Note: ‘Ryouto’ has been changed to ‘Lute’.

“In actuality, there is your guys’ readings? Try to do rude conduct with me and you’ll just be killed, okay? But, well, be prepared for one or two skills.” (King)

The sage candidates were openly confused.

Was it fine to say ‘it brought about panic’? It would have been a great shock to them who were relying on gifts.

The king sitting on the throne gazed at them with a smirking face, but as they didn’t calm down no matter how much time passed, he gradually started to get tired of waiting.

“Hey? Be quiet soon. If you’d like, I’ll do it to 2 or 3 people more?” (King)

Thereupon, the sage candidates’ noise suddenly calmed down.

However, it looked like their spirit wasn’t here with the exception of Yogiri and others.

“Tsk. It feels in one ear and out the other even if I talk about anything as it is. No way. I’ll explain just a bit before the real issue at hand. Because it is also among the contract to make the matters of from now on understood by you guys.” (King)

It seemed he thought it was out of the question as it was. The king vomited a sigh, and began to explain the current situation.

“The sages look out on as the rulers of this world, but I don’t particularly mean that we are under the sage’s control. So, support of some kind from the sages, like the way to suppress gifts derived from the sages for example, isn’t given. Did you know as far as that?” (King)

Yogiri had heard that gifts seemed to be restricted in the entire town. However, it appeared that it was limited to the towns that the sage officials controlled.

“It’s like that. In actuality, that you can use gifts inside of the royal capital is confirmed.” (Yazaki)

Speaking as a representative of the sage candidates, Suguru Yazaki held the class of general. Of course, Yogiri heard it from Tomochika as he didn’t know their names and the like.

“I thought it would be thus. As there is no reason to come forth in such a manner since you’ve understood that ‘gifts cannot be used’. So, the reason why you guys cannot use gifts is simple. The king has the power to weaken gifts. That power covers the entire royal capital, but that power gets stronger the closer you get to me. So be relieved. Even if your guys’ power isn’t usable forever, if you leave from near me, that hindrance will also go along with it.” (King)

The restrictions of gifts were local. After they heard such, the sage candidates finally recovered their composure.

“For now it’s okay with such a thing. Why the weakening is necessary, and to what extent it is weakened. Ask someone about around that. Well then, the real issue at hand. Listen well. ‘Cause I dooon’t have the spare time to explain it many times over.” (King)

As they were told, the sage candidates listened carefully obediently.

“It is necessary for you guys to achieve exploits to become a sage. The things you guys can do in this country are two. One, is to obstruct the invasion the invasion of the Arganda Empire.” (King)

Declared the king, and the sage candidates murmured. If the country became their opponent, how much of their training so far had meaning? They would be anxious as well.

“……For some reason or another, by just thinking vaguely, truly vaguely, though I’d never imagine it……that, isn’t it something that Takatou-kun has done already again?” (Tomochika)

Tomochika *murmuring* muttered to herself.

Time goes back a little, the site of the tower immediately following the departure of Yogiri and others.

Certainly I’ll at least poop in the nude if it becomes like this again, there is nothing you can do!” (Hanakawa)

“Why!” (Lute)

To the boy who cried out and screamed in the state of prostrating himself, a very young boy was retorting again.

Who was crying was Hanakawa Daimon. He was a boy who was summoned to this world by the sages, a senior highschool student of Japan.

The other person was a kin of the devil Alubagaluma. He said that his name was Lute to the last person.

The kin were annihilated, and only Lute survived, but the circumstances weren’t understood at all. Therefore, he was trying to draw out information from Hanakawa, who had been left alone in this place.

“It is such after all! Is there none, not one, method or something for me to survive in this place reasonably and logically anymore! At best, if you hear what you’re asking, you will intend to kill me quickllyyyy! My ability doesn’t rival yours at all, and naturally I also can’t run away! I guess that, somehow, the appearance looks like a pure very young boy, but in reality it is merciless and cruel, doing things like being killed quickly like a worm, arereeーit’s improperrr, dying like thiss, straangee! I will say something like that!” (Hanakawa)

Hanakawa unsightly cried and shouted. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

Lute had decided to use Hanakawa as a source of information to avenge his Lord’s enemy, but this was not worth considering at all.

“Even while pliantly rubbing your forehead against the ground until some time ago, what was she facing that she ‘wanted to survive by many means necessary’?” (Lute)

“Eh, you didn’t see it?” (Hanakawa)

“I saw it perfectly.” (Lute)

“……No, err, thought I thought so, it couldn’t be helped after all……” (Hanakawa)

Hanakawa said so quite badly.

“So it’s become serious already, it’s only about taking off my clothes!” (Hanakawa)

“So why is it! Really, don’t try to take off your clothes!” (Lute)

Hanakawa *squirming* tried to take off his clothes.

“Eh, ‘poop without taking off your clothes’? It is a clothes-pooping enthusiast!” (Hanakawa)

“Though I’m saying it just to be sure, absolutely don’t do it? Since I’ll kill you if you do, okay?” (Lute)

If it was from Lute, Hanakawa’s existence was similar to garbage. As there was too much of a difference in ability, Hanakawa wouldn’t bear any injuries no matter what he tried.

However, even if he was called a kin of the devil, he’d also get an uncomfortable feeling if he saw something unsightly, and the speech and conduct with unknown meaning also made him disturbed.

“I understand. Calm down because I won’t do such things as kill you on a whim.” (Lute)

So, though he was unwilling, Lute seriously tried to calm Hanakawa.

“Really? But, even while saying such a thing, it was something like thoughtlessness just now?” (Hanakawa)

“It wasn’t. There isn’t an other party to hear the story from but you, so I won’t kill you simply like that.” (Lute)

“Issss it the truth? Even while saying such a thing, wassssn’t it a direction where the boy got mad and forgot about such things as promises? Look, by acting while not thinking about the consequences of things like killing your only source of information, I may try to bring about a feeling that it isn’t ordinary, right?” (Hanakawa)

“……as I thought, I should kill you?” (Lute)

“I’m sorryyyyyy! I thought a surviving look may have come out, I was caught up in the momentttt!” (Hanakawa)

Hanakawa rubbed his forehead on the floor again.

“So, like I also said some time ago, I simply cannot believe things like it was a guy that can kill others by just having them in mind, to say nothing of things like that he can kill Lord-sama with that; it’s impossible.” (Lute)

“But it is!” (Hanakawa)

“Yes. I understand. At least, I understand well that you really think so. Apart from the details, anyway, that guy ‘Yogiri Takatou’, I understand the likelihood that he killed Lord-sama is high. Though it is natural to kill all of those guys who were here as enemies, first of all, killing that guy is top priority.” (Lute)

“Um, that’s fine, but, I think that ‘how you do it’ is the problem. Of course, everything works out as desired if Lute-sama says ‘I’ll kill Yogiri’, and I can also sleep without fear. It’s more pleasant if I can obtain Tomochika-tan while I’m at it!” (Hanakawa)

“That’s right. Even if that instant death ability is fake, it is necessary to assume that the opponent is someone who can kill Lord-sama. It’s been decided that I cannot win at all if that is the case.” (Lute)

“Then how will it be done?” (Hanakawa)

“That is simple. We should borrow the power of this lady that is stronger than Lord-sama.” (Lute)

Saying so, Lute took out something from his pocket.

It was rod-shaped and sparkling golden, and had a complicated shape that was *twisting and turning* warped.

“That is?” (Hanakawa)

“I retrieved it from Lord-sama’s body. It is the key of sealing.” (Lute)

“Um, although a ‘seal’, there’s an unpleasant presentiment? It expressly releases what was sealed, like that?” (Hanakawa)

“Lord-sama is the elder brother god of the elder brother and sister gods. Well, because that younger sister-sama’s deed was too unpardonable, Lord-sama saw a opportunity and sealed her.” (Lute)

“But, if it was enough that she was sealed by Devil-sama, is she weaker than Devil-sama?” (Hanakawa)

“Although Younger sister-sama was on the reckless-side, she was weak only to Lord-sama. She listened to anything he said readily.” (Lute)

“Hahaa, I see. Is it a feeling like foul play? Won’t she be in an extreme rage or something like that when the seal is broken? Well, if it is a person like that, I will excuse myself by leaving it to that person already!” (Hanakawa)

Saying so, Hanakawa who was prostrating himself began to *drag drag* step back.

It seemed that he planned to go somewhere as is.

However, when Lute briskly approached him, he offhandedly grabbed Hanakawa’s hair.

“Where are you going?” (Lute)

“Well, I have spoken about roughly everything that I know already, and if you said ‘I won’t kill you’, wasn’t it fine if I disappear to wherever! For someone similar to garbage like me, I think it might be best to make sure to not to enter Lute-sama’s field of vision and pollute your eyes, etc., from now on anymore!” (Hanakawa)

“Yeah. But, I don’t know that guy ‘Takatou’ well. So don’t be bothered with not following me!” (Lute)

“No, um, Mama said I must not follow people who I don’t know! It’s embarrassing even if it is rumored that I walked together with it!” (Hanakawa)

“Ahahahaha~. Don’t say things like being led by things like people you don’t knowww; we’re friends, righhhht?” (Lute)

Pulling him up by his hair, he made Hanakawa look up at him forcibly.

“NooooooOOO! I have been forgiven already! Being led around again, such things as reviving Devil-sama like that, who is beyond my powers, isn’t a joke! I mean, what is itttt! If I think I was treated good by a boku~ girl, this time it’s a shota!? I don’t have such preferences! Shouldn’t they be wearing female clothing or something at least!? Then, I’m not even hesitant to recognize it as a man-woman category!” (Hanakawa)

Hanakawa said in desperation. Such a thing where he was a strong man that couldn’t win even if Lute did a handstand, it seemed he was blowing off it at this moment.

“N? A woman’s appearance is okay? Well things like appearances are inconsequential though.” (Lute)

There was not even a particle of necessity and the like to respond to Hanakawa’s hope in particular. However, changing his attire and the like was easier than breathing.

So, Lute changed into a whimsy appearance. It was an appearance similar to a town girl he’d happened to see somewhere.

“O, oo! That looks better than the boku~ girl! Weelll, I had thought from the beginning that I didn’t feel what I saw!” (Hanakawa)

Hanakawa’s eyes sparkled. It seemed that he’d completely forgotten about his position and the status quo already.

“Well, as there is no need to reproduce, unlike humans, I have no gender.” (Lute)

“N? That is……which one is it? Are you the type that has both?” (Hanakawa)

“You don’t need things like organs you don’t use, right?” (Lute)

Bang!

Hanakawa’s fist struck the ground with a force that shook the ground just then, and Lute’s hand unintentionally released the hair that he had been holding.

“That is differentttt!” (Hanakawa)

Hanakawa was crying aloud.

“Huh? Why are you crying……” (Lute)

Lute was taken aback. If it was only his drive, the Hanakawa of this moment was something considerable.

“Such things as asexual are the worstttt! A man-woman has worth as it has a penisssssssSS!” (Hanakawa)

“Eeeehhhhh? What’s with you, despite me doing so because you said ‘a woman’s appearance is fine’.” (Lute)

Hanakawa’s fixation wasn’t understood at all by Lute.
