Chapter 227 – The Nest (6)
For an instant, silence lingered around as if everyone had lost their words at my sudden declaration.
Well, it was such a nonsense. Even if it’s a different world, reincarnation.
“… Woah, reincarnation?”
“Huh. Rebirth.”
Iris stuttered and opened her mouth, confirming my words again. The fact that Luna and I are reincarnated.
“Then, no, that’s understandable… The subtle one I’ve seen so far, I can definitely explain it, but uhm…”
Leticia seemed to be recalling past memories. I had memories of my previous life from when I was just born, so I had a more mature side than young Leticia.
No matter how young he was, he was influenced by his young body, but in the first place, Chepesche at that time was not even in an environment where he could leave a child without immaturity.
“Is that what reincarnation is? That I was born again… ?”
“Yeah, what… It’s simply being reborn, which shouldn’t be too surprising. Do you know now why I am saying this?”
Yes. The goddess Mitra exists, but she has never informed humans about the afterlife.
Neither the saints nor the warriors of the past have heard from the goddess what will happen after death.
In that sense, even though it is a world where gods exist, there seems to be quite a bit of talk about the afterlife.
Among them, of course, there is something about reincarnation. Losing memories and being reborn.
“We have memories of past lives. I was born and raised in a completely different world, not the continent of Arcadia, even the memory of my death.”
“Well, is that really possible? No, maybe that’s why the goddess chose you…”
“The back-and-forth relationship is wrong.”
“Yes?”
Adela, who put her hands together in front of her breasts with her sincere face as if she had witnessed some miracle of hers, seemed to be mistaken about her and decided to correct it.
“Mitra did not choose me because I was reincarnated with the memories of my previous life. Because she chose me and Luna, she was reincarnated with her memories. In the first place, being reincarnated from another world to the continent of Arcadia would not have been possible without the power of Mitra.”
“Uh, what is that? … If you are!”
Adela was the flagship.
Certainly, men and women who have been touched by a goddess since birth are closer to the goddess than the saintess Adela and the hero Iris.
Rather, me and Luna are closer to the Hero and the Saint. … He seemed to be thinking.
“The hero is Iris, and the saint is you. There’s no doubt about it, so don’t be weird about it.”
“… But.”
“Before this is my will, it is also Mitra’s will.”
“… Is that so?”
“Okay.”
Actually it is. Mitra loves all living things in the world, but as much as she is a personality god with her own ego, of course she has a preference.
That is, those who are commonly called ‘named’.
Swordsmen, warriors, saints, etc…
Even Leticia, a ‘vampire princess’, who, although she has an unfortunate fate and ends up in an unfortunate downfall, her nobility rivals even those who are ahead of her.
All are literal children, whom Mitra loves dearly.
“Mitra gave us a new role if she gave it to us, but she is not a goddess trying to usurp the place of her beloved child. Because you are a very sore finger to the goddess, and she can’t give up no matter how many times she loses.”
“… For a moment. What do you mean? No matter how many times you lose, what do you mean?”
Anna raised her hand. Her expression hardened as if everyone had caught something similar.
Has it come
It doesn’t matter because I was trying to explain this part in the first place.
“Okay. I should talk about that part. Only then will we be able to explain why Mitra dared to bring us from another world and create us.”
“Wait a minute, before that.”
Mitra’s memory that he directly peeped. When she opened her mouth to explain about the timeline, which had been repeated dozens or hundreds of times, but it eventually disappeared, Leticia, who had been listening silently, interrupted her and came in.
A face that looks anxious. I nodded her head to tell her, and she asked me in a trembling voice, holding her hands together.
“… If Scarlett is a being from another world, does she have a separate Scarlett that she should have been born with?”
“No. Originally, there was no such thing as Scarlett Tepesh. In other words, I am Scarlet, and I am Scarlet at the same time. There is no one else.”
“… I see.”
I could see what Leticia was worried about. If Scarlett should have been born, I wonder if I, who came from another world, took away Scarlett’s place.
Like that, Leticia must have been worried that her real sister had disappeared without anyone knowing.
Because that’s a separate issue from loving me.
Upon hearing my answer, Leticia stroked her chest as if relieved. The curve of her chest was so great that it looked like she had her hand on her upper chest.
“… I see Hey, can you talk to me?”
“Okay. The story has been moved elsewhere for a while, but we should start talking about the fundamentals.”
This part is probably something that even my older sister doesn’t know. She stood next to me and looked at my sister, who was staring at me, then she started talking.
From the story of the existence of the two goddesses in the beginning, to the fact that they came down to earth and were called Mitra and Luna, respectively, Adela, who was deeply religious, closed her eyes as if in prayer.
Of course, the reactions of others were not very different, so they seemed at a loss to the creation myth that no one knew about.
Mithra is often positioned as the main god and the supreme god, but in any case, according to doctrine, she was not the creator god.
In fact, the seat of the sun god that Mithra, who had lost her creation god seat at the moment, had nothing to do with the power of the creation god.
“Two goddesses created the world… Why did you hide it from us?”
“Since the two goddesses as creator gods are so far away, the creatures of the world they painstakingly created couldn’t even dare to recognize them. In addition, there is no need to discuss it anymore as long as you have entered the providential world from an existence outside the providence.”
“Ah… It was because he loved us so much.”
Rather than being distant beings who couldn’t even dare to look at them, they were high-level parents who could be looked up to.
Upon hearing about the choice of the two goddesses, Adela prayed in a trembling voice as if it were a truly touching story.
… Since when did that guy become so faithful?
Yes, as long as she’s a saint, there’s got to be her religiosity. She wouldn’t have been like that.
“Let’s talk about it.”
After that, the first invasion of the demon realm and the repulsion through the arrangement of the two goddesses including the hero.
Everyone listened to the story with hard faces, and eventually their faces brightened when they heard that the first hero had defeated the demon king.
“Our ancestors?”
“I see, from then on, the imperial family and Friedrich were bound as one alliance.”
In particular, Iris and Anna seemed deeply impressed when they learned the secret of the two families that had produced heroes and swordsmen for generations.
And next.
“A new invasion from the Pandemonium has begun. Under the command of Baal, who has risen to the throne of the demon king.”
“That’s what I’m talking about now. However, the story of what we asked…”
“And the continent of Arcadia perished.”
“…”
The audience was silent. I wasn’t surprised when I heard it, in other words, my sensibility was closer to the Earth’s, so unlike the creation myth or the legend of the first warrior from a long time ago, my sister opened her eyes wide.
“——Well, what do you mean?”
“It literally means. The Arcadia continent has already been destroyed.”
“… How.”
“I would have said it earlier. Not Mithra, the sun god, but what is the authority of Mithra as the creator god.”
“… Hour. The law of providence itself… Oh, can you?”
“Okay. It is a return.”
It’s not about turning back time for anyone.
To turn back the time of a world, and not only that, but also the world of the invaders.
I didn’t even have to explain how great of a power it was.
“However.”
“… ?”
“As I said, Mithra had already descended from the throne of the God of Creation. It is not possible for her to use the authority that goes against her providence many times. Rather, as a result of unreasonable efforts to regain her power, she was able to regain some power, but in return, she was caught in the boundary of providence.”
“That, … Wait, Scarlett. Not being able to use it multiple times is, by any chance.”
“Your sister is right. This continent has not already perished once or twice.”
Until now, dozens, hundreds, thousands of destructions.
After reversing all the tragedies, we are now standing here.
When I calmly recited that fact, everyone became frozen like ice this time.
In other words, even through thousands of iterations, it means that they have not succeeded in saving the world even once.
“… Did we fail?”
“…”
“Is that why you brought your brother?”
“… Almost the same.”
Iris bowed her head. It was the same with Anna and Adela. They were given the fate of a hero, a swordsman, and a saint, respectively, by the goddess.
That’s why I felt more and more responsible for what I said now.
But.
I didn’t bring it up to see them downcast, so I tried to appease them a little first.
“The Demon King is an unreasonable being.”
“… Yes?”
“You are the ones who are chosen by the goddess, carry her favor in her body, and grow through her grace.”
In other words, they belong to the providence guided by the goddess.
As long as they don’t deviate from the flow of providence, they can’t attain a status higher than that of a goddess who bestows fate on them.
“However, the Demon King is equal to the Goddess. No, now he is a higher-ranking being than Mithra, who is only the seat of the sun god. It is different from the days of the first warriors in the distant past.”
Invitation warrior.
At the time of the first invasion of the demon realm, the title of the demon king was ambiguous even to be called a god. That’s why only Hero’s party, who had been arranged by the goddess, was able to repulse it.
But Baal is different.
No matter what strategy was used, the case was clearly different.
It was a fight that could not be won in the first place.
“So, I am here.”
“… Hey, I am too.”
“Okay. With my sister. As an irregular from another world.”
After saying this, everyone seemed a little relieved. The faces of the trio, who were gloomily shaded, straightened out.
“… However.”
“Huh?”
“… Then, why won’t you tell me why Luna is her brother’s sister?”
“…”
His gaze focused again.
… In particular, Leticia’s gaze stung a little, no, a lot.
“… It was my older sister.”
“You have an incestuous fetish, really?”
No.
No.
It was really unfair, but it was a look that no one believed.
