Satou’s here. The term Divine Punishnt reminds of the Bible, but the sayings; god’s wrath, or [hit by retribution] and various allegories exist in Japan.
I’ve never suffered from divine punishnt and god’s wrath firsthand though.
◇
Intimidating voices descended from the sky three tis.
Oracle skill was added to my Skill Column.
Apparently, those are divine ssages from the Gods.
Several words--nay, a word that had several anings reached my mind directly.
Apparently, Gods hold a conversation not through voices but by notifying a lot of people directly.
After a mont of silence, the main subject begins--.
Not just one, several Gods seed to announce it together.
How do I say this, it feels like a hysteric person who can’t explain well because they’re overco by their emotion.
Or maybe it feels like listening to a badly tuned crossed radio?
Voices of agony leaked from the people.
It seems the intense chains of images are tornting them.
Yet, none stands up, every one of them is enduring the pain.
It probably ans that their awe toward the Gods are just that strong.
I’m a bit intrigued as to why I am fine.
The toll of the bell stopped before long, and the torrential images that ca along with the Gods’ divine ssages ended.
So words I don’t quite understand were mixed in but I think there’s no mistake that it’s generally, "Divine punishnt will befall Weasel Empire that has violated the taboo."
However, the way it was told intrigues .
The Unknown little girl I t in my fight with the Dog-head before was able to converse normally.
--Perhaps, the ones earlier were not Gods, but sothing that pretended to be Gods?
Many people have fainted, while the stout-hearted ones begin to stand up unsteadily.
I’m a bit hesitant to leave behind Kei, miss Shelmina and the others, but please let off with just sprinkling healing magic here.
I move to where Liza and Zena-san are staying in Weasel Empire using Unit Arrangent.
◇
"Master!"
"Sa-Satou-san, this is terrible!"
"Oh good, you two are safe."
Liza and Zena-san who noticed ca rushing.
They seem to be fine thanks to their high levels, but all the maids in the building have fainted.
For now, I’ll secure their safety first before grasping the information in Weasel Empire.
I go back to the solitary island palace with the two.
"Satou."
"Liza~?"
"Welco back nanodesu."
The youth troupe welcod us imdiately once we got back to the solitary island palace.
"Huh? Master?"
Arisa’s carefree look seems odd to .
"Did the Gods’ divine ssage not reach here?"
"Hoe? What’s that--"
Arisa who looked dumbfounded dropped the rice cracker in her mouth midway.
Apparently it didn’t.
To think it can even prevent the Gods’ interference, asking Yuika to set up the barrier was the right choice.
"--Don’t tell , the divine punishnt for Weasel Empire was carried out?"
Please do sothing about the rice cracker crumbs around your mouth before putting on your serious face.
I affirm it, wipe Aris’s mouth and take everyone to the living room.
And then, an urgent call from Echigoya Firm ca.
I use [Tactic Call] to connect Manager and Tifaliza.
『I already know about the Gods’ divine ssages. If there’s any problem in our branch offices and the areas around Shiga Kingdom, report to through the Urgent Call at your discretion.』
『Understood, Kuro-sama.』
『Then we will begin to gather intelligence and the analysis.』
Manager asked to hold when I was going to cut off the call.
『Kuro-sama, I have a request. I’d like to grant the right for the branch managers of Echigoya branch offices to provide the accumulated goods. Will it be alright?』
『Of course. I give you the full privilege of the whole Echigoya Firm. I’m counting on you Elterina.』
『Y-yes! Kuro-sama!! I will do my utmost to et your expectations!』
Manager replied powerfully at my slightly irresponsible lines of leaving it all to her.
Entrusting Echigoya Firm to her and Tifaliza should be fine.
I rember one thing and reconnect to Tifaliza.
『Tifaliza, I forgot sothing. Record the branch offices which reported the divine ssages.』
『--Acknowledged.』
Wonder what?
Am I imagining things or Tifaliza seed a bit sullen or rather, astounded.
Well, it’s probably not a big deal, I’ll go see her directly when I find so ti.
I cut the call and sit on one of the chair in the living room.
All regular mbers of the solitary island palace are already here.
Along with the irregular mbers, demon lord Shizuka and the brownie maids.
◇
"Sothings that seem to be Gods’ divine ssages ca in Makiwa Kingdom earlier."
"Gods’ divine ssages? It’s not an oracle received by Miko?"
Sera asked as I began to talk.
"Yea, voices ca descending from the cloud."
Of course, I checked the cloud and above it but found no one there.
At least according to the map.
"Why is it Makiwa Kingdom? Didn’t Satou-sama go to Weasel Empire?"
"I got a report saying that Kei the forr fake apostle was able to use God Zaikuon’s holy magic, so I went there to check on her."
I answered the princess’s question.
"Wasn’t God Zaikuon killed by Dragon God-sama 30 years ago? Isn’t the revival too fast no matter how look at it?"
"The reason why it’s so fast is unclear. I saw Kei using God Zaikuon’s holy magic with my own eyes. The revival is probably true."
I look at everyone while replying Hikaru.
Is there no more question?
"And, what were the divine ssages about?"
"Aa, it was not in a common spoken language, I guess it was like images accompanied by words?"
Arisa urged to go ahead so I got back to the real issue.
I told the words I heard back then as accurately as possible to everyone.
Mainly for Sera.
"Is there any difference to when Sera-san received an oracle?"
"Besides the parts about several overlapping voices and for soone aside from Oracle Miko being able to hear it, it’s mostly the sa."
Sera answered after pondering a bit.
I got [Oracle] skill when those divine ssages fell from the sky, but I don’t plan to put skill points and activate it.
However, it looks useful when I need to negotiate with Gods in the future.
If I just grasp the God World, the sub space where they live during our conversation, it also seems possible for to go there and talk directly.
"So the divine punishnt will fall on Weasel Empire right?"
"That’s probably correct."
There are other problems besides that.
I can’t help but think that the [Execution], [Depravity], and [Retribution] parts in the divine ssages refer to the surrounding countries that have left the Weasel Empire alone.
The [Faith], [Incite], and [Peace] after those co off as, "Peace will co if you pray to the gods begging for forgiveness."
If that’s true, then it’s possible there are also calamities that require, [prayers to the gods].
"Is it, my fault?"
Sera looks at as if relying on .
Judging from the timing, I don’t think the reason is because of Sera’s visit to the Weasel Empire’s amusent park.
If soone with the Oracle skill can unconditionally reach the Gods, then the little girl who was already living in the slum should be the trigger instead.
"Isn’t it Weasel Empire’s own fault?"
"But still, for the common people to be judged together with the emperor...."
Sera shook her head at Arisa’s follow up.
"It’s alright. I will help the people."
Arisa and Hikaru stood up in shock to hear .
"Wait! You’re going to fight Gods?"
"That’s impossible Ichirou-nii! No matter how strong you are, against god is no good."
Do I look that belligerent?
Also, Hikaru was too surprised she called my na in the solitary island palace by mistake.
"I’m not going to fight Gods okay."
Sera openly looks relieved after I said that.
Of course, that applies to Arisa and the others too.
"If the divine punishnt looks like it’ll mass slaughter the people, I’m going to evacuate them to the subspace using the forbidden spell."
The magic power I’ve stocked in the holy swords look like it’ll be all used up cause I’ll probably need to use a humongous amount of MP, but I can just recharge it at the Ether Vein in the Void Sky.
I’ve been only consuming magic power lately, the bill from neglecting to replenish the supply cos biting.
I cut off my words and look at everyone.
Now then, I’ve told them the situations and my plans.
"Now then, about what we’re going to do here on--Sera-san."
"Yes!"
"Could Sera-san go to Tenion temple in the Duchy Capital and once again receive an oracle regarding this matter?"
"I understand. I’ll go ask Head Miko-sama--apprentice miko Lili for the permission to use the Sanctuary."
I’m sending Zena-san and Lady Karina to guard Sera.
This ans Zena-san would be traveling again, but she accepted it heartily.
"Princess Shistina, Hikaru and Team Pendragon are to stand by in the solitary island palace. I think the call for dispatch will co suddenly, so please relax as much as possible."
It was quite an unreasonable order, but everyone consented without complaining.
I’m planning to give Hikaru, Arisa and demon lord Shizuka a reason to stay in the palace even in this ergency.
There’s the information about how people with God’s Fragnt are unable to go against Gods after all.
While thinking and pigeonholing myself, demon lord Shizuka ask .
"Do I need to do sothing?"
"Yeah, I’m sorry but please stay here in the solitary island palace for a while."
"Fragnts?"
"Yeah, that’s right. I might ask you to help like I did recently."
I asked demon lord Shizuka.
There’s a lot of reincarnated people in Weasel Empire.
It’s possible that there are so among them who have overused their Unique Skills and on the verge of becoming a demon lord.
In case that happens, her ability to remove Unique Skill from her familiar will be essential.
"Alright, then let’s do a relaxing sea fishing contest!"
"Aye aye sir~?"
"Pochi will definitely catch parrot fish today nodesu!"
"Then I will catch so black-tailed gull."
Everyone harmoniously left the room per Arisa’s command.
Arisa peeked her face on the door.
"『Protect your life』 okay!"
This ti, Hikaru peeked behind Arisa.
"Don’t forget about 『Don’t be rash』 too okay."
I don’t think there’s any need to use Japanese language there, still I answer them, "Of course" and move away with Unit Arrangent.
The destination is Weasel Empire--.
In order to confirm the execution of the divine punishnt and to browse the slates.
