Episode 55
「Can you see me?」
The accident stopped for a while.
how to react
Intuitively, I understood that this girl in front of me was no mere ‘fantasy’.
In other words, a spirit?
No, it’s not that simple.
It was clear that it was much higher than that.
‘Am I the only one aware?’
Neither the Pope nor Siegfried seem to be aware of the existence of the girl.
It’s not another existence, and the fact that these two can’t even grasp the girl’s existence means that this girl is much hotter than that.
But is that possible?
If it’s an existence that even these two can’t recognize in the church country….
[Huh.]
At that time, the set on top of my shoulder laughed as if it was ridiculous.
The girl also laughed.
And, as if prepared, the girl lightly snapped her fingers.
OK.
“under.”
everything has stopped
Not only the Pope who looked at me with eyes full of questions, but even Siegfried.
It’s me, the set, and the girl that move…. only these three
“Hmmm hmm.”
The girl slowly raised herself up with an expression of interest.
The white coat she was wearing swayed in the wind.
I realized in that moment.
What is this girl’s true identity?
In fact, this is a problem that you can understand without thinking deeply.
the girl asked.
“Let me ask you a question. Who am I really?」
What was on his lips was a joke.
The girl asked, looking at me with a mischievous smile.
Of course, my answer was fixed from the beginning.
“Hekau.”
At the point when the old god Asar disappeared, he is now a guardian who supports this world as the only god.
“You are a wise Hekau.”
[Correct answer.]
The fox-like eyes curved yo-yo-yo.
* * *
Playful look and attitude.
I see something lighter than the majesty of a god.
Red makeup was painted around the eyes, and teardrop-shaped patterns were drawn on both sides of the eyes.
Her shiny hair, as if woven with silver thread, was tied in two pigtails and hung on her shoulders, and the pigtails had decorations reminiscent of animal ears.
Rather than being a god….
‘It’s like a set.’
[Didn’t you think of something rude?]
“I didn’t.”
With a nonchalant expression on his face, he answered without pretense.
At my words, Set looked at me with a disapproving expression, but soon turned his head away.
“Fufufu set…You’ve lost so much insignificance?」
[…] …What do you mean?]
Set looked at her with a puzzled expression.
A Hekau who doesn’t break his smiley face.
She opened her chest and introduced herself to me.
“Yes, it is as you said! I am the father of magic and half of the great Asar…!”
[Bussing.]
Set dismissed.
[It must have been half, not half. It was only yesterday that I always ran into him and dragged it out….]
「Stop it!」
Hekau hit the set as it was.
The set flattened with a kek sound.
「Hmm hmm whatever-♪」
Leaving behind the flattened set, Hekau looked at me.
“nice to meet you. I am his successor.”
“…heir?”
“You inherited part of Asar. I’ll probably keep getting it in the future. Then heir,”
she said, extending her hand to me.
At that moment, my body was transparent and I could see the flow of mana.
autonomous circulation.
Everything I had built so far was transparent.
“It’s interesting. It’s a mana circulation ability that transcends human innate abilities…. It wouldn’t be too much of a burden, but they mobilized bizarre numbers with the storm again.”
“It’s an excellent means of survival.”
“In some cases, I might be able to kill you.”
“I can control that much. It’s not difficult.”
Hekau’s fox-like eyes narrowed at my words.
[Hmm.]
She slowly examines me.
Looking at her, I thought of a few things in my head.
She is definitely a hekau.
It is rare to have such a presence that can perform the ‘miracle’ of freezing time so easily.
However.
‘Why did you show up now?’
i know the future
Even if the future I saw will already change a lot, one fact will not change.
God didn’t help us.
How many prayers were followed and how much blood was shed.
The Hecau did not intervene until the end and we were defeated.
okay.
you didn’t take care of us
“The way you look at me is quite disrespectful. Even in words…They don’t seem to be in awe of me at all.”
“You’re the one standing by while the World Tree dries to death and the Great Devil expands its power. Rather, isn’t it strange to be in awe?”
At this point, I don’t know why she showed up to me when she had never given a revelation.
However, I don’t feel the awe that humans should hear when they see God.
‘It’s so strange that I’m not at all like myself.’
Rather, even cynicism comes out.
At my words, she widened her eyes in surprise.
Then, he strains his eyes and looks at me again.
And then.
“Ah.”
He laughed as if it was funny.
“It’s interesting. fun. You’re half hanging on me?」
“What are you saying?”
“Then I don’t understand. How is it that a mere human has attracted my interest, can contact me, and can’t read the details?”
One thing came to mind instantly.
10 circles.
It’s very brief, but I have a precedent of reaching that level.
What she’s saying now….
‘Does it mean that the 10th circle is over the realm of a god?’
In other words, I’ve experienced the 10th circle once, so I can’t confirm what she is about me.
…Although nothing is certain.
“Oh, just in case, if you’re angry because I didn’t respond to the revelation, then there’s a reason?” “
…reason?”
“Yeah, why!”
She nodded lightly and smiled broadly.
Then he said
“I don’t know the exact reason, but my words aren’t getting through.”
“…Can’t you tell?”
“Yes,”
she smiled bitterly.
It’s like nailing it again.
“I’m called God by my children, and I’m actually close to him, but I’m not perfect.”
“You’re a god. Anyway, one such thing…“
”…It’s been a while since we’ve talked about it, so let’s put off the explanation until later.”
She shrugged and went on.
“Anyway, for some reason, my voice stopped reaching the children. I even stopped believing in the prophecies I had given as the next best thing.”
“Hmm…”
If you dare to bring up such a story in front of me, it means that you have something you want.
“What do you want from me?”
“Find out what the cause is. You’re the only human who can communicate with me at this point,”
Hekau added with a broad smile.
“It’s better if you solve that problem as a bonus!”
* * *
Opened his eyes.
Time began to flow again, and the frozen scenery also moved.
The eyes of the Pope and Siegfried were focused on me.
slowly.
I recall the story I heard from Hekau just now.
Then I closed my eyes once more.
“…Mikhail.”
The pope looked at me nervously and asked again.
“What was the revelation?”
timing.
At that moment, I remembered the words I heard from Hekau.
-Find out what’s causing it.
A problem that even God is not sure about.
Perhaps the demon god is directly involved in the problem.
Not even knowing the cause is more serious than you think.
It’s not another being, it’s God.
then.
‘I have to solve it.’
as quickly as possible.
If so, what should be done first?
‘bait.’
I don’t know if it bites or not, but it’s better to spray it as much as possible.
“I will tell you.”
I looked straight at the Pope and said something about ‘revelation’.
“God has said that he is very disappointed in the current state of affairs, His Holiness.”
“…!”
My words opened the pope’s eyes wide.
And that wasn’t all.
Siegfried also glared at me without hiding his anger.
“How majestic!”
“Are you rude?”
The words “You’re shutting up” came to my throat, but I held back.
“Can Sir Siegfried be held accountable for daring to call the Revelation ‘absurd’?”
“…!”
“The revelation I received is ruthless without even checking whether it is true or false. haha.”
I glared at him.
“Be a little tight. I’m going to die of anxiety anyway.”
“What…?!”
The things I went through before returning came to mind one after another.
Hecau did not appear until the end.
Divine power existed.
Therefore, since it has divine power, Hekau will also be in good health.
Everyone thought so.
But it wasn’t.
No matter how much I was, it was difficult to predict things about God.
It’s not particularly strange that I didn’t figure it out.
However, if that makes you feel good, isn’t it?
“also.”
I spoke again.
“You also said about the two girls Your Holiness had a long time ago.”
That moment.
wriggling
The eyes of the pope who was listening to me moved for a moment.
I didn’t miss that look.
Obvious agitation.
“I grabbed one, but the other fell. The meaning will also not be correct.”
“…!”
He packaged his expression roughly as if it were a revelation.
It’s an ambiguous word, but if it was the Pope, he would have understood it properly.
Of course, Hekau didn’t make this revelation, but it didn’t matter.
If you make it true, it will eventually become a revelation.
‘It’s not even a story I don’t know.’
There will be something catchy.
two children.
The chosen side and the non-chosen side.
This is a problem that the pope himself was ashamed of and constantly blamed himself for.
I will try to find meaning and improve myself.
“If you don’t believe in the revelation, I have nothing more to say.”
“…I don’t know. one.”
The pope’s face was stained with confusion.
The expression of not knowing how to react to the ‘revelation’ I said.
“Mikhail-sama is a person with the qualifications of a hero. It would not be wise to listen to what such a person said.”
“thank you.”
now that’s it
The Pope will not just ignore the revelation I said, but will think about it constantly.
That alone will change.
“His Holiness, no matter how qualified you are as a warrior, revelation is so simple…”
“Sir Siegfried.”
“…yes?”
“His Holiness is struggling on his own, so let’s close the mouth.”
I quietly glared at Siegfried.
If that bastard had one more word here, he would turn his jaw away.
I will fly that nasty jawline regardless of means and methods.
I glared at him with eyes filled with such conviction.
Suddenly, he averted his gaze.
Unfortunately.
[You only rush at that child with the momentum to kill.]
Of course.
Even if you look at it like that, the guy who has a lot of stake in the world harpoon.
You have to kill your spirit from time to time.
Otherwise, I’m sure you’ll run amok and cause trouble.
You can be sure. That kid is still a kid.
“…Let the story end here. Please do not forget that I am also expecting a lot from you two.”
After clearing up some of his confused thoughts, the pope decided to end the conversation.
Before leaving the room like that.
“Mikhail, by any chance…”
For a moment the Pope held me.
For a moment, his eyes fluttered.
However, is it because he realized belatedly that he was the head of a huge religious nation called Gyoguk?
He immediately shook his head.
“…No no.”
“it’s okay.”
I said looking at the Pope like that.
I guessed what he was trying to say, so I smiled.
“…yes?”
“You must be pointing out something about revelation. So it doesn’t matter.”
I said with confidence.
“Everything will flow as it is.”
Even if not.
i will make that
“…haha.”
At my words, the pope laughed helplessly.
Then, with sincerity, he told me.
“I really hope that’s the case.”
And with that said.
The conversation with the pope is over.
Great mage who transcends by regression
