Chapter 403
(403) The things I wish to save
Translator: Tseirp
“Please teach me the method to save this world . ”
Miri sighed after I conveyed my request .
“It would be fine even if Onii doesn’t push yourself? The opponent is a G.o.ddess-sama turned Demon G.o.d and the Hero . Even if the world is headed for destruction, only monsters will overflow from dungeons and the world will become a place that is more difficult for humans to live in . Koshmar’s words were a little exaggerated . To be honest, it doesn’t involve us . We should just leave it to the G.o.ddesses . ”
“But, even if you say that …”
“Don’t worry, I’ll tell you a method to save the world . ”
“Really!?”
As expected of Miri . For every step ahead I see, she sees a thousand steps ahead .
“I just have to become a G.o.ddess . ”
“Wha ……”
“Demon G.o.ds are G.o.ds . The power of a G.o.ddess is needed to compete with them . If it’s me, I can become the strongest ever G.o.ddess . ”
Libra said that day .
『Miri-san, who is the top of the list to be suitable as a G.o.ddess . I won’t force you but please put some consideration into it for the sake of saving the world . 』
Miri postponed it but it looked like she had decided to become a G.o.ddess .
But, that …
“No!”
“Why?”
“A G.o.ddess is formed for the sacrifice of an innocent girl … in other words, you have to die once . ”
“I have already died three times . ”
Miri remarked .
As Kaguya, she was a human sacrifice to stop the eruption of Mount Fuji .
As Famiris Raritei, she fought the Hero and lost .
Finally, as Kusunoki Miri, she mysteriously killed herself at the summit of Mount Fuji .
She had already experienced three deaths even though it should only be once in a life .
“Isn’t it amazing? If it was in the Guinness World Records, it would definitely be a solid record . ”
“ … This is the Otherworld so it won’t be a world record . ”
“Ahaha … that’s true . Right, there is a method to prevent me from becoming a G.o.ddess . ”
“ … Eh?”
“How about Onii marries me here? See, G.o.ddess can only be formed from innocent girls . If Onii defiles me here … sorry, now is not the atmosphere to make such jokes . ”
“ … Yeah, that wasn’t funny . I can’t do that to my younger sister . ”
I said but a load was lifted from my shoulders .
“Right, I am truly an idiot . What saving the world . That’s pretentious . I am Jobless, an unreliable master to Haru and Carol, a savior of the Dark-Elves beyond my means, just a fellow countryman for Marina and Suzuki, and to Miri –”
I looked at Miri .
Her eyes .
My younger sister’s eyes .
“I am Miri’s brother . It is enough as long as the brother saves the younger sister . ”
What about the world? Saving the world is the Hero’s job . Not my job . In the first place, Jobless has no job .
If Jobless has no job, then I will do my job as a brother right .
“I will not allow you to become fodder for other people’s happy ending . n.o.ble sacrifice is a load of c.r.a.p . ”
“No, Onii . If you say that, I will … truly … even though I can’t lose heart . ”
Tears floated in Miri’s eyes .
“It doesn’t matter!”
“The world wishes for me . To try to make me a G.o.ddess . Does Onii plan to protect me even if it turns the world into your enemy!?”
“If the world wishes to kill you, I will become a Demon Lord and crush the world . I am Jobless so I have been fighting the world from the very beginning . ”
“That’s unreasonable, Onii . ”
Miri said with teary eyes and I wiped it off with my finger .
I knew that I was being unreasonable .
To oppose the G.o.ddesses? I couldn’t even fight against the Hero .
“Thank you . I will never forget Onii’s feelings . But to make the world your enemy . And to do so for me …”
Just as Miri spoke to that point .
“Ah …”
She seemed to have realised something .
“What’s wrong?”
“Wait, shut up!”
Miri said and held my hand .
She then moved my right hand and put it on her mouth .
“There might be … just one method . A way to save the world . ”
“Without killing you?”
“Yup . But it is quite impossible –”
“It is natural for a brother to perform unreasonable tasks to save his younger sister . ”
“Isn’t it to save the world?”
“That’s just an added bonus . ”
Miri seemed to have resolved herself with my remark .
And then, Miri told me an outrageous suggestion .
“Onii, I’m going to have you become a Demon Lord from now!”
※※※
Miri’s suggestion was certainly outrageous .
Becoming a Demon Lord wasn’t it .
Instead, it was what came after becoming the Demon Lord .
However, after hearing her out, I thought that there was certainly a possibility .
A way to save both my younger sister and the world .
“Haurva, you’re there, right?”
“Yes, Miri-sama . ”
Haru came out from the log house with a plate full of omelets . Along with Pionia . They were waiting in the log house while Miri and I spoke .
“You heard our conversation?”
“No, I did not, I had folded my ears . ”
Haru said and flattened her ears . I knew that she could move her ears slightly but I didn’t know she could flatten it like so .
Haru with her folded ears was extremely cute .
“What about you?”
“I heard everything . I recorded all of master’s cool lines . 『If the world wishes to kill you, I will become a Demon Lord and crush the world . I am Jobless so I have been fighting the world from the very beginning . 』”
“Stop it! It’s embarra.s.sing to hear it on repeat!”
That Pionia, she acquired the recording function after becoming a half-cyborg?
“Then, we can tell Haurva later . We . ”
“Are going immediately?”
“After we have breakfast . ”
Miri said and put ketchup on the omelet placed on the table .
