The fight with Bagnuba is over.

'Kurt ... is Bagnuba ... gone now?

　Cynthia runs up to me first and asks me that question.

'Yeah, a thousand years ago we could only contain it, but this time we've completely destroyed it. We'll be fine now.''

　As she said it, Cynthia let out a breath of relief.

　But still.....
　I look at my palm and think to myself, "I never thought that I would be stronger than I was a thousand years ago.

　I didn't expect it to be stronger than it was a thousand years ago - even I didn't think it would be.
　A thousand years ago, I thought I had reached my limit.
　However.........this golden magic power will still grow. I never thought it would reach the point of destroying a god.

　I can still be strong(¦).
　I can't lose to Lara and Marise and the others yet.

"Razzeballa.

　I call out to Lazevara, but for some reason she didn't want to meet my gaze.
　Not caring, I keep talking.

'The crisis is over. You were worried about Bagnuba's power... what do you think?　I wasn't wrong about that, was I?
..........

　Hmm?
　Why won't you say a word?
　Lazevara's back looked slightly shaken.

'Lazevara?'

　I put my hand on his shoulder.

Kurt!

　She turned around as if in a burst of emotion and jumped into my chest.

'I'm so glad...!　For once, even you can't help but wonder if there's anything you can do about it...
Oh, nothing's impossible for me. That's unfounded.

　I try to pretend it's cool, but my heart is racing.
　If there's anything that's impossible for me to do, it's that I don't know what's in a woman's heart.
　This is the only thing I haven't figured out in a thousand years.

"But still, Lazevara,

　He took both of Lazevara's shoulders and pulled him away from his body.

'Something bad is happening on God's side. Isn't it?
....!

　When I mentioned it, Lazevara's shoulders shook with a jerk.

'I knew it. What's going on?'
What makes you think that?
What? A hunch. Razebara, Bagnuba and other gods do not appear in front of people very often. But the fact that he keeps coming out like this just makes me think that something unusual is going on.
You know all about it, don't you?

　A turn.
　Lazevara turned serious.

You're right. You do realize that there are several factions of God, right?
Mm, pretty much.

　For example, it is unlikely that Razevala and Bhagnuba are acting on the same ideals.
　Then it wouldn't be surprising if there were factions among the gods.

'I don't know the whole story either. But....there are gods who think the wrong things, that's all.
Hmm?　That's called Bagnuva and it's not a strange thing. God is a freak. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a pillar or two who think so.
'It would have been nice if there were just one or two pillars. But if that's a lot - so many that even I can't keep track of it?

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

　However.

'What, you don't need to worry about it. I'll play it all back to you, no matter what the gods think of strange things.

　A thousand years ago, this would not have been possible.
　But now that I have more power and can break God's discipline, I'll be able to defeat their schemes.

''You are as dependable as ever, aren't you?

　Lazevara laughs with a huff.

'Mr. Lazevara what are you going to do now...'

　Cynthia, who had been listening to the conversation nearby, asked with a tilt of her head.

'Me?'
'Yeah well it seems that Kurt erased Bagnuva and we don't need to be in this labyrinth........'

　Hmm, Cynthia is right.
　She says that this labyrinth was originally built as a sealing facility for Bagnuba.
　Then there would be no need for Lazevara to continue to stay in this labyrinth.

　I've been paying attention to Razebara's statement too.

I'm going back to the God Realm.

　She uttered somewhat sadly.

'I don't even have to stay in the human world anymore, you know. I'll keep an eye on you guys in the divine world.'
Yeah.

　Cynthia also looked like she was going to miss it.

　What Lazevara said was valid.
　A god can't just settle in the human world so easily. There would be no need for that.

　But.


''Lazevara. Would you like to come to the Magical Academy in King's Landing?


　I suggested.

'The magic academy...?'

　Inexplicably, Lazevara twists his head.

'Yes.'
God me?
'There will be no discipline that says you shouldn't attend a magical school just because you're a god.

　It's too much of a push to send Lazebara back to the divine world as it is.
　It's partly because I want to get more information about the gods' conspiracy against them... but more than that, I wanted to enjoy the school life with Lazebara.

''Even if there's no discipline, I think it's in the school's school rules.

　Lazevara says jokingly.

'As far as I can tell, there aren't any school rules like that. And if there were such rules, I'd break them.'
Yeah. Kurt, you're quite the bad boy.

　Lazevara blurted out, as if he had gone mad.

'What do you do, Lazevara? I won't force you. But I do think I want to spend a little more time with you. So come to the school.

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

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

　This is the real story, and I'm not going to lie.
　After meeting Lara, Marise, Cynthia and Avril, I too am living a more fulfilling life than I was a thousand years ago.
　When I think about it, it was a trivial matter that magical civilization was in decline.

　Eventually, Razebara smiled a dainty smile.


''--Unh. Thanks for your help.


　It was an ungodly, childlike look of innocence.
