First Part Ending
「How is it?」
Aur who at last could no longer bear it anymore, asked Thena who had continued meditation for about a quarter period of time.
「Do not rush me. Peering into the distant future is not an easy feat, even for me」
Thena replied thus with an open eye snappingly.
「So, what is the outcome」
「……The fate of that girl’s death has been completely removed at least for the foreseeable future」
「Thank goodness—」
Mari stroke her chest down gently in relief at Thena’s prophecy.
Although she says Melizand won’t die even if she got possessed, but Mari’s spiritual power won’t last long. And above all else, dying is freaking painful to death. Honestly speaking he has no intention of doing it again.
However Aur and Thena still had a gloomy expression even after the good news.
「What is the problem? Lord Aur」
「I believe it wasn’t only Mari’s fate that I asked you to examine」
In fact he could very well say, that one is the trivial matter.
「Yea……」
Thena opened her mouth hesitantly.
「As far as I can see, Aur. You cannot escape your ruin. It doesn’t necessarily mean death, but it could also be a future where even death would be a luxury.
「Eeehh!?」
「As I thought……」
The reason she excessively took a while was probably because she lengthily probed the outcome that changed the future to the extent that she could do. If there was nothing and the peaceful and uneventful days would continue, she would have just come out and say it.
「The cause……or rather, the target is Sofia huh?」
「Yea」
Now that she knows that the existence known as the Demon Lord in this continent is homogeneous with a god, he understands why Sakuya was surprised after looking at Sofia even without asking.
Gods are perfect beings from the moment they were born.
Even if they happen to undergo changes, they will never evolve naturally.
Just like mountains and rivers.
A juvenile god. An evolving god.
Just how dangerous and frightening it is……Putting it in another way, how fascinating such existence is, seeing Tatsuki’s attitude it is pretty conspicuous.
She only instinctively desires to devour strong powers, but there are likely ambitious ones who will instead try to make a move for grabs. What a strange irony that Aur who already fulfilled his wishes and lost his ambitions is the one who possesses it.
「Yamata no Orochi was the river that straddles the mountain range. Do you know what that means?」
「National border right」
Thena nodded.
Borders between countries are often vague concepts. It’s not lines drawn on the ground. However Rivers and mountains are exactly those lines drawn on the ground.
「Because they exists, gods of foreign countries didn’t dare lay their hands on this country. Yamata no orochi is an unreasonable, god of calamity with no territory. Even if you go through the trouble and defeat it, there is not much for compensation in this area. However――――」
「It will produce a result where the wall will disappear. is what you’re saying huh……but, why do those outside gods you mentioned know about Sofia?」
「What is that in front of you」
Thena with an astounded expression by Aur’s question, pointed at her fox ears.
「Even with my own powers, you could know the things that have happened till now. A more superior knowledgeable god is sure be outside right」
「How troublesome」
While sighing deeply, Aur switchover his awareness.
Thinking about it carefully, the situation is not as bad as it sounds. At least, it will be much more troublesome if those guys attacked our headquarters while ignorant of their existences.
「Well, though you say I will be ruined, your prophecies often miss」
「Well, I am only a Celestial Fox Spirit that has only lived for a thousand years after all」
Thena responds in a sour tone. It is the result of Logan and Melizand revealing their age.
「Papa……」
「Don’t worry」
Aur lifted Sofia, who was looking up at him in unease.
「No matter what happens, I will protect you. You are my child afterall」
「……Hn」
Whether she understands or not, Sofia nodded with hardly a word.
「Tatsuki too, will protect you!」
Tatsuki who leaped out of the water with a splash shouted such.
「We are allies afterall」
Whether it is because she really likes her room which was built inside the sea, Tatsuki professes that point at every opportunity she gets.
「I guess it can’t be helped. I cannot allow this land to be devastated. I will also offer my assistance」
As if to rival against that, Sakuya brush her light crimson-colored hair up.
「It is also a wife’s responsibilty to support her husband」
And so she muttered while blushing with her cheeks flaring up.
「Legal wife, me. Newcomer, back off」
For some reason, Lilu was telling off Sakuya in brief words.
「Uhmm, I am fine with just being a mistress」
With a sidelong glance at the two who are competing and pressing their abundant breasts against each other, Yutu secretly whispered into Aur’s ear.
「Master’s legal wives are three, and ten concubines. As a mistress……then that makes you the two hundred and fifty second person」
「That much!?」
While adding Yutu’s name at the end of the list in a composed manner, Spina nonchalantly professed 「Though I am a legal wife」.
「It seems more likely to increase with this amount」
While shrewdly occupying Aur’s side, the last of the legal wives, Yunis said so carefreely.
「Though you were only supposed to be on reconnaissance」
While speaking, Aur stroke Sofia’s hair.
「Papa?」
Since I now understand the circumstances of the New World, we should return to the headquarters to prepare our forces.
As soon as he looked into his daughter’s eyes from above, those words vanished like mist mysteriously.
At the same time, the old Demon Lord once again decided to challenge the world again.
