Chapter 1: What sort of hobby is the extermination of the human race?
TL: Graze
ED: Graze
The ability of instant death isn’t soso those lines
This is because instant death is already feasible when there’s a large difference of ability between two people
The saic applies to many situationsIf someone wants to kill a faraway opponent, there are ait
In other words, the ability to cause instant death isn’t exclusive to Takatou Yogiri
It’s likely that there are several people in this world who are capable of instantly killing HarutoInstant death alone is certainly a threat, but that isn’t the iri’s ability
That said, if there was any problem in particular, it would be his ability to sense when he’s being targeted by so intent
Indeed, that was the real issue hereIn order to deal with Yogiri, one would first need to find a way to deal with this ability
However, the rules behind his ability to sense killing intent are just too vagueIf Haruto was to go and challenge that vagueness, he’d simply end up as a corpse the moment he pressed the issue too far
First of all, it was necessary to investigate to what extent he’s capable of sensing killing intentOtherwise, it’d be iize on what to do next
Norardless of whether or not someone was able to understand his ability, they would end up with no choice but to give up in despair
However, Haruto has the Consultant classThe ireat, but this class has a pretty unusual ability
The ability of proble
The ability isn’t as siiven to youInstead, it grants him the ability to refer to information that will ultimately be necessary to solve the problem
The tione to the forest outside of townThis was for the purpose of escaping the ability-sealing powers of the king; to use his ability in the best condition possible
He earing a business suit in order to raise the power of the Consultant class’s abilities and holding one of the torches that the class had been using for their exhibitions into hellIt was a stick-like tool that absorbs the souls froht, a relatively codom
When Haruto arrived at an opening in the forest, he stabbed the base of the torch into one of the nearby trees and secured the location
“AhI wonder if it’s alright for me to coroup, and the groups are supposed to be separated by gender…”
Beside Haruto was a girl dressed in a cheerleader uniform, Yui Ōtani
“There aren’t any restrictions when it co as you’re okay with it, there aren’t any issues, right?”
“Yeah…”
Yui’s face turned red
Haruto knows that his physical appearance irls, and he was skilled at using that quality effectively in order to get what he wants
Haruto only wanted to ht that it’d be fine to be affectionate with her afterward if that’s what she’s hoping for
“Well then, I ondering if you’d be willing to use your ability to help”
“AlrightI can do my best”
Yui started to danceWhile it’s strange to see so a one-ht, the dance is needed in order to bring out the effect of her skill even more, so it can’t be helped
Her ability as a cheerleader really was quite noteworthyShe was able to dance perfectly, without any embarrassment, even when she’s in a situation where she’s alone and there’s no
After a while, Yui finished her dance and wiped the sweat from her brow
Haruto applauded in response, praising her efforts
“Thank youEvery ti you are at that”
“I-I guess so…”
“Then, please hold on for a moment”
Haruto used his proble flashy like YuiAll he needed to do was push up his glasses by the brier
And while it’s a bit ridiculous, the skill’s effectiveness rises when you perfor actionTherefore, he couldn’t afford to be shy
A white light suddenly filled Haruto’s eyes
Through the use of the system, he accessed the archive that retains this world’s information
There was an innumerable amount of information accumulated insideThe sheer quantity of information was so enor for if he searched for it blindlyHowever, this here the probleoes through everything and filters out anything that isn’t related to your problem
The only thing necessary was to find inforiri
While it’s necessary to knohat he’s done since co to this world, it was difficult to extract all the important information all at onceHe had to narrow it down the bare bones of the matter
Haruto decided to focus on situations where Yogiri would have perceived so intent
He extracted the condensed infor understandableThen, the scenes where Yogiri has used his poere displayed to him like a movie
First, there was a scene with Hanakawa¹ Hanakawa had been preparing to use a chant-lessintent and warned hiht hand, ready to release it theHanakawa’s offensive spells aren’t a big deal, but they’re thened by the system
Next, there was the Dominator, Yuuki TachibanaHe died aliriIn which case, it raises the question of whether or not he can sense killing intent if someone only asks, not orders, someone else to kill himHowever, if that was true, it would follow that both he and shi+on would be dead by now due to shi+on asking hiiriOr is it instead that both of theiri?
Even though he needed to confirood position to do soThe Dominator simply had special circumstances
The connection between the Dominator and the slave is absolute; one where the Dominator takes full control of the slave’s soulThey’re forced to unconditionally follow any of their ht of as an extension of the Dominator
The e a to surround and kill Yogiri
It was treated as though Yuuki hiiri didn’t resolve the situation by sisInstead, he killed the proble targetted by his servant’s killing intent
The situation was similar for the Devil at the Sword Saint’s towerThearound had the potential to harh it anyway, hethe miasushi+ng forth from the DevilHe must have decided that the only way to fundamentally solve the problem was to just kill the Devil

There were other scenes as well, such as killing thieves and bandits along their journey, without even taking regard for their appearance, siic
Haruto was able to co these scenesThat sih for hihts needed to be accompanied by some form of plan or action
Yogiri considers actions and events that put hiiri has been killing who and what he’s killing in order to eliminate the possibility that he’ll die
The liht about this, and his consciousness was returned to reality
“Haruto-kun, are you okay?”
Yui asked anxiously
He had reached his ti connected to the archive, so he looked like he was in painAt soround
“YeahI overdid it a little bit, but it isn’t that big of a deal”
He answered her while standing back up
“I need to do an experiment…”
Haruto muttered idly
There was a possibility that he oes about this poorly
However, despite the fact that he has this information now, he still doesn’t have the whole pictureIn order to deal with Takatou Yogiri, it’s absolutely critical that he determines exactly to what extent he’s able to sense other people’s killing intent
Hanakaas dumbfounded
This was hell, and the Devil should’ve been sealed in the lowest layer, so they had come this way in order to break the seal and let the Devil freeHowever, standing right in front of the ear to ear
“Um… May I please be permitted to ask a question?”
“That should be fine”
The Devil, Mana, passively respondedEven though she was a Devil, the feeling she gave off wasn’t, in any way, an overpowering oneEven though she was as beautiful as a Goddess, apart froirl who had just barely reached adulthood
“Uhm, aren’t you supposed to be sealed?”
“That’s rightI was sealed by norance is immensely painful for meHowever, because my Onii-sama is the one who sealed , or else he never would have sealed me in the first place”
“But then how did you reach all the way here?”
“Well, of courseMy Onii-sama is a kind manThere’s no way he would ever tie me up and pack me awayThat’s why he purposefully applied a loose seal so that I’d eventually be able to escape on my own”
“…Is that really the case?”
Hanekawa asked Lute in a low voice
“No… My lord had intended to seal her away in the deep depths of the earth, so he used the full force of his power to do so…”
“No… My lord had intended to seal her away in the deep depths of the earth, so he used the full force of his power to do so…”
Lute’s expression stiffened as he answeredFortunately, Mana was ecstatically recalling memories of her older brother, so it doesn’t seem like she overheard their comments
“Uh, so does thatout of here? Shall we embark for the surface and uh… not destroy humanity?”
Even though it may not have been necessary to ask, Hanakawa dared to anyway
“There’s no way that I could leave without Onii-saet in the way of Onii-sama’s hobby?”
Mana spoke as though she was saying soed back a few steps, and Lute did the same
“…What sort of hobby is the extermination of the human race? …Uhm, this Onii-sama, how should I put it, he’s, you know… He seems like the type of person who mustn’t be set free into the world…”
Hanakawa spoke to Lute in a low voice againDue to the fact that he was together with Lute, Hanakawa h, it see less ie
“I think that’s probably why…”
“Uhm, what is the connection between Lute-dono and this Mandono?”
“…We have no direct relationshi+pShe should only think ofof My Lord, and to put it bluntly, I don’t have that much interest in her either”
“If that’s the extent of your relationshi+p, Lute-dono has quite the sense of courage”
“By the way”
Mana suddenly spoke up, startling both Hanakawa and Lute
“Y-Yes? What can I do for you?”
“The fact that you smell of Onii-saht?
“YesI have brought the key to your seal”
Lute took a key out and respectfully presented it to her
“Ah! Oh ot ahead of myself thereOf course, please use that key as instructed by Onii-sama, or otherwise, decide how to use it based on your own discretion”
That said, Mana put her hands on the wall of the cave
The wall flexibly began to distort, and eventually, a gaping cavity appeared around where her hands had been
“What is this?”
“I eway to the innermost layer”
“That was unreasonably easy!”
“The seal is affixed to the door at the bottommost layerFeel free to do as you please with it”
“…Whatdoes that door really even have at this point…? Also, aren’t you going against your Onii-sa that seal in the first place?”
“are you an idiot!? You! Why are you asking such disrespectful questions one after another!?”
“…Whatdoes that door really even have at this point…? Also, aren’t you going against your Onii-sa that seal in the first place?”
“are you an idiot!? You! Why are you asking such disrespectful questions one after another!?”
“Based on Onii-sama’s intentions, is it acceptable for me to move around the layers of hell? If I wasn’t allowed to, I don’t understand why he would bother creating this placeThere’s no way he would have been alright with locking ht space like thatThat’s why he made it like this insteadMy Onii-sama is a kind man, after all”
Lute was another story, but Mana didn’t seem to take any offense to Hanakawa’s questions
After she finished answering, Mana walked into the cavity she created in the wall of the cave
“We could run away now…”
“That’s the only thing you ever have on your mind… besides, it’s impossible”
Lute came to a decision and stepped forth into the cavity, Hanakawa reluctantly following after
Their surroundings brightened up immediatelyHanakawa reflexively moved to shi+eld his eyes
“This is…”
