“Lusria-sama… Who would you like to be your companion…”
Says the doll without emotions.
With a cold voice without resentment and innocence derived from innocence, he asks his owner a question.
“Hmm… I don’t know, because I can’t see the perfect future.”
However, the doll’s owner responds with a cold and light voice that flows from indifference rather than apathy.
“But what is certain is that it is the most special thing that exists today… and will exist in the future.”
Who the hell is the companion that the owner is talking about, so why is he calling it so high…
“What do you mean… I don’t quite understand…”
A little time has passed since the birth of the doll, and during that time, the doll that has learned new things has grown to be able to mimic emotions even though it is very subtle.
“Excuse me, can you give me more details?”
The owner, showing a sorry expression as much as possible, tilts his head with a slightly vague expression when asked again.
“I can’t feel him exactly, I can’t even look at him, but I’m sure the time will come someday after close to eons.”
Then, once again, he opens his eyes wide and begins to stare blankly into the air as if looking into something abstract.
“Hmm… um…”
What the heck are you looking into… As time goes by, the eyes that become more interesting are soon mixed with earnestness.
“……”
The master, who has finished his foreknowledge, half-closes his eyes and delivers what he saw as it is.
“As expected, it’s a very distant story, so I don’t know for sure, it only looks vaguely enough to tell not only the face but also its existence…”
A future companion whom he didn’t even know he knew, so he expected and longed for it even more, and he had infinite interest.
“My companion is more heterogeneous than anyone else and full of ambition, and compared to the gods, its essence is a very ugly and limited creature.”
If you listen to what they say, they will pour out a lot of criticism to the extent that you have to grieve that that being is a companion to be bound by your own destiny, but that’s for a while…
“Nevertheless, I can only assure you that even such a Grae has a fatal charm.”
She opens her eyes as if she is possessed by her sorrowful eyes, and she recites her true feelings that are difficult to get out of her inner world.
“It hides a beauty that is as fleeting as clear water that cannot be found in any era. It is an existence that can never be perfect and is full of flaws… But it is a pure and clear existence that is not worth having…”
With those words, he lowered his head like a puppet with a broken thread and let out a breath full of emotions.
“Well… I don’t know the details, so I can’t say anything but this.”
Even the face that is sad about something smiles for a while and returns to the usual atmosphere as if nothing happened.
“Have you not forgotten your mission?”
While changing the topic of the story, with a rather serious face, he asks such a question to a doll he has created that resembles him.
“Yeah… if your body is destroyed, you hide your identity and hide among the mortals, waiting for your time… I haven’t forgotten the meaning of my life.”
She smiled quite satisfied with those words and once again imprinted in her mind the fact that she did not know how many times she had emphasized it.
“Yeah, in the distant future… If the time is right, my devotees will come to you, whose path will continue even into the distant future.”
◆◆◆
Man may perish, but he will not be defeated.
That was the realization she gained while studying human beings, and the greatest knowledge that I gained as I assimilated with humans after a long life, met and separated from many people.
Humans are inherently weak.
Biological death is inevitable no matter how hard we try, but compared to God, it is too fragile and finite.
Therefore, to the gods, humans are insignificant creatures.
However… even if they are very weak beings, they have something that even the gods cannot break…
The reason why it was able to continue to exist even if it was the weakest in the world…
Right… Will
When human beings reproduce a race and end their short life, they inherit the universal knowledge and individual will of each individual to their descendants.
That was the reason why humans could ever exist, and the reason why they were able to survive in the world from the ancient times when gods and dragons ruled.
‘I have implanted My Will in the mortals, even if they are unstable, they will somehow pass on from generation to generation and those who will obey My will will continue to appear, no matter how much time passes.’
So she used the human will.
Because as long as there are people who serve her, her plans can never be thwarted.
Also, knowing that it would become a pedestal to complete his plan, he decided to use the will of a human being as a means.
Thus, she created the first people who corrupted her in her lifetime, and as time passed, they gathered and gathered to form an organization…
We decided to call them heretics.
The names of each region and people are different, but the public is often called heretics and denominations, except for the words just mentioned, and their purpose is only one…
Resurrection of Lusria, an ancient being who now does not exist in the world and has captured the hearts of many people in the distant past, but is now rejected as a fallen god.
They were originally derived from her and existed solely for her.
However, no matter how strong it is, its essence will change over a long period of time… As the meaning continues to be passed on, it has gradually deteriorated, and now it is known as the present state with a fixed purpose of resurrecting several ancient gods, not just her. has been established as
And I, too, was originally a denomination, none other than that I was born from her and given the meaning of life from her.
For so many eons, she followed her will, sometimes leading the denomination herself, eagerly waiting for the time she spoke of.
But… at some point, I learned.
Another knowledge gained from living with humans
It was emotion.
At first, I was born as a doll of hers and lived with no emotion, but as I assimilated with them, I was able to learn, to think for myself, and to learn morals and ideas, as well as various things that only humans have.
As a result, the anxiety that naturally developed
‘I don’t want to die…’
That was the desire to survive, and as time went on, I began to question the purpose of life that I had to die for her, and in the end…
“I no longer follow you…! I want to exist as myself!”
Betrayed the heathen and resisted the coming fate.
“Isn’t that the meaning of your life? Now the time has come, why are you talking like that!”
One day, when a new generation of elite members who appeared in a completely different atmosphere came to visit me, I could instinctively sense it.
‘Now the time is running out…’
The moment when the old god who created me, Lusria, sacrificed me as a sacrifice and came back to the world was soon to come.
As long as I resist, fate will come… If I stay like this, I can be victimized in any way, so I had to come up with a countermeasure.
That’s the way I made it…
“Ah… light? What the hell… what happened?”
Just as she modeled me and created me, I also created an alter ego that resembled me by dividing some of the magic that made up my body.
And her name is…
“Hello? You are Aris, I created you.”
◆◆◆
“Because of that, I was not able to be sacrificed and was able to postpone it until now… but in the end, Aris’ existence was discovered…”
As I listened to Arsia’s interesting story from beginning to end, I felt like I was lost in my mind.
“I found my weakness, and threatened me by tying Aris’ life to the pendant that she, who once created me, wore as a cosmetic item.”
To summarize the situation, it was like this.
Arsia-san created Aris to resist her fate, which led to her success in preventing Lusria’s resurrection, but…
“I couldn’t help it… Maybe it’s the parents’ feelings… I had to make a choice because I gave them the feelings I lacked while saying I shouldn’t be like her.”
She gave Aris the maternal love she had not received from her parent, Lusria, and eventually fell in love with her.
“The negotiating condition is to obey orders until we find a suitable person instead of sacrificing me and Aris for the resurrection of Lusria… So, we have tolerated the events of the academy so far…”
When all the truth that had been hidden in the veil was revealed, it felt like the core that had accumulated inside had been released.
If it was because of Aris that Arsia-san followed the denomination, that has now been resolved.
“Then are you going to fight them now?”
He responded immediately without any hesitation.
“Of course, I’m going to annihilate the infidels with my own hands.”
Beyond the firm will, the expression on the slightly maddened expression made me shiver.
“Then what’s their purpose now?”
“Now they will give up on resurrecting her as a sacrifice, but they will not stop.
It is as if the task has been decided, and they will show various gaps now that they have become more urgent, and it is enough to press ceaselessly based on the more favorable situation.
It certainly felt like the charter had been reversed, and now it was almost over.
“They will abduct talented people and haveten the resurrection.
With those words, I and Aris nodded.
“Arsia, I still have a lot to talk about, but I have work to do first, so I’ll ask you later.”
At Aris’ words like that, Arsia-san instantly looked at her with a lingering, faint smile, perhaps the reward for the maternal love I talked about earlier.
“Yeah.. When everything is over, feel free to ask questions.”
Even his tone of voice has changed… Contrary to his appearance, he chose some old words, which made it a little awkward.
“Then what should I do now?”
“We only need to protect the best talent, because a good body is needed for the spirit of a god to dwell.”
“Talent…”
At those words, Aris wondered if she would be in trouble for a while…
“What?!”
Suddenly, with an absurd voice, it screams and scatters around.
and…
“Harold! Come to think of it, where’s Marika?!”
Aris hastily said that to me
Marika…?
I look around at her words…
You really don’t…?
At some point, she disappeared.
Obviously, he had been with us all the way until after he left the alley… From a moment on, he disappeared like a ghost…

No way…!At that moment, the worst situation that ran through my mind began to picture.
“How can I do…?!”
Aris seems to be thinking the same thing as me, so he distorts the expression on his face that was good until recently.
“Wait… Come to think of it, there isn’t even a single member of the church…”
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Not only that, but that wasn’t the only problem…The number of members of the church that fell right away… At the moment they came in, exactly 10 people were captured…
“Now there are nine people lying on the floor…”
“Isn’t there one?”
Also, I didn’t know when it disappeared.
widely!!

Nerve-racking noisesFeeling suspicious, I have a conversation with Aris, but before doing so, Arsia-san suddenly hits the desk violently and is worried with a face I have never seen before.
“Wait! There’s no ‘that guy’ right now!”
Who the hell are you talking about with that guy?
Do I see something in her eyes… When I see them, they all look the same except for the physique…
“The head of the sect members in this academy right now… A man who wants to awaken the Old Gods with a completely different belief!”
How serious is the situation… He shows an uneasy attitude that doesn’t really match his appearance…
◆◆◆
“It must have been here…”
blonde girl standing alone in empty hallway
“The meeting place you mentioned… We were supposed to meet here…”
Who are you waiting for…
“Marika”
However, there was a person who appeared boldly, calling out the girl’s name before thinking of such a question.
“Come on…?! What’s that look?!”
He is the princess’s older brother and the Crown Prince who will be responsible for the country in the future.
“Isn’t your whole body written down! What the hell is going on?”
His figure that caught Marika’s eyes was completely wet with water, and his hair looked moist as well.
“Marika…”
But despite his younger brother’s worries, he approached with a heavy atmosphere…
“I have a place to go with you, so follow me.”
In a slightly coercive voice, he makes an unreasonable request to her.
