Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? (LN) - Volume 15 Chapter 5.9 Epilogue & Prologue

The speeches from both the Demon Lord and the pontiff reached me, too. “We’re the ones who will win in the end,” she says?
Well, I can’t go and lose after hearing a line like that, now can I? “Neither of us can lose, it would seem.”
Facing off against me, Black gives a grim smile. I guess he must have heard the speeches, too.
To me, the pontiff’s speech kinda sounded like a cry of sorrow.
Listening to it, I could tell that he really suffered a lot, but couldn’t choose any other path, all this time.
It’s clear from his speech that he’s not a bad guy—he’s actually really noble.
If things played out differently, maybe we could’ve even stood side by side as allies instead of enemies.
The same goes for Black here. It’s not like we hate each other. Honestly, I kinda like the guy. But we still have to fight.
Because neither of us can back down from what we believe in. All that’s left, then, is to give it everything we’ve got.
So I make this declaration as a sign of respect. “We’re the ones who are gonna win.”
“I cannot afford to lose, either.”
We both have goals we can’t give up on.
We both have ideals and people we want to protect. We’re both putting our pride on the line.
My opponent is Administrator Güliedistodiez.
The dragon god who has watched over this world all along, forbidden from doing anything more.
A guardian who carries the hopes of humanity on his back. I couldn’t ask for a more worthy foe.
But still, we’re the ones who will win in the end.
Even if he carries the faith and strength of all mankind, I will tear it all down.
“I’m ready.”
“Let’s go.”
And thus resumed the battle between Güliedistodiez and me.
