(POV-Rafael)
My premonition really did become true. After my Father's son sacrificed himself, authority of 'the chosen saviour' known as [Warrior of Fate] was created. It was given to the person in front of us.
"Thank you for specially visiting here upon our request, King of the End-dono."(Zeus)
I can't insult this womanizer anymore. Jibril is clattering her teeth in fear. Even I is stiff in fright. Yet this god casually greeted the man, no, hero in question.
"No, it is fine to call me on my original name, Lord Zeus."
"... Very well, Hero Holy King Ramachandra. Or should I call you Vishnu instead?"(Zeus)
"Rama is fine as it is."(Rama)
The King of the End. The strongest war god of steel. The strongest hero. The wielder of Divine Sword of Salvation The man burdened by the fate of devil kings extermination. Someone entered the reception hall. The lady filled with charms but still in her childish appearance.
"Lord Zeus! I heard he is here!!"(Pandora)
"Pandora huh? You sure came here."(Zeus)
"Because it is him."(Pandora)
"Lord Ramachandra, tell me the truth, is the authority, 'the fate of exterminating all devil kings', still active?"(Amaterasu)
They all quiet down, waiting for his reply.
"Takeru-san contacted me through 'her'. If it is about that, I don't know."(Rama)
"H,huh?! What do you mean by that?!"(Amaterasu)
"I will be the one to explain it."(Pandora)
She told us that one of her children defeated Lord Rama and usurped the very authority.
"But that child wanders from world to world. I don't know where that child is now. The only thing we could do is to bet on Shin-chan's absurd encounter levels on absurdities."(Pandora)
"Ahh, dammit. Are you saying us gods could only pray on the uncertain? Ain't should be the ones get prayed on? Are us gods this cornered?"(Zeus)
They all sighed. I always looked down on them. But it seems my attitude before was mistaken. They are more capable than we gave credit for.
"Your Majesty, do you have destination?"(Takeru)
"None. I'm retired so I plan to rest. Either that of me becoming heretic will force me returning to work again."(Rama)
"I see. Thank you for responding at my selfish request, Your Majesty."(Takeru)
Rama smiled gently at Takeru-dono and stand up.
"... One more thing. About that young man. The one that personifies hope. I have advice to him"(Rama)
[...](All)
"I who carries salvation was not able save myself. So he who carries hope should be wary on the path he will take. For he might despair and unable to bring himself up to hope."(Rama)
I could only sigh.
"Milord, you don't need to remind my master's brother. He is wise enough to realize that."(Rafael)
"... I see. Then me worries are for naught, I guess."(Rama)
"He will appreciate your kindness though."(Rafael)
Before we left, Jibril requested a favor to me.
"You sure about that?"(Rafael)
"Un. I want to experience it myself. The reason of your growth."(Jibril)
Her face have resolute smile. I smile back at her and nodded.
