<h4>Vol. 1 - Chapter 8.5: World Saviour (5)</h4>
"God''s mandate to save the world? That''s quite the tale," Orneo spoke with a doubtful face.
"Since Sir Orneo was in Leirune, it is not surprising that you do not know about it. However, the world has been changing dramatically since the day the oracle received the divine revtion from the heavens," Marguerite answered to rify his suspicions.
"A divine revtion from the heavens, was it...?"
"A divine decree descended. <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>''The Master Swordsman Lord Tartarin is the true saviour who emerged in this world without a hero.''</strong>" </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "T--The world-without-a-hero''s, true saviour!?" </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Takashi eximed in surprise. He was not expecting that. </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> (What the hell? My existence, they are denying my existence!?) </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Exce also raised her voice. </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "L-Lord Hero isn''t... Lord Suzuki isn''t the world saviour?! Is that what you are saying!?" </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Marguerite did not answer but instead signaled one of her subordinate soldiers with her chin. </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "Read out the sacred scriptures." </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> A male soldier unraveled a scroll. And then he read out the contents out loud in a clear voice. </em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "''<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>The hero of salvation who was sent into the world before was not the true hero, but an impostor...''</strong>" </em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "An impostor, you mean ME!?" </em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Takashi shouted again. The reading was interrupted, and Marguerite cleared her throat. </em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "Please listen calmly. Lord Impostor... No, Lord Suzuki" </em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "What the hell? What do you mean by Lord IMPOSTOR!!" </em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "L-Lord Hero! Stay calm!" </em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "U-Uh-huh! Let''s hear what they have to say first!" </em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> After being pacified by Exce and Orneo, Takashi reluctantly decided to remain silent and listened to what the so-called sacred scriptures had to say. </em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>''ording to Divine Regtions, another hero cannot be sent from another dimension. But God, in His mercy, will not forsake your world. We bestow the heavenly sword and the heavenly power upon a vessel that inhabits this earth to serve as your savior.''</strong>" </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> (Heavenly Sword and Heavenly Power...? What the hell...?) </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>''The heavenly sword is for Tartanin in the easternnds. The heavenly power is for Zhaviest, who dwells in the West. The world shall once again be led to peace through the work of the true saviours who possess the power of God."</strong>'' </em></em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> The soldier rolled up the scroll, bowed, and stepped back after finishing his task. </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "What a...!" </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Orneo, who had been smiling earlier, now muttered with a serious expression on his face. Exce was also speechless. </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Takashi tried to process in his mind what he had just heard. </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Perhaps that goddess realized she had made a mistake with the two people, Sasaki and Suzuki, after reincarnating them into another world. If that is the case, Sasaki or someone with equivalent power should be reincarnated into this world again, but divine regtions only allow one reincarnated person per world. </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Therefore, she had no choice but to bestow to talented individuals living in this world the ability to save the world, namely, the "Heavenly Sword" and the "Heavenly Power" as a measure to amend theck of strength of Takashi, the reincarnated person in this world. </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> (But that doesn''t mean I''m an impostor!! I mean, God is probably that goddess who sent me to this other world, right!? If that''s the case, then she''s the ONE to me!! It''s not my fault I was sent here by mistake!!) </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Takashi wasn''t sure if it was that goddess who gave the divine decree or not. However, he had a hunch that this was the case, and that thought made him angry. Marguerite turned her sharp eyes on Takashi and the others. </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "The saviour of the world, the bearer of the Heavenly Sword, the master Swordsman Lord Tartanin, is steadily making preparations to retake the Imperial Capital. As part of those preparations, we, the Salvation Crusaders, have been entrusted with this operation, namely, the task of subduing the Thunder-Lance Charge." </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "Um, Ms. Marguerite. You said you saw Master Leelou''s letter, right? What did Master say?" </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> After a slight hesitation, Marguerite said, "She said she was willing to leave thisnd in Suzuki''s hands." </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "I-If so!" </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "Nevertheless, Lord Tartanin sent us here because he wanted to save the world as soon as possible. Working together with Lord Suzuki''s power to restore human society------that would be the best course of action." </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "You''re going to join forces with my power?" Takashi asked at the unexpected statement. </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "Of course, we must work together to kill all of the Thunder-Lance Charge demons." </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Takashi was astonished at Marguerite''s nonchnt remark. </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "Wa-Wait a minute please! That''s ridiculous!" </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Exce also spoke out in support of Takashi. </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "T-That''s right! Lord Suzuki is also already working on a n to save Leirune!" </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Marguerite raised an eyebrow at Exce''s words. </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "Hou. What kind of n is it?" </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "Coexistence with demonkind!" </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Exce''s words caused aplete hush over the room. After a moment of silence... </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "Hey, hey. Coexistence with those fiends?" </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "Of course, that''s impossible." </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> The soldiers who had been listening to the conversationughed and stared at them. </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> Exce blushed, but she exined, "Lord Suzuki has the ability to be loved by demons." </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> The soldiers allughed at once. </em></em></em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"><em ss="chakra-text css-0"> "What the hell is that? Is that really what you call an ability?" </em></em></em>
