Virtuous Old Man, SSS-Rank is Confirmed in Your Next Life

It was down a staircase that stretched downstairs.

No pedestals, no support, stairs as if they were floating in the air.

……

He's coming down with me. Ange grabbed my sleeve, looking anxiously downstairs.

"It's okay, Ange. 'Cause I'm around."

"- Yes!"

It's not even a magic word, but with this one, the fear disappeared from Ange.

It doesn't change what I keep grabbing on my sleeve, but it only made me want to skimp with me, rather than say escape from fear.

Further down with the relieved Ange.

There was that mermaid in front of us.

The mermaid cleverly stairs in the lower half of the fish, holding the balls.

That staircase, when I began to wonder if it would last forever, I saw the end point.

Coming down for a long time, it was a space with clean and mysterious air, reminiscent of the "spiritual land" of Silver Moon.

"Wow..."

Unusual, but because of nothing he said was malicious or harmful, Ange looked around with pure interest alone.

In the meantime, the mermaid put the balls on a pedestal at the center of the space.

The balls - glowed.

I pulsed and let the light shine.

Then the air changed even more, and thickened.

Until just now, it was quieter, but the nature stayed the same and grew stronger.

"What's this?

"The Lord is pleased. This is the throne, and it turns out that the Lord has not been able to return to the place he should return to in hundreds of years. Even if it's just a few moments before it's undone, with a change in attributes."

"I see."

I knew it was something of a similar lineage to Silver Moon's "Spiritual Land".

I mean, it's good to be able to go back. It was a success, but I was glad it was done.

"Thank you again, King of man."

"I'm not the king."

"? Keeping all those people in the lead and not the king,?

The mermaid was clearly wondered.

but that's just for a moment too.

He wasn't interested in whether I was king or not, and the balls on the pedestal again - he turned his gaze toward her Lord.

"The Lord, who has returned to where he should be, will be resurrected in a thousand more years"

"Does it take that long?

"On a human scale, I guess so."

"Oh well."

Must be a very long living species.

Or a clan of gods?

Somehow I've come to understand that that Creating God has a crush on eliminating other gods.

This mermaid, and this ball.

If you think you're a god, you know what you're talking about on a scale of 1000 years.

At the same time, that is gratifying.

"Hey, if that's the case, why don't you lend us this land for a thousand years?"

"The land?

"Yeah, the land that makes those people live"

"It's..."

"I'll protect you instead, from that God of Creation"

"... no"

After being lost, the mermaid clearly refused.

"Why?"

"I'm not going to borrow your protection. You're human, you'll be gone in 100 years, and it's dangerous to depend on someone who's not there in 100 years. After you're gone, we're back to our original attributes, and the Lord will soon do it."

"If that's the case, you can do the actual work."

"I can't."

"Listen, for example, if I were to take that divine punishment as 100, how powerful would you be? How far can you prevent it?

When I asked, the mermaid looked away.

"0.1...... if 1 for 1000"

"Oh well."

Is there a considerable difference in power?

"You know what I mean? In me..."

"Rather just right"

"What?"

The mermaid was annoyed.

I am angry when people say "just right" that I lack the strength to protect the Lord.

"I can use the power of the earth here for a moment."

That's what I said, pulled out the sage's sword, and stuck it on the ground.

"What are you gonna do, Master Alec?"

"I've been hit by that many times."

"Yes! Oh yeah! Master Alec always wins!

Ange deliberately denies her last words.

That's not the kind of "I've been hit," but now I'm good.

"We've met many times, but every time we hit each other with all our might, we're still tired."

"... wow"

"What's wrong, Ange?"

"That amazing is about 'tired'...... amazing......"

Ange sparkles the eye.

"I knew I didn't want to get tired, so I've been wondering if there's any way I wouldn't get tired. That's... that's it."

He spread his magic formation through Hihirokane's obsession and set the line.

An object that has been further developed based on the boundaries of Plow.

There is no invincibility, and in some cases it favors the enemy - or my opponent favors the enemy.

But its nature is in effect now instead.

Such a juncture.

"Hey, what did you do?"

"Is it new magic"

In previous streams, Ange quickly guessed.

"Yeah, it's more about magic than boundaries."

"What is the effect? Invincible?

"No, I'm not."

I pulled the Sage's sword off the ground and cut Ange as much as I wanted - with all my might.

"-!"

Stunning mermaid, but immobile Ange.

At an inevitable rate in Ange, of course, but even after doing it, Ange stood without even questioning it.

To say that you trust me.

"Is this what works?

"In a nutshell - I guess the big damage is null and void. Any more power will be disabled, regardless of the enemy allies in the space."

I magically built a pedestal with the Sage's sword back on my back.

Hang your elbows there and tell Ange.

"Arm wrestle and you'll see."

"Yes - Ah."

Speak up, Ange.

The arm wrestling that invited her was completely mutual.

"Dear Alec, you're serious."

"Absolutely. Even if I'm serious, it cuts more power than the upper limit. As long as we're in this, the enemy allies - all of them, me and Ange, will be the same strength."

"I see. Then it doesn't matter how much divine punishment comes!

"Yeah, I mean..."

At the end of the seeding with Ange, he turns his gaze to the mermaid again.

She was decent again, though.

"If this is you - Yeah, anyone can protect your Lord from that Creator."

"... ah"

"It's practically impossible, by the way, to change or break a bond because it takes more than a bond."

"Ah... thanks!

Having understood the situation, the mermaid thanked him with the best smile since we met.

"So - could you lend me this land for a thousand years?"

"... ok!

After thinking about something, after looking at the ball, which is the Lord, for a moment.

She promised me pleasantly.

Oh well.

But it is, if you think about it.

The Creator is after me.

If it wasn't even dangerous, I guess her lord would be good enough to accept this kind of thing happily.

I just thought I'd like to see you sometime.
