A possibility.
That’s right, from here on would be a story that is complete conjecture.
However, it needed to be spoken out.
It’s because if it wasn’t, then things wouldn’t start.
「The possibility that the Alva were something created by that person. I, am suspecting that.」
「……」
Luuty ruminated over Vermudol’s words, and thought about the meaning of them.
To create the Alva──to create Mazoku.
In other words, it meant to create life.
When thinking of the number of Alva, which were a new species of Mazoku, it wouldn’t be strange if someone were to have meddled with that flow of life.
When Luuty was about to open her mouth, Vermudol continued his words first.
「That isn’t all. I……am thinking that Shuklous was also prepared by that person.」
「That’s……」
As she was about to say “now that is impossible”, Luuty sank into silence.
What if the mastermind’s objective, was to kill Gramfia.
However, having reached this far, she didn’t understand the meaning of killing Gramfia.
Gramfia was a powerful Demon King, but to bring about fear and chaos to mankind’s territory, he was unnecessary to Shuklous.
「However……manipulating a Demon King isn’t something that anyone can do, you know?」
「True. But, there is one person that can. Someone that can create both the Alva and Shuklous……see.」
Luuty didn’t answer to those words.
Certainly, there was one──Somemon that could create both the Alva and Shuklous.
The God of Life Philia.
If it was Philia, who managed the seeds of life and governs over life, that certainly is possible.
Having lent her power to the summoning of the former Hero Ryuuya, she was also the one that granted them the oracles in order to defeat the Demon King.
Luuty arrived at one possibility, then looked at Vermudol’s eyes and asked.
「……Could you tell me just who it is that you are guessing it to be?」
「That’s obvious.」
Vermudol gave an immediate reply.
「It’s the God of Life Philia. I do not know as far as to why she would do such a thing, but as a possibility, I believe it to be considerably high.」
「……So it’s not like, you’re convinced of it.」
「If I were convinced of it, I would be making preparations for war right now.」
As Vermudol said that and shrugged his shoulders, Rokuna silently peeked over at him.
His words right now weren’t a lie, but they were the truth either.
There was no proof of it──but, he was actually convinced about it.
That is why Vermudol was trying to gather hands that he could play to the point that could be said to be excessive.
However, it seemed that Vermudol intended on concealing that from Luuty.
While making a yawn, Rokuna dropped her gaze on to the book in her hand looking uninterested.
「Is that, so.」
While keeping her gaze fixed on Vermudol, Luuty continued onto her next question.
「Well then, let’s suppose that the God of Life is the mastermind behind everything. What do you intend to do?」
「That question is one that thought about asking you. What do you intend on doing? I, intend to fight.」
[]
Going “I see”, Luuty started thinking.
There was no mistake that Vermudol was focused on fighting against the God.
With his remark just now, that face was something she could completely understand.
And then, Luuty’s answer was also something that was decided.
「……If, the God is the mastermind, I believe there is a need to inquire about her intent.」
For Luuty, the idea that the God of Life is the mastermind left behind some suspicions.
They were able to make hypotheses, but there wasn’t a single piece of evidence.
However……she also couldn’t just agree to it.
The 「truth」 that Vermudol thought of certainly is something that mankind wouldn’t even imagine.
However, as long as there was no evidence, she couldn’t believe in it immediately.
「If it’s about the God’s intent, then you will understand immediately.」
As if reading Luuty’s thoughts, Vermudol muttered.
「I have destroyed the scenario that God created. If she plans on being fixated on it, then she will surely be rushing to make corrections right away.」
「Scenario……?」
「Yeah.」
Curving the corners of his mouth, Vermudol expressed a small smile.
「The scenario where the Hero defeats the Demon King and brings peace to the world.」
But, he had no intention of following that scenario.
Using his function as the Demon King to its maximum degree up until now, he greatly shook up mankind’s territory.
The St. Altlis Kingdom.
The Cylas Empire.
The Jiol Forest Kingdom.
The Canal Kingdom.
From these four major nations, the Jiol Forest Kingdom was detached.
This act had several meaning to it.
First, it was meant to be a symbol of friendship to the Mazoku in mankind’s territory.
Second, it was meant to be a base for action for the Mazoku in mankind’s territory.
Third, it was meant to destroy the troublesome thing known as the 「justice of all of mankind」.
For the sake of mankind and Mazoku from now on, the 「justice of all of mankind」 would be in the way.
In actuality, despite having been saved when they had drifted ashore onto the Dark Continent, Borkio betrayed Vermudol’s kindness for the sake of the 「justice of all of mankind」.
As long as the Mazoku were imprinted as the enemy to mankind, there was logically nothing that could be done about it……but for Vermudol, it was something extremely bothersome.
Therefore, by destroying the relationships of the four major nations, he put pressure on mankind’s state of mind, and made them carry suspicions towards the 「justice of all of mankind」.
The fourth and final meaning, was something that he could not tell Luuty at the present point.
