Act 6: Chapter 1: Observer's Plan(Side: Nyarlhotep)
In the white space… Stood a man with green hair, dressed in a black formal suit.
His name is Nyarlhotepp, one of the higher beings who invited Kanata to the other world, Locklore.
「Yes, there are no oversights. The top three of the 《Invisible Hand of the Gods》 are finally starting to move in earnest. I don’t think Kanata can defeat 《Demon King of Sixth Heaven; Nobunaga》 and as a last resort, we also have the 《Void of Silence》 as insurance. At this point, Kanata Kanbara has no countermeasures. The issue of Kanata Kanbara, which has dragged on for so long, will finally come to an end.」
Nyarlhotep was communicating with the higher deity he served, reporting on the current situation in the parallel world of Locklore.
「The leader, the 《World King; Veranta》also deems that dealing with Kanata is not difficult. He is already made his move with the aftermath of Kanata's disposal in mind. It seems he is devising a plan to torment the lich girl’s mind and once again imprison her in the 《Cocytus》.」
「Indeed, well done… my subordinate. I was greatly disappointed in you due to this recent blunder, but it seems that at last, this foolish commotion will come to an end.」
「Recent blunder? … disappointment…? Which mouth is speaking of this?」
Nyarlhotep involuntarily twisted his expression and spat out those words.
Nyarlhotep was dissatisfied with the response of his master, the upper-rank god, in this instance.
Indeed, it was Nyarlhotep who made the initial mistake that led to this situation.
The root cause of the problem was the arrogance stemming from the smooth operation of the other world, Locklore, which led to negligence in management.
Naturally, Nyarlhotep fully understand that matter as well.
However, the upper-rank god he served had imposed the unreasonable demand on Nyarlhotep, namely 『Resolve the issue while keeping interference in the operation of the other world Locklore to a minimum for the sake of maintaining its entertainment value』.
Due to the half-hearted measures taken, the mismanagement of the other world Locklore continued to be exposed, and the extended duration of the issue only further spread the disgrace.

The number of gods who viewed the other world Locklore purely for entertainment had decreased, and only those gods who took pleasure in watching Kanata destroy the world that had been painstakingly built by the management remained.
As a result, while the attention from the gods of the other world Locklore increased, it significantly diminished the entertainment value and lifespan of the world.
The worsening situation eventually led to the acknowledgment of using the 《Invisible Hand of the God》 to directly eliminate Kanata. However, there was an ulterior motive behind this decision.
The upper-rank god of Nyarlhotep decided to elevate Naiarotop's interference authority while publicly revealing the conflict. This was marketed as 『Kanata vs. the Low-Rank god Nyarlhotep』 turning it into a form of entertainment.
Due to this latest blunder, Nyarlhotep became known to the other gods as the 『incompetent overseer of the troubled world of Locklore』 His superior, displeased with this attention, orchestrated the situation to ensure that the blame and scrutiny would be directed towards Naiarotop himself.
As intended by Nyarlhotep's superior, the gods' curiosity is now directed towards Nyarlhotep.
The other overseers managed to avoid significant ridicule or criticism.
「Did you say something, my kin?」
At the sound of his master’s voice, Nyarlhotep squinted his eyes and clenched his teeth, revealing his anger.
「Yes… I have plenty to say! Don’t try to tell me you bear no responsibility in this matter! If only we had intervened forcefully and eliminated those inferior beings early on! I said so from the beginning! If we had done that, we wouldn’t be in this mess now!」 𝘳άNꝊ𝐛Ɛ𝐬
「Ha~h… Listen, the reason you ended up taking the brunt of this is because your hasty decision to directly attack Kanata Kanbara with magic was the biggest factor. The selling point of the otherworldly Roqueoria was that our interference was kept to a minimum, but your reckless actions undermined that. Therefore, it was necessary to show that this was not a matter of the management’s intent to allow interference, but rather the actions of an irresponsible subordinate who was forced to take responsibility.」
「That's just an excuse! Sure, that aspect existed, but… there must have been a scheme to divert the other gods' attention away from themselves by making me the laughingstock!」
「Overall, it was simply the most convenient option. Once everything is resolved, I’ll make sure to facilitate the restoration of your honor, which was tarnished by this incident.」
「Is that really true? You’re not just trying to lure me with sweet words, give me a pep talk, and then dispose of me, are you?」
「Gods value trust above all else. Have I ever broken a trivial promise? It is true that, as you pointed out, there is an aspect of making you a scapegoat to protect the operation itself. I too share responsibility for failing to notice your sloppy management. If you fulfill your role properly and resolve this issue, I do intend to make amends accordingly.」
「Understood. Once Kanata Kanbara is dealt with, I trust you will take care of me as promised! Please don't abandon me, alright?」
「However, the compensation I provide will be given only if you successfully resolve the Kanata Kanbara issue.」
Nyarlhotep's master said in a low voice, as if to threaten.
「Y-Yes, I understand. However, it should be fine, because the 《Invisible Hand of God》 is…!」
「《Invisible Hand of God》is the last bastion of Locklore. If something goes wrong… be prepared for the end of both Locklore and yourself.」
「U-U-Understood… So that's mean…」
When Nyarlhotep stammered those words, the presence of his master suddenly vanished.
It seemed that the master had diverted their attention away from Nyarlhotep.
Nyarlhotep took a deep breath to calm himself, then extended his fingertips towards the air.
His gesture created a ripple in the space.
There he saw the image of the masked man, the leader of the 《Invisible Hand of God》.
「Don't you dare fail even the slightest, 《World King; Veranta》…! I was supposed to make a name for myself and rise spectacularly through the ranks of the divine realm with the management of the world of Rookroa. There's no way my position and future should be threatened because of such trash…!」
