40 CHAPTER 38 HELPING God




Anna's life is in danger: ......?

 I'm ruminating over God's words.
 Why is this happening?
 A lot of questions are popping up in my head.

''Yes. Anna is now in an extracurricular class at Eiketsu Gakuen, and she's defeating a demon. The powerful demon that lies in the land has awakened.

Is it true that he's awake?

That's a pretty good point. Mr. Revell, you suspect that the demon didn't wake up, but that someone intended to wake him up.

That's right.

 You can believe this or not, it's up to me.
 I could consider it a rant from God, but I'd rather dismiss that line.
 I want to get as much information as I can, just in case.
 Especially if it could lead to Anna.

The answer is no. It was completely unexpected, and it's why I had the chance to talk to you.

What do you mean?

 The gods' overtones bothered me.


"Let's just put it bluntly. I'm going to help you save Anna.


 God's offer was an unexpected one .

'I'm grateful, but why are you willing to go to such lengths?'

 I decided to ask the question I had been holding in my heart for a while now.
 God made Lal and Kurt hear His voice and move with me because He made them do it.
 It's not a vanity, but I think it's safe to assume that God cares about me a lot.
 It's because he cares about me that I'm being proposed to.

I simply like you.

You like ......?

Yes, that's why I'm concerned about you. I'm sure you've noticed that already.

Wait, wait. I don't know why he likes me.

 Is God something that makes you like a particular being?
 Is he really right because the reason he cares about you is because he likes you?

"I love all beings in this world equally. But that's only because I like Mr. Revell.

I'm not sure: ......

Yes, now is not the time to talk about it.

 Then God smiled.
 I felt as if he was looking at all of our destiny.
 Then there's only one thing I need to focus on.
 If God likes me, then I just have to make the most of it.

Okay. Now, can I ask you specifically what you're going to do to help save Anna?

When you come face to face with this powerful demon, we will transfer you to Anna's presence. After that, you can use your skills to defeat the powerful enemy. You will be returned to your room at the inn where you are sleeping.

 It's up to me to save Anna.
 But it helps a lot to have the opportunity to do so.

I see. I appreciate it.

But it's not all good. Here's my advice.

 For the first time, God looked uneasy.

"Anna's attacker is a manticore. The current Revell-san is no match for this monster. It would be no exaggeration to say that going to save Anna would be tantamount to suicide.

 Manticore.
 Find out the name of that demon in your wisdom.


 ──────────────────── ...

 Manticore
 A lion with a red body. It has leathery wings, a poisonous needle in its tail and three rows of teeth. The lion is so feared that it has been nicknamed a "man-eater" for its vicious nature and prey on people. The League of Adventurers' Guilds ranks it as dangerous, with an S.

 ──────────────────── ...


Sounds like a pretty good opponent.

I'll leave it up to you to decide if you want to save Anna, knowing that she's a powerful enemy.


 It's obvious.
 I don't need time to think.


Let me save Anna.


 I don't care if it's a powerful enemy or not.
 If Anna is in danger, I just want to get rid of it.


...... even if it means losing your own life?

Yes, sir.

Are you sure you have no regrets?

'I don't need to weigh Anna's life against my own.

 Then the god smiled again.

Yes, I knew you'd say that. You've always been that way, Miss Revel.

Did you know about ...... and heard about it?



Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't have offered it to you in the first place.

...... I see.

 There was a god with good taste.
 Which is why I'm so f*cking embarrassed.

Are you ready to make the transition?


 I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

 I know I'm about to face a foe that's stronger than I am.

 If you're going to win and protect Anna, you'll have to be ready to die.


...... Yes, I'm ready whenever you are.

Okay, here we go.


 When God said that, I was surrounded by light and disappeared from the white space .





'I'm a little uncomfortable with that insurance ....... But I'm sure Mr. Revell will be able to pull it off.


 In the white space after Revell disappeared, God muttered to himself .
