If you don't do this, you can't just ignore it.
"…………"
"Hey, what's wrong, Captain?... Could it be that your dream is a little broken?"
Aki recalled that even though it was only a little bit, she admired the old woman's gentleness. Theon wondered if he was broken by what Theon had just said, but Ajit shook his head silently.
"I'm kind of concerned about something."
"What do you care about?"
"Before what happened this time, I had also heard the expression 'too tolerant of others'."
“Who is kind to others?”
Asking along the flow of the conversation, Xiaojing pointed her finger gently at Xion.
"It's you, the hummingbird once said that about you."
"...Is that what that bird said?"
"I didn't think much about it at the time, but Hummingbird clearly said that you were 'not a human being', and also admitted that you were a descendant of God, a being with a higher status than you."
"oh oh……"
"Besides, the old woman seems to think your smell is the 'smell of a fellow human being'."
There was a vague premonition, and she involuntarily distanced herself from Xiaojing.
Facing Xion like this, Ajit couldn't look away.
"You are recognized as a superior being by God's dependents, and as a compatriot by God. ... And then you call yourself 'Son of God', who are you?"
——Ah, this cannot be hidden.
Facing Ajit who looked directly at him with golden eyes, Xion's instinct was.
Who is Theon Istar?
This is a question that no one has asked about since Theon called himself a "magician" to the human army.
The human military has never mentioned it, and even if you ask yourself, you may not be able to tell the truth, but Ajit chose to raise this issue here.
No one can guarantee that Theon will answer honestly.
However, one should not turn a blind eye all the time, not to mention that Ajid wanted to know.
It is absolutely impossible to properly understand Theon without understanding the fundamental elements of him as a person.
Facing Ajid's gaze, Xion was neither joking nor evading, but just showed a hint of embarrassment.
Her expression was not just disgusting, but calm as if she could hear words like "There's nothing we can do."
"...Yes. Before discussing this topic, let's start with the definition of 'god' in [other world] and extraterrestrial society."
Xion, who said with a smile, "This is a special lecture on society outside Japan," seemed to be interested in answering Ajid's question.
Noticing this, Akit brought appropriate snacks and milk coffee from the corner of the room and placed them on the table.
This meets the conditions for the "social lectures outside of society" decided by the two.
"How polite." Xion smiled, took a sip of milk coffee, and then spoke slowly.
"What we call gods are classified according to whether the magic power contains the special attribute of being a god - called divinity. If there is, if God does not have it, then it is something else. It is very simple."
"It's said to be an attribute of God... we don't understand it at all."
"If we use a human analogy, it's probably a rare blood type or something. In short, it's enough to realize that you have characteristics that ordinary people think are rare."
This was too hasty, but Theon continued speaking without concern.
"In short, as long as there is divinity, no matter how big or small the magic power is, they are classified as gods. We know the hummingbird and the hag as two examples, so it is easier to imagine."
“The hummingbird claims to be a descendant of God?”
"God in a broad sense. But the lowest level."
"Do gods also have strengths and weaknesses and order?"
"The captain talks so fast."
Theon cleared his throat deliberately, took a breath, and began to speak again.
"As a god's level in the sequence of gods, just use the word godhead. Well, it's more complicated to say...it can't be judged simply by magic power."
"In addition to quantity, are there any other standards?"
"To put it simply, it's quality. If there is good quality, even if the quantity is average, the grade will be very high; if the quantity is high and the quality is low, the grade will also drop..."
"...Listen to your tone, do you have any clear standards?"
Faced with Ajid's question, Xion nodded silently.
"It's not something that can be quantified. If you're not a human being, you can know the level of quality by feeling... In the end, it's just feeling."
"It's the same with magic... Isn't the society outside the human world as a whole rough?"
Magic is used with vague things like imagination, and the vagueness of God's standards that I just heard is also obvious.
The weak ties between communities in 'Mother of Orbs' also seem to be rare in human society.
There is an overall tendency to value feelings and moods.
"That's of course, because like human society, without caring about numbers and benefits, isn't it strange to let birds and wolves live this kind of life?"
"That's true..."
"And even if he is called a god, he will sometimes lose to ordinary strong men who are not gods, so the whole person is very disharmonious."
Akit and Anna, who have survived in human society, may find it puzzling, but they seem to have no choice but to accept this tendency as "that's how it is."
"…Based on this, I want to get to the point."
Theon seemed to want to speak first, but fell into deep thought and closed his mouth.
Rather than saying that he was hesitating whether to say it or not, it was better to say that he was worried about how to explain it.
Xion pondered for a while, and finally looked directly at Ajit and Anna and spoke.
"'Son of God' refers to a person who has acquired divinity either innately or acquired."
"Wait a minute, if there is divinity, it will definitely be classified as a god."
"yes."
"So, that Son of God is classified as a god?"
"yes."
"...So, you are the 'Son of God', right?"
"...Oh, someone called me that."
Xion answered yes to all the things he had repeatedly confirmed.
The conclusion drawn from sorting out all the information is——
"Is Theon classified as a god in outside society?"
"Well, that's right."
After answering Anna's question easily, Theon slowly put the milky coffee into his mouth.
"...It's not like dropping a bomb and waiting alone!!!"
The moment Theon placed the mug with milky coffee on the table, Anna screamed as loudly as an explosion.
"I also knew you would have this reaction, so I tried my best to pretend as if nothing had happened."
"There is no need for such subtle concerns..."
Theon shrugged, as if to say "Ouch, ouch," and Akid fully agreed with Anna.
"Anyway, I know he is more special than you think. Can you tell me more about it?"
"...Captain, are you not as surprised as you thought?"
"I kind of expected it."
Although he did not expect such a ridiculous statement as "categorically speaking, he is a god", Theon deliberately used the definition of God as his opening remarks, as well as reminders such as Hummingbird and Oboro's attitude towards Theon. So that's it.
She had already expected that it was something different from ordinary people, so it was better than being unprepared.
"So where do you want to start?"
"Everything you have over the Son of God."
"...You asked rudely again."
Facing Ajit's question, Xion's expression was a little subtle, but he showed no hesitation or hesitation at all.
"I don't understand it at all. It's faster to concentrate on everything. ...Fortunately, you can still stay in this room for three days, right? I think this is a perfect opportunity to kill time."
A deliberately malicious smile would reveal an expression of disgust, but Theon didn't really hate it. Or rather, even if it's annoying right now, I'm afraid I'll forget it in a few hours.
The same goes for the conversation with Anna, where it seems like a little bickering or arguing would be easier for Theon.
"Then I'll just talk about it like an idler!"
As he spoke, Xion seemed to be trying to find a comfortable position.
From the looks of it, it seemed like it was really a long time, so I refilled my cup of coffee as if nothing had happened.
"Then let's start with the definition of the Son of God. As I said just now, the definition of the Son of God is a person who acquires divinity either innately or acquired."
"I know what you are born with is what you are born with, so what about the day after tomorrow?"
"There are all kinds of things. Being recognized and given power by a god with high divine status, or eating the flesh and blood of a god, or bathing in the flesh and blood of a god, or someone with a certain degree of magic awakening at a certain moment... …Everyone is different, so what’s the use of thinking deeply about it?”
