Chapter 378: The Rise of the shi+eld Hero
“What the hell is this?”
I unintentionally raise a laugh
What I got my hands on and read was a book titled Rock Valley’s Heroic Legend
Right now, the store I’m in is the Rock Valley Book Store
It appears to be a ic shop, but they sell normal books too
“What’s wrong?”
While I stand there reading, a child who looks like Elena comes up and talks to me
I silently point to the page and furrow my brow
“It’s quite a terrible story”
“There are a few things that diverge from reality here”
The person Glass’s waiting for is a woman
Most of the monsters are attributed as concepts of the whole race I feel sorry for the actual ones
“What’s wrong?”
“Rafu~?”
Firo and Raph-chan look at ive a bitter smile
“Huys’ existences are in doubt, it seems”
“Eh…?”
It’s mean to call them a collection of monsters with the same name
Why can’t they just see her as a Filo Rial?
“But it’s been a while since I’ve coed”
I walk out of the book store and look at the sky
A giant tree towers over the surroundings
So that’s Rock Valley’s special God tree, is it?
Since it ritten that Kiel was protecting it… I strain my eyes and try to focus on it
… Yep It’s the crepe tree
“Raphtalia, that tree is disgusting, so go level it to the ground Kiel isn’t here anymore, so it’s fine”
“I don’t want to And if we do that, it’ll start an uproar!”
“I’ll bet But as I thought, I can’t get used to that tree”
And when I watch the traffic on the road, I see quite a few fa around
After defeating the bitch Goddess, when the Spirits pressed
Soments I divided parts of me between this world and the modern one Raphtalia, Atlas, and I, ould be able to use our Godly powers to protect the world, went on a journey following the Spirits’ words
After that, a lot has happened
It’s because the rules vary by the world
We exist as a spiritual force to protect worlds fro Gods
Because of that, we’ve battled in as many places as there are stars in the sky
The rule that eight worlds had to combine for the God to descend existed in some worlds, and did not in others
But without corresponding to that rule, well, we pretty much descended to the absolute limit the world would permit
Once we figured out just where the God was pulling the strings, ould bring hi else
And with the repetition of battles like that, the months and years passed before I knew it
That frag myself on a holiday
The one who took up pers every day, but in the end, it seems he had a fun life
And now, he’s returned to me
After he died, it seems much has happened in this world
But unfair calaain
In all the worlds I resolved ain
Me being in this world after so long is like a well-deserved holiday
I mean, with all that’s happened, I’m tired
Arc even said I could take a break if I wanted to
That cat occasionally saves us, and is occasionally saved by us
There are plenty of worlds where it would have been dangerous if he wasn’t there
And there are plenty of worlds that would have been in danger without us
While si style is on another level
He specializes in killing Gods, and he’s no good in anything else
Instead of getting into a war of attrition between Gods, he has a convenient ability where he just kills them
But in exchange, bluntly, if it was someone from the world, even a baby could beat him
It seeic like that
Well, if it has to do with punching, I guess I can’t beat a baby either
In exchange, Raphtalia fights for h
Ah, I digressed
Anyways, as a God, I’ve devoted
Should I call this my main body?
“Is Rock Valley a monarchy? Or a republic? An empire? Each history book seems to differ a bit”
“I bet it’s had a long history Firo, do you know anything about that?”
“Hmm… when Firo ith Mel-chan, it was a monarchy”
Fumu… Firo’s memory ability is a bit dubious, but I’ll rely on it
Ah, that’s right
We’ve paid a visit to this world after all this time
When I was relying on the ment to walk the streets, Firo and Raph-chan sensed my presence and appeared
Their existences were doubted, but they’re right here
But… Raphshi+ld… the Raph race has gotten quite the grand name
Ah, I spotted one… it’s a tanuki-esque bear
It’s pulling a carriage and letting children ride on its back
It looks like it’s treated as a sociable, docile monster
But it doesn’t appear to have much battle prowess
This is like a Filo Rial that wasn’t raised by Heroes, I guess
I also sense that Gaelion’s still here
I guess I’ll drop by later
Right now, I’m in the country, Rock Valley
I’m not really sure if it’s an empire or a republic
But it looks like it’s a peaceful country
People rese care of the crepe tree
The crepes that grow fro your hand into the air, you can eat them
Well, all thatover the world
Around it, a large castle town spreads out
It faces the sea, and it was once… Raphtalia’s birthplace
Right now, it functions as a sort of port city
“Firo”
“What~?”
“You’re in human shape, but you won’t take up your Filo Rial form?”
Well, I guess it’ll cause an uproar if she does it here
I endary bird
“Well, you see, this place is a bit narrow”
Is that so?
I guess she’s grown quite big
“Yeah, Raph-chan is the same”
“Rafu~”
When I reunited with Raph-chan, I was shocked
He was standing in quite a remote place
The entire Raph-race careet us, and ere led to a tanuki the size of a mountain
It took a while for me to notice it was Raph-chan
Right now, he’s transformed to the same size as e first met
“Firo, you see Firo finally found ain Don’t leave me alone this time”
“Ah, yes, yes”
Does Firo even realize just how much time has passed since then?
She doesn’t seem any different than before
Well, her essence is getting closer to that of a God’s, and I do think she’ll be able to breach the wall around the world
She’s become able to clad herself in fire as she flies, and when a Bird of fire greeted us as we approached the world, I was surprised
I think that form’s one of her transformations, but I wonder
“Rafu~”
“Raph-chan says he wants to protect this world from the shadows, so he’ll stay home”
“I see, I see Good boy, Raph-chan Unlike some bird who doesn’t mature no matter how many centuries pass”
