Chapter 271.2. What Does The Night Of Magic Mean?
"Here's what they did. First, to enter this world, they granted various blessings to humans to create believers and had them perform the descent ritual. They must have been able to send that level of power. But this failed, and instead, they summoned Nobunaga's soul."
"I see, I see. And then?"
Pointing his index finger, Grandpa Odin sharpens his one-eyed gaze.
"But at that point, a small rift in the world must have appeared. They made a quick decision there, probably because their own world had reached its limit. They likely abandoned most of their power and jumped into this world through that small rift. They probably brought our Sacred Artifacts with them."
"I understand, Odin. So, that person stole our Sacred Artifacts and descended into this world!"
Grandpa Odin stands up with a thud and gives a determined look to Frigg-oneesan, who glares at him.
"You don't have any Sacred Artifacts, do you? The Golden Armor gets destroyed on the Ragnarok."
"But there's the Golden Bracelet Draupnir!"
"That's mine."
"Isn't what husband's also wife's? A dream artifact that creates 8 equally weighted golden donuts every 9 days. I was planning to eat one per day and always waited for 8 days!"
Was there a Sacred Artifact that created donuts? And isn't the math a bit off?
"If you eat them one by one, you'll only have to wait one day, right?"
"I can't help it. I'd definitely eat them all on the first day."
Frigg-oneesan responds with a serious expression. There's no joking with this goddess.
"Yeah, if it's Frigg, she would do that, right?"
"Well, this isn't getting us anywhere."
Frigg-oneesan starts doing a comedy routine, and Freya interjects with a perplexed voice. The conversation isn't progressing at all.
"I'll leave some snacks here."
"We'll get back to this discussion later."
With a tray of gem-like snacks set out, Frigg-oneesan finally quiets down.
"Let's get back to the story. With the small rift that allowed human souls to pass, it was practically impossible for powerful gods to pass through. After coming to this world by discarding their god power, they planned to regain it. At the same time, they realized there was no sentient guardian in this world and devised a plan to rule it."
"So, they used Mimir's Head to spin new threads and tear the world apart. They would use the souls of transdimensional reincarnators to open massive rifts in the tattered world."
"From this world's perspective, the souls of reincarnators are foreign entities. Just by walking around, they would tear the Golden Thread apart. In a world that had fallen to pieces, it would be easy. By using those souls, they could easily open dimensional rifts and perform god descents."
"I see. So, they turned the repeating world into a myth or a novel and spread it to other worlds, even though they didn't know if it would succeed."
Lying down on the sofa with a plop, she yawns. It's like sending a signal to aliens, "Please come to Earth!" — an equally desperate plan.
"I agree. Honestly, it's a plan that can't be called anything but unlikely to succeed. But they had no other choice, and miraculously, this plan did succeed."
"S-so, people who received it in the other worlds had a strong attachment for the Night of Magic as a novel or myth..."
"...That person is likely to be Aguni Masatoshi, I think?"
"Highly probable. It wouldn't be easy for the souls of transdimensional reincarnators to come to this world so easily."
So, that guy was the one on the escalator. Goodbye, Masatoshi-kun. I might ask you about your height later.
Huh? There's something strange here.
"Hey, what about me? I was involved, but I wasn't that big a fan of the Night of Magic. And besides, I'm in game specification."
"...You got dragged into it and came to this world."
"For real... So, Mi-chan was already a mob from the start..."
Darn, was it predetermined that I'd be a mob even before I was born here? That's a bit shocking.
"So, what about the game specification? And do you think the enemy also knows about the game mode?"
"...As for why you're in game specification, that's still a conjecture. And it's better to assume that the enemy knows about the game mode too. If they have my Sacred Artifact, it wouldn't be surprising if they knew. But more importantly, we need to think about what comes next. According to my estimate. The world will start repeating after Ashtaroth is defeated."
"It's common to assume that the world is repeating from the end of the Night of Magic."
"It's like a history that has been created too perfectly. That person probably changed it into history with storytelling elements so that it would more easily become a myth. There might be other reasons, but that's unclear."
It seems like Grandpa Odin isn't dodging the question for now. Well, whatever. We need to think about what to do next.
"To defeat Ashtaroth in a state where Shin isn't here, we'll need the Complete Revival Route. So, should we think about how to obtain the last Sacred Artifact, Laevatein?"
"That's right. If we choose any other method. Shin will get involved in the battle. The Golden Thread will try to correct the fate to make it happen."
Now, who currently possesses Laevatein? Game-specific Mii-chan will defeat the enemy who created a world like a novel!
