Chapter 3 Iris VS Usagi

When Yuuya and the others were working on the idol project.

The Heavenly Sacred Festival in the other world was reaching its climax.

I never thought my opponent in the finals would be you.

(Hmph. Im going to win this time.)

After many battles, the ones who reached the final were Iris, the Sword Saint, and Usagi, the one who bears two Holy titles, the Kicking Saint and the Ear Saint.

In the previous matches, Iris and the others had tried to uncover the plans of Katana Saint Shu, but as a result, they had come to the final without learning anything.

The reason was that, since Shu held the Heavenly Sacred Festival in this way, they also thought that Shu had a secret plan that would make him the winner, but without getting a glimpse of it, Shu fought Iris in the middle of the tournament and was defeated.

In the end, we couldnt figure out what he was thinking.

(But Im sure hes hiding something.)

Youre right. And its not just Shu, but some of the other Holy as well

However, Iris and Usagi accurately saw that some Holy, including Shu, were hiding their power.

However, since these Holy were eventually defeated without showing their power, it remained unclear what they were hiding or what their aim was in hiding their power in the first place.

At first, I thought they might have obtained the power of Evil like the Fist Saint, but it doesnt seem that way.

(Yes. Above all, if you have the power of Evil, it will be hard just to stay in this place.)

Thats also true.

Due to the dense Holy power floating in the Sacred Valley, it was almost impossible for someone with half-baked Evil power such as a Fallen Saint to stay in this place.

In any case, as long as Shu and the others are hiding their power, we cant just show our power unnecessarily either.

(Hah I wanted to fight you with all my might, though.)

We dont have a choice. For now, without any special powers

(Now)

There was a moment of silence.

After that, Usagi and Iris collided at a blinding speed.

Kuh! Usagi, youre getting better at handling magic!

(Thanks to the help of my monstrous apprentice!)

Id say the same thing if you put it that way!

Iris and Usagi, although they had not activated their divine authority, each had their swords and feet covered with magical power and engaged in a battle that caused shockwaves to be generated around them.

Seeing them, Gloria was appalled.

T-those two, were they that strong?

Well, weve had our fair share of experience.

Speaking of which, Odis was using some unfamiliar magic too. What in the world happened to you guys?

Well, I was outmatched by Usagi, who closed the distance before I could give it my best shot, you know?

Odis also gained power, as did Iris and Usagi, but unfortunately, he had to fight Usagi and was defeated before he could give it his all.

So, to Gloria, who was unaware of the situation, the battle between Iris and Usagi seemed to be of a different dimension.

It seemed that the other Holy thought the same way, and they were surprised to see the two fighting.

The organizer of the event, Shu, was the most surprised.

Wonderful

Shu smiled maniacally but soon returned to his usual emotionless smile.

But Odis didnt miss it.

(What is that smile?)

Odis? Whats wrong?

No, its nothing. Its just that the two of them are fighting a little too hard, dont you think?

Youre right

Along with Odis, whose cheeks were drawn back, Gloria was also somewhat taken aback by the battle between Iris and Usagi.

The terrain around them changed every time they collided, and the already thick atmosphere of Holy became even denser.

Wha-!?

While Iris and the others froze at this unexpected statement, Shu continued.

If we manage humanity collectively, no new Evil will be born. What do you think? There couldnt be a more perfect plan, dont you think?

Dont be silly! How can you even consider such an idea?

Iris immediately pressed him on it, but Shu simply looked down at Iris with incomprehension.

Then, do you intend to spend the rest of your life hunting for Evil? No matter how hard we try, if we dont change the root of the problem, nothing will change.

Even if that were true, the result will be the same even if you manage it! There is always a negative side to the human heart.

I know that. Thats whywe have to take away the heart.

!?

The heart, self-consciousness, everything is managed by us, the Holy. There will be no room for the negative side to enter there. And if there are those who resist it, then we will have no choice but to select outstanding people and weed them out in order to eradicate the Evil.

How can you!

(Iris, youre wasting your time. This guys eyes are serious.)

Usagi was already in a state of alert, ready to pounce on Shu at any moment.

But

Hah What a disappointment. How can there be a Holy who cant understand this noble idea? So youre just one of those who will be weeded out, after all.

Ara, really? I won this competition that you organized, didnt I? Who do you think will be eliminated here?

Iris smiled triumphantly at Shu, who sneered at her.

You really think so? What a naive but unfortunately, you cant stop me. Besides

Wha-!?

Shu gave the signal, and several Holy came forward as if to protect Shu.

There are already a number of Holy here who agree with my ideas. No matter how strong you may be, you cant possibly take on this number of Holy, can you?

I am sorry, but I will not join you.

Gloria, who had been watching the proceedings, took the side of Iris and the others.

Your way of thinking is to deny the existence of the children in my care. I cant agree with you.

I cant agree with you either. I dont think there will be any magical development at the end of the control.

I see. But there is nothing wrong with that. You may want to rethink this once again. You can choose to fight an endless battle against Evil and evil beasts from now on, or you can choose to be free. We will always accept you

!

The next moment, a circle of light appeared around Shus feet.

The same circle of light then appeared around the feet of the Holy who had joined Shu.

I hope that you will make a wise decision.

Wait!

Sacred Flash Legs!

In order not to let Shu escape, Usagi closed the distance in an instant while activating his divine authority.

But the circle of light floating at Shus feet emitted an exceptionally strong radiance, and in the next instant, Shu disappeared from the scene.

(Tch! I missed it)

What was that power?

Next to the frustrated Usagi, Odis was thinking about the nature of the light that had just floated by the feet of Shu and the others.

Ive had some pretty unique experiences, too, but even so, Ive never seen the power that Shu and the others just used.

If Odis says so, then that thing isnt magic, is it?

Definitely not.

I dont feel the presence of Evil or the depths of Holy. It is also hard to believe that they have acquired divine authority like we have

(Whatever it is, its getting very troublesome)

Usagis gaze was on the Holy, who was neither on the side of Iris and the others nor on the side of Shus group.

However, Shus words had definitely affected their minds, and each of them was pondering with a serious expression on their faces.

What in the world is going on here?

Unbeknownst to Yuuya, a sense of disquiet begins to drift in the other world.
