Chapter 223: Error in the Plot
Chapter 223: Error in the Plot
When we were entering the new world I realized a problem, my system did not open the option to contact the Will of the World of this place...
Due to the system, I can contact the Will of the World every time I come to a new world, because of this I can directly negotiate with a world even if there are Higher Entities in said world.
What's worse, the magical energy nearly broke our connection with Gaia which would mean we won't be able to return to our world even if we complete the save the world mission, luckily I have Gaia's coordinates stored so I can return on my own.
Since System Goddess detected traces of the holy energy of Paradise then this world must belong to one of the two factions so it is possible that the World Will Authority had been stolen by a Higher Entity, the other option is that the Will of the World is the sentient type and decided to go into hiding for some unknown reason.
[System Notification: An attempt has been made to impose magic power on the user's body. The skill 'Mythomania' has faked the assimilation of a magical system based on experience and levels. User is now level 1 with Chef job]
[Chef: Where is my apron?
The following skills are attached:
- Food: Enhances the taste of food
- Beverage: Enhances the flavor of beverages
- Ingredient identification: Identify cooking ingredients]
"Hey Listen! Bitch make me a sandwich!"
… Damn asshole…
[System Notification: A requirement to obtain the 'Sekai Saikyou Shokugyou Arifureta Shokugyou' plot armor has been met: Obtain a weak job that generates taunts.
Stolen plot armor: 2%]
…This is so stupid that I don't even have a sarcastic comment…
As soon as we got to the new world I sent a message to Seraph along with my coordinates asking if this world belongs to the idealist faction or the racist faction.
Seraph didn't reply right away so she must be busy. For now, I'll try to take things easy to see what happens.
[System Notification: No new Will of the World quests have been registered. The invocation has been classified as unnecessary. The skill 'Hero's Destiny' gives the option to return to Gaia]
This is disappointing.
[Hero's Destiny] allows me to return to Gaia, but if I want to bring my wives and other students back then I'll have to bring them to my personal worlds which would cause me trouble explaining how I returned to Gaia on my own.
Another option is to find a way to create a Dimensional Bridge to Gaia, although that will take a lot of time and resources.
Finally, just wait for Seraph's response to have options.
Once the light disappeared I noticed that we were in what appeared to be a throne room in a castle.
Apparently, the ritual summoned two classrooms, the group of the girl named Shizuku Yaegashi and my group.
"What's going on?!" – Some students had the natural reaction of someone who is suddenly kidnapped.
Reactions ranged from confusion to the unexpected, fear of the unknown, excitement at the idea of a magical world, and anxiety at the change of environment, but among the different reactions of students, there was a small group that had a more violent reaction.
Tsugumi stepped in front of Chitoge as she drew a pistol to aim at the knights around us.
Honda took out a kusarigama (chain sickle) to protect Marika. The interesting thing is that she is a true elite of the Tachibana family since I can feel that there is elemental and spiritual energy in her body, something appropriate for a ninja.
Shion and Rena took out knives while looking around with killing intent.
Mion pulled out two pistols and if it wasn't for my warning look, she would have started shooting.
Crazy redhead Akane pulled out two knives and her attitude changed to absolute calm showing that she was trained by professional assassins.
"W-Where are we?" - Nana grabbed my arm nervously.
If it wasn't for Akane seeming to have adopted the mindset of a professional killer, she would have tried to stab Nana for this action.
I didn't have time to speak as one knight was enraged sensing the girls' killing intent so he drew his sword and approached Shion.
"How dare you show such an attitude in front of the eminence Lombard!?" – The knight was furious, but he had no killing intent so he won't kill Shion, maybe he just wants to hit her a few times.
"Onii-chan, my suggestion is that you be an impulsive protagonist so that your personality is opposite to Seiji" - Arisa spoke with emotion, she is enjoying the show.
I think the same, besides, it's annoying that someone threatens my wife and I have a lot of stress that I have to vent...
I let go of Nana's grip and used a force comparable to Tsugumi to get in front of the knight.
The knight raised an eyebrow, but before he could speak I used the back of my right hand to knock the back of the sword away from me, then used the tips of my left-hand fingers to hit the connecting point between the joints of the hand that held the sword.
Although the knight was wearing thick leather gloves, the unexpected movement caused him to lose his grip on the sword.
When the sword fell from his hands, I grabbed the sword with my right hand while my left foot kicked the idiot's crotch.
The knight was pushed back two meters away causing the other knights and what looked like members of the church to widen their eyes in fury and disbelief.
"It's rude to threaten another man's wife" - I sighed audibly as my posture changed to Kosaka Style in case some other idiot wants to fight.
The knights seemed to want to draw their swords, but an old man dressed as a religious leader raised his hand making the knights stop.
"Very impressive, heroes cannot be underestimated" - The old man made a respectful bow, but it's quite an act, I recognize a manipulating bastard at first sight.
I maintained my posture without replying, but the old man kept a calm expression despite feeling contempt for my actions.
"Chosen heroes, welcome to Tortus" - The old man spoke respectfully. – "I am the Pope of the Church of the Saints, Ishtar Lombard… Please do not panic, we have prepared an adequate space to explain the situation to you, noble heroes"
There was subtle holy energy coming out of the old man, this energy had healing and relaxing properties to lessen people's anxiety, but it only had an effect on normal people and was ineffective on people who know the importance of staying on their guard during unknown situations.
These methods remind me of those used by the racist faction... Interesting.
"Luis, let's listen to him for now, we need to know what's going on…" – Tsugumi spoke calmly while she made sure to analyze possible escape routes.
I narrowed my eyes and lowered the sword. – "Please explain where we are and why we are here"
"If you could accompany me I would appreciate it" - The old man walked towards the door.
I nodded toward Tsugumi and the other girls.
Even though I only met Shion, Mion, and Rena for a week, we know each other too well so they understood my gesture. They put away their weapons but kept alert in case of an ambush.
Only Akane and Honda kept their weapons. Honda only thinks about protecting Marika while Akane doesn't seem to be right in the head, but at least she seems to be able to control her own murderous instincts.
I stared at Akane forcing her to lessen her desire to kill her while a boy from the other group smiled like a reliable protagonist giving encouragement to his classmates.
"Let's see what happens" – The boy was the definition of a protagonist.
[Name: Kouki Amanogawa
Origin: Arifureta Shokugyou from Sekai Saikyou
Categories: Man. Secondary character. Isekai. Protagonist (Reader's Madness has detected a plot error: This character should not be a protagonist)]
The problems have already started...
Now I have to look for the original protagonist.
"Onii-chan, lately the isekai series reflect the fantasies of men frustrated with life so the protagonist should be the most pathetic boy with the worst skill" - Arisa spoke after seeing the information.
The old man took us to a large room with enough seats for all of us and started to explain the situation, but since it was stupid I just pretended to pay attention while using [Character Token] on each person that was summoned.
The entire group of the false protagonist belonged to the same series, which was very strange since the old man also belonged to that series.
While it is possible that this entire group was predestined to travel to this world, there are two big problems.
To begin with, this could only happen with Alaya's approval so the question is; What does Alaya gain from this?
Secondly, and the most problematic is that the interference of a Higher Entity always has repercussions in the Plot, so if the whole group was summoned to this world despite the fact that this world belongs to Paradise, it can only mean that there is a plan to use these students for something troublesome.
I finally found the protagonist of this story and sure enough it was as Arisa said, the protagonist was a boy named Hajime Nagumo, but the problem is that boy is sharing his plot armor with Kouki Amanogawa...
[System Notification: The 'Reader's Madness' energy has detected a plot error. Two protagonists share a single plot armor]
I think now I understand...
"..." - Arisa sighed. – "Having an otaku protagonist means that the riajuu will be overshadowed by the protagonist, but if both are protagonists then the otaku will be left in the shadow… Damn riajuus, they should explode"
[Hero's Destiny] didn't react to that guy so he's not a system user which means a Higher Entity caused this.
"Luis" – System Goddess frowned. – "I can only guess since I have not analyzed the soul of that boy, but I believe that a Higher Entity discovered the plot of this story so it changed the plot to create a powerful and loyal hero"
I nodded internally. – "If the strong boy stands out more than the weak boy then he will be the new protagonist and seeing his attitude, he seems like an idealistic idiot easy to manipulate"
"Now the favor of the heavens is divided into three parts" – System Goddess was referring to the plot armor. – "If you can identify the important factors of destiny, you can steal the favor of the heavens without killing the other two chosen ones, my recommendation is not to kill both chosen ones of the heavens since they were chosen for a reason"
If that's true then they are important tools for a larger purpose, on the other hand, we will be three protagonists competing to see who is the first to get all the plot armor... How troublesome.
"That sounds like the plot of a fanfic where a secondary character steps out of his role and competes with the original protagonist to obtain the power of the plot armor" - Arisa spoke in amazement.
"If we break things down, fanfics are stories generated by the intervention of Higher Entities" – BB shrugged. – "Giving powers to an idiot and seeing him be an idiot is entertaining, it is like seeing a hamster handling a machine gun"
I sighed internally. – "Have you ever done something like that?"
"Yup~" – BB showed a big smile. – "I made a little joke where a secondary character seduced the harem of a protagonist, when the protagonist saw the secondary character having sex with his harem they both began to fight until the world could not bear the destruction of the plot so everyone world was destroyed… So nostalgic~"
… Somehow I'm not surprised.
"Luis, this woman is a living calamity" - System Goddess moved away from BB. – "It is not too late for you to devour her soul…"
"How cruel *totally real crying face* I just want to live with my beloved senpai while doing some harmless little pranks!" – BB pretended to cry with a pitiful expression. – "Senpai tell this evil woman that you would never harm your pretty kohai!"
I sighed internally and turned my attention back to the talk with the church elder.
"SENPAAAAAAAI!"
…
A small woman screamed as she slammed the table and stood up. - "What are you saying?! This is the worst prank I've ever seen! Do you have permission for this?! If you don't have it, I'll sue you for kidnapping us!"
This woman is Aiko Hayatama the teacher from the other classroom and a secondary heroine tied to the Arifureta plot.
She believes this to be an elaborate prank and therefore acts indignantly as she sincerely cares about the students' well-being.
It seems that she is popular among the students since even some students in my classroom supported her.
As the students who saw this as a joke made noise, the false protagonist, Kouki Amanogawa, approached the old man. – "Ishtar-san, can I ask something?"
"Yes, of course" - The old man nodded.
"You said that humans are at war with demons… Are there other races in this world?" – The boy asked seriously.
Oh god, he's an idiot who thinks humans are the good guys and non-humans are the bad guys...
He will surely accept this stupidity and convince the students to fight a pointless war to protect an unknown world even if it leads to their death...
Damn protagonists with a hero complex.
The old man mentioned that the three main races of this world are humans, demons and demi-humans showing that in this world there is also racism between races since the old man included different races among the demi-humans even though elves and beastkin are different races.
The old man spoke irrelevant things as he showed us the outside of the castle where there was a wide forest that reached the distant mountains.
The difference between the geography of this place compared to Japan made the students and the teacher finally accept that we are in another world.
Some students were anxious, and some were excited, as for me, I have high expectations in this place, I just have to find an opportunity to separate myself from the group to search for magical resources and women.
Although I can't use my main skills to prevent my identity as Seiji from being discovered, just with my martial arts I can already be ranked at the destructive level of a country.
If the worst comes to pass, I'll follow BB's plan, send a friendly message to 'The Creeping Chaos'.
I smiled internally, it's nice not to listen to stupid school dramas anymore.
