We have one hour and a half left to complete the Ruling.

　After a little bit of purge, the hostile forces within the scope of the Ruling have been eliminated. The surrendered humanity was now gathered in the gymnasium in Ishikawa University, where they had a clear view of their subordinates.

''Theon, can you hear me?''

　--I can hear you. What's going on?

　I reply to Lina's muttering, which feels like a monologue, with telekinesis.

''Will you allow me to explain to them how the 《Governance》 works?

　Permission to explain how the 《governance》 works........

　Even though I know that from my point of view you have the will to rebel, from humanity's point of view it is highly likely that the red dot -- the red dot -- will appear to be an unreasonable purge of your opponents.

　--I'll allow it, but first, take away all of humanity's means of communication.

　What happens if the mechanism of the 《Governance》 is exposed to humanity?　Will more of them surrender?　Will more people take advantage of the opposite and set up the failure of the 《Governance》....... If it's unclear which way it will go, then perhaps we shouldn't hand over the information without a fight.

　I imposed conditions to prevent information leakage and allowed him to explain the mechanism of the 《Governance》. Lina obeyed my orders, and after seizing all the means of communication with her subordinates, she carefully explained the mechanics of the 《Ruling》 to humanity.

''Well, that's not........how can a smartphone know our emotions.......''
Oh, it's true...
''Impossible.......Are you saying that the Demon King is more privileged.......''

　Humanity begins to be amazed and complain when Lina explains to them.

''It's all true. So.........don't let us shed any more blood for nothing.

　Lina stifled her grief and threw in a few words nonchalantly.

'Hey!　You people believe that?　It's the language of the enemy!　You're going to believe what this weird masked woman says!

　One man stands up and begins to agitate the humanity around him.

''Kuh........''

　Lina puts her hand on the sword at her waist with a pained look on her face.

　--Lina

I know...

　Lina responds to my reminder with determination.

　--I take off my mask and allow myself to say my name!

"--!

　Lina must have expected me to order her to purge the man I had instigated.

　--I want to keep Lina's existence a secret from humanity. Once her identity is revealed, no one is allowed to leave the space for any reason whatsoever.

　Lina's identity will be revealed to the public when she faces off against the Sage of Kanazawa and the Sage of Kanazawa. Right now, she still wants to keep her existence a secret.

''Anu!　You're killing it!　You're gonna kill me!　Dude, the Demon King's smartphone makes me all red, anyway!

　The man who instigated the trembling against Lina with his hand on his sword continues to be emphatic. Lina ignored the man's cries and turned on her heel, and climbed up to the podium of the gym - and put her hand on the mask that hides her true face.

''Eh?''
Oh, that's...
Oh, no...
I was supposed to be dead...

　A portion of humanity begins to buzz as Lina removes the mask on her hand, revealing her true face.

''It's nice to meet you. My name is Lina-Sion. To you people - would it be better to say 'The Black Sword Hero'?　... well, that name is a past I'd rather forget.

　Lina gives one last pensive smile as she introduces herself.

'Ho, it's real...'
I thought I was dead...
'I've seen him at school.... It's me....
Why is the Black Sword Warrior...

　When Lina revealed her identity, humanity became colorful. Lina continued to speak, not paying attention to the state of humanity.

''As you all know, I was once recognized as a hero by Kanazawa City, and together with the 'Sage of Kanazawa' - Hideya Ando and the 'Sage of Kanazawa' - Saori Kayama - my current master to liberate the dominant territory. --you have stepped into the realm of the Demon King Theon's control.

　Humanity listens quietly to Lina's words, which seem to be a monologue.

''In conclusion - your leaders 'Sage of Kanazawa' and 'Sage of Kanazawa' have abandoned me and fled. I was abandoned by those who were my friends who called me brave, and my life was saved by the Demon King Theon, whom you call your great enemy.

'What?　What does that mean...?
"A wise man and a saint abandoned the 'Black Sword Hero' and ran away?
''The 'Black Sword Hero' sacrificed himself to free the sage and the saint...''

　Humanity is disturbed by the truth spoken from Lina's mouth.

''The Demon King and humanity - [Chaos] and [Lowe] hate each other. You humans.........no, I used to too - I decided that the Demon King (Chaos) = evil. Indeed, we may be destined to fight each other.......!　God ... the world ... the world's reasoning for a koaleta world named [The World Salvation Project] drives us to conflict!

　Lina's words begin to heat up.

'But!　I just want you to understand this!　There are good people and bad people too!　Even the Demon King has a good man-not to say that he has a personality!　Theon is generous to those under his protection!　Under Zion the human race living in the Astor Empire is full of hope and smiles!　So, for now, bow to the Demon King Theon with all your heart...!　If you're going to be an enemy I--I'll cut down the enemy as many times as I can to protect my precious friends and countrymen!

　Lina finally raised Levatein to the heavens and declared.

　Let's see.........

　I operate my smartphone to check the change in humanity's state of mind.

　Oh!　As expected of an ex-brave...!

　The color of everyone's dots had changed to yellow.

　There was only one hour and twenty minutes left until the completion of the 《Ruling》.

　--~♪

　My smartphone plays an electronic tone that announces an incoming call.

　The caller is - maple.

"My lord, your rule has failed.
What about the army of Demon King Kaoru?
"Withdrawal.
How's the human race?
"Some of the humans began to travel in their cars.

　The second round of the second round, the first in which the southern part of Kanazawa was to be successfully governed, was about to begin.
