Prologue

Part 2

I see that you didnt know about it either

Thats only natural.

After all, everything in that storeroom was collected by my grandfather, and I had nothing to do with it.

But from the look of that coffin, I thought maybe there was a real mummy in there

I-I mean, theres no way Id think a living person would be in there

I agree. Everyone was surprised.

Only Yuti was as excited as usual, but from the looks of everyone else, even Ouma-san didnt seem to notice.

Rather, how long has she been in there? How was she even still alive?

Im confused by the situation. And I cant stop thinking about it.

But then another bomb was dropped on me.

Well, Yuuya. There is something else I have to tell you.

Y-yes?

Its about Night and the others

Night? Huh? Speaking of which, where are Night and the others?

If everyone was here, it was not surprising that Night and the others were here, but for some reason, not only Night but even those who go at their own paces, like Akatsuki and Ciel, were not here in this storage room.

While I looked around, Kuuya-san continued, looking like he was having a hard time explaining.

Night and the others disappeared.

..Huh?

I couldnt understand what Kuuya-san meant, so I just kept asking back.

What do you mean by disappeared?

It means exactly what it says. Night and the others were in this room with us. But a piece of the mask that was hanging there fell on them, and when they touched it, they disappeared.

Eh.

There are indeed some creepy masks hanging on the wall in the place Kuuya-san pointed out.

However, the number of masks had decreased.

Disappeared, you say? Where?

I never had much of a feeling about it, but Ouma-san and the others said that this room was a dangerous place where various powers swirl around.

And one of them, the mask, was not considered normal, of course.

If something happened to Night and the others!

I panicked, but Ouma-san opened his mouth.

I can understand your concern, but Im sure theyll be fine.

H-how can you be so sure?

Night is a Black Fenrir, comparable to me, you know. Besides, Akatsuki is also a special being, and even the Luan Ciel is with them. No matter what happens, Im sure theyll be fine.

M-maybe, but

I know that Night and the others are also strong.

But there was another concern besides that and my feelings.

More importantly, you have a lot of work to do right now, dont you? The same goes for the little girl sleeping there, but isnt there something going on in the other world as well?

..

Ouma-san was right, and Iris-san asked for my help.

But I still dont know what it meant.

Then Kuuya-san put his hand on my shoulder.

For now, just do what you can, one thing at a time. Ill look into the masks with Ouma. Dont worry; Night and the others will be fine.

Our eyes widened at Iris-sans words.

I thought it was possible that the remnants of the Evil cult had resurrected another Evil from another era, but that was not the case.

Surprisingly, the opponent was the same Holy as Iris-san.

W-why did the same, Holy Could it be that they received the power of Evil just like before?

No. It was not the power of Evil It was a power similar to the Divine Authority we had acquired.

Huh?

Divine Authority was the power we acquired to defeat the false god under the Observers.

As the name implied, its a god-like power, but while the Observers could do anything with it, our Divine Authority can do small things like instant movement and body enhancement.

However, in order to acquire this power, we had given up being human, and even though it was not perfect, it was a power worthy of the name Divine Authority.

The opponent was using Divine Power and while ours was imperfect, theirs was like the power of a perfect God.

P-perfect Does that mean they are the same as the Observers?

No, I think its more mysterious and thats what a real god is like.

Certainly, the Observers were just denizens of the dimension above, and although their power was tremendous, they were different from God.

However, the Holy who possessed Divine Power, as described by Iris-san, were beings similar to the God we know.

The Holy who possesses this Divine Power have declared war on the world. They want people to surrender to their control. And if anyone refuses they will kill them.

..

We were horrified.

H-how could they do such a thing?

They only want one thing. They want to take control of the world and create a world where no more Evil is born.

Huh?

It was so far-fetched that I couldnt keep up with what was happening.

How is the management of the world related to a world where no Evil will ever be born?

As you probably know, Yuuya-kun, Evil is an entity that collects the negative emotions of all beings living in this world. Thats why, in order to eliminate the negative emotions of all living beings they want to manage the emotions of all humanity.

No way! Thats ridiculous!

Lexia-san shouted at Iris-sans words.

Of course, what Lexia-chan said is true; its a messed up idea. It is true that we, the Holy, have received the power from this planet to fight against Evil. But controlling all the beings on this planet to destroy the Evil is unacceptable.

I have a question: How can they act so ruthlessly and not be stripped of their Holy power?

When Luna mentioned the question she had in mind, Iris-san shook her head.

Normally, they would be stripped of their power. But these people Maybe it is because of the influence of the Divine Power, the power of the Holy is still intact.

From this planet Argena-san, I also received the power of Holy Evil Creation.

As the name suggests, this power can manipulate the two powers of Holy and Evil.

It was true that Evil was a threat to the creatures of this world, but the Evil aspect itself was necessary for the world.

Trying to erase it completely, let alone manage people who had nothing to do with it, was

So, you mentioned a declaration of war. Is that against some country?

No, the whole world. This must be the power of the Divine Power They projected themselves into the sky above the whole world and told the world from there.

So what happened?

When Lexia-san asked this, Iris-san had a difficult expression on her face.

Regardless of whether they are part of the Holy, no country would accept such a ridiculous idea of managing humanity. So right now, the situation has begun to divide into two main groups: those who are just standing by and watching the situation quietly and those who are organizing a strike force. As I recall, the Kingdom of Arcelia has been quiet about this

Father

The Kingdom of Arcelia, ruled by Lexia-sans father, Arnold-sama, seems to be watching the situation for now.

They are in no way obeying this Holy; they are just working to understand the situation.

Iris-san. Who is this Holy who is trying to control humanity?

The Katana Saint Shu Zakuren.

With an expression of disgust on her face, Iris-san spoke the name.
