Strange and not so surprising.
No, more precisely, maybe I was already just too surprised to feel paralyzed.
But at least it's true it wasn't a big deal compared to the moment you stepped into this room.
It's right in front of you, a presence that shapes the girl's appearance.
It was so accepted that I made a joke about myself, such as a provisional name, because I understood what to say shortly afterwards.
- God.
I knew that there was no lie or falsehood in that word, not what anyone would tell me.
Eina is not a follower of Sacred Divinity, and God's presence is to such an extent that he believes in mankind.
To the extent that it could still be understood at a glance, its presence was so tremendous that it was barometric.
Or so much so that if I'd met him alone, he might have arrived just like that.
That didn't happen because Soma and Hildegard were there with their natural faces.
It was because I saw him talking to his being with a face that was nothing that I was able to gradually regain my calm.
But that doesn't mean I've been completely calm.
"Hmmm... the next king of the devil's guide, is it?
"Well technically, maybe I should say I'm still a candidate. However, as you know, few people have superior skills, and I think it's almost settled. By the way, it's a little different, but it's quite common for people from seven heavens to get married, you know? So did modern swords and demons, and I figured if we had something in common, we'd have something to go through?
"Why did you tell that story now...!?
"No, I just remembered, no other way, huh? Soma, I just thought it would be an odd encounter because the next king of swords is insistent too. Oh, speaking of which, you also had superior skills, but you already gave the king's seat back? No, I'm sorry..."
"Stop calling me stingy like my loss is confirmed...!
With such a twisted interaction, Aina felt that - Satya's eyes could be directed at herself.
I also felt that those eyes seemed like they were going to see everything about me and be sucked in at the same time.
I felt something similar in Eleonora's eyes, but deeper than that, I don't know what I'm good at.
I instinctively felt that this was something I shouldn't keep looking at... but I got a grin and a grin before I turned a blind eye.
"And yet... yeah, as expected, those clothes look good on Eina"
"As expected, did you still do it?"
"Oh, did you find out? Hmm, should I have made it a little harder to understand...?
"Nah, um, bye. Anyone who can be wasted in so many ways, other than you."
Whatever their attitude is, something like a bitter laugh leaks when they're really the same about how the Somas aren't even scared of things instead of changing their attitude...... and lean their necks.
Something just happened that wasn't supposed to happen.
"- Ah. Name..."
Do you think I know your name? That's because this is still God. That much is possible. "
He shrugged his shoulders as if he had said so, as if he were a girl still looking.
But I knew very well that I was no one else.
Still, what fades emotions, such as a lot and a lot of fear compared to the first moment I saw it, is that this is what I started to get used to?
I don't really understand my emotions myself, but if the other person is really God, maybe that's what it is.
And if I thought it was just futile to think about it, there was only one thing left to ask.
I was not surprised by Satya's introduction earlier, but I had my doubts.
"Uh... I need to ask you one thing..."
"Oh, you don't need that kind of altered language, do you? I don't like that. I apprentice these two...... I want you to give me a break, but, well, do you want me to take it easy on you?
"... yes. Okay."
Is it because I heard the same dialogue yesterday?
I was so surprised at myself for accepting the word lightly.
But if it's unacceptable, anyway, if it's accepted, there's no problem.
When I was so convinced, I uttered the continuation of the words.
"Well, then... earlier, I was the next king of the devil's guide."
"Yeah, there's something warm you might wonder about?
"Yeah, there it is. 'Cause the Seven Heavens should be something to be elected from mankind, right?
That's why the Demons had homogeneous beings, such as Demon Heavenly Generals.
If they are to be elected from outside mankind, it should not be surprising that one or so of them should be elected to seven heavens.
Or, in fact, the seven heavens are the names that can be arranged with such complainants.
"- No? At least I don't remember saying a word about that, do I?
"... Huh? Because then the Devil's Heavenly General..."
"Seven Heavens is not simply chosen by force. Each has a condition for being properly elected, and they will not be elected unless that condition is met. In fact, some of them were vacant seats. I don't remember exactly the details, but maybe they didn't fit the terms."
"Hmm... or did you actually choose Seven Heavens?
Is it now because Soma doesn't have that much surprise in his fuzzy words, though I hope so?
In fact, if there really is a God in the Holy Capital, it is also so surprising that such things are decided by God.
"Oh, yeah, sort of.... It's a secret, huh? Eleonora's supposed to be choosing."
"I just feel like I'm gonna be treated like a magician when I tell someone."
"Well that would almost certainly happen. By the way, what Eina is saying is that the very separation between humans and demons was created by that human race? The Holy City should not have affirmed its view, and I do not think it is surprising that the Seven Heavens are not limited to mankind."
"... if you ask me."
"Well, is that one reason? I have a relationship in the Sacred Capital, and I try to be as neutral as possible. Oh, there was only one exception. Only the Demon King is an exception. I have the world in my hands."
"Oh, really? So what's soma... that? You said soma was insistent, didn't you?
Though we honestly haven't quite figured out yet whether Soma has become the Demon King or has become known as the Demon King, there is no doubt that at least the existence mentioned in the letter from the Empire is Soma.
So is that just what the Empire calls it on its own, or is Soma the exception...
"Uh... well, I'm honestly a little messed up around there... for now, Aina, do you have a problem remembering that Soma, you sure are the Demon King, but you also have the qualities to be chosen for the Seven Heavens?
In the end I remain unsure, but I was able to naturally convince myself that it was not because the person in front of me was God, but maybe because it was soma entanglement.
It's not uncommon for something that you don't quite understand to happen when soma is involved...... or almost every time.
If we can't convince ourselves without really knowing, we can't do it.
"I mean, I can actually say the same thing to you around there."
"What, I...?
"Yeah, because you're intricately intertwined with things. Well, that's our story, and you're likely to be chosen for seven days, so you don't have to worry."
"If you don't need to care, shouldn't you have told me from the beginning?
"Uh... sure. But look, I'm a god. If you ask me, I'll follow you."
"I don't think anyone asked for that right now...?
Watching such an exchange sideways, Eina nodded one as if she were satisfied with the answer to the question she had spoken for herself.
In the meantime, it seems possible to be chosen in seven heavens, regardless of what the devil tribe may be.
To be honest, I can't tell you how happy I am with that.
Even if they were really chosen for the Seven Heavens, that doesn't mean anything would happen.
It seems like it could be used for something as a dimension, but it's not like Eina has any advantages as an individual.
Just.
I guess it's because Satya said something weird.
For some reason, what came to mind was the sight of Sophia standing alongside Klaus, who was often looked after in a variety of ways.
If we were chosen for the Seven Heavens, we'd be like that.
"- Oh, yeah, yeah."
"Yikes......!?
You were so immersed in your thoughts that you didn't even think you were, the moment Satya called out to you, a scream was leaking out of your mouth reflexively.
Three pairs of eyes turned to me, slightly surprised by something, and I could see my face turning red.
"Uh... what?
"Oh, yeah... well, it's a little bit of a hang-up for the current story, isn't it?
I lean my neck towards the very content of the story that followed, while thanking you in my heart for continuing the story, albeit in a somewhat confusing way.
Is it that we still have something to talk about in relation to Seven Heavens...?
"Oh, rather than talking about the Seven Heavens, I'm talking about you being the Demon King... Eina will be one of us... at least you're going to be, right?
"... well, yeah. I wouldn't be here in the first place if I didn't mean to, and what I'm just leaving. Is that it?"
As a matter of fact, the role given to Aina by my father was, by the way, over.
For it was Aina's role to the point of giving the word, and since then she had been told to leave it to her own discretion.
So it can be Eina's will to stay on the spot... but if there are any conditions to be one of us?
Think that far, no. I reckon that's natural.
Even if he's a friend of Soma's, there's no way he can join us unconditionally.
And no matter what you think, trouble awaits.
It is also clear from the use of the word "companion," etc.
I haven't even heard the details yet, and no matter what they say, it's no wonder.
Whatever they say, keep your head in place.
"Yeah, well... I mean, could you fight you for a second, Soma?
"... Yes?
I accidentally leaked a dumb voice, but I must not be responsible for myself there.
Aina thought that in a corner of her head, looking at Satya's face with a grinning smile.
Strange and not so surprising.
No, more precisely, maybe I was already just too surprised to feel paralyzed.
But at least it's true it wasn't a big deal compared to the moment you stepped into this room.
