The fact that Class 2-7 was transported to another world was not a re coincidence… It was all to use all of us. Drawing the worst possible scenario, reality was truly a crappy ga.
「So the difficulty adjustnt of dungeon capture, the almost miraculous timing of our eting, everything is for the sake of raising the hero.」
「Yes, I just need the hero. I don't care about anything else.」
「So that's why you're planning to kill all of us.」
「It hurts Kotori, you know? Everyone in our class fights with all their might in this dungeon, only to fall short and be defeated… Or so it was supposed to be, but now I have to resort to assassination. And everything is your fault, Momokawa-kun.」
「What did I do?」
「Even Kotori still can't believe that you could defeat Yamata no Orochi without anyone dying.」
Is that statent implying that you knew?About why Yamata no Orochi boasted such extraordinary power, akin to a raid boss of unparalleled strength.
No matter how much I think about it, Yamata no Orochi's power completely outclassed all of us, it turned out it was created to kill all of us.
「So you're the one who sent Yamata no Orochi.」
「Kotori doesn't have such authority. That is created by God, Kotori just made a little 『Modification』 while watching over everyone.」
aning that she couldn't blatantly act in favor of the God. In the first place, the matter about her being a ga master must be kept a secret.
Then, as Takanashi continued to play the role of a classmate, she had to act without revealing her true intentions
Now that I knew about this, everything started to co together.
「So you're the one who made Kenzaki push out of teleportation circle.」
「That was just what Asuna-chan wished. I just gave a little nudge and made that emotion stronger.」
It turned out Takanashi was the one who owned the mind control skill.
Kenzaki did not have good eyes when judging people, she should've doubted her best friend.
「I see now, so It’s not powerful enough to brainwash soone entirely. It amplifies what the person is already thinking, making them act on things they would normally hesitate to do with reason.」
「Raising its proficiency to be able to use it to that extent is a tough challenge. It's a Sage-exclusive skill called 『Idea Code』 but I wonder if Momokawa-kun can see it?」
「I can pretty much guess that even without appraisal skill. You rely on cheat skills, but it’s not like you yourself are actually smart.」
「As I thought, it'd have been better if you’d died along with Yamata no Orochi, Momokawa-kun.」
「It seems that 『Idea Code』 of yours doesn't work on , right?」
The reason I was convinced of this effect was because that skill was used on .
The reason I was thinking about destroying Yamata no Orochi's core with 『Pain Return』 was because this 『Idea Code』 had been used on , not because of my own will. 𝔯ãΝò𝖇ĘꞨ
From the start, I didn't have a self-sacrifice spirit in , thinking that if I sacrificed myself I could bring victory to everyone. If I alone beca a sacrifice, I could save everyone, including i-chan and Randou-san.
But there was no way my instinct was going to allow sothing like self-sacrifice.
And that was the reason I could overco the power of 『Idea Code』.
The source of my strange intuition, the feeling that I must take this matter in hand, ca from my subconscious self-sacrificing emotions being amplified.
But since I ca up with a way to turn the tables at the eleventh hour, I managed to overco the impulse to sacrifice myself.
「Dear , this is why the people loved by god of this world are troubleso.」
「Yeah, it's thanks to the power of curse and blessing from Ruinhilde-sama that I managed to overco all crisis so far.」
That's why I wanted to get a super aweso curse to turn the table on Kotori and save the day… But that wouldn't happen of course.
「Fufufufu, too bad for you Momokawa-kun, this is a checkmate for you.」
「And that's why you can afford to talk like this, eh?」
「That's right. Keeping it a secret all this ti and pretending to be excited or disappointed with everyone else about dungeon exploration is so stressful. It's true that just talking to soone about it can make you feel so much better.」
So I'm the replacent for the hole for her to yell, and the donkey ears*.
[*this is a reference to the story where one yells a secret that the king has donkey ears into a well.]
「In addition, it will be a sha if I dealt with Momokawa-kun without him knowing the reason, right?」
「You have my gratitude for that. Thanks to your boasting I know everything I need to know.」
「Now then, do you understand how Kotori feels as the GM of this ga? Honestly, Momokawa-kun is such an eyesore and a pain in Kotori's eyes. Even though you're supposed to be the mob character who died in the beginning, you survived ti and ti again and beco a thorn on my side.」
「Died in the beginning… So you're the one who gets to decide which classmate dies first.」
「Not really, I have no qualification to decide such small details for the training plan for the hero. I know that since I can see everyone's status at the beginning of the ga. And since Momokawa-kun has no talent, you should've died for being unable to adapt to any vocation… Yet, an unknown, asly god called Ruinhilde ended up interfering in the middle.」
「It's Ruinhilde-sama for you!」
Then I recalled sothing while retorting to Takanashi who dared to diss my Ruinhilde-sama.
When I was awarded with vocation for the first ti— No, it was after that to be exact.
「Vocation isn't sothing that can be given to everyone who uses that magic circle. Failure ans death.」
「My class is truly sothing else you know. Among the 42 people summoned to this world, only Takashima-kun died due to failure.」
So that was the reason Takashima-kun died in that forest with his magic circle note open.
From what Takanashi said, the magic circle that gave us vocation was a risky choice, it seems that the success rate was higher for people from another world like us. But that didn't an all of us would receive vocation, soone dood to fail when the entire class got transported to this world.
So there really was a subtle yet significant perk or boost from being summoned to another world.
Nevertheless, I could feel the malice of the announcer who told us to use the magic circle without telling us about the possibility of failure.
If Takanashi was the ga master, then the person who summoned us might be tied with Astria Kingdom.
「Kotori has no idea what the kingdom of another world thinks, you know? Kotori is just following the God's instruction.」
「So that ans our summoning is solely due to that evil god of yours, Elysion, and that the kingdom is truly uninvolved.」
「That's trivial matter. The most important thing is the hero.」
I admit that Souma-kun was strong, but not strong enough to overwhelm Yamata no Orochi on his own.
He had quite a strong ability as a vocation, but it's still within a reasonable range.
Does that an the 『Hero』 vocation has so sort of perk?
Or is Souma-kun hiding so sort of secret?
No matter the reason, I couldn’t condone a sche that sacrificed us classmates just to nurture that hero.
「No, there is. The hero, Souma-kun, has a value worth everyone's sacrifice. Because the gods only seek the hero. And Souma-kun is the only one with that qualification.」
「What a willful God. It must be for a stupid reason I guess.」
「The will of the gods is absolute, you know? There's nothing else that takes precedence」
「Man, I never knew that you're such devout believer of that evil god, Takanashi.」
「Kotori didn’t truly believe in the gods like everyone else did … But in this other world, she realized they actually exist. And they chose her.」
「Oi Elysion, you're clearly picking up the wrong personnel here. Give the GM authority right now, and I'll raise the strongest cheat hero.」
「Hehe, no, the God chose Souma-kun and Kotori. This is destiny. No one can change it, and no one will be allowed to.」
「… I'm surprised. You really did fall for Souma-kun.」
「The only man worthy of Kotori in this world is Souma-kun.」
Darn, this cocky queen. What a huge landmine of a woman.
Souma-kun, I’m not saying anything bad, but if you have to choose one mber from your harem, I’d recomnd Natsukawa-san.
Our easy and adorable thief would be satisfied as long as you gave her sweets.
The other girls were simply landmines.
「That’s why Kotori is genuinely angry. Momokawa-kun is just too much of an eyesore.」
「From my perspective, isn’t it Souma-kun’s fault for being unreliable ? After all, in a hero developnt scenario, it seems that if Souma-kun led the charge, casualties were guaranteed.」
On the other hand, while my plan wasn’t a huge success, it ultimately resulted in zero casualties and a great victory.
I don’t think it’s even worth comparing which strategy was superior.
「You don’t understand. There’s no point in saving a bunch of weak classmates.」
In short, the rest of us were sacrifices chosen by that evil god.
It is precisely because you sacrificed those lives that it has aning. There is no aning in a sacrifice that doesn’t die.
「It is the tragic sacrifices that awaken the hero’s power.」
In other words, my actions hinder the awakening of a new power in the hero, which could be called an "Awakening".
I didn't want to die. I didn't want anyone to die either.
And my intention was considered as rebellion against Goddess Elysion.
「That's why no matter what Momokawa-kun did, you're just a hindrance.」
Takanashi gazed at with utter contempt and declared,
「――Shaman can't beco a hero.」
