105 - - a man who can't be number one








 It was in the room.

 It seems that he was waiting for me, so it was not there by chance.



(You mean you wanted to see me. ......)



 I don't know what it is.

 It is not a tangible object, nor is it visible.



 He walked up to the room without caution, feeling "something" drifting in the emptiness of his spacious room.

"Well, it doesn't look like just a hallucination. Some kind of consciousness or spirit. Then this is no longer the province of man. I must be smug that I have finally reached the point where I can hear the voice of God.



 There was no proof, nor was there any certainty.

 I was not trying to trick you.



 There was a pure power in it, a pressure that could take your life if you were not careful.



 That is why Alexei thought it was a god or something comparable.



(But he seems to be very weak. (But he seems to be very weak. Perhaps he needs to make me < to something through conversation, when he would normally do something to me with or without my consent.)



 Alexei was calm.

 It was not that he did not want his true intentions to be known that he did not voice.

 He did not care if his heart was revealed, and if he could not do that, he could not be expected to do so.

"And yet, you appeared in front of me, is it because of some irregularity that compelled you to do so?"



<<< yes. Because the trial vessel is no longer available. It may be dangerous to have someone so close to him, but I can't think of anyone more qualified than you.



"I see. So you're not a god, but some kind of evil spirit. They possess people and make them their own. I'm afraid I don't want the power to give up my sense of self. Look elsewhere."



 Half of it is true, but the other half is not. Even if I cease to be myself, if I can get the "power" that is worth it...



<<< Is that "interesting"? I never thought I'd be so close to such an amusing thing.



 The uncertain entity laughs with hearty amusement.






"Putting aside the ambiguity of the conditions, are you satisfied with that?"



<<< yes. I am already gone, waiting to be gone. I am unnecessary from the start. But I cannot remain defeated. I must avenge even a single arrow.



"This is ...... honest again. If you're an evil spirit, I hope you've got a dream story to fool us with."






 Alexei Gubeluk has a brilliant mind and magical powers.

 However, because of his brilliance, he had resigned himself from an early age to the fact that he would never be able to overcome the towering "walls" that stood in his way.



 I will never be . I never had the talent from the beginning.



 Gieselotte, the flash princess of arms. Tiaalietta Ruseyaner of knowledge.

 Charlotte Semphis, a newcomer, has recently emerged to surpass both of them.



 And Hart Semphis, who is far beyond them, far beyond common sense.



 All I can do is to be a clown to play their tricks.

 Still, I have decided to enjoy life to the full until the moment when I stand up to turn the country upside down and end up as a beaten man.



 I am not interested in the nobility.

 I organized the Numbers because I want to divide and destroy the country from within.



"Very well. If you understand my nature, I'm sure you'll find my proposal amusing."



 In the center of the room, the space shook.

 The next moment, my vision turned black,



"G,haaaaaaaaaaah!"



 My insides boiled hot.



(Amazing,....... I never thought that I was really a "god"!)



 The memories flooded my brain.

 But it did not taint the essence of ,






 The fever has subsided, but I still feel a creeping pain in every part of my body.



"Ah, so this is the power that surpasses man. This is more than I deserve.



 Alexei was smiling a crooked smile even as he said this.



(I didn't know that the cult of Luciphira, the Demon God, was organized by his servants, the demons, to revive the Demon God.)



 The pure surprise is only because Alexei still has himself.



(This thing that got into me is like a piece of the genie. ) And it's a rather small piece, probably because it's a . The more powerful piece possessed Queen Giselotte?)



 And the vessel chosen before by the shard that entered him was Zahra Yessel.

 We need to find out what happened to her after she escaped from the demon god. But we must assume that the Black Warrior Shiva is watching her.



(Lucifira was very careful, but I am happy to die whenever I can. Then let me be a bit bold.)



 According to what I have heard, Zahra is so weak that she cannot stand up and is recuperating in the residence of the Marquise in the capital.



(However, the timing is strange. (However, the timing is strange. She was brought to the hospital a few days after she confronted Shiva, so something must have happened in the meantime. ......)



 I would like to be sure about that.





 Alexei visited the Yessel family mansion later that day with a bouquet of flowers to pay his respects. There, he found a.......



(What a bad time ....... (This demon god is cursed, isn't he?)






 Zahra's room had other visitors besides him.

 Zahra was sitting up in bed,



"Hello, Mr. Alexei.



 Charlotte Semphis with a carefree smile,



"Hello, senpai!"



 A very unenthusiastic looking Hurt Semphis was standing there.
