Chapter 211: Invitation and Response (2/2)

Even if we take into account that this world counts more the quality than the quantity, it is honestly incredible that the deht

“If the de the denial of the Goddess and her retribution…Well, it wouldn’t go so far, but they should at least be able to seek a better treat the very social syste in” (Hibiki)

“They could have gone into extinction if they hadn’t done that” (Makoto)

“You really take the side of de that made me realize just how severe the Goddess’ discrimination was, after all Then, the actions of the de” (Makoto)

“Yeah, their raising of an ar unavoidable” (Hibiki)

“Then—!” (Makoto)

“Thatbefore it turned out that way To better that scorned environment they had even if for a bit, they should have tried toar for toothe demon race, it was practically as if the Goddess o away and cornered the for too much?” (Makoto)

“I have taken a look at the history of demons and hyumans Of course, this was from the historical records of hyuh Just that, there haven’t been much events where the demons have acted in a positive way towards hyumans And within those sle one that has continued for long” (Hibiki)

“History The history between hyuh details of it

“For the de ion, it is also an opponent that has better individual battle power, you know? Fro sane” (Hibiki)

“…Right” (Makoto)

Because of the blessing of the Goddess, the deic power side as well, so there was no good part in it

The more I think about it, the ood fight against the hyu war forever They werethe discriht with the hyued their way of dealing with things” (Hibiki)

“…”

“They should have had several opportunities to The chance to enter within hyumans just like the demi-humans” (Hibiki)

“Eh?” (Makoto)

“If it wereopponent and I a about it with our power, I would join thee them from the inside I would create an opportunity to enter, and then,from there Isn’t that one of the few choices that the minority has in order to survive?” (Hibiki)

“Are you saying that they should live amidst hyu line from a slave position, it is possible to crawl their way up But they took ar them all out, but if we don’t corner them to that very limit to show an example, no one would be able to accept it At the very least, ould have to eli their country, their ar with them; every one of them” (Hibiki)

“Accept it, you say Isn’t that also because of the warped teachings of the Goddess?” (Makoto)

If only she hadn’t tainted this world with her stupid teachings, this wouldn’t have turned out this way

The existence of that Goddess is the main reason for this problem, so they probably have to confront her at some point in time

In that case, even if it will so, isn’t it a lot better to just elie way of thinking?

“The warped teachings of the Goddess huh But that is the religion that all the world follows, you know Isn’t that the sa ar that they should resign to their fate? That the teachings of the Goddess can’t be helped, and it also can’t be helped that the demon race is rendered impossible to stand back up? That because they didn’t conform with those conditions quickly and beco, it can’t be helped that they are receiving a worse treatment than that? Is that what you think, Senpai?” (Makoto)

I am kind of pissed here

Nooppressed, they would want to make a complain or two

To expect those kind of people to calood way for the race to survive, so unable to do that?

To be able to act co that anyone could do

Thinking that way, I unconsciously spoke to Senpai in a harsh tone

“That’s right” (Hibiki)

“!!”

It is not like I thought Senpai would ht she would at least show hesitation

The instant answer of Senpai blocked o but, the demon race and the hyumans are already in a situation where it is already too late Without a closure for this war, neither of the races will be able to advance That’s how athered between both sides Of course, I who has been fighting alongside Lis, their dependence to her, the discrimination towards demi-humans; all these problems are problems that can only be dealt with after this war is over This one point is ie anymore No one is able to” (Hibiki)

“No one…” (Makoto)

Is that true?

If it is the Kuzunoha Company that has a connection with both, wouldn’t it be able to work out sos change a lot if I just had that Bug reflect?

“No one Even for Makoto, that’s impossible The hyumans that had their farow inside of thes that point towards them It is the same for the demons that had their family taken away by hyumans This chain of losses…can’t be erased” (Hibiki)

Senpai made a pained expression for an instant

The current Senpai is as cold as ice, and she is speaking with an indifferent expression, so that one instant remained in my ard has become a lot easier to live in, but it is certainly true that it would be hard to erase that her the amount of deaths there will be after all

“Hatred and sadness It is not so that easily disappears I…can understand that” (Makoto)

As I thought, I should do so quick about that Goddess

Senpai seems to be worried about the later, but in the end, if the Goddess ree

I will have to revise

“The de majority which are the hyumans, and the Goddess This revolution that terrorists have raised which the majority of the people in this world didn’t wish for, this madness of a war, I will end it as soon as possible Makoto-kun, I will say it again Lend us your power, please” (Hibiki)

Senpai lowers her head deeply

But e

Actually, I think that Senpai is over-thinking this in a way too realistic of a manner

In this world that the Goddess does whatever she wants, I don’t feel like they would be able to change their sense of worth even if they took their tiain as well I refuse” (Makoto)

“Let me say this frankly, the stance that you Kuzunoha Coe to the deoods to both sides in a war, is an act of afor a death sentence, you know? Is the Kuzunoha Coain profit from it?” (Hibiki)

“No I also think that it would be better if the war didn’t exist Just that, I think that the whole reason for this is that Goddess, and if only we could , there would be as many methods born from it” (Makoto)

“What do you mean? Even if the Goddess is the cause, what does Makoto-kun plan on doing?” (Hibiki)

“It is not wrong that the policy of the Kuzunoha Company is to welcome anyone that needs it, but…I personally think it would be better to drag down that Goddess once” (Makoto)

“Drag down the Goddess…” (Hibiki)

Senpai makes a short mutter and turned speechless

“It is certainly true that the world will fall into a teicians can use It ht turn into an End of the Century situation between hyumans and demi-humans, but even with that, I think that the best plan is to kick that wo on” (Makoto)

“…How?” (Hibiki)

“Well, by force” (Makoto)

“By force, you say The opponent is a God you know? Even if, for argument’s sake, you were to overpower her, would you be able to substitute for her?!” (Hibiki)

“Overpower? I don’t know about that, but I don’t intend to become the replacement of her” (Makoto)

“Then you will simply eliminate a God?” (Hibiki)

Senpai held her head and shook it ai her

I was thinking that it would be fine to just leave her a bit further from half-dead

I am still alive after all, and the reason why I

“No well, she is not the only God out there, so as we do our stuff, a substitute will come, probably” (Makoto)

“…You speak as if you have e place with a shady individual though” (Hibiki)

“How to say it, I have met with a God-sama that seems to be an acquaintance of that Goddess” (Makoto)

“…That’s why you are saying that you will be changing that Goddess’ way of thinking by force? Without thinking at all about the repercussions that it can cause” (Hibiki)

“If sos settle down” (Makoto)

“You are really indifferent at the crisis of hyumans You don’t discriminate demi-humans, but you discriminate hyumans huh” (Hibiki)

?!!

No no!

I a hyu demi-humans or hyu that Then this is serious” (Hibiki)

“What do you mean?” (Makoto)

“Fro your thoughts that it can’t be helped since the hyu with the Goddess” (Hibiki)

“Well, it is true that the hyuht?” (Makoto)

That’s not discriive a cold reception because of that, isn’t that considered discri ones that overwhelm this world with their numbers Why would the word discrimination apply for the done by society’s strong ones over the weak ones?

“And so what?” (Hibiki)

“Eh?”

“Are you saying that even if someone were to discriazes that the hyumans direct towards demi-humans is peculiar, but have you noticed? Makoto-kun, at tiazes towards hyuard as well” (Hibiki)

“Ugh…” (Makoto)

If she brings out gazes, I can’t say I am conscious of it

But if I a actions towards the strong, I would say it is not

“Hey Makoto-kun, in the structure of this world, you and I are considered outsiders, right? In that case, not taking into account the past history and corounds, isn’t that how a person that doesn’t discriminate would act? If there’s a person that’s troubled in front of you, shouldn’t you be stretching out your hand nountil now and their social standing? For hyumans, they have done whatever they have wanted, so they should suck it up; for demi-humans, they are pitiful, so help them Isn’t that what you would call discrimination towards hyu the de shouldering this In the first place, there’s no way I would be able to look at them with eyes like those of a Saint” (Makoto)

“That’s why You end up thinking that way because you are thinking with our common sense This is not japan, this is a parallel world In the common sense of this world, hyumans and demi-humans are this way In the first place, the deainst that coht about a war, you know?” (Hibiki)

“…That’s a mistaken common sense” (Makoto)

“As a japanese, that is Your basis for your cold reception towards hyu that’s natural co criticized for it Even in hyumans, when in situations between other hyumans, where you take out the attitude towards demi-humans and their attachment to beauty, they are people that properly hate discris that shouldn’t be taken out, it won’t e their root cognition, there’s the need for time, which would have to be after the war is over But if there’s Makoto-kun ants to do that by force against the Goddess, it would all end up cruht lose, and it is okay for Senpai to just continue doing war I will be hts Even if it’s Senpai, I won’t be affir it” (Makoto)

“If you were to lose, that would be…” (Hibiki)

Senpai places both arms on the handrail and bends her body

“…There’s plenty chance for it to happen Even if she is like that, she is still a God after all” (Makoto)

Words leaked out from Senpai who had her face hidden, a mutter of expectation for me to lose

From the conversation until now, I could tell that it would be a pleasant develophtly shocked, but it can’t be helped

Senpai see the Goddess after all

Even so, I a forth to the world like Senpai said

I refusea world like this, and I don’t want to beco such pointless things, it is inal world with Too back and forth to Asora

“I can’t iface towards s like being too far away, the scale being tooway tooabout those, but this is the first time I have felt that no matter what I do, I won’t be able to surpass an individual Even if I went at full power in my current self” (Hibiki)

The full power of the current Senpai huh

As I thought, maybe she has obtained some power like that of Sakai

Even if that’s not the case, there’s definitely so, you know It was like ‘as expected of a hero’” (Makoto)

“Even though you were not serious at all Heh~, then, between er?” (Hibiki)

“…If I were to fight the Demon Lord, I would be able to answer you” (Makoto)

“Then, what about Io, White One?” (Hibiki)

“…With that strong attack power, ht with that person, it would depend on hoell you can surpass that regeneration power of his after all

But if you were to try and go until he is unable to regenerate, it would turn into an incredible endurance battle

I think there would be the need to finish the fight in one go

Senpai has faced painful experiences with hiht?

If I reainst hiht be able to defeat hierous one

Because that iant

“Receiving the input of the White One, I feel uy…is soainst no matter what, after all” (Hibiki)

“I see” (Makoto)

Afterlike destiny is born, maybe

I don’t have much of those

Aside from that Goddess

“Hm”

Senpai releases the handrail, and stretches her body upright

Maybe because of her experience in kendo, Senpai’s posture is good

“So that means Kuzunoha Coht? Okay, I got it” (Hibiki)

“Hah?” (Makoto)

I-Is that okay?

That helps h

No matter howafter all

“On top of that, I have learned that you are a troublesoonistic towards the Goddess Well, about that, I will keep it a secret for you though” (Hibiki)

“…Thanks” (Makoto)

“The Goddess probably hasn’t heard of it either after all With the capital having been raided, leaving aside the blessing and divine protection, there has been practically no reaction fro is a mystery” (Hibiki)

No reaction?

In other words, she hasn’t answered the calls of the Church or the heroes?

The attack to the capital…I see, it is around the time when that Goddess ree her unable to move?

I have not been told the details of it, so…

“We have done a strange talk as well, but yeah Tentatively speaking, I would like to eliminate the influence and distortion of the Goddess, and having you know that is plenty enough for today” (Hibiki)

“It sounds like you feel it will be in a pretty far future though” (Makoto)

A long time after we die, that is

Maybe that’s why I felt Senpai so distant

The objectives that Senpai shoulders are not things that she always tries to resolve herself

She resolves them bit by bit, and if it isn’t possible with her, she places that job to the future generation

“We are a race that can transfer their feelings, you know By doing that, we are able to turn ti by yourself in your own era can bring about pointless pain and can distort your objective” (Hibiki)

“What you have decided to do yourself should be acco splendid Time can fade eneration will hold the sas as you after all” (Makoto)

“So you won’t think aboutas a whole…you won’t believe in this world’s society as you act huh” (Hibiki)

“Just like how Senpai taughtfeelings towards hyumans I think that’s what itunable to accept it Even if Senpai tells e, I just can’t Sorry” (Makoto)

“…It isn’t soht after understanding it It isn’t soize for either Fro on you as a customer of yours, Makoto-kun” (Hibiki)

“Yes…here as well” (Makoto)

We look close, but Senpai and I are distant

I didn’t want to know of it, but I ended up knowing it

This is different froust I felt towards To like this to happen

Senpai accepts the current world of that Goddess

On top of that, she is trying to tell the world about this sense of discoe it slowly

She is aware that it will take an enor about those kind of things, I a that it is natural for me to want to have the Goddess reflect as soon as possible and have the hyumans and demi-hu about how

From this world and this Goddess’ perspective…I probably do look like a fiendish terrorist…

Even so, if I can simply find a method to return to my world in a desirable way, I think I would act

For the sake of fighting once with the Goddess

I wonder, if that ti Senpai?

I don’t think a fight against that person and me will come to a conclusion, but if possible, I would want to avoid having Senpai point a sword at me
