118-Episode 15: Assassins Meet the Beginning




 It's a dream.
 I can clearly see that I am in a dream.
 This scene is the first time in fourteen years, and it cannot be real.
 After all, this was the white room where the goddess called me when I was reincarnated.

'Panpaka-pan, congratulations! Your achievement points have exceeded a certain amount and your fate interference resources have increased. May the Goddess have mercy on you!

And the fact that I've been called into this room means that there will always be a Lord.......a goddess as well.

'It hasn't changed in fourteen years.
If anything, it's you who hasn't changed. My personality and speech are calculated and directed according to you. You are doing this to me. Teehee.

Perhaps you play the personality that the other person finds most comfortable to talk to.
 I'm trying to figure out how I got this personality in front of me.
 It's a guess, but it's blatantly suspicious, and with insight, I can see his true feelings. It's that kind of clarity that puts me at ease.

'More fate interference resources ... so that's what it's all about. Dia, Tart, and Macha. It was too much to meet these three people. Even though I searched for them, it was crazy to meet so many convenient people one after another. It means I can now do things like bring those three people together again, right?
Oh, did you notice that? That's right, a little bit of fate line manipulation. Those three guys help you out, don't they? I'm even making out with all of them. Yo, handsome man!
''Well it doesn't feel so good. To be told that my bond with the three of you is a setup.
Oh, that's not quite right. It's a terrible use of resources to bind your emotions and actions. Frankly speaking, it's impossible. All I've done is to slightly change the direction of your destiny so that you can meet the person you want, and that's it. Just getting them to meet you is the limit. I don't know what happens after we meet. You can be proud of me. It's purely your ability to hold those three people captive. Oh no, they're going to attack me too!

Those words were a relief to me.
 If even the emotions of the three of us were orchestrated by the goddess, it was too hollow.

''I see. ........That's good to hear.
'By the way, today would have been the anniversary of Maha's death if it were original history. That's good. We all made it through the anniversary of her death.
'I heard that all three of you were supposed to be dead by today.
Yeah, that's what he says. Um, where did I put the Akashic Records? Right, right, right.

The goddess deliberately takes out a thick book from the different sky.

'In the original history, the first person to die was Tart-chan, who was discarded in the winter mountains for a small talk and went to Touahade, but on the way to Touahade, he was hit by the cold and starvation and died. That's the best way to die. The next person to die is Dia-chan, who was defeated in the war and was purchased by a perverted nobleman who thinks she's talented in magic and wants her to give birth to an heir. Humans are so stupid, if they do this, they won't be able to give birth to children. And then it's destroyed and disposed of, oh, I feel sorry for you.

If it wasn't for me, those two could have been, too.
 It's just irritating to know that.

'Finally, Maha-chan, she was so cute that the orphanage's vicious director sells her out against the pedophile aristocracy. But he's strong. But she's a tough guy, and she's got a good handle on the pedophile aristocrat. And now, just when she's about to open her own shop with the backing of the pedophile aristocrats, the devil's hand comes out!  So, I was going to die today.
It's not a coincidence that all three of you were doomed to die if you didn't meet me, is it?

There has to be a reason for this.
 This goddess looks like this, and her actions all have meaning.

''Yes, when tinkering with fate, the greater the individual's ability and talent, plus the greater the influence on the future afterwards, the harder it is to tinker with. The better a person is, the harder it is to tamper with his or her destiny. But the kids who die prematurely and have no future have less fate power, so it's easier and more helpful to manipulate their fate in spite of their abilities. It's very cost effective.
You talk like you think we're pawns or something.
'I'm thinking. I'm not even a pawn myself, I'm a stage set. Well, but as I'm teaching you, there's really not much I can do.

It's true that it's not much.
 The only thing I've been able to do in the last fourteen years is to bring me together with three girls who were supposed to die.

'So you didn't call me here to talk about this. I want to ask you something. There's so much I don't know about this world. If you want me to save the world in a proper way, give me the information.

I've been feeling this ever since I met the demon Meena.
 I'm too ignorant of this world.
 If I didn't know the rules, there was no way I could win the game.

''Yeah, yea, yea, yea. I don't mean that in a mean way. Teaching the rules is a huge drain on your fate resources. So much so that you can't do anything else.
And you just blabbed on about the three of them?
'Oh, that's fine. Because you knew you were going to be the one to do it, didn't you?

Emotionless eyes look through me, worthy of being called a stage set.
 Indeed it is.
 I could imagine that my meeting with the three of them had been set up by the goddess, and that they would be dead if they hadn't met me.

'Then say what you can say. You've used your resources to bring me here. I only do what makes sense if you're the device.
Pin-pop, that's right. The top brass has decided that your achievements so far are worth saving the world from, and they've also added a few more shelves to the list. Therefore, I have more resources to use. So, please make sure you get your reward soon. I've called you out to say this.
''Well I can't tell you what it is because it consumes resources to say what it is. And the fact that you've gone to the trouble of calling this place with your resources means that it's the kind of thing you'd miss if you didn't advise me.

The goddess smiles at me.
 It seems to be the right thing to do.
 It seems to be such a big reward for her to go that far.

''I understand. I'll take it I'll take it I want to save this world too.

I live as a rogue Touahade and love with all my heart what I've built up.
 And I don't want to lose my parents, who loved and raised me, and Dia, Tart, and Maha, the three people who have come to love me.

'Yes, so good luck with that. You're the only one I can count on now.
If I've consumed any resources by saying that, I won't forgive you.
That's okay. Because you know. It's very noticeable, you know, the idiot who has a cheat and plays me TUEEEEEE with the knowledge of his previous life without a second thought. But if that's how you get noticed and killed by a human, I don't care. Yeah, what a waste of resources. Well, now that they're dead, I can turn them over to us. But from a goddess' point of view, the basis of investment is diversification, so I don't think it's a good idea to consolidate.

The goddess was right, she knew of the existence of what seemed to be a reincarnated person.
 People who did that kind of thing were conspicuous and easily caught in Orna's information network.

I've met with them in person and offered to help, but for some reason, they've been prodded by people who are not cooperating.
 And I know that they are all doomed at the moment.

The humans who have been reincarnated into this world by the goddess have high specifications.
 But they are only within the framework of a human, and the slightest carelessness can cost them their lives.

Now, the end of the dream. When you wake up, please have a morning kiss with the cute Maha. The oracle of the goddess is over. Oh, I'm so tired. I'm done for the day, I'm going to go to the spa, and then I'll have a drink while watching the drama.

And so the white room becomes distorted.
 What on earth is the goddess' reward?
 You have to give it some thought and formulate a hypothesis. Otherwise, I'm sure I'll miss out.
 It's a dream.
