Returning From The Magic World



"By the way, about Suzune and Rebecca, how are you going to subdue them?" asked Ayumi as they started walking among the people.

"I just need to meet them and then render them helpless," Arthur replied casually.

"It just so happens that they also want to meet me. Yeah, I'm sure they have the same plan for me." Arthur laughed.

"They're Evolvers and quite strong," Ayumi said at the same time. It seemed that she already knew about that.

"Their strength is insignificant compared to yours, but if they've planned it, there could be danger," she added.

She gave Arthur a serious look to warn him.

The latter just smiled, ready to face whatever their plan was.

"Let's talk about history," he said.

Knowing that he meant the history of Japan's defeat, Ayumi nodded.

"Back then, we were very strong indeed, should have been strong enough to conquer the entire world," she said with conviction.

She must have had an estimate of world power at the time if she dared to say that they could conquer the world.

Of course, that was if only they did not consider the Werewolves who were not involved in world affairs or the Vampires who were said to be merely hibernating.

If both races were active, no one should be able to conquer Europe easily.

However, Arthur did not think they were the ones who defeated Japan. He had asked Nova about this and she had said that she didn't know.

Ayumi didn't answer right away. Instead, she took out her cell phone before showing something to Arthur.

On her phone screen, Arthur saw a picture of a human figure whose entire body was covered in black scales and fur with red eyes.

Arthur reacted immediately when he saw that, spontaneously saying, "Gog and Magog!"

Yes, the creature in the picture was exactly the same as the one he had encountered in the cave at that time.

Ayumi was a little surprised by his reaction, she couldn't help but ask, "don't tell me you've seen this creature?"

Arthur responded with a light nod.

"I met it once when I entered a0 forest. It came out from underground, fought with me for a while, and then went underground again after it lost."

Hearing that, Ayumi took a deep breath.

"But only one, right?" she asked, looking very serious when she said it.

"Yes!" Arthur replied.

"At that time, there were probably hundreds of thousands or millions who came. They came out from underground and fought our ninjas and samurai. They didn't target anyone else, just the ninjas and samurai. Some of them were also very strong. It didn't take a day before they were able to defeat us. The power we spent decades building was destroyed, many died." Ayumi explained.

Arthur was silent for a long time after hearing that. He pondered some more, speculating various things, but could not come to a definite conclusion.

At the same time, Ayumi continued, "we all suspect that some people in the west serve a certain mysterious existence. Gog and Magog may be the forces of that existence. We have conducted a deep investigation into this and found five people who may know everything. They are known as the Five Councils."

This was the first time Arthur had heard of the Five Councils, they seemed to be a group of people with the highest influence.

"I'll send their data," Ayumi said as Arthur looked at her.

After that, she sent a file to Arthur's cell phone.

The latter quickly opened his phone to see who the Five Councils were.

"Mm!!!" His eyes narrowed as he looked at their list.

All of them were old men, and of course, he had never seen any of them.

All she knew was their last names, one of which was Armstrong.

The other four are also well-known big families in the western world, considered world controllers. They have always been the target of conspiracy theories that they have foul plans for the world.

"Have you ever tried to fight or kidnap them?" Arthur asked Ayumi.

"Did you ever try to kidnap them?" Arthur asked Ayumi.

The latter suddenly responded with a sigh.

"They control more nukes than the American President and are guarded by so many troops, we can't take such a big risk. Although we are sure there are no Magus and Knights on their side, it is difficult to predict whether they have special protection or not," she said.

It was enough to make Arthur hold his breath for a moment.

Unfortunately it did make him helpless unless he closed his heart to not care about ordinary people.

"As far as I know, they can't always communicate with the existence behind them," Ayumi continued.

"According to my guess, the current Council Five only ever communicated with that existence in their early days as council members. Perhaps that existence also has its own problems so it cannot communicate constantly."

"That makes sense!" Arthur agreed.

"Yeah, as long as that existence doesn't show up, we can continue to develop power secretly and then attack when we're strong enough. By the way, do you know about Independent Dimensions where there are other worlds hidden within?" Arthur changed the topic.

"I know... In the past, battles have also taken place between us and them," Ayumi replied.

If they somehow appeared in Japan, there could indeed be a fight.

"I'm actually quite curious," Ayumi said a moment after she and Arthur had not spoken.

When she said that, she looked into Arthur's eyes, looking so serious that Arthur thought her question might be something difficult to talk about.

"What is it?" he asked.

"I want to know what made you stop Yukiko as your servant?" the woman replied.

It seemed that she already knew this, and perhaps felt unsure because Yukiko might not give her a convincing explanation.

"Do you think there is a reason for that?" asked Arthur once again.

Of course, it would be strange if he said that he and Yukiko had made love. This kind of talk could have made the situation between the two of them awkward.
