Monster no Goshujin-sama

Nineteen.

The mansion of the high priest Gert-Kügeler was located close to the cathedral.

Stepping out of the carriage in front of an old mansion that gave a sense of history, Kato Mandarin looked around.

There are no signs of people in the neighborhood.

Harrison's arrival was the reason why he had been tipped off and paid in advance.

This seems to be what Gert was directing his family to do in his lifetime.

It would be a measure to avoid inadvertently spreading the knowledge involved in the truth of the world.

It would not have been convenient if we had made ourselves accompanied by Gabella.

"See you, Vegetable. I'll wait here."

"Yes, please"

I followed your hand washing sunflower so far, I had to wait outside.

I also feel just so sorry for him, but he seemed rather burned by his sense of purpose.

"Guards, let's do our best!

I punched my fist in my hand and I sucked. I am speaking to the knight who came with the guard.

It still seemed fun, so I decided to avoid imitating it like I was giving it water.

With the rest of us, we step into Gert's mansion.

By the way, the wheelchair Harrison rode in was pushed by Gordon.

I was busy giving instructions to the Knights in the absence of the captain, but when I heard Harrison was visiting Gert's mansion, he flew in.

On Harrison's guidance that he had been here many times, the line traveled to Gert's private room.

However, this was not yet the place of destination.

"This is the magic tool I kept from Master Gert."

That said, Harrison took out the key.

"When Master Gert died in an accident or illness, I was entrusted with the rest so that his knowledge would not be lost. This is the key. As an insurance policy for when I was taken away, I was unable to use it for the duration of my life..."

Once he meditated to mourn the deceased, Harrison shed his magic on the key in his hand.

"Ho."

Gabella gave a small, admirable voice.

On the floor of the room, a staircase appeared that stretched neglectfully underground.

"I see, I see. It's a big deal. This wasn't a phantom hiding the stairs."

"Do you understand? It's a magic tool that creates space."

Garbera narrowed her eyes when Harrison answered.

"Is it different from the other world?

"In principle, it would be the same. It just has nothing to do with 'the cornerstone of the world'. It is the legacy of a brave man created by one of the brave men of history. It has only very limited powers, but enough to hide top-secret material"

As the words put it, unlike the vast otherworlds, the stairs were short, and the rooms that lay ahead were small.

When I dotted the lamp, I could see many books lined up on the wall.

"Is this everything, the material?

Look around, Rose said.

"Well, it's going to take a lot of time to find out."

"If you've seen it all through, you've got it. But you probably don't have to."

Harrison said so, instructing Gordon to start searching the bookshelves.

"You said that Master Gert was codifying about the true record of the world gathered in this room. Think about taking over, and the materials you'll need most must be put together."

Without taking much time, I pulled out one book.

"This is it."

Harrison glanced at the parallax and the book.

Let one snort.

"It's Master Gert's letter. We're still on the way, but it looks like 80% of them are written."

Maybe Gert was going to let Harrison read this at the finished dawn.

"I'm going to have to codify the rest... but now you should check the contents first"

Harrison began to look through the book he put over his knees.

The book is quite thick

Skip reading what you know, it'll take a while.

With that in mind, suddenly Kato Mandarin looked around.

And I leaned my neck.

"Mr. Rose?

Because she accidentally looked back at the door of the room she had just come to.

"What's wrong?"

"Now, what..."

Hold your chest down as you say.

Seeing that look, I picked it up.

We've only been close since the days when we were still on top of each other, and since we got the pass, we know so we can take what we think of each other.

"Did you feel anything? Hey, what's up, seniors?

Myself with a path connected and shallow sun, or a lot of clutter, Gabella, isn't very good at drawing their opponent's condition from the path connection.

Rose is more affectionate with the pass among his peers in that regard.

Nevertheless, this time it is different worlds to have opponents, even though they are very distant.

Feeling something on the path is unrealistic.

"... no. It must be your fault."

"Really?"

Rose ended up saying that, too, but I got a little concerned.

Because she just seemed so strong in the nature of protecting the Lord that it didn't seem strange to be sensitive to that crisis.

……

With the magic tools of distance communication, it is not impossible to check for cheapness.

Nevertheless, depending on the timing, the communication from this one was to be made only in case of emergency, as it could interfere with the performance of the operation.

What's the matter?

She was the one to think about it, but never executed it.

"What the..."

Because a low groan sounded.

I immediately turned my gaze back.

I dropped my eyes on a book I put on my lap and there was a frozen Harrison figure.

"Hard to believe. But surely, is it possible?

Alone with the blubber.

My eyes followed the same page over and over again.

Trembling lips spun out the words.

"There is a 'precedent'. Certainly nowhere, such as the assurance that 'he' is the only absolute one. If you ask me, I can snort. The question also comes with an explanation. But, because it's too..."

"Hey. What's going on, Harrison? Let's talk."

Gerbera spoke out slightly irritated when she heard a crush that didn't get the guidelines.

So, Harrison finally seemed to return it to me.

I'll give you a face.

The expression was terribly tense.

Words spilled out of my dry lips.

"'Connector'"

"... what?

"It was written here about a being called that"

The tone of telling swept away and made me feel somewhere ominous.

Connectors.

What makes a man like Harrison so wary of being so called?

Harrison continued as he was gazed at by everyone on the spot.

"Apparently it was originally advocated as a hypothesis. The first brave men arrived at the truth of the world and intervened there. He is the one who defined the way the world is today, and in a way, he can also say that he created the world as it is. It is therefore also the subject of the greatest faith. But whoever made this hypothesis, knowing the disrespect, dared to see him as merely one capable man."

If you try to be the inhabitant of this world, the first brave men are too special.

It is normal that even those who take holiness for granted and who know the truth about the world will really give special attention to its greatness, which has supported the world to this day.

But such perceptions lose sight of things when they do.

Though he exchanged rare abilities and feats, he is only one of the capable.

Whoever advocated this theory must have looked at the world with a very sober gaze.

That's why I could have realized the danger.

"Not only did the first brave men arrive at the truth of the world, but they had the power to intervene there. Rather, it would have been only with such power that we could have reached the truth. Capable persons of such nature are called 'connectors'"

Harrison slipped his finger on the paper of the book he placed on his lap.

"And if you're only going to see the first brave man as one of the transferees, that's not necessarily his only privilege"

"I mean... there are others who have the same power?

Kato Makoto felt incredible and mouthed the matter suggested.

Just think about it, it wasn't impossible.

With the exception of Warrior, nothing is the same in the abilities of the metastasizers.

However, it is possible to have very similar abilities.

For example, the brave man who was the companion of the crustacean dragon Malvina and the 'dragon man' Shijiya Jingu had powers of the same nature in the sense of 'changing his body to a dragon', even though they were technically different abilities.

By the same token, it's no surprise that someone with the power to connect to the world exists somehow.

Because…….

"... No way"

Kato Makoto said breathlessly.

"Are you saying that someone capable of being a 'connector' was among the transferees this time?

Harrison's story was a suggestion of its potential.

It might also have seemed like a flying story.

But she didn't forget why she came here in the first place.

"That's why the humans who gave information to Shi Chiya Jingu knew about the truth about the world? I knew the location of 'The Foundations of the World' because of it too......?

Originally, they came here in search of clues as to how Jingu Shi Chiya got information about the truth about the world.

In that regard, 'connectors' do not need to get information from people who kept the truth secret, like Harrison and Gert.

No means of cover-up makes sense.

Because, like the first brave men, they can get there on their own.

That way, the biggest question in this case will be resolved.

It will be......

That's how I see it, it was the worst development.

It is a difficult 'cornerstone of the world' to handle even Harrison, who has the power to cross the majority of brave men, but it is likely to be used if it is the same 'connector' as the first brave men.

The problem is that it was its' connectors' who turned Shi Chiya Jingu to different worlds in this case.

If that wasn't just a delightful offender, it would be very bad.

"… contact seniors"

There is a connection between Shijiya Jingu and "Connector".

Then a 'connector' may be on his way to where he robbed the 'Door of the Other World'.

Alternatively, it could even have already broken into the other world.

No. Worst case scenario, maybe one of the Shrine Superintendent's people is.

Because we have to tell them as soon as possible.

Think about it, take out the magic tools of long-range communication without hesitation.

- As a 'worst development', the concern raised by Kato Mandarin in my mind could be said to be reasonable.

For example, "King of the Demon Army" Kudo Lu has successfully broken into the other world in line with Takahiro Mashima's actions.

Also, Koji Hibiya, an "absolute amputation", had been distracted by Shi Chiya's people in the Shrine.

Just like them, there was a good chance that 'connectors' were breaking into the other world.

Most importantly, in conclusion, this was not the case in reality.

It wasn't.

... I wish it was.

Because that was never the 'worst development' or anything like that.

The real worst is here.

Through the three different realms, the place of destination reached.

I thought Shichiya Jingu cornered a changed evil dragon, right after that.

"... Huh?

Who was it that gave the surprise, fulfilled?

It happened only a few seconds ago.

An unthinkable evil dragon attack accidentally struck out a crystal that floated an ancient castle and activated a defensive mechanism.

Too unlucky.

As such, everyone in Takahiro Mashima would have thought.

There's just one mistake here.

By nature, there is no good or bad for accidental events.

Coincidences are only coincidences.

There, people are just finding good and bad on their own.

So - there will be times when good and bad will be repeated later.

As a matter of fact, if you put Takahiro Mashima on the line, you should have said this was a 'lucky event'.

Even if that's what opens the 'worst' door.

"... clumped?

The defense mechanism did not work.

Nevertheless, it didn't work from the beginning.

Shortly after he moved to kill everyone on this scene, he stopped abruptly.

"... why"

Takahiro Mashima's twinkle sucked into the soaking bowl-shaped space.

The only person on this occasion who could interfere with the mechanisms of the other world was able to grasp what had happened.

There was interference with the defense mechanisms of the other world.

That had prevented a terrible indiscriminate attack from being launched.

However, it was not at his own disposal, which was supposed to be the only being capable of interfering with the other world.

In the first place, in that meagre amount of time, it was as if he had not made it with his interference.

So it was dozens, hundreds of times more powerful interference that worked at that moment.

So much so that I feel as if I've become a dwarf on my hands.

The name was called with trembling lips, paralyzed by fear of isolated beings and helpless amazement.

"... Nakatsu-san?

The young man, who silenced the defense mechanism by his interference in the other world, was on the spot as if nothing had happened.

Takahiro Mashima's entire line stared at the young man standing in the distance as if he had been stitched up with a pin.

The gear of thought doesn't mesh well.

That was also something I had no choice about.

Because if what you're thinking is true right now - all the people in this room die.

Takahiro Mashima, Lily, Silan, Robbia, Akihiro, Berta.

I can't survive as one.

There's too much difference in power to be so sure.

Depends on the response, it's all over.

Or even if it just moved poorly.

So everyone is holding their breath without moving.

"... Seniors? Seniors? What's wrong, Senior!?:

In the meantime, Kato's voice came from a magic tool for distance communication.

She was moving independently, telling me a certain possibility.

The 'connector' that was leaping behind this incident - the presence of someone capable of interfering with the world.

But I can't afford to respond.

Instead, all of a sudden, I lost communication with the bumps.

It's been put together.

Takahiro Mashima has also interfered with Kanahiko Tachigi's "Aerial Nights" in different worlds before, but this one was more natural.

The young man, who let it be done as a matter of course, made sure to grab his forehead with a scratch.

"... for God's sake"

In a shivering silence, the twinkle reached my ear as clear as it was odd.

"It sucks."

Why, my spine popped.

There was a real mourning there.

"Is there such a boring curtain?"

I don't know what you're moaning about.

On the contrary, I can't grasp one intention.

Why did you instigate the Shrine Master?

So how did you get in the way of it?

Was that favorable attitude, a lie?

I don't know what it might be.

But that's not the problem at this time.

Kojiro Nakatsuki did not deny it.

That was what mattered.

"You're the mastermind...!

At this moment, everything may flip.

Heroes are in disaster.

Hope is in despair.

Raw is dead.

Everyone tried to respond.

But it was futile.

"Oh. I'm bored."

The sword of light is shaken.

"It's over. Anything."

It does not change where existence has been inverted.

That is the most powerful shining blow in this world.

――

And so everything was anointed with light.
