The Goddess of Absurdity reincarnated into a demon. Gods could only reincarnate as gods, so it wouldn’t be strange if the loss of their mories was the price to pay for defying their order.
However, I couldn’t understand why I had no mory.
In that case, was everything related to Arcana and Aisha nothing more than re coincidences?
“I don’t think so. Soone might have taken our mories.” (Anos)
“Soone like who…?” (Sasha)
“The gods?” (Misha)
“The gods are at the top of the list of those who have it out for . But I can’t be certain of that yet. If soone working against could steal my mory, then they would erase all mories related to themself.” (Anos)
In other words, I wouldn’t rember who the enemy was.
“An enemy who can erase Anos’s mory…?” (Misha)
“But isn’t it pretty bad that you can’t rember them?” (Sasha)
Misha and Sasha spoke, worried.
“Don’t worry, it’s not a problem. If all they erased were the mories inconvenient to themself, then tracing those lost mories will lead to the culprit in due ti.” (Anos)
The blanks in my mory were my best clues.
“We can look into it while undergoing the Selection Trial. Sothing might turn up by exploring the Underground World.” (Anos)
“By the way, you ntioned dealing with the Selection Trial. How are you going to do that?” Sasha asked.
“The Selection Trial is said to be ford by the Order of Trial,” Arcana answered.
“Then, does that an we have to defeat the God of Trial?” (Sasha)
“Yes. However, the god possessing the order of the Selection Trial has never shown themself, not even before other gods. It’s a deity no one has ever seen.” (Arcana)
Aisha tilted her head.
“How will we find them?” (Misha)
“I don’t know. Even without gods, the order of the Selection Trial exists. This led so of the underground people and certain gods to think up the existence of the Almighty Radiance Equis. That is, all gods are the hands of Equis. The Selection Trial is an order brought about by Equis himself, and therefore, no one can see it.” (Arcana)
“…Uhh, so basically, the Almighty Radiance Equis isn’t an actual god but a concept thought up by the draconids?” (Sasha))
Arcana nodded at Sasha’s words.
“That’s partially correct. The Almighty Radiance might exist or might not. Belief depends on each individual.” (Arcana)
“Hmm. If the Almighty Radiance erased my mory, that would make it easy for us. “I could settle everything at once.” (Anos)
Aisha looked at in astonishnt.
“Settle everything? But if Eques exists, wouldn’t he wield the power of all gods? What would you do? It would be like fighting the world itself.”
“You’re right.” I said with a grin,
“Then I guess I’ll destroy the world.” (Anos)
Aisha recoiled in horror.
Hmm, perhaps I had a bit of a sadistic look without realizing it.
“That was just a joke. Even I wouldn’t do sothing like that. We’ll just have to co up with a good plan.” (Anos)
“It didn’t sound like a joke at all…” (Sasha)
“Sadist…” (Misha)
I turned my gaze to Arcana.
“You ntioned earlier that there’s a god who governs mory on a larger scale than the Keeper of Dreams. Using that god’s power, we should be able to restore not just my mory, but also yours and Aisha’s.” (Anos)
At this point, this was all just speculation.
If our mories returned, the truth would beco crystal clear.
“The god in question is the one who governs the order that records the footsteps of the world, the God of Traces Revalschned. It’s said that he lays dormant in the Kingdom of the Divine Dragon Jiordal.” (Arcana)
The Kingdom of the Divine Dragon Jiordal. That was Ahid’s country.
“Then that’s where we’re going.” (Anos)
“Well, in that case, it looks like we won’t be attending classes for a while.” (Sasha)
“Are we taking a break?” (Misha)
Sasha and Misha spoke in unison.
“Not necessarily. With the existence of the Underground World now revealed, it wouldn’t do for the future Demon Lords of Dilhade not to experience it firsthand.” (Anos)
“…I have a bad feeling about this.” (Sasha)
“…Sa here…” (Misha)
“You two go on to the academy ahead of us. I’ll inform Eldd and Shin and then join you.”
Aisha nodded and drew a magic circle for herself.
With a flash of light, the spell was undone, and Aisha’s body split back into Misha and Sasha.
“See you later.” (Sasha)
Misha waved her hand slightly.
The two of them left my room.
Several minutes later—
Moving on to the second lecture hall of the Demon King Academy of Delsgade.
The bell signaling the start of class chid.
The doors opened, and with a lively step, bursting with joy, ca the Conflagration King Eldd.
Shin, the right-hand man of the Demon King, quietly closed the door and stood beside Eldd.
“Khahaha! Good news, good news, I’ve got good news for you all!” (Eldd)
Raising both hands and clenching his fists, Eldd spoke with high spirits.
“Today, we can finally hold the special class we’ve been planning!” (Eldd)
He leapt into the air, stomped his foot, spun his cane around, tapped it on the blackboard, and drew a magic circle.
The circle glowed, and a dozen doves flew out of it, scattering ribbons and confetti into the air.
“Today’s class is called…!” (Eldd)
After spinning around dramatically, Eldd pointed his cane at the students.
“The Greater Demon King Training!!!” (Eldd)
A magic circle appeared on the podium.
Dressed in the garb of the Demon King, I, Anos Voldigoad, appeared.
Shin knelt down imdiately, followed by Eldd.
With a thunderous noise, the students pushed their chairs back and fell to the floor, scrambling to bow their heads.
Standing on the podium, I spoke calmly.
“I am the temporary instructor for this special class starting today, the Demon King of Tyranny, Anos Voldigoad. Let’s skip the formalities.” (Anos)
I smiled warmly, like greeting old friends.
“It’s been a while, everyone.” (Anos)
Half of the students had a look of sheer despair on their faces.
