Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (WN)

130: The snatched light

- [Holy Land Ordine].

Where once summoned by this world [Idea] is said to have saved the troubled 'human race' and fulfilled its full life expectancy.

All the white-toned buildings stand side by side, but in them a temple that is both large and, overall, tidy with beauty releases its presence as a symbol.

The name of the temple is called the "Grand Temple of Ordine", which is also where the "Human Nation" and the "Demon Nation" went to the Alliance talks some time ago.

That place became a bitter memory for both, but the cleric chief, Portonis Gilbitti, was attentive to repairing the building that was damaged by the earlier dispute.

Portnis is a beautiful woman who draws the blood of Rownis Gilbitti, who served as the First Cleric Chief, a fellow brave man who has come in the past.

Though past thirty years old, his tense white skin and clear eyes held what the clergyman deserved without making him feel old.

"Phew..."

The way the sighs leak out of that neat look is unusual for Portnis, who doesn't break his usual Rin stand-up.

But Portnis couldn't help but hold his head.

It is still about the tragedy that took place during the break-up of the Alliance.

Fortunately, the temple remained almost intact, but many of the buildings beside it had been destroyed by Rudolph, the king of the 'human race', who had suddenly transformed.

Moreover, the building is not the only place where many soldiers and clerics have died involved.

Something happened that should not be a sacred place, and he spared no time working while he slept in its post-processing, etc.

(The report says [Victorias] is reassuring because that Judom seems to have managed to wrap it up, but that's just the people's story...)

The paperwork at hand was a letter sent by Judom, [Victorias] 's guild master, the other day.

He's cared a lot about this one since then.

It may be coming from the burden of not preventing the breakdown of the talks and not even stopping the King's rampage...

(It would be harder for me......)

The seriousness of bringing the country together is not entirely understandable to Portnis.

But he thinks he has enough qualities. I laughed bitterly when I said that this was the most important time, but I thought that my personality was the same as that of distracting me elsewhere this way.

(But it's going to be, what's really hard about it)

Judom is a man of distinguished king's talent, but he is of low stature. Although he is a civilian but a guild master, the adventurers and the people who are familiar with his achievements support him, the other nobles will be a little troublesome.

Civilians stand on top. That is nothing more than intolerable for the nobles who have so far looked down on the civilian population. The question arises as to how to deal with that collection of grievances.

(He has a hard time believing people too much... but I can't help him now)

You can't leave here now. Because I have a place to protect myself. I'm looking after him, and I'd like to support him, but I resent this situation.

A gentle sigh of sigh drifted a sweet smell of flowers from somewhere.

While I thought it was strange because there were no flowers anywhere, after a while I didn't care any more because the smell was gone.

I felt uncomfortable staring at the paperwork for a little while.

The time now should hear the sound of a hammer tapping the building being repaired.

Are you taking a break?

I thought so, but it's too quiet. I felt the silence as if everyone was asleep at night now.

Clear the paperwork into the desk drawer and move your feet towards the window. And I lost my word to the sight I could see from there.

From there I can check just near the entrance to the temple, where many worshippers should have come every day.

It was a little less because of that incident, but still not in numbers like one or two.

Even today, quite a few people are visiting, and it is not yet a time for people to interrupt. And yet, moving my eyes as far as I could see through the window, I couldn't find anyone.

"Duh, what do you mean...?

It didn't exactly turn out to be an anomaly, but I didn't know how to take action on that too deviant situation.

- Tons.

I suddenly hear a knock on the door, and I turn around ha-ha.

Usually I wonder if any clerics have come, but because of this situation, that knock sounded terribly distorted.

It even makes me feel like I'm listening to something impossible past my head.

But the knock sounds arrived again and I accidentally replied with a trembling "yes" voice.

Then the chattering door knob is turned. Nature and gaze can be directed at someone beyond that door.

There - something creepy existed that covered his whole body with a robe in black.

Who...? And I try to move my mouth to ask questions, but I'm speechless.

My body got stiff and I couldn't move one.

And the robe in black slowly enters the room.

Behind it was another person dressed similarly. Looks like it was a pair.

(Hey, what are these people...!?

Very creepy, I feel nothing but fear. I want to follow my desire to escape the scene, but my body doesn't move.

What the hell did you come here for?

No, are these the ones who created this incredible situation in the first place?

While questioning, observe the two figures, but suddenly one person momentously stripped off the robe in black,

"Hey, hey, hey! Heaven asks, earth asks, man asks! The world mourns with who is beautiful in Psycho! That's right, I'm not who I am!

…………………………………………………?

He was as if he were playing a scene of a stage play so exaggerated as this.

The sparkling gemstone-like stone was embellished in bright white clothing, and the presence, assuming it stood out, was so intense that I accidentally stepped back.

"You know my name, don't you? Yeah, you can't possibly not know that, can you? Because... yes! Because I'm beautiful!

Suddenly he said, "Oh!," he puts his hand on his head and decides to pose.

"Oh... what a sinner I am... this fame that even reaches a man who doesn't even know anyone, even though he doesn't even have a name! Oh, I'm so scared of myself... that I wonder if one day people will die because of this beauty!

He is holding his body with both hands by rotating his circle and body.

The wavy, golden long hair, which is certainly tall and will surely be carefully cared for from day to day, is beautiful.

Plus, if you're a woman with a face, you're neat enough to dye your cheeks if you're compelled to.

But......

"Oh! What a sinful fool I am!

Without this creepy knee-jerk move and depressingly narcissistic behavior...... I do look good......

"... shut the fuck up for a second, fuckin 'man"

Shortly afterwards, words were released from another black figure towards the narcissist.

The voice felt somewhat frustrated. But unlike narcissists, she looks like a woman.

"Ahaha! Fine, let me forgive you for calling me a fucking man! Because I know it's seclusion! Then bear with it! I guess I would be too dazzled by the dirty eyes that fit in that crude face! I know, I know! You really want to call me too, don't you? About me... Reino Beauty (Bi) with Johnny!

"Who's calling!

"Ahaha! You don't have to light it up! Yes, I'm Reiki Beauty, Johnny! Visioney Olburn means me. Come on!

I started spinning my body again, as if no one's voice was on my teeth.

"Oh, already! Why am I combing with such a fucking man!

"Ahaha! What an honor! Come on!"

"Dishonorable!

Apparently it's a pretty chig-hugging combination, but it looses the power of the body.

I accidentally put my hand on my throat, and when I made sure that my voice would speak,

"Oh, who are you guys? What are you doing here?

Portnis finally thinks he can ask the questions he wanted to ask and asks first.

And it was the louder person who answered that.

"Oh... you are quite beautiful too... but unfortunately not to me much! Because I..."

"Enough, shut up. Bokeh!

When the person in black said so, he turned his body to this one and sighed heavily.

"You're Rownis Gilbitti's blood, aren't you?

"............... what is that?

"Then you naturally know... about the Naos Light."

"Huh!?

"Haha, I knew better with that reaction"

I thought I did. I was alarmed because I didn't think it was a word spinning from them like a thief.

"No way you guys..."

"No way. The Atashi came to receive the Light. No, not to get it... to take it away?

I feel hostile to that word and deed and accidentally find myself,

"Haha, I can't. You're already in Atashi's surgery."

"Huh...?

Then there's a glitch in front of me and a broken knee.

"Ooh! That's quite a beautiful posing! But I'm better!

The man who named himself Visioney while saying so likewise knelt down on one knee, with his left hand on his forehead, and his right hand raised high,

"Is this the real posing? What do you say, beautiful?

Kieran and I are going to show off our white teeth, but this one wasn't quite there.

I'm dizzy and nauseous, and most importantly, I can't breathe. Symptoms like alpine disease that fell when climbing high mountains were attacking Portnis.

"Well, here's your next one"

A person in black takes out a circle of flowers from his nostalgia.

And when I shake it gently, a small particulate thing descends on the portvarnish.

"Come on, let's get some answers, where's the Light?

What Portnis saw was the face of a girl with a pleasantly raised corner of mouth.

A black figure descends the cutlet and the long spiral staircase.

The person appeared in front of Portnis earlier.

"I wish I could keep an eye on that fucking man."

Portnis told me where the "Namale Light" was and I was on my way.

I've left Visioney, a combination, as a lookout so that someone doesn't come, but I'm even anxious to see if she can do her job well.

(But I didn't know there was such an underground hidden in the temple.)

What surprised me was that there was a hidden staircase directly beneath the altar, which was also located in the temple, especially in the "Between the Sanctuaries", where the power supposedly left by the brave was powerful.

(This land cannot use magic. They say that, for one thing, is the potency that brave men prepare for in exchange for their own lives...)

At the end of the staircase, at the end of his eyes was a large reclining door.

"So there's a sole in this..."

I'll get close to the door and touch it gently. I don't think it's going to open when I push it with all my strength. I don't feel any magical power, but it looks like it's locked tightly in thick iron armor.

"... it sure doesn't seem like normal force can open it. But..."

Take another round of flowers out of your nose.

The flower had rounded tips like buds, but when I thought it had flowered immediately, for some reason there were all the biscuits and sharp fangs on the inside.

And you start moving gudges and petals like you're moving your mouth.

"I asked for the Iron Eater."

Throw a few "Iron Eating Grass" at the door. "Iron Eating Grass" bit the door and surprisingly started eating the door looking mushy and delicious.

"I can't use magic here, but Atashi's isn't magic. That's why they let me come here."

I think I'll just wait a while after that. I sat down on the wall.

(Still, this is a quiet place)

Whether a person is in a place like this can be a problem, but that's not the point. Being in this place calms the mind and nature.

(Quiet [Holy Land] to keep the dispute away...... right. If a brave man really had that in mind, he wouldn't hide an array in a land that doesn't make any sense like this)

Legend has it that when the brave man died, he poured his own body into the land by turning it into light.

Originally the land was unclean, filled with marshes of venom and many fierce monsters.

The brave man wanted the land to be a clean land and supposedly squeezed his last strength to purify the dirty land.

Then the land grew many grasshoppers, making it a natural abundance far from before.

The monsters didn't lean on the land, they couldn't use magic, they couldn't even release magic from their bodies to the outside.

He decided that this was what the brave man's will to peace had made him do, and called it a [holy place] there, and built a building that honored the brave man.

That is the Grand Temple of Ordine.

It was the heart of the land and built in the place that left the power of the brave most powerful.

(If he was truly extraordinary as the brave man tells us, he could have had a wider effect than just such a narrow and painful range)

When the person in black stands up slowly, he looks to the part with the door.

There were enough holes there for one person to go through. Is the floor full or is there an "iron eating grass" that is gepping like Osama does?

"Well done, you guys."

When I gave him just one word as he went through the hole, "Iron Eating Grass" suddenly misted like smoke.

(Now, how could a brave man have tried to protect a place like this until he used his life...)

Go inside and make sure there are four stone columns standing.

And at the center of it was an object that shaped a large vessel, on which was floating in the universe with a light.

(Is this the lamp of Naos?)

Looks like a fireball. The fireball is present in a round object like a chavon ball.

Trying to get closer, the robe in black is going to ash.

"Hmm, I see. Can't you use a magical weapon?"

The knife that was lowered to the waist was also lined up.

"Is it the power of guardianship that should be feared..."

It was a yellow-green bob-cut woman with winning eyes who revealed her face from a robe in black. The tip of the hair is discolored into gradients from yellow green to an even lighter color.

But surprisingly, there are several transparent bottles that are worn to wrap around the waist. The bottle is filled with flowers, grass, etc.

"I'm going to waste the robe your majesty gave me, and I'm going to hit that fucking man eight times later."

Put your hands in a vial and when you take out the flowers, place them on the floor.

Then the flower gradually grows, and the girl rides on the petal. Keep approaching Gungun and the "Naos Light".

Then he takes the flowers out of the vial again, and points the flowers at the "Lamp of Naos". Then the petals grow and gently envelop the sole.

"All right, now you're done."

Open your eyes thinly, as you are finally free from the darkness.

Someone's talking gets in my ear and I'm hacked trying to awaken my consciousness.

When I woke up in a hurry, there was a strange girl in front of me who had a narcissist and a bottle attached to her hips.

Portnis looks at the narcissist visionary, then at the girl.

Looks like they noticed this one over there, too.

"Oh...... can't you wake up more beautifully? Here we go. Here we go!

Suddenly laying on the floor, Visioney kept smiling as she seemed a little careless, and just a little bit of her chest.

"Mmm... good morning, isn't that a berry-good morning, Mademoiselle?

I wanted you to be clear and not look at this one anymore. Because I feel a little nauseous.

"You can leave this mess alone. By the way, you."

Hear the voice and decide she is identical to the person in black. I can't believe a girl like this would do something like a thief. I blush my face.

"I got the light."

"Become!?

I'm going to show you a round of flowers. And out of the flowers closed like buds, there was a pale light that I had seen.

"No way... Huh!?

"I'm sorry, but I can't show you what's inside. It's going to be a lot of trouble if we show up here."

No, I didn't have to be sure. Portnis understood.

That it is the "lamp of the naos" that fits in its buds.

I've been entrusted with guardianship for years. It conveys that it is real with the senses.

"Or don't give it back!

So you can't give it to them who are thieves here.

"Non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non non

Visioney waves her index finger.

"Hey, what..."

"In this situation, can you do something that you're not even a fighter? Well, if it's beautiful, I might have worked it out... too bad! You're inferior to me!

It's time for me to get really upset.

Even if you look like this, you're an old woman, you're attentive to your appearance, and you're praised for being beautiful by the people you meet. And yet, come on, I find myself irritated by this man's words and actions as a woman.

"Ha, you, you're just tired when you're dealing with him. More than that, you can't move off the spot, can you?

"Huh?"

It's the first time I've noticed it since I was told. Again, you can't move like your whole body is stiff. And there was a yellow flower in her hand at some point.

"... Oh, what's this scent!?

"Oh, have you finally noticed? Yes, the scent emanating from this flower. This is Fantasy Grass. Now you're in the illusion that Atashi created. Oh, I'll tell you what, because this isn't magic. This is just how effective it is."

I freak out when I see her laughing like a nigga having fun.

Even though she was still a girl, the grin felt something thin.

"Well, I'm done for now, so the Atasis are going. I'll name it once and for all in honor of the fact that I still endure this Fantasy Grass. Atashi is a Kainabi affiliated with Matal Deus. Kainabi Fonia."

"If Kainabi named you, I'll name you too! Heaven asks, earth asks."

"You'd already have named me, you fuckin 'mens!

"Ahaha! I'll name you again and again, but I'm beautiful! Come on, Kainabi, let's make that sorry face of yours glow!

"Ha!?

"Okay?.................. Visionies can't beat beauties...... Visionies can't beat Visionies...... Pup! Ahaha! Visionie's joke! This is the beauty joke of rumors!

"... oh, enough. No, because I'm getting a headache"

Portnis wholeheartedly agrees with Kainabi's whining. Leaving aside the visionary dancing as a delight, Kainabi turns his gaze to Portnis again to get in shape.

"This is goodbye. When you wake up, you'll have a different sense of common sense."

An irresistible sleeper attacked me, nature and my eyelids descended and I was engulfed in darkness.

And when I woke up, I was dressed like I was napping on a chair.

As much as I wondered if it was an unexpected event in my dreams, I could hear the sound of repairs and people's voices as usual outside without anything.

In consciousness, however, an overwhelming sense of reality sounded the alarm intensely.

A cold sweat erupted all over his body and he immediately headed down the underground stairs to "Between the Sanctuaries". That's where I see it. Know the fact that everything was real and it was over.

Holes empty like insects on doors. Inside, Potun and objects showed their existence, as they lost what they protected.

(Oh... I'm sorry, Master Rownis...)

Items drip on the spot and reinforce regret. Outside, the scenery remains the same as usual, reflecting everyday life.

But the routine was certainly in a different sense than before.

It does not change that it is protected by the power of the brave. But what the brave man tried to protect no longer existed here.

Her, as Kainabi said, only Portnis, who knows this truth, was to spend the future with a different sense of common sense.
