Part 2, Chapter 45
* * *
A party was formed.
The members were me, Lu, the Handsome Inspector, and Ash. As always, this three-person team combination was extremely stable. Two men and one woman was likewise. Of course, the one woman here was Lu.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve been to a port.’
When was the last time I came to such a large port.
I think it’s the first time since the end of the Magical War, when we headed to the Southern Imperial Archipelago to settle things with Mephistopheles.
At that time, we were greatly exhausted and supplies were not abundant either, and although there were many warships departing, there were virtually no warships entering port, so I remember it being a tense and gloomy atmosphere all day long.
Because all the ports on the nearest islands were destroyed, when we entered the port through the coast, we had to step over the corpses of countless comrades. It was one of the most terrible and painful battlefields that remained in my mind.
‘Compared to that, this place is…’
The atmosphere wasn’t bad.
No, it was actually good.
“Mom! The ship is huge! It’s an incredibly big ship!”
This place was peaceful and bustling, as if we had visited with family during ordinary times, on an ordinary travel itinerary.
I stood in front of a large notice board positioned at one spot on the pier.
【Bevonn-Ostita Boarding Pass Guild Discount Information】
【For medium-sized or larger guilds with national certification, Bevonn-Ostita boarding passes will be discounted according to the following criteria…】
And next to it was.
【Notice to pier users.</p】
Due to the Wall of Fire blocking the direct flight route to Contaninos, both Bevonn Pier and Ostita Pier of the Contaninos Republic are currently undergoing emergency expansion construction.
We will complete construction as soon as possible.
We apologize for any inconvenience.>
Because of the Wall of Fire, there are no other means of transportation, so everyone has flocked to the pier.
According to what I examined on the map, the Wall of Fire surrounded the border between Pen Rota and the Contaninos Republic in a fairly long formation.
Below that, the ‘Calm Sea’ stretched vertically between the two countries, and most ships crossed that Calm Sea to travel between the two nations.
“It’s been a while since I’ve experienced commoner life, so I’m excited.”
The Weatherwax Baroness’s lips curved in a genuinely thrilled arc as he said that.
At least it’s not that shabby pink rabbit mask anymore… but looking at the golden butterfly mask, I think the rabbit might have been better… it’s damn dazzling.
“When did you prepare that mask again?”
“It’s a treasure that His Majesty the Emperor personally bestowed upon me. How is it, does it suit me well?”
“May I speak honestly?”
He turned his head, pretending not to hear.
“My throat is a bit dry, so I should go buy some drinking water. Ah, is our Miss Luna thirsty as well?”
At the Weatherwax Baroness’s kind question, Lu (Luna) smiled brightly and shook her head.
“I’m fine, so please go comfortably.”
Lu, who was accustomed to being treated like a lady, didn’t seem bothered at all now. However, I was only amazed by the Weatherwax Baroness’s adaptability in persistently treating Lu like a lady even while knowing Lu’s true identity.
I stood facing the horizon, enjoying the leisure of the open scenery.
The reason the gazes around me were always indifferent even when I walked around comfortably in Andert’s form was, as always, thanks to Lu’s magic.
It could blur my impression to others, reducing not only my presence but even my signs of life significantly. Though the golden butterfly mask was still a bit difficult.
‘Should I try learning magic too.’
Among those called demigods, everyone except me is a mage. Even Lu hasn’t touched a sword in a long time, so ultimately, to live for over 100 years, the convenience of magic…
Bzzzz.
It was an unfamiliar vibration.
‘What is it? I definitely hear a vibrating sound from somewhere, but I can’t tell where.’
Chirp.
“Ah, thank you.”
Something silver was held in Ash’s beak as he poked his head into the bag and came back out.
“This is…”
That lily of the valley silver coin I got on the train.
By the time I wondered what it was and tried to grab it, it was already too late. Lu, who had snatched the silver coin before me…
Splash!
Threw it into the sea without hesitation.
When I turned my head with an incredulous look, Lu’s face was rigidly hardened.
“Where did this come from.”
“…A lily of the valley silver coin? Ah, come to think of it, you were sleeping then. I met some strange guy on the train to Brishuir and he left it behind.”
“What kind of guy was he?”
He was a character difficult to define in one word, but I racked my brain to describe him as concisely as possible.
“A pervert?”
“That’s not a very helpful description. There are no normal ones among those demigod bastards, Daisy.”
“Um… Ah, Deshang called him Black Mask.”
Tsk. Lu clicked his tongue briefly.
“So it’s Spolia.”
At that moment, something lightly rose from below the water surface and flew in a parabolic arc.
Lu casually caught the returned silver coin, examined its completely dry surface in detail, then handed it back to me.
“It’s genuine. Hmm. To think that psycho came and went while I was sleeping. Have you already forgotten what happened with Rien? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Perhaps because of his sharp voice, Lu looked angry at a glance.
Good grief. How was I supposed to wake up a blue cat sleeping soundly? But I understood Lu’s concern too well to raise my voice in return. Until recently, I had been in a body with my heart stolen.
“It wasn’t intentional. I just… wasn’t in the right state of mind. You were also continuously asleep.”
Since the other’s gaze became sulky, I pretended not to notice and changed the subject.
“So what is this silver coin used for?”
“…When three or more respond to the reception, you can meet in soul form at the entrance to the pantheon that leads to the universe.”
“What-theon?”
“Pantheon. The boundary of ascension.”
Ah.
He’s talking about that boundary I saw when I awakened – the desert and swampland, where lava and blizzards fell.
‘To think we can meet there. It’s hard to imagine.’
I carefully examined the silver coin that didn’t look particularly special. Except for the pretty lily of the valley embossed on it, it wasn’t much different.
“Then Rien and you also possess this silver coin?”
“Yes. I wasn’t planning to give one to you… but Spolia moved quickly like a cheat. It seems he’s already imprinted you as the owner. There’s troublesome magic cast on it that makes it impossible to lose.”
So he was planning to exclude only me when all the other demigods possessed silver coins?
“Why exclude only me?”
What others have, I should have too. Especially if the opponent is Rien, I should have it even more.
When I looked at him with dissatisfaction, Lu smiled subtly like air escaping from a balloon.
“My innocent Daisy.”
“…”
“Do you know how many demigods were born during the 150 years when Spolia achieved unity of mind and body, and you achieved unity of mind and body?”
“…Wasn’t it just me?”
“No, there were five more. Where do you think they all went now?”
While I was gauging his meaningful expression, familiar presence approached from behind.
“Did I interrupt something I shouldn’t have?”
It was the Weatherwax Baroness.
“…No. But didn’t you say you were going to buy drinking water? What’s that in both your hands?”
The Weatherwax Baroness moved the ice cream he was holding away from me.
“Don’t be greedy. It’s not yours but this lady’s.”
Lu, who received the ice cream, burst into a fresh laugh.
“Oh my, thank you. I’ll eat it well, Handsome Inspector.”
You’re really enjoying commoner life.
Not long after, we boarded the passenger ship bound for Contaninos.
