Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure - Chapter 1986: Telling the truth
Chapter 1986: Telling the truth
After dealing with the representatives of the smaller countries, there was a different meeting that was called.
Though it felt a bit wrong to leave them out, this was because there were things that couldn’t be said to the smaller countries.
It wasn’t that I didn’t trust them, it was just that there were things that they shouldn’t know.
“Holy son, do you have something you wish to tell us?” The representative from the Holy Empire was the one that spoke.
It was the pope from the Solista Religion that chose to become the representative at this moment.
When they spoke, the pressure that they were trying to put on me was very clear.
I just calmly looked back at him since I knew why he was acting this way.
Since they were worshippers of gods, it was quite easy for them to see things like relics.
From the reports and what I showed them, it seemed that they had already guessed something.
After a moment of silence, I calmly admitted, “That’s right, I had something to do with the disappearance of Death Valley. It isn’t something that the forces of Destruction caused.”
The ones that were in this meeting didn’t look surprised when they heard this.
They had already guessed that it was like this when they saw Queenie.
So now they were just waiting for me to explain.
“This Death Valley is actually a special relic that was created by a god for its messenger. As such, I was able to take it away with me when I formed the contract with this god’s messenger.”
There were strange looks that appeared on everyone’s faces when they heard this.
It seemed like they found it hard to accept something, but at the same time…it seemed that they were a bit disappointed.
The fact that was hard for them to accept was the fact that Queenie was indeed a god’s messenger.
She really didn’t seem like a god’s messenger, so it was hard to accept even if I confirmed this.
As for why they were disappointed…
“So this really doesn’t have anything to do with the forces of Destruction.”
“And here I thought that it would be some kind of clue.”
They had been hoping that this matter was somehow related to the forces of Destruction since they had been too quiet during this time.
Peace was a good thing, but it wasn’t good when the forces of Destruction were quiet like this. After all, we were currently in a bind trying to locate them and take them down.
If they were to hide themselves like this, it was simply causing trouble for us.
There was no telling where they would strike next, but we knew that they would eventually do something. After all, it wasn’t as if the one that was behind the forces of Destruction had been taken down.
As long as the God of Destruction was still out there, we would be living under the threat of this.
Having to be worried about this all the time definitely was not a comfortable feeling. Everyone was hoping that we would be able to find some kind of news about the forces of Destruction so we wouldn’t have to be this passive.
But in the end, they quickly recovered since there was something else that they had to bring up.
“Holy son, it seems like you’ve been making contact with quite a few of the god’s messengers.” The pope of the Solista Religion slowly said this as if they were testing me.
When they said this, the other representatives just looked at me as if they were waiting for an answer from me.
However, I looked at the Merman King who was sitting behind one of these screens.
He was the only one that could have provided them this information.
Though it wasn’t as if this could have been hidden with the change in the Merman Empire.
The Tide Empire had connections with the Merman Empire and was able to get this information right away. Then from the Tide Empire, it was only natural that it would spread to the other empires.
From the other empires, it would spread to even the other races.
So there really wasn’t a way to hide what I was doing.
“That’s right. We currently need all the help that we can get.” That was how I answered them in a calm voice.
The representatives didn’t say anything as it seemed like they were still processing what I had said.
Eventually, the pope of the Solista Religion said, “Have you received some kind of prophecy related to this matter?”
The way that he asked this was as if there was some kind of personal investment that he had in this.
He was the pope of one of the main religions, so it was only natural that he would act this way.
However, I just calmly said, “No, there was no prophecy at all.”
The pope of the Solista Religion looked a bit disappointed when he heard this, but he still looked at me as if he was pressing me for an answer.
That was when I said, “For now, I can’t tell you any more than this. I hope that you will understand the position that I’m in.”
The representatives that were at this meeting didn’t seem like they were happy with this answer, but at the same time, it wasn’t as if there was anything that they could do about this.
It wasn’t as if I was going to tell them anything else just because they were pressuring me. This was a fact that they were well aware of and had accepted in their hearts.
So in the end, the only thing that the pope of the Solista Religion could say was, “I hope that you will at least keep us posted on a few things that you are doing so that we can prepare ourselves.”
This time, I gave a nod in response.
After all, what I had done this time was indeed a bit too sudden.
