164 164・ Like a girl, not like a god




 The war against Bugnuba is over.

"Kurt, ...... has the Bugnuba ...... disappeared already?

 Cynthia was the first to rush over and ask that question.

"Yeah. A thousand years ago we could only contain it, but this time we've completely destroyed it. You're safe now.

 Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief.

 But still, .......
 I look at the palm of my hand and think.

 I never expected to be stronger than I was a thousand years ago.
 I thought I had reached my limit a thousand years ago.
 But ...... this golden magic power will continue to grow. I never thought it would reach the point of destroying the gods.

 I can still be strong.
 I'm still not as strong as Lara and Marise.

"Razevara!

 I called out to Razevara, but for some reason she wouldn't meet my gaze.
 I don't care, I keep talking.

"The crisis is over. You were worried about Bagnuva's power. ...... What do you think? Did I make myself clear?
"............

 Hmm?
 Why don't you say a word.
 Razevala's back seemed to be trembling slightly.

"Rashevara?

 I put my hand on her shoulder.

"Kurt!

 She turned around as if her emotions were exploding and jumped into my chest.

I'm so glad ......! I thought for once even you couldn't do anything about .......
"Oh, nothing is impossible for me. Nothing is impossible.

 I'm trying to be cool, but my heart is racing.
 If there's one thing I can't do, it's understand the female mind.
 This is the only thing I can't understand at all even after a thousand years.

"And yet, Rashevara.

 Take Rashevara by the shoulders and pull her away from your body.

"There's something wrong with the gods. Isn't that right?
"......!

 When I said it, Razevala's shoulders shook.

I knew it. What's going on?
What makes you think that?
It's a hunch. Like Razevala and Bagnuba, gods do not appear to people easily. And yet, the fact that they keep appearing like this ...... makes me think that something bad is going on.
You know everything about me.

 For a change.
 Rashevara turned serious.

You're right. You do know that there are several factions of God, right?
"Yes, pretty much.

 For example, it's hard to believe that Rashevara and Bhagnubha are working from the same ideals.
 Then it would not be surprising if there were factions within God.

I don't know the whole story. I don't know the whole story, but ...... some gods have bad ideas, that's all.
"Hmm? It's called a bagnuba, and there's nothing wrong with that. God is fickle. I wouldn't be surprised if there were one or two who thought so.
It would have been better if there were only one or two. But what if there are so many that even ...... I can't keep track of them all?

 Then it's quite tricky.
 If there are other classes like the Bugnubas, I can't even think about it.

 But.

"Oh, don't worry about it. Whatever the gods have in mind, I'll play them all back.

 That would have been impossible a thousand years ago.
 A thousand years ago, it would have been impossible. But now that I have more power and can break God's discipline, I will be able to defeat their schemes.

"You're as reliable as ever.

 Razevala chuckles.

"Mr. Razevala, ...... what are you going to do now ......?

 Cynthia, who was listening to the conversation nearby, tilted her head and asked.

"Me?
Yes ......, Kurt seems to have erased the Bugnuba, so there's no need for you to be in this labyrinth ......, is there?

 Well, Cynthia's right.
 This labyrinth was originally built as a sealing facility for Bugnuba.
 Then there is no need for Razevala to stay in this labyrinth.

 I've been paying attention to what Razevala has been saying.



"I'm going back to the Divine Realm.

 She said, somewhat sadly.

"There's no need for me to be in the mortal world anymore. I'll be watching over you all in the Divine Realm.
"......Yes.

 Cynthia also looked regretful.

 Razevala's point is valid.
 It's not easy for a god to stay in the human world. There's no need for that.

 But...


"Razevala. Why don't you come to the academy in King's Landing?


 I suggested.

"The Academy of Magic ......?

 Razevara cocked her head in puzzlement.

"Yes.
"I'm a god?
Just because you're a god doesn't mean you can't attend the academy.

 It's too much to ask to send Razevala back to the Divine Realm like this.
 In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

I'm not sure if there is any discipline, but I'm sure it's in the school rules.

 I'm sure there are school rules, if not discipline.

"As far as I can see, there are no such rules. And if there were such a rule, I'd break it.
Haha. Kurt, you're quite the Yankee, aren't you?

 "Kurt, you're quite the Yankee," blurted out Rashevara, who must have lost her mind.

"What are you going to do, Razevala? I'm not going to force you. But I think I'd like to spend a little more time with you. So come to school.

 I hold out my hand.
 She looks at my hand and seems to hesitate.

It's up to Razevala to take my hand. But I can assure you it will be more fun than it was a thousand years ago.

 This is the honest truth.
 I've met Lara and Marise, Cynthia and Avril, and I'm living a more fulfilling life than I did a thousand years ago.
 In light of this, the decline of magical civilization was a trivial matter.

 After a while, Razevara smiled a pretty smile and said.


"Yes. I'm at your service.


 It was an expression of childlike innocence, unbecoming of a god.
