Chapter 208
CHAPTER 208 – ALTHEA AND TANYA
I picked up the half golden lottery ticket and kept it in the anti and concentrated on the person in front of .
The first one who reacted was Io .
「Althea-san?!」
She also didn’t think that she would et her here, so she let out a loud surprised voice .
Althea gave Io a deep stare then silently opened her mouth .
「The way you called , that expression . You, you know 」
「Eh……? Ah……!」
Io covered her mouth .
It looks like she finally rembered that this is the world in the past and that Althea was also a person from the past .
「I-It’s not, I……」
「Although I have many acquaintances, I would not forget a human who possesses such amount of magic powers . Who are youーーno, who are you all?」
「……」
Io made a troubled expression and looked towards for help .
「……it isn’t strange knowing the Great Sage Althea right?」
「A Demon Sword that possesses exactly the sa aura as Eleanor, a young woman who exceeds the magic powers of a Great Wizard, and the Dragon King Olivia」
「Ororo〜, you know ?」
「It is not strange knowing the Dragon King Olivia」
She replied with the sa line .
Truthfully, I don’t think that a human who could see through Olivia’s appearance exists .
She’s not in her dragon form now, and she would change her appearance every ti she mixes in with the soldiers, so her appearance shouldn’t always be the sa .
But even so, Althea confidently said that without hesitance .
On top of that, she was the sa with Eleanor and Io .
She was spot on with both . Although she did not know, she understood the essence in an instant .
The Great Sage Althea, the one who knows everything .
That nickna of hers isn’t for show .
I glanced at Olivia .
It looks like it would be better to tell her everything, just like how I did with Olivia .
I’m also looking forward to how Althea would react to it .
I got interested on what kind of reaction the woman who is called the Great Sage would show .
「I ca from the future . This is Eleanor from the future」
「How many years later?」
「Eh?」
「How many years have passed in the future you ca from?」
「You’re asking that imdiately? ……I wonder how many years . At least, Rodotos’ na have been uncommon, and, ahh, Olivia had reached the end of her lifespan too」
「What’s about the kingdom? What happened to Rodotos’s empire?」
「It doesn’t exist . rcouri, Calamba, Comotoria, Siracuza, Aegina . The world is divided into these five kingdoms」
「I’ve never heard of any of them」
「Ahh, by the way, you have quite an influence on them」
「Ara, is that so?」
「You even gave noble titles from all five kingdoms, akin to treating afternoon tea」
「I gave you?」
「You gave 」
「He〜……」
Althea gave an interested stare .
What happened to giving the noble titles?
「That’s like very 」
「It’s you after all」
「I’m interested in you now」
「I think you told sothing similar in the future」
「……」
Unlike the light conversation before, Althea suddenly turned silent .
She stared at without saying anything .
「What’s the matter?」
「It will take a very long ti for Rodotos’ na to be lost」
「Yeah」
「Ti that would make the empire lead to its downfall, ti that the power balance of the world will be dyed with nas of kingdoms of which nas I do not know」
「What are you trying to say?」
「Why am I still alive?」
「Mu?」
Olivia’s words were shocking .
Why is she alive? That, don’t tell ーー
「You, don’t tell , you’re……human?」
「I am Althea, just Althea」
Althea answered with a serious face .
It was a line that I was used to hearing, but it had a completely different aning .
☆
The Great Sage Althea .
When she appeared for the first ti, she was an old woman who wore a coat that covered her whole body .
She can absorb a human’s vigor by touching them, and she can regain her youth by absorbing from a thousand people’s portion .
Because she had that ability, and because she’s a Great Sage that would appear in history from ti to ti, I’ve always believed that she’s from a long-lived race that is not human .
But, she completely denied that .
☆
We parted ways with Althea for once .
With as the middleman, Olivia and Althea had a conversation with the topic of Orga the dragonkin, and she told her that the Dragon King’s flesh would have no aning for Rodotos .
According to Althea, she had already guessed so, but even so, if it was slightly possibleーー .
But after Olivia told her that, she easily backed down .
We decided a way to contact each other for later, so that she could consult us for a way to release Rodotos from Eleanor, and parted ways .
And right now, beside the Maraton’s Spring .
I looked at the half golden lottery ticket .
『Sothing must be lacking』
I wasn’t alone after all .
Eleanor said with a ‘serious face’ .
The half of a golden lottery ticket . It appeared the instant I t Althea, but it was but half a ticket .
Just like Eleanor had said, it is only natural to think that sothing’s lacking .
『To determine her as Althea, there are too many things that are lacking . It is the sa with Tanya and my mories』
「I guess so」
『However, it also beca clear . It would seem that the final goal is to find the missing half piece of that golden ticket』
I nodded .
Since I ca to this worldーーno, even before I ca to this world, lottery and has inseparable ties .
With a golden lottery ticket appearing now, on top of it being just half, I could only think of searching for the remaining half .
Golden lottery tickets cannot be searched for, it can only be attained by achieving sothing .
The problem is, what should I achieve?
「Your mories, Tanya’s mories, Althea’s body . Those things, for the ti being」
『How about going to that lottery place for once? There might be a clue』
「I was trying to do that since earlier, but it looks like I can’t go there for so reason」
『We’re stuck huh』
「Kakeru-san……do you have a minute?」
I heard a voice from behind . It’s Tanya .
I turned to her and saw her with her eyebrows tied .
「What’s the matter?」
「Listening to what you talked about earlier, I was curious about sothing」
「What is it? Tell 」
「Siracuza and Calamba, are they a person’s na?」
「They’re kingdoms’ na……ah, it’s also a person’s na」
Both Helen and Iris has the kingdom’s na, Siracuza, as their surna .
「As I thought……」
「What do you an?」
「Uhm……Siracuza-san, I know him . It’s the na of a villager who left the village, saying he’ll defeat Rodotos . Calamba-san is the na of the person he took with him」
「……」
『……』
Eleanor and I lost our words .
Siracuza who left the village to defeat Rodotos and Calamba who followed him .
This……it’s too good for a coincidence .
