Chapter 7.13 (2/2)

-Well, that’s because they’re perverts, not tricksters.

“That’s right.”

The people who just peep into women’s baths are perverts. Those who peep into the locker rooms are also perverts. Right. They were all just perverts.

“But I am called a trickster.”

I am not called a pervert. Even women call me a trickster behind my back.

“That’s what a trickster is. They are intelligent, elaborate, and cunning. They create chaos. They always play tricks, and make things harder for everyone. They are the symbols of change and rebellion.”

Right. Because of this.

“Doesn’t it only make sense that I manage to win in a situation like this?”

Loki did not smile at my insane grin.

-Child, you are one who calls himself a trickster to me, who is the only one in the heavenly realm with such a t.i.tle. To you, I will teach you one thing.

“What is it?”

I wasn’t at all surprised at Loki’s sudden turn of seriousness. In fact, it just made my grin wider.

-Child, it seems that you humans call the strongest form of using a G.o.d’s power as “possession.” But the thing is, we are already in that state. We enter that state once we form a contract with you. Possession really isn’t much. It’s just something that you think of as an amazing thing, which limits you from using it. In fact, it’s just something that you can use as long as you wish to use it. So in other words.

Loki made a grin that was just like mine.

-If you truly are the one who is worthy of being called a trickster, then use it. Use my power to the fullest.

When I heard, no, saw his smile, I understood. I understood the foundation of Loki’s power, and the immenseness of it itself.

The scythe of chaos appeared in my hand. The boots of speed appeared on my feet. The mask of the joker appeared on my face.

There was no need to wish for strength. After all, it was mine from the start.

There was no need to wish for weapons. After all, it was mine from the beginning.

It didn’t matter who the enemy was. He was Loki, and Loki was him.

“Now then, shall we dance?”

-Now then, shall we dance?

When the two became one, a legend began.
