Chapter 4: The Great Sage’s Scheme

Oh no ……

I might really get caught up in this and die……

But as they stared at each other, no flashy battle ensued, and after a while, the tension was broken by Kangiten’s next words.

「So, who am I supposed to confront?」
「…… What?」
「What did you say?!」

I raised my voice in an absurd manner.

Warren Hastings did the same, 『No way. No, this situation is—』. His expression changed dramatically.

I really don’t think it’s possible, but is Kangityen really saying that after weighing me and Warren? Warren would be surprised. No, I rather feel sorry for him. As I thought before, it’s a 〈Stone〉 and a 〈Hero〉. There is just no way to compare. Or does this Kangyten, the elephant god, really mean that he doesn’t really understand the difference in human ability? I know if it’s in units of 1 meter, but I don’t know if it’s in units of 1 millimeter. Or did you just want to provoke Warren?

❝Kangyten⇉ Kangiten❞

While I was puzzling over Kangiten’s question, Warren gently placed the hilt of the sword in his hand on his forehead and began to chant some kind of spell. Then, a circle of light was released around Warren—

Shortly after.

As expected, my eyes widened.

After all, before I knew it, Kangiten was surrounded.

There were countless people who looked like magicians. And at their feet, for some reason, there was a stone, shaped like that of a human head. It was like an eerie stone circle.

And behind Kangiten, as if to unite these magicians, there was an old man wearing a strange robe that seemed to writhe in the darkness, in contrast to the glittering of Waren. As usual, a window emerges as I quickly gaze at it.

❝Seriously? Child? Age=72!❞

「Josiah-sama! Why are you here?」

When Warren raised his voice in confusion, Josiah Child, rather the Great Sage, sneered.

「I don’t think you’re inadequate for the job, but it’s his will that we should take every precaution.」
「Perfect? Your will? Are you sure it’s His Majesty’s order?」
「That’s right! I’m going to kill the four gods. Isn’t is more appropriate for me to leave my name in the history books, as I have been contributing to it for a long time, rather than the younger Sir. Don’t you think so, Sir?」
「Damn. You’ve fooled His Majesty. You old raccoon…」

Then, as if to interrupt their conversation, Kangiten snorted.

「Now, then, are we to assume that all the soldiers present are enemies?」

Hey! Wait a minute!
I’m not an enemy. I’m harmless. I’m just a 〈Stone〉.

Before appealing for irrelevance, Josiah raised the cane he had in his hand to heaven and said it.

「Now! It’s time to mourn, one of the 4 gods!」
「This spell is—?」

This time, Warren’s astonishment coincided with Kangyten’s dismay.

Then, countless grids(lattices) of black thorns rose up from the stone circle, and in no time at all, a dark cage was completed, restraining Kangiten.

In an attempt to resist, Kangiten threw himself against the grids with all his might, but was consumed by the thorns and then writhed in agony as he was scorched by the black flames. It may be that Kangiten had underestimated his opponent, but he had really trapped one of the 4 gods in the hands of the human race. Perhaps because of that, Josiah was so proud of himself.

「Now, Lord Waren! Use your holy divine weapon to slay this dark cage as well. It’s time to kill the gods!」
「Tch— I know what I’m doing!」
「By the way kill that shabby kid over there. You’re an eyesore on the stage of the God Killer.」

I was astonished.

I looked at Josiah and he looked down at me and said, 「Hmph」.

When I looked at Warren, he gritted his teeth and said quietly,

「I’m sorry. I don’t know your name, boy. I don’t know why you’re here, but I’m afraid I can’t let you leave alive. At least let’s kill him in an instant, painlessly.」

Warren readied his sword.

I could only inch back.

However, I was only a few steps away from the prison of black thorns that held Kangiten.

If I bumped into him, I would be charred to a crisp without a trace. I looked around and saw that there were still many magicians left, and there was no way I was going to be able to escape. At least if I had the promised cheats for transferring to another world, I might have been able to get away with it, but at best, you can only get such things in stories.

The reality is not that sweet. All is not well in the world. ……

Then there’s only one thing to do.

That’s right.

At least…

Before I die in a flash…

Let’s eat some curry.

That’s what I thought.

I don’t mind if you laugh at me.

In the first place, I died because I missed eating curry in the previous world as well. ……

I don’t think it would be convenient for me to be transferred somewhere else next time, so I hope I don’t have any regrets. At best, eat your fill. They’ll at least let you have your last supper, I thought. I thought about it, took a small Phew~ breath, and tried to hum my skills.

I didn’t think that at this moment, it would not only help me…

I didn’t know that it would not only help me, but would eventually overrun the entire world.
