Maou Gakuin No Futekigousha
Solar eclipse
The merchant shrugged, looking like he had pasted despair on him.
"... of what kind of curse... what the hell is this, a guy who can decurse me, I don't want as much..."
The merchant lags behind, shaking his feet with rattles.
And he ran away at first sight.
"Hmm. That's how you react when you find out you can't break the curse."
I snap my throat.
"You look like a demon king."
Sasha brings in unwanted tea.
"Isn't that what you look like?"
Pointing that out, she smiled like she had made it.
"I'm soothed. He thinks money is everything, he hates it."
"What, it's a body that's never had anything to do with gold again. I just have to change my mind."
"Are you serious?
I don't think that merchant will ever change his mind.
"Otherwise, you will only die slowly. Some people can't face themselves if their lives are at stake. It's a trivial trigger. Two thousand years ago, some people grew up to be called saints after such experiences"
Sasha shifted her gaze to her sister after she looked at me like she was scared.
"What do you think, Misha?
Misha thought still for a while and said it was pompous.
"... dying..."
"If you're only going to live your faith and die of gold, it's his way of life again."
Sasha can't seem to block her open mouth.
"I don't think we're gonna die like that... but there's definitely a miserable, miserable end to this."
"Sounds like Anos"
Misha said pale.
"... Ahhh..."
Speaking and turning around, the girl in the hood earlier was there.
"Thank you, thank you for your help."
Without giving in, she laughs.
"What, not enough to be thanked. I need to ask you something."
Soon she looked back at me.
"What?"
"Do you know how to get to Ahalthern, the Great Spirit Forest?
Then the girl grabbed my hand with both hands.
"Will you believe me?
Hmm. That's an unexpected reaction.
"Believe it or not, I know ahalthern exists"
"Huh...?
The girl turned her eyes round.
"Maybe you've been there?
"Oh."
When I said so, the girl ate even more.
"Really? When?"
"The last time I went, it was 2,000 years ago."
"Two thousand years ago...?
The girl opened her eyes as she was surprised again.
"Well, you don't have to believe that. I need to know the rumors to get to Ahalthern. If you know how to get to Ahalthern, why don't you tell me about it?
Then the girl leaned down to contemplate.
"Whatever, I'm not saying it's just that. Let's get you what you want."
She looks up and turns her strong gaze to me.
"So instead of teaching me how to get to Ahalthern, why don't you take me with you?
Wow. This is another unexpected offer.
"Well, it's easy to take, but what's the use in ahalthern?
The girl shut up.
No heart, or I think my expression sank.
"If you can't tell me, I won't force you to ask"
The girl leaned down and opened her mouth quietly.
"... I don't know..."
"What do you not know?
Shut up for a moment, then the girl said.
"... I might say something strange..."
"Let's promise never to laugh"
Face up, staring me in the eye, the girl grinned nicely.
"You're a good man, you are"
"Really?
Kokuri and the girl nodded and looked strange again.
"It's me, I lost my memory..."
"Well, that's a tricky thing to do."
"When I realized, I was in this city... and I think I had something to do, but I can't remember..."
She speaks softly.
"But if you're walking through this city, you'll hear rumors about the Great Spirit Forest Ahalthern. I remember. I have to go to Ahalthern. I don't remember why, but I feel like something really important is out there."
"Do you want to remember?
When Misha asked, the girl nodded.
"I think I forgot something I shouldn't. I'm sure there's a clue in Ahalthern."
I see.
Well, that doesn't seem malicious.
From what I've seen, I can't even feel the great magic.
It is forbidden to be alarmed, but there is no harm in taking them.
"What are we going to do?
Sasha asks me.
"Fine. I'll take you all the way to Ahalthern."
"Honestly! Thanks!"
The girl laughed naively, holding my hand again, and let it go up and down.
"So what's going on with the key way to Ahalthern?
"Yeah. That said, I don't entirely know if this is the right answer, but I'll explain it in order. First of all, the Spirit is a creature born of rumors and inheritance, and Ahalthern is a spiritual inheritance called the Great Spirit Forest."
"One thing, okay?
Something bothered me, I asked.
"Who told you that spirits are born of rumors and inheritance?
"Oh, I didn't hear this from anyone. Before I lost my memory, I thought I knew. So I'm pretty sure I was involved in spirits and ahalthern."
Demons are less involved with spirits.
It should have been even less involved since the wall was formed in the world. The fact that he knew that by rumors and inheritance, the Spirit would arise is not so much the demon tribe of this era.
No - you're not a demon in the first place, are you?
"Go on."
"Oh, yeah. So, Ahalthern's rumors change the way he goes. That's why I worked as an informant and gathered all sorts of rumors. One of the many rumors was that Ahalthern is in the Lisharis Meadows. Then, there was the Zienus mine. I think it's one of these."
"We know to the point that the place is Lisharis Meadow. Were there any rumors that the fog could stand up?
"Yeah. There it is. I guess there were the most rumours that the moon covered the sun and while the day was night, an incredible mist stood up on the Lisharis Meadows"
"Hmm. Well, that sounds likely."
"Uh, wait a minute"
Sasha says as she puts her hand on her forehead.
"What do you do when the moon covers and hides the sun?
"Eclipse?"
And Misha shrugs.
"You rarely come here like that, do you? Wait till then?
"Oh, I looked into that, too. The next eclipse starts at 12: 27 in nine days and lasts about three minutes."
The Lisharis Meadow is not so far from the Delzo Gate.
Is that why Nousgaria set a limit of ten days for expedition exams?
"Well, then, you can try it."
"Make fairies laugh in less than three minutes?
Misha says.
"That's the problem, isn't it? What are you gonna do, laugh?
Sasha turns her gaze on the girl, she said.
"You mean make a prank-loving spirit laugh, right? Maybe the fairy is a spirit named Titi, but the kids love new things, so it's a powerful rumor that they laugh when they show something novel."
"Even if they say it's novel..."
What is new to Fairy Titi is the question.
"Well, you can try. Let's go, Misha. Reward the Rays."
"Mmm."
Give them both hands.
"Let's go... you heard what I was saying, right? The next eclipse is in nine days, right? There's nothing you can do about it now."
"No problem."
"No problem..."
I give back my palm and concentrate my magic.
He deployed a multiplicity of magic formations with about 100 layers of magic formations and let his fingertips creep in there.
"" Mori Luo Wan Palm (I Gneath) "
My right hand wraps a pale glow.
It crosses the distance, the magic of holding and mastering all things in this hand.
With the hands of Mori Luo Wan Palm (I Gneath), I grab the sky all the time.
And I slowly moved my arm.
"... lying... right...?
Sasha takes a breath in the sight in front of her.
Part of the sun is missing.
"... the moon is moving..."
Misha stares at that empty moon.
Her demonic eye would have found out that the hand of < Mori Luo Wan Palm (I Gneath) > is making the moon twitch.
"Hmm. That's not so light."
If you put magic on your feet, step all the way down the earth, and move your arms a little bit, eventually, the sun hid completely behind the moon.
Everyone looks up to heaven to see what the people who go to and from each other are doing.
The day was turning into the night.
"Understand?
Give Sasha another hand as she looks up at the sky.
"One of the stars, I can't move. It's not me. Let's go."
