Rogue Prince – Chapter 269

“Just give up on everything, abandon Sandra-san too, and let’s be together in this world.”
“Eh!?”

The moment Yuri said that, I jumped back as if repelled.
Why, you ask? It’s obvious.

For the first time, I felt fear towards him.

Those eyes, having given up on everything, filled with a deep darkness.
And yet, that endless obsession of his, still seeking me, a person named Hal.

“Hey, do you know? That this world was created by God (Placeholder).”

Yuri chuckled and began to speak.

It’s only been four hundred years since this world was created by God (Placeholder).
Even the Norse Empire, the country that existed before the Dehauvalz Kingdom you know, only has a history of a hundred years.

Moreover, the Norse Empire was there (……) from the very beginning (……), and humans, as if they had always existed there, were complete with men and women of all ages at the world’s beginning.

Of course, they even have memories of their childhood, you know?
Even though such a past doesn’t exist in the world.

So, what I’m trying to say is that God (Placeholder) is so powerful that he can make even that possible, and Hal-kun, who is just a character in a story, can’t possibly stand against him.

Well, I admit that the existence of Sandra-san and Monica-san was unexpected. Even God (Placeholder) is troubled by the strength of those two.

I mean… Sandra-san was originally destined to have her engagement with Hal-kun broken off and be executed in despair, right? As for Monica-san, she doesn’t even appear in the story in the first place.
That’s why God (Placeholder) never imagined that the two of them would possess such abilities, and he’s desperately trying to eliminate them from this story.

That’s why he gave Aival-kun all the strongest weapons in this world and took you away from that place.

Ah♪ Don’t make such an angry face.
But Sandra-san’s ability, Dragon’s Favor, only manifests its power when you are present.

Now that you are not in that place (……..), the only future left for her is to eventually lose her power and be defeated by Aival-kun.

As for Monica-san… well, as you know, she originally has Norse People blood in her veins.
Since she is ultimately an existence created by God (Placeholder), God (Placeholder) holds the power of life and death over her. There’s nothing we can do about it.

So, you see?

“Hal-kun, let’s live together here. God (Placeholder) has agreed to let me be with you if you just leave that world (……..) as you are.”
“………………….”

Yuri’s expression, as he spoke gleefully, his eyes, were broken.
I don’t know what that God (Placeholder) has instilled in him, but I understood well that he was being driven to the point where he had to make such a choice.

But, God (Placeholder), huh…?
In my previous life, I knew that the world called “Engage Hazard” was created and produced by a single company.

If you think about it that way, God (Placeholder) would be the production staff, but even so, would they go so far as to interfere with this world? The answer is no.
If the source of all this is the work of the production staff, then that staff member must have been reincarnated into this world just like me, but I don’t think it’s possible to deliberately reincarnate as God (Placeholder).

Then… there’s another being who’s arbitrarily calling himself God (Placeholder).

“…Hey, Yuri.”
“Ah♪ What is it?”
“Does that God (Placeholder) have a name?”
“A name? Yes, he does.”

Yuri chuckled, perhaps amused by my question.
But if he has a name, then there’s a possibility that one of the production staff has been reincarnated into this world. That would be quite troublesome.

Because he would know “EnHaza” better than me, who was a heavy user in my previous life… no, better than anyone in the world, including my previous life.
Moreover, he possesses the ability to grant all UR weapons and create the people of this world, including Yuri. It’s beyond cheating.

Haa… I sigh, but that doesn’t mean I have the option to give up.
That’s why I have to find a way out, no matter what.

“So… what’s the name of that God (Placeholder)…?”
“Ah♪ He’s called ‘The Person Inside’.”

As he said that, Yuri raised the corner of his mouth.
