Volume 9 Chapter 53 Day Three (Livia-sensei)
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
After witnessing the proud suicides of both Sheryl and Stella, the First Emperor listened to the messenger’s report brought by Grano, then rose with a heavy sigh.
”Almaria, I leave the rest to you.”
”As you command. And Your Majesty…?”
”As for me, there is still someone I must meet. Chinatsu-chan has not arrived yet, so first will be Ginga-kun. Yes… it was Chinatsu-chan, the monster who defeated Bernhardt-san and Keirald. Ah, Almaria, you don’t know about Chinatsu-chan. …In this life I was meant only to kill Livia… Yet no matter how many lives one lives, life is always hateful.”
With a sorrowful expression, the First Emperor stepped out of the tent.
Wondering how to deal with Asakura Chinatsu and Kito Ginga… the heart that had been poisoned by Livia was cleansed by Sheryl’s resolve, and the true spirit of Nasu Takumi had risen to the surface.

”Rira… Rira…! Please, answer me…!”
The desperate cry rang through a chamber in the royal castle of the Seron Duchy.
Yet Yoshizaki Rira, who should have answered, remained silent.
”Does this mean… she fell in battle?”
”No, Ranka. Rira is alive. I am a god, after all, so I can at least tell if that child still lives…”
As she spoke, Rusty’s face sank into grief.
Faith in the gods was crumbling one after another.
And she had some idea of who was eroding it.
”Eris, Meruru. Please, be safe. This war… even I do not understand what Livia is trying to do.”
”Livia… she disliked being called a god, didn’t she? She gave you, Rusty, the duties and authority of a god, then withdrew herself…”
”The worst woman. Her hobby is breaking this world apart. She delights in seeing humans suffer and die from war and famine. Since I became a god, both Livia’s existence and the First Emperor’s awareness were obstructed… Takumi-kun, the First Emperor… yes. There cannot be two people in this world with such overwhelming Sexual Champion Skill.”
”That the First Emperor is Takumi-sama… I cannot believe it.”
Even with her sharp mind, Ranka found it all difficult to comprehend. Rusty had only regained the sealed memories that very morning.
The former god Livia had accepted Takumi Nasu’s Enslavement Magic without intending to obey.
But she had not calculated that her own Perception Obstruction would clash with the Perception Obstruction Skill attached to Takumi Nasu’s Discount Skill.
For that reason, Rusty was now remembering everything. Nearly a thousand years of memory, merging with once-obstructed awareness, required considerable time. She used Skills to verbalize, while Ranka recorded them.
In between, they tried to reach Yoshizaki Rira and Kadokura Hikari, who would surely be targeted… but it could only be judged that they had already fallen to Livia’s fangs.
”Should we announce Livia’s danger in plain words to the entire world, in Rusty’s name?”
”And reveal that I am a god as well. But… will that not throw the world into chaos?”
”The possibility is high. Yet the situation cannot be ignored.”
Since hands were short, Shimazaki Kurumi and Endo Saki, stationed as clerks in the Seron Duchy, were summoned.
While Ranka considered the draft to release to the world, the two of them worked desperately to record Rusty’s dictated memories. Because of the many Perception Obstructions tied to Takumi Nasu, the content naturally centered on their class.
”So… we’re just copies?”
”That we were summoned again and again into this world, only to be used as playthings…”
Livia’s greatest amusement was this: to “drop” Takumi Nasu and his classmates somewhere in the world. It consumed immense Magic Power, so it was done roughly once every hundred years.
”Terrible… everyone met such awful ends… and us too, ugh…”
Rusty had contacted Takumi Nash’s class many times before.
But the fate of the boys and girls suddenly dropped into this world was almost always tragic.
Looking at the record of her own death—working as a courtesan in a mining town, assaulted and strangled—Kurumi sobbed.
”There was a time they were dropped into this Seron Duchy too… Chinatsu-chan became the prince’s concubine and even bore children. For once, a happy ending…”
”So Nyx-san looks exactly like Chinatsu-chan because she’s her descendant…”
Yet even in that era, most of the classmates met unnatural deaths.
Only by great fortune were there cases like Kanare training them, or Grano taking them in like with the First Emperor’s group.
Most others… died in labyrinths, starved to death, ate poisonous plants, or killed themselves.
The majority of the girls ended as courtesans, used up, and died.
Livia sometimes observed these ends up close, recording them as entertainment.
”Hey, by the way. The name Livia… is that just coincidence?”
”Eh… but wasn’t she this world’s god?”
The two exchanged uneasy glances. At this point, coincidence seemed unlikely.
”Kurumi, Saki. Do you recognize it?”
”Ah, yes… the world history teacher who rode the bus with us… she was our homeroom teacher, a full-time faculty member. She had the same name.”
But even with that, there was not enough to draw conclusions.
Everyone returned silently to their work, finishing it.
”Then, let’s take a short break, clean this draft… and then send it out to the world.”
Rusty let out a deep breath. At that moment—
Suddenly the Divine Oracle Skill connected, and Rira’s pained voice filled the room.
”Help me, Rusty… at this rate, I… I’ll kill everyone…! Yawashi-kun, Honoka-chan, Mido-kun… I can’t even die when I try! Please, while the control is weakened… command me to take my own life! I don’t want to kill my friends anymore, Rusty…!”
The anguished scream made all four stir at once.
Rusty leapt to her feet to answer—but a cruel, mocking voice brushed her ear.
”My, trying to interfere, are you, Rusty? As I thought, it’s that Enslavement Magic… I had a bad feeling, so I dropped by here before Date Haruka. Good choice. I’m letting them enjoy a fun, fun slaughter of their friends—don’t get in the way.”
”You… it really is, Livia-sensei…!”
”Oh my, even though I changed my appearance so much… you still noticed, Endo-san. You were such a model student—it pains me to kill you, but since you’ve learned the secret, it can’t be helped.”
”Livia, what are you—!”
”Why, my ‘fun,’ Rusty. After I kill you, I’ll just temporarily resume as god. Later I’ll let your grandchild take the post, so be grateful as you die.”
And soon after, the room became a scene of horror… four lives were lost.

On the third day, past noon.
Bound tightly in ropes and transported at full speed, Asakura Chinatsu was brought before the First Emperor.
”Areee, just as Grandpa Grano said. Takumi-kun really is Takumi-kun, huh?”
”Yes, I am Nasu Takumi. I went to the same high school as you, and was teleported to this world. The only difference is, I was dropped more than a thousand years ago… while you, Chinatsu-chan, came more recently.”
The paths of the past Nasu Takumi and the present classmates had been apart.
Now at last, they began to cross.
