Chapter 2 – Evil God Statue – Part 3 (1/2)

Part 3 – The Trampled World

Three days had passed since the Evil God Statue had begun its rae

In that tireat many nations had fallen into pande was the size of the da whatever it liked

If you think about it from the perspective of civilians without context, it’s little wonder they’d be frightened out of their minds

Actually I’htened even with the context

『It just tradom to the east!』

The Pope was coordinating in the third floor of the Evil God Te information from countless subordinates

Sitting in the same room, each time a bit of info came in I shrank further into my seat

In the centre of the large rooe table On top of it was a map of the world, centred on the Thearchy We actually were kind of in the centre of the world though

Various notes about the movements of the Evil God Statue were filled in on top of it According to the infor north-east from our country

As for the report I heard earlier, thankfully it had just grazed the castle The only serious dae was to the ramparts

I let out a sigh of relief for the lack of casualties

『It just passed through the mountains to the north!』

Apparently it had changed directions, and haddown all of the ain there were casualties I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to feel thankful or not At the very least though, I was feeling relieved that it wasaway from population centres

It wasn’t clear if the lack of casualties was intentional on its part or if it was si coincidence, but as clear was that we had to stop it before anything serious did happen

『The Holy Statue istowards the Demon Territory!』

…Oh boy

If you ignored the size, the statue was the spitting i that if you kneho I was, and then you saw that damned statue, even an idiot would realise that I was somehow involved

And the Demon Territory had plenty of people who knew me If they were to see the statue…

Then, just as I expected, a black light suddenly flashed before my eyes, with a visual in the middle

Soic channel

Expecting as to come next, I immediately clamped my hands on both my ears

”Anri-sama?”

Tena and the other people in the rooht that if they had the ti their ears as well

『OOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIII!』

roared the voice from the transmission

A number of people crouched doith their ears covered as the voice seemed to shake the rooe

The blurry visual began to co there was just who I expected A friend who had once lived in this country with us, and was now living in the Demon Territory, Leonora

Who would have thought we’d be seeing each other so soon after she left

『I bet that statue was your doing, wasn’t it! What the hell are you even doing!?』

It couldn’t be helped that she realised She had already knoere building a bronze statue, and that one in her country right noas obviously a statue of me, so

And well, the one who enchanted the statue was obviously me too, so she had pretty much nailed it

Still, I didn’t want her to think this was a weird plot or anything

”Yes, I am the cause, but I didn’t ,” I ht in the eyes

It felt like it had been a while since we had last looked at each other like this It was only possible this tih the screen

We continued to stare at each other for a while, but she seemed to believe me after a while She knew the kind of person I was, after all, and that it wasn’t my intention

Having said that though, not beingto my intentions

Asking me to stop it was pointless

Leonora let out a sigh as she considered the trouble her future held

”How bad is it over there?”

『Thankfully, no dae to the castle and towns It trampled sos calmed down The problem is…』

Problem?

I unconsciously held my breath as I waited for her to continue

『With a statue of that size loitering around, it’s sure to catch attention My entire country has been sent into a panic』

I’m really sorry about that

『They ca to bed Since then I’ve been putting out fires all over』
