Chapter 403

(403) The things I wish to save

Translator: Tseirp

“Please teach me the method to save this world . ”

Miri sighed after I conveyed my request .

“It would be fine even if Onii doesn’t push yourself? The opponent is a Goddess-sama turned Demon God and the Hero . Even if the world is headed for destruction, only monsters will overflow from dungeons and the world will become a place that is more difficult for humans to live in . Koshmar’s words were a little exaggerated . To be honest, it doesn’t involve us . We should just leave it to the Goddesses . ”

“But, even if you say that …”

“Don’t worry, I’ll tell you a method to save the world . ”

“Really!?”

As expected of Miri . For every step ahead I see, she sees a thousand steps ahead .

“I just have to become a Goddess . ”

“Wha ……”

“Demon Gods are gods . The power of a Goddess is needed to compete with them . If it’s me, I can become the strongest ever Goddess . ”

Libra said that day .

『Miri-san, who is the top of the list to be suitable as a Goddess . I won’t force you but please put some consideration into it for the sake of saving the world . 』

Miri postponed it but it looked like she had decided to become a Goddess .

But, that …

“No!”

“Why?”

“A Goddess is formed for the sacrifice of an innocent girl … in other words, you have to die once . ”

“I have already died three times . ”

Miri remarked .

As Kaguya, she was a human sacrifice to stop the eruption of Mount Fuji .

As Famiris Raritei, she fought the Hero and lost .

Finally, as Kusunoki Miri, she mysteriously killed herself at the summit of Mount Fuji .

She had already experienced three deaths even though it should only be once in a life .

“Isn’t it amazing? If it was in the Guinness World Records, it would definitely be a solid record . ”

“ … This is the Otherworld so it won’t be a world record . ”

“Ahaha … that’s true . Right, there is a method to prevent me from becoming a Goddess . ”

“ … Eh?”

“How about Onii marries me here? See, Goddess can only be formed from innocent girls . If Onii defiles me here … sorry, now is not the atmosphere to make such jokes . ”

“ … Yeah, that wasn’t funny . I can’t do that to my younger sister . ”

I said but a load was lifted from my shoulders .

“Right, I am truly an idiot . What saving the world . That’s pretentious . I am Jobless, an unreliable master to Haru and Carol, a savior of the Dark-Elves beyond my means, just a fellow countryman for Marina and Suzuki, and to Miri –”

I looked at Miri .

Her eyes .

My younger sister’s eyes .

“I am Miri’s brother . It is enough as long as the brother saves the younger sister . ”

What about the world? Saving the world is the Hero’s job . Not my job . In the first place, Jobless has no job .

If Jobless has no job, then I will do my job as a brother right .

“I will not allow you to become fodder for other people’s happy ending . Noble sacrifice is a load of crap . ”

“No, Onii . If you say that, I will … truly … even though I can’t lose heart . ”

Tears floated in Miri’s eyes .

“It doesn’t matter!”

“The world wishes for me . To try to make me a Goddess . Does Onii plan to protect me even if it turns the world into your enemy!?”

“If the world wishes to kill you, I will become a Demon Lord and crush the world . I am Jobless so I have been fighting the world from the very beginning . ”

“That’s unreasonable, Onii . ”

Miri said with teary eyes and I wiped it off with my finger .

I knew that I was being unreasonable .

To oppose the Goddesses? I couldn’t even fight against the Hero .

“Thank you . I will never forget Onii’s feelings . But to make the world your enemy . And to do so for me …”

Just as Miri spoke to that point .

“Ah …”

She seemed to have realised something .

“What’s wrong?”

“Wait, shut up!”

Miri said and held my hand .

She then moved my right hand and put it on her mouth .

“There might be … just one method . A way to save the world . ”

“Without killing you?”

“Yup . But it is quite impossible –”

“It is natural for a brother to perform unreasonable tasks to save his younger sister . ”

“Isn’t it to save the world?”

“That’s just an added bonus . ”

Miri seemed to have resolved herself with my remark .

And then, Miri told me an outrageous suggestion .

“Onii, I’m going to have you become a Demon Lord from now!”

※※※

Miri’s suggestion was certainly outrageous .

Becoming a Demon Lord wasn’t it .

Instead, it was what came after becoming the Demon Lord .

However, after hearing her out, I thought that there was certainly a possibility .

A way to save both my younger sister and the world .

“Haurva, you’re there, right?”

“Yes, Miri-sama . ”

Haru came out from the log house with a plate full of omelets . Along with Pionia . They were waiting in the log house while Miri and I spoke .

“You heard our conversation?”

“No, I did not, I had folded my ears . ”

Haru said and flattened her ears . I knew that she could move her ears slightly but I didn’t know she could flatten it like so .

Haru with her folded ears was extremely cute .

“What about you?”

“I heard everything . I recorded all of master’s cool lines . 『If the world wishes to kill you, I will become a Demon Lord and crush the world . I am Jobless so I have been fighting the world from the very beginning . 』”

“Stop it! It’s embarrassing to hear it on repeat!”

That Pionia, she acquired the recording function after becoming a half-cyborg?

“Then, we can tell Haurva later . We . ”

“Are going immediately?”

“After we have breakfast . ”

Miri said and put ketchup on the omelet placed on the table .
