Unmotivated Hero's Tale

"Thank you for taking the time to welcome me, Zeth Christopher"

"What, it's our job to deal with unauthorized intruders? But Zeth Christopher..."

The silver-haired young man, who receives Yui's words and has a cropped appearance, laughs with dullness.

In contrast, the brunette scratched his head lightly and asked him to confirm.

"Oh, I don't know. Zeth and you confronted me in that world, and I thought you might be the same."

"Instead of confronting him, he interprets him as stabbed from behind unilaterally?

"Maybe only at the end of the day. But before that, I was the one who set me up all I wanted."

The end of Carlin's path through the back of his brain.

And various manipulations by Turmenia.

It was clear that all of them were set up by the youth in front of them. That's why Yui keeps staring at the youth in front of her without ever distracting her from that gaze.

Then the silver-haired young man let his shoulders shrug with a bitter smile as if he had lost ground lightly.

"Differences in interpretation? Fine, in any case, I'm considered Zeth Christopher in that world. It's just not my name. It is the system that has jurisdiction over recovery and virus eradication that is the fix… Well, you're free to call me Zeth as an easy-to-understand symbol."

"Then don't hesitate, Zeth, why did you interfere with our sekai?"

"That's to prevent debacle, of course. PROFESSOR...... no, not to collapse the system created by God that you say you are"

Zeth answers with a slightly lonely look on her face as she turns to Yui.

Yui, meanwhile, remembered a slight hook, but made further inquiries.

"... even if it kills us humans?

"No, Yui Istarz. Our enemies are not human beings, but those who have come to use the system bug. I mean, just a virus named the magician who defiled, offended, and drove mad the system that he was aiming for."

That word uttered utterly inexplicable.

Yui unwittingly utters the unfamiliar word in it.

"Virus…?"

"Yes, the virus. What makes use of the system bug is praised among you humans, and its number is increasing by astronomical. So much so that this Sekai system can't handle it. This is the distortion."

At the same time as Zeth's words, the surroundings of Yui and the others simultaneously show footage of a space different from this one.

What was portrayed there...... it was the countless streets decayed by the desert.

"Desertification... I see, the kingdom of Zelbein"

"Exactly. You called it magic or something, and you interfered with Sekai as you please."

"I see. So you keep the world, so you get rid of magicians."

Zeth and the others are trying to manipulate Turmenia.

That's what Yui asks to confirm when she thinks about it again.

"Yes, a being that creates and distorts contradictions in the sekai it should be. It is against the will of our God, and at the same time it transforms Sekai into an uninhabitable land."

"That's why you said you tried to eliminate magicians until you received meat?

"Remove as little burden on Sekai as possible and only unnecessary beings. It is for that reason that we exist"

I was not lost in Zeth's words.

But Yui took the matter as it was and could not understand it. That's why he asks the youth in front of him about the people floating behind his brain.

"But in the battle you waged, countless people died. Including, of course, people who can't use magic."

"I know. No, that's why we took the meat. To save the children that he loved a little, and to lighten up the sins that he bears a little. Let's do anything vile or evil for that matter. That determination is the difference with you, mediator."

That's what Zeth says as she stares straight into Yui's eyes.

In response, Yui scratched her head gently as she exhaled a loud sigh.

"I see. No, I don't completely understand, but I know more or less what I'm trying to say."

"Right. Then help us, mediator. Oriental witches are supposed to be responsible for connecting the system to people. And while Irregular, you, who inherit the blood of a witch, should also take responsibility for it. Don't just put your shoulders in certain people."

"I'm sorry, but I say no, Zeth."

That was just the instant answer.

And I guess that answer was also expected for Zeth. He turns his gaze to Yui, who sees something unfortunate.

"... I thought you'd say that. But I wonder why. A wise man would understand what I'm saying."

"Unfortunately, when I inherited this knife, my mother didn't leave me with the kind of responsibility you said. So I stand in this place, not as a mediator, but only as Yui Istarz, one inhabitant of that world. That's the answer."

That could have been called a manipulation if those overlooking the situation had listened.

That's why Zeth laughs bitterly.

Understand Yui's position, but hence.

And we had the expected outcome, but therefore.

"Too bad. I thought if you could help us now, we'd still have the chance to spin the world around us."

At the same time as the words, Zeth slowly hands a lowered sword to her hips.

Meanwhile, Uy, confronting him, shook his head small in front of the sight.

"I hate manual labor, but apparently it's unavoidable."

"Mediator, ask at the end. Death here means disappearance from the universal code. Still confronting me, huh?

"Oh. I hate working, but I hate more people trying to push me to labor I don't want."

With that word, Yui unleashes a snow cut that was her mother's love knife.

The rhythms of each other's breathing overlap and each other takes one step forward at the same time.

"As guardian of Sekai's order and laws...... Yui Istarz, I hereby eliminate you"
