Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence
Episode 264: Chamber of Secrets
Safe The Skulls' retreating Seiya and Rona were going down the boulevard as if nothing had happened. But as opposed to the two of them behaving like nothing, the people around them weren't outspoken, but they were looking at the flirtatious and the Saiyas.
Not only did the D-rank adventurers defeat the B-rank adventurers, but there was a question in their chests as to who the hell they were because they didn't make a particularly offensive attack. If Seyya were the next Great Demon King Lucifer here, and the Spirit of the Night Luna next to him was in the Killer Mountains. To say the least, they would lose their hips without exception, but of course they are not going to reveal who they are to Seyya.
Because it was still better to be exposed to curiosity than to be poorly identified and targeted in the neck. That said, they decided to go into a nearby cafe because they were too concerned about a lot of gaze on the boulder.
It was one of the leading luxury cafes in the Dacrea Empire, a place where no one, from clerks to customers, would turn a blatant glance at the Saiyas like the others earlier.
"Welcome"
When the two enter the store, a man in a neat uniform comes in response.
"It's the two of us."
"Yes, I did. We'll have a private room."
"No, you don't have to do that"
Apparently, this clerk saw one earlier. I guess this clerk has gained quite a bit of experience around being able to make a decision as soon as he sees people asking about Saiyas from outside the store and has a private room.
But if you try it on the Saiyas, I won't let you do that.
"No, we are the place to provide our guests with a safe and relaxing space. It may sound selfish to say this, but it's also for us to bring our guests into our private rooms."
I mean, this is what he's trying to say. When Saiya and the others are normally in the store, Saiya becomes concerned, making them less relaxed. Therefore, the presence that attracted attention was also convenient on the part of the store to go through the private rooms.
"I don't know what else to do if they say so much."
"Thank you for your kind offer."
That said, the two of them were put through a private room in the back of the store. Seiya wonders what the hell this private room, with its double doors and soundproofing measures, would be used for, but didn't feel like asking the clerk. Because I knew how to use it somehow.
"Then call me at your bell as soon as you decide to place your order"
When the male clerk went outside with the menu and call bell down, Rona, who had kept her mouth shut until then, began to speak roughly.
"These stores are mostly used for confidential meetings."
"I knew you meant that."
Rona answers Seiya's question as if she knew. Even so, with such facilities in the cafe, it would be something everyone would wonder about.
"Keith used to use it a lot."
"You're not gonna discuss it in that hall?
"That's what some people don't get."
Lorna answers in a meaningful way.
"Let's just order it"
"Right."
Before Saiya hears its sincerity, she starts thinking about what Rona will ask for by expanding the menu.
"Shall I make my concubine this Millefeuil?"
"That was fast."
About thirty seconds until Rona decides to look at the menu. Seiya is surprised by its shortness, but as for Rona, it was more strange to worry about.
"Millefeuil here is fantastic."
"You've been here before?
"Well. Not nearly twenty years ago."
Seiya is surprised by the unexpected answer. Twenty years ago, it was before Seyya was still born. Looks like this cafe has been open for twenty years.
"So you have a recommendation?
"Right. This tea is famous. I don't know about food."
"That's a lot of mess."
"My concubine doesn't eat here but Millefeuil."
Apparently, Rona likes Millefeuil in this store a lot. Seiya makes me want to ask for Millefeuil too when they say that, but I don't think Seiya should ask for something different than asking for the same one here.
"I'm worried about this crepe, why don't you replace it a little?
"Well, crepe. It wasn't there 20 years ago."
Rona compares the menu in memory twenty years ago to the one now in front of her. That look looks fun somewhere.
"Fine. That's what you do."
"Okay, it's settled"
When Seiya rang the bell placed on the table and called the clerk, who decided what to ask for, she quickly ordered her share and Lorna's.
And when the clerk leaves, Seiya shrugs.
"Can you hear the ringing bell even though it's completely soundproof"
That was a simple question, but it would be serious. It would be too dangerous to deal with classified matters if they were also eavesdropping.
"That's because the magic formation is engraved on that call bell."
"Magic Formation?
If you look closely, the bell was indeed engraved with something like a magic formation.
"It's a magic formation of wind attributes that communicates the vibrations of air different from sound to the other room."
"Well, that's handy."
Seiya admires the hidden function of the call bell. The technique could not be reproduced in Leiria.
So you're saying this room is just right for the meeting?
I think maybe the radicals are having discussions in these cafes, too, Seiya. Again Rona answers such a seiya in a meaningful tone.
"Well, for other purposes, it's meeting a woman."
"Does that mean my father was doing the same?
"hehe, I don't know about that"
Seeya is sure when she sees Rona's reaction. that his own father, Keith-Lucifer, had used such a private room in a luxury café for intimate meetings with women. And the person you have to do so is probably Seyya's mother.
There exists in Seyya's body the light attributes that exist only in Leiria and the magic of the dark attributes that exist only in Dacrya. Leaving aside the sacred and night attributes, Seyya's ability to use light and darkness meant that Seyya's parents could use light and darkness.
It is common sense in this world that magic is hereditary. The aptitude for magical attributes, which I specialize in in in particular, is prone to parental aptitude in color. Although exceptions exist, such as the fact that Seiya's contract with Lily allows her to use the magic of water attributes, she basically takes over the propriety of her parents.
And Seyya's father and Keith-Lucifer's righteousness is a dark attribute. As far as Sayer remembers, Keith has never used light attributes. There is one conclusion to be drawn from it. It means that Seyya's mother had an appropriateness for light attributes.
Seyya had repeatedly regained her memory since the example incident where she regained her dark attributes, but it still didn't mean she regained them entirely. But because there was no one around Seyya to know about Seyya's childhood, he could not even try to fill in his memory.
But not now. Seyya's presence in front of her is like a sister who knows Seyya's childhood well, and knows Seyya's parents well. No one could have been better suited to hear the truth. So Seyya opened her mouth to solve her own mystery.
"Hey, Rona. What happened to my parents?
