The Bud of Rebellious Phase(Side: Ares)

――Celestial Palace, Goeting Room of Ares Palace

In the office located in the Goeting room of Ares palace, there was a secret investigation about that fly-headed monster from way back.

The reason why it was done in secret was simply because Ares' grandfather, Deus had put a gag order to prevent his grandson from directly getting involved in the matter of current Lemuria. Thus, Ares had literally broken the taboo.

Naturally, Ares was well aware of the fact that they were no match for that existence. It was something that forced even the strongest god, Deus to move in person after all. Meaning that the mobilization of the heavenly army was only a matter of time. It was already beyond the authority of Ares, a mere high-rank god.

Nevertheless―― For Ares, the fly-headed aberration was the hated enemy who toyed around with their important subordinates' life.

「Next is, inside that huh.」

The place was a dome-shaped, transparent membrane that covered the entire land of North Grand, which was located on the north of the East End of Amelia kingdom. It was purely by chance that Ares noticed that membrane. The reason is them investigating the entire land of Lemuria to get more info about the fly-headed aberration.

That membrane seems to isolate everything inside from the outside world, while at the same time reflecting the scenery inside. No, this membrane doesn't seems to be such a simple structure. Because when I tried to use appraisal on that membrane, it actually canceled my appraisal. Meaning that I can't do anything but watch what transpired inside.

The reason why there's no report from the heavenly army was also because of that membrane. Naturally, I wouldn't go as far as taking the heavenly army's job to subjugate that fly-headed monster. But I can't just sit around doing nothing.

That's why――

「Ramiel, I'll leave this matter to you!」

「Yes!」

The girl with a pair of pure white wings on her back, kneeling down before Ares, replied with a strong tone.

Honestly speaking, Ares wanted to visit Lemuria on their own. But as someone who had already become a high-rank god. They were bound by law even in the material world under their management. Basically, they couldn't investigate on their own.

Moreover, I couldn't afford to let the heavenly army and Deus-sama to know about my secret investigation. That's why I have no choice but to let her who specialized in the investigation to do this job. Naturally, I shouldn't entrust this kind of investigation with the highest level of danger involved in sneaking into the unknown enemy's territory shouldn't be entrusted to such inexperienced girl.

「Now listen carefully. This investigation is really dangerous. If you feel something amiss, you have to return immediately.」

Even when Ares reminded her of her priority in this matter,

「Yes! I'll accomplish my duty at all costs!!」

Ramiel said that she would fulfill Ares' expectations instead.

「You seem to have misread my intention, let me tell you again, please abandon your duty and return immediately the moment you feel something amiss. This is an order!」

「Yes!」

Maybe because she was so delighted being relied upon, Ramiel's figure vanished from Goeting room with a delighted look on her face as soon as she said that.

「I'm such a coward.」

This should be my personal grudge. And yet, I still tasked such dangerous duty to my subordinate even after knowing the risk. Especially when the enemy is something that forced Deus-sama to mobilize the heavenly army. Originally, waiting for news from a safe place while my subordinate risked her life isn't something that I can do as a god. And yet――

「I can't forgive such cowardice! As if I can do something as cowardice as this!」

This was what they really felt, the true feelings of their own situation.

Just remembering that fact almost drove Ares to commit suicide. Such strong desire was budding in Ares' mind. And the one who planted such seed in Ares's mind was none other than the fly-headed monster and their master, a mysterious god called 『Supreme Ruler』.

「This debt will be paid in full!」

Ares clenched theor fist while muttering such words, clearly determined.
