Chapter 124.2
Sasha complained but Misha smiled in relief.
“I’ll do my best.” (Misha)
Nevertheless, in terms of power alone, Misha is the closest thing to a child of god right now.
I’ll have to keep my eye on her for a while.
“Also, 2000 years ago Nousgalia targeted the great spirit Reno to be the womb that would give birth to the child of god.” (Arnos)
“Eeh….?” (Misa)
Misa looked at me in surprise.
She was probably surprised to find out she could also be the child of god.
“Of course this whole thing could be a lie. They could be trying to get me to keep my eyes on you all while they wake up another person somewhere else that’s the child of god.” (Arnos)
In the end, the only thing I could properly confirm was that they wanted to kill Melheys.
We’ve got some information but we still don’t know a great deal.
“What are you going to do?” (Melheys)
“I’m going to Ahartherun. The great spirit Reno should be there and the quickest way to find out if Misa is the child of god is to ask Reno directly.” (Arnos)
I’ve also got news about Shin. I can’t not go.
“……That’s going to be a bit difficult though isn’t it?” (Ray)
Misha tilted her head to one side.
“Why?” (Misha)
“The great spirit forest is hard to find for one thing.” (Ray)
“But you’ve been there before haven’t you Arnos? Can’t we just use <Gatom>?” (Sahsa)
“Ahartherun is not a place but a spirit.” (Arnos)
“A spirit? Even though its a forest?” (Sahsa)
“The great spirit forest of Ahartherun was created by myths, rumours and folklore of a mysterious forest inhabited by the spirits. The forest is alive and is always moving. It can’t be seen by the naked eye and because it doesn’t have any magic you can’t see it using your demon eyes either.” (Arnos)
“How can a forest move but not be visible to the naked eye?” (Sasha)
“Like I said, Ahartherun is a mysterious forest created by legends and myths. It appears out of fog and disappears into fog. There are also conditions to entering the forest but they change depending on the current rumour. The last time I entered the rumour was that you could only enter at midnight while there was a hazy moon and fog drifted along the shores of lake Seimei. At that point, if you offered a light blue candy to the air a mischievous fairy would appear and lead you to the forest.” (Arnos)
“Wow. It’s like a fairy tale.” Eleonor said happily.
“But that rumour is from 2000 years ago isn’t it?” (Sasha)
“Yeah. It’ll be different now.” (Arnos)
“So we have to start listening to rumours? What a pain…..” (Sasha)
“How did you create <Beno Ieven> then if it moves around?” (Misha)
“With the help of the great spirit Reno I created it directly inside Ahartherun. Even if they found the forest it wouldn’t let anyone in.” (Arnos)
As well as how to get in the entire home of the spirits is made up of rumours and traditions. With the help of Reno, I divided the world by building the wall inside it.
“It’s going to be hard to find Ahartherun especially since we can’t take our eyes off Nousgalia isn’t it?”(Ray)
“It’s also not desirable for you to be separated from Misa-sama, Zeshia-sama, Misha-sama and Sasha-sama my lord in case someone targets them as the child of god.” (Melheys)
“Even if me and Eleonor stay here we don’t have the same demon eyes as Arnos. It’s going to be difficult to completely keep an eye on Nousgalia. Even if it’s you Arnos you can’t fully grasp the situation in Deruzogedo from Ahartherun can you?” (Ray)
“You’re right.” (Arnos)
The farther away you are the less accurate demon eyes are. This is handing Nousgalia the perfect opportunity to take advantage of.
“It could be this is what they want. By thinking the child of god is one of my subordinates it makes it harder for us to act separately.” (Arnos)
“Do you think the real goal is to let Shin fall while he’s trapped in Ahartherun?” (Ray)
“It’s a possibility.” (Arnos)
Fumu. It’s getting harder to move around that’s for certain.
“Errm, so what do we do now? Is it best for me and Kanon to go to Ahartherun?” (Eleonor)
“No.” (Arnos)
Ray and Eleonor are a force to be reckoned with but if it’s something that’s giving Shin trouble then I’m not optimistic about their chances.
“We’ll all go.” (Arnos)
“But who will keep an eye on Nousgalia then?” (Sasha)
I grin at Sasha.
“I said all of us and I meant all of us. I’ll have him guide us to Ahartherun.” (Arnos)
Everyone in the room and not just Sasha gives me a questioning look.
“How?” (Sasha)
“What do you mean how? It’s easy. Gods keep their promises with people and Nousgalia promised to be a teacher at this school. He can’t disobey an order if it’s for his job.” (Arnos)
“Ah!” Sasha raised her voice as she noticed.
“Our next class will be an expedition exam to Ahartherun.” (Arnos)
