Trinitas Mundus

Lesson 28: Luna's Scheme

Tria Calendar February 8, 2026.

Three hundred and fifty km (Kimmel) north of Zaleshe, the capital of the Ghost Nation, where Luberna, the capital of the Moon Demon Nation, was.

A single decree rushed into the silenced capital. He is a Little Ghost Warrior under the command of the Moon Demon Spellman Varma Niska.

More than half a month after leaving the western invasion base of the village of Leriche on January 20th, he finally arrived even though he ran for a run and wore out.

Six hundred and fifty kimmels from Leriche to Luberna, the streets of the harsh midwinter were full of danger, and while encountering fierce snowstorms and dangerous demons, they rushed through alone, and saw Elise Nortia, the “Witch of the Moon”, and delivered reports of the “Son of the Moon” recapture directly.

Elise was in a good mood and said, "Thank you. Rest easy," says the Little Ghost Warrior. The priests who received the report with her during the sight doubted their own eyes. The supreme leader of the electorate-conscious Moon Demon Nation is of the Ghost Nation, which also does not speak to a single soldier, usually just a glance.

The surprise of such clerics also easily vanished into the great news of the recapture of the Son of the Moon.

For the Moon Demons, the Son of the Moon is exactly synonymous with the Dark God (Noctis), and he rejoiced at the imminent coming of God.

"Your Son must pick you up," he says, leaving the priests to choose, and himself offers a prayer of gratitude to God in the Temple of Darkness.

(Our grief will finally be fulfilled, won't it? To those in the west who drove us away like demons, to lay down the hammer of God upon all others who believe in God...)

The priests decide to send Keira Lyvio of the Winged Demons and nine other Winged Demons. All of the Winged Demons were brilliant spellmen with combat experience, and it was decided to use ten more Winged Demons, Lesser Demons, as escorts.

Elise leaks her dissatisfaction with the Moon Demons not picking her up, but the clergyman tells her, "The Moon Demons' Spellman needs it for the ritual after he picks her up," and she says, "You have no choice. Let's keep Varma in command," I reluctantly agree.

There are hundreds of Moon Demons living in Luberna, but extremely few had combat experience. This was a measure to protect the descent of the Moon Demons, whose birth rate was extremely low, and those heading west of the Aquila Mountains were determined to be the Winged Demons. Varma, who recaptured Luna, was a rare being called the Moon Demon Clan, who also had combat experience.

The called Keiras kneel before Ehlis and drool their heads.

"Son of the Moon is back"

A joyous expression appears on the faces of the Winged Demons in the words. But I was drooling over my head without putting that into words because it was before a witch.

"I don't know the exact location, but I think they'll probably be around Zalesche. I give you the honorable task of welcoming your children. Head to Zalesche as soon as possible. We find Varma and we go under her command."

When Elise ordered that, she handed Keira a single seal.

"New instructions are written here. Give this to Varma."

When Keira receives it as a dedication, she exits from the sight.

The joyful Keiras immediately begin to prepare for departure. In the middle of winter flight, the main focus will be on cold protection and gearing up. Because of the need for an even faster return, the return journey will also be flown, and a meal will be provided for Luna. It took a day to prepare them and set off for Zalesche on February 10.

February 11th. Luna was perplexed by the enthusiastic welcome beyond the ghosts' imagination.

(It's just as I thought...... I feel something's wrong with it being so easy. But if you don't keep these people on your side, they'll send you to Luberna...)

He creates a smile as he hides his inner confusion and accompanies the welcome feast of the ghosts. Not only that, but he was the head of the Council of Chiefs, approaching Tarvo, the most powerful Kronvar family, and intending to come under his asylum.

Her escort, Yesperi Mayuri, came from the Kronvar clan and was in the deputy position of Olvo Kronvar, Tarvo's godson. Just like Yesperi, who was foolish but loyal, Luna decided that the Kronvars could be trusted.

(I don't really trust the Middle-Ghost Clan. A man named Arno was executed, but at first everyone doubted me. That suddenly returns the flat hand...)

Still, he has a face for powerful clan feasts such as the Budosco and Bindler families. For no particular reason such as this, but because I thought it would be better to have more allies.

(Talking about Varma, it looks like it's time to leave for Luberna, and I don't know what to do. Three hundred and fifty kimmels to Luberna. It's going to take more than half a month because the road is going to be tough, but even if Saint Hijiri is chasing you, you should use your time in this place as much as possible. But I wonder if he's really chasing me...)

It's been a month and a half since she was abducted. In the meantime, I had no contact with the Rays, I just believed and endured Ray's word "let them protect”. But I still couldn't wait to hear from you about whether you were really trying to help yourself, especially just knowing the awesome abilities of Uno and the other Beast slaves.

(I don't think it would be strange for those people to contact me... No, definitely Saint would do something about it. I'm one of the few people in this world...)

Luna taps her cheek with a pern to get in the mood. Ellie, a samurai who had refrained nearby, was surprised and ran over, "What's wrong," but Luna said, "It's nothing. I'm just a little drowsy," he replies, "You're going to be at the Sommelyoki family feast now, right?" and changes the subject.

(All I can do is take a ghost tribe to my side. And conflict with the Moon Demons. So I'll buy you some time and wait for the Saints to move. It's a pitiful story just relying on him, but this is all I can think of...... but if the world could perish if I were used for “rituals," I'd have to stop whatever I did. Scary, but I also need to think about killing myself with this knife...)

Touch the little knife in your nostalgia. I accidentally got this on my way to Zalesche and it was poor enough to have a fruit knife, but if I could cut the carotid artery, I kept it for self-harm.

Luna changed into a pitch-black dress and headed to the Sommelyoki family mansion.

The Sommelyoki family mansion was in the heart of Zalesche, close to the Grand Government. I can see that it is the mansion of one of the most famous houses of the Little Ghost tribe in a setting that is not gorgeous but gives me a sense of style.

The haunted houses have a large number of slightly yellow lacquered walls and drawers on the thatched roofs, somewhat similar to the old Japanese houses. The mansion is also a cypress skinned roof made of cypress-like wooden skin, which somehow feels a standing reminiscent of the shrine and Luna enters the mansion with nostalgia in her chest.

It also resembles a Japanese house, a style where you take off your shoes and live on a slab floor. Exactly no tatami, but the rug is laid like a rug knitted with wooden skin, which reminds me of an ancient folk house in conjunction with an enclosure made for both cooking and heating.

Our Lord, Solm Sommeryoki, said, "Welcome to such a splendid house. I can't make a big deal of it, but please relax" and welcome me out of companionship.

Although I'm used to the Great Ghost tribe, I'm still not used to little Ghost men who resemble goblins. I also don't like Middle-Ghost men who are similar to orcs because they resemble opponents who were crusading during the rushing adventurer years. Of course, the men of the Great Ghost tribe are similar to the Orga, but the opposite is unfamiliar because they didn't encounter much of a big guy like the Orga, and are less repellent with recognition to the extent that they say a man with a face who is afraid of making it.

"Thank you for the welcome feast," Luna replied with a drawn face, lowering her back to the big cushion. Behind it is the Great Ghost Guard Yesperi, whose body is either too big for the Little Ghost Mansion or he is scratching his seat cramped.

There's something different about it. There is no such thing as Varma, who is constantly acting together.

This is because Luna ordered it, and as you can see from the recent Chieftainship Council, the aversion of the Haunted to the Moon Demon Spellman is so strong that consideration is given to not creating useless conundrums. Though dissatisfied, Varma decides that the ghost tribe in this city will not harm Luna, and stands by in the Ventura clan mansion.

But Luna had another thought. Varma urged him to leave for Luberna more than once, and he didn't try to bend his claim even when Luna showed a reluctant bare gesture. He even said that his relationship with the ghost tribe was too intimate. Having found it annoying and gaining allies with the Ghosts, I began to think that there was no point in putting Varma aside. However, the power of the Moon Demons is difficult to insult and I can't stop completely deciding.

It is difficult to say that we have exhausted our luxury, but in the middle of winter a sumptuous meal is served. Meat dishes cooked in the enclosure with seasonings like river fish and miso, as well as fresh vegetables, are arranged in a narrow manner. A muddled, cloudy liquor made of grain is served in a flat cup, but Luna barely reached out to the point of mouth.

(It reminds me when I see alcohol. That the alcohol in that village was really delicious. Hehe, I didn't think it was delicious at all back in the day. I guess I'm a little grown up too)

Little ghost women, little different from human women, take care of her.

(I don't mind because a woman is hardly any different than a human being, but a guy who only looks like a goblin is a bit... because he was scattered and threatened when he just became an adventurer. But now I don't think it was dangerous at all. I was really a kid. I can't believe you can tell now how much that guy has protected me...)

The feast proceeds without delay, and those who were the lords of the Sommelyoki family greet one another.

"That's your boy, isn't it? The spirits of darkness seem to be dancing happily around."

With that said, Slo Sommelyoki, the Little Ghost Spellman, shows his fangs. As far as he was concerned, he was going to make a smile, but he looked like a miserable look that Luna was going to eat at herself.

"The Spirit of Darkness? Really? Varma says the same thing sometimes, but you don't feel it at all to me. Lord Slo is a brilliant magician."

Luna was drawn to that horrible face, but it didn't even give her a bite, and she smiles and talks. But inside, I was thinking of something else.

(I can still (...) trust Varma right now. But she's a moon demon. He still doesn't tell me anything about the ritual, and he's definitely telling me to leave soon. Now that we have the Ghosts on our side, she may not need them... but the dark magic of the Moon Demons is dangerous. Because I said it works well for ghosts anyway. For example, keeping a good magician on your side might help in the future...)

The son of the moon is credited with being a "brilliant magician," and Slo lays flat without hiding his emotions as "excessive words".

She smiled, "I just said what I thought," and headed further to Solm,

"Varma is a good spellman, but he doesn't seem so good at healing magic. If you could lend me Lord Slo, I'd be relieved too..."

He adds that Luna developed high fever and was prepared to die by the time she reached the village of Leriche.

"Surely your son seemed to suffer then," Yesperi says, exclaiming that "such things…" and accusing Varma that "it is not as good as the Moon Demon tribe or mouth to put your son in danger".

"There is no no no no no no no no no in my Sommelyoki family. Slo, there's no more honor. Give me your son's gift."

When Solm says that, Slo says, "Ha!," he said, bowing his head.

"You're the one who needs it for the Sommelyoki family... I'm really glad. Does that mean you don't have enough healers?" and show care.

"My Sommelyoki family is a family that produces magicians from generation to generation. There are healers besides Slo," he replies with a chest stretched, "I don't have the talent," he laughs.

"Because I couldn't use magic until the other day either. I don't know when I'll be able to use it."

When Luna answers that, the Solms are surprised to open their eyes. Luna continues the conversation by pretending not to notice it.

"Since I came to Sochius. What made me feel the power of the Dark God (Noctis)? But I'm still immature. So I'd like to say hello to Lord Slo."

"Call me Slo," he says, "I will protect your child by risking my life," he bows his head deeply.

Luna, although a little vulnerable to Varma's opposing horses, was wholeheartedly satisfied that she had found a new ally.

(Even if Varma tries to manipulate Yesperi and Pekka, this will tell. And then with the Kronvars and the Great Ghosts on their side, the Moon Demons shouldn't be easy to reach either......)

Luna thought so and made an aggressive speech. Though we had the chiefs, we thought it would be even more advantageous to have the people on our side.

As the little snow strikes, words hang to the people on the street corner of Zaleshe, and the dark spirits put their power on her words. The exact word "spiritual” was a speech with enough power to deserve.

"... I hated ghosts. Because they attacked the land where we live and killed our people. But now I'm rethinking my mind. That you were all victims too...... the ideal of Sochius is that all races are equal. But what about Sochius now! Some of Luberna's clerics insist on themselves as spokespersons for the Dark God (Noctis), trampling the spirit of equality. As the Son of the Moon, I cannot pass this situation! ……

The anti-moon demons of the people, anti-Luberna sentiments, burn all at once in Luna's fanning. Zaleshe also has a small number of Winged Demons, but they did not even get out of their mansion, and furthermore the Temple of Darkness, Ruberna's departure agency, was sealed off, and the Winged Demon priests were eliminated from the temple.

Talvo was worried about this situation. He had ceded the honor of inviting Luna to the Mansion to other families, so he kept himself, although fascinated by the Grand Government, not to be completely intoxicated.

(I understand what your son is saying. But isn't this situation awkward? As it is, Sochius breaks into two parts: "Son of the Moon” and “Witch of the Moon”. I need the wisdom of Solm at a time like this, but even he is completely distracted by your son...)

Tarvo asked Luna to see the wing demon's mansion as well as guarding his own family.
