A problem arises. If the person you need to accompany right away goes against what you always believed, what decisions can you make after that?

In fact, there was no need to ask questions because most of these questions had predetermined answers.

Going against what you believe. If there was no valid reason to discuss it, it would have been a story that would end in vain.

But what if the person saying those words is not anyone else, but the Pope, who was considered closest to God?

The weight carried by those words would have been immeasurable. Furthermore, I hope that he goes out to practice and disappears, and that he dies at the end and is resurrected.

The Pope had already been semi-deified.

Although I haven’t encountered it yet, there is a high probability that it will immediately take on the personality of a goddess.

The goddess will be there. The truth is that between me and Kylon, it’s just the two of us left now, with no one to trust. No matter what happens to this world, let us go out and live alone. It reminded me so much.

So what do the residents of this world think?

Unlike me and Kailon, who, unlike us, worship God, follow Him, and believe Him to be absolute, and who hate Him and try to pull away, the residents would want to reach out to God even more, so it seemed like the opposite would be the case.

A sigh came out of my mouth.

And after that, Linda’s voice came out carefully.

“I want to trust Kylon. How can I trust you if he suddenly appears as the Pope?”

“… That’s a statement that’s like blasphemy… !”

Agnes got angry at those words and tried to reply, but soon she just narrowed her eyes and closed her mouth.

Rather than asking for something from God, Linda easily chose Kailon, perhaps because she tried to achieve it on her own and eventually gained a taste for achieving it with her own strength.

But Agnes was different.

Agnes was a family of old noble knights from a holy country who believed in God.

So, it seemed natural that if she suddenly revealed even a hint of blasphemy against God, there would not be a positive response.

Still, it was quite surprising to see him with his mouth closed and his face wrinkled and worried.

I thought he would immediately follow the procession and act as an escort.

Leaving behind Agnes, who was moaning like that, Flora slowly opened her eyes.

Those wide-open eyes glanced at Kailon, and then a sigh came out.

“… What should I do?”

Flora also seemed worried.

Since he was a wizard belonging to the Holy Kingdom’s Magic Tower, he seemed to be worried for similar reasons as Agnes.

But Kailon just shrugged his shoulders at that low question.

“I don’t blame you. Because it’s natural.”

As she said that, her eyes opened wide.

I couldn’t tell from his expression whether Kylon’s reaction of not resenting whatever choice he made was good or bad, so I just looked at the atmosphere around him.

The people who had already come out followed the procession and went far away, and the cold air here pierced the silence.

In the end, Agnes and Flora also gave their answers right away.

“I also want to follow Linda’s advice.”

“… Of course, coming back from death may not be something you can believe in unless you are God.”

They brought them here for various reasons.

The game, which was thought to be about catching the last demon lord by collecting reinforcement stones step by step, was soon degenerating into a fight between catching the demon lord or driving out the goddess.

It was a completely different scene from the game Kailon was familiar with.

A world like this would not have been depicted in any route.

So it was uncertain, and that was why there was fear.

The sunset was gone before we knew it, and only vague darkness covered the sky.

Okay, that was vague. I can’t figure out the answer to how to get to the ending.

“… Well then, let’s think about what to do next.”

Kailon must have known that well, as he said this in a slightly depressed voice.

The goal was the overthrow of the goddess and the subjugation of the devil.

The subjugation of the Demon King was actually a matter of confronting the Demon King with the power borrowed from the goddess, but now that everything had disappeared, it was not easy to confront the Demon King.

It was just embarrassing because the difficulty level had increased so much.

Furthermore, the goddess was the problem. I also thought that if it were going to be like this, it would be easier to defeat the Demon King without using the power of the Holy Sword.

She was devouring the world’s highest authority, pretending to be her, and turning me into an enemy of the world, and I didn’t think I could survive there.

No matter how much I say I’m immortal, I didn’t know that that doesn’t mean I’m omnipotent.

Since I was the one who could not resist even if my hands and feet were grabbed, I vaguely realized that the moment people’s attention was focused on me, I would tumble into the damned hell.

scary.

I was shaking because I thought I might be ruined without even having a chance to fight like this.

I had a goal, but I couldn’t figure out how to get there, so I just got frustrated.

As if I was playing a game where I couldn’t find the answer no matter how much I tried, the more I played, the more frustrated I became.

I moved my seat. It was a restaurant.

Perhaps because of his mindset of having to make money, he was thankful that there was still someone left to sell his food.

However, as if it were useless, the only drawback was that there was no guest except us.

Still, I was willing now.

If the owner finishes cooking and goes into the kitchen like this, we can talk in a whisper among ourselves.

Kailon, who was dazed, opened his mouth the moment the owner was out of sight.

“That’s a goddess.”

A word spoken at the same time as hitting the table with a thud.

Then, the three heroines’ shoulders trembled.

It was a reaction that came out because he knew that Kylon would not lie in this situation and that he would not make jokes like that.

“But as you know, there will be no benevolence. You can dismiss what I say as bullshit and walk away. But, if you will listen, I will tell you everything.”

Kylon seemed to have chosen to be honest from the beginning.

In fact, it was clear that if I revealed everything and did so early, I would lead those who had made up their minds in a positive direction, so I just quietly closed my mouth and nodded.

Now, there was no sign of wanting a man or wanting sex on the faces of the three heroines.

It seemed like he was trying to appeal that he was trying hard to atone.

Agnes nodded weakly.

“Yes, I will listen.”

It must have been a difficult decision, but I thought it was amazing.

If you go to a cathedral or church around the world right away, it’s actually like this. Even if I said that, it would be dismissed as bullshit, but it’s a story that could be chased away by calling it an evil spirit, but they believe it and listen to it.

Is this not atonement but the power of love?

I do not know.

Since it was Kylon’s seat, I flinched next to him.

Every time I kept putting my hand on his neck, he grabbed my wrist and pulled it down onto my thigh.

I felt grateful that Kylon prevented me from harming myself without realizing it.

“Yes. Well then, let me start by talking about the situation we are in now. There is no holy sword, and Veronica probably won’t be able to use the holy sword.”

“Why… ?”

“The goddess told me to be her partner, and when I said no, she told me to bury myself here and die?”

Kylon laughed and began to describe the events of that day in an absurd tone.

“So I think they are planning to bury Veronica, who has healing powers, first.”

“… … .”

Linda was depressed. Even if she didn’t completely believe in God, these words sounded quite irreverent, so it was natural for her to be troubled.

To others, this place might seem like a strange group of heretics leading believers who lack faithfulness down the path of evil.

“… You are free to believe it or not. Just because you heard this doesn’t mean you can’t go out. If you think it’s not true after listening to it all, you can just dismiss this as bullshit.”

But Kylon was confident.

He described the situation he was in, talked about what he had experienced, and even moved his mouth as if trying to tell us what would happen in the future.

“If this continues, the Goddess will be able to rule the present world with the body of the Pope, and the Demon King will at least destroy this world. So, as I don’t have the power of the holy sword right now, I feel like I want someone to help me.”

With his voice ending with honest words, there was no one who would leave this place until the very end.

Even when the food came out, they just sat down and started eating.

Flora’s mouth was carefully opened to shove a mouthful of vegetables into her mouth.

“So, now God is trying to destroy this world?”

“… maybe. In the end, it’s probably because there’s no one who cares.”

I couldn’t understand what that meant.

However, Kailon nodded and responded as if he understood what he was saying, so it was a very subtle atmosphere.

Is there a connection between Kylon and the goddess?

Would you say it is different from me?

If so, if that is the criteria for selection.

I also thought that it was inevitable that Kylon would be a warrior.
