『Prophetic dream? You think I'm going to believe everything!?』
As expected, Cyclon screamed in rage.
「But that's the truth. At this rate, all of us will die.」
Hearing my claim,
「It's not like I doubted both Gil-san and Chigi-san but, we would naturally be reluctant to abandon this city just because of a
dream.」
Even the young lizardman who usually agrees with me showed strong resistance.
「Tes, even if we escape, our escape route is blocked by that steep cliff, which means that we're going to be cornered. Since
that's the case, we might be able to raise our survival rate by going all out with our defense.」
「Impossible. The defense system of this city isn't nearly enough to stop the march of the demon king's army.」
Though we managed to receive early warning thanks to the lookout duty, we failed to gather in the assembly hall to plan a
counter measure and ended up being massacred by them. Their invasion was equivalent to the end of this city. That's just
how powerful our opponent was this time.
『That's why I can't believe your dream. I've told you right!?』
Cyclon stood as he screamed in rage. One after another, all the members of the meeting rejected my plan. Well, their
reaction was natural, I mean, who would be crazy enough to believe in a pipe dream?
Org crossed his arms, closed his eyes and kept silent until he finally opened his eyes,
「When will they come?」
2/5
And asking a question that no one asked until now.
『Org! Are you going to believe such an absurd story!?』
Hearing Cyclon ask with such a furious face,
「Who knows, but hearing Chato and Chigi agree with him, he must be telling the truth.」
Org replied immediately.
『I've never heard about abilities such as prophetic dreams!?』
「I agree. Gil is human. He has an ability that is unknown to us. And most of all, we saw part of that absurd ability with our own
eyes. Some of the abilities that humans have might be related to prediction. Rather, I'm more puzzled by the fact that you
guys doesn't trust Gil.」
『But if it's a lie, we will be put in an extremely uncomfortable situation.』
「If that prophetic dream is true, all of us are going to die for sure. None of us are going to survive that calamity just as Gil has
told us. That's why, we have to make a choice.」
Once Org finished speaking, he looked around at the monsters inside the meeting room.
『Org, what choice are you talking about here?』
Crocodas, who also kept his silence until now, finally spoke for the first time.
「We trust Gil and leave this city, or not trust him and stay in this city.」
A silence enveloped the entire room,
「You're… Right. I believe in Gil-san. The one who gathered the scattered monsters and built this city until it reached its
current stage is Gil-san. If Gil-san said that we should evacuate, then there's no reason to doubt him.」
「Agree. Both are risky plans, but I choose to believe in Gil.」
One by one, the monsters who were present changed their stands.
Honestly, I had never expected that they would choose to believe my dream that easily. That's why despite feeling something
warm in my eyelids,
「I think everyone has already realized this, but this evacuation is just a stop-gap measure. I mean, we can't really escape
from them thanks to the tall cliff that block our retreat path.」
And continued with my explanation.
「Then. What is your plan for facing such a difficult situation?」
「From this point, I need your cooperation to find two people while evacuating.」
『Is Ruu-dono included in that two?』
Cyclon asked for confirmation.
「At least, Ruu-san is stronger than me. That's why we have to find him. But, he alone won't be enough.」
3/5
I nodded.
「Is it about the last person who appeared in your dream from before?」
「Yes. In that dream, he easily sends Aldebaran and co into oblivion as if trampling mere bugs. Our problem will be solved
easily as long as we got his cooperation.」
Against the one who backed Aldebaran, we need the cooperation of that strongest existence.
There were three problems that had to be solved.
The first problem was where to find him. The second problem came after finding him, namely how to persuade him. The third
problem was how to keep the safety of all Ket Nya's citizens until he arrived.
Naturally, the third problem would be solved as long as we could find Ruu-san. And then, how to get out of this hellish
situation.
『So what kind of person that strongest existence? Is he a monster? a human? a demon race?… Or a god?』
「If we're limiting just to his strength, the closest guess will be… A god. But personally, I don't think he is a god.」
If he really was a god, he wouldn't show such a sad look on his face as he saw me, a mere human dying. I felt that he was
extremely arrogant, and emotional at the same time. If god was a perfect and flawless existence, then rather than calling
him imperfect god, he would be closer to――
『Depending on outside help every once in a while isn't a bad thing. I agree with Gil's plan!』
The monster with the head of a monkey struck his thighs and stood up.
「I already agree from the very beginning!」
Chato also stood up, and then, one after another, everyone was on their feet.
「Then let's divide our manpower into two teams, the team that seeks for cooperation, and the team that leads the citizens
to evacuate. I want everyone to move asap!」
「「「『『『OU!』』』」」」
We raised a yell after we decided our strategy.
