277 Secret manoeuvres restart

Now then, with my mood restored I now have to begin the secret maneuvers again. First of all, Ive requested the Demon King to requisition some sweets and to set up a conference with the Divine Word Religion. Regarding the sweets, I was given the reassuring words Leave it to me!, so Ill wait with anticipation. For the Divine Word Religion, I expect itll mean waiting until they reply. One of the doll spiders is dispatched to the Divine Word Religion currently, so keeping in contact is simple. Since theyve only just finished with the war as well they might not be in the state to be able to quickly open the conference anyway, so I guess we can just leisurely wait for them. Actually, for us we still have to withdraw the whole army before it can march, so were not in a state to be moving yet either.

Therefore, the only ones who can freely move around are pretty much just me, vampire girl and Felmina-chan. While in theory the Demon King could move if she wanted to, naturally the supreme commander cant just go wandering around of course. Eh? What about the 10th Army? I can just leave it all to Waldo-kun. Compared to me being in command, Im sure he can move them more accurately instead anyway.

Such being the case, lets begin with having those who can move do what they can. Firstly, for the clones in change of the region around the System, theyll investigate to see if theres a way to prevent the Goddess from tampering with the System any further. If it seems to be possible then theyll try to do that. Breaking the Hero System is impossible. Unless I can make use of the tiny gap when the Hero is being substituted, then its impossible to destroy the Hero System. Since if I try to force it, it will then have a negative impact on the current Hero. In other words, on Yamada-kun. Even if that wasnt the case, it would still require consuming a huge amount of energy to destroy the Hero System, making it a situation of putting the cart before the horse, so Im not going to do it.

So, my main body meets up with vampire girl and Felmina-chan. I collect Potimass body, and temporarily store it in another dimension. Ill analyse it later. For now, first of all I have to start preparations to do something about Yamada-kuns homeland.

So in conclusion, go and entice the Empire.

I have no idea what you might be concluding though?

Despite giving out my instructions, vampire girl cant even comprehend the words. What a useless person. Here you gotta use your feelings to perceive what the other person wants to convey. Its totally not the case that my words were insufficient. Its not, okay?

The human higher-ups in Yamada-kuns homeland have been infected by Potimas. While I dont know what Potimas is aiming for by doing that, its obvious that it wont be anything good if its taken any further, so I gotta do something about it before long. Specifically, secretly maneuver to wipe out Potimass clones, by killing everyone who was corrupted by them. Such as the king.

I think to save any of the humans once theyve been corrupted, is probably not impossible. I think so, but it would require putting in a considerable amount of effort for a start, and it would probably be possible to only save one person. When one is saved the others would surely be killed. In that case, it would be simpler to resign ourselves to losing the whole lot of them from the very start.

So, since it means wiping out the higher ups of the kingdom entirely, its unavoidable for it to become a major incident. In addition, since they gotta be wiped out in one fell swoop, Im sure it would become a considerably blatant incident. If theyre not wiped out in one fell swoop, then Potimas will be able to pick up on it. Accordingly, Im planning to have Natsume-kun take the role of the principal offender.

Ive thought of directly doing it myself, but I want to conceal my existence from Potimas as much as possible. While he should have learnt about my existence to some extent with my recent killing of the Hero, he shouldnt be able to figure out that Im actually a god. Its better if Potimas mistakenly considers our greatest fighting force to be the Demon King. I bet Kuro wouldnt take action what with one thing and another, so he doesnt count as a fighting force.

Accordingly, the ones I selected were Natsume-kun and imouto-chan. Natsume-kuns gone berserk in various ways so I intend to use him and then throw him away, and imouto-chan will be made to control him. This way Natsume-kun will be the center of attention, and Ill avoid it. While at it, it would be good if the Demon King Armys movements could also be kept hidden.

So, Natsume-kun is the prince of the Empire. In which case, lets use that connection to the maximum, basically. The amount of troops that Natsume-kun can control with his own authority probably isnt much, so vampire girl will use her Charm to manipulate the Empires higher-ups, and backup Natsume-kun. Natsume-kun himself has the highest rank skill of Charm from Lust as well, so at this stage lets go overtake the Empire from the inside. In that case, it should become much easier when the time comes for the Demon King Army to depart for the elf village.

Yup. Even if I do say so for myself, its a wonderful plan eh. Just rather heretical. Its a bit too late for anything else though.

With supreme effort I explained all this to vampire girl and Felmina-chan. Phew, that was harder than defeating the Hero you know.

Got it. Okay then, lets meet with this imouto-chan person.

I dunno whats okay then though. Hey vampire girl, werent you ever taught that when explaining something to someone you need to properly cover everything from A to Z? Use my feelings to make a guess? Im not an esper you know, so of course I cant do that. Sheesh, the youth of today are hopeless at using sufficient words. Well, from here on they might be working together anyway, so if she wants to meet then Ill let her meet.

I take a look at imouto-chans situation through a clone. Since her onii-san Yamada-kun suddenly started acting suspiciously in class and then left, shes quite restless. Shes returned to her own room, but shes nervously pacing around the room. So youre worrying about your onii-chan that much huh. I see, I see.

Well then, lets raid imoutos dinner. We raid imouto-chans room via teleport.

!?

Imouto-chan stiffens in shock when we suddenly appear. Vampire girl has fastened her eyes on imouto-chan. Felmina-chan, somehow seems to be looking at imouto-chan with eyes full of pity. Incomprehensible.

Do you want to know what happened to your onii-san?

In response to my question, imouto-chan gives a start of surprise. Its lovely that youre so easy to understand. Well then, shall we get started on making a deal with the devil, or rather, Evil God.
