THE DEVIL RELIES ON OTHERS FOR THE FUTURE

West of Phiyenci, main city of the Northern Island, there was a sacred mountain known as Mt. Figo. Phiyenci itself was built on high land, but Mt. Figo towered over it, looking down upon the city. When Chiho and Ashiya invited Kisaki and the MgRonald hourly crew over to Ente Isla, they chose a flat plain about halfway up this hallowed peak.

Three days had passed since the night Maou had found himself utterly flummoxed by Emi’s “deceitful” act. Albert Ende and Dhin Dhem Wurs were outside together, looking up at the night sky. The two moons were already far closer to each other than anyone in Ente Isla would ever believe—and the satellites themselves were also starting to look smaller.

“Son of Ranga, have the moons ever struck fear into your heart?”

“What kinda question is that? I’m not sure what you mean.”

“Well, when I was young, there was a bit of a drought in my clan’s pastures. We had to move our stock out, and we didn’t have enough people, so young me was asked to chase sheep and goats around as well…and, you know, I noticed something. It felt like, during the daytime, the moons were chasing me the whole time.”

“Oh, that sort of thing? Yeah, I can understand that.”

It was something any youngster might have experienced—the sun and moon in the sky constantly staying a set distance away from you, no matter how much you ran away from them.

“And now that Devil King’s gone and moved the moon, hasn’t he? Boy, am I glad I stuck around long enough to see this!”

“I can’t say I agree with you on that.”

“So what do you think, then? Is this gonna have any impact on us?”

“Man, it’s freezing. Do we really need to talk about that here?”

“Who’s to say how much time I have left in this world, eh, boy? Be a good lad and humor an old woman during her camping trip.”

“I’d be shocked if you ever did die, you know. Siiiigh…”

They were on opposite sides of a campfire, the old woman clad in thick layers. Albert eyed her as he listened to their transport goats bleating.

“Well, apparently, we’re seeing almost none of the tide changes that Eme and Alciel were afraid of. I’m hearing stories here and there about how the sea currents are clearly changing around the Central Continent, though.”

“Hmm. Scary. Simple enough to put into words, but if it’s changing ocean currents, that’s some serious stuff.”

“That it is. The work of God and all that.”

“And that ‘God’ still isn’t doing anything? You don’t think she’s dead already, do ya?”

“Gods dying, huh?” Albert laughed as he prodded the fire. “Yeah, well, the world’s been pretty quiet since the red moon went on the move. Y’know how they’ve been planning the rebuilding of Wezu Quartus alongside the Crusade, to help commemorate Bell’s ordination? Thanks to that, the Central Continent’s got enough people and resources to handle most of the crises they run into. You just never know what life’s gonna serve up to ya, is what I keep hearing from people.
