Prologue

“Your opponent is the god who once ruled the Earth.”

“Huh?”

I… Tenjou Yuuya, opened my eyes wide at Reii-sama’s words.

“Rei-Reii-sama, do you know about this god?”

According to Saara-san, there was a god on Earth in the past, but…

“Well, I don’t know much about it, but I do know that they were beings that were destroyed by humanity.”

“By humanity?!”

I was surprised by the unexpected words.

“That’s right. You probably don’t know about it because it’s already part of history, but… a long ti ago, God existed on Earth.”

“Saara-san said the sa thing.

“Umu. Besides, the circumstances of Earth’s birth are very different from what you learn.”

“Eh?!”

“This world… that is, the universe and the earth, was suddenly born from nothing.”

“I-isn’t that what they call the Big Bang?”

“Hmm… I guess you could say that, but you could also say it’s sothing else… It’s really hard to explain… For now, I can say that this world was created by mysterious forces, not by any scientific forces you know of.”

“Uh-huh…”

“Well, just keep it in mind for now. Anyway, the Earth, which ca out of nothing, has a will of its own, and it is this will that created and allowed the current life forms on Earth to flourish.”

“I see.”

“By the way, I was born the mont the Earth gave birth to life.”

“Eehh?!”

I was taken aback by the incredible fact she told so casually.

“W-Why at that mont…”

“Because the concepts of life and death were first born on Earth. I was naturally born as an existence that manages dead things.”

I knew that Reii-sama was a powerful being, but I had no idea that she was so powerful.

“Well, enough about . Anyway, all the beings that live in this world were created by the will of the Earth. However, there were those who wanted to rule the Earth. Those were the gods who once ruled the Earth.”

“…..”

The scope of the story was too large…!

“The ancient gods were born out of nothing, just like the Earth. Therefore, they are equal to the Earth. However, the gods tried to beco the rulers of the Earth. The being that was created to oppose them was the girl nad Saara that Yuuya was talking about.”

“I see…”

“A long ti ago, as the girl nad Saara says, there was a continent called Moatra. But in the end, it rebelled against the gods and disappeared with them. And then the Earth took on its present form and things settled down.”

I could only remain silent as I listened to the story of the people of the continent of Moatra, which Saara-san had not told about.

Then Reii-sama raised her eyebrows.

“Well, from what Yuuya told , it doesn’t look like it was destroyed. After all, the other party is a god, even if they are corrupt. Unless they have ‘star power’ or ‘divine power,’ they can’t destroy humanity. Wait a mont.”

Reii-sama said this and then quietly closed her eyes, releasing her spiritual and mystical power.

A short ti later, Reii-sama quietly opened her eyes.

“Hmm. This is strange.”

“Huh?”

“I just checked the situation on Earth. I could definitely confirm the presence of divine power. Those must be the divine soldiers that attacked Yuuya and the others. However, I can’t detect the presence of the gods themselves.”

“What… does that an…?”

Now that the divine soldiers have appeared, there must be a god who summoned them.

However, as far as I could tell from what Reii-sama said, there was no god-like presence.

“I don’t know about that either. Maybe they hide their power well, or maybe there is so other factor at play… Anyway, even if the existence of a god cannot be confird, as long as the divine soldiers have appeared, there must be a reason. Don’t let your guard down.”

And so, after hearing from Reii-sama, I returned to the real world.

＊＊＊

“──I’m ho.”

“Ah, Yuuya-sama! Welco back!”

Lexia-san greeted when I returned from the underworld.

“So, how was it?”

“Well, I heard many stories. Anyway, how is Saara-san?”

“Oh, that’s right! That girl has woken up!”

Lexia-san led to where Saara-san was, lying on her futon with her upper body raised.

Luna, Yuti, Night, and the others were gathered around her.

“Ah, Yuuya-san…”

“Are you okay?”

“…Yes. I’m sorry for showing you such an embarrassing sight just now.”

Saara-san bowed her head as she said that.

So, I decided to tell Saara-san about the story I had heard earlier in the underworld.

“Please don’t worry about it. More importantly, I heard your story.”

“Eh? H-how did you…”

…If you ask how I did it… I went to the underworld… but there’s no way she’d understand that…

Lexia-san puffed out her chest as she looked at .

“Of course, it’s because it’s Yuuya-sama!”

That doesn’t explain anything!

“I-I see.”

You’re convinced?!

Maybe because Lexia-san was so confident, Saara-san was confused, but she also ca to accept it.

A-amazing… Is that the aura of royalty…?

“Yuuya… I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I think you’re probably wrong.”

“Eh?”

“More importantly, you’re going to explain, right?”

“Oh, that’s right.”

I straightened up and faced Saara-san again.

“Saara-san, you once fought against the gods of the Earth. As a result, you were sealed away by the people of the continent of Moatra where you lived, right?”

“…Yes.”

“This is what happened after you were sealed away… As you know, the continent of Moatra no longer exists on Earth today.”

“I-I see.”

Although she probably understood it in her head, Saara-san lowered her head when she was told the facts again.

“However, it is said that the gods of Earth also perished at the sa ti as the continent of Moatra.”

“No way! Then what about the divine soldiers we fought earlier?”

“Yes, that’s the problem.”

According to Reii-sama’s story, it seems that the gods were finally defeated by humanity and perished.

However, the appearance of the divine soldiers ant that the gods were still alive.

Especially since they targeted my house… and probably intended for Saara-san.

“The divine soldiers appeared, but when I investigated, I couldn’t confirm the existence of the gods. It’s possible that the gods are hiding their power, but do you know anything about it?”

“No, nothing. They were completely confident in their own power. That’s why I can’t even imagine them hiding their power.”

“I see…”

While we were discussing this, Luna raised her voice.

“Could it be that because they’ve never lost before? From what you say, those gods were defeated by humanity, right? That’s why they might have given up their appearance and hidden their power from then on.”

“That’s probably it. Or maybe they transford into sothing else?”

Even if you say that the gods turned into sothing else, it doesn’t really make sense, but if that’s the case, it would explain why Reii-sama couldn’t sense the gods’ existence. After all, they aren’t gods anymore.

“Anyway, since they sent divine soldiers here, Saara-san is being targeted.”

“That’s right. The fact that they went out of their way to attack her as soon as she woke up ans that they were probably looking for her as well.”

“Thoroughly. They’re serious. They probably think that if they can get rid of Saara, who was their rival in the past, they’ll be able to rule the Earth again.”

Yuti was right.

If Saara-san, who was the only one who could deal with the gods in the past, was killed, there would be no one left to oppose them.

“So what are you going to do, Saara?”

Luna asked what Saara-san planned to do from now on.

Then, a light appeared in Saara-san’s eyes.

“I’m going to kill them. Just like they’re looking for , I’m looking for them too…”

“Saara-san…”

“But do you have any idea where they are? From what I heard from Yuuya-sama, it seems like they’re hard to find…”

“That’s true. But if I keep killing the soldiers they send, they’ll eventually lose their patience and show themselves.”

In other words, she would wait for the gods to show themselves while she took on all the divine soldiers who attacked her.

When Saara-san said this, she slowly stood up.

“Saara-san!?”

“That’s why I can’t stay here. If I stay any longer, I’ll be a nuisance to everyone.”

Of course, as long as the gods were targeting Saara-san, they would attack again if she stayed here.

Still, I couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.

“Saara-san, why don’t you stay with us for a while?”

“Eh?”

Saara-san’s eyes widened at my suggestion.

Lexia-san spoke up imdiately.

“That’s a good idea! Saara will be safe here for sure!”

“Well… there’s also Yuuya. There’s no safer place for her than here.”

“Woof!”

“That’s right, Night and the others are here too.”

As if to say that he was here too, Night raised his voice, and Luna smiled and petted him.

Saara-san, who had watched the exchange, quickly ca to her senses.

“No, that’s not good! If I stay here, I’ll put everyone in danger…”

“Ara, where do you want to stay then?”

“Well, sowhere…”

“Then we can’t just leave you!”

As Lexia-san said, if things continue as they were, it looked like Saara-san might start sleeping outdoors sowhere.

Especially now, everything was so different from when Saara-san lived.

“If you’re thinking about revenge, I think it would be best if you recuperated at my place for a while, don’t you think?”

“Ugh…”

Actually, there were not many places where Saara-san, who had nowhere in particular to go, could get a good rest.

Perhaps because she understood this, Saara-san was at a loss for words.

And then…

“I understand. Then, for the ti being… I will be under your care.”

Saara-san said this and bowed again.

And so it was decided that she would live in this house until she felt rested.

＊＊＊

One afternoon.

The super-popular model had been called in by the president of her talent agency, Star Productions.

“Excuse .”

“You ca.”

When Miu entered the president’s office, she found the president there.

“I heard that you wanted to talk to …”

“Yes. First of all, please take a look at this. Kurosawa.”

“Yes… here it is.”

Kurosawa handed Miu a piece of paper at the president’s request.

“Um… a movie poster?”

The poster Miu was handed was for a certain foreign movie.

Miu was confused by being handed a movie poster out of the blue.

“Um, what is this…?”

“You don’t know this movie?”

“I think it’s that movie that’s been in the news lately that’s in production, right? It’s being directed by a rather unconventional and famous movie director…”

When Miu replied like that, the president grinned.
