Reincarnation Monarch
Lesson 324 Reasons for Choosing
"... what do you think?
Gaius put quite plenty between them before questioning Coppin.
Coppin then sighed one loud sigh after showing a slightly contemplative bare gesture.
"... what the heck - I was finding out - I'm bored"
Coppin deliberately said to stand aside.
"I knew you were using Astarot..."
"Sort of. It's true that Astarot told me to come and show you the way."
"Right... so Astalot was saying something about me?
"Yes... but well, that's something you ask Astarot directly. Judge by using your eyes, ears and all five senses without my subjectivity."
"... so is that. I just asked Coppin if he was biased. Okay. But there's one more thing I want to ask you. There are four lords on every floor of hell, aren't there? Why did you take me to Delkia, who you didn't like on the first tier?
"... what are you talking about? ……
"This is my guess, isn't there a total of four gates of hell, one over each Lords? Otherwise, it would be inconvenient. If so, they would have avoided Delkia if they had traveled that land full of blue rocks to the sky above where the other lords are before opening the gates of hell. Yet you have opened the gates of hell over Delchian territory. [M] Why is that?
"... nothing... simply because it was closest. Plus, Delkia has a different personality, so I was just wondering if maybe it would be interesting, and it doesn't mean anything in particular?
"... I don't know if it's true... I don't think so..."
"Then I ask the other way, what do you think? If I took you intentionally to Delkia, why? Say it."
"Uh-huh... that's... for example, because my powers still don't extend to (...) Astarot, I thought I'd let Delkia build my strength..."
"You're not a horse deer!? Why do I have to do such a crazy imitation of you when I first met you? Besides... it doesn't extend to Astarot yet? You haven't (...) been reborn thousands of times, and you're not even at Astarot's feet! Besides, no matter how much Delkia is the most powerful of all the high-ranking and advanced demons, Master Astarot is the finest demon on top of it!? There's no way you can reach Master Astarot for as long as you let Delkia work out!!"
"... well, yes... then why did you send me to Delkia..."
"So... kara! You're saying it was because it was closest! I am a troublesome, amusing demon! Ok!?"
"... I wonder if it's true..."
While Gaius felt something unintelligible, he had no choice but to silence because he saw no logical reason as to why Coppin had chosen Delkia.
