Pied Piper
I don't know how it works, but Anastasia's back view was shown.
"Huh? What's going on?"
I ask Shiro a question.
"Yes! This is a video from an acquaintance's perspective, connected to the path of the Divine Eye!"
"Acquaintance?"
"Of course, I'm using Kenji's eyes!
The only people Master truly trust in this world are me, Kenji, and Ori Hime!"
"Is that so?"
"That's right!"
Shiro declared confidently.
"But it's Shiro's divine eye, right?"
"Since I transplanted it into Master, it is now Master’s divine eye!"
"Ancestor-sama... I don't have the trust of Ancestor-sama..."
Mylene, who worships me as the Ancestor, asks me sadly.
"I trust you, but..."
Even though it's about me, I don't know.
After all, I didn't really care.
"I think Master trusts Mylene-san because she is your kin, but for Master, you are not close enough to say what he wants to say to you, so the pass didn’t connect, did it?''
Shiro deduces.
"Does that mean I can't tell someone they're an idiot or tell them to die?"
"Master, if it were me, Kenji, or Ori Hime, you would be able to hit us with all your might!"
"I don’t think I hit Ori Hime before, though?"
"Master is telling her to act change as your weapon and cutting down monsters!
That's a kind of abuse!"
"Certainly, that might be the case….
Ori Hime also said that she doesn't like being swayed as a Morningstar!"
I get back at Shiro for being cheeky.
"You're saying that now!"
As we're doing that,
"What the hell are you doing!"
Mary, who was ignoring the exchange between me and Shiro and was glued to the magic smartphone, was going crazy.
When Shiro and I hurriedly looked into the magic smartphones, we saw an image of the witch Merlin, who used her death scythe to kill monsters and beastmen who were in a daze after hearing the flute.
"Really, she's killing enemies with the Death Scythe... Was the witch Merlin an ally of the Demon King?"
"I wonder... It looks like she is mechanically hunting souls.
No matter how you look at it, her arms look tired!"
"Well, she's a witch... unlike swordsmen, she doesn't seem to be trained in wielding the Death Scythe..."
"Then she's saying he’s hunting people’s souls for no reason!!"
Mary, who can only see a future where Anastasia is killed by the Death Scythe, becomes angry.
"Please wait a moment! I'll try changing the mode of the Divine Eye!"
When Shiro said that, many things that looked like fireballs appeared near the hearts of the people in the video.
"What this?"
Mary tilted her head.
"The fireball near your heart is your soul!
I tried changing the divine eye to a mode where you can see souls!"
As expected, anything is possible with Shiro's divine eye.
I wonder what will happen when all eight of these Divine Eyes are used.
"Isn't Grandmother's fireball much bigger than a human?"
"The soul of a hero is special, so it's big and burns powerfully!"
Shiro quickly added some information.
"As expected of Grandmother!"
I don't know why, but Mary seems very happy.
Her grandmother, whose soul was so big, was going to be killed soon.
"Master! Look! Witch Merlin, it looks like she's hunting and collecting souls instead of destroying them with Death Scythe!"
Shiro noticed and reported it to me.
"That's the original role of the Death Scythe, or rather, the role of the Shinigami."
Hearing my story, Shiro opened her third divine eye and seriously looked at the witch Merlin and Death Scythe displayed on the magic smartphone.
"That's right! It seems that the Shinigami's original job is to cut out the souls from people's bodies with the Death Scythe and help them reincarnate!"
Apparently, Shiro used three Divine Eyes to appraise it.
"But Blackbeard used it as a weapon to completely destroy souls, right?"
I ask a question.
After all, my soul has been destroyed by Blackbeard many times.
"Look, the Death Scythe seems to be handled delicately!"
At Shiro's request, I take a look at the witch Merlin.
When the witch Merlin hears the sound of a flute, she brings the Death Scythe close to a dazed monster, somehow the monster's soul pops out of its heart like a speech bubble in a comic book.
It appears that the witch Merlin uses the Death Scythe to separate the soul from its heart so as not to damage it.
However, perhaps because she was tired from the delicate work, or because her hands were not used to it, the tip of the Death Scythe ended up piercing its heart, and she was covered in a lot of blood.
Well, every time she failed, she clicked her tongue, she probably didn't want her body to be bathed in blood.
"But what is she going to do with the collected souls?"
I turn my attention to a man wearing a crown, pumpkin pants, and tights who looks like a stupid medieval prince near witch Merlin who is collecting souls.
"That person looks like Mephistopheles!"
Shiro said the famous name.
"Hmm? Mephistopheles is a super famous devil!
I never thought that Mephistopheles existed in this world too..."
I'm excited about Mephistopheles, who appears in Faust, written by the German author Goethe.
Well, speaking of devil summoning, there is a famous devil called Mephistopheles!
"That’s wrong! Apparently, it is a devil from another world, just like Father!
The devils of this world, like the native devils of the southern continent, don't seem to be that strong!"
"No way! So does it know Amaimon?
Then, if we can get Amaimon to take care of it, won't it work out somehow?"
"Maybe so!"
For some reason, I fell into the illusion that the problem had been resolved, and I had the time to ask Shiro about the other man at the scene besides Mephistopheles.
"And maybe the one next to Mephistopheles, dressed like a clown and playing a flute is called the Pied Piper of Hamelin!"
"That's correct! Besides, today, with my divine eyes, I found out the true identity of the mysterious Pied Piper of Hamelin!"
"Who is it!"
There are various theories about the true identity of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, so I was curious about it.
"The Pied Piper of Hamelin is also a devil from another world, and he is the same as the Black Death!"
"A devil from another world? The Black Death?"
I was shocked and surprised by the unexpected answer.
"Yes! The Pied Piper of Hamelin's true identity is the Black Death, the so-called plague!"
Shiro declares clearly once again.
"Why does the plague turn into a devil?"
"When people feared it, it turned into a devil and materialized!
The devil that materialized is the Pied Piper of Hamelin!"
Well, the story is about the Pied Piper of Hamelin, who used the sound of his flute to control rats that were probably carrying the germs of the plague that was spreading in the city, causing them to drown in the river, so there is a theory that this is actually a story about the plague.
"So, what are the abilities of Mephistopheles and the Pied Piper of Hamelin?"
I ask a very important question.
After all, the devils from another world on the southern continent are truly dangerous!
"I just don’t know.
They're new devils, different from Father and the others on the southern continent, so I don't really understand their class, or rather, it's not really clear...
Mephisto is described as the Grand Duke of Hell, but I don't think he is on the same level as Astaroth, one of the three lords of hell, and Faust, who summoned Mephisto, was originally Beelzebub, one of the three lords of hell. I don't really understand, as there are descriptions that he wanted to summon him, but he didn't have the strength, so Mephisto, Beelzebub's subordinate, came in his place!"
Apparently, there was something that even Shiro's divine eye couldn't figure out.
"Then, how good is the Pied Piper of Hamelin?"
"The Pied Piper of Hamelin was born from the Black Death, which wiped out one-third of Europe’s population, so it’s certain that he was extremely strong!"
Shiro answered this question with a straight face.
"Can we defeat such dangerous people?"
"Hmm... their power is enough to make even Anastasia-san daze, so it might be too much for us to handle!"
Apparently, even from Shiro's perspective, there is no chance of us winning.
"Then what are we going to do?"
"First of all, let's talk to Father!
It's the same devil from another world, so maybe he can do something about it!"
So, I ended up solving the case using my own skill, which is using other people's power.
