Chapter 68.3. Masatoshi Sees Various Conspiracies

-Masatoshi’s POV-

In the original story, Kanna Yamato would have come to the rescue and exterminated the scissors mantis and others, but the situation now is very different from the original story.

Somehow, they blocked the monsters’ attack, and people weren’t attacked by the scissors mantis. That’s why their actions stood out. Masatoshi thought they weren’t originally conspicuous. He doesn’t know their purpose, but they must have been dancing in Duke Kanna’s hands. Because there was no description of they caught the culprit.

“Mnh!”

[Flash]

Ouga unleashes an iai kiri. A thin thread-like trail tries to cut the men, but the opponent swings his staff and activates his magic.

[Buffer Wall]

A rubbery elastic wall appeared in front of the men and prevented the [Flash], and the trails disappeared shortly after.

“Hou. So you mean you have the skill to cause a terrorist attack.”

Ouga’s eyes narrowed, and his face turned grim. Even though that person’s not wearing his magic armor, he still can stop Ouga’s martial arts, the top of the warriors. He must be quite skilled.

Perhaps he was concealing it with illusionary magic or magical tools, but the opponent was wearing half-plate type magical armor and trying to kill them.

“Father, I’m heading to that battlefield. I received a call that we can’t see Mii-sama. I thought it might have something to do with that side.”

“Yes, these men must be captured and made to confess what they were up to. Go ahead, Yamiyo. Half of you, go with Yamiyo to the rescue!”

The monster users summons new scissors mantis. Seeing that the others will also use magic, Ouga gives his order.

“Then we will head to the battlefield!”

With a flutter of her skirt, Yamiyo ran as if she were flying. And so, Ouga and the others begin a fierce battle with the terrorists.

“Shin-san, are you okay? Didn’t you use some magic just now?”

“No, I don’t know what it is..”

Before he knew it, Shin was away from Masatoshi, and Seina was talking to Shin in a worried tone.

“What the heck, it’s still going to be the same as the original?”

Masatoshi clicked his tongue. It’s just like the original. Sena, who was saved by Shin just before she lost her life, falls faintly in love with him. And when they meet again, they fall in love. Shin goes through several difficult events to help the kind Sena in her predicament.

Boringly, he ponders why things have changed so much. Ouga’s reason for coming here has to do with the fact that Yamiyo was alive. As a result, Ouga’s not semi-retired, and the warriors haven’t lost their power, so Teijo Ouga must have come to the rescue, not Kanna Yamato.

The scissors mantis attack is also likely to be prevented. He doesn’t think so, but if this is the case, won’t the hidden treasures of the Hidden Temple not belong to Duke Kanna, but to the emperor?

If that were to happen, it would shake the very foundation of the original story. That is, it was the fault of the emperor, Teijo Yamito. Perhaps it was all the fault of his reincarnation. As a god who knows the original work, I find it disgusting. But Mion and the others survived. Let’s call it good this time. Also, from now on, he’ll try to prevent any events that result in death. He doesn’t want to live with guilt.

The number of events in which people die is too large to count, and the dates and places of many of them aren’t clear. So it may be tough, but he’ll try to protect his surroundings.

He doesn’t intend to intervene in the story itself. After all, only Shin, who possesses [Void] can defeat the monsters, so changing the storyline too much would be a bad thing. If Shin doesn’t grow up and defeat the Demon God, the world will get destroyed.

Besides, if he thinks about it, there is no way that the hidden treasure would be given to the emperor. The temple’s seal, which was supposed to be opened only by the royal family, was opened by a notorious magician who could transform themselves into anyone. There was no way they would be found and defeated by the samurai guarding the temple.

There is nothing Masatoshi can do now that his mana has run out. Masatoshi was watching Ouga and his men’s battle from a distance.

This was exactly the position of a man who deserved to be in the mob.

In the rear, the small person was about to start a fierce battle against the boss mantis and his horde of scissors.
