VOL.-1 Definition and Surprise?

[The Brave is a common character in Japanese RPGs and anime, and originally meant to be a brave hero who saves people from a crisis.

Generally, it has the following characteristics:

Designated by essentially irresistible unnatural forces (such as fate, gods, specific weaponry, etc.). It is unique.

- Occurs in conjunction with a great crisis (most commonly known as the 'Demon King who intends to destroy the world') and will eventually resolve it.

Have a high sense of responsibility.

You will receive selfless help from all kinds of people for no reason.

Of course, with the appearance of the brave, it is easier for us to think of the final boss such as the Demon King or the Evil Dragon. Of course, there are also stalks that non-brave people can't kill. 】

The main god said to himself, and asked Hiiragi who was standing in the main god's space

[Do you think the person you meet, such as the great teacher, is considered a brave man?] 】

"How is that possible......"

Hiiragi also immediately answered this question of the main god.

Hikiya Hachiman doesn't want to play a hero, and at the same time, he can't become a hero, let alone the strength and courage to become a hero.

However, this is not to say that the great teacher is an annoying guy, at least in the eyes of most onlookers, as long as you see the actions of the great teacher from beginning to end, you will find that the great teacher who plays the role of the villain is the most gentle person in the work.

Understand the atmosphere, read the air, learn to play, pull the flag appropriately, and be clean, which protagonist can easily do this?

In an era when the male protagonists are all wooden, dull men, the big teacher is obviously outstanding and has an abnormal light.

Of course, it is not excluded that the annoying things done by the big teacher are not excluded. Because he just thinks about the result. I don't care what others think.

The gentle guy also has a cold side. A big teacher who doesn't want to fit in with the campus and insists on his own opinions is such a person.

Not a hero or a hero, just a guy who doesn't like it to outsiders.

[Nangong Hiiragi, it seems that you have changed a lot. 】

"Of course, after entering that world, there was no fighting, and my body gradually relaxed, and I almost completely integrated into that daily life."

Hiiragi also moved her body, and the poisonous tongue under the snow, the loneliness of the great teacher, and the liveliness of Yubihama sounded.

Different worlds have different protagonists. Such a person is quite a dazzling existence.

Then the question arises, so emphasized the Lord God

[Are the brave considered heroes? Or is it that a hero is a hero? 】

"Generally speaking, there are more definitions of heroes, so when a person is called a hero, he is not necessarily a brave person."

For example, in the world of "OVERLORD" that he experienced before, Hiiragi also thinks that Anz is a hero to the people of Karn Village and to the lizardmen, but not to others.

But if it's a brave person, it's basically an existence that shoulders a major mission and is supported by people.

Of course, with the diversification of various settings, the stories about the brave that people describe are gradually developing in a non-royal direction.

Hiiragi also stood in the main god space and made such thoughts and speeches.

This change is probably akin to the transition from a matrilineal society to a patrilineal society. The focus is no longer on the brave man to defeat the demon king. It's how the brave live. The more popular ones are genres like "The Demon King Brave" and "Let's Work, Lord the Demon King". ”

It is valued because it deviates from the conventional relationship. Coupled with the promotion of comics and animations, their popularity has further increased.

With the emergence of this kind of work, the setting of the brave VS demon king has long been abandoned as an old-fashioned thing, and there is only other content left.

The brave will neither defeat nor drive away the demon king, but will work with the demon king or fall in love.

Some people support the royal way, some people support the non-royal way, and as far as Hiiragi is concerned, he belongs to the centrists.

Although this stance is somewhat foul, it is also the best decision to choose OCD.

After all, the story of the Demon King Brave who is not the royal road and the story of the Demon King Brave of the Royal Road are very interesting, so if you want to give up the other side in order to support one side, it is better to choose both.

It's like the words of a certain protagonist, 'You are all my wings!' Again, isn't it enough to accept everything?

If you can't change the world, isn't there only one choice to change yourself?

Hiiragi's choice now is to continue until he breaks through this damn infinite world and becomes the strongest.

It's just that the concept of the strongest is somewhat vague, after all, if you want to kill the main god in front of you, you need to surpass the power of the main god.

However, Hiiragi, who is a traverser, is limited by the ability of the main god after all, and if you want to fight back, you must jump out of the box of the 'main god space'.

Since he can't use his abilities after entering the main god space, Hiiragi also needs to find a way to solve this problem and let himself use the ability in the main god space.

[You look like you're going to rebel, but it doesn't matter, it's part of my observation, if you can destroy me, try it.] 】

"Who knows what you're thinking, so I won't be deceived by your bad taste, even if I want to kill you, I have to plan it."

[It turns out that you really want to kill me, I know what you think, and I really deserve to be the closest human species to the demon.] 】

The closest human species to a demon?

It's not the first time I've heard such an ironic statement.

After all, as long as you watch the news, you will know -

In some places, explosions occurred due to man-made causes;

In some countries, there is turmoil, which is due to man-made causes;

Some organisms are about to become extinct, which is due to man-made reasons;

Some of the environments have been damaged due to man-made causes;

Some people find harm because it is man-made.

Obviously, in the name of bringing peace to the world, in fact, everyone only cares about things related to themselves, and it doesn't matter what the world is.

Scientists say that the next world war will happen in a few hundred years, and it will be a battle for water, if the prediction comes true. The world has come to an end.

Everybody knows. More than 70 percent of the planet is made up of oceans. Human beings can be said to live in isolation, imprisoned in a world from which there is no escape.

For the sake of the people they love, for the sake of what they want to do, human beings are willing to be imprisoned here.

By the way, this sentence is from "Gintama" and has undergone some modifications......

All in all, Hiiragi won't stop here, it's not over yet.

Of course, I won't say what is just starting to be so old-fashioned, but it's almost time to get to the final stage.

Anyone can say it if they become stronger. The problem is that it doesn't necessarily happen in the end, it's something that you have to pay a lot to get.

However, the former does not mean that you will get the so-called happiness, because happiness is not as simple as getting what you need.

Hiiragi couldn't figure out how long it took to come to the main god space, but he knew that the mission was completed after that day.

The last time I saw someone was under the snow, and she took the food she made to Hiiragi Ya, who lived next door, and the fried meat tasted good.

Presumably when he was sleeping, he was teleported by the main god, this is Hiiragi's guess.

In any case, now is not the time to think about those questions.

[There is one thing to remind you, until then. What do you think I am? 】

"What are you? Could it be the lines in "Kung Fu Panda 3"? It's not about making you someone else, it's about making yourself yourself...... or something."

[Not really. I've been watching human novels lately, and I haven't gone to the movies, and by the way, all Xiuzhen novels are the same, and the plot of slapping the face is really good. 】

It can be seen that the main god also seems to like Long Aotian's plot.

[I didn't like Long Aotian's plot, but I thought it was very interesting and powerful at first, so after reading the second book by the same author...... It's just that the same protagonist has lost his memory and crossed over again. 】

"Almost, isn't this the same routine in novels."

[Actually, Nangong, you crossed over after a cute girl lost her memory.] 】

"Die."

Hiiragi's fist swung out, and as a result, it passed through the body of the main god, and he didn't have to think about it to know that he couldn't hit this guy now.

[Shouldn't human beings have illusions? 】

"Fantasy and cranky thinking are not the same thing, whether it is novels or comics, most of them are similar, and human wisdom is no longer enough to support innovation in this field."

No matter what kind of setting is thrown, it is already something that has existed, and the only thing to do is how to use your own writing to make the story special.

It's not enough to just be special, it has to be in line with the tastes of the readers of the time, so it's not a simple matter.

[If you want to talk about routines and settings, just let the hero be liked by many cute girls! ] There's nothing bad about the plot of the waste, happiness, fun, harem, blessing and profit, as long as the four laws of a gentleman are obeyed, they will be recognized! 】

"You're completely stuck in a state of scrap wood, big ball of light."

[Isn't it, you don't want to be liked by a lot of cute girls? Of course, I can't, the other main gods are a bunch of nonsense guys. 】

Hiiragi also looked at the main god with contempt, is this guy qualified to talk about other main gods?

However, since the main god has no gender, the situation of being the main god by other main gods must be quite strange.

Of course, the main god can also set his own gender, for example, the ball of light in front of him likes to appear as a young girl.

"Now that the mission is over, can it be said that there are no skill points or ability points in this main god world?"

[What's that outdated?] Is there still a Lord God for it? How old is that Lord God? Is it an old man? There's no such thing, oh, it's troublesome. 】

"You're just bothering......"

[Set values, make up programs, build systems, input rules and manufacturing theorems, think about it and feel troublesome, it's better to spend your energy on making up.] 】

"So I've been cheated by you until now?!"

[Calm down, calm down, young man......]

The main god flew into the air, and Hiiragi also distanced himself slightly.

[It's said that it's an old-fashioned system setting.,It's been used since many years ago.,It's just a bunch of old antiques.,It's too level.] 】

"No, no, no, I think that an irresponsible god like you is the most unqualified existence."

If only there were points for that main god. Hiiragi also thinks that he will become stronger now.

Although there will be some hesitation in choosing skills. But at least it's much better than having a single skill now.

It's better to say. Your own function is completely a passive skill, after all, if you don't contact the event, it will be meaningless to read the archive like this.

[I hate old and old things, wouldn't it be better to make yourself stronger?] Let's forge a path for a new time-traveler and a new Lord God! 】

"I felt like I was going to die before I succeeded."

You are immortal. 】

"I'm using adjectives, don't you understand?"

Hiiragi also glared at the main god above, this main god was actually more dead than Hiiragi.

Some tired Hiiragi also sat directly on the ground, and the main god space was the same as usual. Except for his own side, in the distance is an empty world, without borders.

Presumably to prevent Hiiragi from getting snow blindness, the main god specially planted a black pole somewhere so that Hiiragi's eyes could be placed on it.

[Time flies really fast, isn't it, human Nangong Hiiragi also. 】

"I can't deny it, if I can, can I be like the goddess of some works, and give me an artifact."

"I'm bothered by what you say. It's been underperforming lately, you put it this way. The days that were already a little nervous were even more sad~]

"Where did you come from, an incompetent salesman!"

[Don't define me as incompetent, without me, you wouldn't be able to enter those interesting worlds!] 】

This Hiiragi really loves and hates the main god.

There are good places to cross, and of course there are bad places.

It's just that in the face of the main god who feels good about himself, Hiiragi doesn't want to watch it continue to put gold on his face.

[So how does it feel to travel this time?] What's the catch? The original plan was to take you through seven worlds, but I didn't expect it to be the eighth. 】

"Plans? So what happens after that? Let me go back to the real world? ”

[How is it possible, let's talk about your feelings about this time crossing, it can be used as a memoir of my main god.] 】

What a god who likes to talk to himself.

Hiiragi also felt that he couldn't get any good answers if he continued to ask, so he sorted out his feelings a little.

"It's not bad, but at least it makes me understand that youth is really a tough opponent to deal with."

Hiiragi didn't think so before, but after experiencing those stories, he found that his youth was much simpler.

Although there are a lot of troubles on the way, Hiiragi also knows exactly what to do.

However, Hiiragi also hesitates because when faced with the choice they make between the big teacher and the snow, they often can't immediately deny it.

No one is wrong, but no one can get the support of others.

It's wrong, and it's also right for them, which is somewhat frustrating.

[Feel helpless, huh.] 】

“……”

[Even if you get a good result and experience, you have the ability to read the archive, which can be used to cut time, but when facing the problem called youth, you also find it a little tricky. 】

"It's the big teachers, but I don't think I'm completely at a disadvantage."

Hiiragi is not messed up with the routine, and knows what to do and what not to do.

The task given by the Lord God to solve the problems of the ministry is actually something else, not to solve the problem, but to understand the problem.

In that world, the contradictions between the three members of the ministry must be carefully observed to be understood, and if you participate casually, you will only waste energy and time.

This makes Hiiragi also understand that when he wants to solve a problem, he does not act to solve the problem, but to understand the problem.

In the past, Hiiragi said that it was under the banner of collecting information, but it actually didn't grasp the center of gravity.

It's a bit confusing to say that, so Hiiragi summed it up.

The means to solve the problem is to understand the problem;

It's not about putting your eyes on the same place.

It's like Natsume Soseki's "I Am a Cat", it is precisely because of the perspective of the cat as the protagonist that there is only literature and art, that this work is full of charm.

Depending on the focus and perspective, the results will of course be different.

[So do you have any profound experiences during this crossing?] 】

"Why do you ask this like a parent, do you want to trap me again?"

[Hey, hey. What are these words. Look at my kind eyes! 】

The Lord God who said this again took on the posture of a young girl. Hiiragi still can't accept it like this.

Obviously just a main god, a wicked main god who pulls people into the infinite world without authorization and makes people complete tasks without authorization, why did he become such a cute young girl?

This time, the hair color of the young girl transformed by the main god is similar to the legendary Mary Sue, that is, the multicolored color, which is gorgeous to an outrageous degree.

The red dress has a lot of decorative pendants and patterns on it, and it falls lightly in front of Hiiragi.

[The essence of human beings is lolicon! ] 】

"What are you talking nonsense...... If I want to say that the most profound experience I felt during this crossing, it was probably the actions and speeches of the last group of people. ”

After the 'report of theft' this riot. Everybody got a little bit of growth.

Whether it's Sagami Minami or a few people from the Ministry of Service, they all find out that they are not doing well enough.

In fact, admitting one's mistakes is not as simple as one thinks, because it means denying one's own efforts to achieve it.

When all your efforts are in vain, no one will be happy, right?

Hiiragi thought the same thing, and then lay down on the ground of the main god space.

It's also a bit wrong to say that it's the earth, because I feel that the texture of the ground is different from the texture of the ground in the real world, but a little soft and elastic ground.

Not...... It's kind of like ****......

[Look, I'm completely different from the average Lord God.] 】

"You're non-mainstream enough now, Lord God."

Hiiragi also looked at the young girl-type main god standing on his belly. I can't feel her weight at all.

It imitates a human in appearance, but it is not fully reproduced in other aspects. I guess it's troublesome.

But if it comes out again, Hiiragi's stomach can't withstand the trampling of a young girl.

Even if it's a lot stronger, it's still at the level of an ordinary human in terms of physical fitness.

[My idea is very simple, I believe people like you can easily understand, that is, to make yourself stronger. 】

The young female main god squatted down, her jewel-like eyes looking down at Hiiragi from above, her cherry-red lips opening and closing as she spoke.

[Provide you with the points of the main god, increase skills and other values or something, except that I'm troublesome, don't you think it's very stupid? Anyway, you can't use most of the skills, and in a real battle, don't rely on human instinct and belief? The external power can only provide you with a part. 】

"Even so, I want to get some special skills...... It's rewarding to become stronger, but it's actually quite difficult to fight. ”

"Your difficulties are my pleasures. 】

"You guy."

The Lord God let out a whoop and jumped over Hiiragi's head.

The bottom of the skirt of the young girl-type main god flashed in an instant, and Hiiragi also discovered that she was a main god with her own holy light......

[Think about it, isn't it strange to provide those so-called Lord God Points? You already have the ability to 'cut time', do you still need those chicken skills? 】

"In front of my ability, it's really not very powerful, even so......"

[Even so, what? Don't make excuses, you just want to be a reason to go into the world with peace of mind, right? 】

After the young girl-type main god jumped over Hiiragi, she turned around and looked down at Hiiragi from above again.

Because she bent down, her long colorful hair fell on Hiiragi's face, so Hiiragi also felt a little itchy.

Haven't you already liked the life of traveling to a different world? 】

"How could it be ......"

[You want to go back to the real world because that's the ultimate meaning, but this meaning has faded.] 】

The words of the Lord God were like the whispers of demons, and the face of the lovely young girl seemed to be wearing the mask of a demon.

The main god is always the main god, and he will never be on the side of mankind.

[You also know,Human beings' definition of happiness itself is very vague,My performance is not good because there is no suitable time-traveler to send over,In fact, there are many time-travelers in this world.,Travelers from different planes can even create a country when they get together...... So, they all hate infinite worlds? The result is negative, and the original disgust will be diluted in your own experience, and this is not the ghost of our Lord God, but the ghost of your own heart. 】

“…… It's full of sarcasm. ”

[It's a bit like 'you say no, but your body is honest'! 】

The young girl-type main god left Hiiragi's side and ran to Hiiragi's side.

[Right?] Human beings are the most faithful creatures to their inner thoughts. 】

No......

[It's desire, desire.] 】

"I can't completely deny it."

Hiiragi also smiled bitterly and grabbed the skirt of the young girl-type main god.

"Also, don't jump around for me, if you want to show it, remove the holy light for me!"

[Sorry! This is the Light within. 】

It's annoying.

Hiiragi also put an end to the topic and asked the Lord God another question

"Where's Nagi?"

[Ah, Miss Nagi? Her mission failed. 】

"Huh?"

What did the Lord God say? (To be continued.) )
