Arrogant God
Head back to the center and get Wince back.
But I was told that preparations and procedures were necessary for that.
"Now that you are in the position of a god of the Empire, you will be responsible for your actions."
Even though it was not the position I wanted, it ended up happening.
And I can't think of abandoning the Empire now.
And it was decided that an audience would be held through Yukikaze's mediation.
A large, luxurious room in the temple
At the back of the room, I sit on a luxurious chair.
"Eh, I will be here?"
"That's right, Shiro is not in a position to have an audience, but to be the one to be given an audience."
I am perplexed that I am treated like a god, no kidding.
Yukikaze, standing next to me, warns me, [Don't spoil your dignity].
What do you want me to pay attention to!
As I restlessly (as a result) polish the chair with my buttocks, the big door opens.
Luxurious clothes and cloak
A simple crown with many jewels
A face much like Giran and Shisu's
He must be the current emperor.
I was sure of that.
The emperor walks on the red carpet to the center of the room.
Kneels down and bows his head
"Lute-sama, the chief god of our empire. Hearing of your awakening, I, Elberait Tenes Lutin, the fourth emperor, have come."
With these words, he takes the crown himself.
On his head were the ears of a cat person.
"Lift your face"
Following Yukikaze's voice, the emperor looks at me.
-----------
What started from there was a long speech.
It's just so long and frustrating on both the Temple and Empire sides.
Moreover, the content is light.
I get that it's necessary.
I want to get to the point because I want to accomplish my purpose more than anything.
"It's too long!"
I finally broke through the limit and said it.
Moreover, the volume of my voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the room.
I had done it!
By the time I realized this, it was too late.
The priests and ministers were all staring at me.
Among them, Yukikaze's gaze hurts
And now I realized
Tenrei was hiding in the corner of the room.
And smiling
"Fumu, the chief god Lute just woke up and seems irritated."
Tenrei comes in between
"Don't be so scared, everyone. The chief god is not as angry as you all think."
It seems that the priest and minister were not looking at me.
I didn't do anything to scare them so much, did I?
"Shiro. I don't like it to be tedious either, better to tell us early on what you're up to."
"Is it okay?"
"You said it right out, and now it's too late."
Then let me say it
"There is a means to revive my wife in the core of the world at the bottom of the central part of the continent."
Maybe!
"I want to head there as soon as possible. Emperor, is that possible?"
"God. Please excuse me, but I would like to say that that statement is wrong."
The emperor denies my words
"Don't ask if it's possible or not, just tell us to do it! We, the Empire, with all its lives, obey your words."
That's what you don't like?
No, the responsibility is too heavy.
But I can't say that.
"Then I command you. Do it!"
"We will stake everything from the Empire!"
Heavy!
It's a heavy responsibility!
"But I don't ask you to die, but to keep the damage as low as possible."
-----------------
And so begins the report on the problems on the way to the center
First, the wind in the center.
Ginkei said we could head there, but he didn't say where.
There is only one place to enter the center.
There is one place where the wind is weak. That's where we can go.
And the location where the wind is weak is a problem.
It's right next to the Holy Kingdom's territory.
It's not the Holy Kingdom mainland, but it's pretty close.
We need to prepare our forces because there is a good chance that we will be attacked.
Next, the current trends of the Holy Kingdom
It seems that they are thinking about invading the Empire for the seventh time.
"This shitty country is truly evil!"
Why does this country always get in my way?
Do they understand what I'm doing?
I really want to destroy it
"Do you want to destroy it?"
The emperor asks
I'm afraid of this guy who asks me that without feeling any anxiety.
"No, I don't want unnecessary slaughter."
"Isn’t it a sin to be born into the Holy Kingdom?"
This emperor is scary
"Why don't you just focus on defense while I head for the center with Ginkei...?"
"No."
Not only the emperor, but also the priests and ministers objected.
"Nothing is certain. We, the Empire, must be Lute-sama's shield in case of emergency."
What then?
"How about we divide our forces into four?"
Tenrei proposes a plan.
First, defend the Empire.
Second, scouting the invasion route to the Holy Kingdom.
Third, invasion of the Holy King's mainland.
Fourth, liberation of the areas under their control near the center.
"Is it okay to divide that much?"
"There should be plenty of room for it."
"There's plenty of room."
"Plenty of room."
"Plenty."
It's unanimous.
"If there's a problem, it's what to do if Yuta shows up."
"Yeah, I think I'll take Yuta."
I raised my hand
But of course, the emperor was against it.
"No! If something happens to Lute-sama..."
"Nothing. And I'm not going to lose."
More than anything
"I won't be satisfied unless I kill him."
I'll hurt him as much as possible and kill him.
Shall I cut off his limbs?
Shall I rip out his internal organs?
Shall I pull out his eyes?
Shall I slowly crush him?
Anyway, this anger has to be directed at Yuta.
"Only Yuta and those who defy us will be killed. Do not harm those who did not resist or surrender."
"No slaughter and looting?"
"That's right."
I'm sorry, but it's my personal affairs.
I am the only one who will bear the grudge for the rest of my life.
"I'm not telling you to throw away your hatred. I can't throw it away either. But don't let it hold you captive and pull you down."
