Chapter 114.2: Toward Gypseal Region

「Ah right, I forgot that they’re Kuroki’s enemy. I’m also worried about that matter. The truth is, one of their comrades also got poisoned. Thus, they’re going to Gypseal too.」

「He~… Eh… Who got poisoned?」

Crap, I almost flipped right there.

「I don’t know her name, but it’s their swordswoman.」

That was enough for me to know who it was.

It was Shirone.

Did that mean that Shirone got poisoned too?

「So, does that mean that Re… I mean the Hero of Light and his comrades went to Gypseal to save their comrade?」

「Yes, but I can’t help but worry if it’s just them and Ishtar-sama. That’s why I’m thinking of going too. Come to think of it, why don’t you go with me too, Kuroki? I think it’ll be safer that way.」

Totona suddenly suggested such a wonderful proposal.

Yeah, it was a wonderful proposal, just when I needed a reason to go out.

「You’re right… Well, it’s also thanks to Totona that I can enjoy my time reading books in the library. Let me help you this time… After I ask for His Majesty’s permission.」

I mean, I am literally trying to save Nargol’s enemy. That’s why I need Modes’ permission to leave Nargol this time. Moreover, I had to coax Kuna for her to allow me too.

The problem was, what should I say to persuade her?

「Hou… So you’ll take Kuroki with you. Since that’s the case, this Loughas shall inform His Majesty.」

「Are you okay with this, Loughas-dono?」

「Yeah, I don’t mind. And it’s not because I want to save Thors. I just think that it’ll be a good thing for you to meet the people of Gypseal.」

Loughas said so with a smile on his face.

「I see, thank you very much. Loughas-dono.」

It’s decided then.

I’ll go to Gypseal too.

◆Demon King; Modes

I was having an audience with Loughas in the audience room in my castle.

「Hou, Kuroki wants to go to Gypseal, huh? I don’t really mind giving him permission, but to make the strongest Dark Knight go… Are you doing this to protect your disciple, Loughas?」

「Yes, Your Majesty. That girl is really helpful when I need her after all.」

「Are you referring about her assisting your research about sorcery?」

「Yes, Your Majesty. The Magician Association built by Totona is really useful after all.」

Sorcery was a skill that was easier to use than magic.

With the help of sorcery, those who couldn’t use magic due to their birth could use it, and those who were blessed with talent to use magic could use it even more powerfully.

And the one who created the foundation for that sorcery was none other than Loughas.

「And just like that, those without talent to use magic become really passionate in their research about sorcery. And the human race truly comes up with many wonderful research records.」

Loughas spoke happily.

He’s the same as ever, his character would always change when he spoke about knowledge or sorcery.

And Loughas taught everyone based on that.

He was more passionate about the development of sorcery than his real job, not that it affected his duty.

Thanks to his efforts, sorcery spread throughout the entire world, which in turn gave birth to many other forms of sorcery.

His disciple, Totona, then appointed a human called Saria as her apostle, and taught her sorcery to spread it even further in this world and build the Magician Association as the knowledge hub of sorcery.

Humans who mastered the basics of sorcery would then research sorcery on their own, and many would give birth to their own type of sorcery.

And by Totona’s order, all those variants were recorded and kept in the Magician Association.

This is what humans believed, while, in fact, Totona was making other copies of the research and delivering the results to her teacher, Loughas.

「I see…」

「Naturally, I have another reason to dispatch him. I want Kuroki-dono to see this world with his own eyes. And this trip to Gypseal is an attempt.」

「I see. So, is it really for Kuroki’s sake?」

「Yes. Not to mention that Kuroki-dono is one of the big shots of Nargol. Having him experience many things isn’t a bad choice either.」

Loughas said so with a smile on his face.

◆The Silver Witch; Kuna

The evening of the day Kuroki departed for Gypseal.

I met Rena in my dream.

「Good grief, Totona really overdid it this time… Well, Thors has to be saved either way, but still, things have become rather annoying right now.」

I agreed with Rena.

I was really annoyed the moment I found out that Kuroki wanted to save that b*tch, Shirone. Not to mention that he would go with Totona who was clearly gunning for him.

But then, I still couldn’t bring myself to stop Kuroki.

「You won’t go with him, Kuna?」

「Like hell I want to go there, Rena. I really hate that b*tch Shirone, why should I go save her?」

Thus, I had no choice but to hide my frustration while sending him off to Gypseal.

「Well, considering your personality, that’s only natural I guess. Well, there’s nothing that can be done right now. I know that you’re worried about him going with Totona, but rest assured, I think he will treat it as a simple errand, but still…」

Rena heaved a sigh.

「A simple errand? That sounds different from Totona’s story.」

I tilted my head in confusion.

What Totona told Kuroki and what Ishatar told Rena seemed to be slightly different. Maybe this matter was more complicated than what it looked like on the surface.

When I told Rena about this.

「Oh my, you think so? That seems off indeed. If that turns out to be correct… Then I’m afraid that Ishtar-sama is far too optimistic about this matter…」

「Oi, are they really going to be alright?」

「I don’t know. Maybe I should follow them to Gypseal too, but that’s no different from an unauthorized entrance to Gypseal.」

Rena said with an anxious look on her face.

I heard that Gypseal was a rather special land.

Just like Nargol, the Elios’ gods couldn’t freely enter Gypseal.

Kuna couldn’t help but become anxious too. I started to regret the fact that I didn’t go with Kuroki out of jealousy.

「I think Kuroki will be okay, but…」

As expected, should Kuna just go with Kuroki?

Kuna thought so while looking at Rena.
