Chapter 163: Khorkina
「Long ti no see Akito-chan~」
「Y-yeah」
Khorkina ca out to greet and I was once again bewildered by her high-tension.
As usual her unbridled cheerfulness and sense of distance were crazy. It was only the second or third ti we’d t and yet she acted like we were close friends who hadn’t t for years.
She was the only one in this world who called Akito 「chan」.
「You’re the sa as usual.」
「Akito-chan is as cool as always too.」
Khorkina lightly answered back but fell silent and scrutinized .
She looked at my face and moved her head around while looking up and down.
「What’s up?」
「It’s not like usual…you’re much cooler than you used to be. What happened?」
「Well that is……」
「We t~」
In my stead the Evil God answered from behind .
It was strange but the aura the atmosphere she had…didn’t change even after she lost her powers.
It might’ve been my imagination but it felt stronger.
「You t huh~ and Akito-chan…who’s this person?」
「Poor child, clinging to the past even though there’s nothing left.」
「??? What are you talking about?」
Khorkina tilted her head as if to say 「I have no idea what this person is saying」.
「It’s nothing, don’t listen to her. Just lead us in.」
「Un, follow .」
Khorkina said and began to guide us along.
We followed behind her and stepped foot inside the forest.
It resembled the forest around the Demon King’s Castle. It had a heavy feeling.
「Be careful Akito-chan, if you lose you’ll be lost~」
「If I lose you?」
「Un if you lose .」
「Is there sothing going on in this forest?」
「It’s~ a~ Se~cret~」
「I see」
I nodded with a wry smile.
There was definitely sothing but she wouldn’t speak.
Well, it was Khorkina after all it shouldn’t be a lie.
I decided to stay within 2 ters of her.
I decided to speak to the Evil God behind .
I lowered my voice so Khorkina couldn’t hear.
「What did you an by that 「Poor child」 thing?」
「What do you think?」
「Don’t question back……hmm……」
I touched my chin and thought.」
「You said it suggestively but you wouldn’t just spout random stuff.」
「Smart child. So following that logic…」
「And you said they clung to the past. The past…The Age of Eternal Slaves?」
「Yes」
「Sothing happened in the past?」
「You’re asking another woman about other won’s pasts?」
「You’re their God right? Not just an ordinary woman.」
「Sly child. Soday you’ll get punished~」
Will I?
Basically it was as effective as saying I’d receive 「Divine Punishnt」.
But right now there wasn’t a God in this world.
The Goddess took this chance to infiltrate my town and try living a normal life.
In summary I wouldn’t be receiving any punishnt anyti soon.
「If there is a God then I offer my sincerest sentints.」
I said while walking away. I clapped my hands twice and did a quick bow.
「What’s that?」
「It’s the praise for gods in my previous world. 「Join your hands twice and bow once」」
「How cheap」
「Well it’s basically to calm down things at the level of a land god though.」
I took out my DORECA and created sothing sweet.
I handed the Evil God a Rice cake stuffed with bean jam.
「That’s a little better.」
「You feel like telling now?」
「Foolish child. It’s the fickle nature of a god.」
「You just eat without paying?」
「That’s what a god does.」
「…I’ll rember it.」
I decided to let it go even though she didn’t tell anything. The reason for that was the sight of her stuffing her face with the cake made her look like a hamster. It was adorable.
***********************************************
Eternal Slaves looked like Elves from my world but that was the only trait they retained.
They were a race that held a strong service spirit.
A happiness from receiving orders and working alongside their children under the sa Master.
Besides their appearances they didn’t feel anything like elves.
The Regrets.
They looked like Dark Elves.
Their silver hair and tan skin…many had sharp eyes that looked at the world with enmity.
I’d heard that they transform if they cannot find a Master after a certain number of years.
I felt so semblance of Elven nature from them.
We exited the forest with Khorkina.
There was a town.
A hidden town within the forest truly matched with my image of elves.
That was all well and good……but I had to ask.
「What is this place?」
「This is our country.」
「Country? Not a town?」
「Un, country. This is all of it.」
This is all……」
「This is much less than I thought. When I heard country I thought there would be more.」
「Couldn’t you just reverse calculate it based on the food you gave?」
「……I left that to Yuria.」
My third slave Yuria.
Her calm personality and talent for dostic affairs allowed to leave such matters to her.
Yuria not ntioning it…but it’s also my fault for slacking…let’s leave that aside.
I see, so this is all there was.
It was outside of my expectations but there seed to be a bit more than a hundred people.
Plus…
「The atmosphere is really heavy.」
I could feel the sharp gazes of several Regrets.
All of them seed either angry or depressed.
That’s why the entire place felt heavy.
「This is really…」
「Well just a bit~」
「This is completely different from the image you and Svetlana gave .」
「Well that’s…we sent out the two top cheerful girls as the forward line.」
「Top two!?」
I was surprised.
「You aside…Svetlana?」
Svetlana my sixth slave.
She had been a regret and got tangled in everything.
If you were to describe her…she was an unrefined military woman.
Her speech patterns were as such and her personality the sa.
She wasn’t dark and depressed like all the Regrets here.
However, you definitely couldn’t mistake her as being cheerful.
With her personality Svetlana was…
「Un, the top two.」
「So basically the top number one and the runner up…」
「Either way~」
Khorkina laughed lightly.
I had thought of this before but I truly understood.
She was one of a kind amongst the Regrets.
At the sa ti I rembered the Evil God’s words.
Khorkina was hiding so sort of past.
That blinding brightness was hiding sothing.
It bothered .
