The sun was shining at such a murderous pace that it seemed like a different kind of celestial body to René, who was born in the north. It reminded him a little of the heat stroke mass production equipment he had seen in the concrete jungle of his previous life.
　The desert in early spring had yet to show its true power, but the heat was already intense.

　The group was in the middle of the desert.
　Far from human settlements and off the path of the caravans, the tracks leading to this place were obscured by the magic of the wind.

　The dunes, formed by the wind, contrasted sharply with the light and shadows, and went on forever.
　A number of small, crude tents that looked like canopies supported by random sticks were lined up, under which an oddly shaped army (some of them beautiful) was resting. It looked like a refugee camp.
　A huge mithril golem, wrapped in cloth to prevent it from turning into a frying pan in direct sunlight, caught my attention. Next to it, a group of mummified hippogriff zombies sat in a sphinx pose.

　Around the tent, a magic circle shaped like a hula hoop was carved in the sand, and magic stones were placed at almost equal intervals.
　Thanks to the magic circle, the temperature in the tent was kept at around 28 degrees Celsius, which made the Ministry of the Environment happy.

The ghouls have been consuming corpse meat since we entered the desert to keep their bodies from weathering, so they're consuming a lot of food. We'll have to replenish our supplies as we exit the desert.
"Well, we've just gotten some data on undead marching through the desert.
　But I think we should not march non-stop. We'll just walk at night until we get through the desert.

　Rene and Everith, desert travelers in sun shrouds, were in a meeting in the center of the camp.
　Instead of a chair, they were sitting in a solid coffin that could hold the mummy of a pharaoh.

"I'm sorry. It's my fault we're stuck here. ......

　Beneath their asses, Miaranse's voice came from inside the solid, shaded coffin.
　The desert is a place where the sun's element is strong. The sun was beating down on him, and even with his protective gear, Mihranze was reaching his limits.

Don't worry about it. I think the human team should have rested by now.
"No, no.
　It's getting harder and harder to cheat with magic and potions and stay awake.

　Most undead can keep moving as long as their energy supply is sufficient, and they don't feel fatigue. Most undead can keep moving as long as they have enough energy and don't feel tired.
　The group had been marching tirelessly since they had escaped from Teiral'are. It might be a good time to take a break.

"Well, Princess, let's go over what we're going to do in the long run.
Right here, right now?
We've been so busy that we haven't had time to talk.
　There's too much to do on the road.

　Everisse dipped her hand into the Japanese thief's wrapping cloth style storage magic item. It was the one she had been carrying when she and Rene had first met.
　From inside the four-dimensional furoshiki that was supposed to hold the large amount of junk and artifacts that filled her studio, Everis pulled out a teaching aid. Somehow Rene reminded him of the evil gods he had encountered in the past.

It's easier said than done, though. ......
　If we're going to stop the Great God, as the princess wants, we need to destroy this world first.
　In order to do that, we need to seize all the geological points in the world and launch the world-destroying magic all at once. In other words, we have to practically conquer the world.

　Everis took a swing of his teacher's whip, and a world map of light appeared in the air. The screen of pale blue light had a hint of science fiction about it.

　What appeared on the screen was a huge continent with a distorted shape, and several islands that seemed to be attached to it.
　This is the only continent that makes up this world: ...... "Pangaea".
　No one who has gone to see the end of the sea has ever returned, and this continent and its islands are the only world for man and demon alike.

　On the map of the continent, there was a knitting pattern carved like the skin of a muskmelon.
　The flow of magical power through the earth. It's called a vein.

Are you going to destroy all this ......?
"Yes. That's why it's practically impossible without world domination.
　But it's not that easy.
　...... You know that this world is designed to be balanced between the great gods and the evil gods, right?

　I'm not sure what to make of that.
　I heard it from the evil god himself.

If the human race is in trouble, the Great God will be able to provide powerful support to the human race.
　On the other hand, now that the humans are so dominant, the Great God can do almost nothing, while the Evil God can do many things. ......
Yes, yes. The princess was born as a result of this.

　Everis took another swing of his teaching whip. Then the screen switched.
　Most of the continent is blacked out, with only a small portion of the southern tip remaining white.
　The white area was surrounded by a large number of jet-black "convex" marks.

A little over 400 years ago, the demon tribe almost conquered the continent (Pangaea).
　The demon race conquered almost the entire continent (Pangaea) a little over 400 years ago. ...... All the places that are now inhabited by human beings were the home of demons. Isn't that amazing?
　The human race was forced into the floating island "God's Box" that appeared far south of here, at the end of Pangaea. There were also a few islands protected by the sea, far from the continent.
　You learn about these in temple school, right?
I don't go to ...... school anymore, but I learned it from my mom.

　Education was the role of the temple. This is common throughout the continent.
　After all, temples were given knowledge and skills as oracles from the gods. The reason why the human race, once nearly destroyed, was able to regain its prosperity without falling into the Stone Age is because temples were able to serve as a vehicle for the transmission of technology.

　At any rate, temples teach not only the knowledge given by oracles but also reading, writing, and calculation in temple schools. This is a result of the natural concentration of the role of education in temples.
　Rene was eventually taught by his mother with only a textbook, but even that textbook was of such a high quality that even now, when compared to elementary education on Earth, it must be said that it was quite good.



　Now, the temple education naturally includes history.
　History is mostly about the battles between the human race and the Demon King's army, and since it is closely related to the teachings of the temple, the temple puts a lot of effort into history education.

There are only a few tens of thousands of people, including non-combatants, holed up on the floating island. In contrast, the total number of people who have attacked the floating island, including demons, monsters, and undead, is in the hundreds of millions. But ......
So you lost.
Yes, we lost!
　It's a great spectacle, a reversal of fortune that has been the subject of plays, readings, and temple sermons in human society!
　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the following web site: .......

　As he sat in his coffin, Everis stuttered and clattered.
　The human race, trapped in a corner of the world, had defeated the demon race with the blessings of the gods.

　The glorious victory was a medal of honor for the temple. Or perhaps it is a badge of honor for behaving arrogantly.
　And just as the warring states and the end of the Tokugawa shogunate had been made into novels and dramas in Japan, there was no way that such interesting content would not be commercially exploited. René himself saw the play several times, and was thrilled by the great comeback of the human race.
　However, the fact of history that the human race could not defeat the human race in the end is a hopeless thing when you are the one who destroys the world.

You can't beat them with a force difference of several hundred times. ......
"If you're cornered to that extent, the human race is soaked in blessings (cheats).
　In the event that you've got a lot of money to spend, you'll be able to spend it on a lot of things.
　No, this is a bit of an excuse. I think it's also my fault for not taking advantage of our numbers.

　The witch expresses her sincere remorse.
　She calls herself the only consultant for world domination in this world. I'm sure you've heard of it, but I'm not sure if you've seen it.

You know the rest.
　The human race grew rapidly and the population recovered quickly with the power of blessings. The Demon Lord's army has been defeated repeatedly until now.
　And well, I felt responsible for the defeat, so I went along with the Demon Lord's army. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm not sure what to do.
Did you get a thumbtack in your shoe?
Did you get a pin in your shoe? - I think I had a laceworm in my shoe once.
"............ What's that?

　Rene avoided going into too much depth with his mischievous questions.
　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
　The aloof Everis seriously disliked him, so he left the powerful Demon King's army, which was supposed to be a contractor for world domination, even though it was failing, and came to Rene, who was still just a strong nomad, even though he had fallen a whole country. There must have been something that made him do that.
　Perhaps he had been sent to a department like the Career Development Division, and had been forced to copy documents all day.

I've abandoned the Demon Lord Army, but I still feel the need to make up for it.
　If there's a next time, I'm not going to lose. ...... No, I won't let you lose. I am.

　I'm not going to let you lose." Everis smiled with a scheming look in his erotic purple eyes, shining like a child.

I'm not going to let you lose. ...... No, I'm not.
Yes.

　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.
