For now the sequential order is Death God, Atofe and Sword God.....
I want to call out to even more various people.
For example, Seven Major World Power's superior in rank......
At the top of the Seven Major World Powers is 『Technique God』, 『Dragon God』, 『Fighting God』 and 『Demon God』 in sequential order.
Other than the Dragon God the others are missing or sealed, was it like that?
Huh?
"Which reminds me, won't Technique God become our ally? Certainly, there is the matter regarding him split into two and Demon God so won't he cooperate if he hears about our fight with Hitogami?"
"Futile."
"Because of his memories being vague? Then, let's just work out how to restore Demon God Laplace's true spirit back by combining him......ah, but if we do that Perugius-sama will get angry. But, that piece is appetizing......"
"Stop it."
With those powerful words I held my tongue.
"I don't have any intention of becoming those guy's comrade."
Those guys.
I somehow understood with those words.
Orsted sees Laplace and Perugius as the same rank as him.
Probably not just those two, the rest as well, similarly those people who are known as the Five Dragon Generals.
".........But, then, ummmm, Perugius-sama won't stay silent if it's something relevant to Laplace, right?"
"If they become enemies then I'll deal with them."
".......I understand."
I can more or less guess why he's so obstinate.
Orsted's curse won't be effective against Perugius.
Despite the curse' effectiveness, Orsted will not become friends with Perugius.
An obstinate refusal.
The derived answers are not too many.
However, I hesitated to ask the reason.
For some reason I can't ask.
It's impossible to ask now.
『The 『Treasures of the Dragon Tribe』 that lead to Hitogami's place, are those the life force of the Five Dragon Generals?』
If I end up asking that, it feels like Perugius or Orsted will become enemies.
As of now, the unknown matter must be put in advance.
"Well then.........let's talk about it some other time."
"Yeah."
I decided to change the subject.
It's not a good thing if I persist the matter unreasonably even though it's in vain.
Since I can say with confidence that I am his subordinate, I must abide by his decisions as well.
"I received quite some influence during this one case but I didn't have enough stuff like a little bit of Orsted-sama's 『influence』 so I have a proposition."
".....What is it?"
"Although I got used to calling myself 『Dragon God's Right Hand』 but, even now there are people who don't feel frightened or how should I put this, there are still many who don't yet understand just how frightening 『Dragon God』 is, that is why.......... Would it be fine to just pick up an easier title like 『Dragon King』? A very appropriate title like Mud Dragon King would be fine........"
Well, it's just a name.
Orsted's popularity is low but Perugius is famous.
It's the same rank as that Perugius and such a really amazing thing will be easy to circulate if you think about it.
"No good."
Huh?
"There are many who call themselves the Dragon King."
He is glaring at me.
A terrifying glare.
I can comprehend the anger beyond that helmet.
What is this? Danger, danger, my feet are shivering.
"They live as they please with that tiny pride of theirs and die because of a foolish enemy."
"........"
"But you are different. Therefore don't call yourself that. Rudeus Greyrat."
"Ah....um....yes"
It was unexpected.
That he would so strongly reject it.
I thought he would say 'You can freely name yourself'.
Not good, my trembling isn't stopping.
"Tch....."
"Eris, stop it!"
While I stopped Eris who was trying to come forward before, she clicked her tongue.
It's alright. It's not a fight. It's not a discord.
I just made the President a little bit angry by saying the exact opposite about his management policies. So please stop rising your back while gripping your hand.
"That was an obtrusive proposition. I'm very sorry."
"I don't mind."
After I bowed the anger vanished.
Apart from his premise of moving through his loops even Orsted has things that he can't concede to.
I seem to have stepped there thoughtlessly.
I don't really care, something like a nickname, it doesn't matter, anything is fine.
Something like authority, I can just put that in any other part as many times as I like.
For example.....something like borrowing Ariel's, Asura Kingdom's authority.
Alright, let's go in that direction.
"Well then, apart from receiving Ariel's authority someway or other..... who should we find to make a comrade after Sword God?"
".......Perhaps Biheilir country. Fierce God lives there."[18]
Fierce God.
Someone like that exists?
"Is it fine to make him a comrade?"
"No, I investigated that guy thoroughly, he's a person who has a high possibility of becoming an apostle. If Gisu is recruiting him as a soldier then it should be fine to just crush him."
Crush them to forestall it.
I see. That method also exists.
Increase this side's pawns and decrease that side's pawns.
In order to not fight with all 5 people in one go, a method to crush each and every person.
"Are there any other who can become possible enemies?"
"Let's see...... with the exception of Fierce God, there aren't many important people....... 『Hades』 Vita who lives in the Heaven Continent's labyrinth 『Hell』. Demon Continent's 『Unpleasant Demon King』 Kebura Kabura, it would be fine to crush both of them. Also, it's fine to choose the former as the last if you're proceeding in this direction since it's just a small quantity of bones."
"I see."
Those are some terrific names.
Would it be fine to just not fight them.....
They just have a 『high』 probability of becoming Hitogami's apostle.
Presently, we don't know anything as of yet.
They haven't yet become apostles.
Then, wouldn't it be fine to make them a comrade before that.
It's not like we won't be able to escape an urgent problem without making some sacrifice. [19]
It's fine to just fight at that time if it's unnatural.
I mean if I go around killing companions who don't even know how they are related; I don't want that.
"Well then, I'll be taking the method of making them into comrades or neutralizing them."
"That is right."
For the present, it's been settled what to do about who.
Next time will be details.
"Then, on to the next topic. It's about the visit to the Kingdom of the Dragon King----"
After that, we concentrated on the preparation to go to KDK and gave that situation a closure.
Still, I hadn't thought that he would get so angry when I mentioned the Dragon Race.
I'll be more careful next time.
