A few moments later....

".... Hah?"

".... What?"

Governor Azazel and Mephisto-sama looked flabbergasted.

"".... Are you joking?""

"...."

I can only silently turn my head because it is awkward to answer.

"HAAAAAHHHH!!!?? YOU MUST BE JOKING!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'ANOTHER WORLD'!? IS THAT EVEN REALLY EXIST!?"

Governor Azazel said hysterically and in disbelief! Meanwhile Mephisto-sama was still silent from being dumbfounded!

Then I refuted Governor Azazel!

"H-HOW DO I KNOW!? I DON'T UNDERSTAND EITHER! I JUST GUESSED IT FROM THE INFORMATION THAT WENT INTO MY MIND, YOU KNOW!?"

Then we were both quiet and trying to calm down.

After we calmed down enough, Mephisto-sama asked.

"Information?"

I nodded slightly and explained to them.

"Yes.... After I managed to attain Balance Breaker and summoned those purple flame, I got the feedback of information about those purple flame that immediately entered my mind. And from that information, I assumed that purple flame came from another world. After all, I've never heard of such a strange flame in this world."

Hearing my explanation, Mephisto-sama and Governor Azazel seem to frown even more and think.

Some time later, Governor Azazel sighed as if to give up.

"Hah~.... Alright, let's just take your assumption as true, then what is the purple flame exactly?"

Hearing Governor Azazel's question, I started to explain.

"That purple flame.... Apart from of course being able to burn, it can increase the power of the owner and also have the power of super regeneration. As long as the owner of that flame still has one breath and is not fatally injured to the heart or head, then no matter how bad the wound is, the flame will be able to heal or regenerate to original state.... And that flame is a fire that absorbs cosmic and stars energy. It means, the fire will be more effective if used in places with high space energy activity and/or when the night is full of stars.... The purple flame's name was [Three Thousand Star Burning Flame]. Rank 9th out of 23 Heavenly Flames.... But, since that Three Thousand Star Burning Flame now fused with Ophis's 'Snake' and became a new flame, now maybe more appropriate to call it... [Infinity Star Flame]."

After listening to my explanation about the purple flame, Governor Azazel seemed to shake his head.

"What the hell.... I've never heard of such a thing in this world.... And you said that purple flame was only ranked 9th out of 23? Then what kind of fire is ranked higher.... Unbelievable...."

Mephisto-sama nodded in agreement with Governor Azazel.

"And our previous guess was correct. Those purple flames have the same regenerative function as Phenex/Phoenix flames but also different. Even so, those purple flame are indeed something beyond this world's common sense.... Hah~...."

Mephisto-sama sighed and shook his head because of this absurd situation.

Well, I can understand their feelings. I myself also find it quite difficult to believe in these abnormal things. After all, who could just nod in believe when someone said that he got something unusual and moreover that person said the thing he got was from another world. Anyone would find it hard to believe such nonsense. Instead, that person will be considered crazy and laughed at!

"What about your Sacred Gear? Is there something else about it?"

Mephisto-sama returned to ask about my Sacred Gear.

I nodded and explained more about my Sacred Gear.

"Yes.... The things summoned by my Sacred Gear are quite random. Even though it is still fulfills my wishess and desires. An example is when summoning this purple flame, at that time all I wished was summoning something that could make me survive and hard to be killed.... This Sacred Gear cannot summon things with wishes or requests that are too detailed. For example, if I want to summon a snake, the snake that will be successfully summoned is random. I can't summon with too much detail whishes like I want a viper, brown colored, black patterned, yellow eyes, 1 m long, 7cm wide, 5cm high, or any other details.... Also, it seems like I can only use Balance Breaker once a month. So even though being able to summon something from another world is really great, this Sacred Gear still has its limitations and drawbacks."

I stopped for a moment to take a breath. Then I spoke again looking more serious than before.

"Then, after hearing Governor Azazel's explanation that that 'Snake' can help break through limits, maybe I can try to further develop my Balance-Breaker Sacred Gear so that it is possible to... summon a living organism or inanimate thing with intelligence."

After I finished explaining, Mephisto-sama and Governor Azazel looked silent for a moment and thought.

I don't know what they are thinking. However, I can understand that they are digesting information about my Sacred Gear.

A few moments time later, Mephisto-sama and the Governor nodded slightly and looked at each other.

"Does this mean... a new Longinus?"

"Apparently?"

Mephisto-sama asked and Governor Azazel seems confirmed.

But, I don't understand what they mean.

"Longinus?"

Seeing that I looked confused and asked for an explanation, Governor Azazel nodded.

"Yes. The highest class of Sacred Gears that is said to be capable of slaying gods. There have only been 13 Longinus so far. But, it seems like your Sacred Gear can be considered a new Longinus because of such it's uncommon abilities.... Because, if you can summon creatures or things that can threaten gods, then your Sacred Gear can be considered Longinus! Besides, Longinus is actually type of Sacred Gears that has more than one abilities yet in one Sacred Gear package.... So, because your Sacred Gear can summon creatures/things; what summoned is according to expectations or whises; can bind or subdue what you summoned; and moreover being able to do unreasonable things like breaking through the space-time boundary because you can summon creatures/things from another world, then your Sacred Gear is definitely worthy of being called a Longinus!"

After hearing Governor Azazel's statement, I was completely dumbfounded!

Sacred Gear that allows to killing gods!? I never even imagined there was something like that before! And there are 13 Sacred Gears at that great!? And now there is one more added and that is my Sacred Gear!? This is really astonishing!

"Hmm.... If this Sacred Gear is considered a new Longinus, what is it called?"

While I was still quite dumbfounded, Mephisto-sama asked Governor Azazel.

Governor Azazel then looked silent and thought for a moment while holding his chin.

Before long, just as I calmed down enough from my previous shock, Governor Azazel gave a small nod as if he had reached his conclusion.

"Hm.... Since this Sacred Gear makes it possible to summon something from another world according to what the user wished and bond/subdued the summons, how about we call it.... <<Wishful Covenant Summoning of the Lost Records>> [Serene Summoning]."
