Chapter 412 - : Cooperation, and the Phrases’ General (2/2)
I was called out by Ende via phone and airls, Mel, Nei and Rize are also here The interior is pretty siht about decorations There’s not even a single vase
The three ruler-class girls are showing off their healthy appetite again; they’ve been os and daifukus It’s not like they’re eating quickly or anything, but their hands aren’t stopping at all except for when they’re drinking tea I wonder what’s their food bill looking like this roup”
Mel, who drank some tea and took a breather, placed a teacup on the table in front of me Your expression is serious, but there’s sauce froo earlier on your face, you know…
“We can sense the presences of the variants who are our forathered at the place you call Eisengard in this world; a them, we felt a special presence”
“A special presence…? The evil God?”
I’ve told Ende as well as the three ruler-class girls about the Gods in general as well as the evil God AlthoughPoison], I wonder if Mel and the others can sense the evil God from here?
“No, we cannot sense the existence of the one you call the evil God too What we sensed was a new ruler-class… Or rather, a ruler-class we remember”
A new ruler-class…? Is it the one I saw through the crack in space the last tiroup when it passed through the gap between diard, huh Still, what does she mean by “a ruler-class we remember”…
“Yura probably called him over fros to the one called the strongest in our world, the Phrase’s General, Zeno”
“The Phrase’s general… Zeno?”
“The world, Phrasia, that we live in is a harsh place There are ic beasts you have here, and also invasions from other species There’s a special branch of ruler-class who have co all those obstacles… Let’s see, I believe we can call them battle-class And the top of those battle-classes is General Zeno Excluding Mel-sama’s close aides like myself or Rize, you can consider Yura to be the top of the civil officials, and Zeno to be the top of the military officers”
Nei answered With daifuku powder all around her ?”
“Very He’s also the older brother of Gira While he’s not as crude as Gira, it wouldn’t be a stretch to call him the same kind of battle maniac Gira is”
Gira… So he was one of those battle-classes too, eh He did see from the bottom of his soul So they’re similar to each other, huh
“General Zeno… Zeno has apparently brought over several of his subordinate ruler-classes as well I don’t recall their presences, so theyworlds”
“Tch The evil God and Yura are troublesoh already, and now there’s h I can forget having a shoith the evil God directly anytiht We’ll be the one to stop Zeno Touya-san should focus on defeating the evil God instead”
Mel spoke towards ht When I looked up, Nei and Rize, as well as Ende nodded slightly atwith a Phrase to us fellow Phrases We’ll get rid of this soured connection between us with this battle To begin with, all of this can be said to be the result of n] of the Phrases, I cannot allow their wanton acts to continue any longer”
If you say so like that, myself and the Gods, who let the subordinate God escape, created the trigger for the evil God’s creation, and directly caused the birth of the variants, would be in a very tough position, wouldn’t we You aren’t indirectly accusing us, are you?
Well, in any case, I’ths for that Ah, right I have to talk to they?”
“Aah We don’t knoill happen at the actual battle, e? That Yura guy seems pretty smart too So, just in case as insurance…”
I explained to Ende’s group about the little secret I spoke about earlier in the world conference
“Eh? Can you do so like that?”
“Only temporarily, but yes There’s no proble like that ever comes to pass, you know”
“If that really is possible, then I feel like you can stop whatever Yura tries to throw at us Still, how should I say this…”
“Illogical”
Following Nei’s comment as she folded her arms and had an expression that found it hard to accept, Rize ain lent out the two sacred treasure swords to Nei and Rize Against variants, there is the risk of being mutated by them, after all
“And here, this one’s yours, Ende”
“Eh, what, you even have equipauntlets froht be insensitive to show son] and two ht
“It’s the sa It should be easier for you to deal with the variants this way”
“I’ht, but oh well I’ll gladly receive these”
Ende took the translucent gauntlets into his hands The design is coauntlets, on a side note If they’re the saive them a pair look kind of vibe and that’d piss me off, so
“That reainst that evil God or whatever?”
“Nope For this battle, we have to do it by ourselves Although they will help us defend the ‘Sacred Tree’ at least Also, they’ll definitely be spectating the battle Be careful, ok? If you didn’t fight well, afterwards there’s definitely going to be Takeru ojii’s training course fro…”
“Your personality is terrible, Touya!”
Ende yelled with slight tears in his eyes I ot my own circumstances to deal with too If Ende doesn’t work hard, it’ll be troublesouy from earlier too, I can’t allow our plans to be stopped this close to the final stage
Bastet should be reporting back to over to Eisengard
I had wanted to send Moroha nee-san or Karina nee-san over at first, but as expected, even if the poison around the “Sacred Tree” had been purified, it still feels bad to send them to a place that’s surrounded by poison in a dozen o as well, but I’m uneasy about possible side effects that may occur if I head over before the area’s purified ht before the decisive battle
In the beginning, we’ll send in people on’t be heavily affected; Norn, Nia, Robert… The [Crown] holders should be a good bet They can fight decently well even without the Over Gears Well, they’ll only be the teuard until it’s safe to send Moroha nee-san and the others there
After leaving Ende’s house, I first contacted the pumpkin pants prince, Robert, and asked for his cooperation He’s a weird person, but his personality is si’s done about that fashi+on sense and irritatingly high tension of his, he would be the perfect prince, too; it’s a shame
For Norn, I’ll ask her sister, Dr Elka to talk to her Since we’re taking care of her elder sister, although she ht not be passionate about it, she should still be able to accept
The probleroup, the [Red Cats], are obviously not doing their main job in this country at the moment I won’t permit them to commit crimes in this country, even if it’s a chivalrous act
As such, currently they’re doing adventurer works They’ve apparently found quite soeons
They’re sooleane, so it should be fine
“If it’s Nia alone then this would’ve been easy, but as long as Est-san’s there, there’s no way I can make them work for free, is there…”
I just hope the price at the end is as cheap as possible In order to conduct the negotiation with the group (or rather, with Est-san), I headed towards the inn “Silver Moon”, which has turned into their regular residence
