CH 463

The demon Regal.

She was the one who sent me to this world to give me a good life in this world, and made it possible for me to use [Super Jack-of-all-Trades]. I’ve only met her once in a dream or something, but I’m sure I’ll never forget her name, and how does Basleigh-sensei know that name ……

As I stood there, thirsty and unable to speak, Basleigh-sensei smiled and opened her mouth.

“…… It’s not surprising that you’re surprised, It’s been eleven years since then. You’ve grown a lot, Lars-kun.”

“H-Her voice has ……”

“It’s changed …….”

When I heard Makina and Luciel clasping their hands in amazement, I jumped to my feet and interrupted Bas-Regal.

“W-What do you mean, erm, are you really Regal? You said you were going somewhere, didn’t you. So, why are you talking using Basleigh-sensei’s mouth ……?”

“It’s a long story, but you don’t mind, right? Isshishi ……”

“No, you have to tell me or I won’t know ……”

“Well, if that’s what you want …….”

“You’re the one who started talking, right ……!!”

As we were still having the same exhausting conversation, my brother smiled and spoke to me. He must have decided that we were getting nowhere.

“Well, Regal-san? Does this mean that you’ve possessed by Basleigh-sensei?”

“Oh, you’re Lars-kun’s big brother, aren’t you? Then, I’m not sure where to begin …… Well, first of all, the Sephiroth and I exist in the same dimension as the gods of this world.”

“W-What ……?”

“G-Gods, you say …… just like ten chief priests?”

Surprised Fath-san and Makina mutter, and Regal raises her index finger and then returns the answer.

“Yes, it is. What some of you have seen of the Ten Chief Priests …… is a form of a creature from another world called a demon. I’m one of them too …… I once told Lars-kun that there is no God in this world, and it has something to do with that. “

“……!? You said you didn’t know that at the time.”

“I thought it would be better if you could live your life without getting involved with it.”

“Lars, do you know this person …… this demon?”

“…… Yeah.”

“What do you–“

I responded briefly to my Dad’s words. There seemed to be something he wanted to ask me, but I was confused and trying to figure out how to explain it, so Regal continued. 

“Now, leaving Lars-kun aside for a moment, I have come down to this world to look for the one who erased God. And I’ve tracked it down.”

“What!?”

Ryuuze is surprised. But I can’t help but imagine who it is. 

“Well, let’s leave that aside too ……”

“Oh, well, I think it’s an important part of the story, but can’t you please tell us?”

As we slumped back, Retzel calmly made a comment, but Regal scratched her head and made a bitter face. 

I know, but I have too much to say. Then, let’s talk at once!”

“What the hell is this demon, Lars ……”

“This is the kind of demon she is …… Let’s go along with her for bit a little longer.”

I feel that no matter how it turns out, it’s only going to be the worst, but I guess that’s why she showed up at this time.

The story she began to tell was unbelievable.

It seems that she was walking around the world looking for the person who erased God, when she saw the battle between the Berias Kingdom and Everlide.

It seems that she saved Basleigh-sensei from escaping through the window there, and as a way to act in this world, she has inhabited in her body on the condition that she would help Basleigh-sensei take her revenge.

“Wasn’t the war before I was born ……?”

“Isshishishi …… I was already in this world at that time, and when you were born in this world …… I sensed Lars-kun, so I met him in a dream.”

“What …… What are you talking about ……?”

My brother and Nora were supporting my Mom’s confused shoulders.

“And I was picked up by Himmel-niichan and investigated with Regal. I needed the power, so I became a minister and then a teacher to get closer to Tigre-sensei. Regal had told me about you, so I kept an eye on you, Lars-kun.”

“Just now …… it was Basleigh-sensei, huh. So you followed me on my journey ……”

“Yes, I did. It seems that Regal wanted you to live a quiet life, but Lars-kun, your power has attracted many things. You’ve gone on a journey, battling the Gospel’s Descent, and discovering in Sandiola the identity of ‘the one who erased God’, which was the purpose of me and Regal.”

The last words were spoken by Regal, and her expression changed from a smile to a serious one.

And then she tells us.

“The one who erased God is the man with the ten demons …… Apollos, the Founder of the Gospel’s Descent.”

“……”

The smiling Retzel seemed to have anticipated the answer.

“So that thing with three heads or whatever is a demon?”

‘Yes, Ryuuze-kun. A demon that doesn’t exist in this world. He is the only one who has them under his command.”

When Regal answered clearly, Luciela, who was standing with her back against the wall, narrowed her eyes.

“Then how is this Apollos controlling those demons? They don’t exist in this world. But they do.”

“Luciela-oneechan’s question is quite right. But that man could do it.”

“You know something, don’t you, Sephiro?”

When Makina held her in her arms and said this, she nodded her head and continued.

“That man is a human being from another world. A being who has never attained peace and forced to come to this world by deceiving god.”

“A …… A human from another world?”

Urka squeezed out a pale voice, and everyone else groaned. I’m sure that’s true, but it’s not something that a reincarnated person like me, or anyone who is born into this world from the beginning, can believe.

…… I’m sure that’s why she’s telling us this now that Adramelech and the other demons have shown their true colors. And Sephiro continued.

“I was cut down at the time, but God dropped me back into this world with all his strength. I lost my memory and kept wandering …… thinking that the Treants was my family ……”

“I see, I didn’t know that ……”

The more I listen to her, the more the pieces of the puzzle seem to fit together.

“I was so happy when I found Sephiro that I almost threw up, after all. Regal.”

“Don’t be ridiculous!? It’s you who were so happy because you could kill your revenge target, not me.”

“Seriously, that’s why demons are ……”

“I wonder if you’ll ever be able to get revenge without using that demon’s power.”

“Um, let’s not fight like that because it makes everything we’ve said sound fake, okay?”

When Luciel rebuked her, Bas-Regal, who was doing her own skit, bowed her head.

“Ahhh, I’m sorry, Luciel-chan. Well, we finally confirmed what we didn’t aren’t sure about, that’s why. “

“In the end, I feel sorry that I had to ask for Lars-kun’s help after all …… Isshishishi ……”

“Why Lars? Sure, the kid has talent and the skill, but ……”

When Dad said this, Regal thought for a moment and then answered.

“…… Lars-kun’s skill is something I bestowed, after all. It’s pitiful that  he was born in a poor family, after all.”

“I-Is that all? It looks to me like you were trying to take advantage of Lars-kun ……”

“I was planning not to use him. That’s the truth. It was originally a matter for the government to solve, once they found the Sephiroth. And that’s why I raised the status of Basleigh.”

Sarge, who had been keeping silent, finally lost his nerve and opened his mouth. Then Basleigh-sensei closed her eyes and made a shocking statement for the umpteenth time.

“Apollos, the Founder …… That man is a cousin of the current king, Albert.”

At that moment, for some reason, I felt a chill run down my spine.

“Lars? It’s okay, your face is turning an earthy color.”

“I-I’m fine …… I feel a little sick, but ……”

A few minutes ago, she said that Apollos was a person who died in another world and forced to come to this world. That means he must be a reincarnated person. And that person is royalty …… this is a very dark story and I’m listening to it, thinking that I’m starting to see it–

Ahhhhhhhh I’ve finally got enough time to write the Afterword!
