Iâd like to get «Rope» to its secondary skill today. I donât need to aim for the passive skills, as they should rise on their own.
Chronicles were cleared even while I was sleeping. Improvements to fishing equipmentâŠâŠ? Lures are now available in the Resident shops. Is there such a type? It seems that there are a lot of low-key things like this. There also seems to be something cooking relatedâŠ. but I will leave that to the other cooks.
âWelcome home.â
âAre there any problems?â
âNo problems, but I have messages. The Chancellor would like to see you. And Outsiders have taken the Lotus and Punica for delivery.â
Checking the Chronicle, I can see that some deliveries have been made. As a whole, it is still a long way off, but there are a lot of places to deliver to, so itâs expected. I wonder how many people have made it as far as the royal capitalâŠ.
I can deliver to the capital of Nealence. That is, the church headquarters. I would like to see it, so I can make a casual visit.
âThen I will make the delivery to the church headquarters, while offering my greetings, so please prepare it.â
âUnderstood.â
While waiting, Iâll take a look at the Inhuman races board. And browse the Chronicle.
HmmmâŠ. If people donât want to collect it themselves the maids can prepare the items with a high quality. But in that case, itâs an event item and can only be used for the delivery. If itâs collected manually then it can be used for both crafting and the delivery, just like a normal material.
Oh, here it isâŠ..but mine is still not an event item. The way I said it, it should be known it was meant for delivery. So I guess the difference in position has something to do with it. Thatâs the only thing that comes to mind.
I am seen off from the palace by the maid, and head over to visit the Chancellor at Evernight Castle.
âDid you call for me, Chancellor?â
âOh, Sire. Have you been told about the festival?â
âHuh? I havenât heard anything.â
âNemeseia, the origin of the name of the royal family. Simply put, itâs a festival for the repose of the soul, the revitalization of the Afterworld, the guidance of lost souls, and for us Immortals. There are songs from ancient times.â
âSongs?â
âFestivals often mean songs. So please learn them.â
<Music has been added. Listening and karaoke modes are now available.>
Karaoke modeâŠ. Practice.
ThisâŠmust be the UI that is added when you acquire music related skills.
âSince youâve learned it, Sire, please use the ancient divine language.â
ââŠ..Are you sane?â
âHahahahaha!â
Looking at the added songs, it is possible to choose between ancient divine language mode and modern language modes. The ancient divine language is a fictional language, so the pronunciation isâŠ.. Well, this might be more effective, as I need to remember it.
The problem isâŠâŠthe ancient divine language changes depending on the situation. âŠI usually use the so-called magic language. It is only used for magic. In other words, it is different to what is used for songs.
I can listen to it while working on craftingâŠâŠ
âThis will be made known to the other Outsiders who have come to the Nether.â
I hope he doesnât forget about that. Heâs definitely old.
ââŠ.What is it?â
âNothing? Is that all you need?â
Apparently thatâs all, so I return to the palace, practice my daily routine of «Kokon Musou» forms, and then log out.
After breakfast, I log back in.
Then travel to the royal capital of the eastern Nealence Kingdom.
The church in the Starting Town is the size of a mansion, but this church is the size of a castle. Even though itâs the headquarters, I think itâs too big, butâŠ.maybe thatâs not the case when considering real temples. The Parthenon is quite big, isnât it?
Well, letâs go. Of course, Iâll enter straight from the front.
Is the structure generally the same? No, I donât think that could be the case. The place for prayer, where the statue is placed, is a chapel in this world. In the real world, it would beâŠ.a cathedral? I donât know if we can call the statues relics, but they certainly have âpowerâ.
There are statues of the four pillars on the ground, and plenty of benchesâŠ..Itâs a large space that is easy to imagine when you think of a place to pray.
As this chapel is open to the public, it is inevitable that this will be the first space you come to. This place has the greatest significance in this building, and serves as the entrance. The operation of the church has little to do with the gods. So basically, it is in the back of the building.
The Kress religion puts the gods first, so the chapel is most important after the statues. The main entrance of any church is the chapel.
What I mean is that everyone who has business with the church goes to the chapel first. No matter if it is for prayer or for the organization.
In other words, a lot of people are in the chapel at all hours. Of course, when I go there, with my spheres surrounding me, I stand out a lot. The colour of my clothes also matches those of Kress. The design is different, though.
Well, itâs too much trouble, so Iâm going to go quickly. With this method.
âGood day, I am Nemeseia. I have come with a delivery.â
Oh, the effect was excellent after all!
Not just the general public, everyone has taken notice. All the clergy in their habits are shocked. People who were sitting talking to the public also stood up.
All of the people in the church have looked around as a result, focusing on one person. For some reason, he seems to be the one here who is in a superior position. It looks like it was decided that he is the one who will interact with me. Seems like he saw it too, as his smile is rather cramped. What a pity.
Well, Iâm the cause.
The position held is shown by the habitâs embroidery. Both his habit and embroidery are green.
âBoth are greenâŠ.a priest of Goddess Harvenshis faith.â
âY-yes. I did not think there was any way Nemeseia-sama would come in personâŠâŠâ
âI thoughtâŠI would come and say hello at least once. Itâs physically impossible for you to come and see me, and it would be troubling if you died to do so.â
Normally, the royal family would be the one that is visitedâŠbut that is not possible in my case. Then Iâll come to see you! I would be shocked if someone came to visit me as a spirit.
Nemeseia coming to see you, generally it is synonymous with dying.
It seems that instructions have been received about the deliveries arriving, so I can hand it over. The problem is âmeâ.
Honestly, I came here with the intention of showing up at least onceâŠâŠso I donât feel comfortable being treated the other way around. But even if I want to leave quickly, I saw someone heading into the back.
Anyway, Iâve come all this way, so I pray while waiting, as the back of the chapel bustles.
There is no need to look behind me, from a visual perspective, so I can observe them even while in the prayer poseâŠ. A girl and a knight of the churchâŠa paladin.
Miko-samaâŠ.I can hear them saying. Oh? I see, she has heard from Stellura-sama. She can receive some information that even Residents should not know unless introductions are made.
Hanna Adinselă15 years old
Stelluraâs Protection
Blind Miko
âOh, welcome. Hanna-sama.â
âHello, Priest Arne. I came in a hurry, Stellura-sama told me there is someone with the same blessingâŠ.. Itâs very brightâŠâŠâ
Oh, so she has come to see me. But it is bright? Well, well?
âIf it is Stellura-samaâs blessing then you mean me. Good day, Hanna Adinsel-san. Have you heard my name?â
âNo, only that you are in the churchâŠ.â
âŠ.Is Stellura-sama being mischievous? Or is it not so important in the eyes of the gods? Itâs hard to tell.
âIâm Anastasia Atropos Nemeseia. Itâs nice to meet you.â
âEh? NemeseiaâŠ..eh?â
âAn Outsider, and an Outer One, Nemeseia. Iâm also a miko, as I have a blessing.â
â???â
When put like that, it is quite a lot.
By the way, Outer Ones or Immortals do not always have the same blessing.
âNi-nice to meet you.â
âIâm basically an Outsider, so please donât be afraid. âŠ.For me personally, I only have to retaliate if someone picks a fight because of my position.â
If itâs me personally, I can just let it pass, but if Iâm being sold a fight because of my position, itâs more problematic to keep quiet. Specifically, if itâs due to being an Outsider, Iâll let it go. If itâs related to being Nemeseia though, itâs out.
However, there should be no one who starts a fight with either an Outer One or Nemeseia âŠ.Probably not, from the information Iâve gathered so far. There arenât, are there?
âBy the way, there is no hesitation in your movement.â
âSince Stellura-sama gave me her blessing, I can see the outlines.â
Oh, is it «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion»?
After checking with her, it seems to be a degraded version of «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion». It seems that she can see the framework ahead of her, in the same range as eyesight. Since it is fan-shaped, the distance seems to be longer than mine.
âWhat did you mean aboutâŠ.being very bright?â
âItâs thatâŠâŠâ
It seemed to be something difficult, as she was not comfortable saying it, but she told me secretly. A confidential talk.
ââŠ.In my experience, good people look bright, and bad people look dark.â
âHmâŠ.isnât that the colour of the soul?â
âSoulâŠ.?â
âBasically, itâs grey, rightâŠ..I think children are relatively white.â
âYes, thatâs true.â
As they grow older, the soul becomes darker. Because as a child they misbehave, start to lie, and the soul usually settles down as more grey than white in colour.
After comparing answers, it seems correct that she is seeing the colour of souls. In other words, this blind miko seems to have a combined degraded ability of «Darklight Eyes» and «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion».
I cannot see the colour of my own soul, but as we have the blessing of Stellura-sama, both Hanna and I are quite whiteâŠâŠ
It was the first time she saw white of such a level, so she said it out loud. It seems that only a few people know that you can judge someone by their colour.
Now that weâre done with the secret talk, letâs talk normally. Since Iâm here, letâs get a little information about mikoâs.
âIâve heard about the oracle, but what does a miko usually do?â
âUmâŠit depends on the person? I donât do anything special. Iâm not a priest, so the church just provides an escort.â
Basically, she says, a miko has two choices. Those who continue to live as they have, and those who move to the church. If they are adults, it is their own choice. If not, it depends on the family.
The church provides all of them with a paladin escort and caretaker.
Many of SigrdrĂfa-samaâs miko continue to live their lives as they have. Because there are many who are adventurers or knightsâŠ.who live in battle.
Many of Harvenshis-sama and Stellura-samaâs miko move to the church. Stellura-samaâs miko in particular are very likely to receive oracles, so they usually move.
âSometimes, like me, from being an ordinary villager they suddenly become someone who uses people, has power, and experiences a complete change to their life.â
âHow much say does a miko have?â
âQuite a bit. Itâs the trust that successive miko have built up over the yearsâŠ.â
âHmmâŠ.I feel like I was told that the blessing can also turn into a curseâŠ..â
âMm. The power you gain as a miko will be lost if you are no longer a miko. Once you are no longer a miko, you will see what you have done reflected in your surroundings. I wouldnât call it a curse.â
âThen it is getting what you deserve.â
Well, in other words, if you do what you want while you have power, when you no longer have that powerâŠ..youâll get whatâs coming to you. Itâs best to be careful what you do on a daily basis.
She secretly added, âI was taught thatâ. It seems that the one who taught her that was the nearby priest, Arne.
âDid you know? Miko refers to people who received a blessing, but the name changes depending on whose blessing it is.â
âOh, is that so?â
âThose who have received the blessing from SigrdrĂfa-sama are called warriors, and those who have received the blessing from Harvenshis-sama are called saints.â
âWhat about us?â
âApparently the first miko were ones who received a blessing form Stellura-sama, so nothing in particular?.â
FufufuâŠ.I was told that that in a joking tone, but according to the nearby priest Arne, it seems to be true.
âOriginally, the word âmikoâ meant âone who receives an oracleâ. Receiving oracles was basically equal to receiving the blessing of Stellura-sama.â
âSo the term âmikoâ now is broader than in the past?â
âRight. As the scope of their work increased, new names naturally appeared, but even now miko is representative of someone blessed by Stellura-sama.â
When the word âmikoâ is mentioned, it is usually used to refer to someone who has received a blessing from the gods. If not, it means âone who has received a blessing from Stellura-samaâ.
When the words âwarriorâ or âsaintâ are mentioned, they refer to âone who has received a blessing from SigrdrĂfa-sama or Harvenshis-samaâ.
âThere are three levels of blessing. Blessing, protection and affection. Basically, it is rare to get even a blessing, but some people do get protection and affection. Especially in the case of Stellura-sama.â
âIs that so?â
âIt seems soâŠ..â
âIt seems that everyone who receives the blessing of Stellura-sama is like that. They are not aware of it. They donât know how difficult a thing it isâŠ. But please, stay the same. Itâs all right.â
For generations, Stellura-samaâs miko have lost their blessing by adulthood. Probably because their souls become darker as they grow older. You canât stay pure foreverâŠ.
While I am talking with Priest Arne and Hanna-san, people have come from the back of the chapel, causing a commotion amongst those that saw them.
The woman in the centre, in her thirties and dressed very elegantly, is coming towards us.
After spotting her, Priest Arne informs me that the head of the church has arrived.
âYour Majesty, Nemeseia, thank you for coming. Iâm Jasmine Forster.â
âAnastasia Atropos Nemeseia. Iâm still a newcomer among the Outer Ones, but I continue to be the Ruler of the Afterworld. Before that, Iâm an Outsider, but I look forward to working with you.â
I must be very difficult to handle, but thank you!
And so, she joins me and Hanna-san, to talk with us a little.
âIs Lucianna doing well?â
âSheâs fine. Iâve seen her talking to Sophie-san recently.â
âSophieâŠ..Sorciere. Iâm indebted to them both. âŠâŠâ
The current Pope is in her thirtiesâŠâŠwhich means sheâs younger than both of them, so they were like superiors to her. In fact, it seems that Lucianna-san was the one who supported her, so she finds it hard to raise her head in front of them.
Sophie-san is an outsider, from the point of view of the church, but she has a lot of power and must have taken care of them.
By the way, Lucianna-san. An archbishop is an archbishop, but she is a chief archbishop. She is the one who organises the other archbishops. A priest who is reached faster by counting from the top. Pope, cardinal, archbishop.
Why is such a person in the Starting Town? Is what I thought, but it is because it is a central location. It is more convenient to be in the centre as a coordinator.
âBy the way, what should I call you? Is Your Majesty Nemeseia correct?â
ââŠ.I wonder about that. Those in the Nether just call me Sire.â
âSireâŠ.. I believe âŠâŠI have seen something about thatâŠâŠ.â
She instructs one of the holy knights to bring a book.
âIs there a particular way to call the Pope?â
âGenerally, Her Holiness. Or Pope Forster is fine too.â
âWhat about Hanna-san?â
âIâm usually called Miko-sama. There are no other miko of Stellura-sama.â
âI see. I also have a blessing, but being an Outer One and a Nemeseia have more impact than being a miko. I donât need a paladin escort, since Iâm an OutsiderâŠ.Furthermore, this body is an incarnation, so itâs fine even if it is destroyedâŠâ
âAnâŠ.incarnation âŠâŠ?â
Oh, if Her Holiness does not know, then Hanna-san wonât know either.
âHow much do you know about the Outer Ones?â
âTo be honest, just that they are enforcers that live in another dimensionâŠâŠDo you know of the book âStellura-sama and Darklight Speciesâ?â
âYes, Iâve read it.â
âWhat is written there is all I have had the chance to learnâŠ.â
Thatâs true, too. If we come as an enforcer, weâll beat you up and say goodbyeâŠ. Even if you die, you will go to the Nether or the Abyss, so there is no way you can go to the Medium.
If you talk to King Woofwoof, he will answer, but⊠If he comes as an enforcer, you will just get beaten up if youâre judged as a hindrance.
The risk is too high. And he looks like he does.
âHmmmâŠâŠThen this is a good opportunity. Please wait a moment.â
Honestly, Iâm still just a newcomer. Itâs hard to say I would be able to give a detailed enough explanation. So what should I do? Why not just ask. Hahahahaha.
I go and stand in front of the statue of Stellura-samaâŠ. and call on the King of Tindalos.
As usual? He popped out of the corner of the statueâs base.
âWhat is it?â
âNow that Iâve become an Outer One, Iâd like to know more.â
âWell, thatâs a good mindset. All right, what do you want to know?â
I knew that youâd take good care of me, King Woofwoof. Such a reliable king!
Well, it seems it is okay for him to come here on personal matters, and this seems to countâŠâŠ But I wonât worry about it.
Iâll have the heads of the church listen in too.
âFirst of all thenâŠ. Whatâs our connection with the Immortals?â
âNothing direct, really. If I were forced to sayâŠ.itâs just that we follow the same goddess.â
âCompletely different areas then, I suppose.â
âWe have different roles, with no point of contact. They manage souls. We perform condemnation.â
There might be one of the entrances to the Medium in the Nether, but there is still no real contact with the Immortals.
âThere are servant, independent and dominant racesâŠ.. and there is a lower and a higher level, right?â
âRight. There are six levels.â
There is no intermediateâŠâŠ
âAre incarnations common?â
âNo, only some. Basically, itâs the higher dominant races that have incarnations. Youâre unusual, butâŠyouâre probably going to be. Iâm expecting it.â
âIâll do my best to meet your expectations. A bit more about incarnations, please.â
âSimply put, itâs an alter ego created in some way. You should be the same, right?â
âMy incarnation is a part separated from my main body.â
âThereâs a lot of variation between species. The common point is they can all remake the incarnation if it is destroyed. But basically, incarnations are weaker than the main body. In the first place, the incarnation is for convenience.
âFor convenienceâŠ..â
âIf the size of the main body is outside the standard, or the main body canât move, but the purpose changes depending on the species. Some incarnations are capable of independent thought, but that is more rare.â
Higher dominant races. Even the unique-named Mhâithrha, the King of Tindalos, is of a lower dominant race.
And independent thoughtâŠ..As a player, it would be impossible. I think itâs Nyar-sama.
âThe goddess Stellura you met was also an incarnation.â
âOh, I remember reading that in a book in the Nether.â
âAnd the gatekeeper. The ancient one.â
So that was the case after all. It is an incarnation of Yog-Sothoth, so I wondered if it was.
It is like being checked by the goddess directly.
âI was wondering, but are Outer Ones limited to Stellura-sama?â
âHmm? No, theyâre not. But the Medium follows the goddess Stellura faith. The ones following the goddess SigrdrĂfa are sacred beasts. Goddess Harvenshis followers wereâŠ..sacred trees?â
âSacred beasts and sacred trees⊠Speaking of which, I saw a holy beast, what was that?â
âItâs like a candidate for a sacred beast. Or an apprentice, if you prefer.â
That must be why they were so intelligent.
Well, in other wordsâŠ.from the point of view of the surface, the impact of the Outer Ones who act as enforcers is too strong, so Outer One is equivalent to executioner. The influence of the book âStellura-sama and Darklight Speciesâ is also high.
However, in reality, the common name of those outside the circle of reincarnation is Outer One, while the name differs according to the object of worship and species.
Stellura-samaâs are the enforcers. SigrdrĂfa-samaâs are the sacred beasts. Harvenshis-samaâs are sacred trees. He looked a little unsure if sacred tree is correct, but since there is nothing else, weâll go with that for now.
The candidates for executors are Immortalâs. The candidates for the sacred beasts are holy beasts. I wonderâŠwhat is the candidate for a sacred tree.
When using «Identification», the only thing above the object of worship is âOuter Oneâ, so that might be why.
The Pope does not have much free time, so Iâll leave it at that.
âThen I will call again if there is anything else.â
âMm, later then.â
King Woofwoof disappears from the corner.
And the paladin who had been sent away a while ago has returned with a book, which is handed over.
âUmm, SireâŠ.ah, here it is. It was used long ago to address kings or rulersâŠ.
âThe people in Evernight Castle are quite oldâŠ.they may be from that era.â
âTheyâre Immortals, so itâs quite possibleâŠ.â
âWhen was this, by the way?â
âAbout 700 years ago.â
âLana is about 600âŠâŠand the Chancellor is probably a lot more than thatâŠ.so yes. People of that era.â
As for me, anything is fine, but I think that Her Majesty Nemeseia or Nemeseia-sama are the most normal, in terms of position. It doesnât feel right to be called Sire by anyone other than the Immortals.
âThenâŠ.are you fine with Nemeseia-sama?â
âYes, thatâs okay.â
After a little more talking, it seems the time has come for Her Holiness to leave. The head is usually busy. Itâs easy for me because the Chancellor does everything.
I see off Her Holiness Jasmine, say my goodbyes to Hanna-san and Priest Arne, then move to the Starting Town.
As expected of a Sunday lunchtime. So many people. Not many people can go to the capital yet, I guess. Well, most of the people are from the third batch, so it will be a while before they spread out.
HmmmâŠ.I have time, so even though itâs a little early, Iâll have lunch.
After lunch, and other things, I log back in.
âOh, Princess.â
âMmâŠOh, Shirabesuki-san. Good day.â
âJust right, Princess, do you have some time?â
âYes, I do. Iâm only trying to improve my skills.â
âOh, then please provide some information. You play the game quite a lot, Princess?â
âEh, I suppose I doâŠ..â
âI would like some information about the church. Specifically, Iâd like to write about it in the wiki.â
âAhâŠabout the Kress religion, is it?â
âYes. Princess is probably the one who knows the mostâŠâŠwas the unanimous decision of the verification team!â
âNot the ones who play priestsâŠ.?â
âHmâŠ.if you want to know about the inner workings of the organisation, thatâs fine, but weâre not the paparazzi. Have you seen the information on the update, Princess?â
âOh, itâs out. Not yet.â
âWith the next update, youâll be able to create things like guild websites and personal blogs. In-game, of course. So we, the verification team, decided to make a wiki.â
âAnd for that wiki, you want information to write on the page about the church.â
âYes!
From now on, rather than scouring the BBS, it would be better to go to the verification teamâs wiki. And so he wants information about the church. A wiki was a rough outline, was it.
The verification team have been a big help in putting together information, so I would like to help.
âNo problem. Iâll also give you information on the Nether and the Medium.â
âOh, that would be great! Then let me treat you.â
There seem to be coffee shops run by players, so we will move over there.
âWhich do you like better, a quiet shop run by an austere old man, or a slightly fairy-tale shop with a female clientele?â
âWhich one is better?â
âI think in the eyes of Princess it might be the former. The Ojou-sama group seems to go there a lot!â
âOh, Ellie and Abbie?â
âIt is expensive, but delicious. To be honest, I think thatâs his real job. In terms of fame though, it would be the latter shop.â
âDo you know the name of player that runs the former shop?â
âHmmâŠ.it was Magillas.â
âI see. Then letâs go there.â
So it was Magillas-san after all. Then thereâs no need to decide.
Itâs not a back alley, but itâs not a main street either. Itâs like a hidden store.
âWelcomeâŠ.Oh, hello there.â
âHello, Magillas-san. You have your own shop?â
âOnly recently.â
We sit down and order tea and cake.
Then, along with Shirabesuki-san I will organise the information.
âFirst of all, the church in this world follows the Kress religion, whose main deity is the creator god Creall-sama. Therefore, the symbol of the church is not a cross. I will leave aside the four pillars, including the main god.â
âYes. Weâre good on information on the gods for now.â
âThe head of the church, the Pope, is Her Holiness Jasmine Forster. It seems to have changed a while ago, so sheâs a woman in her thirties. I went to greet her this morning.â
âHoho. This religion doesnât seem to have gender restrictions.â
âRight. Maybe because the four pillars are goddesses? Lucianna-san in the Starting Town is an archbishop. Sheâs third from the top in the church.â
âHuh. Tell me more about job titles.â
âI know of Pope, Cardinal, Chief Archbishop, Archbishop, Bishop, Priest, Deacon, Friar and Nun.
ââŠ.Catholic?â
âMaybe it was, originally. Friars and nuns are apprentice priests. And thereâs an abbot, who is a teacher at the orphanage. Itâs more like a manager than a priest, but itâs pretty high up. Somewhere between a priest and a bishop.â
âHmmmâŠâŠâ
âFriars and nuns wear habits without embroidery. Red for deacons, green for priests, grey for bishops. The Pope, archbishops and deacons wear gold or yellow, but each has a different design. The colour of the habit itself represents the colour of the faith of the âindividualâ who wears it.â
âHmmmâŠ..Even as detailed as that. What is the colour of the object of worship?â
âThe colours of the four pillarsâ hair. Red, green, grey, gold (yellow) and white are the basic colours. If there is no specific one, it is dark blue and white. In the Starting Town, Lucianna-san is the only one Iâve seen who wears dark blue, with yellow embroidery.â
Well, in the first place, when you go to the church, you would usually only meet priests. Lucianna-san is usually in the back doing paperwork. She only shows up in the chapel when she is free. The chances of encountering her are not that high.
âAside from thatâŠ.would be mikoâs. The origin is âbeloved child of the goddessâ. In short, someone who has a blessing from a god.â
âDoes Princess have one too?â
âYes, I do. Blessed ones in general are called miko. More specifically, those blessed by SigrdrĂfa-sama are warriors, and those by Harvenshis-sama, saints.â
âAnd what about Creall-sama and Stellura-sama?â
âI donât know about Creall-sama, but it seems that those blessed by Stellura-sama are the origin of the name, so they are still called miko.â
âI seeâŠâŠâ
âApparently, there are different ranks for the miko, depending on the blessing, with blessing being third, protection second, and affection first.
âSocial status is difficult. What about you, Princess?â
âI have protection, so as a miko I would be second. I met Stellura-samaâs blind miko when I went to offer my greetings. She was also second. It seems that even protection is quite good.â
âAffection is very rare. Protection is considerably good. Blessing alone is just enoughâŠâ
âThey are not all clergy, they just have the backing of the church. The armed force of the churchâŠ..paladins. They serve as escort and caretaker.â
The rest would be about the Nether and the Medium, but honestly I donât know all that much, so I will share information on the races I have witnessed, for the time being.
âHohoâŠ. the Chancellor is an Aversa Elder LichâŠ..â
âThe female hero who came out during the sports day event, Svetlana Granin Einherjar. Sheâs a great hero from the southern Dinite Empire, about 600 years ago. Sheâs in charge of the army in the Nether. Also my swordsmanship teacher.â
âOh, thatâs right. There was some talk about the similarity in stance. But 600 years is a long timeâŠ.â
And the races I saw in the Medium.
âMoonbeast, Hound of Tindalos, King of Tindalos and Shoggoth are confirmed. According to a story told by management there are also Ladies of Sorrow.â
âThere is an old castle in the Medium, similar to Evernight Castle, but the Chancellor was Nyar-sama.â
âNyarlathotep!â
âHe was dressed as a priest, by the way.â
ââŠ..Priest Nyar?â
âPerhaps⊠I havenât seen anything dull yellow yet.â
âMaybe the main body.â
âThereâs also Mi-go and Yith. I havenât seen it yet, but thereâs Râlyeh, so Cthulhu. And I heard the name Cthuga from Nyar-sama, so probably Hastur too.â
âThe Medium was really a Cthulhu collection.â
âItâs likeâŠ.an area created for the Cthulhu mythos. I heard that Mi-go and Yith are engineers with a friendly relationship, who created the prototype of the Machinery race.â
âSeriously?â
âI would think so, because I heard it from Mhâithrha, the overlord of Tindalos. It seems to be a lost technology, ancient ruin kind of thing now, but it was from their time.â
âThatâs a scoop! What about the Machinery?â
âI wonder if they evolved after that.â
âMaybe after they developed an egoâŠâŠ Well, I think thatâs enough information. Thanks a lot.â
âNo, thank you for the food.â
I had been eating while we talked. As expected of Magillas-san. Very tasty.
âLady, please accept this service.â
âOh, thank you very much.â
âAnd your companion, please.â
âThank you.â
Itâs delicious.
âSo there are things like this here tooâŠ.. Itâs good.â
âWell, heâs a three-star chef.â
ââŠSeriously? That three-star?â
âIt is probably what youâre thinking.â
âThatâs why itâs so goodâŠ.â
âI didnât ask why heâs playing the game, because thatâs a real life issue, but I have no problem with it because itâs good food.â
âThatâs true too.â
As I eat, I also summarise some information about witches. I still donât know much, though. Mostly just about the rank and name of the witch.
After I finish eating, it is time to withdraw, because I have nothing more to do here.
âThank you, Princess, it was a huge help.â
âThatâs alright, thank you too.â
âSee you later.â
I leave the shop, part with Shirabesuki-san, then head out to level up.
Time to raise «Rope», while collecting capacity.
