Chapter 6
Part 1
Zaza ——, such noise was heard. Tokuteru immediately raised his alert, released his spirit status.
(...Was it my imagination?)
He suppressed his spirit status, finished the wine after meal in one gulp. Probably, it was just the sound of swaying trees in the middle garden.
After Mikado Tokuteru enjoyed his dinner, he did not immediately visit Izayoi, but to connect with alliance member 「Laplace Demons」. He might be planning to verify the theory content he discovered during the bath. Mikado Tokuteru in bathrobe sat down cross-legged on the tatami floor and crossed his arms.
He let the 「Lapko」 who arrived sat on his knee, and told it the reason.
“—That’s all. Quickly open the gate of time that connects to the era Sakamaki Izayoi lived in. He may have already made contact with the inventor of 「Third Perpetual Machine」. We must investigate his experiences.”
Lapko was eating spotted pear happily while listening to Mikado Tokuteru’s explanation.
She was Lapko III who was known as the commander. She walked unsteadily while swaying the red dress she wore, and provided her own opinion.
“Contact with the inventor of 「Third Perpetual Machine」... Ei, that did happen. This is definitely true.”
“What. You already detected it?”
“Detected, this is not the right way to put it. Since I also only found out coincidentally… But, Indra. That has all been past. Up to now there is no need to dig into the past right?”
“It’s not over yet right? As long as the Perpetual Machine’s chronicle and inventor are not determined, a new 「Last Embryo」 may appear.”
「Last Embryo」—— Putting the world in its end, the Demon Lord that would realize the final myth.
Yes, the oldest Demon Lords had all been defeated. The existences that threatened Little Garden had all been vaporised.
Although the threat from 「Ouroboros」 remained, no matter what, their objective should not be to destroy Little Garden. And the stage to conclude the fight would appear in the new future.
“The present where all 「Last Embryo」 had been defeated, the second Sun Authority competition will be pushed forward a lot earlier than predicted. But I didn’t expect the Akashic Record of The End (Omega)[1] would be decided earlier than The Beginning (Alpha).”
“I agree on that. Since the Authority competition also included the intention to choose the person that will defeat the 「Last Embryo」. 「Ouroboros」 secretly collecting Sun Authorities, was probably to get a head start while we hold the Game event without knowing their activities, but now those guys do not need to hide their identities. —— The second Sun Authority competition, will be a head on clash without trickeries.”
“Of course, this is the so-called Gift Game. But once we think about being assigned as organizing staff, we can feel our stomach cringe.”
Hearing Lapko’s bland words, Mikado Tokuteru revealed a bitter smile. Because he could not even imagine her being mentally burdened.
Lapko III continued to enjoy her spotted pear.
“Every realm is busy transferring Sun Authority and choosing 「Origin Candidate」. Since the pawns that could surpass 「Great Sage Equalling Heaven」, 「Kalki」 and Sakamaki Izayoi are not easy to find. We will probably be busy with Game making and building the stage. The investigation on Perpetual Machine could be shelved for the future?”
“That won’t do. 「Third Perpetual Machine」 is too dangerous. I won’t say that it must be under our management, but passing the invention authority to the rightful person that can use it for good purposes is also God Pantheon’s responsibility.”
Tokuteru crossed his arms and declared. As a corner of the Gods, as someone who had fought with 「Last Embryo」 till now, he held onto a sense of justice to watch over humanity not leaving the right path until the end.
“You would be a proper god if you had been working diligently like this.” This sentence already reached Lapko’s III’s throat, but after realizing nobody would become happy even if she said it, she swallowed it back.
“Mah… That’s also true. The whole story of the Perpetual Machine also connects to the mystery of why Izayoi boy was chosen as 「Origin Candidate」. It may be better for you who is the leader of 「Heaven Army」 to know.”
“The reason Sakamaki Izayoi was chosen?”
“Umu. Croix seemed to think that him being chosen as 「Origin Candidate」 was a coincidence, but I have already seen through the truth behind the myth that surrounds him. Since everything happened to now are all closely connected. Including the existence of 「Last Embryo」 and 「Third Perpetual Machine」, let me explain it briefly.”
After she finished the last piece of pear, she stood on top of the plate, raised her index finger.
Mikado Tokuteru maintained his crossed arms and sat upright, listening to the truth she was going to explain.
