"Oh, I am surprised you aren't pulling them out immediately."

A True God whose disciple was in the group facing battle spoke.

"If I were to put them out immediately after seeing an enemy, this competition would be useless. Moreover, if I pull them back now, the war will start right away. Their identities are unknown right now, but if I teleport them out openly, the rebels will know that I did it. After all, it is a Sealed Universe."

If Yale wanted to bring someone out without alerting the enemies, the choices were that all the enemies died at the end of the battle or that he pulled them off, making the enemies think that they were dead.

Although if the disciples killed their opponents, the rebels might also notice something, at least there wouldn't be any clear proof that it was related to the Council of Gods.

The war would start before they had time to investigate, and by what Yale knew, it was probable that their deaths weren't even investigated at all in the case they were killed.

"I hope that you don't let them die."

Both groups were more or less equal in strength, so it couldn't be said that the disciples were in lethal danger, but the situation wasn't safe either.

"I am not to blame if they die. If I can save them without harming the whole Council of Gods, I will do it, but if saving them implies negative effects for us, you can't blame me."

Although everyone considered that Yale was a bastard who only cared about obtaining power by how the events developed, he wanted to do the best possible for the Council of Gods. Of course, using the Council of Gods was on his plans, so he didn't want to sacrifice it for a stupid decision

As for the lives of those disciples, he would only save them if it didn't harm his interests.

He would only discard the well-being of the Council of Gods if some of his allies were involved, but it would also depend on who was in danger.

Yale had always been someone who considered that each life had a different value, a subjective one that was different for each person, but that was all he needed, it didn't matter if the value was just his biased opinion. For Yale, saving Wyba or Shiba was worthy of destroying the Council of Gods if there was the need, but he would rather let the battling group of disciples die than harming the Council of Gods with a sudden start of the war for saving them.

If the person in danger was deeply related Yale, he wouldn't care about anything else, but if it was one of those allies he barely knew, the degree of interference to save them would be far more limited.

Yale stopped paying attention to the group battling and focused his attention on the incarnation hidden in Shiba's shadow.

"Yale sent us to an overly peaceful place. There is literally nothing here. I don't want a deadly situation, but this is too boring."

Shiba's group had been walking for a while, but they hadn't discovered anything of value nor meet someone else. Thus, Eini had started complaining to her husband.

"Don't be reckless. Master said that this place has valuable information, so it must be true, but how can it be easy to discover."

Shiba didn't doubt that since Yale said that there was valuable information there, there was important information somewhere.

"Why do I have the feeling that my mother is complaining because she liked to see my father's serious reactions?"

Bashi muttered unconsciously.

He hadn't felt well traveling in that group because his parents were there. He wouldn't mind if it was just the three of them, but there were others in the group.

He knew Wyba and Lilly enough to not mind about them, but he wasn't too familiar with other members of Yale's family like Astel or Kanai. As for the rest, Bashi at most heard someone speak about them.

If his parents weren't there, then it would be alright to be with people he didn't know, but not only his parents were there, their influence in the group was among the highest.

"Because she is doing it on purpose. Don't tell me that you never exaggerated an injury a bit when you were a child to have big sister Ange pay you more attention because I saw you do it a lot of times. It is the same. Your mother just wants the attention of your father, who is overfocused on the mission, and since they had been busy training and didn't have that much time together before, she must be wanting to at least spent time speaking with him."

Bashi never exaggerated his injuries despite what Lily thought. He was still a kid at that time, and he really believed that his injuries were far worse than what they were, but to Lily, he seemed to want to attract Ange's attention.

In fact, Bashi was just too pure when it came to relationships. He didn't understand them at all. Even what he felt at Ange was just an illusion he formed since he was a child. He really loved her, but it wasn't a kind of romantic love. It was just as Ange thought a lot of times, he was just a child in that aspect so he couldn't be treated seriously.

Bashi couldn't be blamed for his lack of maturity in that aspect since he had never been living on his own. In Alrein's universe, no matter where he went, everyone was just too weak for him, so he ended up spending time with people of the family such as Ange and Lily.

Even when he departed to travel, for safety measured, he had been traveling with Lily, so it was impossible that he would form a romance with a girl when already traveling with another.

Later on, when training with Kabur, he had even fewer chances of something happening.

"I never did something as shameful as that to attract her attention..."

Although Bashi negated it, Lily didn't believe him, but it wasn't like if Lily cared about it if it was true or not since she only pointed it out as a form of comparison.

"Whatever you say. Stay focused, the danger may come at any moment, and big sis Ange would be sad if something happened to you."

It had been calm the whole time, but there was no guarantee that it would continue like that. Moreover, they were in a place where death was absolute, so resurrection was impossible.

"I know, but although you are sisters, you would probably just laugh at me for being stupid if I were to die."

Bashi spoke without thinking, but Lily was offended.

"Who do you think I am? I am not like our big sis, but how can I be so cruel to laugh if you were to die, don't be stupid. I know that we aren't related at all since my only connection with the family is the bloodline I received from father and his kindness to accept me after big sister Ange save me, but I think that since I am far older than you and you consider Ange your big sister, I can also be considered like your big sister, although you never showed me any respect... There is no way I could be happy if you die."

Lily was always arguing with Bashi, but she didn't want him dead. Although they weren't really family since Lily was only related to Yale, they had argued for so long that it wasn't wrong for Lily considering Bashi her best friend, although she wouldn't admit it.

If something were to happen to Bashi, she wouldn't be less angered than Ange, Shiba, or Eini.

Seeing that Lily wasn't joking, Bashi felt ashamed of himself for being so thoughtless. He knew that Lily wouldn't be happy if he died, but since they were always arguing, he said it without considering that Lily could be offended.

"I am sorry, I never wanted to offend you. However, starting to treat you like a big sister seems impossible, I never saw you in that way, and I don't think I can begin now..."

For him, Lily was his rival, so he couldn't change the image he had of her to that of a big sister. Moreover, he had Ange in that image, and it was clear that Lily's personality was completely different.

"Do as you want. It isn't as if I would feel comfortable with you calling me 'big sister' or something like that at this point. I am already used to you just treating me as if we had the same age, not like age matters for people like us anyway."

Lily knew Bashi since he was born, so it would have been natural that Bashi had been more respectful towards her, but their conflicts about Ange made that Bashi never considered Lily as someone older.

Of course, that was more to blame to Lily's behavior than to Bashi, so Lily didn't really complain about that. She didn't feel that she would fit acting as a big sister since she also had Ange as the standard.

"There seems to be something near, everyone, be careful."

At the moment Shiba spoke while stopping to walk, everyone focused their attention on finding something strange in the surrounding, but only Shiba with the Great Dimensional Divinity managed to discover it.
