Chapter 29 – Weakness….Collapse

Considering what I’ve done so far, I don’t think it will open that easily.

However, just to make sure, I put my hand on the lid of the coffin and pushed it.

「Will it….open…?」

The lid shifted sideways without a sound.

I didn’t think it would open so I didn’t even use that much strength.

I remember the barrier and the mechanism that absorbs magical power in this place.

This will be the last.

I should be pleased but somehow, I felt betrayed.

Such a selfish thought, right?

…..I guess they thought that no one could get to this point.

Certainly, if you were someone from this world, there’s no way you could even get in. The entrance is already an impossible task.

The barrier was made of divine power that can’t be broken through by magic.

Come to think of it, the dragons are said to be divine beasts….but they can’t use divine power.

Well, if they can use it, will they even follow me?

I stare at Light Blue who’s next to me.

Light Blue is staring at the angel.

Could it be that it knows something about this angel?

However, I can’t communicate with it so I can’t ask it to tell me what it knows.

Ahhh, god-sama, please, come back soon.

With that, my language problem will finally be solved.

Ah!

I look at the angel in front of me.

Right, since it’s an angel, shouldn’t it be able to understand Japanese?

According to my knowledge, an angel is a messenger of god.

It might be able to teach me a lot about magic.

Okay, let’s wake it up.

….how exactly should I do that?

The cover is open but there’s no sign of the angel waking up.

However, this is really creepy.

Is it because its face is too neat?

Male? Female? Or are angels asexual?

….I don’t really care.

For now, let’s try to open the cover completely.

The cover moved without resistance and even fell down because I used too much force.

The moment it hits the ground, it shatters with a high-pitched, crispy, breaking sound.

「Whoah!」

While I was surprised by that, the coffin began to glow.

It seems like I’ve done something wrong again.

What am I supposed to do in the first place?

The light became brighter and brighter and I protected my eyes again with my arms from too much brightness.

I closed my eyes tightly and even covered them with my arms but tears began to flow from them.

The brightness continued for a while and when the crispy sound turned into a crunchy sound, the light calmed down.

I blinked my eyes a few times and shook off my blurry view.

Now that everything was calm, I looked around to check what was going on.

My companions seemed to be still having trouble seeing.

「Ah, sorry. I’m trying to be careful but…」

Every time I do something, I feel like I’m causing trouble for those around me.

I should think more before I act.

….No, I’m already thinking before doing anything….then, what should I do in this case?

I regained my composure and looked at the coffin.

The transparent coffin had many small cracks and looked like it was about to break.

I hurriedly checked the inside.

Hahaha….seriously?

I blink a few times, not wanting to believe it, reality doesn’t change.

….you’re really trying to disappoint me, are you?

Yeah, I already expected this.

I was really expecting that if I had an angel, I could do something with my language problem.

That’s the main reason I woke it up.

It shouldn’t be bad.

And yet, here we are.

No, you could say that I’ve succeeded.

Because we managed to stare at each other.

However, I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.

I really don’t know where I should pour my anger and frustration after being betrayed by my expectations.

………………………………………………….fufufu.

I’ve been thinking about it for a while.

I’ve been trying not to think about it but, what kind of idiots the gods are to miss something this big?

I mean, they know how to manage and create worlds so why didn’t they go into more detail?

How could they have missed this cave or the magic circle where even I could feel the divine power?

It’s impossible.

God-sama looks like a hermit and apparently, he seems to be one.

It’s really annoying to be something that he looks like!

I heard that the gods were angry because of those stupid apprentices but why are they letting them off the hook?

It’s true that I don’t know how apprentices are trained to be gods.

However, an apprentice is a student of gods, right?

If that is the case, shouldn’t they watch over them closely?

There are still half-mortals and they are already running wild.

In fact, they let them run amok for hundreds of years!

I think it’s god’s fault for letting that happen for so long!

Look at what they’ve done here!

The next time he comes back, I’ll just leave him alone! Damn it!

Enough is enough!

Give my hopes back!

「Haa」

Abusive words are going around my head.

I sighed heavily once again and faced the reality in front of me.

Inside the breaking coffin, there’s an angel.

It has wings on its back and has a dull look in its eyes.

The angel was about 2 years old and very cute…..

When I saw the coffin, the angel was an adult.

However, after I broke the cover and light flooded in, it turned into a child angel.

It was a child angel, or perhaps calling it an infant angel will be much better.

Then

「Uhh….haa?」

No matter how much I think about it, I can’t find any meaningful words.

My strength was drained from my body and I sat down on the floor.

I really don’t care what’s going to happen anymore.

As I was sitting on the floor, I felt a wobbling vibration.

I hurriedly stood up and picked up the angel from the coffin.

As I looked around, I saw that there were large cracks in the walls and other parts of the cave.

「No, this place is going to collapse! Everyone, get out of here!」

I called out to my friends and ran towards the exit of the cave.

When I looked behind me, I could see everyone who came with me.

Great, they are following me obediently.

I exit the cave and check on my companions.

It seemed that everyone had evacuated safely.

Just as I was feeling relieved, the entrance to the cave collapsed with a bang.

「That was close.」

Then the next moment, the sky became unusually bright.

「Ahhh, what is it this time?」

I asked Koa to take me to the sky.

There, I saw five magic circles surrounding the place I was.

The magic circles were connected by lines.

「Pentagram?」

As I looked at them, the lines collapsed and the magic circles turned into light and gathered in one place.

We’re a little far from that light but the power I felt from it was pure divine power.

What am I supposed to do?

As I was wondering, out of nowhere, a monster core that was absorbing divine power flew at me.

Then, it absorbed the divine power as if nothing happened.

As I was stunned by the light disappearing, the monster core flew away again.

「Ehto, solved? Was that enough to solve what’s happening?」

I looked around but there was no change.

Perhaps nothing more will happen.

Anyway, was this place the middle of that pentagram?

….maybe it’s still there?

Anyway, let’s go back to my house first and find out.

「Oooohhhhh….」

And let’s not forget the angel in my arms.

I don’t know what to do with it.

I think I’ll keep it for a while.

…..I’m not sure but, the one eyes should be able to raise an infant.

They are jack of all trades after all.
