Chapter 51 (1/2)
51 Rebellion
My days in <yatagarasu> have finally come to an end
Donna and Beck froone to do their sacred task
Sacred task―― in other words, killing people
After sending off the two children on their journey, I finally resolved myself and raised the beacon for the rebellion
It will be executed on the day of the Mass
It see place concurrently It wasn’t just Donna and Beck; quite a number of emissaries will be away from the Nest and will miss the Mass this time
On the other hand, many of the executives will remain at the Nest in order to attend the Mass
Even in the unlikely event that the eht properly because the majority of them will be under the influence of Mescaline
My co for the day of the Mass
On the day of the Mass, I distributed the antidote to both Mescaline and Repchipa Grass to my companions, confirmed the plan over and over, and then went to the chapel
Instead of the usual atmosphere, there was instead a nervous atmosphere inside the chapel
In the beginning, I thought it was just that my companions and I were nervous because of the act we had planned, but so Gazaine, also appeared unusually tense
Today is a special Mass, and the wine containing Mescaline was poured into a goblet that was larger than usual
I handed out a larger dose of the antidote than as required so I think it should be fine, but I had cold sweat
Recently, there hasn’t been a single calm place in the Nest
It’s as though they were preparing for as about to happen
I don’t believe it, but… has our scheme been leaked out…?
However, no ns of such things
Since I can’t postpone the plan because of a simple fear, we resolved ourselves and decided to take action today
But it seeroundless fears
Ian, the Archbishop was suddenly su Gazaine’s sermon
I try [Appraisal] just in case, but there was no doubt that this was produced by Gazaine’s [Illusion Magic]
The illusion floated there with its eyes closed for a fewa word
It coughed once, fostering an air of hesitation A the emissaries who had drunk the wine (those ere not of Orochi’s faction), some crouched down in a bad mood
After giving us plenty of suspense, the illusion slowly started spinning a tale
《Dear emissaries… The time has finally come
It’s tiround with our hands…》
Those ords used to incite a rising to action
I see, so the reason the executives stayed was this
Nevertheless, isn’t it good that they were gathering everyone together even though itthe other sacred tasks?
In this case, there’s no need to revise the plan
While I was nodding to myself, Archbishop Glutometsa’s illusion had disappeared, replaced by the appearance of Gazaine who proceeded to preach―― trying to appeal them to rise to action
“――When those who are currently outside return… ill go usurp a kingdom”
At Gazaine’s declaration, the emissaries ere present became noisy
“Our target is Sanadom’s royal capital, Monocchanus
At the same time, ill have the troops who have infiltrated the royal capital execute their task of spreading propaganda towards the citizens of the capital
assassinate the anyone behind”
Someone cleared their throat, and it sounded awfully loud
“It’s the guidance of the Evil God
Fellow believers, will you come with us?”
At Gazaine’s words, the chapel fell into silence
Then,
I said, walking out from the chapel
There were ten-odd adults, as well as several children
“…What did you say?”
Gazain asked with a grim face
“I said I don’t want to, Leader”
“You bastard, what are you saying to your leader! ――《Reconsider》!”
Ju out from the flank was one of the executives――His name is Gazlow if I’m not mistaken――but he spoke the keyword to the collar of “loyalty”
However――
Click
“…I already kne to release this a long tio”
I said, lazily pointing at the released collar with er
“What…!”
Gazaine talks instead of the speechless Gazlow
“…that okay, Orochi”
“What is it?”
“This is a clear revolt
Your position is one with no turning back
――You’re okay with that?”
“Yeah
There’s no need to stick with the delusions of this religious assassination organisation any further… is what I’”
At aze towards the e behind me
“I did think you alone would try to killof this?
Where and how did you change your mind?
No, I should say, how could you change your minds?”
“Certainly, the variousbut a nuisance
Though they were also wounded by your deception
Even though I said that Gods are but phantoms in reality, they didn’t listen
If they can live on without sacrificing any more people, they would even believe in an inconceivable God, is what they thought
Namo Amitabha Buddhaya!”
“”Namo Amitabha Buddhaya!!””
The e behind me――No, the ex-emissaries all chanted the God’s name in unison
The Evil God’s chapel shi+vered like they received an electric shock from the loud voices
“You, just what did you do!?”
Gazaine screaers at me
I grinned, saying,
“――I didn’t do anything Everything was the doing of Buddha”
“Stoparound!”
“Besides, what could a brat like me do?
I’m no more than an ordinary 11-month-old baby you can find anywhere”
“As if such an 11-month-old baby exists!”
I was told off
Although, that much was the truth
“I’ll say this though, everyone here has consumed the antidote to Mescaline
You won’t be able to ic”
When I said that, Gazaine clicked his tongue loudly
“shi+t… You even got that old geezer Ganash on your side”
Gazaine glared athis head
“Ah, I get it
So you’re saying that I’ve been rejected by you?”
Gazaine is probably talking about the aforementioned invitation
“Sorry
