Part 2, Episode 48 (241)
“I’ll help you with anything I possibly can.”
Even if it meant risking my life.
After all, Blake was willing to walk into danger for the sake of Isthel Territory—I owed him something in return.
I watched as the tension in Blake’s broad shoulders eased slightly.
“It’s nothing much. I simply… would you be willing to be my friend?”
“…!”
“Including casual speech.”
A faint hint of playfulness danced across his strikingly handsome face.
He really did look like the archetypal male lead from a romance novel.
With that thought, I nodded without hesitation.
“Of course I’d like that!”
“I understand I cannot be treated as I was before. Still, I hope you might allow me to remain by your side.”
I knew exactly what Blake meant by “before.”
He lowered his head slightly, seeming a bit embarrassed.
And I… for just a moment, I could have sworn I saw ears sprouting from his head.
Only for the briefest instant, though.
“Sure, let’s be friends! I’m already friends with Maxxi anyway, so what’s the difference?”
“Maxxi—you mean the Crown Prince?”
“Yeah, that’s right. But didn’t you ask me to speak casually?”
As I stared at him intently, Blake faltered slightly.
Perhaps he hadn’t expected me to do so immediately.
‘He’s got his weak points. How endearing.’
The Blake in the conference room seemed so perfectly composed, like not even a needle could slip through.
“…Alright.”
After a long hesitation, Blake spoke quietly. I didn’t miss the way his ears flushed red.
‘So he’s actually quite shy after all.’
In that case, true friendship meant I should pretend not to notice.
And so Blake got what he wanted and returned to his territory, while the rest of us threw ourselves into war preparations with full force.
We requested support from each territory and received supplies through Laximon.
Most went to those remaining here, while some were placed in subspace by the tower infiltration team—those heading into the Tower of Hell ended up carrying more supplies.
After all, we’d need to feed the people we rescued from inside.
That night.
Just before sleep claimed me, a secret message from the Chaos Spirit King shattered my drowsiness.
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ tempts you, saying he’ll share important information if you swear to make the next contract with him.]
“If you have information like that, you should tell me first—then I’d actually want to make a contract!”
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ sheds false tears, worried you’ll extract the information and abandon him.]
I was so exasperated that I set down the pillow I’d been holding and stared up at the void.
“Are you really going to do this? I’ll tell everyone about our secret conversation from before!”
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ puts on a wounded expression, asking if you really were planning to extract information and discard him.]
“I haven’t decided yet. Which of the Grape Board members I contract with is entirely my choice. But that’s suspicious, isn’t it? Why are you so eager to contract with me?”
I had no choice but to bring up the thought I’d been putting off, and now that I examined it again, it seemed even more suspicious.
Of course, the Chaos Spirit King was always pestering me to make a contract… but this seemed excessive.
He really does seem anxious about it.
“Chaos Spirit King, there’s something inside the Tower of Hell, isn’t there?”
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ avoids the subject.]
“Something you desperately want, something you’d even descend in person just to see directly…! That’s what it is, right?”
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ hesitates.]
[No, what… how could a Spirit King harbor greed!]
“…So there is something. Just tell me plainly what it is. I’ll find it for you.”
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ glances around cautiously.]
[Well, I used to raise a three-headed puppy.]
The fact that it had three heads was deeply unsettling from the start.
I focused intently and read the shimmering text.
[But one day, while I was taking it for a walk, the leash came undone.]
“What?!”
At my shocked reaction, the Chaos Spirit King replied dejectedly.
[It wasn’t supposed to happen like that.]
Is that supposed to be an excuse?
Frustrated, I unconsciously struck my chest.
“So what’s the puppy’s name?”
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ squirms uncomfortably.]
[Cerberus. It was a puppy I truly cherished. I don’t know where it went, so I searched everywhere—the Human Realm, the Spirit Realm, even the Demon Realm…]
“You sensed its presence?”
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ clenches his fist firmly. Yes!]
[Those wicked beings must have kidnapped my gentle Cerberus. The little one was so good and adorable—whenever it would show its belly and bark, all my worries would melt away.]
What worries could the Chaos Spirit King possibly have… No, that’s not the important part.
‘That explains it. He was being so aggressive.’
If he wants to find his lost puppy, well, there’s nothing more to say.
I should help him.
“How long has it been since you lost it?”
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ glances around nervously.]
[Well, about… 2000 years ago, I think…?]
“What?!?!”
This time I really had to cry out loudly.
No, if it’s been 2000 years, that dog would have forgotten its master long, long ago!
After taking a deep breath to compose myself, I asked seriously.
“You really do want to find it, right? Then tell me that crucial information upfront. I’ll find it no matter what it takes.”
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ fidgets with his hands.]
[That’s not difficult… but if I just take it by force, the little one might get hurt again. I’d need to descend myself, but I don’t have the means to do that…]
“There’s the Spirit King card, isn’t there?”
I stated it plainly and crossed my arms.
“And you’re saying not to kill him but to pass through the floor. It’s difficult work, so you should at least give me information worth paying upfront for.”
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ drops his shoulders.]
[About the Tower of Hell—no one must eat anything that grows inside it. Mushrooms, meat, anything. But you can eat what you bring from outside.]
“…!”
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ continues speaking.]
[There will be red pomegranates in there, you see? They’ll be truly tempting. But once they touch your lips, you can never leave. They belong to that realm.]
How am I supposed to handle this when you’re only telling me such crucial information now…!
I jumped in alarm, but I carefully pressed every detail into my mind one by one.
“What about someone who’s already eaten it?”
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ gazes at you quietly.]
“…Do I have to give up?”
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ shrugs.]
[You’ll have to give up. The moment it touches their lips even once, reason vanishes. They wander that place and become a phantom.]
I fell silent for a moment.
We can’t just rush in without preparation, so we need time, but the more I hear, the more I’m dying with worry about my Aunt and Maxxi.
Before me, who had finally given up on sleep, the exclusive Quest the Chaos Spirit King had given me came to mind.
