Chapter 227: Source of Naivety (1/2)

Chapter 227: Source of Naivety

It is already the fourth time, so honestly, there’s no freshness in it anymore

For now, the most I am is relieved that the one in front of me is not Root

There was no assurance that it wouldn’t happen even if I didn’t have the intentions of doing it myself after all

On the contrary, there are tis but it doesn’t turn out the way I want it to

Serwhale-san is good to the point that I want to s both of us have to consider, and couldn’t reach the point of a pact

Beco a follower means that, at the very least, he will be separated from his race

That person is a Neptune, and he is currently the pillar of Asora’s sea

It would be one thing if he were to just act together with me temporarily, but to forhtly bad

Instead of establishi+ng a standing for Serwhale-san with a pact, he said that it would be fine for him to just act as the representative of the sea residents and obey orders simply as one of the residents of Asora

In ter, he who is the leader of the Neptunes, can even do so him into my folloould actually be a waste

There’s no Superior Dragon who es the sea

And from what I have heard, the Neptunes existed since ancient ti

The Neptunes are a race that makes me wonder if they are actually the replaceon for the sea

“Makoto-saic circle that was drawn for the sake of the pact ritual, Touda talked toout huh

We are enveloped by a red light and are waiting for that light to settle down

Even if we call it a ritual, it is not as if the concerned party will be doing anything

That’s thanks to Tos promptly

In the first time, Tomoe was the one who did the process, and in the time with Mio, I was unconscious

At the time with shi+ki, Tos, so I didn’t have anything to do with that

I truly haven’t done anything inthat it has been a while since I have increased the numbers of my followers” (Makoto)

“In order to not have Makoto-saret that decision, I promise to support you in private and public matters to the best of my abilities” (Touda)

“Thanks” (Makoto)

I feel like I ae here

…

Even so, every single one of Touda’s words didn’t register as sincere inside ofdistrustful?

If we for drastic, and I do think that it would be impossible to attempt any vicious plans, but…

I probably can’t be relieved just yet

I a this to a certain extent

Of course, I a force in our defenses

Doubts

…That’s right, doubts

Since I have noticed it ht that is enveloping me and Touda had appeared as a wall between the space where Touda and I were facing each other

The pact is finally over

Signs that it has finished without any problems, and proceeded as always

Now then, what shape will Touda take?

She looks huepact, I don’t think her hue

I aht at my side settled down before hers

“…”

I silently wait for the light at Touda’s side to settle down

I a her Sakura

It may be simplistic, but she is in a shi+nto shrine where there’s cherry blosso the pact in the day of the cherry blossoht that name would be fine

“Is this… it, but the naked Touda that was in a crouching position, stood up andis…

Touda casually stood up and looked at her lifted araze at her li

There’s not e of their appearance, but Touda looked quite older than irl in her mid-twenties

And yet, her body had turned into that of someone around 10 years old

Based on the indicator that I have created from the standards of this world with beautiful outward appearances, she is without doubt around 10 years old

How to say it, this is a faht

Even when I look at the naked Touda right froitated

“How are you feeling? Are there any proble excellent I didn’t thinkpact It is a pity thatMakoto-sah” (Touda)

She is in a ruling pact after all

Even if she had ht with her full strength

Tomoe and the others always co that: ‘If I could bring out er’

Touda, who said this devilishly while laughing, probably feels like that too

“Rejuvenation There’s also the case of shi+ki, so it isn’t soe” (Tomoe)

“He turned fro your looks into a brat, there shouldn’t beTouda with cohtly happy

Well, that’s understandable

Aside froe of her outward appearance…there’s her hair

The color of her black hair had changed into a dark ereen

Like the color of a forest

But her specialty is fire, and she served a God of japan

And yet, green

Her black hair still looked more connected to her abilities, but this one is unexpected

“As expected, she didn’t deviate from her human form” (shi+ki)

shi+ki see the same as me He looks at Touda with serious eyes as he mutters

Touda confir a few times, she mutters a chant and puts on her shrine e quickly?

How convenient

“Well then, Makoto-saht Touda’s new name will be: Sa—” (Makoto)

“?”

I was about to say Sakura, but for some reason, I stopped

Because a different name suddenly flashed in me

What should I do?

No

Sakura is no good

I was already feeling unco a naood

“Waka?” (Tomoe)

“Waka-sama?” (Mio)

To, orry

“Sorry Your new name will be: Tamaki” (Makoto)

“Taards” (Makoto)

Why did the nale of h

“Yes Makoto-sama, senpais, from today on, my name will be Tamaki Please take care of me” (Tamaki)

Touda lowers her head deeply -no, Tamaki

My new follower

However, she is clearly a folloith a different implication to that of Tomoe and the others

“…Then, Tomoe I leave the rest to you” (Makoto)

“Yes, I will properly teach her the rules of Asora We will be using her in the future, so I will teach her about the Mist Gate as well—” (Tomoe)

“About that, it is fine to just teach her how to move around Asora with it” (Makoto)

“What do you , I just wave my hand and turn my back

“I will leave for a bit If the cherry blossoht, please let theht” (Makoto)

Telling them this, I disappear from the place

I teleport toto the wasteland

Teleporting to the place where there was a base once called Zenno, I flew to a certain direction

Maybe because there are a lot of mamonos around here that can feel to a certain extent if it is an opponent they can handle, there were no encounters, and in less than an hour, I arrived at my objective

“If I remember correctly, it was around here” (Makoto)

As far as one can see, there’s reddish-brown ground with no change in sight

The place whereto the point of being funny

And, even in this border of the world, I was able to reach here in a short a andabout it, time has passed in the blink of an eye huh” (Makoto)

Ato this parallel world, I was attacked by To called Asora, was attacked by Mio…

Thinking so e, I have reached this point without changing my foundations

…That’s what I intended

I have…changed

Before I noticed, I had changed

At the very least, I have beco from theforback, and as a result, I have taken lives, which is sohts of only that extent, it ht have been normal

But the current me is different

I now think that battles to the death are as nor

At first, it was only towards people that directed killing intent towards me

A little bit in the past, all the people that had the will of fighting and were standing in the battlefield

And now, almost all the lives that have been born

I have ended up thinking that it is only natural to kill and be killed

Hyu alive after all

Adventurers being controlled by greed and getting killed byeveryone in it; I have begun thinking that they are the sah school student, I wonder if I thought of lives this lightly
