138 Not a single lie (2/2)

Although he still could not compare to the performance of the Original Moirai. Being affected by the Absolute Truth status is a lot harder than just avoiding to mention certain information. At least he expected that much from someone of his calibre, otherwise, he would have been severely disappointed.

This was part of their deal after all. If he was not capable of entertaining them and were to struggle under such ridiculous schemes, then he would have never been in his space, to begin with. Likely not even in the space of the special Moirai who clearly was not interested in following his duties at all.

The Observer was certain, that despite his lazy facade he had seen through his intention and still decided to play along. As long as everything followed their agreement he could not care less about any of this.

Everyone involved followed their own plans and until those plans clashed with one another, there was no need to intervene. Be it human, Insect or Supervisor all of them were merely just tolerated for the time being.

There was no space for these foreign entities in his world.

” I do not understand why you would actually bring this young seedling with you. What are you trying to achieve?” The Observer said all of the sudden to switch the topic.

” Oh, am I not allowed to bring a maiden to her beloved? She seems to be smitten by the human, or at least what she thinks to be a human. I just could not help myself seeing this unfortunate soul and decided to help her.”

” Just be mindful about your position, I truly do not want to let a seedling watched by the Gods go with you. In comparison to you, I have something to lose.”

The special Moirai was not offended by the blatant disregard and contempt the Observer had shown to him.

” What a harsh assessment. It truly is terrible to not be subjected to their will. But I am willing to carry that burden.”

In the meantime, the number of Moirai that left the city had continued to constantly increase. Their sacrifice was not enough to appease the angry horde of players coming closer and closer to the location of the interview.

With the restrictions lifted numerous spectacles could be seen from far away as the clones of Moirai succumbed to them, It was a cruel show that no one seemed to care about. Every other player was focussed on the interview of the famous NPC Moirai.

Especially after the audience was allowed to ask questions to the NPC directly. This was the opportunity of a lifetime and they did have a lot of questions which they wanted to have answered, CallMeDaddy and his team crew found themselves buried beneath a flood of questions.

Between all of those questions, it was hard to select those which they should give to Moirai. Some were rather strange or did not fit. While others could not even be uttered out loud.

Samantha, on the other hand, followed the interview and every answer with every last bit of her attention missing out on the conversation happening in her vicinity. One question, in particular, caught her by surprise.

” Dear Moirai, what kind of partner does a human choose?”

It was the first time Moirai made a pause and gave his answer after pondering on the issue for a while.

” I do not seek someone truly strong or talented. Qualities like this are truly rare and remarkable but I want a partner who I can trust and someone who is honest with me. I loathe nothing more than being lied to.”

This answer was not something Samantha would have expected from her future husband. She thought that a human would choose a partner that possesses a lot of physical strength and the ability to bear strong children. Moirai's criteria did not fit the image that Samantha had in mind.

Such a perspective was not something that Samantha could understand. That the reason for those words lied deeply burrowed in the depths of Moirais mind was something she could not know. But despite her interest in the choice of Moirais female companion, she was also aware that calling Moirai her future husband was nothing more than a joke.

Certainly, he was the men who had bested her and therefore won the right to have her as his wife but the barriers that separated the two of them are unsurmountable. Because marrying an NPC despite the realistic depiction of it could not be done. The purpose of a marriage lied in creating strong offspring after all.

Despite the cruel truth Samantha pretended and indulged in the fantasy before duty would arrive at her doorstep leaving no room for such foolish dreams. Because those fleeting dreams were not meant to last.

The inevitable danger to Moirai fought through the horde of Moirai and some of them had managed to finally arrive in the city, where only a select few Moirai still remained. Yet, instead of blindly rushing forward to attack these Moirai, they stopped and listened to the interview of CallMeDaddy

The interview continued despite the danger looming over the head of the famous NPC. Moirai gave a casual glance to the players waiting on the sidelines before answering every question wholeheartedly.

More and more players arrived yet the atmosphere did not change as they all stared at Moirai. Being surrounded by all of those players Moirai did not seem to affect as he laughed merrily.

” Since so many people did manage to arrive here, I will give you a chance as well, do you have any questions you want to have answered from me?” His loud and happy voice reverberated through space.

A rather timid youth looked in the surroundings and began to speak after a deep breath.

” How were we supposed to defeat you, when every one of you was that much stronger than us?”

”That is rather simple, did anyone ever say that they had to be defeated? All you had to do was pass them and that can be done with utter ease. The solution is simple and yet you still do not even know when I point it out.”

This cheap provocation caused several players to attack Moirai with their magic but those were easily dodged and the expression on Moirai remained unperturbed.

” Please bear with it. We can not start yet as not everyone has arrived.”

A big smile appeared on Moirais face as he continued to answer multiple questions from CallMeDaddy and the crowd of players was growing more and more restless with each passing second.

Moirai did not care about the upcoming crisis as he continued to taunt the players by waving at them and reminding them to be patient. They did not react all too well to these provocations as the began to seethe on the inside.

They managed to keep their calm but only due to the presence of CallMeDaddy had they not attacked Moirai the moment they first laid their eyes upon him. After enduring all of their humiliation they could get their revenge either way.

But until the interview had ended they could not intervene without drawing the ire of the many viewers. Moirai knew their predicament and did his best to rub it into their faces.

But for both sides, it was only a matter of time before the inevitable would occur.
