Prologue

(Please save us… please save our planet!)

Thanks to Ouma-san’s help, Master Usagi, Iris-san and the others


arrived, and we managed to defeat the Dragonias’ army.

Merl-san, who witnessed the abilities of Master Usagi and the others
here, called out to them.

However…

(…Hey, Yuuya. What is that woman there saying?)

“Eh?”

When I looked closely, not only Master Usagi but also Iris-san and
the others were staring at Merl-san with puzzled expressions.

Come to think of it, Merl-san’s words weren’t understood by Yuti


either, so the only people who could understand Merl-san’s words
here were just Ouma-san and me.

So, for now, I’m just going to tell Master Usagi and the others exactly
what Merl-san said.

At the same time, I also explained to them about this matter from
the beginning.

After listening to the shortened, but complete series of events,


Master Usagi and the others had indescribable expressions on their
faces.

(…I thought they were a bunch of incomprehensible people, but I


didn’t expect them to be inhabitants of outer space…)

Page | 11
“I thought their equipment looked unfamiliar…”

“…The other world alone is an extraordinary situation for me, but


now we have aliens… who are you really?”

Kagurazaka-san gave me a stare, but… I’m not particularly eager to


get into all kinds of trouble too, you know…

(…Oh well. For the time being, I understand the contents of the
conversation. So what are you going to do about it…?)

“Of course I’ll help her!”

(You idiot. Think about it a little. In all likelihood, we won’t have


enough strength on our own. That’s not the only opponent, is it?)

When I conveyed Master Usagi’s question directly to Merl-san, she


nodded with a nervous expression.

(If that’s the case, we are still lacking in strength. We need at least
one person who is as strong as Iris and me.)

“If you say it’s someone equal to Master Usagi and Iris-san, it would
be… another Holy, right? But will they cooperate with us…?”

In fact, the Fist Saint and Spear Saint had fallen to the Evil as Fallen
Saints. In addition, it seemed that the Fist Saint had been going
around beating the other Holy…

But…

(I don’t know if I should say we’re lucky, but I have a guess.)

“Right… As Yuuya said, the numbers of the Holy itself have indeed
been drastically reduced. But it’s also true that there are still some
Holy left. Usagi and I were just on our way to meet him.”

Page | 12
“R-really?”

(Yeah. It’s not just that guy; I also had to tell the other Holy that the
Evil has been defeated.)

Master Usagi mentioned that after Night and the others defeated
Avis, he had to go and report this to the other Holy…

“Who is this Holy that you mentioned…?”

(──”The Magic Saint”)

***

When Yuuya and the others had defeated the Dragonia aliens on
Earth, there was a new movement in the other world.

“──The time of resurrection is near.”

At the far end of the world, where people don’t live, and monsters
don’t exist, there is ── [The World’s Disposal Ground].

In the past, this was the base of operations for the Evil that Yuuya
and the others defeated, and it was originally a place where people
did not exist.

But now, there were countless groups of people in [The World’s


Disposal Ground].

All of them wore black robes and hoods to hide their faces. Among
them, one man in a particularly gorgeous robe spread his hands and
spoke eloquently.

“Foolish mortals seem to think that our God is dead, but… that is not
true! Our God is now awakening with a new power!”

Page | 13
“Right!”

“Our God is immortal!”

The group of people who were fanatical to any extent radiated a


negative emotion… an emotion that was close to Evil.

They were the very group that believed in Evil as the only absolute
God.

As the words of the surrounding believers heated up, the group


leader raised his hand, and the crowd instantly quieted down.

“I understand the anger of our people painfully… They thought they


hurt and destroyed our God. But hear me! They would never expect
this. They would never have crossed their minds that our God would
be resurrected by the skill of a sage who had once destroyed our God
as well!”

The man who shouted this held up a piece of paper in his hand.

“[Swapping Time Magic]… Fufufu. I never thought this kind of magic


existed. With this magic, we can resurrect our God from the past!”

“Oh! Founder! Let’s use that magic right now!”

One after another, the believers appealed for the use of this magic.

But the man who was called the founder appeased them.

“Hold on. I’d certainly like to use this magic right now, but… I’m
afraid it comes at a price.”

“A price? Whatever the price is, we will pay it!”

“Yes. But don’t be so hasty. This magic works by replacing a person


from this period with a being from a past period.”

“Then let’s replace it with one of us…!”

Page | 14
As the believers raise their hands in sacrifice for the resurrection of
God, the founder laughs.

“There is no need to sacrifice my people. I have already selected the


target.”

“W-who’s that?”

“What, it’s simple… I will use the same being who destroyed our
God.”

The believers’ eyes widened at the founder’s words.

“The magic that the abominable sage left behind is, as I said before,
magic that replaces an existence of the past with an existence of the
present. And this time, as well as in the past with the sage, our God
has been defeated… Our God who has become the ultimate
perfection should not have been defeated by the Holy of this age.”

“S-so, who the hell is responsible for our God’s destruction?”

“I’m not sure about the details, but… our God was defeated on his
way to the [Great Devil’s Nest]. At the same time, there was a rumor
circulating in the Alceria Kingdom. A rumor that a person was living
in the [Great Devil’s Nest].”

“!?”

Everyone present widened their eyes at the founder’s words.

That’s how dangerous the [Great Devil’s Nest] was, and it’s difficult
to believe that there were people living there.

“I understand your surprise. I couldn’t believe it either, but… it seems


that the person who lives in the [Great Devil’s Nest] is a close friend
of the first princess of the Alceria Kingdom. It’s been confirmed that
the first princess often takes a small number of guards with her to

Page | 15
the [Great Devil’s Nest] and heads there – maybe this is why. In that
[Great Devil’s Nest]… if she goes this far, there’s no doubt that
someone lives there.”

“T-then you’re saying that this person destroyed our God?”

“…It’s a possibility.”

The believers were silent at the founder’s words.

Naturally, the believers did not doubt that Evil was the most potent
and most supreme existence, but they still perceived the [Great
Devil’s Nest] as a dangerous place.

There was no such thing as an ordinary being living there.

But…

“That’s why I’m going to use that being.”

“!”

The believers opened their eyes to the founder who was smiling
fearlessly.

“If that being has defeated our God, it could very well be an obstacle
to our God after the resurrection. But what if we sacrifice that being
to resurrect our God?”

“Then… there will be no more obstacles to our long-cherished


desire!”

The believers’ eyes lit up at the founder’s words.

“That’s right. But in order to do so, we must find out the identity of
the person living in the [Great Devil’s Nest]… It will be a dangerous
path, but will you lend me your strength?”

“Yes! For the sake of our God…!”

Page | 16
──And so, in a place unknown to Yuuya and the others, a new
agenda began to unfold.

***

Meanwhile, in the Regal Kingdom, King Orghis decided on a matter


at an important meeting of his vassals.

“…I’ll open the [King’s Council].”

“Your Majesty!”

The vassals were surprised by Orghis’ statement.

The [King’s Council] that Orghis announced was literally a meeting


where the Kings of the world would gather.

Since it was a conference of a very large scale, with the gathering of


the Kings of the world, it could not be held so easily.

There were countries that have taken an aggressive stance against


other countries, so if they tried to hold a meeting with inappropriate
content, the position of the Regal Kingdom would be adversely
affected, and in the worst-case scenario, the Regal Kingdom might
come under concentrated fire from many countries.

Even so, there was a reason why Orghis wanted to hold the council.

“As you all know, the Evil has attacked our country in its full form.
And even the Sword Saint Iris-dono and the Kicking Saint Usagi-dono
were helpless against the perfect Evil… this a situation we can no
longer handle alone.”

“T-that’s…”

Page | 17
“B-but that would mean that other countries would have to know
about Mai-dono’s existence!”

──Orghis, who did not know that the Evil had already been destroyed
by Yuuya and the others, heated up at the discussion.

As one of the vassals said, the Regal Kingdom had summoned an


existence called Mai from another world, using a skill left behind by
the sage – a skill that was banned by the world.

And, as Orghis said, in order to gain the cooperation of other


countries to fight against the Evil, there was no way to avoid telling
them about Mai. Even if it was unavoidable in order to fight against
Evil, it was obvious that it would be condemned.

──However, no matter how serious the discussion was, the Evil did
not exist anymore because it had already been defeated.

The only things that exist now were the Evil Beast.

Orghis, who didn’t know this, nodded firmly with a grim expression
on his face.

“I’ve been prepared for this from the beginning. I will accept the
blame from other countries. It would be a small price to pay if the
world could unite with only us being blamed.”

“Your Majesty…”

“…It’s inconvenient for everyone. I should be the only one to take all
the blame…”

“No, Your Majesty. We agree with the decision that you made. We
feel bad for the person involved, but if we didn’t do this, it would be
the end of our country… no, humanity would end!”

Page | 18
As if sympathizing with the vassal who spoke up, the other vassals
nodded with serious expressions.

Everyone in the room clearly understood that the power of this


world – the power of the Holy – was not enough to handle the
tremendous power of Avis, because they had seen it firsthand.

──The only thing was that Avis, the person they needed to defeat, no
longer exists in this world.

After looking over each of the vassals’ faces, Orghis nodded firmly.

“Everyone… I appreciate your support. Then let’s get to work. These


days, the movement of the cult that worships the Evil has become
more and more active…”

“…It has been a disturbing presence for some time, but now finally?”

The cult that Orghis was talking about was a group that believed in
Evil.

Although they have never been involved in any kind of terrorist


activity before, they still needed to be more vigilant because you
never know what they might plan to do now that Avis, the ultimate
perfect form of Evil, had been born.

──As mentioned many times already, Avis was already dead.

In other words, they were now having a very serious discussion


about someone who did not exist.

As the vassals who received Orghis’ instructions immediately began


to move to deliver the letters to the various countries, Orghis sank
deeper into his chair.

“There are many things that I have to inform them… about Evil,
about Mai-dono. It’s not something that is easily believable, but if I

Page | 19
can get Lexia-dono, who knows about the situation, to join me,
things will be different. It’s unusual to invite a princess to the King’s
Council, but… it can’t be helped now.”

Orghis quickly put together a plan for the future in his mind and
waited for Lexia’s return.

***

(Your Majesty! Commander of the Third Division, Drade-sama, has


returned!)

(Let him through!)

The Third Division was defeated in the battle against Yuuya and has
retreated.

Although the unit commander, Drade, was receiving medical


treatment aboard the ship during his return, his wounds were still
not completely healed because his ship did not have the same
advanced facilities as the mother ship.

Still, in order to be the first to announce the existence of the threat


of Yuuya, Drade immediately went before Draco III, the king of the
Dragonia aliens.

After being escorted to Draco III’s room, he stepped forward and


prostrated himself with tremendous vigor.

(Your Majesty… I shall be punished for this…!)

(…..)

Draco III gave him a cold stare and slowly opened his mouth.

Page | 20
(What happened?)

(Ha… Upon Your Majesty’s order, I immediately went to the remote


planet where the Amelians were hiding out. We were supposed to
battle the target Amelians, but we ended up fighting… their
collaborators… and we were defeated..)

(Collaborators?)

Draco III raised his eyebrows slightly.

(Was there anyone else in this universe besides the planet Amel who
would be foolish enough to stand up to us? Or were there others
who had already shown their reverence and were hiding and secretly
building up their forces?)

(N-no, that’s… we were defeated by the humans of the planet where


the target – the Amelians – were hiding out…)

(What did you say?)

Draco III couldn’t believe his ears at Drade’s report.

He had thought that they controlled the entire universe except for
the planet Amel, so he hadn’t expected to find any threatening
beings outside of Amel.

Of course, when they found out that Merl was hiding on Earth, they
also investigated the planet, and they knew that with the level of
technology on Earth and the fighting power of the people living
there, there was no way that the Dragonias could be defeated.

That’s why he couldn’t believe that people from that planet had
defeated Drade.

(It’s hard to believe. Are you saying that Amel has succeeded in
developing a new weapon?)

Page | 21
Draco III was more inclined to believe that the Amelians had created
a new weapon that the Dragonias did not know about and that the
Earthlings had used it to defeat Drade.

Draco III was silent for a while, but then he turned his gaze to Drade
again.

Sensing the gaze on his skin, Drade shrunk even more and rubbed his
forehead against the ground.

(Y-you can punish me any way you want!)

(I don’t care about your will. Normally, I’d ask you to disappear, but…
I can’t afford to have my forces diminished here.)

(…..)

(You were the bravest of all our Dragonias. If you are defeated, it will
affect the morale of our nation. But at the same time, we can’t let
those who are helping the Amelians go unchecked. Once you’ve
healed your wounds, the Third Division should capture the Amelians
and their collaborators as soon as possible!)

(Ha! Thank you for your generous offer…!)

Drade bowed once more and stared into the void as he exited the
room.

(Just wait for me… and I will pay you back for this wound…!)

──Thus, various parties began to move.

Chapter 1 – Earth Tourism

Part 1

“Um… are you sure this is okay?”

“Of course!”

After that, Master Usagi went back to the other world to recruit a
person called the “Magic Saint” into our group.

In the first place, Master Usagi was on his way to tell the other Holy
and their disciples that Night and the others had defeated Evil, and
Iris-san was accompanying him.

On the way, they happened to meet up with Lexia-san and the


others, which was how they heard about me from Kagurazaka-san,
so they came to the Sage-san’s house in the other world to confirm
the truth. Just as I was fighting the Dragonias on Earth, they decided
to join me.

So, now that the Dragonias had been defeated, he needed to return
and explain the situation to the Holy, but Iris-san didn’t go with him
and stayed here.

And───.

“Heh! So this is Yuuya-sama’s house, huh!”

“It’s very different from our world… Mai, is this the way houses are
generally built in this world?”

“Well, yes. Although there are a few things missing…”

Page | 23
It’s not just Iris-san, but Lexia-san and others had also remained
here.

It’s not surprising that Kagurazaka-san, who was originally from


Earth, was still here, but I wonder if it’s okay for a princess like Lexia-
san to be in a place like this?

I thought about Owen-san, one of Lexia-san’s guards, who was not


here at the moment.

Then, Iris-san said with a serious expression.

“In fact… Merl-san, was it? Considering what Yuuya-kun told me


about her, I’m worried that this place will be targeted again. But right
now, Yuuya is still damaged from the previous battle, and if that
happens, we’re worried about your current strength. That’s why we
stayed behind.”

“I see…”

“That’s right! So don’t worry about it, Yuuya-sama!”

“…Well, I don’t know what Lexia can do, but I’ll help you in my own
way.”

“Hey, Luna! I’ll do anything if I have to!”

“Thank you very much, everyone…”

I bowed my head towards Lexia-san and the others who said they
were worried about me and would help me.

And then Merl-san, who was watching the situation, also bowed her
head along with me.

(Me too… I’d like to thank you for your help as well.)

Page | 24
“Hey, raise your head! We’re only helping you because we want to
help Yuuya-kun. Even so… it’s strange to look at Merl-san’s outfit
again. In addition to all of the things in your world that we don’t
have, there are also different designs and… different languages, so
it’s a little difficult to communicate with her…”

As Iris-san said this, I suddenly asked Merl-san.

“You know, Iris-san just said that it’s hard for her to communicate
with Merl-san because she doesn’t understand your language. Isn’t it
possible to somehow communicate with her using Amelian’s
technology?”

(I didn’t pay attention to it until now because it was working for


Yuuya-san… Indeed, it should be possible. Please wait a moment.)

As Merl-san said this, she operated the terminal attached to her left
hand, and after a while, an electronic sound played.

(…I have just sent the language information of my planet to everyone


here. What do you think?)

Then, in response to Merl-san’s words, not only Iris-san, Lexia-san


and the others, but also Yuti, who had been with her until now, was
surprised.

“Astonished. I can suddenly understand Merl’s words now.”

“This is… It’s not like magic, and I didn’t feel any magic at all…”

Lexia-san and Luna seemed to be surprised, but the most surprised


one was Kagurazaka-san.

“No way, you can understand the language just by operating the
terminal earlier? Isn’t that insanely convenient! With that, I won’t
ever get a red mark on my English test again…!”

Page | 25
“Eh?”

“Oh, i-it’s nothing! Forget what you just heard!”

“Y-yes.”

All I could do was nod to Kagurazaka-san, whose face had turned


bright red as she told me that.

While we were having this conversation, Lexia-san, who had been


looking around the inside of the house with great interest, raised her
voice.

“Hey, hey, Yuuya-sama! I’d really like to see the world where you
live!”

“Eeh?”

“Ara, I’m curious about that, too.”

“T-that’s…”

“Hey, Lexia. Don’t bother Yuuya too much… Well, I’d be lying if I said
it didn’t interest me, though.”

“Luna too…”

But, as Lexia-san said, I can understand why they are concerned


about this world.

That’s what happened with Yuti and Ouma-san, too…

Then Iris-san continued with a slightly serious expression.

“Of course, it’s partly out of curiosity, but it’s also to get an idea of
the surroundings in case those people come back to attack you. Well,
it seems that we were isolated in a strange space at that time, but it
can’t be like that every time, can it?”

Page | 26
“I-I see.”

If she said that, I would think so, but… I didn’t know the details
either. I’m not a professional fighter myself, even if I got involved in
various things lately and had to fight.

“I understand. I don’t have a problem showing you around the Earth,


but…”

“What’s wrong?”

When I hesitated, Iris-san and the others tilted their heads.

But Kagurazaka-san, who understood what I was trying to say, spoke


for me.

“Um… the problem is the way Lexia and the others are dressed, isn’t
it?”

“Eeh? O-our clothes?”

“Yes. No one on Earth dresses like a princess.”

It’s just as Kagurazaka-san said.

Although Lexia-san was wearing an outfit that was a bit more


comfortable to move around in, it still looked like a princess dress,
and Luna’s outfit was not as flashy as a dress, but it looked like it
could be considered cosplay.

And Iris-san, too, not only had on her the same kind of cosplay as
Luna, but she also had a magnificent sword hanging from her waist.

“Besides… Lexia-san and the others may be able to change their


outfits, but Iris-san’s sword is definitely no good…”

“Eeeh? What do you mean by no sword? What are you going to do if


you get attacked in that condition?”

Page | 27
“Um… our world isn’t as dangerous as yours, so there’s no need to
carry weapons around…”

It’s not a completely safe place, of course, but still, compared to


other worlds, Japan’s security was much better. It’s not like there are
monsters out there that would kill you for no reason.

When Iris-san and the others heard what Kagurazaka-san and I had
said, they looked incredulous and surprised.

“No way… I can’t believe we’re in a world where we don’t need to


carry any weapons…”

“That’s a little hard to believe…”

“But now that you mention it, I understand a little more. When I first
came to this world and investigated the surroundings a little, I
thought that no one gave off as strong a presence as you did, but it’s
not that you were special; it’s just that this world itself is peaceful, so
there was no strong presence…”

“W-wait! Then we can not look around your world?”

“H-hmm… To be honest, I don’t know what will happen to Lexia and


the others since you’ll probably stand out, but… as long as you
change your clothes, it’ll be a little better, right?”

Kagurazaka-san said with an indescribable expression on her face; it


is true that Lexia-san and the others would stand out…

Lexia-san had the elegance of a princess, and Luna and Iris-san each
had a different aura.

“If that’s the case, then… Mai! Can you prepare the clothes of this
world for us?”

“Eeh?”

Page | 28
“If we do that, then we can take a look around Yuuya-sama’s world,
right? So, please!”

Kagurazaka-san was confused when she was asked to do so, but


overpowered by Lexia-san’s pleading gaze and Iris-san and Luna’s
expectant gaze, she nodded.

“I-I understand! But I don’t know anything about fashion, so don’t


complain about what I bought you!”

“Thank you, Mai! Of course!”

Lexia-san was overjoyed and hugged Kagurazaka-san.

“Good grief… Then I need to find out your clothing size… Wait, you,
get out of this room.”

“Y-yes!”

I nodded to Kagurazaka-san’s words and hurriedly left the room.

***

──How did this happen?

“Well then, Yuuya-kun! You’re still recovering, so take it easy and get
some rest!”

“Yuuya-sama! Please wait for my homemade cooking!”

“…Yuuya, don’t worry. It’s not just me this time, but Iris-sama will
also be present. The two of us will be able to control Lexia… Sorry,
that might be impossible…”

“Don’t just give up like that!”

Page | 29
Currently, the situation was that Kagurazaka-san, who measured
each size, had just left to go shopping to prepare clothes for Lexia-
san and the others to tour the Earth together.

If I were to buy clothes for the three of them suddenly, I would have
to spend a fair amount of money, but since I could use the features
of the [Door to the Other World] to exchange items I had acquired in
the other world for cash, I managed to prepare the money.

So, when Kagurazaka-san went out to buy clothes for the three of
them, to my surprise, Iris-san offered to do the housework for me.

“Yuuya-kun, It’s my role as a master to take care of my apprentice!


You should get some rest and let this Onee-san take care of you for
now!”

It was true that I was still exhausted from the battle with Drade, the
commander of the Dragonia aliens, so I was grateful for the offer.
But as expected, I felt bad and tried to refuse.

But then Lexia-san raised her voice.

“Iris-sama, please wait! In that case, I’ll take care of Yuuya-sama!


Yes, first of all, let’s have a home-cooked meal…!”

“Ara, that’s exactly what I’ll do. I’ve had Yuuya-kun eat my cooking
before, and of course, he said it was delicious.”

“What did you say? I’ve never cooked for Yuuya-sama before! Let me
cook for him this time!”

Inspired by Iris-san’s words and seeing Lexia-san’s motivation, Luna


also raised her voice in panic.

“W-wait! If Lexia is going to do it, then I’m going to do it too! I don’t


know what will happen if you leave it to this girl alone! …W-well, I
want to take care of Yuuya, too…”

Page | 30
When I was really grateful that all of them… wanting to do something
for me, I suddenly heard a lovely sound.

When I looked towards the sound, I saw that Yuti was looking at us
with a straight face.

“Hungry. I want a good meal.”

“Right. I’m hungry too.”

Ouma-san, who had been sleeping disinterestedly until now, sighed


and said so, and the three of them began to cook in earnest.

I led them to the kitchen of my house, and everything there was


strange to them.

“T-this is… You can start a fire just by turning the knob, and you can
also adjust the heat!?”

“This one produces water just by twisting it! And it even has hot
water!”

“W-what is this box… it’s cold inside!”

“B-but I don’t feel any magic in any of them… Could it be that they’re
working without magic?”

The three of them were amazed by the stove, water supply, and
refrigerator, respectively.

For me, it’s all very common, but from the point of view of people
from the other world, I guess it’s all fresh and strange. I was also
surprised when I saw magic for the first time, after all.

Merl-san, who was standing next to me watching the three of them


amazed by the things in the house, muttered to herself.

Page | 31
(Interesting… to be surprised by this level of science and technology
when they have so much power…)

“I think it’s because the type of technology is different from that of


the other world.”

Of course, Merl-san and the others’ technology was out of the norm
in comparison.

As I was thinking about this, Iris-san, who seemed to have some idea
of what was going on in the kitchen and was wearing an apron from
the house, started to cook.

“There are plenty of spices; I can make anything with this. Well then
─── [Twilight Slash]!”

“I-Iris-sama!”

Lexia-san and Luna were surprised to see Iris-san generously using


her skill as a Sword Saint in cooking. But without paying attention to
these two, she continued to use her skills one after another to
prepare the food.

(…Really, how can she use that much swordsmanship in her


cooking…?)

Merl-san. I don’t understand that either.

Lexia-san was impressed with the way Iris-san handled the


ingredients with her amazing sword skills as always, but she quickly
came to her senses.

“Hah!? I can’t stay like this! I have to get started too… Eii!”

(!?)

“!?”

Page | 32
The moment Lexia-san swung the knife and brought it down with
great force, the knife passed right between Merl-san and me in a
flash.

We both turned around fearfully to see the knife sticking out of the
wall.

“Ara? Where did the knife go?”

I asked fearfully, overhearing the innocent voice of Lexia-san.

“Um… Lexia-san? Since then, have you learned how to cook…?”

“Of course, I learned how to cook! But there’s something strange. I


don’t know why the chefs at the castle don’t want me to cook for
them. Well, I guess they’re afraid of me because I’m so good!”

“…Sorry, Yuuya. I can’t stop it…!”

“Hey, Luna!”

If you give up right there, I’m in big trouble!

If Luna can’t do it, then I will…! I tried to help her, but Lexia-san was
stubborn and would not let me help her.

“Yuuya-sama! I have to do this myself! Besides, you didn’t let me


cook last time either… This is where I have to show you my skills!”

“Ara, so you cook too, Lexia-chan? Alright, let’s see which one of us
can win Yuuya-kun’s stomach!”

“Iris-san?”

If you say such an incendiary thing───.

“Yuuya-sama’s stomach… Yes, I’m in for that match! I’m not going to
lose to Iris-sama!”

Page | 33
“I’m not going to go easy on you just because you’re a princess, you
know?”

“As you wish!”

Sure enough, Lexia-san, inspired by Iris-san’s words, started cooking


with even more enthusiasm!

“Luna! I want you to stop those two──”

When I looked at Lexia-san and the others, I turned my gaze to the


last resort, Luna, who also had a motivating look on her face.

“Fufufu… Well, if that’s the case, I won’t hold back either!”

“Lu-Luna?”

“‘Yuuya! I’ll be cooking for you too, so you can look forward to it!”

“Eeeehh?”

Luna, who I thought was going to be helping with stopping Lexia-san,


had now declared that she will cook too!

Moreover, just like Iris-san, she throws the ingredients into the air
and cuts them up with her favorite weapon, the thread.

“[Unparalleled Dance]!”
“Eeiii!”

“Haaahh!”

The ingredients danced around them, and sometimes the utensils


flew through the air as the three of them cooked.

(…..)

“…..”

Page | 34
Merl-san and I quietly left the kitchen.

Page | 35
Part 2

Sensing danger, I left the kitchen and played with Night and the
others to relieve my fatigue. Then, for some reason, Lexia-san, who
had black scorch marks all over her body, came to me with a smile.

“Yuuya-sama, it’s ready!”

“Err… are those scorch marks…?”

“Oh, this? Don’t worry! It was just a little mistake!”

A little…?

I was too afraid to ask what happened next, but I didn’t hear any
explosions, so I guess it wasn’t too disastrous.

Behind Lexia-san, Luna turns white as if she has run out of steam, but
she must be okay. Let’s just hope so…!

“Ah, I have prepared for Night and the others as well, so don’t worry
about it!”

“W-woof…”

“Fugo.”

“Pi?”

Night looked somewhat bewildered, as did I. Akatsuki seemed to


have realized something from Lexia-san’s appearance and now wore
a peaceful expression like a bodhisattva.

Ciel is twisting his head curiously as if he still doesn’t understand…


W-well, I guess it’s okay…!

Page | 36
“Fuwaahh… It’s finally done, huh….? Good grief, to make me wait so
long…”

“Limit. My stomach won’t stop rumbling.”

Ouma-san and Yuti seemed to be unconcerned about Lexia-san’s


condition from the start. It’s amazing…

Merl-san and I looked at each other, made up our minds, and moved
to the dining table.

Then, Iris-san had prepared all the dishes and was waiting for us.

Originally, my grandfather and grandmother lived in this house


together, but since my grandmother passed away, my grandfather
had been living alone.

I used to come and visit them often, and my grandpa had bought this
big table for me to have dinner with him. At the time, I thought the
table was too big for the two of us, but my grandpa had taken the
trouble to prepare it for me in case my friends came to stay some
time.

Thanks to this, we were able to have a large group of people around


the table: me and Yuti, plus Iris-san, Lexia-san, Luna, and Merl-san.

Incidentally, Ouma-san and Night and the others have their own
plates and luncheon mats, which they always use to eat their meals.

“Oh, you’ve come.”

“I’m sorry you had to go through all this…”

“No problem! I already told you, right? It’s the master’s role to take
care of the apprentices. But Lexia-chan’s cooking was so creative that
it made things difficult.”

Page | 37
Iris-san told me with a distant look in her eyes, perhaps
remembering the time of cooking. U-um, what kind of cooking did
you do to make that Sword Saint say that much, Lexia-san…!

Well, Iris-san’s cooking method is also quite unique.

As I took my seat, Iris-san and Lexia-san’s eyes lit up brightly.

“Yuuya-kun, can I sit next to you?”

“Yuuya-sama! Excuse me for sitting next to you!”

“Eh?”

I was surprised by the words that were said at the same time, but
Lexia-san and Iris-san faced each other with smiles on their faces. But
even though they should be smiling at each other, their appearance
was somehow frightening.

“Lexia-chan? I think you should give up your seat here to me, Yuuya-
kun’s master.”

“No, no, Iris-sama. I’m very close to Yuuya-sama and even asked him
to marry me! I’ll sit next to him here.”

“No, wait a minute. If Lexia and Iris-sama can’t decide, I’ll be the one
to take──.”

“No! I won’t even give it to Luna!”

“W-wait a moment! D-d-did you just say marriage? Yu-Yuuya-kun!


What the heck does that mean?”

“Eehh?”

The situation was so chaotic that I was taken aback because I didn’t
expect it to come crashing down on me.

Page | 38
It’s true that when I first met Lexia-san, she asked me to marry her
out of the blue, but I guess that was like a suspension bridge effect,
and now we’re friends… or it should be.

In the first place, there was no way that an ordinary person like me
could be matched with a princess like Lexia-san.

“N-no way… B-but, when I look at the way Yuuya-kun is acting, I think
your proposal ended in failure, don’t you think so?”

“Ugh!”

“Fufu, it seems I got it right, doesn’t it? By the way, I’ve seen Yuuya-
kun naked before!”

“”Eeeeehhhhhh!?””

“Iris-saaann!”

The way you said it! That’s going to cause a huge misunderstanding!

After being trained by Iris-san, Iris-san herself gave me a massage,


and I’m pretty sure I was only naked on the top half of my body at
that time…

But it was really just my upper body! And it’s not like I’m the one
who offered it!

Lexia-san and Luna shouted in astonishment at Iris-san’s tone-deaf


remark, and Merl-san also widened her eyes.

When I hurriedly tried to clear up the misunderstanding, Lexia-san


looked at me with tears in her eyes.

“──fair.”

“Eh?”

“──That’s not fair! I want to see Yuuya-sama naked too!”

Page | 39
“Lexia-saaan?”

That’s a horrible thing to say!

When I was no longer in the mood to eat, Yuti sat down next to me
with an unconcerned look on her face.

“””Ah!”””

“Pointless. Hurry up and eat.”

“I don’t want to be bothered by your petty squabbles. How long do


you intend to leave us here?”

“”…..””

Overwhelmed by the presence of not only Yuti but also a slightly


irritated Ouma-san, Iris-san, Lexia-san, and Luna sat down on the
empty seat quietly.

Seeing this, Merl-san also sat down at the last available seat, and we
finally began to eat…

“Here, Yuuya-kun?”

“U-um… Iris-san?”

For some reason, Iris-san offered me a spoon with an amazing smile.


The spoon was topped with a dish that Iris-san had made this time.

“Um… I can eat it myself…”

“No! You have not yet recovered your strength, right? So, be quiet
and let me take care of you.”

“It’s not that serious.”

Page | 40
I’m not so tired that I can’t eat by myself, regardless of how
exhausted I am. But Iris-san ignored my words and offered me a
spoonful.

“Don’t worry about that; just eat.”

“What do you mean?”

“Yuuya-sama! You have to eat the food I made too!”

“Eeh? Uhh?”

This time, Lexia-san also offered me a spoon, but what was on it was
a mysterious purple object that I couldn’t figure out how it was
cooked. Moreover, the food on the spoon looked like magma, with
bubbles bursting out of it, even though the spoon that was held close
to me was filled with cold air. What kind of cooking did you really
do?

As I was puzzled in a different way from Iris-san’s offer, a third spoon


was offered to me from another direction.

“Eh?”

“…Eat up. I’ve made it for you.”

Luna’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she held out the


spoon.

As the three spoons approached me, I was confused as to what to


do, and Merl-san, who was watching the scene, muttered.

(This planet… no, is it the culture of the world beyond that door? It’s
very interesting that you would offer a piece of your food… to
another person.”

“Delicious. It’s delicious.”

Page | 41
Looking at Yuti and Merl-san, who were going at their own pace, I
felt a lot of envy, but I kept thinking desperately about how I could
get out of this situation.

***

“Err… what the heck happened while I went shopping?”

“…There were various things. Various things…”

Kagurazaka-san looked at me with a puzzled expression as I finished


eating Iris-san’s homemade meal, and instead of resting my body, I
was mentally exhausted.

This may be the first time I’ve ever had a meal that exhausted me to
this extent…

By the way, Kagurazaka-san’s meal was also prepared for her while
she was out shopping, and when she finished eating it, we finally got
to see the clothes she had bought.

“I think I’ve bought clothes that will suit everyone, so check them out
for yourself.”

“So these are clothes from the other world!”

“This is amazing… It feels different from linen and silk… The design of
the clothes is also very different from our world.”

“Yes. What can I say…? It doesn’t look very comfortable to move


around in, though.”

Lexia-san and the others held the clothes that Kagurazaka-san had
bought in their hands and observed them with great interest.

Page | 42
Speaking of which, there are no clothes made of chemical fiber in the
other world, and in this world, you don’t have to worry about being
attacked by monsters, so most of the clothes are made with the
priority of design rather than ease of movement.

But even so, some Earth clothes are easier to move in than they look,
and there are also clothes like jerseys and gym uniforms that are
designed for movement, so I guess it’s hard to say.

Well, the purpose of this trip was to allow Lexia-san and the others
to go sightseeing normally, so I asked Kagurazaka-san to prepare
some fashionable clothes that were common on Earth.

“I’ll try it on right away!”

“Eh?”

When Lexia-san said that, she suddenly started to take off her
clothes!

“W-wait, Lexia! Don’t change your clothes while he is still here!”

“Eh? Why not?”

For some reason, when Kagurazaka-san desperately tried to stop her,


Lexia-san had a strange expression on her face.

Luna pressed her forehead in response to Lexia-san’s actions.

“This fool… Mai, forgive her. Lexia is royalty, you know. She doesn’t
have much of a sense of shame about it, probably because she’s
used to having people take her clothes off for her.”

“Ah… well, even nobles have similar customs, but not all of them,
you know? I don’t know if Lexia-chan is special or if it’s her father’s
education policy, but I think she hasn’t learned these things properly
yet.”

Page | 43
Kagurazaka-san’s eyes widened at Luna and Iris-san’s explanation.

Considering how her father, Arnold-sama, doted on Lexia-san, I think


Iris-san’s words were not a lie.

“T-the other world, or rather the royal family, is amazing… but that’s
not the point! Because bad things are still bad things. You too, don’t
just sit there and do nothing, get out of here right now!”

“Y-yes!”

With Kagurazaka-san’s words, I left the room as if I had been shot.

After spending some time interacting with Night and the others,
Kagurazaka-san gave me permission to come back.

Then…

“What do you think, Yuuya-sama?”

Page | 44
Page | 45
“I don’t know what to say… I feel strange because I’m not used to
wearing normal clothes, but it’s surprisingly easy to move around.”

“Yes. It’s easier to move than I thought… I think I can handle an


enemy attack in this.”

In contrast to her usual gorgeous dress, Lexia-san has the air of a


secluded young lady, and Luna is wearing a skirt instead of her usual
pants.

And Iris-san wore a shirt with a large opening at the chest, giving her
the air of a mature woman.

All of them were wearing Earth clothes in a very fashionable way. I-


it’s amazing…

“…I know I picked it out myself, but doesn’t it look too good on
everyone? It’s on a level that most celebrities can’t compete with.”

As Kagurazaka-san said, each of them had their own unique


atmosphere and an overwhelming aura comparable to that of the
top model Miu-san.

As I was being pressured by the three of them, Lexia-san came close


to me.

“So, what do you think?”

“Y-yes. I think it looks great on everyone…”

I thought so from the bottom of my heart, but I was too embarrassed


to praise them face to face, so I managed to squeeze it out, and
Lexia-san gave me a slightly dissatisfied look.

Page | 46
“Mmm… I would like to hear some more from you, but… oh well!
More importantly, let’s go see the world where Yuuya-sama lives as
soon as possible!”

“H-hey!”

“Ah! It’s not fair, Lexia-chan! Yuuya-kun belongs to me, his master!”

“No! He belongs to me!”

“I don’t belong to anyone!”

“Geez… I wonder if this is going to be okay…”

While Luna sighed behind my back, Lexia-san and Iris-san took my


arm, and we went out of the Earth’s house.

Page | 47
Part 3

“A-amazing…!”

“There really is no magic at all…”

“No one even carries a weapon…”

As soon as they left the house, Lexia-san and the others were
stunned as they looked at the people and the streets on the way.

For your information, Night and Merl-san did not come with us on
this sightseeing trip. I thought that Ouma-san would come along with
us, but he seemed to be staying at home because it was too noisy
with Lexia-san and the others around.

Yuti was also staying at home to do some training, probably because


she received a request from Merl-san, and Merl-san will accompany
her in her training. I wanted to train too, but Iris-san had stopped me
from doing so…

To be honest, the fight with Drade was so close that I was impatient
to restart my training right away, but the fatigue from the battle
hadn’t worn off yet, and I was told that pushing too hard now would
have the opposite effect.

If that’s the case, I think it would be better for me to stay home and
relax… but the momentum of Lexia-san and Iris-san pushed me over
the edge, and I decided to go with them. Fortunately, Kagurazaka-
san is also coming along, so even if something happens, it will be
possible to deal with it to some extent.

However…

“H-hey…”

Page | 48
“Whoa! W-what the heck is that group?”

“Are they celebrities…?”

“But I’ve never seen such a beautiful group of people.”

──Lexia-san and the others were very conspicuous.

When people on the street saw Lexia-san and the others, they would
stare at them with wide eyes.

Some of them were so fascinated with us that they turned around


and almost bumped into other people, making us feel on edge.

Then Lexia-san tilted her head in response to the stares.

“Isn’t that strange? Thanks to Mai, we should feel comfortable with


our appearance, so why are people looking at us like this?”

“Surely… the people of this world wouldn’t know that Lexia is a


princess.”

“It’s not like they know I’m a Sword Saint either… so I’m not sure.”

“…You really don’t get it, do you?”

“Oh, hahaha…”

I could only smile bitterly in response to Kagurazaka-san’s tired tone.

The people in the surroundings were in a buzz because of the


appearance of the three of them, who were not surprised to be
called celebrities. But it was because Lexia-san and the others, who
did not know the concept of celebrities, did not understand.

There may be stage actors and the like in the other world, but since
there is no TV or movies like on Earth, there must be a big difference
like that.

Page | 49
As I continued sightseeing while thinking about this, We were
suddenly approached by a voice.

“U-um! May I have a moment of your time?”

“Eh?”

When we turned toward the voice, there was a woman there.

The woman seemed to be looking at Lexia-san and the others, and


although Luna and Iris-san looked slightly alarmed at the contact
from an unknown person, the woman did not notice.

And Lexia-san, who was approached, lightly restrained Luna and


spoke to her with a smile.

“No problem. What can I do for you?”

“!?”

The woman admired the elegant smile on Lexia-san’s face.

As I looked around and wondered who the woman was, I suddenly


realized something.

…Eh? Do Lexia-san and the others understand Japanese?

Thinking about it, I usually casually talk with Lexia-san and the
others, but without the [Language Comprehension] skill, I would not
be able to understand them…

However, when I think back on it now, Yuti, Kaori, and even


Kagurazaka-san were having very normal conversations with their
counterparts in the other world. What’s really going on here?

It’s possible that when Kagurazaka-san was summoned, something


that allowed her to learn languages was incorporated into her magic.

Page | 50
However, Kaori and Yuti could carry out conversations themselves
even in a situation where they didn’t have any special skills.

I wonder if the language learning function was attached to the basic


feature of the [Door to Another World]?

If so, it’s so strange that they couldn’t understand Merl-san’s words…


Or is it because the worlds that are connected are the other world
and the Earth, and it is set to learn only the language of those two?

I didn’t realize this until recently… It might be a good idea to look


into the [Door to Another World] more. Rather, it was wrong that I
didn’t look into it properly until now.

The woman who was admiring Lexia-san’s smile quickly came to her
senses as I was thinking about the door again and took out
something from her bag.

“I’m from ‘Star Production’…”

“Production?”

The woman who approached us was a scout for an entertainment


agency! The buzz around us grew louder at the sight of us.

“H-hey, ‘Star Productions’ is…”

“It’s an agency that has very famous celebrities, right?”

“Yes, yes! The model Miu is very popular these days, isn’t she?”

“It’s not real, is it? Scouting on the street nowadays is suspicious,


isn’t it…?”

“Real or fake, if they look like that, it’s no wonder they were
scouted…”

Page | 51
It seemed that the agency of the woman who approached us was
from the same agency that Miu-san belonged to.

Then I noticed that Kagurazaka-san was stunned.

“Kagurazaka-san? Are you okay?”

“Ha! I’m not okay! It’s that Star Production, you know!?”

“I-I heard it’s some kind of amazing place.”

“Why are you so calm? Star Production is one of the most popular
entertainment agencies in Japan, and all the actresses and actors
belonging to them are top class, you know?”

I didn’t know that Miu-san belonged to such a great agency…

I’m not familiar with the entertainment industry, so I can’t say for
sure, but from the looks of Kagurazaka-san, there are probably actors
and actresses I know who are from there.

As Kagurazaka-san’s momentum was getting the better of her, the


scout lady didn’t try to solicit her enthusiastically on the spot but
instead handed over her business card and simply told Lexia-san to
contact her if she was interested, and then left.

Then, Lexia-san looked at the business card in her hand, and her eyes
widened.

“Lexia-san, what happened?”

“This card… the material it’s made of and the printing… it’s made
with incredible technology, right…?”

“Is that where you’re surprised?”

If it’s a business card from a famous agency, it’s likely to be made


from high-quality paper.

Page | 52
***

“Phew, I’m really tired.”

After that, Lexia-san and the others went for a very long walk in the
streets near my house.

From my point of view and Kagurazaka-san’s point of view, it was


refreshing to see how surprised they were by the cars and traffic
lights, which were not particularly unusual.

We decided to take a short break, so we stopped at a nearby park.


Children were playing in the park, and there was a little food stall
nearby, which smelled good.

“It smells so good just now… What is that smell?”

“That’s… a sweet food called crepes.”

“””Sweet…”””

“It looks like there’s a lot more to it than that…”

At a quick glance, I saw that there were more varieties of tapioca and
kebabs than I expected. I wonder if there are always this many stalls
here.

I finished my explanation, but Lexia-san and the others were all


staring at the crepe stall.

“…um, would you like to try some?”

“””I want it!”””

A-amazing… I thought we just had lunch a while ago…!

Page | 53
I guess they have a different appetite for sweets.

When all three of them said that at the same time, we headed to the
crepe stall.

“T-there are so many kinds of crepes…”

“But… we can’t read the words here…”

“Eh? You’re right… we do seem to understand the language, but


why?”

As expected, Lexia-san and the others can not read the menu of the
crepe stall, and they are confused.

I think it’s fair to say that it’s the [Doorway to Another World] that
allows conversations to work. As for reading and writing, language
skills are essential.

I explained the menu to the three of them as an interpreter, and


they each decided on their own.

“Um… Lexia-san ordered a strawberry crepe, Luna ordered a


chocolate banana crepe , Iris-san ordered a caramel crepe, and
Kagurazaka-san ordered a berry crepe, right? I’ll bring them to you,
and you can all sit on an empty bench somewhere and wait.”

I said this to Lexia-san and the others and waited alone for the
crepes to be prepared.

Five minutes later.

I dexterously took the finished crepe and looked for Lexia-san and
the others.

Then I was able to find them without any trouble, but I noticed that
there was an unfamiliar group of men there.

Page | 54
…I wonder what it is; I have a bad feeling about this…

As I approached them with this in mind, sure enough, Lexia-san and


the others were getting tangled up with the men.

“Hey, hey, come on! Just play with us a little.”

“Yeah, yeah! It’s definitely more fun to play with us than with that
guy!”

“If he sees us, he’ll back off gracefully!”

It seems that they are being seduced, and they all have troublesome
expressions on their faces.

As I hurried to join them, one of the men in the group tried to grab
Lexia-san’s hand, perhaps having lost his nerve!

“Don’t be like that… Hey, let’s go together!”

“Lexia-san!”

The moment I tried to intervene between the men and Lexia-san, the
men stopped moving as if they were tied to the spot.

“A-ah?”

“W-what the hell is this?”

“I-I can’t move!”

“I-it hurts!”

When I looked closely, I could see strings wrapped around the men’s
bodies before long. Is this… Luna’s work?

I had said that it was not allowed to carry weapons when touring the
Earth, but if it were Luna’s weapon, it certainly wouldn’t normally be

Page | 55
seen, and more importantly, since she was Lexia-san’s escort, she
couldn’t really be without a weapon.

Then Luna stood in between Lexia-san and the men and let out a
sigh.

“Sigh… how dare you interfere with the fun we were having here?”

“H-huh? W-what is this? Is this your doing?”

They were desperately trying to escape from Luna’s thread, but the
more they moved, the more the thread dug into their bodies.

“It hurts!”

“Why is it digging into me?”

I couldn’t just sit here and watch, so I quickly joined them.

“E-excuse me! Are you okay?”

“Oh, Yuuya-sama! Of course, we’re fine!”

“…Sure, you’re fine, but Luna, you know, she was… hiding it, after
all.”

Kagurazaka-san let out a sigh of disbelief.

If possible, the two of us would have preferred it to end without any


trouble, but it’s hard to do that when so many outstanding people
are together.

“Damn it! Let me go right now!”

I had a lot on my mind, but as I’m thinking about what to do about


this situation, Luna, who had heard the men’s words, told them with
a look of disgust.

Page | 56
“You think I’m going to let you go quietly after you say that? You’re
going to stay like that for a while…”

“Luna-san, you should let them go.”

“What? Iris-sama?”

Luna looked surprised at Iris-san’s words.

“Sure, we can just leave them here and go, but we don’t want them
messing with the other girls again, do we? That’s why I think we
should ── make sure they understand what’s going on here.”

“I-Iris-san?”

As Luna-san’s cheeks twitched, it seemed as if she understood what


Iris-san meant, and she released the men from their restraints.

“Huh! I can move!”

“Tch! If you think you can get away with this… don’t joke with me!”

“Iris-san!”

“It’s okay.”

The men who were able to move suddenly attacked Iris-san, and I
tried to move to deal with them immediately, but Iris-san stopped
me.

And then──.

“Fuh…!”

“””Gaahh!?”””

When Iris-san unleashed a brilliant spinning kick at the nearest man,


the other men were caught up in it and were blown away! The

Page | 57
impact was so great that the men seemed to have been knocked
unconscious by a single kick from Iris-san.

“They’re so sloppy, aren’t they? I wonder if we can just go about


normally without any danger?”

While Kagurazaka-san and I were appalled by Iris-san’s actions, Lexia-


san and Luna nodded to Iris-san’s words.

“I think so. I’ve seen a lot of things over the day, and I’ve learned a
lot about the world that Yuuya lives in… and it really doesn’t seem to
be dangerous.”

“Well, that’s why we can go sightseeing with peace of mind, right?


More importantly, let’s eat the crepes that Yuuya-sama bought for
us!”

With Lexia-san’s words, each of them started to eat their crepes.


Then, all three of them widened their eyes at the same time.

“T-this is… it’s ridiculously delicious!”

“I’ve never tasted anything so delicious before!”

“…Even Lexia, a member of the royal family, said that. It must be a


very expensive food… and there is no way that such delicious food
can be easily obtained…”

Page | 58
Page | 59
Iris-san and Lexia-san were enjoying themselves without hesitation,
but Luna seemed to have misunderstood something…

“Um… well, it’s not something I eat that often, but crepes aren’t
particularly rare, you know?”

“Yeah… it’s not like these crepes are particularly expensive either…”

As Kagurazaka-san and I explained, Lexia-san stared at the crepe in


her hand in astonishment.

“That’s… I never thought such delicious food could be so common…


I’ve decided. I will live in this world!”

“Lexia-san!”

“Hey, Lexia! You’re the princess of the Alceria Kingdom!”

“I can’t resist it! I mean, I can get all these amazing things, and there
are all sorts of other delicious things too! How can you not want to
live in such a fascinating world?”

“That’s true, but…”

“Well, I’m afraid you can’t, Lexia-chan, because you’re royalty. Since
I’m not royalty, maybe I’ll live in this world? Of course, in Yuuya-
kun’s house!”

“H-hey, Iris-sama! I can’t let you do that! Right, Yuuya-sama?”

“Even if you were to refuse me right there…”

Page | 60
As the three of them continued to talk at their own pace,
Kagurazaka-san and I could only pray that nothing more would
happen.

Part 4

While Yuuya and the others were sightseeing on Earth…

In the other world, Usagi was on his way to the place where the
“Magic Saint ” lived in order to help Merl.

Previously, Usagi and Iris had been traveling to the Magic Saint’s
place, but they ended up seeing Yuuya, so they postponed it.

As a result, he was once again pushing forward through the


mountains against the powerful monsters of [Sky Mountain].

(Fuh!)

“Gugyaaaa!”

However, even the powerful monsters were powerless in front of


Usagi and each of them was brought down with a single kick.

(Good grief… to live in such a troublesome place. I wish you would


consider the people who are going to visit your home.)

Usagi went on, complaining about the “Magic Saint” who was not
present.

However, after a certain amount of progress, he suddenly stopped.

(Well… this is where it starts.)

Unlike before, Usagi braced himself and took a step forward.

At that moment──.

(Tch!)

Page | 62
A magic circle appears above Usagi’s head, and a huge water spear
emerges from it and tries to pierce through Usagi relentlessly. He
jumped to avoid it, but as if his movements had been predicted,
several magic circles appeared in other places, from which water
spears were released one after another.

(The number of these traps… is why I hate this…)

Usagi nimbly dodged the magic while making a disgusted expression


from the bottom of his heart facing the magic that came towards
him.

Then, using a tree as a foothold, he gathered all his strength at once


and gazed toward the mountain summit.

(It’s too much trouble. I’m going to go through with this──!)

When he released all of his accumulated power at once, the trees


and ground that Usagi had used as footholds flew apart from the
impact.

The speed was incredible, and Usagi flew towards the top of the
mountain like a single bullet.

More and more magic circles were added in an attempt to shoot


down Usagi as he ran across the mountain, but they were unable to
catch him.

In the end, the magic didn’t hit Usagi until the end, and he reached
the top of the mountain.

(I have arrived, huh?)

In front of Usagi’s eyes, there stood a wooden house that gave off an
atmosphere similar to that of Yuuya’s house in the [Great Devil’s
Nest], and it was surrounded by a fence.

Page | 63
As Usagi approached the house without any particular hesitation, a
figure appeared from the inside of the fence.

“Huh? Is someone here?”

“Huh? It looks like someone’s here.”

“Do you know Master?”

“You must know Master.”

Then there were two girls looking around. Moreover, the girls had
identical faces and were definitely twins.

Usagi was also faintly surprised, as she hadn’t expected to find


another human in the place where the “Magic Saint” lived but was
quickly convinced.

(…Did he take a disciple too? Even though he was originally a


misanthrope… I guess it’s not completely impossible, huh?)

The twins’ eyes widened when they finally saw Usagi as he headed
towards the entrance while muttering this.

“Wow! Is that a rabbit?”

“Wow! It’s a rabbit!”

The twins had not expected the visitor (?) to be a rabbit. They ran
back toward the house, their eyes shining with excitement.

“Master! A rabbit is coming?”

“Master! A rabbit is coming!”

“──What’s all the noise?”

Then another figure appeared from inside the house. The person had
slightly different features from a normal human.

Page | 64
He had long blond hair, green eyes, and long pointed ears. His
eyebrows were wrinkled, and he wore glasses, which suggested that
he had a somewhat serious personality.

The guy who had just appeared seemed to be bothered by the twins
but suddenly seemed to notice a presence at the entrance…

“Hmm? You are…”

(You look no different, Odis.)

The man Usagi addressed as Odis widened his eyes slightly, but his
expression quickly changed to one of annoyance.

“…So, Usagi, huh? As you can see, I’m busy. Go back now.”

(You don’t look so busy, though.)

Odis let out a big sigh at Usagi, who didn’t seem to be leaving.

“…Sigh. It’s okay. So, what are you doing here? Did you encounter
any Evil guy?”

(…You really don’t know anything, do you…?)

“Mmm?”

The fact that Odis, who was the Magic Saint, was unaware of the fact
that Evil had appeared in the first place made Usagi want to hold his
head.

(…Evil had appeared. It’s also the ultimate perfection.)

“Wha? What does that mean? I don’t know anything about that!”

(That’s because you’re a shut-in…)

Page | 65
Usagi’s head hurted more and more as Odis showed no signs of
being offended. Then the twins, who were watching the exchange
between the two, looked at each other.

“Is Master a shut-in?”

“Master is a shut-in.”

“Shut up, you two.”

Usagi also looked at the twins again and asked Odis.

(Are those humans your disciples?)

“Yes. That’s because they have something special for a human.”

(It’s unusual, isn’t it? I thought that if you were to take an


apprentice, it would be an elf as well…)

“Hmm. It would be nothing more than a hassle to take on such a


haughty bunch as my disciples.”

(…Those words come straight back at you.)

Usagi let out a sigh of exasperation.

“It’s not about that! I don’t think we have time to talk here. The Evil
has appeared, hasn’t it? If that’s the case, let the other Holy──.”

(Didn’t you hear? I told you they had appeared.)

“…What? What do you mean…?”

This is where Odis finally understood what Usagi was talking about,
and he gave him a dubious look.

“Then what is it? That Evil has already been defeated?”

(Yes.)

Page | 66
“…..”

With the fact that it was so quickly admitted, Odis fell silent.

Then Usagi gave Odis some additional information.

(As I mentioned earlier, Evil has become the ultimate perfection.)

“That’s it! I was curious. What is it? What is that ultimate


perfection…?”

(It’s just that. It means that it has taken in the other Evil and
appeared as the one and only Evil that is complete.)

“Can such an existence really be defeated? Or is it possible that Evil


was even weaker than we imagined?

(No. It’s more like the opposite. There’s no way I could have
defeated it, and neither could Iris.)

“──”

It was because Odis was well aware of Usagi’s and Iris’s skills as a
Kicking Saint and a Sword Saint that he was taken aback by Usagi’s
words.

After hearing everything that was said up to this point, Odis realized
that there were more things happening in the world outside of his
house than he thought.

(Don’t worry. I’ll explain everything to you in detail. That’s one of the
reasons I came to see you, you know.)

“…Alright. Go inside. You two, prepare the tea.”

“”Yes.””

When Odis invited him into the house, Usagi explained everything
that had happened to him.

Page | 67
The fact that Usagi made Yuuya his disciple, and then Iris also
became his master.

And the fact that Yuuya’s family defeated the Evil instead…

He told him everything.

After listening to the story, Odis held his head, which was a complete
change from the beginning.

“I’ve been studying magic for a while now…”

(Well, it’s not something you’d believe, is it?)

“Of course, the Evil story is one thing, but as for me, I’m also
surprised that Usagi and Iris took on an apprentice. Well… if he’s not
the kind of person who can inherit your skills, he won’t be able to
compete with the Evil…”

After convincing himself of this, Odis looked at Usagi again.

“So, you’re here only to report that the Evil has been defeated?”

(Hmm? You’re surprisingly calm. I thought you would be angrier,


but…)

“Don’t make fun of me. I didn’t even know that the outside world
was in such a state; I had no right to be angry. Although I’m not sure
how your apprentice beat it…”

(Hmph… Well, at least we won’t be fighting Evil in our generation


ever again. More importantly, while it is true that reporting is one of
the reasons why I came to see you, the original purpose is another.)

Usagi then explained in detail again about his apprentice Yuuya being
from another world and about the alien invaders from outer space,
the Dragonias, and Merl, another alien who had begged for help
from their invasion.

Page | 68
Then──.

“What the hell is that situation…!”

Odis held his head.

“It’s not just that it’s a different world, but that it’s in space? How
much more confusing can it get…!”

The twin disciples, who had never seen the Magic Saint distraught
before, were wide-eyed at their master’s appearance.

“Wow. Master is confused, isn’t he?”

“Yes. Master is confused.”

(…Well, I can’t understand what is going on either. But it’s also true
that I actually saw them and fought them.)

For a while, Usagi ignored Odis, who could not seem to recover from
his confusion and turned his gaze to the twins.

(So, what about you two?)

“Ah! We haven’t introduced ourselves yet?”

“We didn’t introduce ourselves!”

“I’m Ruri!

“I’m Rill!”

“”It’s nice to meet you!””

Page | 69
Page | 70
Ruri and Rill bowed together.

Both of them have green hair in side-tails, each tied on the opposite
side.

Although there are some differences other than their appearance,


such as how Ruri often speaks in the question form, it would be hard
to tell them apart if you are not used to it.

While listening to the names of these two, Usagi was assessing their
abilities.

(Fumu… Rather than saying that each person is complete, would it be


correct to say that the two of them are one person?)

“Oh, you understand perfectly, don’t you? We’re only half a person
when we’re alone, but our master says that when we’re together,
we’re one person.”

“Well, I’d like to be called full-fledged when I’m alone…”

“…Hmm. Even with two, you’re still only half as good, you idiot.”

“”Eeh?””

After recovering from his confusion, Odis said to them and faced
Usagi again.

“I understand the situation for the moment. So what do you want


from me?”

(It’s not that difficult. I just need you to lend us a hand. As I said
before, the alien is asking for our help. My apprentice is going to take
care of it, and Iris and I will lend a hand with it. Thanks to my
apprentice, we were able to defeat the Evil. We can say that we will

Page | 71
repay that debt. However, as we found out after fighting the aliens,
we are not strong enough to fight them alone. That’s why I’ve come
to ask for your help as well.)

“Cooperation, huh…? From what I’ve heard, that world and universe
seem to be an environment where the power of science, not magic,
has a strong influence. I’d be interested to see if there’s any new
magic technology out there that I haven’t seen before…”

When Odis said that, Usagi suddenly remembered Yuuya’s house.

(By the way, the house where my apprentice lives uses barrier magic
that I’ve never seen before.)

“What?”

(I’ve seen many of the magic you use, but it’s even more powerful
than that. It’s a barrier that allows him to live safely in the [Great
Devil’s Nest], after all.”

“Barrier?”

(Yeah. It’s a ridiculous barrier that prevents any physical or magical


attack. In fact, even the attacks of the ultimate perfection’s Evil had
no effect at all…)

“Wha!? That would be impossible without the magic of the


legendary sage.”

Hearing Usagi’s words, Odis was once again stunned.

This is because the place where Odis and the others live is also a
dangerous place, and the house where they live now has a magic
barrier around it, just like Yuuya’s house.

However, the barrier was not perfect, and sometimes monsters


entered beyond the barrier.

Page | 72
Despite this, Odis could not imagine that Yuuya’s house was
completely protected from the threat of monsters by the barrier
alone, even though it was located in the more dangerous area called
the [Great Devil’s Nest].

(And then, just as the barrier magic on the house, of course, the
magic controlled by my apprentice who lives there is also non-
standard and powerful. This is a great chance to meet such a man…
Are you interested?)

Odis looked thoughtful for a while, but then he let out a sigh.

“Sigh… If you say so, I’ll have to check.”

When he said that, Odis straightened his posture.

“Alright. I’ll help you fight this alien thing.”

(Is that so?)

“And, is it okay to bring the twins?”

“”Master?””

(That’s fine, but… are you sure? The destination is an unknown


universe, and it’s also quite dangerous, you know?)

The twins, as well as Usagi, were surprised by Odis’s words, and he


nodded.

“I’m aware of that. But you want a fighting force, don’t you? Then
you can use my apprentice. One, or even two, would be of help.”

“”Master. That means that the two of us can be a full-fledged──.””

“Don’t get carried away, fool.”

Although Odis had said so, Usagi had intuitively sensed that the two
of them would actually be able to help.

Page | 73
Usagi nodded while laughing at Odis’s untruthful attitude.

(I understand. Then we’ll head to my apprentice as soon as possible.


Is that okay?)

“Yeah.”

“”Yes!””

──In this way, the “Magic Saint” and his disciple joined the group.

Page | 74
Chapter 2 – Magic Saint

Part 1

(I’m back.)

“Ah, welcome back!”

After we finished the sightseeing tour on Earth, we were relaxing at


my house when Master Usagi returned. He went out of his way to
ask for help from the Magic Saint in order to help Merl-san’s request
as we were sightseeing on Earth.

Before Master Usagi said anything, Merl-san first operated the


terminal so that Master Usagi could also understand the language of
planet Amel.

(…Yes. I think you can understand my language now.)

(…It’s true.)

Master Usagi was surprised that he could now understand Merl-san’s


words.

Then Iris-san called out to Master Usagi.

“So, how did it go? Is he going to help us?”

(Yeah. And his disciple too.)

“His disciple? He has a disciple?”

(Yeah, and it’s a human twin.)

“No way…”

Page | 75
Seeing Iris-san in a daze, I, Lexia-san and the others tilted our heads.

I wonder if it is that strange for the Magic Saint to take a disciple?

…Could it be that he’s a difficult person?

“Well, that’s fine. So, where is the Magic Saint?”

(Oh… he’s outside the other world’s house. Let’s meet him first.)

(R-right. And since he will be helping me this time…)

Merl-san nodded to Master Usagi’s words, and we all headed for the
garden of Sage-san’s house.

Then…

“W-what is this place…?”

“Amazing, isn’t it, Rill?”

“Yes, it is, Ruri!”

There was a man who was looking around Sage-san’s house in


somewhat of a daze and two girls whose faces looked exactly alike.
The girls seemed to be human, but the surprised man had long ears
and looked like an elf from a fairy tale.

Kagurazaka-san seemed to think the same as I did, and her eyes


widened.

“O-oh… He’s not a human, is he?”

“P-probably…”

Well, I’ve met a lot of non-human beings: the Evil isn’t human,
Master Usagi is a rabbit, and Merl-san is an alien, but I’m still
surprised every time I see a race different from humans.

Page | 76
The man who was looking around seemed to have noticed
something and opened his eyes even wider.

“W-wait. This magic… could it possibly belong to the sage…?”

(Odis. I know you’re interested, but why don’t you introduce yourself
first?)

“You still look like an idiot researcher, huh…?”

Master Usagi and Iris-san said to the surprised man… perhaps he is


the Magic Saint.

As if their words had reached his ears, the man looked a little
uncomfortable and came over with the girls.

“U-umu… I’m sorry. I had heard about it from Usagi, but when I saw
it myself, I just couldn’t resist…”

“That’s Master’s bad habit, isn’t it?”

“Yes, Master’s bad habits.”

“Shut up, you two.”

The man was tediously dealing with the girls’ words. Maybe those
girls were his disciples.

The man then came out into the garden and looked over at us.

“So, who’s the owner of this house?”

“Oh, that’s me! My name is Yuuya.”

“You’re Usagi and Iris… Rather than that, what kind of magic is
this…!”

The man stared at my body and then opened his eyes.

Page | 77
“You have very sophisticated magic power constantly flowing
through your magic power circuit… which is nothing short of perfect,
and you have a huge amount of magic power, and yet you are a
disciple of the Kicking Saint and the Sword Saint? That’s nonsense…!”

“Well, everyone feels that way at first, right?”

(Hmph. He has to be that good to be my disciple.)

“What nonsense… No, it’s going to take a long time if we argue here.
I’m Odis, the Magic Saint. And these two are my unworthy
disciples───”

“I’m Ruri!

“I’m Rill!”

“”Nice to meet you!””

That’s how the Magic Saint’s Odis-san and the others introduced
themselves.

As it were, everyone introduced themselves, and then Odis-san


turned his gaze to Merl-san.

“And so, you are the one…”

(Yes. My name is Merl. Thank you so much for lending me your


help… )

Merl-san looked over at us again and bowed her head.

By the way, Merl-san has already operated the terminal so that Odis-
san and his two disciples can understand her language.

Odis-san looked at us again and nodded.

“I see, so these are the people who are going into space this time.”

Page | 78
“Ah, as expected, we can’t take Lexia-san with us, but…”

“Yuuya-sama? I-I’m coming with you too!”

No, Lexia-san. I can’t take a princess with me…

Luna is also holding her head at Lexia-san’s words.

“Hey, Lexia… what can you do if you follow them…?”

“I can cook!”

“Yuuya. I’ll do whatever I can to stop her.”

It would help if you did.

I’m glad Lexia-san said that, but her cooking is very unique…

And I don’t think I have enough energy to fight while protecting


Lexia-san and the others.

When I thought about it, I realized that I hadn’t introduced Ouma-


san, who was the only one sleeping in the house.

“Oh, he hasn’t shown up here, but there’s a dragon in my house


named Ouma-san.”

“…Usagi had told me about him, I believe he is the Genesis Dragon…”

“Yes. He usually sleeps all the time, but he’s very reliable, you
know?”

“Hmm… if there’s the Genesis Dragon, we should be safe unless


something goes wrong…”

“Err… Ouma-san is capricious, so I’m not sure if he would


cooperate…”

“──I can hear you.”

Page | 79
Then Ouma-san spoke directly into my head from inside the house.

“The Genesis Dragon alone is a surprise, but the wolf, pig, and the
bird are no ordinary magical beasts either… Who are you, really…?”

“E-even if you say so…”

“Woof.”

“Fugo.”

“Pii?”

“”They’re so cute!””

When I was at a loss as to what to say in response to Odis-san’s


words, Ruri and Rill raised their voices when they saw the reaction of
Night and the others. Night and the others are cute, indeed.

Then Luna, who had been watching our exchange, opened her
mouth in exasperation.

“…But then again, Yuuya has surprised me since the first time I met
him… I never thought I’d get to know the Holy like this…”

“This is because it’s Yuuya-sama! It’s only natural!”

“I don’t know why you’re being so pompous, but maybe you’re


right…”

I don’t think it’s because of me, but as Luna said, you wouldn’t
normally expect to be acquainted with people with titles like the
Holy.

When I was feeling this way about Luna’s words, Odis-san


approached me with a slightly excited look.

“By the way, Yuuya-dono!”

Page | 80
“Y-yes!”

“I’ve been thinking about this house for a while now… Are you the
one who activated the barrier that surrounds this house?”

At Odis-san’s question, Master Usagi, Iris-san, and also Luna were all
looking at me as if they were curious.

Speaking of which, I explained that the barrier would prevent


monsters from coming in, but I don’t think I told them that this
house was actually Sage-san’s house…

“Err… there’s actually something I haven’t told you guys…”

“Something you haven’t told us?”

“Yes. Actually, this place was originally Sage-san’s house…”

“‘”S-sage!?”””

“Not only the house but also my magic circuit and the weapon I use
were all inherited from Sage-san…”

“””Inherited?”””

Hearing my explanation, not only Odis-san, but also Iris-san and


others widened their eyes.

Even the usually calm Master Usagi froze at my words…

“W-what’s wrong?”

“Wait, Yuuya-kun! What’s wrong, you say? No, no, no! Is this really
the house of the sage?”

“T-that’s right.”

“…Yuuya, you don’t seem to understand how amazing it is…”

Page | 81
N-no, Luna-san. I’ve already gotten accustomed to the fact that it’s
so natural for Sage-san to be amazing…

Feeling uncomfortable, Odis-san continued in an increasingly excited


manner.

“L-listen, Yuuya-dono! The sage is a legendary existence that


everyone who lives in this world has heard of! He is a miraculous
person who is said to have died as a human being while holding the
power of a god in his possession! Every country is searching for the
research materials and magic left behind by such a sage and is
desperately studying them. But, to inherit the legacy of the sage in
such a simple way… and even though you are from another world…
how can anyone not be surprised by that?”

“A-as expected of Sage-san…”

It’s really amazing that even after death, he can still have such an
impact on future generations.

Then Odis-san shouted as if he noticed something.

“You said that you inherited… but are you sure that the sage hasn’t
died yet?”

“Ah, no… Sage-san is already dead. I didn’t even know that I had
inherited it until I read the letter that was left in the house…”

“Y-you mean he foresaw that someone would come to this place


sooner or later…? I should say that he was indeed a sage, but as
legend has it, he is no longer with us…”

“Yes.. it seems that he died quietly in a cave in the depths of this


[Great Devil’s Nest].”

“A cave?”

Page | 82
“Yes. That’s where I found Sage-san’s body.”

“What? Is that true?”

“Y-yes.”

Odis-san came up to me while breathing hard.

“Where is it? Does it still exist?”

“Um…”

Of course, I remember the place where I found Sage-san’s body.

However, the area was recently wiped out by Avis, so I did not know
what happened to it.

“I remember the location, but the battle with Avis the other day
wiped out most of the [Great Devil’s Nest]… I’m not sure if it’s still
safe or not…”

“….It’s hard to believe that most of the [Great Devil’s Nest] were
wiped out, but that’s how strong the ultimate perfection’s Evil was.
But even if they are not safe, as a magician, I still want to take a look
at the place where the sage lies. Please, take me there.”

Odis-san lowered his head as he said that.

I don’t mind that, but Merl-san is also in a difficult situation, so I


looked at her, and she nodded.

(It’s fine with me. The place where this sage lies isn’t far away, is it?)

“Yes, you’re right.”

(If that’s the case, let’s head there once and then depart again. Since
you’re helping me, I have no problem with that.)

Page | 83
As we were preparing to leave immediately, Ouma-san, who had
been sleeping at home, came over.

“Hmm? What’s wrong, Ouma-san?”

“You are going to the place where the sage is lying, aren’t you? If so,
I’m coming with you.”

By the way, I never properly explained to Ouma-san where Sage-san


was lying…

As I was regretting that I should have told him earlier, I saw Lexia-san
and Luna.

“I’m so excited to be going to the place where that sage is lying…!”

“No, we’d better get back.”

“Eh? W-wait, Luna!”

It seems that Luna has decided to leave at this time.

Just like Lexia-san, Kagurazaka-san was surprised by the suddenness


of the event, but she also understood and nodded in agreement.

“We went out to register Mai in the adventurer’s guild to give her
some combat experience. So we happened to head to Yuuya’s
house… As expected, we can’t just follow him. We’re not going to
hold them back any longer.”

“N-no way…!”

“What about Mai? Do you want to leave Yuuya’s house and go back
to your world?”

“…Yes. But the Evil Beasts are still in this world, aren’t they? If that’s
the case, I’ll stay here for a little while longer.”

Page | 84
“I see… that makes sense. Lexia, the three of us are going back to the
Regal Kingdom.”

“N-nooooooo!”

Lexia-san, who was acting like a spoiled child, was not very princess-
like.

However, Iris-san and the others agreed with Luna’s idea, so in the
end, she agreed.

Once the preparations were complete, we took Lexia-san and the


others to the [Great Devil’s Nest] entrance and parted ways with the
three of them once again.

“See you then. I think it’s safe to say that you’ll be fine with such a
strong lineup, but… be careful.”

“Yes, thank you.”

When I nodded at Luna’s words, Lexia-san looked at me with tears in


her eyes.

“Ugh… Yuuya-sama…”

“W-well…”

I didn’t know what to say to her in this situation, and I could only be
confused.

“Ah, Kagurazaka-san, if you want to come back to Earth, you can


always go back from my house, so don’t worry. As expected, it’s
dangerous to go through the [Great Devil’s Nest] alone, so you’ll
probably have to go back with Iris-san or me, but at least you can go
home by yourself.”

“Yes, I understand. I will continue to work in the Regal Kingdom for a


while, so please come and get me if anything happens.”

Page | 85
“Yes!”

After exchanging a few words with each of the three, they left.

And…

“Alright, then… let’s head to the cave!”

I once again head to the place where Sage-san lies.

Page | 86
Part 2

“It’s amazing… It looks as though it’s almost back to normal already.”

As we all walked through the [Great Devil’s Nest] on our way to the
place where Sage-san lies, I couldn’t help but look around at my
surroundings and say that.

The depths of the [Great Devil’s Nest], which had been obliterated
by Avis’s attack and reduced to nothing but a desolate wasteland,
were already covered with plants that were close to the original
[Great Devil’s Nest].

“Crazy. The growth rate of the organisms here is strange.”

(I guess the environment of this forest is special after all…)

Yuti and Merl-san could not help but be astonished at the scene
before their eyes.

However, as expected, the monsters had yet to completely return,


and there was no sign of them attacking at all.

“So this is the vegetation of the [Great Devil’s Nest], huh…?”

Then Odis-san observed the surrounding vegetation with interest


and collected some of them.

“Um… are you going to use those plants for something?”

“Hmm? No, this is just my research. As you can see, I’m an elf… and
I’m studying plants all over the world to see if there’s anything that
can help me develop my magic.”

“Heh! So the plants that grow here are not normal?”

Page | 87
“Yes. First of all, I’m surprised that the black hardwood tree can grow
here in such a normal way… There are also many other plants that
I’ve never seen before. I really wish I could have explored this place
earlier… but it’s just too dangerous here. I don’t think I’d want to
come to a place like this on my own if I didn’t have Usagi, Iris, or
even Yuuya-dono to help me.”

“B-but Iris-san and Master Usagi come to my house rather normally,


you know?”

Yes, I often hear about the dangers of the [Great Devil’s Nest] from
the people around me, but for all that, the two of them came to my
house without hesitation.

But Odis-san shook his head at my words.

“Don’t lump me in with those two. They are out of the ordinary
among the Holy, you know. Besides, I’m not that good at fighting.”

“Hey! You can’t talk about me like I’m a monster.”

(That’s right. And it’s no different from the fact that this place is
dangerous for us as well. It’s just that the area around Yuuya’s house
is still manageable. As expected, I can’t even think about living
there.)

As I always thought, Sage-san, who would build a house in such a


place, was a crazy person.

With a wry smile on my face, I called out to one of the twins… Ruri-
san, who was looking at the surrounding plants in the same way as
Odis-san.

“Ruri-san, you’re looking at the plants so intently. Are you interested


in them too?”

Page | 88
“Hmm… unlike Master, it’s just a hobby, but… Rill isn’t interested, is
she?”

“Yeah, I’m not interested.”

“I see…”

Even though they are twins, they have different hobbies and
interests.

When I was thinking about this, Ruri-san’s eyes lit up, and she looked
at me.

“More importantly, you are amazing, aren’t you? We’ve only known
each other a short while, and you can already tell us apart?”

“W-well, yeah, I guess so.”

“By the way, how do you tell us apart? Is it from our hair?”

“No, it’s your atmosphere.”

“”Atmosphere?””

Not only were they surprised by my answer, but also Odis-san.

“That’s amazing… Even I made a mistake sometimes…”

“How can that be for the master?”

Well, they indeed look exactly alike, and it’s no wonder that people
mistake them, isn’t it?

“Brother Yuuya is amazing, isn’t he?”

“You’re the first person who said you could tell by our atmosphere!”

“I-is that so? I mean… Brother Yuuya?”

[T/n: They called him Yuuya-Ani or ユウヤ兄]

Page | 89
When I asked them back about the unfamiliar words, they smiled
and nodded.

“Yeah! You seem to be older than us, so it’s Brother Yuuya, right?”

“Yes, yes! That’s why you don’t have to use honorifics either!”

“I-I see.”

I was overwhelmed by the two energetic people, so I nodded


obediently.

I was embarrassed by the way they referred to me, as I had never


been referred to as a brother before, even by my actual brother and
sister, Sora and Yuuta.

As we continued on our way, deepening our friendship, we finally


reached our destination.

“This is the place where Sage-san lies.”

“Oh…!”

In front of us, there was a single cave that had not collapsed in any
particular way. This area also received Avis’s attack, and I thought
that it had been blown up, but… it seemed to be undamaged.

Could it be that Sage-san’s power also protected this cave?

Then Ouma-san, who was the only one who knew about Sage-san,
narrowed his eyes nostalgically.

“This presence is… without a doubt. It’s his. So, you’ve been sleeping
in a place like this, huh… and yet you’re still as eccentric as ever.”

His voice sounded both appalled and saddened.

Everyone could hear Ouma-san’s voice, and they kept silent.

Page | 90
“…Hmph. I showed you something out of place. Let’s get going.”

“Ah, wait!”

After saying that, Ouma-san quickly went into the cave, and we
hurriedly followed him.

As we entered the cave, I thought back to that time.

“If Night hadn’t brought me here, I wouldn’t have known about Sage-
san’s existence… Thanks for your help once again, Night.”

“Woof!”

Night barked happily at my words.

There was nothing special about the cave, but a path was cut straight
into it, and we all went straight to the depths of the cave and… finally
found Sage-san’s remains.

I didn’t think too much about it at the time, but the fact that the
bones were still so clean might be because Sage-san had performed
some kind of magic on himself.

“T-this is… the legendary sage…!”

When Odis-san approached Sage-san’s bones in front of him


fearfully, he knelt down and began to shed tears.

“O-Odis-san?”

“Ugh… I’m sorry… For those of us who master magic, the sage is just
like a God…”

“…I didn’t expect that weirdo Odis to be so thrilled…”

(Well, I don’t know. Even I get nervous when I think about being in
the presence of the sage.)

Page | 91
As Master Usagi said, this cave was really just a cave with no special
ornamentation, but it was filled with a strange atmosphere that
made you feel very relaxed.

Then, unexpectedly, Yuti tugged on my clothes.

“Question. Why are the sage’s bones still there?”

“Eh?”

“Burial. If it’s a grave, it should be buried or something.”

As Yuti said, when a person dies, they are usually cremated, buried in
the ground, or buried in water, or memorialized in some other way.

However, what can I say…? I was hesitant to touch the bones, or


rather, I was unable to touch them.

As if to represent my feelings, Ouma-san, who had been quietly


staring at Sage-san’s bones until now, opened his mouth.

“…It’s fine for him to stay like this. It’s not like he wants to be buried
by someone else.”

“Affirmative. I see. But he’s strange.”

“…You’re right.”

After a while, Ouma-san, who was once again silently looking at


Sage-san’s bones, turned to me.

“Now, Yuuya. You don’t seem to realize it, but it looks like there are
still some things left behind by the sage in this place.”

“Eh?”

“What?”

Page | 92
When Ouma-san said that, not only me but also Odis-san’s eyes
widened.

It was here that I inherited the magic circuit and magic knowledge
from Sage-san, but was there still something left behind?

I was led to a place where Ouma-san said he could feel the presence
of Sage-san, but what was there was just a rock wall.

“Here.”

“Err…? It just looks like a dead-end to me…”

Odis-san also put his hand on the wall and seemed to be examining
things carefully but eventually nodded.

“Yeah. From what I can see, it’s just a wall.”

“Hmm. There’s no way he’s going to build a mechanism that you can
see through, is there?”

“Ugh…”

“It’s okay. Anyway, Yuuya. You’re the key.”

“Eh, me?”

“Yes. It appears that you have inherited something from She sage in
this place, but that was not everything. As a result, you are now
qualified to inherit everything that the Sage left behind.”

“No way…”

I was astonished by Ouma-san’s words.

I-it’s true that the house, the garden, the weapons, the magic circuit,
and many other things were given to me by Sage-san. They were all
coincidental, and even though they were called qualifications, I
didn’t really feel anything.

Page | 93
However, as if reading my thoughts, Ouma-san continued.

“You seem to think that everything is a coincidence, but that’s not


true. What he left behind is not something that can be inherited so
easily. Think about it. If his legacy were to fall into the hands of the
Evil…”

“…Honestly, I don’t want to think about it.”

(Rather, at that moment, our defeat will be decided.)

Ouma-san nodded at Iris-san and Master Usagi’s words.

“That’s why. Even if it seems like a coincidence, that’s why his legacy
has been made in such a way that it cannot be passed on without
qualifications. If so, why was Yuuya able to inherit it? It’s mainly
because he judged that you are qualified for it.”

“That’s…! B-but I’ve never met Sage-san like you, you know? And I
don’t know much about him either! Grandpa seems to have met
him… so maybe it was Grandpa who should have inherited the
legacy, not me…?”

“I don’t know about that. But that’s the thing about him. Even if he
were acquainted with Yuuya’s grandfather, he would not hand over
his inheritance just because of that blood connection. As I have said
many times, only you are qualified to inherit his legacy.”

“…..”

I was so shocked that I could not say anything.

If what Ouma-san said was true, then it was inevitable that I would
inherit the house, the weapons, and everything else.

But if that’s the case, I had no idea why I, a person he’d never met
before… had this qualification.

Page | 94
Could it be that Grandpa asked Sage-san to do it? That might be the
most realistic… but it’s really just a feeling, but it doesn’t seem right.

I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but in the end, I don’t know
the answer.

“Well, I’m curious as to why, but that’s not important right now. The
only person who is qualified to inherit the sage’s legacy is you… and
that’s all that matters. If you understand that, then go ahead and
touch that wall.”

“Y-yeah.”

I touched the wall as Ouma-san told me to, and as if in response to


that, a complex magic circle suddenly appeared on the plain rock
wall!

“This is…”

“Ridiculous! I’ve never seen magic this complicated before…!”

Judging from the reaction of Odis-san, the Magic Saint, who was the
most knowledgeable about magic in this group, this magic circle
must be out of the ordinary.

Then, Merl-san also opened her eyes to the magic circle in front of
her.

(I-I know about magic as part of our knowledge, and I’ve seen a few
planets that have actually developed magical civilizations… but I’ve
never seen magic in this form before…!)

Sage-san’s magic was described to be out of the ordinary even when


considered on a universe-wide scale.

As everyone was immensely shocked by the fact, the magic circle


eventually transformed, and letters appeared on the surface.

Page | 95
“T-this is…”

“Question. What does it say?”

“Eh?”

I looked at Yuti, who seemed to be unable to read the letters that


had appeared, and tilted her head. I didn’t think it was possible, so I
looked around at the others, but they all had the same strange
expression on their faces.

“It looks like some kind of text, but… I wonder what it says?”

(I’ve never seen it before.)

“…I don’t know any of these letters either.”

“It’s kind of cool, right?”

“It’s kind of awesome!”

(No way… even my language converter can’t translate it…!)

Amazingly, no one could read the letters that appeared on the rock
wall.

I tried to look at Ouma-san, who was closest to Sage-san, but…

“….Zenovis. Do you really want to hide it like that? He must have


constructed his magic in such a way that only Yuuya can read it.
What does it say, Yuuya?”

“Woof…”

“Fugo?”

“Pi.”

Aside from the Night and the others, even Ouma-san didn’t seem to
be able to read it as well.

Page | 96
But──.

“Um… it described the location where Sage-san’s legacy is kept.”

“!?”

When I read the words and told them so, they all looked at me at
once.

Yes… for some reason, I can read the words that appear on the rock
wall. I wondered if it was the effect of being qualified to carry on
Sage-san’s legacy, as Ouma-san had said.

Everyone was appalled by my words, but Odis-san, who has quickly


recovered, asked excitedly.

“Yu-Yuuya-dono! So, where in the world is the sage’s legacy


hidden?”

“E-err… I’m not sure about the details, but it seems to be sealed in a
certain planet in space.”

(Space?)

“How did it get there…?”

“Unlike Merl-san’s planet Amel, there is no way to cross over into


space, so how did he seal his legacy on a distant planet…?”

While Master Usagi and the others were surprised at the location of
Sage-san’s absurd legacy, Merl-san was both surprised and calm.

(A planet? Do you know the exact location?)

“That’s the thing… Sage-san, although he sealed the legacy on a


certain planet, he didn’t know what that planet was called or how to
tell where it was, so he couldn’t write about its location…”

Page | 97
(…Indeed, I’ve been exposed to the civilization of Yuuya’s world and
this world, but I haven’t seen technology advanced enough to sail
through space. If this is the case, as the Sage wrote, it will be difficult
to tell where it is. I hope it exists at least in close proximity to this
planet…)

As Merl-san said, it would take a ridiculous amount of time if we try


to find the legacy that Sage-san sealed on a certain planet in the
universe if we searched normally.

But…

“Um… I don’t know the logic behind it, but it seems to me that as
long as you get close enough to the planet, you’ll inevitably be able
to find out… where the legacy is.”

(…Such an ambiguous thing… would normally have been dismissed,


but considering the particulars of the magic that was just shown and
the fact that the user of that magic is the former owner of the
weapon that Yuuya-san is using, it’s no wonder that such a thing is
possible…)

To be honest, I’m wondering what Sage-san has sealed on a certain


planet in the universe, but it seems that we can’t find out here.

Then Odis-san, who had originally said he wanted to come to this


place, nodded in satisfaction.

“Now… I have accomplished my purpose here. But there is still the


legacy of the sage sleeping in the universe, isn’t there? Then let’s get
moving!”

Page | 98
Page | 99
“O-Odis-san? That is, of course, but you should make some
preparations or…”

“I just need this feeling!”

“Just a feeling?”

Do you really not need any weapons or items? I wonder if it is


because he is the Magic Saint, and magic is his main focus?

In any case, I realized that Odis-san really worshiped Sage-san.

I laughed at Odis-san’s reaction and called out to everyone.

“Well… it seems that Odis-san doesn’t need any particular


preparation, but what about the rest of you?”

“I’m ready whenever needed.”

(Me too.)

Master Usagi and the others don’t seem to need to make any special
preparations either, so I turn to Merl-san again.

“Then… It’s time to leave for space. It seems that everyone is


prepared, but is there anything I can do to help you personally?”

(No. It’s quite a distance to my home planet, but thanks to the


energy I’ve acquired here, I’ll be able to use the warp function, and
more importantly, I’ve got plenty of food onboard. So we can board
the ship and leave at any time.)

“Then we’d better hurry. The other day’s attack ended up with them
just retreating, so if we hurry, we can cut down on the time they
have to prepare.”

Page | 100
We all nodded at Iris-san’s words, and we finally set off into space.

Page | 101
Chapter 3 – Sage’s Legacy

Part 1

“W-wow… so this is the spaceship…”

After the trip into the forest, we went back to my house on Earth and
finished all the preparations.

The spaceship was still floating above my house, waiting for us, but
Merl-san had operated the terminal on her left arm so that others
would not be able to recognize it.

(Now then, let’s get on board.)

When Merl-san operated the terminal on her left arm again, a circle
of light, different from a magic circle, appeared at our feet, and
before we knew it, we had all been transferred to the inside of the
spaceship.

(Since it was originally designed for a small number of people, it


could barely fit this number of people aboard, but… I’m glad
everyone managed to get on.)

As Merl-san said, there were 12 of us, including me, so it felt quite


cramped. However, it was fortunate that Night and the others were
small and did not take up that much space.

Inside the spaceship, there were a lot of holographic touch panels


and machines that I didn’t know how to operate, just like the
spaceships in famous science fiction movies.

I wanted to look around, but I didn’t want to push any buttons and
get into trouble, so I didn’t dare touch anything.

Page | 102
“Rill! It’s amazing, isn’t it?”

“Ruri! It’s amazing!”

“Hey, don’t touch anything inappropriate.”

“”Yes.””

The twins seemed to be even more curious than I was and were
unafraid to try and touch the machines around them, but Odis-san
got angry at them.

…..

“Ouma-san, please don’t touch anything either, okay?”

“What do you think I am?”

When I told Ouma-san that because I was anxious, he shouted in


annoyance.

However, Night and the others have an indescribable expression on


their faces.

“Woof…”

“Fugo.”

“Pi.”

“W-what do you want to say? Hmm!?”

“…Woof”

Night shook his head tiredly at Ouma-san’s reaction. I can’t speak for
others much, but Ouma-san had a record back in the storage room.
As a result of that, Merl-san came to us and gave us a chance to learn
more about Sage-san…

Page | 103
(…Energy replenishment has been completed. Everyone, please take
your seats.)

While we were exchanging various information, Merl-san, who was


nonchalantly going about the preparations, told us to sit down in an
empty seat.

The seat was pure white and futuristic in design, but the moment we
sat down, something that looked like jelly enveloped us!

“W-what in the world is this?”

We were completely enveloped by the jelly-like stuff, including our


heads. We were panicked by the situation, but we didn’t feel like we
couldn’t breathe, and it actually gave us a very comfortable feeling.

Then Merl-san, also wrapped in jelly-like stuff, explained the


situation.

(We will now travel into outer space, and there will be a strong
shock. However, by being wrapped in this protective gel, the shock
will be completely mitigated, and at the same time, your body will
absorb this gel so that you can function in space without any
problems. To put it simply, it will modify your body to be able to
move outside the spaceship without any special equipment.)

“In space? Does that mean I don’t need a spacesuit as we know it on


Earth?”

(Yes, that’s right. I understand that, unlike me, you may have
aversions and fears about your body suddenly being transformed,
but I can assure you that you will be absolutely safe.)

Everyone looked a little uneasy, just like me, but Merl-san said it with
a serious expression on her face, so we finally decided to believe her.

And then──.

Page | 104
(Then… departure…!)

“───!”

Merl-san’s spaceship floated up into the sky without us receiving any


shock and then launched itself into space at an astonishing speed!

There was a window in the spaceship near where I was sitting, so I


looked out and saw that it was climbing higher and higher into the
sky, leaving the city and even the clouds behind as it finally entered
space.

“A-amazing…”

(So this is what space looks like…)

“It’s hard to believe… that we can really come to space.”

Iris-san and the others, who came from a world where they didn’t
know much about the existence of space itself, were impressed by
the scenery of space.

Even though I live on Earth and have some knowledge of it, it is still
an unknown world, so I understood how they felt.

As I continued to watch the situation outside for a while, Merl-san


nodded to me.

(…It looks like we’ve successfully left the Earth. We will now begin
preparations for warp. If we use the warp function, we’ll be able to
spend some time without sitting in a chair, so please wait a little
longer.)

“Um, what do you mean by warp?”

(Let’s see… There is a very large distance between where we are now
and the planet Amel. So if we were to travel normally by this ship, it
would probably take us several hundred years to get there.)

Page | 105
“Several hundred years?”

When we were all stunned by the outrageous number of years, Merl-


san hurriedly continued.

(In order to prevent that from happening, there is a warp function.


The principle is that by developing a subspace that is outside of
normal space-time and moving through that space, we can easily
traverse great distances. So, I would like to begin using that function
now.)

When we were all relieved by her words, Merl-san operated the


touch panel that was provided on the chair. Then, there was a
sudden change outside the window.

To my surprise, something like a line of light gradually clung around


the spaceship we were currently on.

(Then… warp, activate.)

As soon as Merl-san said that, the scene outside the window


suddenly changed, and a strange space with a strange color scheme
spread out, just like when my house on Earth was isolated in
subspace during the previous attack by the Dragonias.

(…Transfer to warp space, successful.)

When Merl-san, who was operating the terminal, said that while
exhaling a breath, the jelly-like stuff that was enveloping us was
smoothly sucked into the chair.

(There is no problem for you to spend time freely for a while. Just
don’t touch the machines in the surroundings.)

Merl-san took the initiative to stand up from her chair, and we began
to move with trepidation.

Page | 106
“Whoaaa… that made me strangely nervous.”

“Agreed. It was a strange experience. Question. Since we were


covered in that squishy stuff earlier, you said we could act outside
the spaceship. Can we do that now?”

(Not while we’re in warp space at this very moment, but when we’re
in normal space, you should have no problem venturing outside the
ship.)

“That would be very helpful. When the enemy attacks, we can use
interception magic from inside this ship, but it will still be difficult to
target them without going outside.”

(For those of us who fight in close quarters combat, being able to


move around in a new environment without any problems is great.)

When Master Usagi said that, Merl-san added a little apologetically


as if she remembered.

(I’m sorry… It’s true that activities in space are no problem, but that
only means that the body adapts to weightlessness and vacuum
space, and moving through space requires footholds and other
propulsion.)

(I can take care of that on my own.)

In other words, to move freely in space, you need something like a


ground or another power like jet propulsion.

Well, I guess I can do something with wind magic or something.

As each of us was relaxing on the ship, I asked Merl-san about


something that had been on my mind.

“By the way, I hadn’t heard any details about your hometown, but
what kind of place is it?”

Page | 107
(Yeah… As I told you the other day, we Amelians are adversaries to
the Dragonias. The Dragonias are one of the most powerful species
in the entire universe, but we also pride ourselves for being the best
in the universe in terms of scientific power.)

“T-the best in the universe…”

All the technology Merl-san had shown me so far were indeed so


amazing that I could honestly agree with her when she said that.

In addition to being able to easily erase a person’s memories and


information, according to our talk, they never die of disease and
have a ridiculously long lifespan.

When I was thinking about Merl-san’s past, Merl-san’s expression


became a little cloudy.

(…Therefore. The Dragonias have been trying to force us into


servitude or to rob us of our technology since long ago to gain access
to our scientific power. Our ancestors created an anti-celestial
annihilation weapon to counter them, but as a result, it only
intensified the attacks by the Dragonias… That’s what I think.)

“Why is that?”

(Because we have created a weapon that can easily destroy a planet,


and the Dragonias feel threatened by it, so they attack us even more.
Of course, if it weren’t for the anti-celestial annihilation weapons
and other weapons packed with Amel technology, the Dragonias
would have already invaded and taken everything from us…)

I guess they didn’t expect the weapons they created to repel the
Dragonias would end up intensifying the battle…

(Anyway, with the blueprints of the anti-celestial annihilation


weapon that I have obtained, and with your help, I hope to end all
battles. So please… lend me your strength.)

Page | 108
Merl-san bowed to us once again, and everyone nodded vigorously,
including me.

She smiled at us and turned her attention to the terminal.

(Thank you for your help… I think it’s time to release the warp.
There’s a possibility of another impact, so please take a seat in your
chairs.)

(Hmm? Are we arriving at Amel yet?)

(No, no matter how long a distance we can travel instantly through


the warp, we can’t travel a distance that would normally take
hundreds of years in a single pass. Warp requires an enormous
amount of energy, and more importantly, the ship won’t last…)

I wonder if it’s like the phenomenon of a computer getting hot when


it’s on for a long time? When I think of it that way, it becomes all the
more ordinary.

With Amel’s technologies, there must be some sort of cooling


function, but it might not be that simple when it came to warp,
which was an unimaginably advanced function.

I followed Merl-san’s instructions and took my seat again, only to


have my body enveloped in the jelly-like stuff again.

(Then, I will deactivate it.)

As Merl-san operated the terminal on her left arm, the color of the
mysterious space outside the window gradually faded, turning into
countless lines of light that eventually returned to normal space.

As each of us observed our changed surroundings, the jelly-like stuff


that had enveloped us was absorbed by the chair.

Page | 109
(…Warp release has been successful. We will normally navigate for
about an hour from here and then warp again──.)

At that moment, our spaceship suddenly shook violently.

“W-what is it?”

(No way…?)

Merl-san hurriedly operated the terminal on the spaceship.

As we were getting up from our chairs and ready to move at any


time, Master Usagi muttered with a grim expression.

(…It seems we’re under attack.)

“Under attack? That’s…”

“It’s probably the Dragonias who are the enemy this time.”

(Too bad! I’m aware of all of your movements! I’ll spare your life if
you surrender meekly and hand over the blueprint for the anti-
celestial annihilation weapon. But if you refuse… you will be trashed
here in space!)

As if to affirm Iris-san’s words, a transmission from what appeared to


be a Dragonia alien came from the ship that had probably attacked
us.

But we have no intention of surrendering to them.

(I’m not going to surrender!)

(Then you’ll die here!)

Page | 110
Part 2

(I’m not going to surrender!)

(Then you can die here!)

As soon as Merl-san said that, the Dragonias attacked at once. In the


midst of this, Merl-san shouted while operating her terminal.

(I apologize, everyone! It seems that the Dragonias calculated the


warp release point and ambushed us…! I’ve deployed the shields, but
brace for impact just in case!)

Merl-san operated a holographic touch panel that appeared and


disappeared again at great speed. Then, it seemed that a shield had
enveloped the spaceship, and a blue film covered the outside of the
window.

As we continued to look out the window, we saw several Dragonia


spaceships approaching.

“Oh, so that’s the Dragonia spaceship. huh…?”

“They look like the dragons of our world, don’t they?”

“Yes, they look like dragons.”

I was surprised to see how calm Odis-san, Ruri, and Rill were, even
though we were under attack.

“Y-you’re so calm, aren’t you…?”

“Well, it won’t change the situation that we’re being attacked even if
I make a fuss here. But the number of enemies is less than I
expected…”

Page | 111
As Odis-san said, although we were ambushed, there were only
about five Dragonia spaceships in the area that we could confirm.
Could it be that the main force was somewhere else…?

However, the fact remained that we were only one ship.

“Merl-san, what kind of weapons does this ship have…?”

(Although there is one installed, it is impossible to deal with that


number of ships… and the enemy ships are designed for space
combat, while this ship is designed for transportation, so it will be
very difficult to fight a full-scale battle…)

“No way…”

In other words, if we don’t escape from this bunch of spaceships,


we’re going to be shot down right here.

As I was thinking about what to do, the Dragonia spaceship fired an


energy cannon at us, indicating that there was no time for us to think
about it!

(I’ll avoid it!)

“Whoa!”

While the spaceship was moving so fast that it almost flipped me


over, everyone except me remained calm and composed. T-they’re
amazing…

Then, Master Usagi, who watched the enemy attack, asked Merl-san,
who was frantically operating the spaceship.

(Hey, Merl. Our bodies can adapt to outer space thanks to that
protective fluid you just gave us, is that correct?)

(Y-yes!)

Page | 112
(If that’s the case, we’ll go outside the ship and fight them off.)

“Eehh?”

I was surprised by the unexpected words… but it’s true that even if
we’re on the spaceship, we could only escape, so it’s better for us to
intercept them directly… huh? We’re dealing with spaceships, you
know?

Right, I was also dealing with a spaceship when we were attacked by


Drade, but this is in space. The situation was different from that
time.

“Right… that seems to be the only way, but it’s also dangerous to go
outside in this situation.”

As Iris-san said, the spaceship we were on was exposed to a storm of


bombardments, and the ship was not flying in a stable state,
probably because of the many complicated evasive maneuvers.

If we jumped out of the spaceship in such a state, we would be


blown away.

As I was thinking about this, Odis-san nodded his head.

“Fumu… then I’ll take care of their attack for a while.”

“Eh?”

“As expected of Master! You’ll do it, won’t you?”

“As expected of Master! You’ll do it!”

“Idiot. You two help me too!”

“”Tsk.””

Ruri and Rill nodded reluctantly and immediately moved next to


Odis-san, holding out their weapons.

Page | 113
“”Then!””

As magic circles emerged from the palms of their hands, the two
circles overlapped and became one.

And then──.

“”[Magic Barrier]!””
The moment they chanted that, the bombardment from the
Dragonia aliens was intercepted by the magic circle that suddenly
appeared, preventing them from hitting the shield that surrounded
our spaceship.

“Whoa! It’s more powerful than I thought, isn’t it?”

“Yes! It’s more powerful than I thought!”

However, the attack of the Dragonia aliens seemed to be powerful,


and the two with their arms over their heads were grimacing.

“I see… Ruri and Rill’s [Magic Barrier] is also quite tough… Then…
[Magic Bullet].”

As Odis-san waved his finger lightly, a mass of light appeared outside


the window.

It’s a pure mass of magic power without any attributes. The size of
the mass itself was about the size of a basketball, but just by looking
at it, it was clear that it contained a terrific amount of magic power.

And there was more than one mass of magic power.

“Hmm.”

Every time Odis-san waved his finger, the mass of magic power
increased in number, and before long, there were dozens of these
masses floating around the spaceship.

Page | 114
In the midst of this, the Dragonias continued their bombardment
without resting their attack.

“Go!”

At that moment, Odis-san said briefly, and the mass of magic power
floating around the spaceship started to shoot down the
bombardment from the Dragonias’ spaceship with precision!

While everyone was amazed at how delicate the control was and
how powerful it was, Odis-san turned to us.

“Now is the time to get out. I’ve managed to neutralize them for
now, but I don’t know how long that will last.”

“Hmm. That’s enough. Let’s go, Yuuya.”

“Y-yes!”

“Woof!”

“Pii!”

Then it seemed that Night and Ciel would follow us, so the two of
them, me, Yuti, Iris-san, and Master Usagi, immediately went outside
the spaceship.

Ouma-san was asleep in the ship, completely unfazed by the


situation, and Akatsuki, not exactly suited for fighting, was quietly
staying in the spaceship.

When I went outside, I was a little puzzled by the strange sensation


that was different from being on Earth, although this would be
natural.

Thanks to that protective fluid, we were able to move around in


space without any problems, but what would space be like without
it? Would it be cold? Hot? And was there no wind in the vacuum?

Page | 115
Yuti and the others were all looking down at their bodies.

“Strange. There’s nothing unusual about it, but it’s very


uncomfortable.”

“Right…. a strange feeling that’s hard to describe as comfortable.”

(Well, it’s fine as long as we can move.)

“Woof.”

“Pii.”

Night and Ciel were adjusting their fur and feathers and checking
their bodies.

In the meantime, Odis-san, Ruri, and Rill are using magic from inside
the ship to deal with the attack of the Dragonia aliens.

Then, suddenly, a voice sounded in our minds.

“Each of you seems to be doing fine. I’m also curious about what
space is like, but… you should finish this as soon as possible. As I said
before, don’t expect us to be able to handle it forever.”

“Odis-san?”

The voice was that of Odis-san, which surprised us all.

We were surprised to hear that he could speak directly to the mind


like Ouma-san did…

“Is that magic too?”

“Yes, it is. I can see what’s going on outside with the equipment in
the spaceship and my magic to some extent. So don’t worry about
stray bullets, just fight.”

“Ara, you’re so well prepared.”

Page | 116
(Okay, then… let’s go.)

“Yes!”

With Master Usagi’s signal, everyone took off at once using the
spaceship as the foothold.

The first step was to use the spaceship as a foothold, so we were


able to proceed without any problems, but the speed was still not
good.

So, I quickly added some wind magic to propel me forward.

“Whoa!”

It’s not the same as a [Magic Armor], but it’s very fast.

I wonder if this can be crossed with the lightning attribute of the


[Magic Armor]? I’m not sure if I can control it if I try it suddenly, but I
think it’s worth a try. It might be a good idea to practice it after we
settle things down.

While I was thinking about this, Iris-san, Master Usagi, and Night also
used their own methods to get to the Dragonia spaceship.

Iris-san is running through space, using the earth attribute magic to


create footholds, while Night and Master Usagi use wind magic on
their feet to create a foothold in space and move forward at great
speed.

Ciel didn’t seem to be using any particular magic, but he was just
flapping his wings and going very fast as usual. I wonder how…?

When we almost reached the Dragonia spaceships, the enemy


seemed to have noticed us, and several energy cannons were
pointed at us.

Page | 117
“Mm. I’m sorry, but we’re too busy defending the spaceship. You’ll
have to take care of any attacks coming your way.”

“Prediction. No problem. I’ll shoot them down for you.”

And then, Yuti, who was the only one left standing on Merl-san’s
spaceship, took up her bow and fired an arrow against the
bombardment that was being fired at us.

“[Meteor Shower].”

Page | 118
Page | 119
It was a terrifying series of powerful single-arrow shots called [Death
Comet], which were used when the Dragonia aliens had attacked
before.

The arrows released at a furious pace were sure to pierce through


the Dragonia aliens’ bombardment and damage the spaceship itself.

(Hmph… As expected of a disciple of the “Bow Saint.” Iris and I won’t


lose either, but… Yuuya, you should do your best too. If you show a
disappointing performance, I’ll give you even more severe training
than before.)

“I-I’ll do my best…!”

I was happy to see Yuti’s growth, but as a result, I had to work hard
too.

In the meantime, when we finally reached the Dragonia spaceship,


Iris-san made the first move.

“[Fallen Sky]!”
The slash that was released from below, as if cutting up, accurately
slashed through the part of the Dragonia spaceship that looked like
an exhaust port on a car.

(Hmph… that’s good. Then me too… [Piercing Leg]!”

In the same way, Master Usagi also dexterously used magic to create
a foothold and instantly approached the spaceship, and then kicked
through the ship’s hull, creating a huge hole.

Page | 120
It was the first time I had seen the two of them perform such a feat,
but they were all so powerful that they could easily destroy a ship
several dozen meters in length.

“Grrrr… Gaaaaa!”

Night rushed in while deploying his [Magic Armor] and pierced the
ship’s hull with his body!

I don’t know why… but I feel like Night is more energetic or stronger
than usual… Is it only my imagination?

“Piiiiiiiiii!”

With the usual blue flames on his body, Ciel flew right on top of the
Dragonian spaceship and plummeted straight down, piercing its hull.

As everyone destroyed the Dragonia spaceships one by one, I also


took out my [World Strike] from the item box to deal with the
spaceship in front of me.

It is possible to destroy the spaceship with Sage-san’s weapons, such


as the [Omni-Sword] and [Absolute Spear], but I chose to use the
[World Strike] in order to deal with it without fail.

Besides, since I was dealing with a big target like a spaceship, the
[World Strike] would be a good choice.

“Haaaaaahhh!”

While holding the [World Strike] in my hand, I accelerated at once


and swung the [World Strike] as if I were pushing up from right
under the spaceship.

(Shit…! If this continues… contact headquarters immediately──.)

Page | 121
At that moment, the spaceship created a shield just like the one on
Merl-san’s spaceship for a split second, but the [World Strike] easily
shattered it all and left it in pieces.

Iris-san and Master Usagi widened their eyes as they witnessed the
power of the [World Strike] for the first time.

“T-that’s what you were using when you were fighting me before,
but it’s such a terrible thing!”

(That spaceship was destroyed like a piece of wood… I guess it’s one
of the Sage’s weapons, but that’s outrageous…)

So, in the end, I relied on the performance of my weapon, but you’d


have to forgive me for that…

When I was feeling that way, I heard Odis-san’s voice in my mind


again.

“I saw something outrageous… but that’s okay. I’d like to hear more
about it, but Merl-dono tells you all to come back here right now.
We’re going to move out from here.”

“I understand!”

As per Odis-san’s words, we immediately returned to Merl-san’s


spaceship, and Merl-san took control of the spaceship and
immediately left the area.

Page | 122
Part 3

(…There’s no sign of spaceships in the vicinity. I think it’s safe to say


we’ve escaped.)

“Haah… that’s good to hear.”

I was relieved hearing Merl-san’s words, and was finally able to relax
my shoulders.

“But why were we ambushed, anyway?”

(As I said before, they calculated the distance we traveled by warp


from our path. Immediately after the warp is deactivated, the
spaceship has no choice but to be in a vulnerable situation…)

It’s true, as Merl-san said, we were sitting in our seats when the
warp was deactivated, and more importantly, the ambushers could
just aim at us and attack.

(However, since there are several possible locations for us to release


the warp besides the place where we were ambushed, the Dragonias
must have been waiting in several units. Fortunately, thanks to that,
the number of spaceships waiting in ambush was small…)

It seemed that as a result of a combination of various luck, we were


able to get through this safely.

I didn’t expect to be attacked at that moment, but it was still a great


experience to be able to battle in space.

I don’t know what will happen next time we fight the Dragonias, but I
think I will be able to move better.

As I was thinking about this, I suddenly had a strange feeling.

Page | 123
“H-hmm? W-what is it?”

“Yuuya-kun? What’s wrong?”

Iris-san, who noticed my strange reaction, called out to me.

However, I don’t know what to say… I feel strangely shivery.

“Um… I can’t really describe it, but I feel like something is calling
me.”

“Something?”

“──It’s the Sage’s sign.”

“Ouma-san?”

Then Ouma-san, who had been sleeping at his own pace despite
everything that had happened, only woke up at this point.

More importantly, what is Sage-san’s sign?

When all of us were surprised by Ouma-san’s words, he continued


on, yawning unconcernedly.

“Fuwah… what? Didn’t we go to the cave where the Sage rests


before we came to space? It’s just that I felt the same vibe as when I
was there.”

“Could it be… the sign of Sage-san’s legacy…?”

It’s true that at that time, it was written that the location of the
legacy sealed on a certain planet in the universe can be found by
approaching… but is it really in this vicinity?

Then Ouma-san turned his gaze to Merl-san.

Page | 124
“Little girl. Proceed in that direction.”

“Hey… Ouma-san!?”

“What is it? Don’t you ever wonder what the sage’s legacy is?”

“No, I’m curious about that, but I’m also curious about Merl-san’s
homeland…”

I said that, but Merl-san shook her head.

(It’s okay, Yuuya-san. Although we were able to avoid the attack by


the Dragonias, they will probably come after us soon. So, there is a
risk that our current route we are taking to my homeland will be
easily predicted. Therefore, I’d like to change course to shift the time
and distract the pursuers.)

“I-I see…”

If Merl-san is willing to accept it, I am honestly interested in Sage-


san’s legacy.

The weapons and magic circuit alone are outrageous, but what in the
world did he hide in space?

(By the way, we’re close to the sage’s sign, aren’t we?)

“You’re right…”

“It’s not that far away. At the rate we’re going, we should arrive
soon.”

(I understand. Then please guide me there.)

Following Merl-san’s words, Ouma-san and I worked together to lead


the way in the direction of Sage-san’s sign.

Page | 125
Eventually, a planet came into view.

Then I noticed that Merl-san, who had been operating the spaceship
until now, had a grim expression on her face.

“Um, what’s wrong? Could it be that there is a Dragonia alien


spaceship…?”

(No, that’s not what I mean. Is it a malfunction of the… map? It


seems that the planet we’re heading to is not shown on this map,
which was created using Amel’s technology…)

“Hah… but, space is such a big place, it’s not surprising that there are
places like this, isn’t it?”

It was not surprising that there were places that are unknown in the
vastness of space.

However, Merl-san shook her head.

(As Yuuya-san said, it’s nearly impossible to investigate the entire


universe, but this area is one of the most thoroughly investigated
places in the universe. That’s probably why the Dragonia were able
to guess our movements. But I can’t believe that such an unknown
planet exists not far from this point…)

Even from Merl-san’s perspective, the planet that appeared in front


of us seemed to be a mysterious existence.

And then Ouma-san, who was listening to the conversation,


answered.

“Hmph. That’s just natural, I suppose. The Sage’s magic has been cast
all around here. He probably wanted to make sure that only Yuuya,
who is qualified to inherit his legacy, or someone like me, who can
sense the sign of the Sage, would be able to reach the place.”

Page | 126
“A-amazing… to think that he could deploy magic on this scale…!”

While everyone was amazed by Ouma-san’s words, Odis-san was


particularly moved by them and raised his voice. He must be
interested in that kind of amazing magic because he was a magician.

Anyway, the planet that appeared in front of us was a desolate land


of only soil, just like the moon I had seen in the video.

I couldn’t see any water, green trees, or even any signs of life, but I
could see a strange structure standing there.

The fact that I could see it even from a distance meant that it was
huge.

That’s──.

“Is that a… temple?”

It was a magnificent building surrounded by large pillars, just like the


Parthenon that I had seen in videos and pictures.

***

While Yuuya and the others were traveling through space, Lexia and
the others were returning to the Regal Kingdom in the different
world.

Lexia and the others, who had just returned, were told that Orghis
wanted to talk to them and were taken to a private room.

“You’ve come back. How are you doing? Are you enjoying the
country a bit?”

“Yes. I think it’s a nice, lively country.”

Page | 127
After the attacks by Quarro and Avis, the entire country could have
been in a state of fear, but the people of Regal knew their role and
were concentrating on reconstruction activities.

Lexia and the others were surprised to see the resilient side of the
people of Regal.

When Orghis heard these words, he nodded in satisfaction.

“Yes. I love this country, too. The people are truly wonderful.”

“By the way, Orghis-sama? I heard you wanted to talk to me…”

“Umu…”

With Lexia’s urging, Orghis nodded gravely and told her about the
council that had been decided while Lexia and the others were away.

“Actually… I have decided to hold the [King’s Council].”

“Eh?”

“[King’s Council]?”
Lexia was surprised by Orghis’s words, but the words were unfamiliar
to Luna and Mai, so they looked at each other and tilted their heads.

“Orghis-sama, could it be that… you are going to announce the fact


that you have summoned a saint to the Kings all over the world? But
if you do that, there will be Kings who will condemn you for it…”

“I’m prepared for that.”

Already determined, Orghis nodded without hesitation.

“If I open this council, I will be scorned upon by many of the Kings.
But I can’t keep it a secret anymore.”

Page | 128
“…I see that you have already made up your mind. So, did you call
me here to report that?”

“No, that’s part of it, but I would like Lexia-dono and the others to be
present at the meeting too.”

“Us too?”

Lexia was surprised by the request from Orghis, but Orghis continued
without concern.

“Yes. Of course, we are going to talk about Evil at this meeting, but it
will be hard for people to believe my words alone. Besides… we’ll
also be discussing about Yuuya-dono.”

“Yuuya-sama?”

“He’s not a Holy, but he’s a special person who can resist the Evil…
Lexia-dono may want to hide his existence from the outside world,
but I think it should be announced to the Kings.”

Orghis looked straight at Lexia and told her this.

Lexia also looked back at Orghis, but… Lexia did not realize that she
had forgotten to tell Orghis about something.

Of course, Lexia knew that the Evil had been destroyed, but soon
afterward, she went to the Earth and witnessed a shocking event
that made her forget about the Evil, and she forgot to inform Orghis
that the Evil had been destroyed.

On top of that, when Orghis told her that she should tell the Kings
about the greatness of Yuuya, Lexia’s enthusiasm was triggered.

As a result, Lexia’s reaction was different from what Orghis had


imagined.

Page | 129
“Right! Let’s make the other Kings understand how amazing Yuuya-
sama is!”

“Huh?”

Orghis looked uncomfortable at Lexia’s reaction.

Lexia then tilted her head curiously.

“Ara? What’s wrong?”

“N-no, um… is that okay? For the Alceria Kingdom, he is like a final
secret weapon, isn’t he? Maybe he will be recruited by other
countries…”

“Yes… if we publicize Yuuya-sama, there will be people who will


approach him for his power. But more than that, I think everyone
should understand that Yuuya-sama is amazing!”

“S-sigh…”

“And besides, Yuuya-sama and I are engaged! I don’t have to worry


about him being taken away!”

“You’re not engaged to him.”

“What, Luna! Is it not good? Is it selfish of me to say so?”

“You’re too selfish.”

Luna was taken aback by Lexia’s words. Mai also smiled bitterly at
this side of Lexia.

It was supposed to be a serious consultation for Orghis, but in the


end, it was decided that Lexia and the others would participate in the
council in a rather sloppy manner.

Page | 130
***

Inside the Dragonia mothership, a Dragonia alien was running in a


hurry.

When the Dragonia alien reached the room where Draco III was
waiting, he hurriedly knocked on the door.

(Your Majesty! I have something to report to you immediately…!)

(Come in.)

After receiving permission, the Draconia alien entered the room and
immediately knelt down.

(What do you want?)

(Y-yes! The third unit has received orders from Your Majesty to
capture the Amelians and their collaborators, but we’ve lost contact
with one of the platoons…)

(…What? What’s going on?)

The Draconian alien was about to be crushed by the enormous


pressure emanating from Draco III, but he continued desperately.

(I-it seems that all of them were wiped out in an engagement with
the Amel aliens in question. We had received a report that they were
going into battle, but communication from that point forward was
cut off…)

(We got hit in return, huh.)

Draco III let out a heavy sigh, and the Dragonia who reported it
stiffened.

Draco III took no notice of the situation and opened his mouth.

Page | 131
(Good work. Go back now.)

(Y-yes!)

The Draconia bowed again and left the room.

Draco III was left alone, sitting deep in his chair.

(…I guess I’ve underestimated them. Even though Drade is out, the
third unit can’t handle it… And this is in a space battle? I had thought
that the special environment of the subspace was a major factor in
the Drade’s defeat, but it seems that this was not the case. The
Amelian collaborators must have excellent individual combat skills.
That’s why they are so much better than my troops at fighting in
space…)

After pondering for a while, Draco III eventually came to a decision.

(A change of plans. Although we could not take the blueprints from


the Amelian, we should destroy the planet Amel itself before the
blueprint reaches them. It may take a little bit of our strength, but
with our current power, we will definitely be able to destroy the
planet Amel…)

Unbeknownst to Yuuya and the others, Draco III had finally begun to
make his move.

Page | 132
Part 4

After somehow escaping the attack by the Dragonias, we came


across a strange temple-like building on a planet. The temple stood
alone on the planet, but it’s unusual size bothered me more than its
appearance.

“Is this really a… human temple?”

As Iris-san noted, the size of the temple didn’t look like it was built
for humans.

From a distance, I could see that there was only one entrance. There
was no door; just a gaping hole that led into the structure.

However, the size of the entrance was strange. It was so huge that
even the huge spaceship of the Dragonias that we had just fought
could easily fit through it, not to mention Merl-san’s spaceship that
we were currently on.

In order to explore the planet first, Merl-san lightly operated the


panel, and the spaceship landed quietly.

We arrived safely on the planet, but the closer we got to the temple,
the more I realized how huge it was. When I stood at the entrance
and looked up, I couldn’t even see the top of the entrance from
directly below.

“T-this is really built by Sage-san, isn’t it?”

I was overwhelmed by its size. No matter how I looked at it, I


couldn’t imagine that it was built for humans…

Even from the alien Merl-san’s perspective, the building in front of us


seemed strange, and her eyes widened.

Page | 133
(This is the first time I’ve seen such a strange structure… Was it built
for some giant race?)

Yes, as Merl-san said, the size would be more convincing if we were


told that it was built for gods or giants.

However, as if to deny our idea, Ouma-san, who landed on the


planet with us, shook his head.

“No. This is exactly what the Sage created and what Yuuya should
inherit.”

“E-even if you say I should inherit it… what was the purpose of
building such a large temple?”

“I don’t know what he’s thinking. Let’s just go.”

“Wait!”

As Ouma-san walked into the temple without hesitation, we


hurriedly followed after him.

Once inside the temple, the walls were covered with a strange,
slippery material that looked like marble.

Meanwhile, Odis-san touched the wall and tried to channel some


magic power, but he quickly shook his head.

“Fumu… I have no idea what it is. I’ve never seen anything like this in
our world either. But given that this wall is impervious to magic, I’m
guessing that this material is used to protect something from magical
attacks.”

As I was listening to the results of Odis-san’s brief analysis, I suddenly


heard a tremendous sound. I hurriedly turned my attention towards
it and saw Master Usagi kicking at the wall.

“Master Usagi!”

Page | 134
(Mm? Oh, I’m sorry. I’ve never seen this material before. I was
curious about its durability, but I didn’t expect it to be…
unbreakable.)

“Even if you were curious, would you normally kick it?”

(Don’t be so angry. It didn’t break, so it’s fine, right?)

“That’s not the point though!”

Isn’t everyone really acting too freely? Or am I just too nervous?

Then, like Odis-san, Merl-san also touched the wall and seemed to be
operating her device to check something.

(…This is an unknown material that hasn’t been registered in our


database. I did a contact analysis, and as Odis-san said, this material
is quite resistant to magic power. In addition, as for its strength…
Was it called the [Black Hardwood Tree] that grew in the [Great
Devil’s Nest]? It seems to be even harder than that.)

“It’s more than that tree?”

[Black Hardwood Tree] is an extraordinary plant that can not be


damaged by Master Usagi’s skills or Sage-san’s weapon, but this
material is harder than that…

I hadn’t even gotten to Sage-san’s legacy yet, but even here at the
entrance, I was already preoccupied with other things.

I couldn’t see the ceiling because it’s too high so I didn’t know what
kind of light source was used, but the building was brightly lit… The
more I searched, the more strange things I discovered.

“Look at that.”

“!?”

Page | 135
As we walked down the corridor for a while, a huge door suddenly
appeared in front of us.

It was a door as big as the entrance, with a sci-fi design on the


surface.

There were glowing lines running all over the door, rather than
otherworldly feel, it gave it a futuristic look.

Or rather…

“W-what’s with this door all of a sudden? If it’s this big, I think it’s
strange that we couldn’t see it all the way from the entrance…”

Yes, with a door this big, it should be possible to see it from a


distance. But at the time we were walking down the corridor so far,
we hadn’t recognized this door.

Then, Ouma-san considered the reason.

“Perhaps he’s setting it up so that if we’re lucky enough to slip


through the magic that’s been cast around here, and someone other
than Yuuya or myself enters the temple, they won’t be able to get to
this door. He must have constructed the magic so that the door
would appear only when someone who is qualified to inherit the
legacy, such as Yuuya here, visits. If anyone other than Yuuya enters
this building, they will continue to go deeper without ever reaching
the door.”

“Whoa…”

It’s indeed Sage-san’s legacy, so it’s not surprising that he’s strict
about it. However, it would be a tragedy for those who came here by
mistake…

Anyway, it seems that the reason this huge door appeared was
because of my presence.

Page | 136
“So, how do I open this door?”

“Just like that time, you can touch it with your hand, and it will do
fine.”

I nodded at Ouma-san’s words and touched the door.

Then──.

“!?”

The moment I touched it, the door slowly began to open, and an
intense light flooded out from inside. The light filled my
surroundings, and it was so dazzled that I had to cover my face with
my arm.

But then I saw a vision of something huge behind the door… falling
towards me.

And then ── a voice rang out in my head.

“──You’ve come…”

“!?”

It was a man’s voice, and it sounded very calm.

When I was confused by the sudden situation, the voice continued.

“You seem to be confused, but don’t worry. I won’t make it worse.


As you may have noticed, I am what you called the Sage. My name is
Zenovis, but… is more commonly known by my alias as the Sage.
Good to see you, my successor.”

“!?”

Page | 137
What a surprise, the voice belonged to that Sage-san!

It was so sudden that it made me even more confused, but Sage-san


continued.

“Well, there’s not much time left. What I want to tell you this time is
about this thing I left here. In fact, a long time ago, I landed on a
different world called Earth. There, I met a man named Yuunosuke
and was able to experience the culture of the planet Earth. It was
there that I came into contact with an exciting and unknown
concept.”

It could even excite Sage-san… What the heck was that?

“So, I did my own research and succeeded in creating something


close to that concept… but I was too excited. Argena told me that it
was too much for her to manage, so I hid it far away on this planet.”

Sage-san? That lighthearted Argena-san… In other words, you have


created something that couldn’t be left in the different world?

I can’t tell how many times I’ve been surprised by Sage-san’s


outrageous stories, and I’m sure many more outrageous events will
be found in the future.

“In the end, I only used it a few times before I sealed it up on this
planet… Still, I’m delighted by it. Well, go ahead and use it.”

Sage-san said he was satisfied with it; it must be really outrageous,


right…?

As my face tightened up involuntarily, Sage-san’s voice gradually


faded.

“Now, my successor, who has arrived at this place… enjoy yourself to


the fullest. What was mine is now yours──”

Page | 138
As Sage-san’s voice faded away, not only me but everyone present
endured the intense light, and eventually, the light gradually
subsided.

“…Eh?”

As my eyes adjusted to the original brightness, I looked beyond the


open door and saw that nothing existed there.

“E-empty?”

“That’s ridiculous…”

Ouma-san also walked through the door in disbelief.

We hurriedly followed him into the door, but there was still nothing.

It was just a huge space.

“There is nothing here, is there?”

“There’s nothing here.”

“…The material of the walls of the room itself is no different from the
corridor we’ve been walking through. Either way, it’s an unfamiliar
material…”

(It’s a bit of a letdown, considering how ostentatious the staging


was.)

I still can’t believe it, just like Master Usagi said.

“Woof…”

“Buhi.”

“Pi?”

Night and the others were also looking around the room, but they
couldn’t find anything in the end.

Page | 139
Then Ouma-san tilted his head.

“It’s strange… Before we opened the door, I could strongly sense the
presence of the Sage from the inside of the room, and then all of a
sudden that presence disappeared… What the hell is going on?”

As everyone was puzzled by this situation, Iris-san looked at me with


a sudden realization.

“Ara? Yuuya-kun, have you ever worn a bracelet like that?”

“Eh?”

I also looked at where Iris-san was looking, and surprisingly, I saw an


unfamiliar bracelet on my arm!

“W-what the heck is this?”

I don’t remember wearing it at all, so I hurriedly tried to take it off,


but…

“Fuh… Nnggh!? Nnngghhhh!”

No matter how hard I pull, it won’t come off my arm! No way!

I immediately activated my [Identification] skill and found that it


was…

[Contract Bracelet] :: A contract bracelet.

What is the meaning of this skill!

What do you mean the item’s name and description are the same!
What does the contract say in the first place?

Page | 140
As I was confused by the questions that were coming out of my
mouth at an alarming rate, Ouma-san approached the bracelet.

“…I see. The Sage’s presence I had felt in this room was from that
bracelet…”

“U-um… I mean, what is this?”

“Perhaps the bracelet is the legacy of the Sage. What do you think?
Do you know how to use it?”

“Not at all.”

“Well, that’s just the way he is. He must have set it up so that you’ll
know how to use it at some point.”

“I hope so…”

I tried to use my skills to look into it, but nothing came up, and I also
tried to channel my magic power, but it didn’t work.

However, if Ouma-san is right and this item is Sage-san’s relic, then


we have no more business in this place.

When we left the room, the door that had just reappeared just
disappeared again like smoke.

“…It really is a strange building. The Sage’s magic is unfathomable…”

Odis-san said while observing the door disappearing. Even from the
perspective of a magic specialist, Sage-san’s magic was still
outstanding.

“…Umu. Other than the bracelet in Yuuya’s hand, there is no other


sign of the Sage in this place.”

“Yes… I’m not particularly attracted to anything anymore either.”

Page | 141
Whenever I came to this place, I felt as if I was being called by
something, but after I got the bracelet, I didn’t have that feeling
anymore, so I could assume that our business here was over.

“Merl-san, it’s been a little long, but we’re good to go here. Let’s go.”

(I understand. From here, we can warp all the way to the area
around Amel, so let’s leave right away.)

After nodding to Merl-san’s words, we left the planet.

Chapter 4 – The Great Giant

Part 1

While Yuuya and the others were exploring the temple, a meeting
was being held in the Regal Kingdom.

Not only the King of Regal, Orghis, but also the King of Alceria,
Arnold, and other kings from various countries had gathered for the
meeting.

Because, first and foremost, Orghis officially announced that he had


summoned a saint at this [King’s Council]. It was obvious that he
would be condemned by other countries.

Schleimann, the emperor of the Romel Empire in the northern land,


turned his sharp gaze to Orghis.

“…Orghis-dono. Do you understand what you’ve done?”

Following his words, Braha, the king of the Sahar Kingdom in the
south, also opened his mouth.

“Indeed! Summoning people from other worlds… is no different from


abducting them. And what does your country intend to do with the
strength of the saint you summoned?”

As if in agreement with the two of them, the other participants


raised their voices one after another and nodded.

Orghis was blamed for two things: abducting people from other
worlds and possessing such a force…

Page | 143
But then Lexia and the others, who had been watching the meeting
quietly, spoke up.

“As you may already know… the Evil has returned.”

“…..”

When the kings of each country and Orghis heard the words of Lexia
and the others, they looked at Lexia with sorrowful expressions. It’s
not just the Regal Kingdom, but other countries as well that have
been affected by the Evil Beast and have been somewhat aware of
the appearance of the Evil.

Therefore, each country was on the alert for the appearance of the
Evil, gathering various information and preparing their forces.

The moment they were about to discuss the resurrection of the Evil…
and the existence of the ultimate perfection Avis ── Lexia dropped
another bomb.

“But… that… Evil has already been destroyed.”

“What?”

“…Huh?”

“I’m sorry, Orghis-sama! I forgot to tell you until now!”

“You forgot?”

The content was no more believable than the return of Evil. Above
all, even Orghis, who initiated this meeting, had never heard of it
before.

As soon as Orghis recovered from his shock, he immediately asked.

“W-what do you mean by destroyed?”

Page | 144
“It means exactly what it means. You don’t need to worry about Evil
anymore.”

“…..”

He could not help but be appalled. He said he was going to talk about
what to do, but the target, the Evil, was already gone.

Then a voice came from the king of another country.

“P-Princess Lexia. Are you saying that it has been defeated by the
Holy?”

“No. It was someone else.”

“Someone else? You think there’s anyone other than the Holy that
can fight the Evil?”

The kings were in a state of disbelief. But only Orghis, the image of a
certain young man, came to his mind.

“N-no way…”

Lexia only smiled at Orghis, who widened his eyes.

***

“…I can’t believe the Evil has already been defeated…”

Due to Lexia’s bombastic words, there was almost nothing left to


discuss, and the [King’s Council] came to an end.

While each king returned to their prepared rooms, Orghis called on


Lexia and the others to hold an informal meeting to hear more
details.

Page | 145
And when Orghis heard the details from Lexia and the others again,
he muttered in dismay.

“…So, you really think that Yuuya-dono defeated Evil?”

“Or, to be more precise, it was Yuuya-sama’s companions, but…”

“…In the end, it’s all due to Yuuya-dono’s power, isn’t it?”

As Orghis said, although Night and the others had defeated the Evil,
they were also contracted with Yuuya, and it was no exaggeration to
say that they were a part of Yuuya’s power.

“What is really going on here? It’s so easy for someone from another
world, like Mai-dono, to destroy even the Evil…? Is another world
really that great?”

“N-no! It’s not! It’s just that guy… Yuuya is amazing, and the rest of
us are normal!”

“B-but Mai-dono also has special powers, doesn’t she?”

“Y-you’re right, but… I’m also pretty unique in my world, but most
people don’t have the power to fight.”

Mai was desperately trying not to let the existence of the Earth be
interpreted in a strange way.

“I-I see… Then, Mai-dono’s summoning was for naught… and


although I am glad that the problem of the Evil has been solved…
what should I do with Mai-dono, whom I summoned without
considering her inconvenience?”

“T-that’s the thing, but… Yuuya can go back and forth between this
world and my hometown, and thanks to him, I can go back to my
world. I’m sorry I haven’t told you this before, but… so please don’t
worry about that.”

Page | 146
“Is that so?”

Orghis’s eyes widened at the new fact that was brought to him here.

He knew from Mai that Yuuya and Mai were from the same world,
but he did not know that he could travel freely between the two
worlds.

“T-then you can always go back to your hometown, Mai-dono…?”

“Yes. But I still have to go to Yuuya’s house to go home…”

“Does that mean that Yuuya-dono has inherited the magic of the
Sage…?”

In response to Orghis’s question, Mai looked at each other with Lexia


and Luna.

“Err… I don’t know what kind of magic it is, but it allows you to go to
and from the other world through the door in Yuuya’s house.”

“A door? T-then again, if the door is there, can we also go to Mai-


dono’s world?”

While suppressing his surprise, Orghis began to make various


calculations in his mind at the fact that there is a means of
communication with the new world, but Lexia cut him off
immediately.

“I think it’s best not to think too deeply, though?”

“What?”

“The door belongs to Yuuya-sama, and if you try to get him involved
in something strange, I don’t think the Genesis Dragon will stay
silent.”

“Ugh…”

Page | 147
Remembering the intimidation he had received from Ouma, Orghis
was at a loss for words.

“And even though the Evil is gone, the Evil Beasts are still lurking in
many places, so it’s too early to relax.”

“…You’re right. I also heard that some strange people have been
moving around lately.”

“Eh?”

Orghis let out a sigh and looked around at Lexia and the others.

“Have you ever heard of a group called the Evil Cult?”

“Evil cult? Which gods do they worship?”

“No, it is not a cult that is generally accepted in this world. It’s a


group that worships the Evil.”

“The Evil?”

“Yeah. There are not many of them, but they have been working in
the dark in various countries with the cause of saving humanity
through Evil since before the revival. In the past, they have not
directly caused any major damage to the country, so we have kept
our guard up and have not done anything to crack down on them.
But recently, these people have been strangely active.”

“There is such a group…?”

Lexia was surprised to hear of the existence of such a group for the
first time. But Luna was the only one who knew of their existence,
having belonged to the Dark Guild.

“I know of their existence, but I don’t know what they do. Although
their ideology is dangerous, they haven’t caused any major incidents

Page | 148
in the past. There are also some of them in the Alceria Kingdom, but I
have not heard of any of them being caught…”

“Right. I’ve been vigilant of them because of what they worship, but
there has been no particular movement. However, the fact that the
activity has increased recently suggests that not only us but also the
Evil cult have sensed the resurgence of Evil… However, now that the
Evil has been destroyed, they must be beginning to make other
moves.”

“Another movement?”

“Yes. Perhaps they are aware of the fact that Evil has been
destroyed. And recently, there have been sightings of Evil cult
followers searching for something in various places.”

“Is it something about Evil?”

“I don’t know. It could be that they are looking for something or


someone. It’s not a problem that can be left unattended, even if it
hasn’t caused any real harm up until now. So I ordered a search of
the base of the Evil cult, but it was… empty.”

“So you’re saying they escaped?”

In response to Mai’s question, Orghis nodded with a mysterious


expression.

“Yeah. Perhaps they sensed our movement. It’s also possible that
they’ve already found what they were looking for… Either way, now
that we don’t know what they were looking for, we can only remain
vigilant.”

“B-but then again, the Evil has been destroyed, and there is no such
thing as more of it, is there?”

Page | 149
“In the worst-case scenario, it could be that… they have found a way
to resurrect the destroyed Evil, but in a more enhanced form.”

“””…..”””

Imagining the worst-case scenario described by Orghis, Lexia and the


others could only stay silent.

Page | 150
Part 2

(──Warp, release.)

With Sage-san’s legacy in my possession, we set off for the planet


Amel once again.

We were not attacked by the Dragonia aliens this time and


successfully completed the warp.

“It’s amazing, isn’t it? To be able to travel through such a vast


universe so easily…”

“But we can’t tell the difference between places, can we? Are we
really moving?”

“Yeah, we can’t tell the difference between places. But I think we’re
moving.”

Ruri and Rill were right when they commented on traveling at warp
speed. To be honest, I couldn’t really feel like we were moving
because I couldn’t see that much of a change in the surroundings.

Well, I couldn’t see the Earth already, so there was no doubt that we
were moving, but the speed at which the spaceship was moving was
so great that it felt like we were going on a short excursion like on
Earth.

As I was thinking about this, Merl-san’s voice sounded up.

“Everyone, we’re about to arrive at the planet Amel.”

(Hmph… finally, huh?)

“In a place like this where it’s always dark, our sense of time gets a
little out of sync. In fact, how long has it been since we left?”

Page | 151
(We’ve been using the warp function, so there shouldn’t be that
much of a time discrepancy from everyone’s experience… It should
be about ten hours, I think.)

“We can travel in less than a day…”

As Odis-san said, it was amazing that we were moving between the


planets in such a way that it was like traveling abroad in an airplane.

(Oh, look at that, everyone! That is the planet Amel ── Eh?)

At the sound of Merl-san’s voice, we all turned our gaze in the same
direction as she did.

There was a blue planet, similar to Earth, spread out on the window
of the cockpit. However, many spaceships from the Dragonia were
floating in the vicinity of the planet.

(They are attacking the planet!)

The spaceships of the Dragonias were firing energy cannons at the


planet one after another. The power of the cannons was so great
that if this spaceship were hit by even one of them, there would be
no escape.

However, the planet Amel was covered by a kind of magical barrier


like the one deployed by Ruri and Rill, and it was able to withstand
the attack of the Dragonias.

There were also several other spaceships… they did not belong to the
Dragonias and probably belonged to Amel, as they were engaged in a
fierce battle with the Dragonias’ spaceships.

However, it was obvious that they were at a disadvantage because


they were outnumbered.

Page | 152
“Hey, that’s a hell of a lot of them! Don’t tell me that this is only a
part of them!”

(If that’s the case, no matter how many of us there are, we’ll never
be able to defeat them.)

As Iris-san and Master Usagi stared at the Dragonias’ spaceship with


grim expressions, Merl-san came to her senses and shook her head.

(N-no! It seems that the Dragonias are serious about destroying the
planet Amel! As proof, the huge spaceship floating over there is the
Dragonias’ mothership… the Dragoon!)

In the direction that Merl-san was pointing, there was a spaceship


floating in the air that was so huge that it was incomparable to the
spaceships of the Dragonias that we had been fighting.

The ship, which resembled a giant dragon, was fully armed with a
large number of weapons.

(You can’t be serious; they were trying to settle the war…! We have
to hurry…!)

Merl-san quickly took control of the terminal and accelerated our


spaceship as we approached the planet Amel.

The Dragonias seemed to notice us, and several spaceships came


towards us.

“It looks like they’re not letting us pass easily…!”

(We’ll have to go out there and intercept them again!)

Following Master Usagi’s lead, we immediately jumped out into


space and charged at the Dragonias’ spaceship.

Then, unlike in the previous battle, a large number of Dragonias


came out of the spaceship.

Page | 153
“Are those… the clones just like the previous battle?”

It seemed that the Dragonias have excellent cloning technology, and


their usual method was to create an inexhaustible supply of clone
soldiers and send them into battle.

As a result, this time, we had to deal not only with the spaceship but
also with the Dragonias.

“This is so annoying…! [Heavenly Saint Slash]!”

Page | 154
Page | 155
Iris-san put the power of Holy in her sword and unleashed a huge
slash across the side. The slash wipes out the Dragonia aliens one
after another, but once again, a large number of soldiers are
deployed as replacements.

“Geez! There’s no end to the number of them we can take down!”

“You can’t stop them from coming out if you don’t beat the main
ones. Ignore those small fries and destroy the floating spaceships.”

“I can’t do that; that’s why I’m eliminating the small fry!”

As Iris-san said, it was difficult to get close to the enemy spaceship


due to many Dragonia aliens.

If we continue to poke around in the dark, we’re sure to get into a


crowded battle, and there’s a chance we’ll get swarmed and killed.

(The only saving grace is that their entire force is gathered here…
Considering the fact that there is also a commander of that time in
this place, I would like to conserve my strength!)

Even as he said this, Master Usagi was kicking away the Dragonia
aliens one after another, making good use of his magic to move
lightly through the air and attack the spaceship when he saw an
opening.

Indeed, we cannot go all out here, considering if a powerful enemy


like Drade joined in.

Was it a bad idea to think like that?

Page | 156
To my surprise, several Dragonia aliens appeared from the other
ship. Unlike the other Dragonias, they were wearing solid armor and
each of them had a variety of weapons.

And there was a familiar face among them.

(──Hello again, frontier warrior.)

“Drade…?”

Surprisingly, Drade, whom I had defeated on Earth, was now


standing in my way as one of the new Dragonia aliens that had
appeared!

That time, my attack did indeed pierce him. But the current Drade
showed no traces of the wound and appeared to be completely
healed.

In response to my surprise, Drade smiled ferociously.

(It was your mistake not to kill me back then. With our Dragonia
technology, I can recover from a wound of that level in no time.)

It’s true that right after I defeated Drade, he was retrieved by the
other Dragonias and escaped.

I was surprised to see him reappear like this in perfect condition, but
at the same time, it made sense. Considering the space technology
that Merl-san had used until now, I guess it was nothing special.

Then, a Dragonia who seemed to be the commander of another unit


made fun of Drade.

(Hey, hey, hey, you lost to such skinny bunches? You’re the worst!)

Page | 157
(…I’ll kill you now if I want to.)

(You think you can beat me after having lost to these small fries?
Look at us. We’ll finish them off in an instant, okay?)

Ignoring the words of the Dragonia, Drade stared straight at me.

(At that time, it was just the third squad, but now it’s different. Do
you really think you can fight against this many?)

“…No matter what happens, I’ll fight with all my might.”

(I see… Then I’ll defeat you this time…!)

“Kuh?”

The distance was closed in the blink of an eye, and I was attacked by
a spear. I immediately took out the [Absolute Spear] and somehow
prevented the attack.

Then Drade smiled ferociously.

(I was defeated last time, but this time is different. The other
commanders like me, who are here, will kill you all!)

“I won’t let you do that…!”

And so, we clashed again.

***

“Yuuya-kun!”

(──Oops, your opponent is me.)

“!?”

Page | 158
When Iris was about to rush towards Yuuya, a Dragonian alien
dressed in equipment similar to Drade’s stood before Iris.

“…I have to go to Yuuya. Out of my way.”

(Hey, hey, don’t be stupid, okay? If you want to go there so badly…


you’ll have to defeat me first!)

The Dragonia alien slashed at Iris as he responded.

Unlike Drade, this Dragonia alien wielded a sword. And it’s not just a
longsword. He was handling a huge sword as tall as Iris with ease.

(I’m Drad, commander of the second unit of the Dragonian planet.)

“…..”

When Drad introduced himself, Iris kept her calm expression and
swung her sword without opening her mouth.

“Don’t you have a name too? I feel lonely. If that’s the case… then let
me give you a name.)

“!?”

Drad’s pupils suddenly narrowed into a sharp vertical slit, and he


swung the sword in his hand quickly.

The sword, which was swung with no special technique but only with
the tremendous strength of his arms, engulfed even the surrounding
Dragonias and cut them into small pieces with ease.

“…Aren’t they with you?”

(Huh? Such disposables? Don’t be ridiculous. They are just a tool to


wear down the enemy. And it’s bad enough that they’re so close to
me. If they can’t be used, they should just get the hell out of my
sight!)

Page | 159
“!”

In response to the forceful blow swung down, Iris immediately


abandoned the choice of defense and jumped away from the spot.

Then, despite having a sufficient distance, a tremendous shockwave


struck Iris.

“Kuh! What ridiculous power…!”

(Hey, hey! What’s with the surprise? I haven’t even started to take it
seriously yet!)

When Iris realized that there was no way to avoid the huge sword
that attacked her like a storm, she held the sword up to her eyes and
slowly exhaled.

And then──.

“──[Wind Willow Slash]!”

“Ah!?”

Iris, like a willow, brushed aside the impact of the attack and inflicted
one wound after another on Drad’s body. Although each attack was
not very powerful, the countless cuts all over his body caused Drad
to frown and distance himself from Iris.

(You’re not bad… Huh!?”

“…..”

While Drad was enraged, Iris had a clear expression on her face.

Page | 160
(You bastard… I don’t care what your name is. I’ll just crush you right
here and now!)

Drad became angrier at Iris’s attitude and began to attack even more
violently.

He attacked in a huge storm, cutting up the surrounding Dragonia


clone soldiers with just the wind pressure of his sword. The blow was
so powerful that it could easily shatter a small meteorite and this
was not something that a human could approach.

But even in the face of such a Drad, Iris remained calm.

“──You are so barbaric.”

(Ah!)

Iris moves forward with a calm face through the raging storm of
swords. Not just swords, but even the wind pressure is easily avoided
as she finally closed in on Drad’s body.

(Wha!?)

“This is the end ── [Heavenly Saint Slash]!”

Iris’s sword, which was swung from below, sliced through Drad from
his groin all the way up to his brain and then went on to engulf other
Dragonia soldiers and one of the spaceships, obliterating it.

“A sword like a wild beast is no match for a human sword.


Remember that… though, it’s too late to tell you this. More
importantly, I have to save Yuuya-kun…!”

Page | 161
Iris had been looking at the place where Drad disappeared for a
while, but she hurriedly headed towards Yuuya.

Page | 162
Part 3

(I see. I guess that means you’re my opponent.)

(…..)

On the other hand, Usagi was confronting another one of the


Dragonia aliens. The Dragonia didn’t have any weapons and was
wearing a pair of gauntlets and leg armor.

(From the looks of it, it seems that you fight with hand-to-hand
combat…)

(…What an odd little animal. But since you are here, I will not show
you any mercy.)

Usagi laughed in amusement at the Dragonia, who readied himself


while saying that.

(Kukuku… It’s been a long time since I’ve been treated as a small
animal. Don’t worry. There is no need for mercy or hesitation. You’re
going to lose to me here anyway.)

(Hmph… Do you think this First Unit Commander, Dran, will be


defeated by a small animal like you? What a funny joke…!)

In an instant, the Dragonia alien, who called himself Dran, closed the
distance to Usagi and kicked at his small body mercilessly.

But…

(!?)

(I told you, didn’t I? There’s no need for mercy or hesitation.)

Usagi countered Dran’s kick with a similar kick, easily offsetting the
attack.

Page | 163
Dran quickly distanced himself and smiled ferociously.

(Fufu… You’re so cocky for a small animal. Do you think you’re on the
hunter’s side with that level of power?)

(…..)

(I don’t know where you got that kind of power, but… don’t get
carried away…!)

Dran wrapped his body with a kind of fighting spirit, and he closed in
on Usagi with a speed that was incomparable to the first strike. He
then lowered his body at once and unleashed a powerful fist that
struck at Usagi.

(Nnngghh!)

Although it was just a fist attack, the multiple shock waves released
easily destroyed not only the surrounding Dragonia clone soldiers
but also the asteroids floating in space.

But even in the face of such an attack, Usagi was in no hurry to evade
and stepped on top of Dran’s outstretched fist.

(Wha?)

(That’s the extent of your barking, huh?)

(…Screw you!)

(Oh?)

Against Usagi, who stood on top of his fist, Dran’s gauntlet changed
instantly, and suddenly an energy cannon was fired from it.

However, Usagi was not flustered by such an attack and jumped up


to avoid the gunfire with a relaxed attitude.

(What’s wrong? Is that equipment just for decoration?)

Page | 164
(Don’t you ever underestimate me!)

At Usagi’s provocation, Dran deployed a variety of weapons. In


addition to the energy cannons, Dran’s gauntlets were equipped with
energy shields to cover the defensive aspect.

Furthermore, his leg armor was equipped with a jet mechanism, and
his toes were also equipped with energy cannons, just like his
gauntlets.

Making full use of these armaments, Dran unleashed a series of


powerful attacks, but Usagi easily avoided all of them.

On top of that, while avoiding Dran’s attacks, Usagi analyzed the


characteristics of the Dragonia aliens from their attacks.

(Fumu… I’ve never encountered such weapons before, but it seems


that your pure combat power is not that high.)

(What the! What are you trying to say?)

(I’m saying that while your weapons are flashy, your skills are not.
That’s why… one of your people has already been defeated.)

(Wha… Drad?)

In response to Usagi’s words, Dran immediately turned his attention


to Drad, who was fighting Iris.

At that moment, he saw Drad being sliced open by Iris.

And then…

(──How dare you to look away so casually?)

(!?)

Page | 165
Usagi didn’t miss the moment when Dran took his eyes off him and
dove straight into his chest, taking advantage of his small body to
deliver a sharp kick to his torso.

([Kicking Flash])
(Gaaahh!?)

Dran was blown away by the kick before he could defend himself.
Usagi didn’t even give him time to regain his stance, and in an
instant, he went behind Dran and kicked him in the back.

([Heaven Leg])
(Guaah!?)

In space, where there is no ground, to begin with, it is difficult to


hold on unless one uses magic or science technology to adjust one’s
stance.

So, Dran was sent upward without being able to catch himself. He
managed to adjust his stance and looked around frantically, trying to
locate Usagi.

(W-where is he!? Where──)

(──Here.)

(Gueeeeee!)

Before he knew it, Usagi had moved above Dran’s head and slammed
a kick into his head.

Dran continued to plummet at an incredible speed.

(It’s impossible… This can’t be happening…! My weapons, filled with


Dragonia technology…! Why doesn’t it work? How can a mere small
animal attack…!)

Page | 166
(──[Star Drop])
In addition to creating a foothold with magic, Usagi also used the
magic he learned from Yuuya to clothe his legs with magic power. He
approached the falling Dran, spinning like a wheel, and struck him
with a powerful heel drop.

It was the best blow that Usagi could deliver right now, and it sent
shockwaves around him, blowing away a spaceship that had been
waiting nearby.

Usagi stared at Dran, who disappeared like Drad, and snorted.

(Hmph. What’s wrong with being a small animal? You lost to an


existence like me. That’s all.)

After turning his back on the vanishing Dran, Usagi headed for Yuuya.

***

(What is it? Are people from that remote planet so lacking in


strength that they need to use their pets? Huh?)

“Grrrrr…”

“Fugo.”

“Pi.”

Night and the others were also confronting one of the commanders
of the Dragonia aliens.

(The other guys are dealing with some interesting people, and I’m
dealing with stupid pets. Eh?)

Page | 167
It was Dracul, the commander of the fourth unit, who blurted this
out.

Dracul wore thicker armor than the other commanders and had a
huge axe in his hand. Moreover, his armor was equipped with
various energy cannons and shields, making him the most powerful
defender among the Dragonias.

This time, not only Night but also Akatsuki joined the fight against
such an opponent.

Dracul looked down at Night and the others and snorted in


annoyance, but when he caught Ciel’s eye, he remembered
something.

(Huh? I remember seeing that bird in Drade’s report… I believe it has


some kind of unknown power? If I catch this bird, I can brag to Drade
for letting it go, and I might even get a reward from His Majesty…
Kukuku. I thought it would be boring, but it turned out to be a hit.)

“Pii…”

“Grrrr… Woof.”

Seeing Ciel’s frustration at remembering that he was almost taken


away by Drade, Night became angry and, at the same time, released
magic.

However, Dracul didn’t even change his expression when he saw the
magic and just waved his arm carelessly to make the magic
disappear.

“Oh! Can you use magic even though you’re an animal? I like it more
and more!”

“Woof!”

Page | 168
Despite his huge size, Dracul charged at Night with agile movements.
He raised the axe in his hand and swung it down on Night.

(Oy, I’ll smash you!)

“Woof!”

Night hurriedly jumped away from the place, but Dracul was already
waiting ahead of him and swung his axe again.

(You think you can escape from me, you little beast?)

“Kyaan!?”

“Pi? Piiiiii!”

As Night was blown away, Ciel raised a flame of anger and charged
directly at Dracul.

Then Dracul’s eyes widened at the attack.

(Uooh! Is this the unknown power that Drade was talking about?)

“Piiiii!”

The blue flames strengthened Ciel’s strike, which blew away even
Avis. But Dracul, who already knew how to deal with Ciel, smiled
mockingly.

(Hah! Animals are stupid, aren’t they? Do you think that I don’t have
a countermeasure for you?)

“Pii?”

When Dracul put his hand on his chest armor, the part flew out in six
parts and expanded to surround Ciel. Each of the parts constructed
like a cage released energy and generated a strong gravitational pull
at its center.

Page | 169
At that moment, Ciel, who was heading towards Dracul, was pulled
into the center of the cage and was unable to move from that spot.

“Pii! Piiiiii!”

“Fugo! Buhi, buhi!”

Akatsuki hurriedly tried to help him, but he could not do anything


about it as he had no fighting strength.

(Gyaahahaha! This is what happens when you oppose me like that,


you little bastard!)

“Buhi! Buhi!”

Dracul approaches with a leisurely gait.

Even in the presence of such Dracul, Akatsuki still tried hard to get
Ciel to escape somehow.

“Pii! Pii!”

“Fugo! Buhi!”

Ciel appealed to Akatsuki to run away alone, but Akatsuki shook his
head at Ciel’s words and continued to attack the cage desperately.

(Hey, hey. Small fry like you will never be able to break my cage, you
know?)

“Buhi!”

As if to make a last effort, Akatsuki threatened Dracul, and Dracul


smiled wickedly.

(Kuh… Gyaahahahaha! Do you want to fight me? You’re nothing but


a pig!)

He laughed for a moment but then quickly stopped it.

Page | 170
(Hah… So annoying. Enough already, I’ll just kill you.)

“!?”

(Know your place, you annoying little bastard!)

Dracul, with a fierce gaze, slowly reached out to first crush Akatsuki.

(Don’t worry. The pain will only last a moment. Here, you──)

“──Wooooooooffff!”

──Suddenly, a tremendous roar echoed through the space.

The roar destroyed the surrounding spaceships and crushed a large


number of clone soldiers.

(Gaaaahh? W-what the hell?)

Dracul quickly covered his ears and looked around. At that moment,
he received a tremendous impact and was blown away, destroying
the asteroids from the impact.

(Guhoaaaaaa!?)

After destroying hundreds of asteroids, Dracul finally succeeded in


adjusting his stance and vomiting a large amount of blue blood from
his mouth; he desperately searched for the presence that had
attacked him.

(W-what the hell is going on?)

“──Woof.”

(Eh──)

Page | 171
A shadow landed behind Dracul noiselessly.

When Dracul hurriedly turned his attention to the shadow, he saw


that a huge [Night] was standing there.

(H-huh? What the heck… what is it with you…?)

The jet-black fur was reminiscent of the night sky. And with sharp red
eyes, the dignity that emanated from a huge body was second to
none, even compared to the Genesis Dragon.

Akatsuki and the Ciel were well aware of such a wolf.

“B-buhi.”

“P-piii!”

Page | 172
Page | 173
It was Night, who had been blown away by Dracul. For the first time,
Night, who had only been a puppy before, appeared as such a large,
magnificent figure.

This was the effect of a skill that Night had never been able to use
before, the [Night God Wolf’s Divine Authority].

He had never been able to use this skill before because he was too
young, and the conditions for activating the skill were not met.

However, it was the feeling of helplessness that he had felt in the


battle with Drade the other day and experiencing it again in this
battle with Dracul. In addition, the fact that Akatsuki was trying
desperately to help Ciel made him even angrier at himself for being
so helpless.

And the most important trigger was the name of Night’s skill…
[Night]. [T/n: The skill’s name is Yoru, which means Night too.]

While in the other world and on Earth, [Night] had a time constraint,
but in space itself, there was no sunlight, and therefore it was [Night]
and the power to release this skill was stored in Night’s body without
his knowledge.

With all these conditions in place, Night was able to activate the skills
that he should not have been able to use yet and transformed
himself into a magnificent Black Fenrir with a fighting strength that
rivaled Ouma.

Page | 174
Night, who had been calmly staring at Dracul, shifted his gaze to Ciel
and barked lightly again.

“Woof.”

“Pi? Pi!”

“Wha?”

With just that, the cage that held Ciel was destroyed, and Ciel was
free once again.

However, Dracul, who was temporarily removed from Night’s


consciousness because of his gaze on Ciel, immediately took up his
axe and attacked Night, taking advantage of the momentary gap.

(You idiot! You turned your back on me!)

“Pi?”

“Buhi!”

Ciel and Akatsuki rushed to stop Dracul, who was about to deliver a
blow with tremendous force to Night, but they could not do so in
time.

(Fooooollll! Dieeeeeee!)

It was a ruthless attack by Dracul with all his might.

But…

“…Woof.”

(W…wha?)

It was Dracul’s axe that was obliterated.

Page | 175
Dracul watches in dismay as his axe disappears from his hand. He
quickly came to his senses and fired the energy cannon mounted on
his full body armor at close range.

(W-what the hell did you do, you bastard!)

However, Dracul’s excessively fierce attack was easily crushed.

“Woof!”

Night barked again.

In fact, Dracul’s entire body armor shattered in an instant, and even


the bones in his body were shattered as he flew through the air
helplessly.

(Aaghh… Gaaaahh…!?)

Dracul was no longer able to move, let alone adjust his stance in the
air. As if to crush him, Night raises his arm──.

“Woof!”

(Hyii. W-wait───)

When Night swung his arm down, the surrounding clone soldiers and
spaceships, including Dracul, disappeared into dust.

Night, who was quietly watching the scene, suddenly began to groan
in pain.

“Uoo… Grrr…”

“Pi! Pii!”

“Fugo! Buhi!”

Page | 176
Ciel and Akatsuki hurriedly rushed over and tried to save Night by
using their respective skills. However, instead of recovering, Night
suffered even more and finally let out a loud howl.

“Awwoooooooo!”

And then, as Night slumped down, his body began to glow. After a
while, the light subsided, and the usual young Night was lying there.

“Pii!”

“Buhi!”

As Ciel and Akatsuki used their skills with all their might, Night roared
slightly and quietly opened his eyes.

“W… woof?”

“Pi! Pii!”

“Fugo!”

“Woof?”

Ciel and Akatsuki immediately hugged Night, but Night tilted his
head, not seeming to understand what was going on. When Night
returned to his normal state, he had no memory of the time when he
was the Black Fenrir.

Although it was good that he was awake, he was still exhausted, so


Night and the others looked worriedly at Yuuya and prayed for his
safety.

Page | 177
Part 4

“That’s… Black Fenrir? Why is it here?”

“Answer. That’s Night. He’s been with us this whole time.”

“That one? What’s going on with Yuuya-dono’s family…”

While Yuuya and the others were dealing with their respective
commanders, Yuti, who was standing on top of the spaceship that
Merl was desperately trying to control, and Odis, who was dealing
with the bombardment from the Dragonia spaceship, were having a
conversation.

Not only Odis but also Merl and the others were astonished by the
sudden appearance of the legendary being.

(Oh, so that’s Night-san’s true form…)

“That’s amazing, isn’t it?”

“That’s amazing!”

As Ruri and Rill also became excited, Ouma, who had been sleeping
for a long time now, opened his mouth and sighed absently.

“Fuwahh… I’ve been expecting his awakening to come soon, but I


didn’t expect it to happen here. It’s not a complete awakening, it
seems… Fufufu. As expected of a race that can rival me. It’s not
perfect, yet it gave me a shiver.”

Over the course of working with Yuuya, Ouma had never once
mentioned such a thing, but is now commenting on the presence
that emitted from Night.

Page | 178
This was literally proof that Night possessed a power rivaling the
Genesis Dragon.

“Affirmative. Night is a capable boy.”

“That’s right. To think that he’s already that smart as a kid, it’s going
to be scary when he grows up.”

“…I don’t know, but why can’t I see that Black Fenrir anymore?”

When Odis asked this, Ouma replied while laying down again.

“It’s simple. As I said before, he is not fully awake yet. The burden on
the body is too great. So he won’t be able to use that skill for a
while.”

“I see… If we had that power, this battle would have been over in an
instant… It can’t be helped.”

Odis was right. If Night had been able to maintain that awakened
state, this battle would have been settled literally in an instant.
However, since it was his first awakening, Night was still unable to
control his power. Immediately after defeating Dracul, he returned
to his normal state.

If Night in that state had gone on a rampage without being capable


of thinking, he could have destroyed not only the Dragonias but also
Yuuya and the others, and even the planet Amel.

However, Night had instinctively sensed this. When he defeated


Dracul, he canceled his awakened state.

This was the reason why, from Ouma’s point of view, Night’s latent
abilities were so frightening.

Page | 179
However, even though they had defeated most of the Dragonias
leaders, they still had to deal with Drade, the clone soldiers, and the
biggest problem of all, the giant spaceship Dragoon.

“Even so… it seems that Iris and the others fought quite
spectacularly. I thought they would struggle more, even if they could
not overwhelm them like Night-dono did…”

“Of course. They are strong. But there’s no end to the number of
spaceships the enemy has…”

(Kuh…! There’s still way too many of them…!)

“Hmm, I wonder how long the magic power used to defend this ship
will last? It’s pretty intense, you know?”

“Yes, very intense.”

As Merl was desperately trying to avoid the bombardment from the


Dragonia spaceship, Ruri and Rill, who were deploying the magic
barrier from inside the spaceship, raised their voices in peril.

“Merl-san, are you okay?”

(Ruri-san, I’m sorry…! I wish I could lessen the burden on the two of
you, but with this many enemies, we’re still likely to get hit…)

“It’s inevitable, isn’t it?”

“It can’t be helped. It’s crazy that we have to deal with such a large
number all by ourselves.”

“I agree with my disciple on that. This situation is disadvantageous


no matter how you look at it. In fact, if this were the case, there
would not even be a fight. However, because Iris and Usagi are more
capable than expected, we can still fight like this. Apparently, the
two of them were able to defeat the enemy leaders, and I guess our

Page | 180
job is to protect this ship and hopefully shoot down some of the
enemy spaceships.”

(I understand that, but with the armament on this ship, it would be


difficult even to get a decent fight against the enemy spaceships… If I
were to go in there myself, I think I could take out a ship or two with
my restored armament mode…)

“I’m not going to let Merl-san, who is the only one who can pilot this
ship, go out there. And even if you could take down a few ships,
you’d still be at a disadvantage. Let’s hope Usagi and the others can
drop as many enemy ships as possible…”

“Master. Can they do that?”

“I’m sure they can. I don’t think they could take down that one big
ship, but I’m sure they could do something else.”

“What about you, Master?”

“…I’m busy shooting down the bombardment that’s coming our


way.”

When Odis slurred his words, Ruri and Rill became agitated.

“Ah! Master just went away?”

“Yes, Master escaped it.”

“Those two are amazing, aren’t they? But Master is not that great, is
he?”

“Ruri, I feel bad if you compare him with those two. He’s a shut-in,
after all.”

“Right. That’s true, isn’t it?”

“Yes, yes. That’s true.”

Page | 181
“…Is that all you have to say?”

“”Hyii!?””

“It can’t be helped… If you’re so concerned, take a good look.”

Odis called out to Yuti, who was on top of the spaceship shooting
down enemy fire with him, with a vein in his forehead.

“Yuti-dono?”

“Answer. Did you call for me?”

“I’m sorry, but can you handle the attacks coming our way on your
own for a moment?”

“…Understood. But I can’t handle this many for long.”

“It’s okay. It won’t take long.”

As soon as Odis said that, he immediately formulated his magic


power. Then, as if in response to Odis, a magic sphere appeared
outside Merl’s spaceship, and it gradually grew larger.

Yuti watched the scene as she shot down the bombardment.

“Astonishing. Amazing magic power… this is the Magic Saint…”

Merl also operated the spaceship more carefully so as not to


interfere with Odis’ concentration and continued to avoid being hit.

And then──.

“──[Destruction Magic].”
The moment Odis slowly opened his eyes and chanted that, the
magic power that had already formed into a huge mass shrank at
once and was released in the direction where there were many
spaceships.

Page | 182
The mass of magic power that had shrunk to a tiny size reached the
center of the swarm without difficulty, unnoticed by not only the
clone soldiers but even the Dragonia spaceships.

“Blast them all!”

At that moment, the magic that had been compressed exploded all
at once, and the mass of magic power became a destructive force
that wiped out all the surrounding spaceships.

The aftermath was tremendous, and the impact was fierce. It was
felt not only on Merl’s spaceship, which was far away, but also by
Usagi and the others who were fighting the enemy.

The impact was so great that Usagi voiced his complaint.

(Hey, Odis! If you’re going to unleash such crazy magic, give me a


word first!)

“That’s right! You almost got us caught up in that!”

Odis was on his knees in the spaceship, breathing hard as he replied


to Usagi and the others who were complaining.

“Hah… hah… You’re safe, aren’t you…? That’s okay then…”

“Hey, are you okay? You’ve been reckless, haven’t you?”

“Of course… I can’t shoot that thing… many times… but I took care of
most of the spaceships. I’ll leave the rest to you…”

(…Hmph. I’d like to complain about this to your face, but for now,
rest. But remember that this when all is said and done?)

“Huh… I don’t want to──”

“”Master!””

Odis finally couldn’t take it anymore and collapsed on the spot.

Page | 183
Ruri and Rill immediately rushed to embrace him, and Merl gave
instructions as she piloted.

(There’s a bed over there. There is also a medical function installed in


that bed, so please let him sleep there.)

“U-understood!”

Ruri and Rill carried Odis to the bed as instructed by Merl.

As she watched them go, Merl steeled her resolve even more.

(We were able to reduce the strength of the Dragonias in one move
thanks to Odis-san. However, it seems that the Dragoon is
completely locked onto us, but at the same time, my compatriots on
Amel must have noticed my presence. The only thing left to do is to
see how far… Yuuya-san and the others can go──)

Merl maneuvered her spaceship to avoid the attacks from the


remaining Dragonia aliens while praying for Yuuya and the others to
put up a good fight.

Page | 184
Part 5

(No way…! The Dragonia elites… those commanders were defeated?)

Drade, who had been fighting with me, was astonished that the
other commanders had been defeated.

I was really surprised about Night, not to mention Iris-san and


Master Usagi.

I suddenly felt a tremendous pressure similar to Ouma-san’s, and


when I turned my gaze towards it, I saw a huge jet-black wolf.

I was surprised by his appearance, but I knew immediately that the


wolf was Night.

It seemed that Night had also unleashed his power for some reason.
I’ll have to make sure of that when this battle is over.

In order to do that, I need to defeat Drade in front of me now.

Unlike the time of the previous attack, I was able to activate both
[Holy King’s Authority] and [Holy Evil Creation] from the start in this
fight.

(Kuh…! What the hell is this power…!)

“[Thousands Spear Piercing]!”


(Gaahh!)

Drade, who could not handle my attack, suffered many wounds on


his body. Then he distanced himself from me and looked at me in
disbelief.

Page | 185
(Impossible…! I was defeated once, and in order to defeat you, I
made further modifications to this body! So why am I… being
overwhelmed?)

It seems that after Drade was defeated by me and was retrieved


back, he further modified and strengthened his body.

It is true that in this fight, I felt that each blow was more powerful
than the last, and it was obvious that if I took even one hit, I would
take a lot of damage.

But now that I could use the power of the [Holy and Evil Creation]
even more than before, I was able to overwhelm Drade.

Then, Kuro, who was inside me, raised his voice in amusement.

“Hahahahahaha! This is so good! I wonder what it feels like to be


beaten by someone you thought you could beat?”

“Hey, Kuro?”

“Isn’t it nice? And I’m helping you, too. You should be a little
grateful.”

“Yeah, thanks a lot for that.”

I’ve been fighting with the help of Kuro, as he said.

This is because I needed to activate the power of Evil to match the


power of the Holy that was strengthened by the [Holy King’s
Authority], so I borrowed the power of Kuro.

Thanks to that, I am now able to draw out the full potential of the
[Holy and Evil Creation], and in combination with Sage-san’s
weapon, I am now overwhelming Drade.

Drade shook his head as if to say that he didn’t approve of such a


situation.

Page | 186
(Unbelievable… There is no way that we, the Dragonias, can lose…
We can’t lose!)

“!”

In an enraged state, a tremendous fighting spirit rose from Drade’s


body, and he thrusted out his spear with a speed that was
incomparable to anything he had ever done before.

(Dieeeeeee!)

Drade had lost all sense of reason and become a weapon that would
simply annihilate the enemy in front of him.

In response, I quietly held up my spear and unleashed a technique.

“[True Divine Piercing]…!”

Page | 187
Page | 188
It’s the best attack that I can do right now, with the [Holy King’s
Authority], [Holy Evil Creation], and also [Magic Armor] deployed.

It was a flash that surpassed the [God Piercing] that the Spear Saints
used in the past… and it was a flash that pierced even the gods.

Drade and I crossed in an instant.

I had a cut on my cheek from Drade’s attack, but a few moments


later, a huge hole appeared in Drade’s torso.

(No… way… I’m losing… again…)

Drade collapsed quietly and then disappeared as particles.

“Suh… haaahh!”
I let out a nervous gasp and fought back the urge to collapse.

Then Iris-san and others rushed over to me.

“Yuuya-kun! Are you okay?”

“Oh… Iris-san. I’m fine.”

(Hmph, pathetic… You should have plenty of room to beat that guy.)

No, Master Usagi… even if you say so…

I almost reacted to Master Usagi’s words, but then I remembered


that we were still in battle.

“That’s right! We have to hurry back to the spaceship to help Merl-


san and the others──”

Page | 189
(──Disgusting!)

“!?”

──The voice that reached our ears was incredibly heavy.

***

While Yuuya and the others were fighting the final battle against the
Dragonias in space, far away on Earth, Kaori was helping her younger
sister, Kasumi, with her summer homework.

“Kasumi? You’re making a mistake there.”

“Eh? …Oh, you’re right!”

With the summer vacation already in its final stages, Kasumi had not
yet finished her homework, and she begged Kaori for help.

Although she was dismayed by this, Kaori was happy to be relied on


because she rarely met Kasumi and decided to help her with her
homework.

Kaori smiled at Kasumi, who was struggling with her homework and
looked up at the sky from the window.

“…Yuuya-san, what are you doing now…?”

Those were the words that were muttered unconsciously.

Then, Kasumi reacted to the murmur, and her eyes lit up.

Page | 190
“Onee-chan? Who is Yuuya-san! Could he be… your boyfriend?”

“Eh!?”

As well as mumbling unconsciously, Kaori was very flustered because


she didn’t think that Kasumi would notice it.

Kasumi smiled more and more at the sight of her.

“Looking at you like that, I guess it’s true?”

“N-no! We are not in that kind of relationship yet…!”

“Yet~?”

“~~! Stop teasing me, or I won’t help you with your homework!”

“Wawa! I-I’m sorry!”

When Kaori turned her face away from Kasumi, Kasumi hurriedly
apologized.

However, Kasumi immediately continued with a look of interest.

“Hey, hey, Onee-chan. What kind of person is this Yuuya-san?”

“Eh?”

“You’re so naive, you know? You might have been deceived by a bad
guy!”

“N-naive, you say…?”

Kaori couldn’t help but smile bitterly at Kasumi’s words, but since
she didn’t know much about the outside world, she couldn’t say
anything back.

“Then how is it?”

“T-that’s right… he’s very kind.”

Page | 191
As Kaori answered, she remembered the first time she met Yuuya.

“A few months ago… I was being tangled up with a few men, and
while the others pretended not to see it, Yuuya-san was the only one
who had the courage to help me…”

“He’s such a kind person!”

“I want to return the favor to such a kind Yuuya-san, even if only a


little, so I decided to invite him to our school. Now, he is the closest
person to me in the school, and he is very important to me…”

“Hmm.”

“Huh? W-what is it, Kasumi?”

“Nothing~?”

Kaori reacted immediately to the smirking Kasumi.

However, the expression on Kaori’s face did not stop, and she also let
out a sigh of exasperation and looked up at the sky from the window
again.

“(The summer vacation will soon be over… I hope we can meet


soon…)”

With these thoughts in mind, the sisters’ daily lives pass by.

Page | 192
Part 6

Yuuya and the others were struggling in the vast universe far away
from the peaceful time of the Earth, but someone’s voice was
suddenly directed at them.
The weight of the voice almost crushed not only me but also Iris-san
and Master Usagi just by hearing the voice.

“W-what the heck… is this…!”

If I hadn’t used magic to create a foothold, I would have been


knocked off to the edge of the universe… That’s the kind of pressure
I felt.

This feeling is very similar to the time when I faced Avis, who became
the ultimate perfection of Evil. But the big difference is that the
Dragonias have the technology to neutralize Ciel’s attack, which
overwhelmed Avis.

In other words, we can’t expect Ciel and the others to defeat him as
they did with Avis.

I managed to resist the pressure and looked up to see the Dragoon,


the mother ship of the Dragonias, pointing its hull in our direction.

And at the front of the ship, there was a figure of a Dragonia alien.

That Dragonia alien was different from all the other Dragonias we
had fought, with magnificent horns and royal-looking clothes.

He looked down at us coldly and continued to speak.

(You… who permitted you to look at me? Kneel down!)

“Guhh!”

Page | 193
Another pressure was exerted on us.

The pressure was like gravity multiplied by hundreds of times, and


such a force continued to be applied from above our heads.

In order to withstand the pressure, I thrust my spear into the


foothold I had created with magic.

Then the Dragonia alien in front of us suddenly appeared and smiled


with interest.

(Oh? You can withstand the pressure of my words… fine. For your
small resistance, you will have the honor of hearing my noble name.)

The Draconia alien said with an attitude of utter arrogance,


addressing us, Merl-san’s spaceship, and the planet Amel.

(I am Draco III. I am here to tell you, impudent people… that you may
die now.)

“Kuh? [Heavenly Saint Slash]…!”


I had a bad premonition and immediately unleashed the [Heavenly
Saint Slash] with all my might.

And the next moment, the Dragoon unleashed a blast at us that was
more massive than any bombardment I’ve ever seen!

When my full power strike collided with that blast, it looked like a
tense fight for a while, but it couldn’t be completely canceled out,
and the huge blast scattered all around.

“Guh!?”

“Kyaaa!”

(Kuh!)

Page | 194
The impact was so great that even Merl-san’s spaceship, which was
far away, had to endure it desperately to avoid being blown away.

In contrast, those of us who received the impact up close were badly


damaged.

Me, in particular, had already lost all strength in my body due to the
fact that I had exerted all my power to stop the attack.

At such a sight, Draco III once again raised his voice with interest.

(Oh? You blocked a blow from my Dragoon?)

“Kuhah! Hah! Hah!”

“Yuuya-kun!”

Iris-san hurriedly called out to me, but I did not have enough time to
respond to her.

I had done everything in my power to intercept the attack, and I had


no confidence in my ability to defend myself if the same attack was
unleashed again.

Even the [Violent Eating Cleaner], which had sucked up Drade’s


attack last time, would not be able to absorb this attack. I was
certain because it was that powerful.

I tried to catch my breath before Draco III made his next move, but
he continued to ridicule me.

(I could give you the same attack again… but if I give you more
despair, you’ll give up on living, won’t you?)

“Wha──”

Page | 195
It’s not just the main cannon on the front of the dragon-shaped
Dragoon, but the other cannons as well, and the gathered energy
was on the same scale as the one that was just released.

This was despair itself.

Even if I could have prevented the first blow, I could not prevent the
second.

On top of that, several attacks of the same scale as the previous one
were coming at us at the same time, and it was nothing but a
nightmare.

Not only me but also Iris-san and Master Usagi could not help but be
stunned by the situation.

(It was a bit of amusement, wasn’t it, all of you? Well then…
farewell.)

At the same time as Draco III’s words, a volley of cannon was fired
simultaneously.

It was at that moment that I realized that there was no way to avoid
or prevent it and that… we were going to be wiped out.

“…Eh?”

The bracelet on my arm began to emit a dazzling light!

A particularly dazzling light enveloped the area, and I closed my eyes.

I closed my eyes and felt the light subside, but when I opened my
eyes nervously, I was appalled by the sight before me.

“Wh… wha…!?”

“Contractor in danger ── activation complete. Decisive golem


activated.”

Page | 196
A silvery-white giant was standing there.

It had a sophisticated form like that of a knight, with a sword and a


shield in its hands, and the shield was sticking out as if to protect us
from the bombardment fired by the Dragoon.

Draco III’s eyes widened at the sudden appearance of the mysterious


giant.

(No way… A great giant? Where did you get that?)

Unfortunately, I didn’t know what Draco III was talking about, and I
didn’t know what this giant was either.

However, this giant was probably Sage-san’s legacy that I inherited


from that temple-like place.

Could it be that the exciting concept that Sage-san mentioned that


he learned about on Earth was the… giant robot──!?

Iris-san and the others were looking up at the giant as stunned as I


was. Eventually they came to their senses and turned their gaze to
me.

“W-wait a minute, Yuuya-kun! Does that belong to you, Yuuya-kun?”

“L-looks like it…”

“Looks like it, you say… Where did you get it?”

“Err… it seems like this is Sage-san’s legacy from the temple we


stopped at before coming here.”

“No way!”

(…Iris. I know you can’t believe it, but it’s Yuuya we’re talking about.
Just give up.)

“What do you mean by that?”

Page | 197
I completely didn’t expect it either!

Indeed, when I opened the door in that temple, I saw a vision of


something like a giant falling down on me, but… all that was left in
my hand was the bracelet, and I thought it was just my imagination
after all.

I never thought that it would appear in this way…

In addition, it perfectly blocked all of the bombardment from the


Dragoon.

As I was once again staring at the knight that had appeared in front
of me, the knight turned its head towards me as it did so.

“Contractor confirmed. Permission to board granted. Do you wish to


board?”

“Eh? I can get in?”

“Affirmative. I’ve just activated the automatic defense system, but I


am basically controlled by the contractor.”

“I-I see.”

It looks very cool, but… apparently, it’s something like that famous
giant robot that’s so famous that I know it too. S-Sage-san, what are
you doing exactly? You’re not going to say that when you came to
Earth, you saw those works and just built them for fun, are you?

“But, by the way, I’m a golem that was created as a result of Zenovis,
the creator, being exposed to Earth’s subculture. He claimed that I
am not a golem, but a robot.”

“It really is!”

Page | 198
I knew that when Sage-san came to Earth, he must have been
inspired by the robot-related works he came in contact with there to
create this golem.

What are you really doing? Sage-san…

“More importantly, what do you want to do? Would you like to


board?”

“Um…”

I suddenly looked at Iris-san and the others, who seemed appalled


and watched our exchange, but they nodded vigorously when they
noticed my gaze.

“Go ahead, Yuuya-kun! If you don’t use the power of this golem, we
won’t be able to get through this tough situation anyway!”

(To be honest, I’m still confused, but… that shouldn’t stop you from
getting on… although I really can’t stop being confused…)

“Isn’t it already too late for you? It’s Yuuya-kun, after all. And look at
that material. Isn’t that Orichalcum no matter how you look at it? It
has the highest physical resistance and magic resistance.”

(Orichalcum? That super rare material?)

“Yeah. It’s like it’s made entirely out of Orichalcum, which makes the
word rare seem ridiculous.”

…I’m going to ride this giant knight for now because I’m afraid that I
will get even more confused with the additional information if I listen
to any more of it.

“Contractor intention confirmed. Transfer.”

“Whoa!”

Page | 199
Suddenly, a magic circle appeared at my feet, and the next moment I
was standing in a strange space.

There were no pilot seats or machines lined up like in a robot


animation, but purely wide open space.

However, in front of me was a reflection of the scenery outside, and I


could see Draco III, who was more stunned to see this knight than
me…

As he looked around, Draco III, who had come to his senses, raised
his voice.

(Kukuku… kuhahahaha! After all, I am the one who deserves to be


the ruler of the world! I never thought I’d see the legendary great
giant here! I will defeat him and make the great giant mine!)

Just as he announced that he would take this knight, the energy


began to gather in the Dragoon’s cannons again!

“T-this is bad! What should I do?”

“Please remain calm. You can control this by actually moving your
body.”

For the time being, I followed the knight’s words and moved my
arms, and the giant moved in sync with me!

As I was impressed by this, a voice called out to me.

“It’s fine that you’re impressed, but are you sure you don’t want to
block his attacks?”

“T-that’s right! Um… like this?”

The moment I finished confirming how to move, the Dragoon


unleashed an energy cannon!

Page | 200
(You shall bow down to the majesty of my Dragoon! Hahahahahaha!)

As Draco III’s sneer echoed through the air, I swung my sword with
the same feeling I always have when I’m wielding the [Omni-Sword].

Then…

(What?)

The knight’s sword easily sliced through the barrage from the
Dragoon.

As I was surprised by this, the knight called out to me.

“I am powered by the magic of my contractor. So, taking into


account the current amount of magic power of the contractor, the
next three minutes should be the limit of activity.”

“Is that so?”

I thought it was some kind of robot, but the activity time is special
effects?

But should I think that being able to move such a huge knight for
three minutes with only my magic power is amazing? If I think about
it normally, my magic power should be depleted in an instant.

Thinking about this, I believed the knight’s words and decided to


defeat the Dragoon in front of me before it reached its three-minute
activity limit.

Then, Draco III hurriedly gave the order.

(S-shoot! Just keep up the bombardment! Don’t let it get any closer!)

As if in response to Draco III’s words, not only the Dragoon but all the
other Dragonia spaceships pointed their cannons in my direction and
began to accumulate energy!

Page | 201
But even in the face of this scene, I was not panicked.

“Hah!”

(W-what!?)

Despite being so huge, this knight could move as agilely as I could.

In addition, it seems that if I use the [Holy King’s Authority] or [Holy


Evil Creation] together, their effects will be reflected in the knight’s
attacks.

As a result, this knight could move around the universe at a


ridiculous speed.

The other Dragonia spaceships attacked me one after another as if


they were forming a shield, but I didn’t stop.

“[Unparalleled War Dance]!”


Even the techniques of the Sword Saint were reflected in the
movements of the giant knight, and all the spaceships that
approached were cut down.

And finally, I reach the Dragoon.

(Nonsense… Is this the power of the great giant? Why is this power
not mine? I-it should be for… meeeeeeee!)

The attack with the largest amount of energy here was unleashed
from the front of the Dragoon.

In the face of the mighty attack, I calmly held my sword at the top.

And then──

“──[Heavenly Saint Slash]!”

Page | 202
As I swung down the strike with all my might, the bombardment
from the Dragoon was slashed apart, and a sword flash of fierce
power approached the Dragoon itself.

(S-stop… This me… losing in a place like thiiiiiissssss!)

Immediately afterward, a huge explosion occurred.

I immediately set up the shield to protect Iris-san and Merl-san’s


spaceship and prevent the shockwave from the explosion.

“…Did we win…?”

When the explosions subsided, and I looked beyond my shield, I saw


that the Dragonia spaceship fleet had vanished without a trace.

Page | 203
Epilogue

Part 1

We had successfully defeated the Dragonia aliens.

Once I confirmed that all the Dragonias had disappeared, the giant
knight I controlled suddenly began to glow.

“W-what is it?”

“I have reached my limit of activity. The summoning will now be


canceled.”

“Ah…”

After hearing this announcement, the knight disappeared, and I was


thrown out into space.

Fortunately, thanks to Merl-san, I was able to adapt to outer space…


but if I hadn’t, it would have been horrible…

“Yuuya-kun!”

“Iris-san!”

As I was dumbfounded, Iris-san and Master Usagi came running up to


me.

“Are you okay, Yuuya-kun? Are you hurt?”

“I-I’m fine! I’m fine!”

Page | 204
Immediately after Iris-san came running up to me, she touched my
body here and there to make sure I wasn’t injured. I’m glad she’s
worried about me, but it’s embarrassing…

Then, Master Usagi muttered to Iris-san with a look of disbelief.

(What are you worried about? It’s obvious that Yuuya will be fine,
no?)

“Hey, Usagi! He was indeed riding that ridiculous golem so that he


might be fine, but you know firsthand how bad the enemy was,
right?”

(Hmph… It’s true, that guy’s the master of all of them, so he’s of a
different class.)

As Master Usagi said, the power of Draco III was incomparable to


that of Drade and the other commanders.

Although he hadn’t fought Draco III directly, the sense of


intimidation that seemed crushing down just by speaking was on par
with when he faced Avis.

In addition, the energy cannons of the Dragoon, the mothership of


the Dragonias, were also a terrible thing. If it weren’t for the power
of the giant knight entrusted to me by Sage-san, I would have lost for
sure.

When I was trembling thinking about it, Master Usagi told me with a
serious expression.

(By the way… Sage’s legacy is a crazy one. I didn’t know that he had
built such a huge golem…)

“And it’s made of Orichalcum, that’s crazy…”

As expected, but this is Sage-san that we’re talking about…

Page | 205
Moreover, the reason behind the creation of such a ridiculous thing
is that when he was transferred to Earth, he was exposed to a
subculture and wanted to create his own… I think it’s too frivolous
and overdone…

In addition, Draco III talked about the great giant and many other
meaningful things… After building that knight, did Sage-san do
something in space?

…I wouldn’t be surprised if he saved a single planet, saying it was a


trial run.

That knight seemed to have disappeared into my bracelet… Now I


couldn’t hear the voice of the knight who had taught me so much,
and the bracelet didn’t seem to respond.

As I was staring at the bracelet, Merl-san’s spaceship was coming


towards us.

(Everyone! Are you okay?)

“Oh, Merl-san! We’re fine over──”

That was the moment I was about to say that.

In the exact moment, another fleet of spaceships, different from


those of the Dragonias, appeared around Merl-san’s spaceship and
us as they approached.

(Don’t move! Who are you people? And where’s the great giant that
just appeared?)

This voice came from a fleet of spaceships, presumably from the


planet Amel.

Indeed, we came close to the planet Amel, but we immediately


started fighting with the Dragonias…

Page | 206
“…It’s kind of disturbing.”

(It’s no wonder. You can’t blame them. We started the battle


without even coming forward.)

As Master Usagi said, from the perspective of the people of planet


Amel, they may not be able to determine whether we are friend or
foe.

As I raised my arms to show that I had no hostile intentions, Merl-san


peeked out from the spaceship.

(Father, please stop! These people are my friends!)

(Wha… Merl!)

“Eh, father?”

At the same time as my surprised voice, the voices coming from the
spaceship fleet also showed their surprise.

***

(Oh… you are the great giant’s apostle…! Thank you…Thank you…!)

Thanks to Merl-san, we cleared up the misunderstanding and were


invited to the planet Amel by the fleet of spaceships.

Merl-san’s spaceship was already in tatters from the previous


encounter and the battle with Draco III, but just like when she
repaired my house, she used her nanomachines to fix it before
coming here, and we were able to land safely on Amel.

Page | 207
The sky on Amel was the same blue as on Earth, but there were
three sun-like objects floating in the sky, and the buildings were all
floating in the air.

In addition, many flying cars are flying around in the air, and I can’t
help but wonder if this is what the Earth will become when
technology advances.

We were taken to a large building, where a man with blue


phosphorescence hair, just like Merl-san, bowed to us.

“P-please, raise your head! I’m not that great of a person!”

(What a humble man… that is precisely the kind of man who


deserves to be a hero…!)

“As I said, I’m not a hero…!”

The more I denied it, the more the people of Amel looked in
anticipation and bowed to me. What should I do?

While I was desperately trying to deal with the people of Amel, Odis-
san and the others were looking around curiously.

“So this is Merl-dono’s hometown, huh…? It seems that magic exists


on this planet as well, but it seems that the technology called science
is more widely used…”

“Yuuya-kun’s planet, what was it called again, Earth, wasn’t it? That
world is amazing enough, but this world is also very different from
our own. More importantly, is Odis okay now?”

“Yeah. I was a little reckless, but I was able to recover with the
technology of this planet.”

(…So, even if you don’t use magic, you can make up for it with top-
notch science and technology. The world is a big place after all…)

Page | 208
“But why is their hair shining?”

“But why is their hair shining, I wonder.”

“Is it magic?”

“Maybe magic, yes.”

(Ruri-san and Rill-san are correct, we do store magical power in our


hair. However, we don’t use magic in our daily lives because…
technology has made everything so convenient.)

“I see. Isn’t that great?”

“Yeah, yeah, it’s great.”

As this conversation unfolded behind me, the man from planet Amel,
who had finally calmed down, bowed his head.

(I’m sorry, I just got excited…)

“N-no, it’s fine.”

(My name is Marl, and I am the representative of this planet. I


cannot thank you enough for all the help you have given my
daughter Merl, and for defeating the Dragonias… Thank you very
much.)

((Thank you very much!))

It seems that the person who was dealing with me was Merl-san’s
father, Marl-san, and he was also a representative of the planet
Amel, and he bowed to me along with the other Amel people.

“I’m really glad that I could be of help.”

(What a generous soul… Just as the legend says…)

“Legend?”

Page | 209
When I asked him about it, he nodded his head.

(Yes. In this universe, there is a legend that has been passed down
from generation to generation. It is said that an apostle who controls
a great giant will bring peace to the universe…)

“H-huh…”

In all likelihood, it’s a legend involving Sage-san, but how great is


bringing peace to the universe?

(According to legend, in a space war that broke out a long time ago,
the war ended due to the great giant’s active role. We were being
tormented by the attacks of the Dragonias, and we were praying for
help from the great giant.)

“I-I see…”

The story was so grand that I honestly couldn’t really feel it, but I
couldn’t help but agree that it was possible for Sage-san. Ouma-san
is also a bit dumbfounded while listening to Marl-san’s story.

“Ah, that guy… He’s not satisfied with just that world, and he’s been
rampaging in the outside world as well. Good grief, I could not have
said that about myself…”

As a result, Sage-san is bringing peace to the universe, but as Ouma-


san said, Sage-san was also quite free to do as he pleased.

When I unintentionally chuckled at Ouma-san’s words, Marl-san’s


eyes lit up.

(Now, Apostle-sama. As for what’s to come, I would love to have you


participate in the celebration of the universe being at peace!)

“Huh?”

Page | 210
(I’ve already notified the other planets, so the celebration can take
place at any time! It would be a great honor for us to continue the
festival for ten years!)

“Ten years?”

What kind of crazy period is that?

When I was startled by Marl-san’s words, he tilted his head curiously.

(Did I say something strange? You may think that ten years is a short
time when you consider that the universe has become peaceful, but
each of our fellow planets has its own various circumstances. And
there may be people who will follow in the footsteps of the
Dragonias…)

“I-it’s not that. I can’t stay here for ten years!”

If anything, summer vacation is almost over, and I have to prepare


for school, pick up Kagurazaka-san, and many other things to do.

But for some reason, Marl-san’s eyes widened.

(What are you talking about? I said the festival would be for ten
years, but I’m planning to have Apostle-sama live on this planet
permanently…)

“No, no, no, I can’t accept that!”

What’s going on that he even wants me to live here permanently?

When I was seriously troubled, Marl-san, with a difficult expression


on her face, began to converse with the other Amel people, calling
Merl-san in the middle of the conversation.

Meanwhile, I moved over to Iris-san and the others.

“W-what do you think will happen?”

Page | 211
“Hmm… I doubt they will force you to stay on this planet, but if they
do… you might have to give them a hard time.”

“Eehh?”

“You saved their lives, didn’t you?”

“You saved their lives, after all.”

As Ruri and Rill said, we originally came here because of Merl-san’s


request, but to have that happen to me is just too much!

But if we collided with the people of Amel, we wouldn’t have any


way to get home from here. We don’t have the skills to pilot a
spaceship, and that knight can only be used for three minutes.

In addition, the warp function has been used to get here, so it will
not be so easy to return.

…Could it be possible to use teleportation magic to bring everyone


back?

As I was thinking about this, Merl-san and the others came back,
probably having finished their discussion.

(Apostle-sama. I’m very sorry to hear this, but I understand that


Apostle-sama has his own circumstances, so I won’t ask you to do
anything. If you ever come to this planet again, please take your
time.)

“Y-yes, of course!”

I don’t have any means of transportation at the moment, but if I


could come back, I’d like to do some sightseeing next time.

When I was thinking like that, Marl-san nodded his head in


satisfaction.

Page | 212
(Thank you very much. Now, let my daughter, Merl, guide you to
Apostle-sama’s home planet again.)

(…Yes. I’ll send them back safely.)

Merl-san said this with a serious expression on her face, but for some
reason, her cheeks were strangely red. I wondered if something had
happened to her.

“What is it? Merl-san, what’s wrong?”

(N-no! It’s nothing! Let’s move out now!)

“Y-yes.”

I feel like I’ve been misled… Did something happen with Merl-san
during their discussion?

With these thoughts in mind, we boarded Merl-san’s spaceship once


again and departed the planet Amel as is.

Page | 213
Part 2

At the time when Yuuya was worried about the conflict with the
people of planet Amel, Merl had an anxious look on her face when
Marl called her over.

(Um, father… what are you going to do with Yuuya-san and the
others?)

(What do you mean by what am I going to do? Of course, we’re going


to make them stay here for the rest of their lives.)

(You can’t do that! They have their own lives to lead!)

(But how can we not entertain the Apostle who brought peace to the
universe?)

The other Amelians nodded in agreement with Marl’s words.

However, Merl stated with a resolute attitude.

(That’s only for our convenience. The reason we were able to obtain
the blueprint for the anti-astronomical annihilation weapon, and the
reason we were able to defeat the Dragonias, was because of the
goodwill of Yuuya-san and the others who helped us! And now
you’re trying to hurt them?)

(…They wouldn’t have any means of space travel anyway, would


they? If that’s the case, they’ll have no choice but to listen to us. And
we’re not trying to hurt them in any way, okay? I’m just trying to
arrange for them to live comfortably on this planet.)

(Forcing and threatening things just for our convenience like that is
just like the Dragonias, who were our enemies.)

(!)

Page | 214
Merl looked straight at the Amelians and told them so.

(I’ve been saved by them. Now it’s my turn to help them. If father
and the others want to force them to stay on this planet, I will take
the spaceship and send them back to their home planet!)

(…..)

Marl and Merl stared at each other for a while.

Then Marl let out a sigh and dropped his gaze.

(Hah… I wonder who she got that spirit from…)

(…..)

(…Okay, okay. If you insist, let’s send them home.)

(!)

(Marl-sama!)

(But!)

While controlling the surprised Amelians with his hand, Marl


continued.

(Merl. I have a mission for you.)

(Eh?)

Merl froze at the unexpected words. However, despite Merl, who


was frozen, Marl told her clearly.

(You must deepen your relationship with the Apostle and take his
genes.)

(What?)

Page | 215
At this unexpected statement, Merl was surprised, and at the same
time, her cheeks turned red.

(W-what do you mean by that…!)

(I mean exactly what I said. I’m sure the Apostle will eventually die of
old age. But if the genetic descendants of our planet Amel inherit the
Apostle’s genes, then that great giant will inevitably belong to Amel.
In addition, if you and the Apostle get to know each other, he might
change his mind and decide to move to this planet, which is your
home.)

(N-no way…)

(I’m telling you, if you disapprove of this, I’m not going to let them
leave this planet.)

Merl fell silent at Marl’s words.

At last, Merl nodded, feeling her face heat up as she thought back to
her previous actions with Yuuya.

(…I understand. I will somehow do my best to get to know Yuuya-san


better…)

(Umu. I’m counting on you.)

──Thus, a great deal of talk was going on in a place unknown to


Yuuya.

***

“We made it back safely…!”

Page | 216
We took Merl-san’s spaceship and came back to Earth without any
problems.

When we got off the spaceship, Iris-san stepped on the ground with
a strange feeling.

“I don’t know what to say; it feels weird to be on the ground, doesn’t


it?”

As Iris-san said, most of the time we were sailing in space, we were


either inside the ship or using magic as a foothold, so it felt strange
to have a ground we could walk on like this.

It was almost like being on a ship and then getting off. It seemed like
I was swaying even though I wasn’t…

I was also checking the footholds when Odis-san got off the
spaceship, snapping his neck.

“Phew… I’m so tired. I’m going home now.”

“Eeh? Master, are we leaving already?”

“Master, I think it’s too early to go home.”

Ruri and Rill protested, but Odis-san shook his head.

“I don’t care what you say; we’re leaving. Yuuya-dono and the others
have their own business to attend to. And so do Iris and the others.”

“Eh, me too?”

“…Just to be clear, have you explained to the rest of the Holy that
the Evil has been defeated?”

“Ah…”

(…We haven’t.)

Page | 217
At Odis-san’s suggestion, both Iris-san and Master Usagi averted
their gaze awkwardly.

Letting out a sigh at these two people, Odis-san continues.

“Hah… Oh well. We have to report on it, but there are still Evil Beasts
left in that world, aren’t there? Our work is not finished yet.”

“Hmm… Odis was right, but I don’t want to hear it from you, who’s
been living in seclusion all this time and didn’t even know about the
resurrection of Evil.”

“…I feel bad about that, too. That’s why from now on, as a Holy, I’m
going to fulfill my duties properly. However, there is a limit to how
much I can do on my own. I’m going to ask you two, Ruri and Rill, to
help me.”

“”Yes.””

“Ugh… I really want to stay in this world… with Yuuya-kun, but… it


can’t be helped…”

Iris-san seemed reluctant at the end, but Odis-san and Master Usagi
pulled her to the other world.

“Well then, Yuuya-dono, if you need anything else, please contact


me through Usagi or Iris.”

“See you soon, Brother Yuuya?”

“See you soon, Brother Yuuya!”

“Uu… Yuuya-kun! I’ll be back soon!”

(Let’s go, you idiot… Yuuya, I’ll see you soon!)

After saying goodbye to each other, everyone returned to the other


world.

Page | 218
After sending everyone off, I called out to Merl-san, who stayed
behind.

“Thank you, Merl-san, for taking us back here!”

(N-no. Yuuya-san and the others saved us, so this is only natural.)

With her cheeks slightly reddened, Merl-san replied and bowed her
head.

(Then, I’ll be going now.)

Page | 219
Page | 220
“Yes! You can come and visit us anytime!”

“Right! We’ll be waiting.”

“Woof!”

“Fugo!”

“Pii!”

“Hmph…”

As they greeted Merl-san, she smiled gently and then laughed


bitterly.

(Well… I had a little business on Earth, anyway… Hahaha.)

“Eh? Business?”

(Yes. But I’ll leave you here for now. See you soon!)

With that, Merl-san left.

A lot had happened since Merl-san’s arrival, but peace had finally
come to me.

***

Around the time Yuuya returned to Earth.

In the other world, the members of the cult that believes in Evil were
gathered at the [World’s Disposal Ground].

Page | 221
“──So you finally found out where he is?”

“Yes! As Founder-sama predicted, there seems to be a human living


in the [Great Devil’s Nest]!”

When one of the cult members replied to the man who was called
the founder, the other members of the cult around them began to
buzz.

“No way, he really is living in the [Great Devil’s Nest]…”

“But if it were not for that, our God would not have been defeated…”

“But who the hell is he?”

In the midst of all the speculation, the founder calmly asks the
believer who made the report.

“And did you get any more information about this person?”

“Yes! After investigating, it seems that there is no doubt that he is a


young man. However, it is doubtful that he is from this continent…”

“What do you mean by that?”

“According to my investigation, he has an unusual name: Yuuya


Tenjou…”

“I see… A name like that sounds unheard of in any of the countries


on this continent…”

“In fact, I wanted to find out what continent he was from, but even
the Alceria Kingdom, where the rumor originated, doesn’t seem to
know that much about him…”

“No, thank you for your efforts. What we need to know now is
whether or not any humans are living in the [Great Devil’s Nest].

Page | 222
And this time, it has become clear. Then there’s no need to hesitate
any longer.”

“But… if that person has defeated our God, will we be able to defeat
him on our own?”

In response to the believer’s words, the founder shook his head.

“No. If we fought normally, our defeat would be inevitable. But this


time, there is no need to fight. We have the magic of the abominable
Sage who once destroyed our God. If we use it, we can simply switch
the existence of that person and our God and accomplish our longing
without fighting him… The power of the Sage who destroyed our God
will be our power this time!”

“Oh…!”

The founder stood up vigorously and looked around at all of the


believers.

“Gentlemen! Our divine enemy is in the [Great Devil’s Nest]! That


land is extremely dangerous, and there is no guarantee that you will
be safe. But in order to extinguish the hated divine enemy and revive
our God, I ask you to entrust me with your lives!”

“For the sake of our God!”

A crazy light lit up in the eyes of all the believers present.

Seeing them, the founder nodded in satisfaction and raised his arms
high in the air.

“Let’s go! To eliminate our enemy… Yuuya Tenjou!”

──Thinking that peace had finally arrived, Yuuya was greeted with a
new trouble.

Page | 223
***

During a new movement of Evil believers in another world, Kaori was


called to the chairman’s office of the [Ousei Academy].

“You said you wanted to talk to me. What is it?”

“Oh. Actually, I wanted Kaori to take care of the new student again.”

“Eh, the new student?”

Kaori was surprised by the unexpected words from her father,


Tsukasa, but she quickly understood.

“I see… The summer vacation will soon be over, so it might be the


right time for a transfer student.”

“That’s why. So, since Kaori took care of Yuuya-kun and Yuti-san, I
wanted to ask you again. What do you think?”

“Yes, it’s fine!”

When Kaori nodded in response, Tsukasa also smiled as if relieved.

However, his expression soon changed to one of slight suspicion.

“Um, what’s wrong?”

“Hmm? Oh, I’m sorry. As Kaori said, it’s not particularly strange that
the transfer student happened after the summer vacation, but… my
memory is a little fuzzy. I don’t remember being consulted about or
giving permission for this new student.”

“Huh…”

Kaori tilted her head curiously at Tsukasa’s words.

The reason for this is that when a student from another school
moves into this academy, it is natural that the school’s president,
Tsukasa, should have been consulted for his approval, but Tsukasa
had no memory of such procedures.

However, since Tsukasa had the documents in his possession, he was


sure that he had confirmed this matter.

As the two of them puzzled over the strange phenomenon, Kaori


suddenly remembered and asked.

“What kind of person is the new student, by the way?”

“Oh, it’s this girl.”

Tsukasa handed her a document with a picture of the new student,


and Kaori checked it.

And Kaori was somewhat familiar with the picture.

“Huh? This person is…”

──The document showed the face of a girl with phosphorescent blue


hair.

Afterword

Thank you for picking up this book.

I’m Miko, the author.

In this ninth volume, many elements have popped up, and I myself
don’t really know why things turned out the way they did.

At first, I had no idea that the Sage’s legacy was hidden on a certain
planet in space, but then I found myself in this situation.

And this time, I was able to unveil Night’s awakening, but I didn’t
expect him to awaken at this time either. When I noticed it, he had
awakened.

As for the next volume, there are signs of disturbance in the


atmosphere again, but I can’t tell you what will happen in volume 10,
so I hope you will look forward to it.

Now, I would like to thank the editor in charge for his help again.

I’d like to thank Reine Kuwashima-sama for drawing the characters in


such a cool and cute way again.

I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the readers


who have been enjoying this series.

Thank you very much.

See you soon!
