“…Nii…you let her kiss you.” | |||
“Just wait a minute here, no matter how you look at it, she forced herself on me right?” | |||
“You say that, Master, but because of the 「Ten Pledges」 it isn’t possible to abuse another’s rights, so unless the Master had allowed it subconsciously there was no other way that Azrael-senpai could have kissed you.” | |||
“Wait a second, if I were to deny a beautiful lady like that unconsciously that would be disastrous to me as a guy!” | |||
“…Nii | “…Nii is fine with anyone…as long as it’s a girl…” | ||
“You’re just like Ino-sama.” | |||
“Come on already, no matter how you look at it, I’m the victim! Right! Hey!” | |||
Azrael’s mouth curled up in a smile as she heard the commotion behind her, and she spoke softly as she was leaving: | |||
“…Speaking of which, Jii-chan-nyan.” | |||
“…You finally added a –nyan to that. Ignoring the fact that you were rude to my Masters and that you’ve been lying to us for so long – even someone as tolerant as I am almost about to get angry. What is it? Azrael-senpai.” | |||
Jibril | Jibril teleported beside her and spoke unhappily. | ||
Azrael | Azrael asked her a question that she had thought of. | ||
“Jii-chan-nyan, | “Jii-chan-nyan, why do you think the Imanity had survived during the Great War?” | ||
“It was because…” | |||
That was a question that had nestled inside Jibril for an extremely long period of time, and it had begun to trouble her even more recently. | |||
Imanity | The Imanity were seen as too weak, so no one had paid particular attention to them and thus they had survived. | ||
But after meeting Sora and Shiro, Jibril felt confused. | |||
At the end of the Great War, the entire Elkian continent was the territory of the Imanity, was that just by pure chance – | |||
Imanity | The Imanity – Azrael attempted to guesstimate the source of their power. | ||
“Let’s say that they keep losing until they can’t lose anymore – that’s the Imanity.” | |||
- | - They continued 「Learning」 by using defeat or loss as their premise, not fearing the unknown, instead happily diving into it. | ||
Because they were more imperfect than anyone, they were a race that strived to be even more perfect than anyone – if so… | |||
Azrael | Azrael smiled bitterly, and the reason behind it was not because of the reason they survived, but… | ||
“…Why didn’t I take notice of a race like that during the Great War?” | |||
- Jibril | - Jibril inhaled sharply. | ||
Ignoring the two Masters for now, the late king that had exposed the Eastern Federation’s game, and Kurami who had collaborated with an Elf. | |||
The potential they had shown was almost scary – Jibril had experienced this personally. | |||
They were sometimes borderline insane, and at times even not afraid of death – despite this, they were able to bring in the next generation. | |||
“A race that continued to learn continuously – why did I not take a threat like that into consideration –“ | |||
That would mean that no matter how weak one was, as long as one could keep on collecting knowledge, that person would become an unavoidable threat. | |||
If she had noticed the full potential of that race earlier, what would she have done during the Great War? | |||
It was obvious – they would be 「Too dangerous」, and she would have eliminated them immediately. | |||
“- | “- And all our records of the Imanity – they were completely erased, and why is that?” | ||
Yes, all the records of the Imanity during the Great War had all been destroyed – it was almost unnatural. | |||
“Nyahahaha~ | “Nyahahaha~ I just thought of it randomly-nyan, maybe we –“ | ||
As Azrael said this, she looked towards Sora and Shiro. | |||
“The battlefield isn’t just on the Elkian continent anymore.” | |||
No doubt, that was something that looked like they would have done. | |||
“The Ex-Machinae that killed Artosh-sama were acting suspiciously during the final stages of the Great War, if –“ | |||
Halfway through her sentence – she smiled without a trace of humour in her eyes, and concluded. | |||
“Could they have been manipulated by the Imanity -?” | |||
If so – the death of Artosh that was the ignition fuse for the end of the war – | |||
- | - Was intentionally manipulated by someone - ? | ||
“Just joking~~ I must be thinking too much? Nyahahaha” | |||
As she said this, Azrael left behind Jibril who was standing motionless and continued forward. | |||
- | - She should have had walked for a quite a distance, but she didn’t reach anywhere. | ||
Jibril | Jibril who should have been behind her long ago was still beside her nonchalantly, making Azrael feel rather awkward. | ||
“Jii-chan-nyan, | “Jii-chan-nyan, I’ll do as they say and live shackled temporarily-nyan – and then…” | ||
She laughed. | |||
“During the next council meeting I’ll propose for 「Avant Heim to join the Elkian Federation」-nyan.” | |||
“…I don’t think that proposal will be approved for now.” | |||
It was something that Jibril clearly desired – | |||
As she considered this, Azrael smiled cunningly at her. | |||
“Observing and learning from those kids (Elkia). The 「Answer」 that we found – it will merely be a 「Superficial Alliance」 created in order to allow everyone to fulfil Artosh-sama’s final order – how does that sound? Nyaha” | |||
Her expression seemed to say: I didn’t lie for six thousand years for nothing. | |||
“…That’s pretty hard to turn down…” | |||
Avant Heim | Avant Heim was originally a completely neutral faction, without land nor resources. | ||
If it was a figurative alliance, and there was no moral duty for them to help out Elkia, they only had to participate when their own interests were at hand – | |||
Also they would have the assurance of the Representative of the Winged that it was an alliance for Artosh – so they should have no reason to refuse. | |||
…Her mind’s clearly so sharp, but why – Jibril sighed. | |||
“But…” | |||
Suddenly – Azrael looked at her solemnly in stark contrast from her previous appearance. | |||
“All the Flügel including myself, before we judge whether the potential of Elkia (those two) is worthy for us to believe in, I won’t allow them to refer to those two as their 「New Masters」- understood?” | |||
“Of course, everyone needs to understand this themselves, thus I’ll continue preaching from today onwards, don’t worry.” | |||
As long as she were to continue preaching her Bible (observation diary), increase their amount of fans – disciples it would be fine, Jibril told herself. | |||
Azrael | Azrael smiled bitterly and turned towards her once again. | ||
“…Before that, can I entrust those two to Jii-chan-nyan?” | |||
Those two were a yet unknown combination, so Azrael could understand why they were so full of charisma. | |||
But at the same time – she was afraid for them, as if they were to die before she were to make a conclusion, there would be a lot of trouble, after which she said: | |||
“I’m not asking this as the Representative of the Winged, but merely as a friend – please?” | |||
- Jibril | - Jibril smiled as she always had. | ||
“I’ve always believed in protecting my masters even if I have to sacrifice myself – so I refuse.” | |||
“- | “- Really, now…nyahahaha…” | ||
Which was hinting that they weren’t friends – which was but of course, after doing all those outrageous things, she still dared to call herself a friend – | |||
“But if you keep dragging your feet like this, you’re going to miss all the most interesting parts -「Onee-san」." | |||
- Jibril | - Jibril said this while smiling at her 「Sister」. | ||
… | … | ||
“N-no problem-nyan… I’ll hurry over to my cute imouto’s side as fast as possible-nyan/” | |||
Nyahahaha, she laughed and walked away in an attempt to restrain her tears. | |||
She had changed in the short period of an hour as well, so she figured it wouldn’t take long – | |||
As she was leaving, she suddenly stopped and surveyed her surroundings – she sighed and waved. | |||
“Everyone~ can someone carry me~! Also we need to hold a meeting ASAP~! I’ll need at least a road to get home with or else it’ll be a big problem for me, so could you all please build some~ nyahahaha ♪” | |||
Walking home with her powers sealed away from her. | |||
She couldn’t even do that – that sensation felt overwhelmingly exotic. | |||
Even something as stupid and boring as this – felt interesting, and she couldn’t help but laugh at herself. | |||
- | Placing her feet one after another on the ground, with the same line of sight as those two had, looking at the world at the speed of an ant’s crawl. | ||
- After living for twenty-six thousand years – this isn’t that bad for a change. | |||

- …….. | - …….. | ||
- | - You want to have them as your new Masters? | ||
“That’s not my decision-nyan, so spend a little time to think about it yourself as well, Avant-kun (Avant Heim).” | |||
- | - …Although it’s a tough decision, I’ll try. | ||
“To be honest I don’t think it’ll be all that bad serving under those kids for a while.” | |||
- | - Because of their potential? | ||
Azrael | Azrael could only reply by flapping her wings that couldn’t lift her into the sky. | ||
“Because it seems oh so fun-nyan! Nyahaha~!” | |||
- | - You seem truly happy. | ||
I wonder what I’ll play with them next time, she began thinking – | |||
