“Rose!”
Rose responds to my voice, and its vines enveloped in the same golden light that composes the sanctuary creep towards Araysla.
The sanctuary ‘detached office of the Kagero Institute’ has temporarily merged with this world, and since Rose’s vines fill that world, it’s no exaggeration to say Rose rules the world right now.
Rose starts wrapping its vines all over Araysla, including her ‘subjects’ bursting from her hands.
For a moment, Rose succeeds in covering Araysla’s entire body, but the flow of ‘subjects’ doesn’t stop, and slowly pushes Rose’s vines.
The vines start creaking as they continue to be pushed back, and the pressure of Araysla’s ‘subjects’ bursting from the inside forcibly stretches the vines and starts ripping their fibers.
At the same time, the golden light around the vines starts to very slowly be consumed by the things that look like insect legs.
“Plate, report. Any insufficiency of components?”
I check the plate hovering in front of me, and letters start appearing very quickly in response to my voice.
『The speed of the generation of Araysla’s subjects is increasing. Calculating. 『Magic elements』, 『curses』, 『divine protection』, all is lacking. Containing is…』
“Plate, use all the potions in the sister tower.”
『Using ten thousand potions of the highest quality stored in the sister tower.』
“Plate, what about the disposal of Araysla’s subjects all over the world?”
『Disposal complete.』
“Good. Convert everything in the sanctuary ‘detached office of the Kagero Institute’, including the sister tower, into divine protection.”
『With the extinction of the ‘detached office of the Kagero Institute’, the world combined with it will return to normal. Should everything that exists in the ‘detached office of the Kagero Institute’ that cannot be converted into divine protection be manifested in this world?』
“Execute.”
The world slowly returns to normal. First, Rose’s main body, a rose, is manifested in my hand.
Only one vine stretches from it, but all the vines that were restraining Araysla converge into this one vine.
Furthermore, the shine of magic elements added from the plate and the red light of divine protection paint a spiral in the air.
At the same time, the world is fully restored to the way it was.
As Rose’s vines disappear and reveal the beach below, the people who I sent to take refuge in the sanctuary also return.
Of course, that includes Kalin and the others.
“Return the black curse cloth to curses.”
“Acknowledged. Secured seven percent of the necessary material.”
I give instructions to the plate, and the black curse cloth cloak I’m wearing is unraveled, and melts into Rose’s vine.
Once it combines with the magic elements and divine protection, the golden light binding Araysla gets stronger.
But soon enough, her ‘subjects’ push back.
I look at this, and sigh.
“…Plate, what if I converted all my memories and emotions into curses?”
『It would secure a little less than thirty percent of the amount necessary. Sooner or later, Araysla would break free.』
But then, I hear a voice coming from behind me.
“Rust… What do you intend to…”
It’s Kalin.
The pressure of the divine atmosphere means most people are kneeling or lying on the ground.
Kalin’s face is also twisted by this pressure, and she struggles to walk, but she still manages to reach me with her own power.
