Episode 90

Two days later.

Leona returned to me once again as I was staying in the Demonic Cult’s building to avoid the eyes of the Bone Fortress.

“……It really only took two days.”

48 hours.

Leona returned in exactly that amount of time, no more, no less.

When I stuck my tongue out at the time she had been guarding so sharply, she shrugged and said.

“Isn’t it natural for a knight to calculate the time accurately?”

“Isn’t that something a scholar or researcher would say, not a journalist?”

If you think about it that way, I should have been better at keeping time.

Anyway, when she returned after two days, she looked quite tired, but in proportion to that, there were traces of preparation on her body.

Potions hanging from the waist and secondary weapons such as daggers.

A greatsword that was not only heavy but also sharp, and even armor that looked like it had been reforged.

It seemed like they had prepared very well.

“By the way, nothing has changed for you? Didn’t you prepare anything?”

“Because I’ve already done everything I originally planned to do here.”

If I were to climb this tower by some means I’ve never tried before, like magic or swordsmanship, I’d better prepare.

But I have already reached the pinnacle of necromancy.

At my current level, I’ve already done everything I can to become the strongest I can be, so to speak, I’m always prepared.

“Well, then it doesn’t matter. Let’s hurry up and go to the 20th floor. We’re wasting time.”

“I was going to do that even if you didn’t say anything.”

Swish.

A gate that appears when you place your hand on the translucent window that had been floating around for a while.

I immediately pushed my body towards the inside, where I felt an even more strange energy than before.

The difference was that this time I wasn’t the only one going through it.

“Shut up-.”

As I moved towards Leona, who had followed me in, the gate slowly began to close.

“Is this the 20th floor?”

Let’s look around. It was a completely different sight from the previous floors.

It was a sky-blue scene with no earth, no sky, and no walls at all.

It felt like I was on the 10th floor, at the judgment seat.

Then, is there a manager on this 20th floor too?

“It’s the same here as when I came.”

Meanwhile, Leona, who had already been here once and was familiar with the place, was looking around with a familiar face rather than being flustered.

No, to be exact, he was staring intently at one spot.

“huh?”

As I stared at the same place she was looking at, a dot began to appear in the space filled with sky blue.

It was a dot that suddenly appeared in a landscape filled with blue sky, and I was concentrating even more on it because it seemed so suspicious, when the dot started to move.

No, to be exact, this space was moving.

Ssuk-.

Like flowing water, the sky blue space was sucked towards that point.

The space where the sky blue had been sucked away in an instant had become a colorless black color, leaving only darkness.

Swish, swish!

The dot, which had absorbed the sky blue so violently that it matched that sound, slowly took shape.

First came the arms, which creaked and burst out, then the stubby legs, then the tiny waist and torso, and last of all the face with its swirling eyes and tangled hair.

[Hoo!]

It made that sound as if it was very difficult, then it shook off its clothes and walked towards us.

I had no idea who this little boy was, who looked to be no more than ten years old, but Leona, who was next to me, immediately bowed politely to him and greeted him.

“Hello, God of Magic.”

God of magic.

As soon as I said that, the child’s expression distorted upon hearing it.

[Ouch, that’s right! I was trying to fool that guy, but what if I hit the trigger!]

A young child who is upset, as if annoyed that his or her play has been interrupted.

But even so, he did not deny Leona’s words.

“The God of Magic?”

So, is this child in front of me now a magic god?

As I was thinking that, the child seemed to realize something and waved his hand with an “Ah” sound.

[By the way, you once fought with a guy who impersonated me, right? It’s okay! I’m the real God of Magic!]

And then he snaps his hand.

Immediately after that, my vision darkened.

And after some time passed.

Thud!

With that sound, a light from the sky began to shine down on the guy, as if to draw his attention to himself.

[I know that kid is a jerk, but let me introduce myself again! I am the God of Magic, the ruler and general of all phenomena made of mana!]

Flick.

As he leapt into the air, pigeons flew out around him, a fedora was soon placed on his head, and small sparks and firecrackers began to burst in the air.

For a moment, I was a little taken aback by the sight of him looking more like a clown than a god.

Soon, he flicked his hand again, and the surroundings changed into a neat and tidy room.

And Leona and I were sitting on the same sofa at the table in the middle of the room, facing him.

‘… … When did that happen?!’

While I was bewildered at my condition, where I was sitting even though I should have been standing, he chuckled and explained.

[You’ll be meeting a lot of guys like me in units of 10 floors in the future, so don’t be surprised. You’ve probably already met that manager.]

At that moment, the image of Henette on the 10th floor came to my mind.

So does that mean that at least a manager-level person will appear in the 10th floor quest?

‘Then… … this guy must be strong, at least at the level of an administrator.’

I let my guard down because it looked like a small child, but it was much bigger than I thought.

There was a reason Leona became polite the moment she saw him.

[Okay, before we start the quest, let me ask you a question! Do you know why I was assigned to the 20th floor?]

Clap clap.

He gathered everyone’s attention by clapping his hands and stretched his upper body towards me.

Although she was only a child and couldn’t even get halfway across the table, it was quite a burdensome sight to see her swirling eyes focused on me.

“Why don’t you just get your face out of the way before you speak?”

The magic god once again turned his face away from me at my words.

He added a word as if to urge an answer.

[Don’t think too hard about it~ This is just my personal question. It has nothing to do with the quest, right?]

Then why are you asking?

Although I had that thought, as the information from the layers I had climbed up to that point began to come to mind one by one, the answer came surprisingly easily.

“……Is there magic involved on every floor, that’s it?”

[Hmm, well. I’m not a wizard! If you know that much, you’ll understand quite a bit!]

He immediately remembered someone who seemed to have figured it out on his own, and raised his finger with an “Ah.”

[By the way, wasn’t the 16th floor the floor I was assigned to? Was it the same there too?]

“Well… all the guys there were guys who knew how to use magic.”

Even that Dryad guy was someone who knew how to use special magic.

[Hmm, really? I should visit there sometime later!]

Leona opened her mouth slightly towards the God of Magic, who was nodding his head as if interested.

“excuse me…….”

[Oops! That’s right. I should have given you the quest just now, right? Sorry!]

The original purpose came back as if it had already been forgotten.

… … Something doesn’t seem believable.

‘Is this guy really the God of Magic?’

From my perspective, having already experienced a guy who called himself the god of magic, this was an issue I had to be cautious about.

So, carefully, at that moment, I activated the eye that sees mana that was in my left eye.

Ugh.

For a moment, I felt something rushing into my head, and soon something started flowing out of my nose.

At that time, I was unable to grasp the events that had happened so quickly.

[Oh! Do I need to wipe it?]

A magical god who pretends to be surprised when he sees me like that and hands me something that looks like a handkerchief.

As I happened to catch it and wiped my nose, all the information that had just occurred to me was instantly erased from my mind.

‘… … Memory deletion?’

This familiar feeling was clearly that of magic, but at least I didn’t see him casting a spell on me.

That means… …in this handkerchief right now?

[You have some handy-looking eyes! But I guess it’s better not to use them here?]

He looked down at the handkerchief and saw that it was soaked in dark blood.

Did this guy know from the beginning?

“……Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

[Hahaha! Sorry! But I like kids like you!]

He is a child himself, but he calls me a child.

Of course, if we only consider the years we’ve lived, I might be a child to that guy.

“Uh…… Uh……?”

Only Leona, who had no idea what was going on, was just blankly staring at me and the God of Magic.

Of course, the two of us didn’t even care about her anymore.

[To seek the truth, to go to the end, and to achieve what you want! Isn’t that the charm of magic? Don’t you know that?]

“Get what you want…….”

Certainly, all the wizards I’ve seen since the 11th floor had their own ideals.

From the grand ideal of wanting everyone to be prosperous to the greedy ideal of wanting to have the world at one’s fingertips.

And all of these ideals had something in common.

“I don’t even care what happens to other people.”

[Hahaha! How can magic develop if you care about others? Truth is something that deviates from morality and reality! If you want to achieve what you want, you have to overcome even that!]

“So, of all the worlds you’ve seen so far, there hasn’t been a single one that was sane?”

From the 11th floor to the 19th floor, it was impossible to find a single world that was even slightly sane.

Even if the world looks normal on the outside, it is so unstable that it seems like it could collapse in an instant if you just touch it.

[I told you, I like guys who seem a bit reckless like you.]

To my answer, the God of Magic simply smiled and replied.

[Magic is something that guys like you create! Of course, it’s good to have kids who make existing paths more solid, but I guess it’s inevitable that people like you who create paths that didn’t exist before will pay attention to you?]

“At least I have never brought my world to the brink of destruction.”

[You might, but most people don’t.]

The magic god says so with a bitter smile.

I thought you were speaking calmly until now, so why are you suddenly making such a bitter expression?

That was when I was thinking about that.

[Okay, let’s stop small talk for now! If you want to talk more, let’s take my test first and then finish talking!]

With those words, a system window appeared before my eyes.

[20th floor quest.]

[Get recognition from the God of Magic.]

A window that only contains content, with no rewards or penalties.

As I was dumbfounded by the sight, the God of Magic threw his hat into the air and began to transform his body.

[The guy on the 10th floor judged it just by looking at it, but I’m a little different! To fully judge the path you took, there’s nothing better than fighting it yourself!]

The appearance of the magical god transformed in that way was extremely familiar.

“……spider?”

[Why am I calling… … .]

King of the Chimeras, the Spider.

When the guy’s appearance as he was before his death was revealed to me, even the spider in my inventory was startled for a moment.

[Of course, there will be a difference between your strength now and your strength back then, so I have adjusted my strength accordingly!]

It was at that time that I was blankly staring at the spider, whose appearance seemed so foreign, as if another personality had entered its body.

“Now is the time!”

Leona, who had been standing blankly behind me, called out to me.

“If you pledge your allegiance now, you will become stronger and be able to easily pass the trials generated based on your current state.”

“……what?”

Is it okay to pass like that?

With that thought in mind, I looked up at the spider… no, the magic god, but he just stared at me with his arms crossed.

“Come on!”

Leona, who urges me on like that.

At that moment, I was about to ask her how I could swear allegiance to her.

‘… … Now that I think about it, this was also a quest.’

Suddenly, a thought occurred to me.

If the quest reward is based on achievements, wouldn’t it be more beneficial for me not to do that loyalty contract?

And that wasn’t all.

‘… … The reason Bella keeps sending me to higher floors is to help me grow.’

But if I use tricks like this to easily complete quests, can that really be considered my complete growth?

No, rather, isn’t it something that hinders my growth?

‘… … .’

After countless worries, I finally.

“Leona.”

Hold her hand.

“I’m sorry, but I’ll have to postpone it a little longer.”

I had no choice but to tell her that.

And towards me like that.

[Haha! Okay!]

The god of magic shouted like this.
