…What is this? I was confused by the system window that had suddenly appeared. And with it saying “Hello” out of the blue, could this be so kind of chat window? I glanced at the na displayed on the system window.
「The Capricious One.」
“…?”
The Capricious One? What kind of na is that? Is it so sort of nickna?
I tilted my head and stared at the system window glowing with purple light. Then I spoke.
“Who are you?”
「The Capricious One: …」
I asked quietly, but the system window, glowing faintly, gave no reply. Did I also need to type my question into the terminal? No sooner had the thought occurred than words appeared on the purple system window.
「The Capricious One: Who do you think it is?」
“…”
What is with this guy? I let out a faint, incredulous laugh.
It seed that even without typing into the terminal, my words were automatically transmitted to the other side. I wasn’t sure why this was happening all of a sudden, but it was a relief that communication had beco easier. After pretending to think for a mont and stroking my chin, I asked casually.
“A constellation?”
「The Capricious One: …」
“An Asgardian god?”
「The Capricious One: …」
The system window gave no response. It seed determined to stay silent unless I identified it correctly. A bit troubleso. Should I just ignore it? Still, it would be a waste to miss out on any useful information. The Capricious One. In Norse mythology, which god was considered the most capricious?
“…”
No matter how I thought about it, only one na ca to mind. Still, speaking it aloud felt a little uncomfortable. If I guessed wrong, the chat might simply stop—after all, this was The Capricious One. I sighed, frowned, and asked again.
“…God Loki?”
Then the system window glowed even more brightly than before.
「The Capricious One: Correct—!! (*≧ㅁ≦*)」
“Whoa…”
What’s with that silly emoji? Even if I was right about who he was, his nickna remained the sa. Was he just ignoring it—or sothing else? Or perhaps it’s part of his persona? If not that either…
“Do all Constellations have to use nicknas?”
「The Capricious One: No, not necessarily (ʘ‿ʘ)」
「The Capricious One: So just use their real nas because they don’t want to use a nickna. For example, ‘Simply Ignorant God,’ ‘Simply Ignorant That Guy,’ or ‘Simply Ignorant Big Guy’ (¯ ― ¯٥)」
"Ah…”
I think I know who he’s referring to. It seems Thor doesn’t use a nickna. So maybe it’s just a matter of god's preference. So use their real nas out of convenience, while others use nicknas to appear impressive… But co to think of it, the gods only talk to their own guild mbers anyway, so using nicknas felt a bit odd.
「The Capricious One: You thought I was being dramatic, huh?」
“Uh, that…”
「The Capricious One: It’s fine. I’m lenient with my Einherjar.」
“Your… Einherjar?”
It felt a bit strange—speaking as if I were sothing that belonged to him. I narrowed my eyes and asked.
“The god who spoke to in the dungeon… could it be…?”
「The Capricious One: Yup, it’s —☆」
“…”
Damn. I’d been caught up in Loki’s sches from the very beginning. Could it be that Loki had been watching ever since I possessed Han Yi-jin’s body? Or had he been keeping an eye on Han Yi-jin from the start?
But if I were truly the warrior chosen by Loki, he wouldn’t have let Han Yi-jin die after being treated as such an insignificant villain in the original story. That ant Loki had been watching , not Han Yi-jin. Could it be that Loki intended for to possess Han Yi-jin and gain an S-rank auxiliary skill through the system? With that thought, I spoke up.
“Did you an for to possess this body too?”
「The Capricious One: Do you think I have that kind of power?」
“Yes.”
「The Capricious One: Thanks~♡(*>ω
