「Yes, exactly Their sense of values is codom」

「And war occurred because of that?」

‘Yes’, Louise nodded

The people in the dedom were unique race that produced spirit element within themselves in a different scale compared to the human race and beastman race Those people established and developed their own country

Exactly because of that their sense of values was different froh their population was the fewest a all countries, they could use powerful spirit art because of that The de of this generation also possessed outrageous power

「And then, the celestial race is also special They don’t use spirit art Even without using such thing, they are able to directly ask the spirits to cause every kind of phenomenon」

Spirits that were able to clearly communicate their ere really feever, the celestial race was able to communicate even with spirits that didn’t have distinctive will

Inevitable their poas vast It was natural, after all the nature was their ally

「The war continue for long, many countries are sed by the flow and participated in the war, and then they were eliminated」

In the end, what left were only the four countries that were y develop at that」

It seedom not only rivaled the celestial race, far from that they even developed weapons one after another that could obliterate even the divine spirit who intervened in order to protect the nature Of course, the amount of spirit element consumed by those weapons was also tremendous in proportion to the effect and power

「Now that youthe title her class of the spirit-san」

「My apologies My explanation was lacking However, Shia-sama It’s just as you discerned Your perception of them is mostly correct」

‘However’, Louis continued

「Shia-saine a natural disaster」

「Natural disaster……like typhoon, earthquake, or cold wave……those kind of things?」

「That’s right Divine spirits are those things taking hue voice That wasn’t in the level of higher class of spirit anyod, ain’t that the fury of nature itself’, her expression was like that

By the way, those divine spirits in general had the appearance that was alh intellect Even throughout the history, only several of them had their existences confirmed, the foundation of nature――wind and fire and water and earth and the like, it was thought that the divine spirits ruled over each of those aspects

And then, the dee to repel a h only barely They used a lot of weapons that consu hirew on tree

「Although, it was really just barely Even they who believe that the developy will turn all iood as expected……」

The developy still couldn’t catch up in order to defeat a divine spirit Although, if they succeeded to repel a divine spirit, they would surely able to defeat it too Right noas necessary for theotiate with us」

「Aa~, I see Was it the salvation plan to return the spirit eleiveness?」

In respond to Shia’s words, it was his ain who cut in with a sternly handsouys are really a race that know no shaly and even accept having the spirit ele collected, but at the botto fiercely……so has to be done about them as soon as possible」

‘Even if the demon race had to be destroyed……’, such words were explicitly conveyed

Also, with the deotiation, naturally it was necessary to increase the feasibility of the salvation plan

That was,

「That’s where the hero comes in then」

「The star tree……the north of the continent It’s the gigantic tree located at a solitary island across the sea that is called the “land of the beginning” It’s an existence that is said to be the first one to produce the spirit element, it’s also said to be the very will of this world Also, it is called as theto a manifested divine spirit, the drastic consu the star tree remarkably

At this rate the star tree would perish and the balance of the natural world would also greatly crumble, the divine spirit said

Therefore, there was already no more time for delay, the star tree, and then the divine spirits decided to destroy the mankind

But, at that time Shia’s rabbit ears suddenly twitched in reaction to so

With a really natural movement, she aimed Vire Drucken in bombardmentbullet flew along with an explosive sound The horses neighed and the royal guard captain Greg as riding right nearby along with the other guards were shocked

At the same ti out fro that looked like a dull yellow geot bloay and reflected the ly

「Ah, sorry I interrupted you The ani intent so I unconsciously」

「Ah, pardon us foryou bother with that」

Louis-san said thanks even while getting a little bit of cold sweat

Fro’s masculine face silently peeked inside

「……Shia-saies」

「No no, it’s like a conditioned reflex foraway your job」

「……No That was ’s lips loosened slightly and he nodded He iave instruction

「That’s surprising……Greg-sama just smiled」

Dahlia went 「My!」 with her hands pressed on her cheeks while saying such thing

「Eh? It’s so? He is huh」

Even a certain vampire princess as believed to have default expressionless face toward other people was actually a really happy-go-lucky in the inside She wouldn’t laugh loudly or anything, but her expression was quite abundant in front of relatives

However, Greg-san’s expressionless level seemed to far surpass the va divine spirit is still higher than hi」

「Just how expressionless he is!?」

The sound of clearing throat 「Cough」 could be heard fro-san to not say needless thing

Dahlia leaned closer to whisper into Shia’s ear and said 「Greg-saood, so surely he could hear Shia-sama’s words just now」 She added that perhaps his attitude was softening because Shia became a little bit cooperative

‘I see’, Shia nodded in acceptance

Louis smiled wryly while returned the talk on its track

「It’s a nice ti, Shia-sama About the beast just now, that wasn’t a mere animal It was a special beast that is called spirit beast It can use the power of spirit」

That spirit beast was exactly their pri us The path to the north is lived by great number of spirit beast Currently they willto the north」

「Naturally, the spirits beasts will get stronger the closer we are to the north isn’t it? Also, it feels like the celestial-san and even the divine spirit-san will naturally come out too」

「Exactly」

In other words, their reason for su open the path

It was in order to return spirit stone, gem that could store spirit element back to the star tree And then it was for the sake of obtaining the last chance to beg for mercy toward human

Because with just themselves they wouldn’t be able to overcoreat number of spirit beasts and the divine spirits

「……That’s why, Shia We are asking――」

「Your way of calling」

「Shia, dono- Can we ask for your cooperation?」

Shia wiggled her rabbit ears uneasily at the question of his majesty Eric that was filled with expectation and anxiety

「I cannot give any guarantee」

「Tsu……」

His ritted his teeth at Shia’s blunt words

「But――」

Shia was going to continue, however, her rabbit ears reacted once more and her words stopped

「? What’s thethat the weather is a bit bad……」

There was a low sound that resembled earth tremor There was also the existence of spirit beast, so Shia strengthened her rabbit ear’s hearing, even so it was a sht after that,

「Eric!」

「Phil, what’s the matter?」

Outside theat Eric’s side, the one who appeared upside doas the frivolous looking green haired young man――Phil Espion

In theforce, at the same tience corps This time too he went ahead of te path to confirer, and it see

He leaped to above the horse coach and peeked inside from theupside down That was just how hurried he was

「I can see flash of lightning fro fro toward the direction of the capital」

「-!?」

His majesty Eric immediately pushed Phil aside and took his head out froh there were some clouds, the sky was really clear as far as the eye could see The light of the ht the wind directly blew froht range that was generating flash of lightning fiercely, no sign whatsoever could be seen froht sky

And then, what clinched it was……

「I used spirit communicator but to contact 」

Spirit co spirit ele the vibration of spirit element It was a convenient tool, but actually five kilo in super long range, personnel to relay the verbalby to serve as relay by hiding in the village or hideout along the road until the capital, but it seerid

「Shia! Can you ride a horse!?」

‘The way you call’, Shia tried to warn, but she read the at, while thinking that later she would beat the way he should call her into his body

「Abandon the horse coach! Everyone, we are returning to the capital in full speed!」

Hishim, the horse coach was iot down froot down, the horses were iot on one of thehts rode on the other horses, and the conspicuously splendid horses they were riding until noere handed to Eric and others It seemed those horses were only teinally they were the horses of his s about the circumstance, but she closed her mouth when his majesty Eric reached out his hand toward her with a serious face

He looked really tense

「Ride in front of me, Shia!」

「Even the patience of saint will eventually run out you know?」

Shia looked reproachfully at hisher without honorific while quickly dodging his hand that was trying to pick her up

And then, her treasure warehouse lit up

「Tha, that’s?」

Not only his majesty Eric, everyone also opened their eyes wide

「It’sthat, Shia cut short the explanation and straddled her partner

Yes, Shia’s partner that was handed over to her fro with polices late at night in the city

The ic powered motorcycle – Schutaif!

※Good child must not imitate it Let’s adhere to the traffic rule!

「Co in a daze like that! It’s so!」

「Ah, yes……」

Hisin a lost in the air and cleared his throat once

He pulled hiave the order

One hour of riding after that

The horses seeood speed Their endurance seen of fatigue

Like that several black s to the sky caot was a village that was turned into ash There was no house that retained its original shape, there were several craters on the ground, and the fields were ravaged

And then, there was offensive s the nose……

Shia knew

This smell

In the past, when they were pursued by the ehter

Yes, the smell of her burnt family――

The smell of burnt people

「……Louis! Leave behind several people who can use healing art! Search for survivor!」

「By your will!」

His majesty Eric bit his lip Louis accepted that royal edict and sent hand sign to his subordinate

They didn’t slon the speed of their horses and passed through the destroyed village

The black cloud seeht to the royal capital as expected There was no sign of the up

That stimulated the anxiety of his majesty Eric and his subordinates even further It made them felt vexation that made them want to scratch off their chest

「……Eric-san Is this what got ht That is truly the divine punishh to spit out Shia drove Schutaif in parallel with hiaze becao ahead?」

「What?」

Histhose words that were filled with unexpected strong will

The straightforward eyes of Shia as looking up from the position that was lower than the horseback caused his ulp

It felt like his heart junored it and asked

「……Is it okay?」

Shia h she had bitten so bitter, it was an expression that was hard to describe

「I have said that I’ll at least help persuading my family As expected , I won’t be able to sleep well if everyone get turned into ash before that」

She was unable to be as decisive as Hajiree of a certain hero

She would face what cath for the sake of the future that she wouldn’t regret

That was Shia

If she didn’t know anything about the circumstance, she could also pretend to not know

However, she had heard the circu like 「As I thought this look bad so I’ll run away」 here……

――It’s a promise after all

The wound in heart Important memory Shia’s pride

His s, but he see and nodded

And then,

「Pursue the thunder cloud That way is the capital ……Please, Shia」

「Your way of calling」

「Ah, yes ……Shia, dono」

His majesty Eric felt quiet scared at Shia whose face beca twitching face, Shia step fully on the accelerator

She advanced in a speed that left behind even the wind

Shia explosively advanced using the autoic and the deployment of barrier path that made it also possible to run in es that were siroan of even a single survivor even when she focused her rabbit ears

She wondered just howof such thing, her rabbit ears finally heard a clear thunder She leaped to the sky and accelerated further

Before long, she could see at the other side of a large hill There……

「……This is terrible」

It was a large capital blazing in fla loudly

The outside and inside the city walls were blazing up Lightning was attacking unceasingly A beat after the thunder there would be explosive sound ringing out, each tie building at the center――most likely that was the palace That place was covered by a shining do

However, each ti that fell like intense rain, the doreatly bend and flicker, its scale was reduced little by little It was only a probleot destroyed

Instantly

A clear vision crossed Shia’sthat pierced herself like spear

「――!!」

She instantly leaped back At the sa spear

Schutaif was blohile scattering away broken pieces at the same time with a thunderous roar

「Aa!! My Schutaif-taaann!? Even though it’s a new one that I asked Hajier that al that could beat having one’s new vehicle getting daht while turning her gaze ahead, there,

『So you co htning that was taking human form, a man with terrific body build His upper body was naked, while his lower body earing so loose that looked like hakama His voice was like heavy bass sound but there was no disco it, however, it felt like the voice resounded directly inside the brain

Shia went 「Uhee」 at the pressure she felt and her face grimaced

There was no doubt He was equal or superior coh, he was far od’s apostle It looked like he also had abundant emotion

Even now his face looked really sad

And then, he threw a gigantic lighting spear while still looking sad

「Waah!?」

She could see the vision of death oncean instant before the lightning spear was thrown But, instantly she could see her death by a hand strike that pierced her chest froht desuu!?」

Shia forcefully twisted her body and dodged

At the corner of her sight, she could see the sparking good lookinght pashi sound

At the sae thunder strike froe

Vision of death

Evade

Vision of death

Evade

「――–!!」

The verge of death after so long There wasn’t even any tis like counterattack was out of question

She h the descending scythe of death god She relied only on the notification of the future sight and continued to dodge the lightning fast death!

Seen fro in thethe dry sound pasha, the good looking ht distance away

『Oh child of another world Please stop struggling』

「Fuu fuu I cannot agree to that――divine spirit-san」

He was truly a divine spirit The avatar of lightning No, perhaps he was the very lightning cloud that covered this capital

Shia caught her breath while trying to say sorant you a tranquil death』

「No, before that you see, perhaps repairing this world is――」

『Oh child of another world Oh pitiful child Please forgive my powerlessness that is unable to return to where you should belong』

「Hello? Are you listening? You know, soon someone will come to pick me――」

『Now, close your eyes Feel peace I won’t let you feel pain』

No good The talk didn’t go through at all

In a differentfrom the celestial race

Shia realized He was undoubtedly within the category of “god”

He felt sadness He even felt pity He even respected the weight of life and watched over the quarreling people even while feeling pain in his heart

However, his decision was absolute

There was no ground there for man’s will to intervene

He was truly, the personification of unreasonableness

The decision of god, was absolute

「Haha……I’ve really done it I made a really stupid choice even forher so he would not blame her, even so it felt like Yue would scold her

She easily made her conclusion just because the first enemy wasn’t any problehtiness……

Because, look

The vision of death was flooding her head so much like this

That hy,

『Oh child of another world Oh child of man This is for the world Perish』

「Hah! I refuse」

Shia grinned widely and fearlessly, and swung Vire Drucken

A sound that tore through the air burst out before it was tapping lightly on her shoulder

「If there is no choice but to fight then I can only fight I will acquire the right to live without fail」

As a od was unreasonable

The decision of god was unreasonably absolute

Especially……

「I don’t give any damn whether you are divine spirit or whatever This littleas that “absolute” wasn’t beaten to death by even ic power that shook the atmosphere pierced to the sky It was a beautiful torrent with faint bluish white color

The divine spirit’s expression changed slightly for the first tiirl threw at hi that divine spirit, Shia’s rabbit ears stood up straight,

「I’ll rabbit you up! Desuu!!」(TN: Honestly, I don’t really kno to translate this sentence In the raw the words are ‘うっさうさにしてやんよ！　ですぅ！’ It’s read ‘Ussa usa ni shiteyanyou! Desuu!’ The word usa is taken fro word in Japan without clear , only that it’s related to rabbit Froh you up or I’ll mess you up, but I don’t kno to include the rabbit implication in the translation like that Tell me if you have any better idea)

She howled powerfully as though to bloay the lightning cloud
