Disciple of Immortal

Act 3: Chapter 42.2 - Failure of The Observer(Side: Nyarlhotep)

「Only that… eh. Now I’ll tell you my evaluation, that plan of yours is a mess. The fact that a demon king gained a powerful item is already strange enough. Alice herself had said that she could feel the interference of god had caused this incident. Even the native of that world, who are supposed to be clueless, can see through your plan. The other gods aren’t stupid enough to ignore such hints. Since a sharp person like Alice can see through your interference, there’s no point in hiding your involvement anymore.」

「So that means you’re going to erase me now! Or not, you don’t even dare to do that! You don’t even know something like that! Always telling me to do this or that with that condescending attitude of yours! If you said it’s impossible, then make a plan yourself, that’s your job!」

Nyarlathotep finally lost his cool and berated his own master.

「If you think that you’re capable to make a good plan, then do it yourself, or create a better kin after you erase me, fool!」

His voice grew louder and louder as he voiced his pent-up frustration at once.

It just goes out of Nyarlhotep’s mouth.

「The truth is, I did plan to erase you since your direct interference is really crossing our bottom line. My other kin might be able to come up with a better plan to eliminate Kanata Kanbara, but that is that this is this.」

「E, eh…」

The color drained from Nyarlhotep’s face upon hearing that his master truly considered the option of erasing him.

Despite all his swearing until now, he never really thought that his master would really erase him.

「Your direct interference has tarnished our reputation. But, considering the result, it’s better to leave this matter to you.

Nyarlhotep heaved a sigh of relief as he crumbled down on his knees.

「R-Right, I mean, erasing me is a bit to—」

「I’ll increase your authority in Lochlore. The matter of me never reminding you to make a plan to eliminate Kanata Kanbara without breaking our law is my fault indeed. You can also consider that as part of my mismanagement.」

Nyarphotep’s expression turns 180.

「A-Are you okay, Master!?」

「Yeah, though too much interference from your side in this 《Red Authority Cane》 ‘s case put a huge dent in our reputation, I’ll allow you to do at least that much after this, aside from direct interference of course. But, I’ll allow you to use the 《Invisible Hand of God》 to eliminate Kanata.」

Nyarlhotep’s face revealed a wicked smile the moment his master said “《Invisible Hand of God》”.

「I understand! In this way, I can think of a better way to eliminate Kanata Kanbara for sure! I can finally kill that annoying pest, master.」

「But, Kanata Kanbara isn’t your only opponent. The other such as the lich who becomes the source of the evil has to be eliminated, or driven back into the deep floor of the dungeon.」

「Yes, I understand. But, I’ve already come up with a countermeasure against her. That Lunaire will surely become timid once Kanata Kanbara is dead, by then forcing her back into the bottom floor of the dungeon is a piece of cake. Her level might be high but her mental strength is so weak. Even tofu is still harder than her mental strength. Even if I caught the attention of the other gods or the otherworld, I should be able to take care of her. Rest assured, I’m an expert in this matter.」

Nyarlhotep stood up, spreading his arms as he spoke with an elated face.

「Finally back on your feet eh, my kin. I’ve got a lot of expectation on you.」

Nyarlhotep suddenly touched his chin and frowned his eyebrows.

「But, why are you suddenly granting me more authority after scolding me like that? I’m grateful for that but still, you must face severe opposition from the other gods right」

「Yeah, I already took that into consideration. The truth is, I told the other gods that you will become the enemy of Kanata Kanbara.」

「HAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!?」

Nyarlhotep’s jaw almost dropped on the floor due to the shock he felt upon hearing his master’s outrageous remark.

「E-Excuse me but… What do you mean, Master!? Enemy of Kanata Kanbara… Why should I become the enemy of a mere human like him!? That’s blasphemy! In the first place, doesn’t that mean I’m officially becoming your scapegoat to bear the brunt due to failing Kanata Kanbara’s case!? Isn’t that wrong!?」

Due to Kanata’s case, Lochlore managed to pull in many new subscribers amongst the gods.

That’s why the one who should take the brunt was the CEO, Nyarlhotep’s master.

And yet, that said master had claimed that the one responsible for all the mess was Nyarlhotep.

And his master did it without even batting their eyes.

「So that’s your reason, eh!? You dump everything on me huh? How can Y-Y-You do something like this! This stigma will stick with me forever even after I become a high-rank god! Are you seriously trying to make your own kin an outcast!? You’re supposed to be my supervisor right? How can you let this to happen?」

「As long as I increase your authority, your interference will become more and more obvious. Rather, I realized from what you did this time that it won’t end with just you directly interfering with Lochlore unless I did this. Your deed had already crossed the line. But, I also wanted to avoid the case in which I force you to use tasteless tactics. Even though what you did was a rare case, many gods were disappointed by it. But, it would turn into a mere ENTERTAINMENT if I prepared a valid reason to the other gods about the reason behind your direct interference, namely opposition.」

「No… Way! There’s no need to go that far! Please reconsider this matter! Please! Please spare me from this!」

「Are you willing to listen now? I did tell you before, stigma and responsibility aren’t trivial matters. It’s directly related to the continuation of Lochlore. If it’s another god, they will ask for your apology and then erase your very existence. Now the only way out for you is to eliminate Kanata Kanbara as soon as possible while the damage to your reputation is still at a minimum. I expect to see your recovery.」

「Forgive…! Please spare me…!」

Nyarlhotep called his master with a frail voice.

But, the presence of the high-rank god, his master, had already vanished. 𝐟re𝚎𝘄𝚎𝐛𝚗o𝚟el.c𝐨𝚖

Meaning that his master had already decided to make Nyarlhotep as part of the show, he was no longer the mastermind behind the scene.

「You’re the one who should take the responsibility and yet, why do I have to…」

Nyarlhotep standing feebly on his feet, his gaze was looking at the distortion of the dimension.

It was the scene where Kanata was trying to find Kotone’s body after Alice got killed by Pomera.

「Nyarlhotep, if something happens to Kotone-san, I will make sure to make you regret the fact that you were ever born!」

Kanata on the other side was cursing at Nyarlhotep.

Seeing that, Nyarlhotep finally snapped.

He was so enraged to the point that he forgot to maintain his humanoid form, and returned to his original, ominous figure.

「KANATA KANBARA! HOW DARE A MERE, LOWLY HUMAN LIKE YOU CURSE AT SOMEONE AS LOFTY AS ME! I’LL KILL YOU AND MAKE YOU SUFFER FOR ETERNITY!」
