Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai-Chapter 247.1 - Takanashi Kotori

I was inside a pure white space.

Honestly, I thought that I———— Takanashi Kotori was dead.

Then, I heaved a sigh of relief knowing that it wasn't hell. It seems that committing a few indirect murders was far from enough for someone to be sent to hell.

『… Sup.』

Suddenly, I heard a mysterious voice.

More like the voice seemed to resound directly in my head, a strange sensation that should be impossible in reality, but I somehow understood that it was possible in this space.

Meaning that there was no way Enma's Judgement was going to fall on me.

『… Wake up.』

As if the tuning of the radio had finally matched, now I could hear that voice really clearly.

It was the voice of a young woman. fгeewebnovёl.com

I've never heard that voice before, I'm sure of it.

『Wake up, O chosen child of wisdom.』

[TN: "Child of wisdom" LMAO]

She spoke in an exaggerated way. I was just a slightly wise girl, I wouldn't go as far as call it wisdom.

I'm not wise. The humans of this world are just too stupid.

『Currently, the world is once again on the verge of being enveloped by darkness.』

Whether now or in the past, the world has always been overflowing with chaos and evil. Has there ever been even a moment of peace recorded in history? In every era, conflict has always arisen between humans in one place or another.

However, Kotori then recalled again that this place was not the Earth.

Yes, after the classroom collapsed, my overly enthusiastic, self-proclaimed best friend, Asuna, hugged me tightly and together, we plunged into the darkness———— And by the time I woke up, I had already been inside this white space. ŕ𝔞Ｎо₿Ёṩ

At least, I've confirmed that the darkness beneath the collapsing classroom was another dimension altogether. Meaning that since I'd fallen into it, my body was no longer on the Earth.

In that case, the one who spoke directly in my head was most probably the existence called 『God』 in another world.

『Use your brilliant mind to illuminate the darkness.』

At that moment, I felt as if———— My head was split open.

I screamed "GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" inside, whether there was actually a sound or not was not my problem.

However, my head, my brain, was jolted, quite literally.

A vast amount of something, formless, yet something that I can understand…Information.

Yes, this was information

A vast amount of information was poured directly into my brain. I literally connected directly… With god, or should I say, the divine will… Via telepathy.

「A… AAA… I-I see…」

Slowly, as I was starting to understand, enlightenment dawned upon me, the pain receded, replaced with laughter.

I see, I see now.

「Hahahahaha… I, Kotori, is…」

The world.

The vocation.

The magic.

The enemy.

Even———— The god.

「Kotori is chosen.」

Miraculous talent. The destined aptitude.

Those who connect with the record (divine will) would gain every single wisdom in this world.

『Thou, shalt guide the hero———— As the 『Sage』.』

I understood everything.

What was gonna happen after this? And what I had to do.

Thus, my answer had already been decided.

「————Yes, as the Goddess Elysion wills.」

===

Thus, Takanashi Kotori started the dungeon capture as the only one among the members of Class 2-7 who knew the inside-out of the dungeon and all of its functions.

Since she was special there was no need for her to do anything in particular.

She just needed to act oblivious like everyone else, and there would be no problem. All according to the script written by Goddess Elysion.

However, the script written by the goddess started to go awry slowly, but surely.

At this rate, the 『Hero』 wouldn't be completed as the god desired.

That's why she manipulated the event slowly behind the scenes.

It was a perfect plan. And her 『Sage』 skill made it possible.

And yet———— How did this happen?

Takanashi Kotori barely managed to swallow the scream-filled curse back into her throat.

「Dammit, Momokawa got away…」

Souma Yuuto muttered in vexation with the sword of light in one hand.

The glowing teleportation circle had slowly lost its glow after sending the people standing on top of it to another place and now returned as a mere entrance floor.

「Oi, ain't we basically gonna get screwed by Momokawa?」

「That guy's definitely going to get his revenge.」

「Well, since it's Momokawa we're talking about… Ain't we gonna get killed by his curse?」

The shaking voice of the Totem Pole Trio had only made me even more irritated.

How did this happen?

「… Kotori.」

And then, I was called.

Though fuming with anger, I turned around and put on an appearance of someone who was purely trembling in fear as I replied to Class Rep.

「I-Is something the matter, Class Rep?」

「Momokawa-kun said that you're the culprit, though.」

「So cruel. Are you doubting me!?」

Why you have such a horrible misunderstanding, unbelievable,it hurts my heart———— Kotori was crying as if to say that.

Crocodile tears were the basic yet most effective weapon for a woman. And it was also Kotori's best weapon. I'd used this method for a long time.

「Ryouko, you're not buying what Momokawa said, right?」

「That's right, Class Rep, why are you buying that guy's lie!」

My feeble, sympathy-inducing act instantly summoned a knight who would protect me.

Asuna and Sakura raised their voices immediately, standing in front of Kotori to protect her from Class Rep.

「I understand your anger, but I ask you two to calm down first.」

「Stop it, Ryouko. After everything that's happened, you'll be in a dangerous situation if you're siding with that man.」

「Fueeee… Why do you not trust me…」

I'd never thought that acting as a pitiful crybaby was foolish. It was hesitation and shame that cast doubt to the act.

Though my face was a sobby mess, my heart was calm and composed.

「I also wanted to believe in Takanashi-san. That's why there's one thing that I needed to confirm————」

—With a determined gaze behind her glasses, Ryouko pushed Sakura aside, and stood in front of the sobbing Kotori.

「————I want to check if you really prepared the antidote.」

Curse you, Momokawa and your blabbering mouth.

My anger flared in my heart, which calmed down for the sake of putting on a pitiful girl's persona.

However, that anger only lasted for a second and calmed down again. It's okay, there was no problem.

Rather, it was thanks to Momokawa saying that I could prove my innocence that the request from Class Rep was a windfall.

「U-uh… G-Got it, Class Rep…」

After crying a lot, Kotori, who had calmed down, finally allowed Class Rep to do a body search.

The antidote was inside a small potion bottle.

I deliberately created a standard potion bottle and adjusted its size so that it could be concealed this easily.

「Okay then Takanashi-san, I'll start now.」
