Chapter 88: Even a crime wouldnt be scary if we did it together. (2/2)

Lina summarized the harmful incident she went through in the past to Sara who was still making the same astonishing face. The time when she got betrayed by Metron and locked up in theZero worldwith me and the black dragon and how Metron attempted to conceal what happened. Saras expression changed many times while Lina was explaining her past experience, however, she still continued to listen until the very end.

And thats the reason behind my approval for knocking out Metron-sama. I see

When Lina finished her story, Sara closed her eyes and contemplated. She was most likely shocked from realizing that the God she served could do something like that. It was indeed something to be contemplated. As I was talking to myself, Sara had finally opened her eyes after coming up with a decision. She then said in a non-serious manner.

I understand your feeling of wanting to knock him out.

It was a carefree yet unwavering decision. It made me doubt the fact that she was trying to stop me only a while ago. I couldnt hide my stunned expression after witnessing her instant change of mind.

Is it okay? Of course its okay! I mean, who wouldnt want to go give him a punch in the face if they go through something like that. If it were me, Id personally go and knock him with my hammer.

As she changed the target of her complaints, she remembered the traps in the island and started getting irritated all by herself while adding Aah! Im getting pissed off too. What an easy-going angel. As I was feeling impressed by her incredibly short temper, she suddenly made an uneasy face.

Ah! But if you go punch him now, Id be in trouble.

She even muttered reduction at the end. As I thought, the urge of wanting Metron to get punched cant win against the tough social circumstances. However, since I had already expected this argument to come up, I reassured her with a confident face.

Thats not a problem. Ive already prepared a plan for that part. A plan? Yeah. If I were to hit Metron, not only you but even Lina would end up in trouble. Thats why I already thought of a plan for it beforehand.

Hearing my confident response, Sara lets out a sigh of relief.

Thats fine then. Alright, now without any further delay Wait! Desu.

Reassuring Sara, I walked towards the magic circle again and this time, it was Meru who got in my way.

I cant let you get through, Desu.

She then opened her arms just like Sara and blocked my path. I could feel her strong sense of duty towards Metron as she did her best to protect this place. When I started thinking of a way to deal with Meru who was bravely guarding the magic circle, I heard Saras voice, stabbing her again with the harsh truth.

I told you, didnt I? Metron-sama had already forgotten about you. You dont know yet if that is true or not, Desu.

Despite denying it, Saras words seemed to have already reached her heart. She looked clearly less confident than before, but that didnt stop her from resisting.

Besides, that magic circle cant function without my consent, so it would be useless to even try using it.

Eh? Really? I revealed a surprised expression after hearing those crucial words leaving Merus mouth.

That circle was created from the magic I was bestowed from my master, Desu. Neither this circle nor this building would function without that magic, Desu. What if I tried activating it with my magic? It wont activate, Desu.

Oh my god! I didnt even dream of such an unforeseen situation to take place at this point. This means that the only one here whos able to activate the teleportation circle is Meru. I honestly flustered from knowing this new fact, but shortly after, I recalled Merus reaction to Saras arguments.

Hey, arent you curious? Dont you want to know what Metron thinks of you? What do you mean, Desu?

Succeeding in pulling her attention, I revealed a faint, mischievous grin to the little girl who took the bait despite her vigilance.

How about you go with me to see Metron?

Bonus

Abandoning responsibility.

Lina, you really have changed. You think so? Yes, I do. Rather, why didnt you go punch him personally after what he did to you? Well, I do feel that urge sometimes, but still cant bring myself to do something as daring. Thats the only part of you that didnt change. Thats not the only reason Whats the other reason? Id get fired if I did it. You have a point. Thats why I shifted the responsibility to Kamiya Yato. Thats a brilliant decision. That way you can just feign ignorance when something happens.

Hey you two, lets have a little talk here. Yato
