Suzuki is Cute Even In A Savage World-Chapter 8.5: World Saviour (5)

Marguerite did not answer but instead signaled one of her subordinate soldiers with her chin.

"Read out the sacred scriptures."

A male soldier unraveled a scroll. And then he read out the contents out loud in a clear voice.

"'The hero of salvation who was sent into the world before was not the true hero, but an impostor...'"

"An impostor, you mean ME!?"

Takashi shouted again. The reading was interrupted, and Marguerite cleared her throat.

"Please listen calmly. Lord Impostor... No, Lord Suzuki"

"What the hell? What do you mean by Lord IMPOSTOR!!"

"L-Lord Hero! Stay calm!"

"U-Uh-huh! Let's hear what they have to say first!"

After being pacified by Excella and Orneo, Takashi reluctantly decided to remain silent and listened to what the so-called sacred scriptures had to say.

"'According to Divine Regulations, another hero cannot be sent from another dimension. But God, in His mercy, will not forsake your world. We bestow the heavenly sword and the heavenly power upon a vessel that inhabits this earth to serve as your savior.'"

(Heavenly Sword and Heavenly Power...? What the hell...?)

"'The heavenly sword is for Tartanin in the eastern lands. The heavenly power is for Zhaviest, who dwells in the West. The world shall once again be led to peace through the work of the true saviours who possess the power of God."'

The soldier rolled up the scroll, bowed, and stepped back after finishing his task.

"What a...!"

Orneo, who had been smiling earlier, now muttered with a serious expression on his face. Excella was also speechless. 𝒷ℯ𝒹𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝓶

Takashi tried to process in his mind what he had just heard.

Perhaps that goddess realized she had made a mistake with the two people, Sasaki and Suzuki, after reincarnating them into another world. If that is the case, Sasaki or someone with equivalent power should be reincarnated into this world again, but divine regulations only allow one reincarnated person per world.

Therefore, she had no choice but to bestow to talented individuals living in this world the ability to save the world, namely, the "Heavenly Sword" and the "Heavenly Power" as a measure to amend the lack of strength of Takashi, the reincarnated person in this world.

(But that doesn't mean I'm an impostor!! I mean, God is probably that goddess who sent me to this other world, right!? If that's the case, then she's the ONE to blame!! It's not my fault I was sent here by mistake!!)

Takashi wasn't sure if it was that goddess who gave the divine decree or not. However, he had a hunch that this was the case, and that thought made him angry. Marguerite turned her sharp eyes on Takashi and the others.

"The saviour of the world, the bearer of the Heavenly Sword, the master Swordsman Lord Tartanin, is steadily making preparations to retake the Imperial Capital. As part of those preparations, we, the Salvation Crusaders, have been entrusted with this operation, namely, the task of subduing the Thunder-Lance Charge."

"Um, Ms. Marguerite. You said you saw Master Leelou's letter, right? What did Master say?"

After a slight hesitation, Marguerite said, "She said she was willing to leave this land in Suzuki's hands."

"I-If so!"

"Nevertheless, Lord Tartanin sent us here because he wanted to save the world as soon as possible. Working together with Lord Suzuki's power to restore human society------that would be the best course of action."

"You're going to join forces with my power?" Takashi asked at the unexpected statement.

"Of course, we must work together to kill all of the Thunder-Lance Charge demons."

Takashi was astonished at Marguerite's nonchalant remark.

"Wa-Wait a minute please! That's ridiculous!"

Excella also spoke out in support of Takashi.

"T-That's right! Lord Suzuki is also already working on a plan to save Leirune!"

Marguerite raised an eyebrow at Excella's words.

"Hou. What kind of plan is it?"
