No One Knows What This Is! (2)
Everyone was in an uproar from the Priestess going missing.
Judas, it really wasnt you, then? Kidnapping the Priestess is dangerous even for you. Do you want to start a war with the Order?
Brigitte, who was finished with work, asked .
She thinks Im behind any problem that occurs.
Of course, 80 percent of those worries were actually caused by .
But not this ti, really.
I dont even know what she looks like.
They say shes white as snow, and that shes blind.
Snowy white but unseeing.
I couldnt really picture it.
I did my best to imagine her appearance as I stepped into the mansion.
There could be a request like, Please find the Priestess, for all I know.
Naru, Im ho.
The ti that Naru shouldve co ho.
I called her as I entered the house, but Naru, who usually would have already greeted at the gates of the garden with a Dad, welco ho! and a big hug, didnt co out.
Was Naru also kidnapped?
I was montarily concerned, then
Clap Clap
I heard clapping from upstairs.
As well, the childrens laughter sounded.
Here! Over here! Naru is here!
Hina is over here.
This is where Cecily is!
I see.
Are they calling up?
I followed the childrens voices upstairs.
But soon I realized that it wasnt they were calling.
What is this?
Clap Clap
The clapping children.
And a woman chasing them around the large, 2nd-floor corridor was what I saw.
The woman waved her arms around like she couldnt see, and the children evaded her movents as they clapped.
Over here!
Once I catch you, youll be sorry. Because Im a wicked witch. Arrrrr.
Seriously, what the hell?
For soone calling herself a wicked witch, she was white all over.
She wore the white robe of nuns and her face was covered in a white veil, like snow.
And the way she moved like she couldnt see.
Oh, holy shh.
I wasnt stupid, therefore I could assess the situation.
That lady was the one everyone was searching for, the Priestess!
And Naru and the others must have kidnapped her!
To beco their playmate!
Got you! Bad children get the chomp.
Finally, the Priestess reached out and grabbed soone.
It was Cecily.
Hiiik! L-Let go! Aghh, fuck! She really bit ! Saint Marika! This is hardly noble-like! 1Possible Elden Ring reference.
Cecily struggled.
And holding onto the wriggling child, the Priestess chuckled like a villain.
Not noble-like? I was originally a commoner. More importantly, since Ive caught the child of a noble, I will fatten you up and eat you!
Will Cecily be eaten if this continues?
Of course, that wouldnt happen.
Are you the Priestess?
I revealed my presence.
At that, the woman who had Cecily jumped, strongly startled and crying out, Ah, unn, ahh? then spoke after putting Cecily down.
Who are you? Since when? How did you get here? You startled .
I see.
As soone without vision and completely engaged in playing with the children, she hadnt known I showed up.
At the commotion, Brigitte ca upstairs.
Its so noisy. Whats going on up here.
Brigitte arrived.
She looked between , the kids, and the veiled lady in white before dropping her jaw, appalled.
Judas! I knew it was you! You insane bastard!
Recognizing Brigitte as she slapped my shoulder, the Priestess tilted her head.
Judas? Ah, I see. You are the famous thief Judas and you should be Brigitte the mage? Greetings. I am the Lords servant, Iris.
The lady placed a respectful hand on her chest and bowed her head.
* * *
And so, no matter what I did, Molumolu didnt co out of the bag! Naru needed to pack quickly but Molumolu was stubborn!
Dinner ti.
Naru talked about all that happened today as she ate.
Mostly it was that Molumolu didnt co out of her bag.
So Molumolu is still inside Narus bag! Look!
Molumolu was still curled up inside Narus bag.
oo
It was like it anchored itself there.
Why was it like this?
But how could anyone know, really?
Even its na was Molumolu.2Reminder that Molu = I dont know.
It was full of mysteries.
What kind of animal is it? It cries like a cat.
The Priestess tilted her head in question.
Even to her, Molumolu was fascinating.
However, I was more fascinated by the Priestess getting lost, eting the kids, and joining us for dinner.
How did this happen? Priestess Iris, your disappearance has all of Freesia disturbed. The Order has been assured at least, but we would like details.
Cariote questioned her.
The Priestess humd in obvious pondering.
Then she said, Im not sure. I ca to and found myself wandering unfamiliar streets. I got lost because of my blindness, the children found and led here.
I dont get it.
And then Naru butted in.
Iris cant see, but she can tell people by their light!
Hmm?
Their light.
What does that an?
As I wondered, Brigitte gracefully dabbed at her lip with a napkin and spoke.
Do you sense people as energy waves? Thats interesting.
Oho, indeed. How do I appear to you? By the way, my na is Cariote. Cariote Iscariote. We have t before. You should know .
Cariote questioned the Priestess.
To that, the Priestess shook her head back and forth, then opened her mouth to reply.
Its like a sharp blade. But its not rely sharp and cold. It has a beautiful ornant.
A blade with a beautiful ornant.
It was a description of her very essence, a demon hunter of noble birth.
Cariote nodded, muttering, Indeed, as Brigitte also showed interest.
Then how do I look?
Brigitte the mage. One of the great heroes. A powerful mage with whom I could have traveled. I see, this is how you are. Oho, this kind of feeling.
So what feeling is that?
Its a black teddy bear. Its dark appearance may seem frightening, but it really ans that you are a soft person like the doll.
Weird.
Brigitte clicked her tongue as if finding it strange.
But I could accept the Priestess assessnt.
Brigitte was a teddy bear-like person.
Then what about ?
How do I appear?
I asked.
At my question, the Priestess fell quiet.
Her silence lasted a bit.
About 10 seconds passed.
You are.
The Priestess opened her mouth to say sothing.
Right in that mont
This monk has co late to the al.
Enkidus showed up.
As he did, the Priestess yelped out loud.
And then she covered her face all flustered, saying I-Its so bright! Its blinding!
Baldy, the Priestess is blinded by your bald head. Apologize.
Is that so?
Is that so, my ass.
About a minute after that fuss, the Priestess breathed out like she finally cald down.
My apologies. I was reminded of the past. It was a long ti ago when I had seen the Lord with my own eyes.
The blind seeing the Lord with her own eyes.
I was finding that strange when Enkidus spoke.
Were you able to see before?
Yes. I was one of many ordinary countryside girls. But one day, a god revealed himself to , and upon seeing his splendor, my eyes lost their sight.
I see.
She was blessed and beca a Priestess, but lost her sight in return.
It was a common thing when it ca to Demiurges.
Epars Nymph Hand had a very similar story.
Demiurges always demand a price to be paid.
Anyway, Monk Enkidus, you are a brilliant being. Im sure you resemble the sun.
The Priestess seed to be interested in Enkidus.
Enkidus shined in many ways, which did resemble the sun.
She had a good perception, indeed.
Soon, Enkidus put a hand in his pocket and pulled out the pearl.
Can you recognize this?
This is. I was doubtful when I first received the letter, but now I can see. This is the real deal. Its the sa treasure as the one I carry.
The Priestess took out the pearl from her pocket.
A jewel shining brilliantly in 7 colors.
The two pearls placed in her hand started emitting a beautiful light, then soon flashed brightly.
Shaaa
After recovering from the sudden flash, the pearls in the Priestess hand had combined into one.
Duplicate objects will combine into one
Though Ive seen it many tis before, it was always surprising.
The Priestess also looked serious.
She opened her eyes that had been closed until now, and the complete whiteness of them was a bit scary.
I have seen many things as a humble body being used by God, but this is a first. Much seems to have happened. Will you explain it to ?
Explain, huh.
What should I do?
Not too long ago, we almost sustained significant damage from the Grandmaster, the leader of a religion.
It was difficult to determine if we should reveal to the Priestess what we knew.
Right then, Naru spoke up.
Naru ca from 6 years in the future!
I see.
Naru at least deed this woman trustworthy.
After that, I relayed many things to Iris who listened and nodded, comnting with, Oho, or Indeed.
Then, at last, she responded.
Honestly, I cant quite understand. It was only years ago that I was a re country bumpkin who planted potatoes in the field.
I see.
Explaining things like spaceti magic and ti paradoxes would be too hard for her.
An experint to create an artificial Demon King. It sounds very suspicious and difficult but it also piques my interest. May I see it? This testing lab place?
She sounded pretty driven.
I was thinking we could go as soon as the sun ca up when the Priestess pushed back her chair and stood up.
And then she spoke.
Lets go right now.
Right now?
Isnt it late?
Well, it shouldnt be a problem, though.
So then after dinner, we headed towards the research facility.
The basent, deep under the facility.
A bubbling tank.
The Priestess spoke, standing in front of that tank.
Is the thing inside the artificial Demon King? That so-called homunculus.
To be honest, I didnt know all that much about the experint.
So I just let my eyes wander, and Brigitte, who was working on the experint even up until this afternoon, let out a sigh and operated the buttons.
Soon, the tank lit up with a vooooom and the object that shone inside was rather peculiar.
What could it be compared to?
Rather than a material or object, it was so kind of energy wave.
Badump Badump Badump
So kind of energy waves were surging within the tank.
Its the beating of a heart.
The Priestess said.
Brigitte then added.
We keep failing at making a physical body. The vessel cant retain its form with the homunculus core at the center. All thats left is this energy.
Brigitte scratched the back of her head awkwardly.
I wonder how I made Aru at the ti. It was so long ago and my diary got burnt so without knowing which ingredient is missing, the progress
I see.
Brigitte too was struggling with manufacturing the homunculus.
She wasnt able to rember the steps or ingredients of the experint since it was too long back.
The Priestess brushed her hand against the glass tank.
However, this energy is alive. Its about to be born. Its a step. One step.
A living energy.
Interesting.
This will be the new Demon King?
Brigitte clicked her tongue.
Originally, the Grandmaster had an important role. She was supposed to infuse karma into this artificial life form. But due to complications.
There certainly were so complications.
Without taking her hand off the cold tank, the Priestess spoke.
What is this ones na?
Na? Hmm, I havent really thought about it. Just homunculus or dummy. Or test subject alpha. What about the na?
Nas are important. Even sothing minor like a rock will gain significance once its nad. Alpha
The Priestess said.
At her words, the steady energy inside the glass tank changed, now thrumming.
Was it reacting?
Seeing this, Brigitte was surprised.
Theres a reaction!? It has never done that before! A na! My goodness, to think that it was sothing so simple! Now that I think about it, I nad Aru before it even had a form!
Mage Brigitte, the nature of truth is such that even a country bumpkin can understand it. That is why its called the truth, they say. Alpha. There should be a more suitable na.
The Priestess moved her head as if peering inside the tank.
What did the thing inside look like to the eyes that couldnt see?
I sense sothing destined in my coming here. I may be mistaken but, lets discuss the next steps.
* * *
Naru, were not supposed to go into the testing lab!
Cecily cautioned Naru.
The facility which they had co to with the adults.
Naru bravely headed into the depths of the testing room; the nacing, snarling beasts trapped inside cages were very scary.
But Naru couldnt leave.
Molumolu ran away again!
Anyti they ca here, Molumolu kept running off.
As they walked around in search of Molumolu, Naru and the other girls arrived at the basent lab filled with shining tanks.
It was the location where the girl who looked like Tywin was bubbling inside a tank.
The one looking like Tywin was nowhere to be found, instead, there was sothing strange.
Badump Badump
It was energy.
Energy that was alive and moving inside the tank.
This What is it? I think I might rember.
Hinas interest was piqued.
When she placed her hand on the tank, the energy humd even more as if responding to her.
What is that?
Cecily was also fascinated.
The children gathered in front of the tank.
Within Cecilys blue eyes, the energy moved unusually.
What is this? Ive seen it before. Where was it? A nobles party? No. Where? I definitely know this. Naru, how about you?
Cecily asked Naru.
Of course, Naru didnt know what this was either.
The mont that she tilted her head
Molu?
Badump!!
Badump Badump!!!
The thrumming of the energy in the tank intensified.
As everyone was watching this sight, sothing made a rustling noise.
oooow.
Ah, Molumolu, co here!
