“Yes,” Mutia replied.
As she said “yes,” I heard her teeth grinding, so the pronunciation was closer to “grryes.” However, I was a generous man, even to those who had been defeated. I pretended not to hear. Whether Mutia ground her teeth or not, I had the right to ask what I wanted to know.
“I got the Skill from the Fire Emperor. As far as I know, he received his Skill from the Mirage-Walking Princess. I’ve never actually heard that you and he were involved in its creation.”
“It’s like a movie.”
I tilted my head. “Huh?”
“I said it’s like the movies you humans enjoy watching.”
The Constellation of Gold glared up at me with hatred. I had the right to demand that the defeated keep her knees on the ground.
“To make a movie, you need a director, a producer, and sponsors. In your world, Class EX Skills are like blockbuster masterpieces. The Mirage-Walking Princess is the director, or closer to the producer, of that movie.”
I recalled the past.
“I’m really sorry, Death King! I’m the Pillar who gave the Fire Emperor his Skill long ago!”
The princess had once said that to me while headbutting the ground.
