Clip exposure, the savior Kamijou Touma

Unfortunately...it's too late.

...

At the same time, at the other end of the live broadcast room, inside a certain Kamijou family apartment in Academy City.

The British Puritans who were sitting in a row were watching the live video with Kamijou Touma and his companions. Their expressions changed from extremely serious and nervous at the beginning to complicated and speechless.

They were extremely serious because they saw Kamijou Touma being cut into pieces and Othinus gaining the final victory.

The final complexity and sigh are because Kamijou Touma finally achieved a true victory. He reached the same channel as the Demon God on the spiritual level, and finally made the latter give up the idea of ​​creating the perfect world he wanted.

At least.

No matter what other people think.

At this moment, from Kamijou Touma's perspective, it looks like...

Othinus finally gave up everything, chose to compromise and let the world return to its original state, even though he had killed himself in the video countless times. However... when he saw that the dust had settled and saw that He would rather bear everything alone to restore the world to its original state, he was deeply touched.

It seems like this guy...isn't a bad guy?

The kind-hearted Mr. Kamijou made this comment from a bystander's perspective.

Essentially, he wanted to share this speculation with his friends around him.

But never thought about it.

When this sentence is said.

He was greeted with strange looks from everyone.

“This…did I say something wrong?” The hedgehog-haired boy scratched his head. Although he knew very well why everyone was so disgusted with his point of view, he really felt that this was the case: “Although it is true that this guy made a mistake, in the end, “He” still returned our world to us, didn’t he?”

What the hell.. such a look.

It's like looking at a rare and exotic animal.

It made him feel creepy.

I was speechless.

Until Kanzaki Kaoru couldn't help but sigh and said, "I've known for a long time that you are such a good person, but Kamijou Touma...are you really numb to the scenes of yourself being killed in the video, or is it that the third-person perspective gives you the feeling of watching other people's torment? You have to understand that the ordinary person who has been killed countless times by the demon god is you."

These words pointed out the main reason for their surprise.

The end of a guy who saw himself being killed multiple times on video.

In the end, he actually said something like 'I don't think he is that bad'.

this...

It feels weird no matter how you think about it, right?

“Well, that’s normal. Isn’t this layman the guy who always makes such ridiculous and kind remarks?” Even Stiyl, who had always been at odds with Kamijou Touma, sighed helplessly after hearing this. He threw the cigarette butt into the trash can and couldn’t help sighing. Relying on his height, he walked in front of Kamijou Touma and asked from a high position, “So I’m saying, do you really understand the situation, Kamijou Touma?”

situation?

"..." After a long while of watching this guy who had caused him trouble several times start to find trouble again, Mr. Kamijou was silent for a moment, and then he said in a deep voice: "Yes... Of course I know clearly, this guy is the one who almost destroyed our world, but..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted.

"You're wrong to think so, Shang. To everyone who started the war in this world, this guy is undoubtedly a bad guy. You haven't figured out the most direct connection."

Perhaps he had figured out his best friend's thoughts and struggles, Tsuchimikado helplessly weighed the frame of his sunglasses, spread his hands, smiled, and made an interesting metaphor.

"If a good person does 10,000 good things, no one will ask why he is so kind. They will only praise him as a saint, and define his nature, taking all his good deeds for granted. But when he does something that is more in line with his own ideas but is considered wrong by the mainstream, everyone thinks that his nature has changed and says he is a bad person. What do you think of this topic?"

"But, when a bad guy does ten thousand evil things that seem extremely evil in the eyes of ordinary people, and then does one good thing, people will talk about it with great relish and call him a reformer. Do you think this behavior is reasonable?"

The words were spoken, and everyone was shocked.

This metaphor is just right.

But no matter what, he felt it was a bit complicated.

Although he had no way of letting go of the conflicting feelings in his heart, when he saw that the girl finally chose to give up the victory that was within her grasp, the anger and disgust that had already materialized actually gradually subsided.

Am I really an incurable pushover?

In fact, the boy had doubts more than once.

While watching the video.

Time and again, I saw myself taking risks reluctantly even in situations where there was absolutely no risk.

In the end, he ended up with various injuries.

He was actually confused at one point.

Can we really achieve the desired outcome by doing this?

True.

All of this, even if he only watched the content through the edited images, he had empathized with the scenes he saw countless times in his heart, so he did not have any doubts or hesitations.

But seriously, when he did something that might not be understood by his friends, Kamijou Touma, who was standing from the perspective of a bystander, might have hesitated for the first time in his life about the decision he made while watching this video.

Because...even as a bystander, he couldn't imagine how painful the situation he was experiencing in the video was, which finally made the demon change his mind.

It would be reasonable for him to be angry and even murderous towards Othinus in the video.

But, the truth is.

After the girl made this choice.

Kamijou Touma's true thoughts began to emerge.

But that's not the idea at all.

But it's another idea.

He...actually had the thought of wanting to [save].

This is so absurd and unbelievable.

As a person who has always been targeted by the demon god Othinus in various ways.

At the very end of the video, when all the companions are denouncing how selfish and cruel the behavior of this demon is, and are glad that they can change the demon's mind and have a chance to make a comeback.

He saw that himself in the video was shaken, shaken by the devil's choice.

There was also considerable hesitation and confusion in my heart.

No need to overthink it.

A young girl is about to be killed.

Even though this might be all her own fault, a certain young man could not accept this outcome.

"Yes, all of this is the fault of the Demon God Othinus, but... no matter what, I can't choose to ignore the real reason that led to this situation."

Watching the video, the boy couldn't help but mutter.

He didn't know what kind of emotions Othinus, who was also watching the scene on the other end of the video, was feeling.

But he... is one of the people who caused the twist in this story. After seeing this scene, the uncontrollable impulse in his heart seems to be getting stronger and stronger.

Running, chasing, searching for the knocked-off Othinus.

In the end...he seemed to resonate with himself in the video.

Indeed, Othinus almost caused the end of the world and reset a completely different new world.

But the truth is...she didn't succeed in the end, and everything turned out like this.

so--

So, he rebelled.

In the clip, Kamijou Touma's behavior gradually evolves towards another extreme amid everyone's surprised and disbelieving gazes.

Even if it meant temporarily abandoning his beloved home and reliable companions, the boy clenched his fists again in order to return to "there" with his head held high.

Come on, fight.

In order to protect the life and smile of a girl, clench your right fist.

...Don't get me wrong, Kamijou Touma has no intention of unconditionally turning his back on Othinus and denying all of his crimes.

However, he could not sit idly by and watch Othinus die in the frenzy called justice without trial.

If this was the result of a fair trial, even if the girl was locked up in a dark prison for decades, Kamijou would not intervene.

However, even if things turned out like that, Kamijou Touma would never abandon Othinus.

Kamijou would visit her again and again, and no matter how long it took, even if it took until they were both old and frail, he would always greet her with a smile when she was released from prison. When she had paid for all her crimes, they would walk together in the sun.

This is the kind of battle that the young man has to face.

He didn't think that the so-called "rationality of the world" would leave no room for such a possibility.

for sure.

Kamijou Touma will definitely "save" the demon god Othinus.

"……so what?"

Demon God Othinus. The girl with long wavy golden hair, snow-white skin, and a patch covering one eye asked Kamijou once again as he made up his mind.

"I understand your approach. In short, you are hopelessly stupid, right?"

This is a "sea cemetery" with countless drifting ships, and its internal structure is like a complicated maze. However, the two cannot stay here forever. The problem is not that "sooner or later it will be discovered", but that the entire sea cemetery may be flattened by missile attacks at any time.

"So, what are you going to do? The primary goal right now is to escape safely and secretly from this 'sea graveyard' surrounded by the ocean."

“…Huh? What should I do then?”

"Hey... Could it be that you haven't thought about anything...?"

Kamijou broke out in a cold sweat when Othinus asked him that, and he tried his best to look away. The girl called God stood up slowly, calmly, and solemnly.

“You made such a big promise, but this is the result? Besides, what are you going to do after you leave here? Imagine Breaker is useless against the rain of cruise missiles that do not rely on supernatural powers, and I am gradually dying because of my "fairy transformation". In this situation! How are you going to survive! Tell me!”

"Slow down, Oti, don't be so anxious to get on top! Don't you notice how revealing you're wearing?"

"Don't call me Oti! Even if you are an 'understander', this name is too presumptuous, human! And I hate this kind of name that sounds like 'old man'!"

“No, I don’t mean to fool the gods, but if you mean ‘sounds’, there are probably many people who would associate the sound of Otinu with another word. That is…”

"You deserve a beating! I'm going to beat you up!"

Even though she lost her "lance" and suffered from the effects of "fairy transformation", she is still a god after all. It's easy to beat up a boy who stopped World War III with just one fist!

Othinus, panting, finally realized (sitting on Kamijou Touma’s stomach) that now was not the time to do such a thing.

"Let me sort out the current situation."

“Woo… woop…”

"The first problem is, of course, that people all over the world are hunting me. No matter how things end, they will eventually come to an end somewhere."

Othinus grabbed Kamijou by the collar and shook the boy, whose face was as red as a tomato, leaving his consciousness that was about to go to Valhalla in the human world.

"Then the second question. As I just said, my body is continuing to collapse from the inside due to the "Fairy Transformation" performed by Orelus and others. It must be stopped from getting worse."

“…Is there a solution?”

"Although someone seems to have said that 'God does not play dice', in reality, we can only rely on luck. I don't know what will happen next."

Othinus said contemptuously.

"However, regarding the second question, I do have an idea. 'Fairy Transformation' is a spell compiled to fight against demons. It has no effect on humans."

"…Huh? Wait a minute."

Kamijou frowned slightly.

He pondered the information he had just heard with trepidation.

"In other words, as long as you change from a god back to a human..."

"The internal collapse will stop. Although it will cost a lot of strength."

As she spoke, she reached for the eyepatch covering one eye.

"In order to ascend from a mortal body to a demon god, I took the initiative to dig out my own eyes and sacrificed them to the spring. This is a ritualistic act of destruction... a systematic sacrifice. The 'eye' is still at the bottom of the cold spring. If I take it back and put it back into the eye socket, my uniqueness will probably disappear. I have given up my power before, but I didn't take this approach at the time. Come to think of it, I was reluctant to do so."

"great!"
