This is the story of a magician and an elf girl.

"Wait...what if...what if magic fails him...what will happen to us..."

“…If that happens…Satan will gain the power of a magician…that is, the power of an intelligent life form, and then we’ll all be finished…Satan will redefine the laws of this world, completely erase the existence of humans, and create a world where only ancient creatures can survive…In the face of that power…we will be powerless to fight back…and we will definitely die…”

"!"

"!"

Athena, who added reasonable reasons to buffer the "phenomenon errors" caused by John's interference with the law, did not know how long this ambiguous approach could last. After all, the power of the magician did not originally come from the skill tree. It was more appropriate to say that it was a skill that had not passed the review. If there were not many phenomenon errors like that, after a certain period of time, the errors would gradually be suppressed by natural phenomena and would no longer occur.

"...What do you think..."

"..."

"…I hope the magician wins…or Satan…"

"...contradictory question...I don't know how to answer..."

"…You must have your own opinion, right… Tell me what you think…"

"..."

Jack knew that no matter whether the magician or Satan won, in the end people would face death.

"... to die meaningfully... or to die in pain and despair... to be honest, I don't want to choose... but if I really have to choose... I would rather die with some value than die meaninglessly."

"...Yes, the magician's starting point is to consider our future... But the devil is different... It is the embodiment of malice... The ruler of darkness... Hera once wanted to restrain it with the power of power, but the power of the magic eye is too strong, even the goddess of the queen of heaven cannot easily control Satan's spirit... The only one in this world who can fight it is John, the light of the times... Only the pioneer who manages all intellectual power can do it... You must believe in him... For the future of this era... For the future of people - John needs your trust to do it."

"... Even if... you say that..."

"——We believe it."

"——We believe it."

"——We believe it."

"……you……"

At this time, the female adventurers who had been eavesdropping on the conversation behind Jack and his friends were saved by John and Linnae. According to Wendy, if they had not extended a helping hand to the demi-humans, they might still be in the clutches of the human traffickers.

"Lord John is not that kind of person!"

"Even if you say that! I don't believe it! Lord John is a gentle man! And he's more handsome than Lord Jack!"

"Ms. Linnae told me that before! But I still believe in Sir John!"

"If it weren't for him and Miss Linnae, we wouldn't be where we are today!"

"Our lives were given to us by them in the first place. It doesn't matter if he wants us to give them back now!"

Voices echoing that view continued to spread among the adventurers. Even if some humans still didn't quite understand the situation, they would choose to believe Linnai, who had helped them before.

"Mr. Jack..."

"...Look... people actually do know... the world that the magician hopes for... has actually arrived a long time ago... it's just that he didn't have the opportunity to witness the truth... he always saw the truth hidden by people in the dark... but... even so... he should have nothing to do with these people... I don't want him to swallow up his true wish because of the darkness he sees before his eyes."

"..."

In fact, Jack knew it, but he just wanted to protect the lives he saw now and deny the magician's intention. When he knew how vast the world was, he would realize that the people he was protecting now were only one in tens of millions. Compared with their lives, the weight of the new era was not something that could be matched by life.

A magician who possesses the power of change should also know this.

Why did he do that? Why...or rather, why did he take action after a month? If he really had that kind of power and his own purpose, this era should have ended in a few days.

Actually...he is hesitating too, isn't he?

Why? Why are you hesitating?

There is no need to think about the meaning of this reason. The answer has always been in Jack's heart.

"...I really can't stand you guys...You guys were beaten so badly, don't you have any regrets at all?"

"Well... a little bit... but he is John after all... this is natural..."

"He can fight against an army of puppets alone... How can someone like that possibly win?"

"It's natural to lose. I knew it a long time ago. I don't feel guilty about it now."

"And Lord John doesn't intend to kill us, does he? If he really had that intention, we and those guys who didn't understand what he said would have died several times already."

The adventurers who didn't take the last incident to heart at all made Jack realize that the adventurers didn't bear a grudge against the magician, and most of those who stayed knew how to look at the current situation rationally - this was not sympathy, nor was it wishful thinking. Everyone present had seen how ugly and embarrassing the world was, and how many people out there were willing to take the lives of others in exchange for their own interests - and the appearance of John changed all of this. He was the pinnacle among the doers of good.

"No matter what Lord John wants to do...we will not have any advice, he is always doing it for us."

"She's right. Sir John saved us from those damned human traffickers, even at the cost of dirtying his own hands. I saw the look in his eyes when he killed someone, and he even sympathized with the person. Obviously, he shouldn't have been willing to do that."

"This world needs people like John-sama... or Miss Linnae. To us, they are our light."

"So no matter what, we will choose to believe him."

At the same time, Jack also realized that his position in people's hearts could not be replaced by the president's agent or the goddess - John was the light of the people, the only light in this era that would interfere with people's choices, and he would take action for the future of the people, which was something that Jack, who had no power, could never do.

"...wait...did you see it..."

"This is……"

"Uh……"

"!"

At this moment, something like a miracle happened.
