"Anyway, let's have breakfast."
After the sudden suggestion, the village chief and Daisuke came to the shrine with a simple breakfast.
In front of Aki and the others who stepped into the company again, several kinds of rice balls, fried eggs and miso soup were placed on a low table that had been prepared at some time.
"Suddenly there was a sense of life."
"Originally, my body doesn't need to eat so frequently...but the extra meals are so delicious that I don't even know it."
The village chief smiled at Abao's praise. Abao clasped his hands together and said, "I'm starting." Then he picked up a rice ball and started eating it.
Seeing such a scene, it seems that Oboro is the patron saint of the village.
"Easter, Oni-sama is a god...what is it?"
"This is also a change of times, right? Don't some god's dependents use the mail order from the Witch Grocery Store?"
There is indeed such a statement, but Aki can't deal with it.
Xion didn't care about Ajid's confusion, clasped his hands and said "I'll eat", and stretched his chopsticks towards the fried eggs.
"Is it time to eat calmly?"
"That's what I say, but I haven't eaten anything since lunch yesterday. Captain, it's the same, right?"
"Having said that..."
"Wouldn't it be more rude not to touch the food that was finally served?"
"Yeah, it doesn't feel good to be too wary."
Although I couldn't let go after being persuaded by two people who were just about to start killing each other, I really felt sorry for the village chief and the others who had finally prepared.
Finally, Aki folded his hands honestly.
After breakfast, in the shrine where the village chief and Daisuke left, Ajit and Xion faced Oboro again.
"Since the little boy in heaven has fulfilled his promise, he will not take action against humans because of what happened yesterday... But there is still a problem."
"Is that a problem?"
"Well, even if what happened yesterday has passed, something similar may not happen, right?"
The head of the branch who issued the call for a crusade against Goboro passed away, and the human military base in Suruga Bay also suffered corresponding damage.
At least there won't be another crusade against Opalo right away, but as time goes by, that won't be possible.
Since there is already a plan to build a base, and Miharo comes to make trouble, then something like this will definitely happen again somewhere.
"Even if something similar happens next time, it has nothing to do with the agreement last night. I have no reason not to kill someone."
Ah Shao's eyes were very sharp when he said this, and it could be seen that what he said was neither a lie nor a joke.
But the next moment, the sharp light disappeared.
"However, I don't take the initiative to kill people. I am a god who only has people."
"...because of someone?"
"Because I was sacrificed and gained godhood."
It is said that Opal is a being who receives human prayers and thoughts and becomes a god.
That's why I don't want the old woman to kill people pointlessly. It’s better to say it’s hopeless…
"Let's not talk about this for now. If this continues, one day the human army will conflict with the Oni-sama. In that case, there will be nothing we can do next time."
Theon secretly said that he would not protect him next time.
Although Ajit himself does not want Theon to suffer this blow, if the next war occurs, Ajit and Theon may not be able to interfere.
In that case, it will inevitably cause huge harm to mankind.
"What, as long as it doesn't turn into that."
Contrary to the serious faces of Ajit and Xion, Oboro's attitude was very relaxed.
It seems he has some plan.
"I plan to cross over after this..."
Although Ajit didn't remember the word "cross", he could feel the surprise of Xion sitting next to him.
Just from this alone, I can be sure that it is something like that.
"Istar, what do you mean by crossing the river?"
"To put it simply, it's to go to [another world]."
"Go to [another world]??︎"
Faced with Ajit's almost scream, Xion nodded silently.
"The great magic that crosses the world's barriers and enters another world is crossing."
"This time, I plan to take everyone in the village with me on the trip."
"...Please wait a moment. Doesn't it matter if you take people to [another world]?"
[Alien World] is a world where people outside the world live. Bringing humans there would be the same as bringing people other than people from [another world] here. Wouldn't there be a risk of persecution?
"There's no problem. There are people living there."
I was really worried, but the other person gave me an understatement, which made me feel ridiculous. And it contains a message that cannot be ignored.
"Are there humans in [Alien World]?"︎
"Eh? Didn't I tell you that?"
"First time I heard of it!"
"We'll talk about these details later. Listen to me now."
Abao comforted Xiaojing, took a breath, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"For humans, if you think that I and this village are in the way, can't you just retreat? ... I just don't have enough people when crossing the river, so I want to use your strength."
Although it takes the form of a commission, Oberlo's proposal is tantamount to the only way to prevent possible future problems.
Apollo, who had a smile on his face, understood this.
Although they knew that they were completely in each other's hands, Ajit and Xion had no choice.
In short, I understand that Abao wants to safely withdraw from this land - or even this world.
But after listening to it, I have a question.
"If there is a way to go to [the other world] and take away the villagers, why haven't we done that until now?"
If you want to cross over to [another world] here, at least you already know the method.
Considering the villagers' attitude toward Apollo and their distrust of the human military, it's hard to imagine them objecting.
If you didn’t want to fight the human army from the beginning and simply decided to move to [another world] this time, and you didn’t have any attachment to this land, why didn’t you do that until now?
"The first is simply a lack of spiritual power."
"...created so many clones and deployed a powerful defensive wall?"
"Don't say it's a place on earth, it's just a space transfer to another world. It's impossible without considerable magic power."
Since Oboro and Xion both advocated this, Ajid, as a layman, had no way to refute.
But if you think about it calmly, if it is "crossing different worlds", it must be an incredible magic that is higher than the various magics I have seen from Theon so far.
It’s not surprising even if corresponding resources are required.
"Another point is that if you focus on crossing the river, the defense will be neglected."
"Defense?"
"If you want to cross the river, you won't be able to cross it right away. There might be monsters gathering while the village is unprepared."
"Is it going to take that long?"
"Yeah... If it's just an old woman, it's okay. If you want to bring everyone in the village, it will take about thirty minutes to prepare, right?"
Theon's answer only lasted thirty minutes, but in retrospect, within five minutes of Oboro's barrier disappearing yesterday, bad luck struck this area.
This village has no defense except for rags. If it is attacked, it may not be able to survive for even ten minutes.
Hearing this, I could guess what Abao wanted Xiaojing and the others to do.
"In other words, you want us to be responsible for the defense of the village during the crossing?"
"That's it. It's nice of you to say it so quickly."
Ajid seemed to have guessed correctly, and Abao nodded happily.
"In order to cross the river, the barrier covering the village must be unlocked. If it is unlocked, a monster will bite you immediately, so I hope you can avoid it."
"It's so simple, so good."
"Simple but not necessarily simple..."
If we only consider driving away intruders and others approaching the village, the task is simple, but we don't know how many people are approaching the village.
When I think about what happened yesterday, I don’t know what will happen.
"At least it won't be like yesterday. ...Probably."
"Let me tell you first, if you answer the phone like yesterday, you won't be able to cope with it, right?"
Oboro's proposal was ultimately aimed at Ajit and Xion.
Even if it is related to the interests of the human army, it is difficult to cooperate with the human army in combat. Even if it can be done, it can only be "Mistoltin" at best.
"No, no, whether I can handle it or not depends on my efforts."
Seeing Theon laughing away Ajit's concerns, Ajit realized that he and Theon had different ideas.
"Istar, do you plan to deal with it alone?"
