"What is it?"@@novelbin@@

—...You're not surprised?

"I kind of expected this."

—That's a relief.

The Demon God's voice became slightly pouty. "Expected this" meant that Mira had somewhat predicted that something might go wrong and that she might have to seek help. This, in turn, implied that she did not fully trust her own abilities.

"I'm joking. It's just that when everyone who should be elsewhere suddenly gathers in one place, it's hard to believe nothing would happen. Just a moment ago, the flow of time was also feeling rather unusual."

—So, the effects have already spread beyond... The situation is worsening much faster than I anticipated.

"If things are getting worse, we have to fix them. So, what's really going on?"

Though unaware of the full context, the serious tone and content of the Goddess’s words made everyone go silent and look in her direction, tense with anxiety.

Leona, in particular, was so pale she looked almost blue, perhaps thinking that the current situation was a result of her having just maximized the power output of the Sacred Sword.

But it didn't seem to be the case. If using the Sacred Sword was going to cause this much trouble, something should have happened long before now.

—The damage is too severe. It's far beyond what we can repair on our own. All we could do was buy some time.

—It's not that recovery is impossible... But as we mentioned before, a sacrifice will be necessary.
