Not from Satou's perspective

"So you're back, Parion"

A boy-like voice greeted the being that teleported in with light

The light froirl illuminates a black-clothed boy within the dark eerie hall

The light disappeared before long, eerie darkness returned to the even eerier hall

"Touya-sairl as called with the name God Parion contained respect toward her superior

"Then, stop assu that form"

"Yes"

When the boy in black clothes--the one called Tactician Touya in Weasel Ela face of the God also changed into a plain one with no special characteristics

After she was done transfor froht disappeared

"Touya-sa the 『Thief God's Mirror』"

"I still have so for you to do Take it with you"

"Yes, Touya-sama"

The pendant she has, [Thief God's Mirror] see for the two to be done, a tune that has an eerie inti aspect to it echoes in the hall as if it's the appearance of a bad guy

"Looks like the Chief has come"

The two people kneel toward the throne that looks like it's assembled from humans bones situated at the depth of the hall

A blue and a red geroan-like sound coroan sounds changed into a hue dialect

Tactician Touya raises his face and talks to the geement Plan has failed"

The woman with plain face bit her lips in vexation when she heard the word failed

Apparently, she was involved in the [Estrangeet sed up in the Divine Punishdo froh"

The words of the guy called Chief sounded like he was astonished froht awe seemed like it was mixed in it

"Then, what 'bout the Anti-God Mine?"

"It had some effect, but it lacked the decisive factor"

They're talking about the Dragon Fang Nuclear Mine, the trump card that the Great Weasel Demon Lord used on God Zaikuon

"Guess a direct confrontation 's ions redients tho'"

"That's an e ork again against Gods"

"Ain't that tru' Guess we've gotta leave it to our Lord-san to fite' Gods 'fter all"

For them, the Seven Pillar Gods are opponents that must be defeated

The [Lord-san] spoken by the chief seems to be a God other than the Seven Pillar Gods--or perhaps a being that canthe Chief, the wo prostrate

"What's it? Le to the one who had infiltrated Weasel Eular's faction critically wounded the God"

As an addendu reports

"That's amazin' Did she turn into a True Demon Lord?"

"No, she was still a human"

The chief's voice sounded as if he heard so

"Y'kiddin' me Think we coulda take 'er to our faction'?"

"Let us not, that's clearly a trap--a death flag"

"Ain't yer' rite' Best not to have anythin' to do with the Irregular 'ey"

With a pale face, Tactician Touya hurriedly stopped the chief who see, the chief's voice sounded nervous too

"Since Shin should 'be in the Irregular's faction, d'ya think he'd be strong eno' to defeat a God in time?"

"That's not possible He's just a normal human He transcended humanity precisely because turned into a demon lord with the Demon Lord's Orb while he had Hero title"

"Ain't that rite', 's fine s'long as Shin has enough power to live normally"

The Chief murmured as if he was a parent worried about his child, after a uess Weasel Emperor-han has really?"

"--He was hit by the Seven God's Divine Punished and Tactician Touya shook his head at the Chief's question

Silence drifts about in the eerier room for a while

Contrary to their concern about the emperor of another country, it seems there's no one here worried about Hero Meiko who should be from the same place as them

"Touya, y'can take a break fer' now You've just losta friend n'all"

"That I cannot do For as long as I've lived, this isn't the first tiet used to that"

At the Chief's friendly concern, the Tactician Touya's declared that there was no need for it

The woman with plain face see prostrate

"I'an-han and the arence Bureau'll be alright"

"Is it about the continuation of the chaos on the continent's west?"

"Yeap"

The Chief spoke of Saga Empire's Emperor's name familiarly

The woman with plain face clearly looked perplexed when the Chief stated the naence Bureau]

From her viewpoint, it was odd for the Chief to purposely state the obvious like the naular intervene?"

"No worries tere' I'a Eular cauy who likes ta' crash in other's turfs 'fter all"

From the flow of conversation, you can infer that the existence called Irregular is a a Enore

More importantly, heroes--the Chief certainly did say that

It seea Eht after Hero Hayato defeated the demon lord in Dejima Island and returned home

If academicians were to hear this, they would probably rack their brain hard as to where they got the enoric power needed to summon heroes and at what cost

"Gotta be extra careful 'bout things related to Irregular"

"Yes, we have taken an extreanization, E Fir E Firh amicable means, please don't worry"

The woman with plain face answered the Chief's question

"And, how 'bout the plan there?"

"Then, in regards to the Labyrinth Highway Plan's progress--"

The woman with plain face stood up and answered the Chief's question

"--About the Miasma Level at various places, they're extremely low co Force Magic in front of the bone throne, and spoke about the detailed infor to that display, the miasma in Dejiular's fault ain't it"

"There is no shred of doubt"

Tactician Touya affirmed the Chief
