...

"I'm so sorry."

I know for myself that I have no firm, core of heart as a brave man.

When it comes to protecting people, I don't have anything I want to protect until I put my life at risk.

Or even though I might have initially accepted to be a brave man...... wanting to protect a weak man like Lute.

"What is it, Mr. Cordelia? With a dark face?

"Moses......"

"Also, were you remembering Mr. Lute?

"... yeah"

So Moses bowed his head in regret.

"It's my responsibility. At that time, I couldn't protect Mr. Lute, who was attacked by demons and plunged into the river... it's my responsibility"

"It must be hard for you to lose your childhood. Besides, in the first place... if you say so, it's my responsibility to take the villagers to the demonic forest."

"... I'm sorry, Mr. Cordelia"

"Anyway, it doesn't even start when you say the old days. We... can't look back forever"

"Yeah, that's right"

"The next saint knights on my assignment are coming with you, right?

"Yes, an unofficial Knights squad... but the captain is my old familiarity."

As a brave man if I were meant to be, standing in front of folk grass and being used as an authority is a classic.

Well, brave men are very good as a means to increase folk grass loyalty to exchangers and squeeze out taxes.

In addition, the brave also jump the morale of an entire group by cutting ahead in the battlefield.

There's a use for brave people in that sense, and I basically keep walking where the light shines - it should have.

But I was assigned to a unit of supposedly unofficial Saint Knights.

Anyway, I remember it was a terrible place.

Only to crush the extremists of the disputed pagan people by civilians, who are launching an attack against this diocese... burning down the entire refugee camp or something that isn't even such a loch.

A year has passed since he was responsible for a single stick of genocide, including ordinary people.

- I don't really remember anything from there.

Yes, literally - I don't really remember very well.

And that said, my consciousness... was troubled by the gucha as if I had been subjected to hypnotic magic.

In other words, one day suddenly... my consciousness became a very vague thing.

So something else started manipulating my body, other than me...

I move my body when I'm out strong, and Sole moves me when my consciousness is melting.

The first few days I felt an obvious anomaly and was also in a hurry.

but after a few days, I didn't even feel the crisis, and the longer and longer the sole was on the table... I just kept drifting in the warm water of a sea of consciousness dissolved in drools.

"Come on, finally."

"... Huh?

In my dream-like consciousness, in Moses' words I regained my clarity and consciousness for the first time in a long time.

Over time, I feel like it was a few decades after my memory and consciousness became obscure, or a few years later.

Anyway, if you noticed, I was on a horse, and behind me was a large army following me and Moses as far as I could see.

"This... what do you mean?

"Oh, that's a rare and high level of consciousness. Fair enough, your consciousness will soon be drunk by the devil. Well, it's a big expedition."

"... Great... Expedition?

"It is a jihad to regain the survival zone of humanity narrowed by repeated catastrophes. It's called the strongest thing in history that even the Dragon King has slaughtered and killed... and it's a big event for even us reborns to take part in, led by Cordelia the Brave, the decisive weapon of mankind."

"Reborn? Dragon King? What... thing?

"But you're kessak"

……

"There's no way a dragon king can be butchered when he's a brave man. The beautiful princess who is here is the demon emperor...... Shura is a man who combines the power of a brave man with a demon king."

"... Mo... Zez...?

I wonder why.

Fiercely sleepy. It's just that I'm even weak... and everything gets better.

That's how Moses smiled gently.

"Go to sleep - brave man"

And -.

Next thing you know, I was dancing my sword in one hand in a burning imperial capital.

Kick the impending crowd of high-ranking adventurers like a borough rag, including a large number of S-ranks, and go straight to the Imperial Council - building a pile of corpses.

And behind me were about ten reincarnators following.

"... that? Me... jihad to regain the survival zone of mankind... far away... conscription...?

"Oh, over this period... you say your level of consciousness has recovered? No, you're a brave man."

"Mo...... ze...... z? What... wake up..."

"Rest assured. You are hunting evil."

"... Evil?

"First of all, we hunted down a people - demons - of a land called the Demonic Realm, living outside the habitat of mankind. So as a world coalition, the goal for the time being of this great expedition is over. And then, before we triumphed over the Imperial Capital, we solemnly proclaimed the great army that we ourselves had led."

"Solemn?

"In a big way, it means it's a human species… it's evil in itself."

"... Evil?

And so all sorts of things came to my mind that I saw and heard while my consciousness was cloudy.

"… indeed… yes… perhaps…"

Even for me in a normal state, in one aspect I can show a certain understanding of what Moses is saying.

Yes, we humans have carried too much original sin.

Because that is why the earth is abandoned and carries the cause of catastrophe.

And -.

Also, fierce drowsiness struck me. After all, it's just, even my body's weak... and everything's getting better.

Moses smiled gently.

"Now fall asleep. And... play the battlefield - Beautiful Battle Maiden (Berserker)"

My consciousness then never returned, but the last word Moses said lingered in my ear with his nauseating goosebumps.

"And after you and I have hunted the roots of the evils that nest on this planet, it will be Adam and Eve in the post-purification world."
