42 - Episode 9!

The "Giant Tower of Mystery," as it is called by the Queen Elf Kingdom, consists of four parts.

All four parts are circular in shape, with the base being the largest and becoming smaller as one moves upward.

The building material is unknown, but it is pure white without a single stain, and its surface is smooth like marble.

When seen up close, it looks more like a "giant wedding cake" than a "giant tower.

Nya~!

On the edge of the first level of such a huge tower, "SUR, genius monster tamer Aoyuki level 9999" is sitting on his feet. The floor was shaking.

Aoyuki was wearing a cat-ear parka and had distinctive blue hair color.

Her breasts are small and her arms and legs are thin.

She is a very fragile and beautiful girl with a young face, combined with her fantastic blue hair color.

As the name "Genius Monster Tamer" implies, she is now linked to the monsters she tames and shares her five senses with them.

Like a monster commander, she sends out instructions on what to do and eliminates enemy adventurers who approach the "Giant Tower.

Ellie, her skirt billowing out from the air, lands by her side.

She brushes her lightly spread hair and calls out to Aoyuki, who is meditating.

How's it going?"

Nya~"

'...... going well, right?　It's amazing that the Light God can have a proper conversation with this."

Ellie lightly clears her throat before continuing.

I don't doubt your ability, Aoyuki," she said. However, the decision-making skills, fatigue, and detailed problems involved in actually operating and choosing among the many monsters of different species on the ground will present a different set of problems than those encountered in the survey of the "Natsura" wilderness forest. This is a good opportunity for us to identify these problems, so please enjoy it to the fullest."

And,' she adds.

The Light God has instructed us to save the human race if they behave immorally, but we can kill those who behave immorally, regardless of their species. He said he will leave the decision on that to you, Aoyuki."

Nya."

Aoyuki responds to Ellie's instructions with her eyes closed.

Ellie looked at Aoyuki while reading deeply into Wright's intentions in her heart.

(As expected of the Light God. He is using this incident as a touchstone to measure our emotional state, our goodness and our badness!　I'm sure you understand, Aoyuki, but I wonder if the rest of us do.　Especially the adventurers who go around the forest and let the race (humans) protect them. The Mohicans who insist on wearing their strange hairstyles are almost never concerned about betrayal before they are summoned from the Light God's card, but there is no possibility that they will make a fatal mistake in this plan by making a mistake in judging right from wrong. Should we nail them before that happens?　However, if we undermine the Light God's intentions by making a poor decision, we might cause ...... some displeasure. So I think it's best to just sit back and watch.)

As Ellie's thoughts were spinning at high speed, Aoyuki, who was by her side, spit out a little venom.

Don't worry about it," Aoyuki said. The Lord has taken that into consideration as well. It is impious for Aoyuki and the others to infer the thoughts of that one who is God.

Aoyuki's point was watered down by Ellie, who was excited to get the maximum results from Light's intentions.

Naturally, she was not amused, and her expression hardened.

I doubt it. Don't you think it is your duty as a woman and a loyal servant to get as close as possible to that divine mind, to understand him, to be by his side, to support him, and to bear his children?

No. Aoyuki and the others should be what the Lord wants them to be. We should only think of living, fighting, healing, being sought after, serving, loving, falling in love, cuddling, being a spear, being a shield, killing, being killed, burning, burning out, and being useful to the Lord even if we turn to ashes. Anything else is unnecessary and impure to the Aoyukis."

Aoyuki's unusual long speech.

He wants to say, 'I'll do whatever Wright wants me to do.

Currently, Light wants Aoyuki to be his pseudo-sister and healer because of her appearance. Therefore, she seems to be acting as a sister and a pet.

Ellie raises her eyebrows uncomfortably at this answer.

She says, "So because I'm ......, I'm a pet?　I don't understand."

"--We both don't understand each other. When you're fighting with May in front of the Lord, you can't suppress your desire to kill her. If you bother the Lord, I will kill you."

Oh dear, that's not a very funny joke. Do you think you can beat me, Mr. Aoyuki?"

'--Try it and you'll see. And it would be a good experiment to see what would happen if Aoyuki and the others died.

Aoyuki hides her eyes with her hoodie and glances at Ellie at her side.

In the distance, birds take off.

A tense atmosphere is created between the two.

In terms of strength ranking, Nazuna is in first place, Ellie in second, Aoyuki in third, and Mei in fourth.

Nazuna, in first place, is simply strong.

Mei, in fourth place, is an all-around type, capable of anything but lacking in decisiveness.

Ellie is a wide-range type.

Aoyuki also tames monsters and is classified as a wide-range type with simultaneous operation, but in terms of "destructive power" and "annihilation power," she is one step behind Ellie, the "Forbidden Witch.

Nevertheless, both are LV 9999, ranking second and third.

This is not to say that "Ellie can easily win against Aoyuki.

' "............"

They stare at each other.

A few seconds, maybe close to a minute passed.

"......"

Aoyuki takes her gaze away from Ellie and turns it to the forest in the distance.

It seems that he is being asked for instructions by the monster to which he has linked his senses.

Ellie also exhaled and wiped away the cold sweat floating on her face while pretending to adjust her hair.

'...... I mustn't interrupt your work any more than I already have. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do with this, but it was quite a meaningful time to hear Aoyuki's true feelings. I'm sure it would be a pleasure to have an open discussion like this when the opportunity arises."

Nyah."

Aoyuki closes her eyes again and responds with a tone of voice that makes it difficult to tell whether she is interested or not.

Ellie, too, gave up on further pursuit and floated back up to the top floor of the huge tower.
