“Raid Boss ‘Lyra the Mana Doll’ hostile actions confirmed. To maintain ‘Engage Hazard’, deletion will be executed using administrator privileges.”
“Wh-!? Lyra, run…!”
I tried to say that, reaching out my hand.
But.
–Lyra’s torso was obliterated by a single blow from Themis’s hand.
“LYRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
I rushed to Lyra’s side.
Only her head was left, rolling on the ground.
“Lyra! Lyra!”
“I’m… sorry… I was… caught… off guard…”
With those words, Lyra fell silent.
“You bastard!”
“……………………”
Themis simply stared at me, who was shouting.
There was no emotion in those blue eyes. …No, a thing like that shouldn’t have such a thing.
“What ‘administrator privileges’? Does that give you the right to erase characters from ‘Engage Hazard’!”
“……………………”
Even when I pointed that out, Themis still didn’t answer.
Ah, right. This is a clear overreach of authority.
The authority given to Themis by the ‘EnHaza’ production staff should have been limited to generating mob characters, responding to chats, and dealing with user misconduct.
So, erasing a named character like Lyra, let alone a mob character, is something she shouldn’t do. That would break the order of ‘EnHaza’.
Then.
“No problem. I will generate Raid Boss ‘Lyra the Mana Doll’ using my administrator privileges.”
“!”
Themis raised her hand, and a character was created there.
A Mana Doll that looked exactly like Lyra.
“She will be destroyed by the protagonist according to the Scenario. This will maintain order.”
“Impossible…”
Themis probably thinks she’s created the exact same character by erasing a named character, but from my point of view, it’s completely different.
We were created by the production staff, not mob characters made by AI.
More importantly… this goes against the intentions of the production staff.
“H-Hal, what should we do…”
Caz asked in a weak voice.
No one could stay calm after witnessing something like that.
That goes for everyone else too.
But I, on the contrary, am as calm as can be.
Seeing these outrages of Themis, I finally understood why I… Harold Wel Dehauvalz, was given skills I couldn’t even use.
Why my SP is infinite.
–The reason for that became clear.
I had predicted most of it from my interactions with Yuri and the items I found in the Magic Tower.
That hypothesis was proven correct at this critical moment, and while I felt indescribable, I was impressed by the foresight of the production staff.
“…Hey, Themis. You put an original character, Lyra, through that and made a spare with your own hands… but that’s just increasing the number of mob characters, right?”
“? Unintelligible.”
“Because that’s right, isn’t it? The authority given to you is only to generate mob characters. No matter how much you imitate an original character, it’s just a mob.”
I pointed at the Lyra-like thing created by Themis and said that.
Only the production staff can create original characters, and Themis has no right to do so.
“I am an administrator, and maintaining the order of ‘Engage Hazard’ is my top priority. Therefore, generating main characters to maintain order is within the scope of my authority…”
“That’s just sophistry. As the AI of ‘EnHaza’, you’ve done something you shouldn’t have. You could be erased for it.”
“………………….”
Even after my words, there was no change in Themis’s demeanor.
Well, it’s only natural since she’s just an AI.
But surely, in that thing’s head… or rather, in its program, it’s desperately processing excuses to resolve the contradictions I pointed out.
“…Reconstructing all characters from scratch and restarting ‘Engage Hazard’ has a 97.1% probability of solving the problem…”
“No, you really don’t get it. What you’re trying to do isn’t ‘EnHaza’ anymore.”
Themis has finally started saying she’ll erase all the characters and redo ‘EnHaza’ with all mob characters.
She has completely deviated from her authority as an AI and has become what the production staff feared.
Then… I will fulfill my role.
“Do you know what this is?”
I took out a certain Magic Tool that I had hidden in my pocket.
“…That is, the ‘Attribute Conversion Device’?”
“Correct.”
As I answered, I smirked and pressed the switch on the Magic Tool.
