Two bodies.
She could clearly feel herself still sitting in the Demon Lord's Castle, yet she could also control another body and perceive the aura of the new world.
"Just think of it as parallel consciousness."
Rin had changed his previously aggressive attitude, now much gentler toward Hinata.
This made Hinata feel a little overwhelmed by the unexpected kindness.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
Rin only showed a stern face to his enemies.
Toward his own people, Rin was always approachable.
Hinata had already joined Rin's ranks and become his dependent.
Coupled with her previous full-body dogeza, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Hinata was already his person.
"Can you still adapt?"
"No problem."
Hinata was only surprised at first. With her combat experience and control over her body, let alone her main body being in a state of closed-eye rest, even simultaneously controlling two bodies in combat was no big deal.
"Um, Rin-sama, are we on Earth?"
"That's right."
Rin reached into his pocket and pulled out two phones, handing one to Hinata. "Here, this is for you."
"This is..."
Before Hinata transmigrated, it was roughly around 2007, so she knew about touchscreen phones but hadn't used one.
Hinata was also used to the latter.
"These contain our identification. Violet prepared them for us."
Since they were descending as humans, Violet naturally wouldn't let Rin and Hinata become unregistered citizens.
The necessary identification, bank accounts, and other indispensable items in modern society had already been prepared for the two by Violet.
"How, how amazing..."
"Let me see, my identity in this world is a photographer?"
Hinata took the package Rin handed her, which contained various items proving her identity, such as a seal, driver's license, and passport.
As for Hinata's identity, Rin took a glance and found that her age was 25, which happened to be her actual age.
As for her profession, Violet had prepared for Hinata the identity of a photographer who travels the world, capturing beautiful scenery.
"Was this also prepared by Violet-san?"
"Yes."
Rin took out his ID card. "As for me, it's a bit sad. I'm just an unemployed wanderer."
"Eh?"
Hinata was a little surprised, secretly wondering whether Violet did it on purpose or by accident.
"Well, it doesn't matter anyway."
Rin didn't care about these things. He took Hinata to buy two milk teas, then drank and chatted. "Because it was a bit rushed, I didn't tell you the specific plan."
"Please instruct me!"
"Uh..."
Rin smiled. "No need to be so nervous."
"The previous incident was because we were in a hostile state," Rin apologized to the girl, then said, "From now on, let's get along well."
However, looking at Hinata's resolute and stubborn gaze, Rin felt that getting this girl to become familiar with him would probably be quite difficult.
"Never mind, as long as you like it..."
"But in this world, don't use honorifics."
"Just call me Rin."
"Mm."
"Rin-san."
"..."
Rin shook his head helplessly. "Ahem, in short, our plan is this."
"Among those who descended this time, only you and I chose human identities."
"Mm."
"Lord Luminous and the other Demon Lords are probably planning to descend as Heretic Gods, right?"
"That's right."
Rin had already had Violet share the basic information with the two girls.
"But unlike us."
"It's not easy for Luminous and the others to pass through the Immortal Realm."
"If it were a normal descent, they wouldn't be able to break through the Immortal Realm for several months."
"Therefore, we need to help them."
"How do we do that?"
"Perform the summoning ritual of a Heretic God."
Rin took Hinata and found a secluded spot to sit down, then said, "I just checked the time. It's February now."
"According to Violet's observation of this world, the protagonist of the Campione World will complete the great feat of slaying a god in March, becoming the world's seventh Campione."
Rin didn't say that this information came from the novels and anime he had watched before.
Instead, he attributed it to Violet.
"The protagonist of the world?"
Hinata didn't quite understand the concept. She couldn't imagine that a world could even have a protagonist.
This wasn't a game or a movie.
How could such a thing exist?
However, the person who said this was Rin, so Hinata had to believe it.
"You might feel confused."
Rin said, "In short, just think of him as the Child of Destiny of this world."
"If there were no interference from outsiders like us, the Child of Destiny would constantly grow stronger under the favor of fate and then gain various benefits."
"Then, who is this Child of Destiny?"
"His name is Kusanagi Godou."
"A Japanese person?"
Hinata hadn't expected the Child of Destiny of this world to be a Japanese person.
"That's right, a Japanese person."
Rin said, "So I hope, Hinata, you can return to Japan, and then, there, find a way to complete the Divine Descent ritual."
"But..."
Hinata said, "I don't know how to do it."
"Don't worry."
Rin smiled and nodded. "Do you think we truly descended into this world as humans?"
As soon as his voice fell, Violet's voice immediately echoed in the minds of both Rin and Hinata.
