No Fatigue: 24-jikan Tatakaeru Otoko no Tenseitan - Chapter 59

59. Questions for the Goddess Part 4(Myths)

Whats left were the questions related to myths.

Bad guys being unable to see fairies whats the reason for that?

Thats simple. If there are too many Curses comprising ones status, they become unable to recognise fairies, beings that are created from pure Gifts.
This is directly correlated to Gifts and Curses slightly shifting the register of existence of their owners.

Regarding Gifts and Cursesignoring the fact that Im on the benevolent gods side, and that Goleth and Gazaine were on the Evil Gods sidehow are Elemia, Miguel, and all the others in who were brainwashed, treated?
And the villains whove repented, or the good people whove been involved in evil deeds Im also curious about what happens to them.

The samsara system extends throughout the world lets see, its fine to think of it as something akin to a plumbing system.
Its fundamentally something that exists to distribute Gifts, but the Evil Gods side has abused it, using it to circulate Curses.

However, its not as if it can differentiate between good and evil in regards to the recipients and distribution of Gifts.

In other words, as long as the Evil God hasnt conferred any Curses upon them, even bad people can receive the benefit of Gifts.

Thats why the Evil God will certainly want to send Curses to those who he intends to use as chess pieces.

Furthermore, if the reformed villains are from the Evil Gods side, then theyll be absconding with their Curses, so theres the possibility that theyll be subjected to the collection of a Curse.

Also, regarding good people whove gotten involved with evil deeds, since its possible that they will be lured away by the Evil Gods side and be conferred their first Curse, dont forget that there are also people who havent yet fallen to the Evil God, even though theyve carried out evil deeds.

What about in s case?

In s case, they were influenced by brainwashing, so theyre special.

Its a method of converting good people into villains while still remaining good people, so to speak.

Hm? Then this situation of good people being brainwashed in and defeating monsters, wouldnt that result in collecting the monsters Curses and being given Gifts through you?
Isnt this unfavourable to the Evil God?

Well Im not the Evil God, so its not like I understand everyone of the others thoughts.

I would think they only thought to strengthen the combat power in hand by hunting monsters.

Rather, he might even think that hes profiting because he can strengthen his pawns without granting the Curses he has in store.

But then, Monguenues thinking is extremely heterogeneous, so there are parts that only the person himself understands.

About Curses, cant they be detected by magic or something?
It seems like it would be considerably easier if they could.

I believe Melby-san will intuitively notice apostles of the Evil God like Goleth and Gazaine.
Youve found a good partner.

P-partner, you say

Melby writhed around with her hands on her cheeks.

However, if the other party becomes so inclined to attempt to hide, its possible that even Melby-san wont notice.

Come here, Melby-san.

Y-y-y-yes!

Fufu. Calm Down.

The goddess smiled as she said that, but there was a vague fragrance of the forbidden.
The goddess gently brought her lips closer to Melby as though loving a flower

*Snap*

She was flicked by something invisible.

Ah, ow ow

A-are you alright?

The moment the goddess was to kiss her, something like a wall of light suddenly appeared, obstructing in between the goddess and Melby.

The goddess said in indignation,

Good grief! That child doesnt change!

That child?

Attiera, the god of magic, views me as a rival.

Attiera doesnt like that and told me to hand them over, but its difficult to separate the magic skills alone.

Hmm I wonder what I should do.
Thats it.

The goddess raises her head and looks at Melby.

Melby-san, will you let me see your potted Rainbow Cactus plant?

O-okay.

Melby retrieved the aforementioned mysterious organism from her dimensional storage.

I feel like it has grown a little bigger compared to how it was before.
In the short time I havent seen it, the colour of the flowers has changed to silver.

Melby-san, have you tried using [Appraisal] on this?

Yes, the first time I used [Appraisal], it appeared to be fine to give it mana, so I gave it some of my mana every day.

Can you try using [Appraisal] one more time right now?

Yes E, eehhhhh!?

Ah, so she really hadnt noticed.
Since I have a chance, I also use [Appraisal] once again.

Tushaaravati

Skills

[Growth Control]

([Aurora Magic] 1)

Yup, still just like a mysterious organism.

On top of its maximum MP steadily increasing, it even acquired an ability without us knowing.
Abilities should be an innate ability but was it something that could increase?

Rainbow Cacti have the peculiar trait of absorbing mana to produce flowers and bear fruit.

At any rate, Ill give this Tusha-chan the ability to detect Curses.

The goddess tried to kiss the rainbow cactus, but a thorn pricked her lip.

Ow.

The goddess grumbled cutely, then she blew a kiss to Tushaaravati.
If she could do that, then she should have done that from the start.

Melbys mysterious pet absorbd that kiss, and let out 2, 3 pulses of rainbow-coloured light.

I immediately use [Appraisal].

Tushaaravati (Mysterious Organism)

Rainbow Cactus? (tree form) / Magic Organism

Level 1

MP 291/291

Abilities
Anti-substance spray

Skills

[Detect Waves] 9 (MAX) (A Gift from a benevolent goddess, detects the unearthly wave motions emitted by the Evil Gods Curses. Effective range has a radius of 500 metres.)

[Growth Control]

([Aurora Magic] 1)

Ooh, it looks like quite a useful skill.

I mean, even the titles have increased.

The requirements for a title were many people calling someone by a certain name in awe, and if the one designating the name has great influence on their surroundings, the influence on bestowing a title also increases, right.

As for me, my influence in regards to bestowing titles upon others apparently became greater because of the effect of the God of Virtues Blessing (Kannumarne), so it might also be due to that.

Cant I possess it?

Humans are beings that fluctuate at the threshold between good and evil, so the observation results wont be stable.

On that note, Melby-san is a being made with a Gift as a base, and Tusha-chan isWell An existence that is hard to put into words, yet has no components that would interfere with [Detect Waves].
.For now.

The goddess said as she stared at the rainbow cactus.

What? Why?

To begin with, Melby-san is peculiar among fairies.

Eh? Are you talking about Me?

For fairies that have lived for a long time, their mentality changes and they become easily distracted, so as to decrease their mental burden.

Thats why, normal fairies are unable to temper their skills, or spend tens of years on developing needed tools like Melby-san.
If someone with a long lifespan were to continue concentrating on something, they would fall mentally ill.

Eh But I dont really

That is Melby-sans peculiar trait.

This is just my guess, but I wonder if that had a significant effect on Melby-sans mental formation.

Do you know anything about Melbys masterAlfecia-san?

She was one of the seven central figures among the Pioneer Elves.

There were plenty or resources because there was only a small number of people, and the apostles on the Evil Gods side were also powerful, so it could be said that that had been inevitable.

What about your apostles?

They fought with the Evil Gods apostles and died.

The one in charge of Alfecia-san was Attiera, so I dont really know the details though.

Its something well find out once the seal is released, so this much is enough.
Melby seems like she really wants to ask more though.

Gazaine said that the Evil God was originally a comrade of the gods, but is that true?

Hmm. Yes, and no.
About the origin of this world, and the relationship between the benevolent gods and the Evil Goddo you want to know?

Yes please!

A chance to hear about the creation myth of this world from a god directly doesnt come too often, okay.

Lets see, firstly, us benevolent gods werent originally gods of Marquekt.

Eh? Is that so?

Thats right.
You have also read history books so you may already know, but what do you know about Marquekts calandar?

The thing called Absolute History?
There was only the absolute history, and nothing about events prior to that era was recorded no matter where I searched.

That was what was written in the history books in the study at the Viscount Chrebl residence in Corbette Village.
Incidentally, the current year is AH 1294 No, the new year started while I was in the Nest, so its 1295.

Its not that they werent recorded, they just didnt exist in the first place.
In the first year of Absolute History, us benevolent gods came to this world, and while confronting the Evil God, we started liberating the people who were the Evil Gods slaves little by little; that was precisely what happened that year.

So youre saying that the Evil God was originally the god of this world?

The answer to that is, as I said earlier, both yes and no.

If someone who enslaves everybody and enjoys the discord of those souls can be called a god, then the answer is yes. If not, then no.

What happened to your former world?

Our former world was facing a crisis of destruction due to a stellar abnormality.
Thats why we decided to bring the survivors along and migrate to this world.

Stellar

I was surprised at the term that suddenly popped out, but when I think about it, it might not be a particularly strange thing.
Rather, another world without stars would be harder to imagine.

If its a stellar crisis, then wouldnt it be fine if you moved to another star system?

How could we do so?

How, you say By using a spaceship or something?

Even in your former world, a spaceship that was possible of performing interstellar travel hasnt been developed yet, right?
Rather than migrating to a star many light years away, its easier to migrate to another world.

What the hell.
Mankinds dream of advancing into space was shot down with this one line just now.

By any chance, could the fact that no aliens have appeared on Earth also be?

I dont know whether or not there are aliens in that world, but I suppose thats one of the most significant reasons.
To intelligent lifeforms that have mastered science and delved into the domain of magic and souls, what they should touch upon is not the intelligent lifeforms of a faraway star, but rather the intelligent lifeforms of another world whom they can have direct contact with.

No intelligent lifeforms from another world came to Earth either though Ah, no, thats incorrect.

The goddess right in front of me was a being of such an other world.

Although I called it migrating, it was just the people throughout the world reincarnating simultaneously.
What we brought to the other world were their souls alone, so the sophisticated civilisation achieved by mankind in their previous world ended up lost in one generation without a chance to be accessioned.

Even in my previous life, there were webnovels where a reincarnated person makes use of the knowledge from their previous life in another world to become a peerless character, but theres a limit to the amount of information that a human brain can hold.
Even if I was told to make a computer or automobile in this world from scratch, it would be impossible.

But isnt that the same for each world?
If fellow reincarnators were to exchange information together, then to a certain extent

To the extent where it becomes a sophisticated civilisation, specialisation becomes extreme, and they would have to try to make existing technology a self-explanatory premise.

For arguments sake, even if they did know, they wouldnt have any of the equipment to make it, so it would be hard to reproduce it.

Perhaps it is somehow possible to be able to reproduce up to a computer, but even so, what about after that?

Even simply inheriting knowledge is difficult.

The goddess continued.

The Marquekt that we arrived in had a much crueller environment than it is now.

Infertile soil and polluted rivers.

The atmosphere was thin, so strong cosmic rays would even rain down on the earth intermittently.

In order to improve this environment, we split our power as gods on a grand scale and flooded the world with various spirits.

In other words, the extermination of powerful demonic beasts, and expanding the range of humanoid existences.

However, we also succeeded in greatly shaving down the might of the Evil Gods side at the same time, and were able to release the original inhabitants of Marquekt from the collar of slavery.

Its a very, well, majestic tale.

Melby, did you know about this?

Uh uh Because I was only with Master when I was small.

I decided to swallow down the retort of youre still small though.

To put it simply, the gods came from a different world and settled on this planet.

They released the humans who were slaves of the Evil God, but were unable to completely bring down the Evil God. Even after a thousand years has passed after their settlement, the contest of influence between them and the Evil God continues to this very day.

In that case, just what kind of existence was considered a god?

I considered asking about that, but the nearby Melbys body was appearing transparent.
No, my body was as well.

It looks like its almost time.

The goddess says.

About the matter with , you were really a great help.

However, your body is still small so try not to overexert yourself.

Me and Melbys bodies were sucked up by the planet below.
I watched Melby panic and cry out Wah, wah as my consciousness receded.
