Shinka no Mi

"----you!"

"Elemina....!"

When Seiichi and the others left for the Underworld, Seiji took Genpel, bound with Jeremina, back to Tel Aviv.

When Lanze rushed over to Jeremiah, he hugged her.

"Good... really good...!"

"I'm sorry, don't worry...."

"No, it's okay. If you're safe...!"

Makoto watched Lanze and Elemina rejoice with a gentle expression.

Florio also breathed reassuringly, staring at the two of them.

They had been hugging each other for a while, but eventually Lanze realized the existence of Makoto and smiled embarrassed.

"I'm sorry... I'm so happy..."

"No, I'm fine. I'm glad I got delivered too!"

Lanze shook his head at Seiji, who laughed at him for no reason.

"... no. I really appreciate it this time.You can always help me... I wish I could repay you for one thing... but I can't think of anything. "

"Oh no! I didn't ask for anything like that, so don't worry about it.I just wanted to help, so I just helped. "

Seiji said so to me, but Lanze knew that it was difficult.

Because of his position as King, there are as many titles and territories as there are supposed to be.

However, Lanze understood that it was the Kingdom of Wimbledon alone that gave them to make a profit, which Seiichi never wanted.

It was an unexpectedly difficult expression for Lanze, but I realized that there was a lot of it.

"The one rolling there... sure it was Genpel.Did you catch him too? "

"Yes, I didn't know what to do right..."

"... what did you do?He's been murmuring something on top of the mess..... "

As Lanze said, Genpel, who had been transported so far, kept murmuring his words with a shabby expression.

"... impossible... my power... my token... my time... my time... this must be a dream... this must be a dream...!"

"Ah, ahahaha... I didn't do anything..."

"You didn't do anything to me, did you?"

Lanze said so in the appearance that she was open, but Seiichi did nothing as Seiji said.

After all, it was just a token I created that made me feel good.

"... I don't know what happened, but let's put him in jail, Florio."

Ha!

Florio took Genpel into custody, still murmuring something, and took him straight to the castle.

"Well, it looks like this case is over for now... so what happened to the girls?I'd like to thank everyone directly.... "

"Oh, Salia and I are going to the underworld with Seiichi right now."

"............ nh?"

Lanze took time to understand Makoto's words.

"What did you just say? With Seiichi? The Underworld?"

"Ah... you won't know until you explain it properly..."

Elemina laughs bitterly at Lanze's natural reaction.

Seiji continued laughing bitterly.

"Sorry, I'm not Seiichi."

"What about it?"

"I'm Makoto."

"... is he finally able to split up...?"

"No, it's not divisive!? Normally, I don't doubt it's twins!?"

"I've never heard of twins, and I'd rather believe they split up."

"My impression!"

Makocchan followed me.

It is more believable to divide than to twins.This was Seiichi.

"Genpel's ability to be transported to the jail just now is the ability to produce a fake with the subject's performance intact, and I was created as Makoto's fake.However, other fakes can't be empowered unless Genpel uses his power, but it's... Seiichi's fake, and I've had an ego since I was born, and it's so confusing that I named it, and I feel like it exists now. "

"Isn't he too messy?"

It was only natural for Lanze to have a claw.

"Well, you're not Seiichi... Seiji?I understand that.No, I don't understand at all, but I suppose so.That is the best way to think about Makocchan.But... the Underworld? "

"From there, I'll explain."

Elemina told Lanze about the home of the [Demon Order] that she had gathered before she fought Genpel.

Along with that, I will also tell you that there are other S-Class adventurers being captured at the base.

"What!? I found the home of the [Magic Order]!? And I can't believe they caught the S-Class Adventurers...."

"Yes, I was able to track down the messengers and gather information.Well, the apostles didn't seem to be eligible to enter the base, so I had a hard time gathering information... but it would have been the fastest way to follow someone from the gods, but like Genpel earlier, it was very difficult. "

"I see... but if we find out where the base is, we need to send our forces now... this is the situation.The Adventurers will help.What, the S-Class Adventurer's in custody?Guthulls can't forgive me. "

As Lanze said, if the guild headquarters knew that the same adventurers, S-Class Adventurers, were captured by the [Magic Order], it would be easy to imagine going to help with all their might.

It can also be seen that Seiichi and Al moved to the dungeon of the Black Dragon God, and when they went missing, everyone was desperately looking for it.

"So where is the home of the most important [Demon Order]?"

"... that place isn't normal."

Isn't that normal?

"Yes, they're dungeons, but they don't exist in this world."

"Well, then, how are we gonna get there?"

"There's only one way to get to the base of the [Demon Order]... that's in the underworld I told you about."

"Ha!? Well, the Underworld is... the place to get there before you die!? Then you have to die to get there!?"

No matter what you think, Lanze is stubborn about the content that is too chaotic.

"Each of the gods has a special power, and they should have some kind of protection from the demons, so they could travel around the underworld without any problems.But there's no other way for anyone but the Gods to get there... you're right, there's no other way to die.But it's not just us, it's probably the same with the Apostles, and only the Gods can actually go there. "

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.Didn't Seiichi say they went to the underworld just now...!? "

I told you.

"I told you."

"Why are you so calm!? Seiichi and I are literally going to die...."

Lance has no choice but to confuse herself with something she no longer understands.

"Hmm... but Seiichi, this isn't the first time I've been to the underworld..."

"He's dead once!? You're lying!?"

"Ah, not exactly dead, but transferred directly to the underworld."

"It's better that way first!? What, don't die and turn into the underworld!"

I couldn't think of anything more than a single death to transfer to the underworld alive.

Lanze was already surprised at this stage, but Makoto continued.

"Ah, that's when Zeanos and Lucius came back with us from the underworld."

"Too shocking...! I thought it was a weird title like the first demon king or the ex-husband!"

"No, I think it's just strange to hear that title, Mr. Lanze...."

Normally, it would have been unbelievable if they had said such a thing, but Lanze was quite receptive to being one of Seiichi's companions.This is all a result of being poisoned.

"Anyway, that's why it's not hard to get to the underworld."

"... this is what Seiichi would have said if he hadn't gone to the underworld."

"Are you praising me...?"

Makoto couldn't say anything.

"... well, there was their home base in the underworld, and I knew that Seiichi and I had entered there directly.But are Saria's girls okay?Ladies don't quit like Makoto, do they? "

"Ah, Salia is originally a monster, so she's not human...."

"What's really going on with your people?"

"Anyway! I have Seiichi about the Underworld, so I think Salia and the others can deal with it without any problems.However, I don't know how the underworld reacts..... "

"The underworld is responding... What, are you trying to say that the underworld is selfish?"

Was there?

"No, I can't handle it."

Lanze covered his face.

It was supposed to be a desperate situation, but after asking Seiichi, I suddenly felt less nervous.

Lanze, who managed to swallow various thoughts, asks what she was curious about.

"Oh no... are you going to see Seiichi's parents?"

Huh?

"You, Seiichi's fake... I'm sorry to say this, but you're not Seiichi, right?But I can talk like this, and I have an ego as a human being... so what do I do? "

"... I see."

In response to Lanze's question, Makoto had a lonely expression.

"Lanze is right, after all, I'm Seiichi's fake.Knowledge and memory are well aware of my parents... but they're not my parents.If you insist, it belongs to Seiichi and Genpel?... I hate to think that way. "

Makocchan looked at herself.

Sincerely, Lanze and Elemina can't say anything...

Um, Your Majesty.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Florio, who had taken Genpel into custody and transported him to his cell, was returning.

However, the expression is a little confusing.

"I want to tell you something....."

"What's the matter, what happened to the guy in Genpel?"

"Ah, no, he's still murmuring something, and he hasn't taken any special action... but, Seiichi, your parents are here.Normally, I think I came to see Seiichi, but apparently I didn't come to see Seiichi.... "

Huh?

Lanze and Seiji were stunned by unexpected words.

When I instructed Florio to bring the two of them, Makoto and Isami arrived a little later.

"Oh, this is Mr. Lanze. It's been a long time."

"Oh, that's your wife, Elemina, isn't it?It's as beautiful and envious as ever ~ "

Soon after they arrived, Lanze and Elemina smiled bitterly in their unique atmosphere.

"Ah, it's been a long time. I'm glad they haven't changed... but what's the matter?I heard that Makoto didn't have anything to do with it..... "

"Yeah... it's you."

"Eh!?"

Seiji didn't know what to do about the appearance of the two of them, but when they were just slowing down, he stared at such Seiji with his gentle eyes.

I don't know if I'm seeing any new family from here.

"Yes! That's why we came to see... I can't believe Seiichi could have a younger brother ~"

"Yeah, I don't know why, but I don't know what's going on in my life when my younger brother looks so much like Makoto."

Somehow, two people, Makoto and Imi, came to feel Makoto's existence and confirm it.

Then, seeing at a glance that Seiji is not Seiichi, she laughs brightly at her usual tone.

"Yes, you were with Seiichi just now, right?How are you? "

"Eh, ah, yes, I was fine as usual...."

When Makoto answered while stiffening her body, Kazumi showed a dissatisfied expression.

"I'm a family member, and it's funny to be respectful, right?"

"Hee!?"

"Yes, by the way, what's your name?"

"Hey, Makoto-san, that's Makoto-san's brother, isn't it Makoto?"

I see. Hahahaha "

Seiji and even Lanze and Elemina opened their eyes to the appearance of even Seiji's name.

Florio was the only one who couldn't swallow the situation and was confused, but he waited and waited behind Lanze.

Then, Makoto struck as she remembered.

"Yes, Seiji doesn't have anything to do at the moment, does he?"

"Ha, yes... ah, no, yeah"

"Then come to us."

"Eh?"

"Yes! I missed Seiichi so much. But now that we have more new families, I hope we can all eat slowly again ~"

"I see. Then I'll call Sally and the others...."

"Ah! That said, besides Seiji, there were signs of a new family, and I hope she's with me."

What a thing, Makoto and Imimi felt not only Makoto but also Makoto's feminization.

"So, what do you say, do you want to live with me?"

"... is that really okay? I'm not real...."

When Makoto told her that while lying face down, they looked at each other.

"Seiji is real, right?"

Huh?

"Whatever you say, you're one of our most important families, right?"

Ah.

Sincerely nodded without saying it was natural.

"I don't care if it's real or not in the first place.I'm telling you because we want to be together. "

……

After receiving the two warm words, Makoto naturally shed tears.

When I got the name Seiji, I realized that Seiichi was only a fake after all, so I was saved by the two words.

"... can I live with you? ----- Father, Mother"

In Makoto's words, they nodded with a smile.

◇◆◇

"I don't know what to say... Seiichi's parents..."

"That's right...."

Looking back at the two of them who left with Seiji, Lanze muttered unexpectedly.

"I don't know what it means to suddenly have more of my own family, but even though it's just my son and me... I can't accept it just because I'm confused."

"I'm not big enough to be accepted like that...."

Lanze thinks about us by accidentally replacing us.

"Oops... I'm relaxed, but it's not over yet... what do you think will happen to Seiichi?"

"... I think I can handle it."

Lanze silently urged Elemina to answer with an unspeakable expression.

"Honestly, I got caught underestimating the power of the Order.In fact, even the other S-class adventurers have been caught..... "

"Yes, I still can't believe you caught even that young man."

"But the Church had the strength to make it possible... no, the Gods had it."

"I don't know, are gods any different from the others?"

"Yes. The general facade of the Order is called the Apostle, and it is very powerful because it is powered by the demons it worships, but we S-Class Adventurers and Louis in this country should be able to deal with it without any problems.But the gods are different. The Genpel I caught has no fighting power, but that special power is very troublesome. "

"The power to infinitely create the exact same existence as myself... that's terrible to ask again."

Lanze remembers Genpel's abilities and looks down.

"If he can't control this country... no, he can't control the world, right?But there are other gods..... "

"I couldn't find out the exact number of people, but, you know, there are a lot of people like Genpel.Besides, it's different from Genpel. "

"... yes, Seiichi and Salia's daughters said they had captured their fellow churchmen and brought them to us... they were healing powers, they had exactly the same status as those stones, and they were strange people.Seiichi said they were like executives, but they were gods.... "

"Well, that's not exactly true, is it? What kind of face is that in the first place...."

It was Elemina who smiled bitterly at Lanze's words, but the people of the Order who were carried by the hands of His Excellencies... Destra and Vitore were undoubtedly nothing but the gods who were the best of the [Demons].

However, since Seiichi had just been involved, and all of them had become harmless human beings, I didn't think that anyone could see such a dangerous organization.

"Well, the people they brought in, they couldn't talk, they were mentally broken, and they didn't gather proper information.I don't want much this time, but if I get some good information.... "

As soon as Lanze was about to say it, one of the soldiers suddenly arrived in a panic.

"Your Majesty! I have something to tell you as soon as possible...!"

"What's going on?"

"Um... what about the Genpel I caught..."

"What!? What happened!?"

If Genpel escapes, he's in danger again.

The two men who feared it waited for the soldier's words with a nervous look, but the soldier told him in a confused manner.

"Um... I'm dying."

"... what?"

◇◆◇

While Makoto and Lanze were talking, Genpel was taken to the prison and chained together.

Unlike other jails, which are typical of iron bars, the jail provided in Genpel was a robust and huge metal box completely covered with metal in all directions.

Although there are only minimal holes for breathing, there is nothing else you can't even see outside.

Moreover, the huge metal box existed in the basement stone chamber and served as a double cell.

Sentinel soldiers regularly enter the stone chamber and peek into the contents of the metal box, but basically wait outside the stone chamber, so they didn't know what was inside the metal box.

However, since the materials used in metal boxes and chains have the effect of removing magic and spraying it, magic escape was impossible.

Genpel, imprisoned in such a tight place, suddenly returns to sanity after being alone.

"Ha!? That's right! That monster doesn't exist anymore... it's my power that didn't work well back then, but not here... it's because of that monster.It wasn't like I couldn't reach you...! "

It is Seiichi's fault that he did not understand, Genpel tells me that he is never weak.

Seiichi was right to conclude that the power did not work, but it is not that Genpel's power is strong.

Of course, the power of Genpel would be overwhelming for anyone but Seiichi.

Anyway, Genpel's power produces infinite copies without any conditions or cost as long as he recognizes the opponent face-to-face.

Even the demons they worship are confident that Genpel can copy perfectly, and that recognition is actually correct.

However, Genpel was only able to recognize the demon indirectly until it was resurrected, and since he was not able to recognize it directly even now that it was resurrected, it was impossible to copy the demon.

Some people thought in their hearts that the gods of the [Demon Order] each had absolute confidence in their own power and could defeat even demons while belonging to the Order.

That is precisely what Destra and others have in mind. Genpel was not as easy to understand as Destra and did not have the attitude, but I thought that I could defeat the demon in my heart.

Naturally, they both knew that the demons would find out about such thoughts.

In addition, I thought it would be easy to defeat a demon even if it eventually ended up fighting the demon.

Still, I belonged to the church because I was interested in the highest ranking god in the existence of a demon.

"Shit... I never thought I'd see this... I've listened to the church so much before, but if this happens, I should have pulled my hand...!It's a shame I can't get a new token called a demon... but that's not what I'm thinking.I think I belonged to the Order just because I was able to use other gods' tokens. "

Genpel calmly concluded that he looked at the chains that bound him.

"Hmph... it's very unfortunate that I should be able to hold myself at this level.These chains can create as many free beings as I can with my power.If that's the case, we need to get out of here right now... no, before that, I won't be able to stop my anger if I don't slaughter the people in this country who have been exposed to this...! "

It was Genpel who first thought of escaping, but he trembled angrily thinking about the kingdom of Wimburg, which gradually triggered this situation.

"If I had given up my people, I wouldn't have met that monster, and I would have gotten a piece called a demon...!I won't forgive you, I won't forgive you...! "

Genpel's words were only a perfect match, but it didn't matter to him.

Then the soldiers came to see if Genpel was a bit sane.

Then, peeking through the metal box's confirmation port, he finds Genpel with the appearance of anger.

"Hmm!... Looks like you've returned to sanity."

"You locked me up in a place like this...."

"Yes, because it's a place made of special metals.It's no use trying to escape with magic.Plus, if you're strong, you'll use items that take more of your own health, but you're not particularly strong yourself.Physical escape is impossible.I have a lot to ask you.Be prepared. "

"Ready? That's what you do."

"What?"

Soldiers look suspicious to Genpel, who smiles with confidence.

Because the facade of the church that has been carried by Seiichi has already been carried in a harmless state, so I thought that I could do nothing in the same way this time.

However, Genpel was not sealed off by Seiichi.

"Don't think you can restrain me like this, you inferior creature...!"

"Ha!?"

As soon as Genpel screamed so, one after the other, the black chestnuts gathered around Genpel and became human.

They are powerful faces such as S-Class Adventurers and Vitol.

However, there was no copy of Makocchan who was supposed to be the most powerful because he feared rebellion by producing Makocchan's copy again.

However, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Wienburg, who did not know about it, were in great panic because of the appearance of some known S-class adventurers.

"Oh, no way, you can use your powers in this space!? Besides, it's a fake of S-Class Adventurers... but if they have the same abilities, it tastes bad...!"

To manage to disable Genpel, the soldiers hurried to unlock the metal box and entered, but Genpel remained smiling.

"What a pity!? My powers are neither magic nor skill!It's impossible to seal it!Come on, let's get out of here and show the hell to this country that put me through this! "

Genpel opens his hands and gets drunk on himself.

Soldiers could not reach ahead of fakes that had already been created in perfect condition.

That's because the signs from the fakes were exactly the same as the real ones, and the pressure from the soldiers was such that they couldn't move.

Genpel, with his abusive smile in front of the soldiers, shouted loudly.

"Come on, my pawns! Kill everyone in front of you as hell begins!"

……

When the fakes of the S-Class Adventurers entered the combat posture...

"Huhahahahahahaha-ah!?"

----- I punched Genpel.

Genpel collided with the walls of the metal box after being completely blown away. He stunned and touched the place where he was beaten with his hands.

"What? Huh? Why?"

Genpel, who doesn't understand what happened, is simply confused.

Not only Genpel, but the soldiers were in the same mood.

"Oh, hey? Hey, the enemy's over there!I, I, I, I... "

……

"Guru!?"

Genpel receives a relentless chase.

I had no idea what was going on.

"Nh, why!? Ah, that monster isn't here!? And yet...!"

……

"N, no... no, stop... yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

----There was a storm of violence from there.

It was as if it was all the rage of the past, and Genpel was torn apart by the token he created.

I tried to get rid of the tokens many times along the way, but the fakes that I created didn't seem to disappear at all. Rather, I gradually increased the number of them, making Genpel boil down.

"Why yeahhhhhhh!What the hell!? "

Gempel screams, but the unspoken fakes gently thump Gempel, and if they die, one of the fakes will recover and thump again... the hell Gempel told me is waiting there.

Oh, my God.

However, fakes who wanted to do everything in their power to stop the use of Genpel from resulting in hostile acts against Seiichi were taking action to inform the surroundings... and the world that they were on Seiichi's side.

Without understanding the psychology of such fakes for the rest of his life, Genpel, who had been subjected to violence such as this, was finally unable to recover, and was rolled onto the floor with his death, and the fakes disappeared.

Thus, even though Genpel's abilities had not disappeared, he could never use them properly again.
