Fixer Stolls.

Descendants of the first brave men who launched the Empireo Church and became the first archbishop (Mamae).

Although the Archbishop did not adopt a hereditary system, her house was a prestigious family that gave birth (yes) to the greatest number of archbishops.

She also naturally receives a thorough talent education as the next Archbishop.

So much so that it even seems like abuse.

Fixer took the archbishop's seat at a young age of twenty.

But in the course of her growth, a certain desire was fumbling to the point of abnormality.

It's a lust for honor to be at the top.

Even when I stood at the virtual apex of Paradise as Archbishop, that desire was never met.

To satisfy the unmet desire, Fixer plans to become the Virgin's companion.

If I were the next Virgin Mother, I would have gained further honor.

However, it was Berna, a mediocre Sister, who was chosen by the Virgin Folka as her companion.

That's the first defeat I've ever tasted in my life, for a Fixer.

It was such an insane humiliation.

Why am I not chosen, which is supposed to be at the apex?

A little girl in that capacity was chosen, why me.

After asking herself, she found a conclusion.

"... oh, yeah. I'm not at the top yet, am I? God, at the apex of all things."

Having got the 'answer', she immediately begins to act.

Of the two children born, Rietzsche, who immediately expressed the power of the Virgin, was taken as a nanny and intended to be used.

Immediately after giving birth, the Virgin Folka lost her life.

After the Virgin's death, no one can disobey the Archbishop's orders, and Leiche falls into Fixer's hands.

Reveal to Lieche about the life of the Virgin, and serve so that the faith heart of Empireo may shake.

She grew a leachet by hand salt, and now.

Finally, my dreams have come true.

Empireo doesn't feed himself.

You can't move or you don't want to move, you're letting a proxy named Brave Kill a demon or a person to get their feed.

Then what if Empireo is willing to feed himself?

What if we let it be a bottomless appetite and start taking lives with allowances or gradually?

I'm sure the answer is a nasty sight that's creeping in front of me right now.

"Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy."

The artificial empireo that captures one researcher after another and twists and kills him.

The murdered soul must be feeding him.

It's delicious. I've been calling you since before.

"Ah... it was still a foolish deed, such as making God in the hands of men..."

"... no, Mr. Berna. I'm not a god, I'm just a crazy fool."

That's what I tell you as I hand Mr. Berna the card-key-like thing I discovered out of Fixer's leftover clothes.

Of course the array in front of me, even the real Empireo is not God.

Can you be such a fool, God?

"Mr. Killier, is this...?

"Isn't that the guy with the authentication key? So if you can start it again and stop the artificial empireo..."

That way, we can save Beat.

Even that bucket can do something about it.

... I thought Mr. Berna unfortunately swept his neck aside.

"... no, that one's obviously made me willing. You can no longer call it a machine. You won't ask for a stop order or anything. I don't know what to do in people's hands anymore..."

"No... Then Beat is...!

"Somehow, we just have to force it off...... What happens as a result is unknown…"

"Unknown......"

That means if you pull, you're dead...?

You're such an ant...

I absolutely don't like losing Beato.

Beato is everything to me.

If that kid dies, I don't know what it means to be already alive to me...

"Huh, both of you...... I'm sorry I'm talking to you, but you're going to suck..."

To Toka's slightly trembling call, me and Mr. Berna turn our minds to the artificial empireo.

That bucket thing, I just caught the last researcher to feed him.

"No, I want more."

Even if we flatten them all, his appetite won't subside.

Then naturally, we're the next ones coming after us, aren't we?

"Here they come!

He's been targeting the three of us as his next feed.

A lot of tentacles grow in tremendous momentum trying to capture us.

"Mr. Berna, grab it!

"Yes......! Um, Mr. Toka, I need a leache..."

"And I can't help it..."

Hold Mr. Berna's body with one hand and dodge the tentacles with a flank.

Toka also held Leeche in a great panic and flew away in the opposite direction from me.

The tentacles, however, turn to our escaped, loosely.

Momentum grows as it is.

"This...... Huh!

I exercised my qi (wrench) on a sword in one hand and slapped it all I wanted.

Gaggy!

There was a tall metal noise and I succeeded in bouncing my tentacles.

But I can't put one scratch on it, and the tentacles immediately resume the chase.

(Shit, not like this...)

Toka and I, we're gonna get caught out of stamina one day.

Before that, I won't even be able to find a way to help Beat.

I'm resting. I'm thinking. I don't have a hippo.

At least if those people (...) were here, it would still be better......

"Whew!"

"Toka!?

When I look at Toka's screams, the right gauntlet is wrapped around my tentacles if you don't have a leachet.

"This, get hit...!

Toca pulls the gauntlet back to the sand and pulls out his hand.

In the meantime, another tentacle was stretching from the back side.

"Toka, behind you!

"Huh? Ah--"

No, it's too late.

A few meters of muddled toca, the tentacles of the machine loom --.

Kaaah!

On the verge of touching the toca, he was bounced by a transparent kabe.

"Ah, blush! What's that...!?

"Ice kabe —— hey, over here too..."

It wasn't if I was looking at Toka.

There are many tentacles looming at me.

It's hard to judge everything with Mr. Berna in your arms.

... if I were alone.

"Leader, can I leave the back side to you?

The moment I saw the ice kabe that protected Toka, I knew that was Mr. Divai's magic.

At the same time, I saw a leader running to me.

Finally, you came.

"Oh, I'll take care of it."

Wave the sword with your back to back with the leader who jumped behind me.

I'm playing with a kid kid, but let's just say I'm happy to reunite.

"You're late, I'm tired of waiting"

"Oh, my God, you're out of line with your partner. It took me a while to rendezvous."

Beyond the entrance, on the aisle side, you can see Mr. Dubai and Mr. Quina.

Good, that kid was able to help out.

... and there's another person who's not supposed to be here.

He attacked me in Mr. Quina's village, that man with the trees.

"... he's not the enemy right now. Yeah, don't kill him."

"... okay"

If the leader is going to say it, I'm pretty sure it is.

Neither Mr. Divai nor Mr. Quina are on guard, nor do they feel hostile.

"So, what's his situation? It would help if you briefly explained it to me."

"Right, I'll talk to you briefly. I don't know how much of a shitty situation you have to hit..."
