Chapter 91: Those Who Open the Darkness of The World Part 1
\nHnngh, that was a good nap! I felt as though I was having a nightmare halfway through it, but all in all I was feeling rather refreshed. So for now I turn off my mobile device.
ăNow thenâŠâŠ Oh well, I can ask the two of them what the hell they wanted with me tomorrow.ă
Right now, I would like Break to take me to the Old Man again so I can have a word with him. Not that itâs anything urgent or important, but I just wanted to do it for the heck of it. Consider it a gamerâs privilege.
Speaking of my real intentions, I was getting a feeling that my real goal would take a really long amount of time to complete it, so for now I wanted to postpone the inevitable.
ăSaraku-san! Good morning!ă
ăItâs night technically, but it doesnât matter all that muchâŠâŠ Now then, isnât the thing we are looking for located inside of the Ancient Ruins? Letâs go there and try to look for it!ă
ăOh, about that! Thereâs something I must tell you, Sanraku-san!ă
Hmm? Tell me something? I wonder whatâs this all about?
While striking some strange kind of a pose Emul thrusts his hand forward and to the sky. Hmm? Where have I seen that before?
ăCalled me!? Oh Fair Maiden! Just the fact that you step on me is enough for me! Not bad, if I do say so myselfâŠâŠ Or maybe I should go with something a little more normal⊠Ouch, ouch, uuch, ouch!!!!ă \năThere must be something seriously wrong with your head if youâre having preferences like thatâŠâŠ Oh well, if you want me to step on you, I can happily oblige just this once.ă
ăOhooo, my spiiiiiiiiine!ă
Ah, oh yeah, right. Better to turn my eyes away. Iâm pretty much sure that this sight is not something I want to have permanently burned in my mind for the rest of my life.
By the way, even if you are logged out of the game the time will advance like it normally would, so youâre telling me heâs been practicing this whole shtick all this time?
ăThat being said, Aramis? Even youâre here?ă
ăI came here to deliver you your jewels. AnythingâŠâŠ *Cough*, *cough*, aaaa~, aaa~. I see! Adventure is the means by which every Maiden can reach new, previously unexplored grounds! If itâs like that and you insist on me tagging along, then I guess thereâs nothing I can say but to agree! So worry not! For it is I, the âHoly Swordâ herself that shall assist you and cut any enemy that dares to stand in your way!ă
She says while taking out her rapier again and striking a pose. I see, so Emul was trying to imitate her antics, huh? But anywaysâŠâŠ This means that Aramis will temporarily join our party, huh?
ăWell, itâs fine with me, butâŠâŠ Should we readjust our strategy now that we have more people on board? No, butâŠâŠă
If I was to take two level ninety characters with me to the Ruins that would make capturing them easy as pieâŠâŠ No, maybe it would even be too easy. Where would be fun in that?
But since right now we have a concrete goal of obtaining âMagical Unity Unitâ some additional help may not be so bad after all. \năRight, letâs do just that. Letâs go, my Comedic Duo!ă
ăWho is a Comedic Duo here!?ă
ăOoooh! Thatâs Sanraku for you! I see that nothing can get past those stern eyes of yours! âŠâŠ Nyaaaaaagggggghhhhhh!? My ribs!?ă
I donât know why, but for some reason Emul was now stepping all over the black catâŠâŠ
Anyways, even though she seemed to be enjoying this quite a lot, there were some things I needed to confirm with her.
ăI heard from Emul that you can be a good addition to our team.ă
ăHm? Oh, yeah, yeah, thatâs right. But it is not just my whimsical wish. You can call it the will of all Catzeria. After all, we must repay you in kind for your gift, Sanraku-san.ă
ăGift? Huh? I didnât give you any gifts, so whyâŠâŠă
ăAllow me to explain, lad.ă
Suddenly even Break was here? And she took over from Emul to step all over Aramis? What is going on here? She then beckoned me with her paw to lend her my ear.
\năEnough to cause a war or two without a problem.ă
But it has little to no effect on humansâŠâŠ Ah, no, or could it be that only us Pioneers are special and others have to suffer because of that?ă
ăAnd especially since you are someone who was recognized by the Night ProwlerâŠâŠ I think that would be enough of a reason for Werewolves and Lizardmen to want to come to peace with us.ă
To think that one action like that could have the power to affect entire nations like thisâŠâŠ While I was still trying to comprehend all of that information, Break let out a heavy sigh, apparently thinking I was hopeless.
ăWell, being either a hero of the world or an enemy to the whole world is a new thing for meâŠâŠ Oh well, shall we go?ă
ăSure thingâŠâŠ Oi! Get up already!ă
ăMy head! My head is filled with so much bliss right now!ă
Why are you even smiling like that?
