TL Note: Ariels Point of View

“I see”

That was all that I could say, once I heard Felmina-chan’s report as she rushed in breathless. As Shiro-chan trained her as a secret Agent, so her being out of Breath is unusual. To Reward that, I must take immediate action.
But I am thinking that lightening the damped mood is in order. I thought I was ready for this a long time ago, but once this Scenario happened, I still could not keep my composure. Even though I lived a long life, I realize that I am still a small girl. But that is what I have to life with.

Me, Gyuri and Dustin the Pontiff take each a different way. I have interacted with Gyuri and Dustin since long ago. While it could not be called a perfect relationship, unlike Potimas, I was never out of Touch. Well, I think we had a reasonable relationship. We sometimes clashed because our ideological differences tough, but since we knew exactly what we were aiming for, we never broke up definitively.
Well until now I guess?

“Ael”

To hide my complicated state of mind, I try to talk in a voice as flat as possible via Telepathy, as I contact Ael at my Partner-in-crime Dustin’s place.

“Kill the Pontiff”

I give this order. There is no going back now I guess? Well, From the moment Gyuri put his hands on Shiro-chan there was already no going back. He pulled the Trigger. My order just speeds it up a bit. I thought I still had some time before it happened. Shiro and I wanted to drag this state out as long as we could. But I guess D did not find that acceptable. Once these events get accelerated, we cannot reverse them. It will lead in a muddy stream to the final Battle of this world.
In that case, Dustin is the hindrance Number one, that has to leave.
Normally killing him wouldn’t have that much sense, as that guys can inherit his Memory once he dies and reincarnates, thanks to the Ruler Skill “Temperance”. There are several years between Death and reincarnation, from there it takes several years to grow the body to adulthood, and until Dustin is back, the “Divine Voice Church” church fills in the gaps and keeps the world in shape. Dustin’s Absence is by no means a Small deficit, but its not big enough to bury it. That is evident by the fact that Potimas was not able to crush the “Divine Voice Church” until now.
Dustin’s existence is of no Big importance for the State of affairs.

So why is it different this time? In the current situation, Dustin has to go. Plucking off the Head of the “Divine Voice Church” will throw them into Disorder. Not just that, it also makes room for a new Authority of the Ruler Skill, one of the Key keys to collapse the system. It does not give us the Advantage of getting it, but it at least creates a disadvantageous situation for them. Thus, the current timing is the best one to take care of Dustin.
But I bet they also know that.

“If you notice you cannot do it, withdraw immediately”

I give additional instructions to Ael. It is difficult to imagine Dustin without any additional preparation. Ael is second only to the Queen Taratect in my Family. I do not think she will fall behind, but if Gyuri changed sides to their camp, I am not optimistic. If Gyuri is with them, then I am sure the Dragons that follow him are also there. The ancient dragons cannot be dealt with ordinary means. If it is the chief of an Attribute, then they are clearly of a higher rank than Ael. If they Guard Dustin, then it is fine if the assassination is going to fail. That is the least he could do for Dustin. The Absence of Shiro as a master of Space Magic, the Distance presents an absolute wall for us. Because we are at the Elf village right now, and Dustin resides at the headquarters of the “Divine voice Religion” in the holy Kingdom of Alleius, I can only give Ael directions. Unrelated to the success or failure of Ael’s Actions, we should also act ourselves.

“Shiro-chan, I have to leave you to your own devices”

I cannot do anything about her Situation anyways. According to Felmina-chan witnessing the circumstances, Shiro-chan and Gyuri are fighting somewhere where we cannot get in and out. I don’t know where they moved. In fact, it may not even be real space. Because they are fighting in their own Subspace between worlds, its not realistic to track them down. I can do nothing but believe in Shiro-chan. If that is the case, what else are WE able to do? “… Alright, then, let’s go!” “where?!?” Wrath, who watched quietly, approached me on behalf of the group “I have decided I am going to collect the remaining Ruler skill holder in the vicinity, starting by Ms. Okazaki” Possessing the Ruler Skills is a key requirement for our goal of collapsing the system. Conversely, the owner of a Ruler skill has a way to lock it up(?). So, this fight will be used to see which side can acquire more Ruler Skill holders.

There are 3 yet undecided People holding ruler authorities, that do not belong to either camp. Ms. Okazaki, whom Shiro calls “sensei”, The Hero Shun-kun, and Shun-kun sister, the Princess Suelecia, also seems to possess one. After they had a break from their discussion, Shiro-chan vanished like a flash, but before she said something like that. Because she said she is going to bring shun-kun to the Princess Suelecia, they may be also in the Holy Kingdom of Alleius, where she resides. From what Felmina-chan told me, it seems that Yamada-kun has not returned. So, it is likely, Dustin has caught 2 of the Ruler skill holders. God dang it Shiro chan, you screwed up. If these 2 are at Dustin’s place, it is safe to assume that they will be taken in by him. So Bringing in Ms.Okazaki, as the last person remaining, is my highest Priority. I have to use whatever I can to coax her into joining us. If I can’t, then I have to make sure that at the very worst she is not our enemy. Because she seems to be Shiro-chan previous benefactor, I should not choose a violent way to go about it, but I will do whatever it takes.

It’s a battle for the world, so I decide to abandon my feelings. Thus, Dustin, Gyuri, brace yourself.
Because I have made my resolve.
