Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist? Chapter 100

Chapter 100: Countermeasure meeting

Having finished the highway from Wedgefort to Lomaria's fortress, we returned to the mansion in Volton.
I gathered Sophia and the others to talk about the fluctuation of magic power that happened when we were almost done with the highway construction.

「Sophia, Maria, Laeva, Marnie, I want you to swear to never tell what I'm about to say to anyone.」
「Certainly, I am Tak.u.mi's slave, I would not disobey Tak.u.mi-sama's wishes.」
「That's right. Sophisan and I are the same.」

Regarding Sophia and Maria, I trust that they wouldn't betray me even if I release them from slavery.

「Me too, I am much too indebted to Tak.u.mi-sama that it couldn't be put into words, so I would never tell anyone. I wouldn't talk even if I am tortured.」
「No, if you're tortured, talking is fine.」

I retorted Laeva's extreme remark. I want her to take care of herself more than keep the secret.

「Anyway, when we were almost done with the highway construction recently, everyone sensed the fluctuation of magic power, right? Has an occurrence like that happened until now?」

Everyone exchanged glances at my question and shook their heads.

「What I'm gonna talk about from here on might be preposterous and unbelievable, but I'd like you to listen to everything and then decide.」

I started talking about my arrival to this world from the very beginning.
I was a human living in a world completely different from this one, where monsters didn't exist and had no magic.
Dragged into the hero summoning and losing my body, G.o.ddess Norn had picked me up Thereafter, I came to Volton town from Bohd Village. Sophia, Maria, and Kaede know what happened after that.

「Wha?! So Tak.u.mi-sama was a divine messenger sent by G.o.ddess Norn-sama?!」
「「「…………………………」」」

Sophia barely gave a response and the other three were speechless and wide-eyed in surprise.

「The hero summoning itself is impermissible to Norn-sama, so she made it so that it would never activate again.」
「No doubt. Just how much of a negative influence it would be to this world, I don't know. Sydnia summoning heroes is a problem in itself.」

「………… that certainly is.」

Sophia seems to have understood what I wanted to say.
In this world, it is easy to understand that there is no enemy to mankind like those known as a demon lord. Demons are nothing but a race just like humans and elves are. Controlling monsters………, it doesn't happen.
For all that, where is the meaning in expressly summoning heroes?

「They intend to start a war with other countries, don't they?」
「Fighting power of a scale to start a war is impossible no matter how many heroes there are. I think it's about terrorism, but…………」
「A Light G.o.d Faith propaganda?」
「Possibly. There would likely be a number of people that would be deceived by jarring words of heroes.」
「The radical zealots of the Light G.o.d Faith seem to love singing to the tune of a holy war.」

I felt really displeased with the likelihood of what Sophia said turning into reality being high.

Even on Earth, be it in the past and present, there's been no end to strife related to religion. Especially when the number of people lessens, the more radical they become.

「If I can, I don't want to fight people from the same place as me though.」

It is likely that j.a.panese youth were summoned. I just wish that those j.a.panese, summoned as heroes, would act rationally.

TLN: Wow, we're finally at 100 chapters
