No Fatigue: 24-jikan Tatakaeru Otoko no Tenseitan

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.

The thing is, Gifts have an opposing nature towards Curses, so Gifts simply cant reach those whove stockpiled too many Curses.

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

That said, Gifts also have the function of purifying the mind and body of the receiver, so if one takes in many Gifts, itll be hard to remain evil indefinitely.

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.

If such a thing happens in the future, have them properly shelter themselves in a safe location.

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.

As a method of making them conspire with evil while at the same time being recipients of Gifts, I can only say it was very well done.

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.

Firstly, the executives of probably didnt think that far.

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

For the Evil God, its true that his Curses get collected and become Gifts, but the ones who acquire those Gifts are those who have been brainwashed to become his own followers, so perhaps it doesnt change substantially.

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

Because there is a need to once again corrupt with the recovered Curses even with the internecine struggle you spoke about.

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.

Thats right, since its a rare chance, let me give Melby-san an Addition.

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.

Certainly, because I handle all of the skills as a whole, magic skills are also under my jurisdiction.

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

Melby-san is a being created by Pioneer Elves who are apostles of Attiera, so to that child, she is like a grandchild.

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.

Its the cactus with flower blossoms.

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.

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.

Nevertheless, they usually wouldnt turn out like this.

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].

Ooh, it looks like quite a useful skill.

I mean, even the titles have increased.

I guess the goddess also thought of it as a mysterious organism.

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 I expected, it looks like the goddesss one vote was heavy.

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.

Even in your previous world, when you place an astronomical telescope on the surface, light from the surface is reflected by the atmosphere and the precision of observation worsens, right?

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.

Theyre mischievous and capricious.

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.

When Melby-san was newly created and had yet to amass an ego, she encountered the shocking incident of her master, Alfecia-san, being sealed, correct?

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.

Back then, the gods teamed up to give those seven elves divine blessings.

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.

For Alfecia-san to be the only one remaining alive would be, if I had to say, largely due to her role as the logistical support.

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.

It depends on your definition of a god.

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 example Thats right, even an extraordinarily outstanding programmer wont really know of things at a level where they can reproduce the manufacturing methods of hardware by themselves, right?

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.

It might be possible to somehow make vacuum tubes and electrical transistors, but just how much time and effort do you think would be needed to reach the point of being able to make highly integrated electronic circuits?

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

If civilisation advances further, the likelihood of a reincarnator being able to reproduce the cutting-edge technology of their previous world before they exhaust their lifespan is exponentially minute.

Even simply inheriting knowledge is difficult.

The goddess continued.

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

Red-hot deserts and frozen tundra.

Infertile soil and polluted rivers.

An overflow of radioactive material that acted as an energy source for unique demonic beasts.

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

I wonder how people managed to survive.

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

At the same time, we gave birth to the half-man, half-god Pioneer Elves and had them do a major cleaning of Marquekt.

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

Naturally, our plan infuriated Evil God Monguenues, and the Pioneer Elves and settlers lost their lives in successive conflicts.

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.

During that time, they used spirits to perform terraforming.

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.

Your accomplishments always go beyond my expectations.

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.
