Chapter 85: Despair and?Hope.
Translator: Mr.Nobody
“Amazing power.”
“The mountain that was 20k meters above the elevation of the sea was erased in an instant…”
Lucia’s and Laara’s surprised voices came.
“King!”
The voice of the messenger in the throne room reached my ears.
“What is it?”
“What was that attack just now? The current situation has made people go into panic including the nobles! At this rate the morale will drop too!”
Messengers from the other places were also reaching me. From the Gaius Fort, from the canyon and from the common front with allied country Ferdinand.
“The mountain in front of us was erased in an instant!”
“Our army is being shaken up! A part of the front has collapsed!”
“Luckily the blast didn’t give us a direct hit, but there are wounded people appearing!”
From their reports I could hear screams in the back.
“It’s a fear-inducing power, Masatsugu!”
“Truly~ A power of an Evil God~”
The girls were also shivering in front of the overwhelming power.
“But!”
Lucia began speaking like she was encouraging herself.
“We mustn’t lose! If we girls do our best then we’ll increase Master’s chances of winning! We’ll return here everything Master has done for us!”
To those grievous words of encouragement the other girls also.
“That’s right! I’ll freeze the Evil God or whatever he is since I’m filled with gratitude towards Masatsugu-sama!”
“Me too~ This is the time to show off my dignity as a Spirit Deity~ Yeah, I’m prepared to chip away a part of his power at the cost of my divinity!”
“I also have pride as Demon King so I’ll challenge him too. The Demon King also has suicide bomber as a last resort!”
In front of that overwhelming power they are determined to protect our orphanage.
While nodding and listening to them
“What foolish things are you talking about?”
I replied to them surprised.
““””What!?””””
The girls unequivocally raised their voices and tilted their heads.
“Don’t What me. Why do all of you have to do such dangerous things?”
I’m the orphanage’s director.
I brought Lucia and others so that they can be safe to the end.
That doesn’t change even now.
Because if they were near the throne or near the destruction of the mountain then I can’t protect them.
But, if they are near me then it’s a different thing.
In reality, the girls will be protected from Miyamoto or Evil God Miyamoto attacks. Direct or Indirect attacks doesn’t matter. The proof is even now when we’re facing the Evil God they safe and have no harm on them.
It’s not just defence when protecting against attacks.
Half-assed attacks will just show an opening for me.
More so, the opponent is wavering to attack me.
This is my preventive defense. My defence is absolute because of my boundless power. Attacks themselves can be said are ambivalent(self-contradictory).
“I haven’t brought you all along especially so you girls can fight.”
I said that and stepped forward.
“But, against that strong enemy even Master alone…”
“Naturally, my power alone might not be enough…”
After all it’s an Evil God.
I can understand from feeling the magical power.
That’s an absolute Evil God.
Besides, if there is someone without absolute virtue then they won’t be a match for.
That kind of being it is.
Whether the power is up or below is beyond understanding.
There’s conceptual debates of whether this rule is being governed by virtue or vice.
It has already passed the dimension where just a mere human can intervene.
This is battle will decide the fate of stars.
“Fate of stare…”
“That’s right. I can’t involved all of you in such a battle.”
It’s only natural.
“But then, Master will fight alone again…”
Lucia was making a sad face.
The rest of the girls were also worried.
I shook my head.
“Even so, you’re wrong.”
“Eh?”
The voices of the girls overlapped each other.
That’s right, it’s different.
The girls are misunderstanding on why I have to fight.
Because the world will be destroyed? Because humanity will be destroyed?
Those things have no connection with me.
That guy still hasn’t said anything about what he’ll do with the orphanage.
“Certainly…”
“Did you understand? It’s not the job of an orphanage director to fight the Evil God. My job is to protect the orphanage and you girls to the end.”
“So, you won’t do anything?”
I shook my head again.
“That’s also wrong. It has been decided, Lucia. Who’s the who should battle the Evil God? When that god tries to destroy the world at that time which god should stop him?”
Lucia was staring blankly.
Miyamoto at the same time also raised his voice.
“The good God!?”
I laughed at the confused Evil God.
“Naturally, that’s correct. Even now the Good God is looking down on you.”
“What!?”
Miyamoto was surprised and looked towards the sky.
Naturally, it was still there.
That’s right, the Moon which was created by Lunar Drop just eerily silently shined.
“Isn’t the Moon just there?”
At those words I just simple exhaled.
“Miyamoto, as I thought despite becoming an Evil God you’re still small fry.”
“What!?”
Miyamoto got enraged from my words.
But there’s a reason for my words. I didn’t say them so I can provoke him.
“It seems, the evil god has given you incomplete knowledge. If that wasn’t so, then you wouldn’t have let your foolish thoughts out.”
“Did you say foolish!?”
I calmly nodded to his screams.
“It’s obvious. Because the good god Ortiz is the moon.”
“Ha?”
Miyamoto’s foolish voice echoed on the ice.
“Ha? What the hell are you talking about?”
I began explaining to Miyamoto.
“It seems you don’t know. I created a picture book for the sake of managing the orphanage. In doing that I put legends and myths in it. Amongst the stories there was the most orthodox type. There’s this one? For 1000 days the good god Ortiz fought with the Evil God. The Evil God at bottom of the earth. But, Ortiz was sealed in a different place.”
“So what’s up with that? If it was written in a different place then it doesn’t mean it’s the moon…”
Miyamoto held his breath midway talking.
As expected he noticed.
“There’s no such place other than this star. If so then there’s the sun but there’s the moon too. But, sealing in the sun is not practical. Because it’s too bright. It’s not a joke. The magic of sealing depends on the characteristics of the place. The ideal place is where it can be as deep and cold as possible. In that case, there’s nothing but the moon.”
“Did you read myths and just conjecture that?”
“Naturally. Why else would I use the Lunar Drop when I can move at the speed of light as my enemy?”
“!?”
Miyamoto’s eyes were open wide in surprise.
“That’s right. I did not use my trump card to fight you. I expected this situation so I had to use my trump card. It takes time to invoke it. I wasn’t certain if the Evil God will come or not. Honestly speaking, I thought the general Whikram will appear. But, surprisingly it was the Evil God.”
“Hee, I see.”
The Evil God Miyamoto smiled.
“In that case, it will be as you wish. It will be a conclusion of the Good God and Evil God. Now, Ortiz show yourself!”
“Well, that’s impossible.”
“Ha?”
Miyamoto had a dumbfounded expression.
