Gale said. "The King brought other gods to this world. Among them were skilled craftsmen who built castles and worked. There were many mysterious beasts living in this world, but the King suppressed them. Thanks to that, hasn't the number of dark beasts appearing in the human world and the realm of the gods decreased?" "Huh?" "In my opinion, I think there used to be many more beasts appearing on your side in the past. If that decreased thanks to the King, it's not a coincidence. Ashlan and the King intentionally fought, the King pretended to be defeated, and came to this world. If they had said it was to protect all worlds, troublesome gods wouldn't have come here. They had to appear to be enemies with Ashlan on the surface." "I can't imagine that guy... making such a self-sacrifice..." Olga was quite flustered. "The gods who came here are affected by the miasma of this world, so Ashlan couldn't let humans worship the gods from here. Isn't it a grand farce?" "If that's the true story..." If true, it would be a shock that would turn the world upside down. "Aren't the beasts appearing in the human world summoned by the priests from here?" "They don't have that kind of power. However, it seems that the places where they are become easier to connect. There are priests on your side too, and gods are allowed to exterminate the beasts, right? The King's power has various limitations too. Well, even if you ask him, he probably won't admit it. I'll pretend not to notice forever, but I didn't want you to hate the King. We've been talking for quite a long time. Well then, goodbye." Gale spread his wings and flew away, and Olga also disappeared from that world. "Olga, come with me!" (I brushed off that hand. If he had told me such a reason, would I have gone with him?) Gale's words and the Dark God just didn't match in Olga's mind. It was hard to believe that the Dark God had gone to that world to suppress the beasts of the dark world. ( Olga later asked Ashlan about that story, but Ashlan evaded the question. (A grand farce, huh. It seems it might really be true. It's surprising, but...) Olga was beginning to think that Gale's deduction might be correct. The fact that he hadn't considered this until now was probably due to Ashlan's power working somewhere. Most likely, such power was working on other gods as well. "I think I'll tell the children about that story. If it happens, Gerbera will be sad..." "Yes, she will." "Well then, sorry for waking you up." "No..." Olga left Ashlan's chamber and went outside the temple. The realm of the gods was in clear weather. "He was a guy whose thoughts I could never understand, but to choose to protect the world... it's quite unlike him." Olga gazed at the sky, squinting against the brightness, and then left.
