There was absolutely no feeling of showing mercy.

These guys... didn't even think of holding back!!!

So Kamijou started running at full speed.

"I am too naive. How could this happen? This is basically a way to kill me!"

The nuns, who were not sure if they were in contact with each other, stuck their heads out from all the alleys. These "spies" were all helping the main gun to aim. Although the boy felt a chill running down his back, at this point, he could only evade and move forward.

Although he had no time to observe carefully just now because of the severe pain and confusion, this time he could roughly see where the attack came from. It came from the Aalborg Tower as expected. In short, he could only concentrate on guarding against that place.

That's what he thought.

But the prediction was wrong.

Then, a flash of light similar to the previous one broke out from very close to Kamijou Touma’s side.

Unexpected.

He was unable to dodge. He hastily blocked it with his right hand, but what followed was a strong impact. His right shoulder felt explosive pain just like before, and he spun in the air.

The whole person was running around like a headless fly.

Swallowed by the light.

The instigator: Roman Orthodox Church.

The audience briefly experienced a few seconds of surprise.

soon--

As the camera turns.

Let us turn to the acquaintances in the Roman Orthodox Church.

Sister Janice, who had a history with Touma, was stunned.

She had never imagined that killing would turn out like this.

Thinking about how to proceed next.

But I never thought...

Kamijou Touma appeared from where she least expected him.

Unlike Accelerator who had to fight as soon as he came out.

This time, the person you meet face to face can be talked to.

Witness the guy you once had a connection with become the outlaw he is today.

It was difficult for Janice to suppress the doubts in her heart and not question the truth.

Why did Kamijou Touma, who was supposed to fight alongside the multinational coalition, become an ally of the enemy?

She stared at Kamijou Touma's expression with confusion.

Looking at the happy smile on this guy's face.

It’s like a camel that has been walking in the desert for a long time finally encounters an oasis.

The expression is a little bit disgusting.

"Will you listen to me? Will you listen to my explanation? Really?"

“…But I don’t really want to hear it. Besides, you’re giving off an annoying vibe now, like you’re showing off your girlfriend or pet or something like that!”

If she suddenly heard that the world had been destroyed and Othinus used the power of Imagine Breaker to restore everything to its original state, she probably wouldn't be able to understand it.

Kamijou tried to change his perspective a little.

“Although the people of the world were unaware, a long time had passed between the time we arrived at the ‘Sea Cemetery’ and the time Othinus was attacked. If I say so, do you believe me?”

“It’s hard to believe.”

"Then, can you explain why Othinus suddenly changed her mind? She should be able to kill the whole world as long as she completes the 'Lance' in the 'Sea Cemetery'. Why did she suddenly drop this matter and come to Denmark?"

“…Huh???”

Janice, still sitting in the chair, frowned her slender eyebrows.

...To put it bluntly, this is a psychological trick. First, propose an absolutely impossible request A, and then switch to a relatively easy request B. If you do this, it will be easier to pass than if you propose B at the beginning...This seems to have been supported by statistical data.

Fortunately, he listened carefully to Mr. Komeng’s lectures—Kamijo thought so from the bottom of his heart.

"Othinus is preparing to give up his power."

Kamijou said slowly.

"The way to give up is in Denmark. This is not a bad thing for us. Rather than causing a full-scale war and splitting the earth in two, it is better to let the other side disarm. This is definitely more constructive."

"…It sounds ideal, but I don't understand why Othinus suddenly changed his mind. Could it be that he was fooled by your sweet talk?"

Although the truth was that “a long time passed that only Kamijou and Othinus knew about,” even if he told her the truth, Agnese probably wouldn’t be able to accept it.

So Kamijou chose to talk about the main points and try not to mix in lies.

"Othinus, she is actually afraid of her own power."

"Are you afraid of something you would pursue even at the cost of turning the whole world upside down?"

"It's because it's in our hands that we're afraid. To be honest, the 'Lance' was already complete when we landed, although it was not done in the way we originally predicted. So, Othinus has been a perfect demon god and understands the truth of that power... But that kind of power may not only bring her joy."

The most troublesome part is probably the inability to explain that "Othinus has no fighting power at all."

Although it would be more confusing if I said it, but if I didn't, she would be the bad guy.

"Othinus plans to leave the Sea Cemetery and give up his demon power, but this is tantamount to betrayal for the Troublemaker. She understands this, but still comes here. Maybe there is still time to avoid the worst conflict, maybe there is still time to save the world and save Othinus. I want to bet on this possibility."

Janice was silent for a long time.

Even though it was completely incomprehensible on an emotional level, she at least understood that this could explain many of the current doubts.

"By the way."

In this situation, she spoke.

"What if I say 'still no'?"

"...If that's the case, we can only fight."

Kamijou gritted his teeth, and he was aware of this.

"But you should also understand. I'm not that easy to deal with because I have someone behind me."

"So……"

A heavy "clang" sound was heard.

Janice hooked the "Lotus Staff" on the ground with her toes and kicked it upwards.

She grabbed the symbolic weapon spinning in the air with one hand and said:

"It looks like this is the only way to go!"

Followed by.

The attack magic amplified by 2 billion times crushed the entire church floor equally.

...

"So why are they still fighting? They both seem to be talking happily!"

Witnessing this scene, Itsuwa behind the screen couldn't help but worry about Kamijou Touma. She was very worried about whether the boy, whose body was already riddled with holes, could continue to endure the difficulties and obstacles one after another.

at the same time.

I was also surprised why no one was willing to consider the legitimacy of what Touma said.

She was confused, puzzled and very puzzled.

It was not until the live broadcast room that someone gave an answer specifically for this Amakusa-style girl.

“Because all of you who support Kamijou Touma are watching from a bird’s eye view.”

In fact, this is not the first time that Gilgamesh has emphasized this sentence.

He gave this very obvious point long before when some viewers asked about [why many people can understand the protagonist's will and thoughts but still want to fight against the protagonist].

"This whole negotiation with the Roman Orthodox Church is a microcosm of the communication between opposites...Wuhe, you think they have to fight because of the different intelligence, but you are wrong - the truth is that they have to stick to their position, that's all."

This is what is happening with Roman Orthodoxy today.

“But – this stance is just a pretense, not a definite fight… If someone Kamijou Touma helped really shows up…”

"I guess something like the one in the video will happen."

Scarlet eyes fell into the video screen.

The oldest hero king watched the developments in the clip with interest.

. . . .

The only sound left in the room was the sound of debris falling.

This is the Ansgar Church. There is only one person left inside. Janice Santis carries the Lotus Staff and begins to communicate with the nuns in the distance.

"Yeah, that's right. He ran over here. I hit him with the Lotus Staff without saying anything, but it didn't seem to have any effect. I didn't feel like I was hitting him, so he might have slipped away. Expand the encirclement."

There was no emotion in the voice.

“Also, since the other party is showing hostility and the intention to flee, we have given up on the goal of ‘getting Kamijou Touma out of the battle line as soon as possible.’ Well, please inform ‘everyone outside’ of this as well.”

There was no intonation in the voice.

She concluded by declaring:

“Kamijo Touma has completely become an accomplice of the demon god Othinus. The two cannot be separated. From now on, if you want to target Othinus, you can only kill Kamijou Touma.”

The girl cut off the connection.

He exhaled softly.

Then Janice whispered softly:

"...Okay, just run away quickly."

There is no one else in the church.

Strictly speaking, the response came from a square hole in the floor.

"I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."

“Really? Please don’t forget that I have my own side. I don’t have any other excuses to use other than ‘I couldn’t stop the vicious criminal Kamijou Touma and let him escape.’”

"I will definitely repay you."

"Do you really know how difficult it is? The spell that attacks you, 'Fish for Dinner', has several complicated activation conditions. First, the Pope's personal order to lift it. Second, the hatred shared by two billion people... Othinus is now undoubtedly the embodiment of the world's fear. It can even be said that no one, including me, wants to support her - at least that's what people believe. I don't think it will be easy to reverse the situation."

"Even if this happens, I will definitely put an end to this chaos right here. I will."

Hearing this, Janice couldn't help scratching her head.

He had been saved by the boy's behavior, but he had also fallen heavily because of it. There were perhaps surprisingly few people who could observe Kamijou Touma from two different perspectives: the enemy and the friend.

And it is precisely because Janice is like this that she can be "objective".

Make the demon Othinus surrender.

Judging from her words and actions so far, this can be said to be absurd...but if it were this boy, he might be seriously thinking about such a stupid thing.

Chapter 209. The person standing in front of you

The escape journey of Kamijou Touma and Othinus begins again.

The sound of the montage stopped.

Just play the video alone.

Boys and girls.

Walking alone in the ice and snow, enduring the pain, and forging ahead.

The vast white snow fell on their heads.

The cold touch could not extinguish the bickering and laughter.
