38.

 

At his words about receiving an oracle, I looked at him with surprised eyes.

 

Before he became a high priest, that is, before his coming-of-age ceremony, he had heard God’s voice while still in a priest’s body, but that was only once.

 

That one time was on Foundation Day.

 

It was an oracle telling him to eliminate the path that a dark sorcerer would create in the Forest of Monsters, allowing monsters to roam freely throughout the Empire’s villages.

 

That oracle was exceptionally direct in being able to save the Empire, so the Emperor regarded Greim as truly chosen by God and granted him territory in recognition of his merit in saving the Empire from tremendous damage.

 

That was his first and last oracle before becoming an adult, but Foundation Day was still months away.

 

I wondered if he had received that oracle early, but then I remembered that before mentioning receiving an oracle, he had asked me if I had attribute abilities, and I was overcome with a strange feeling.

 

“May I ask what kind of oracle you received?”

 

“Of course. It’s an oracle given about Elinea.”

 

“Pardon? About me?”

 

“God said that you would use divine power.”

 

“…!”

 

“That power is another attribute power derived from the power God gave to humans. He said it’s a power that can unfold infinite possibilities according to human capacity.”

 

This is definitely about the dark magic I possess.

 

For God to directly tell Greim about my dark magic means my power truly has a correlation with the attribute abilities of this place.

 

From the beginning, seeing my summoned creature say that Theor’s darkness attribute was more delicious than my dark magic power proved that the two powers were the same.

 

Then could my possession of this body also be God’s will?

 

Perhaps it could be.

 

After all, I can use all the techniques of dark magic from the world I originally lived in.

 

This is just my thought, but when I died unjustly and all techniques of dark magic were on the verge of disappearing, perhaps a panicked God hastily sent me here.

 

From the beginning, even God probably never thought that humans would call his own power, dark magic, wicked magic and drive to death those who studied that power.

 

Anyway, my sudden death might have been the cause of my possession of this body.

 

Then was the novel I saw also deliberately shown to me for this purpose…?

 

Whatever the case, now that I learned the power in the novel I read and my power in reality were the same, I thought that part might also be God’s intention.

 

“God said that?”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“But how do you know that I’m the one who possesses that power?”

 

“The one who filled my mind all day yesterday.”

 

Greim stared directly at me as he continued speaking.

 

“He said that person was the owner of that power.”

 

“….”

 

So right now.

 

He’s saying he kept thinking about me, isn’t he?

 

As I blinked my eyes rapidly in confusion, Greim finally realized what he had said and began stuttering.

 

“Ah, th-that is, what I mean is…!”

 

“Anyway, you’re certain that I’m the owner of that power?”

 

Seeing some inexplicable pity for Greim’s face that had turned red as if about to burst, I didn’t point out the part about why he had been thinking of me.

 

At that, Greim nodded once with what seemed like slight relief and answered.

 

“I’m certain. Haven’t you felt it yet?”

 

“No, I can already use that, um… abilities similar to the darkness attribute.”

 

At Greim’s cautious question, I raised my hand and told him everything that had happened with Theor.

 

From the power I possessed to sharing summoned creatures with him.

 

Since Greim heard God’s voice anyway, there would be no need to lie, and since God was on the protagonists’ side, Greim would surely be on our side too, so there seemed no need for suspicion.

 

I didn’t think he would believe my being a possessor as much as Theor did, so I put more effort into that part.

 

But Greim accepted my possession without as much resistance as Theor had accepted coexisting with Pandeum’s memories.

 

Even the fact that this place was inside a book I had read.

 

He muttered fanatic-like words that all of it was also God’s will.

 

“I see. Indeed, your aura’s color was different from when I first met you.”

 

“Aura’s color?”

 

“I can see people’s auras.”

 

Greim pointed to his gray eyes with his index finger as he continued.

 

“Each person’s unique color appears clearly to these eyes. But Elinea didn’t have one unique color, but six.”

 

“Six?”

 

“Water, fire, wind, earth, and light and darkness. The auras of the six attributes God gave to humans.”

 

“You’re saying I have all of those?”

 

When I asked with slightly surprised eyes, Greim nodded and said.

 

“That’s why Elinea kept being in my mind, I think.”

 

At first he wondered if it appeared that way because as a commoner I had no attributes at all, but he had to acknowledge it was different since commoners without attributes only showed white auras.

 

And he continued that the next morning, after losing sleep from curiosity about that difference, God gave him the answer.

 

Well now.

 

Just listening to this, he really seems like nothing but a fanatic.

 

Having possessed someone’s body, I had no choice but to believe God exists, so I’ll give reluctant acknowledgment, but if someone who didn’t believe in God had been listening to Greim’s words, they probably would have really thought Greim was a screw-loose fanatic.

 

“I see. But then, did you tell the people at the Imperial Shrine about the oracle you received today?”

 

“No. This is a matter of imperial importance that His Majesty the Emperor should know first, so I’m only telling Elinea, the person involved.”

 

“Ah, thank you. His Highness the Crown Prince also knows about my power and has agreed to give me an audience with His Majesty the Emperor.”

 

“Even His Highness the Crown Prince knows?”

 

Greim frowned slightly.

 

“I was the last to know. And I only learned the truth through God’s voice.”

 

Since Theor, Lloyd, and Greim had been friends since childhood, he seemed a bit hurt that he was the only one who didn’t know about my secret that the other two were sharing.

 

I explained in detail to him how Lloyd came to know my secret.

 

“Ancient monsters?”

 

“Yes. I have two ancient monster stones as evidence. I plan to give them to His Majesty the Emperor when I meet him later.”

 

When I said that two ancient monsters had really attacked Theor and me, Lloyd and Perioze’s Sister, though it might be hard to believe, he nodded and said he believed it.

 

“I believe you. However, the fact that ancient monsters appeared is a bit surprising.”

 

“According to the novel I read before possessing this body, that’s the work of a dark sorcerer.”

 

“A dark sorcerer…?”

 

“You would know too.”

 

“Please call me Greim.”

 

Interrupting my words, Greim asked me to call him by his name.

 

At that, I looked at him in momentary confusion, then thinking that since he was Theor’s friend, he might want to do everything Theor did, I nodded and continued what I was going to say.

 

“Greim would know too. That the Head Priest of the Imperial Shrine and several priests are colluding with Her Majesty the Empress to threaten His Highness the Crown Prince.”

 

At my words, Greim nodded once.

 

“They’ve been tormenting His Highness the Crown Prince for a long time. I know well since I’ve always watched from close by.”

 

Greim said that because he knew the entire Imperial Shrine was on the Empress’s side, he trusted no one at the Imperial Shrine.

 

He said that since childhood, while learning attribute theory with Lloyd, there were many times Lloyd was in danger from schemes created by the Head Priest and other Imperial Shrine people in collusion with the Empress, and each time Theor, himself, and Lloyd joined forces to escape the crisis,

 

which is why he would never let the Imperial Shrine and Empress learn of my power first.

 

To that, I nodded and answered.

 

“I’m glad we think the same. For now, I’ll tell Theor about the oracle right now.”

 

“Right now? Wait, no matter how much my room is a place no one else can enter, you can’t use communication orbs here. I’m going to be the next high priest, and for someone like me to casually break the rules….”

 

“Oh, no, no.”

 

Thinking Greim was misunderstanding, I quickly waved my hands and continued speaking to him.

 

“I have no intention of using a communication orb here. I didn’t even bring one in the first place.”

 

“Then… ah, did Theor say he would visit here today?”

 

“No, that. I told you earlier that Theor made a contract with my summoned creature.”

 

At my words, Greim nodded once with a puzzled expression.

 

His expression asked what connection that had with the current situation.

 

I lightly tapped my temple with my index finger and said to him.

 

“I can have conversations with Theor through here.”
