Part 2

We are now changing places to the world after death, the underworld.

Reimei-sama. I have more to tell you.

More?

Reimei had finished dealing with the demons in the underworld that had escaped from the seal and did not want any more trouble, but one of her subordinates wonderfully ignored her wishes and continued.

The soul of the false god has indeed disappeared, but it doesnt change the fact that his soul has moved on until it came to this place.

W-what? So what about it? Tell me without any pretense!

It seems that not only the boundary between this world and the underworld, but also the boundaries between the various parallel worlds that the soul of the false god touched before reaching this place, and even the boundaries of the time axis, have disappeared.

Reimei almost fainted.

Originally, this world and the underworld were considered two in one.

But if what Ikkaku said is true, this incident is no longer something that can be dealt with in one world. Because it means that the underworld in which they are now living has become connected to countless other worlds.NewW novels updates at novelhall.com

Moreover, if even the boundaries of the time axis had disappeared, the worlds could collide, and one of them could swallow the other and merge.

I-if, as I suspect, the boundary with the other underworlds is also?

Its gone. Rather, the soul that caused trouble this time is a soul that originally existed in another world, and it just arrived at this underworld while destroying the boundary between worlds.

It was beyond the realm of what Reimei alone could solve.

In other words, my underworld was hit by a stray bullet that flew in from another world what a mess

If it had happened in the underworld under her control, she would be willing to take responsibility and deal with it, but this time, since it was the victim of a false gods soul that came from a completely different world, Reimei could only hold her head in her hands.

Then, Ikkaku added another blow to Reimeis mind.

And one more thing.

One more thing?

Meikos seal is also gone.

..

Reimei looked up to the heavens at the words she did not want to hear the most at this moment.

So seal her again?

It is not impossible, but like the restoration of the boundary between this world and the next, it will take time. Fortunately, Meiko herself seems to be still quiet

Besides the restoration of the boundary, the resealing of Meiko.

I dont know what to do anymore

When Reimei was in tears, wondering where to start, Ikkaku made a suggestion.

Reimei-sama. I have one suggestion for you.

What is it?

You may already know this, but this matter cannot be solved by Reimei-sama or us alone. So, Id like to bring in some collaborators.

Collaborators? Im telling you, you cant get people from the heavenly realms. You think that with the divine authority of those who live in the heavenly realms, the boundaries between the various worlds can be quickly restored, dont you? I certainly think it is a good idea, but since divine authority was necessary to defeat the false god, there is a high possibility that the boundaries of the worlds annihilated by the false god cannot be restored quickly even with the available divine authority. Above all, the heavenly world is too far away from this underworld. The longer it takes now, the more damage will spread, wont it?

Yes, I am well aware of that. I am not talking about the observers in the heavenly realm. Besides, I am asking this person to seal up Meiko.

What?

Reimeis eyes widened at the unexpected words.

The truth is, I had tried to find out how the soul of the false god drifted to this underworld before it was annihilated. As a result, I found out that it was sent to the underworld of another world by the hand of a single person.

What? You mean that this person defeated the false god

As you may have guessed, this person seems to be able to use divine authority.

Hmm But he is from a different world, isnt he?

No. He is from the Earth, the counterpart of our underworld.

What? There is someone with that kind of power on Earth?

Although there are not many, there are a few people with special powers on Earth as well.

However, Reimei could not hide her surprise at the fact that a person with such a powerful power, like divine authority, existed on Earth.

No? The demon spreads the stain of death to its surroundings, but for me it is no big deal to keep that stain inside my own body. Therefore, Yuuya and the others will not be affected.

After saying all that, Kuuya-san gathered his spiritual power in his eyes and stared up at the sky.

Hmm I wonder how much information about the spiritual power and the impurities is left in this world but it seems that there are people who have the power to purify the impurities. If you go there

Uh?

Good, Ive found it. Is that okay? You will be exorcised at the place I am about to tell you. Its

And so, I was reminded by Kuuya-san to go for an exorcism.

Certainly, I felt a somewhat sinister presence from that monster that demon, and regardless of whether it was just me who had an effect, it would be bad to have a bad influence on everyone else.

Hmm well, its surely weird to keep going like this.

I agree! I think I should go for an exorcism too!

You are too scared, Kaede.

Are you not scared, Rin-chan?

Well, I think its creepy, but I dont know if its that bad.

Eeehhh? W-what about Kaori?

Im not that bothered by it either

Unbelievable!

Well, as for Kaori, she knows about the existence of the other world, so theres a good chance that when she sees that monster, shes just as likely to recognize it as a monster from the other world.

While Kaede was surprised at the lack of rejection from everyone, Merl opened her mouth with a serious expression on her face.

Kaede-san. I do understand.

Me-Merl-san!

Such an unscientific existence cant possibly be believed! Its impossible its impossible!

Me-Merl-san?

I think Merls way of being scared is scarier than yours.

As she smiled bitterly at that, Rin turned her gaze toward me.

So, I understand the exorcism, but where are we going?

Lets see, do you remember the shrine where we tried to test our courage during the summer vacation?

Eh? If Im not mistaken, thats the place where a girl named Mai Kagurazaka was, right?

Hey, hey, are we going to get exorcised at the place where we tested our courage?

But if you think about it, that place is a shrine, right?

If its Mais place, you can be certain!

When Lexia-san, who knows Kagurazaka-san well, said so, Kaede and the others, who did not know the situation, tilted their heads.

Huh? Lexia-san, do you know Kagurazaka-san?

Of course! Mai is on the other side of the worldMmgh!

Ah! Ignore what this girl says. We just happen to know each other by chance.

I-is that so?

Luna hurriedly held Lexia-sans mouth, and Lexia-san, who finally got out of that restraint, was angry at Luna.

Hey, what are you doing?

What do you mean what am I doing to you, you idiot! We are from another world is a secret, you know?

Oh, thats right.

You well, fine. Anyway, dont say or do anything that might raise suspicion. Do you understand?

It cant be helped.

Lexia-san, who was whispering with Luna, nodded her head reluctantly, perhaps convinced.

A-anyway! Ive heard that they have a great reputation for exorcisms there.

I see. Well, Im a little nervous about spending the rest of my life like this, so I thought, why not?

T-thats right! Now that its decided, lets go right away!

We decided to go to Kagurazaka-sans shrine, so we made our plans together and headed once again to Kagurazaka-sans shrine on the next day off.
