Chapter 364 - : The Giant Golden Tree, and the Black Panther (2/2)
“What does this iant tree variant, the rest disappeared with it, or so?”
Suu and Sakura looked at each other Well, that’s the ical conclusion, I suppose…
Yumina, who had descended fro the continuously disappearing pins, and fell into thought
“The variant-afflicted people in the toas being controlled by that giant tree… Could that have been the case, perhaps?”
I see That’s one way to look at it It’s like the Soldat goleiant tree is the command tohile the people ere afflicted becoolden flowers on top of their heads act as some kind of receiver, then the story would nize theiant tree right about now
“For now, let’s head towards Silhouette-san’s place She ht have more information about the situation”
When I said that, Yu to that place is a bit… We have Suu with us as well; wouldn’t it be bad in various ways…?”
Ah…
Right, bringing a 12-year-old girl to a brothel is a pretty questionable act… Eh, the last tih!
“Why is it that I can’t be there?”
Suu came forith her question Please spare onna explain what a brothel is to you Having said that, if I just give a vague explanation, Suu will only become more confused, too
Even if she’slike “It’s a place where er than e thanks to the sex ed our ero h last tio contact Silhouette-san Yumina, Sakura, I leave the explanation to you!”
“Eh!?”
“King-saazes of the two on roup
The codom, Cantarre It’s the city that is hohold of the intelligence organization [Black Cats]
We are waiting for so at the open terrace of a café in a corner of the city The person we’re waiting for arrived before the tea we ordered did
“Sorry to have kept you waiting”
“It’s ok; we’re troubling you to come here as well”
The beauty, which would capture anysmile She is none other than the boss of the [Black Cats], the “Shadow Lily”, Silhouette Lily She’s one of the people cooperating with us in the Reverse World
Silhouette-san sat down at our table before ordering some drinks from a waiter The black- clothedaura all around as they stood guard, are scary as hell though!
“First, a thank you is in order, I suppose The incidents that occurred in Eisengard are dying down one after another It was you guys, wasn’t it?”
“So the afflicted people really did disappear?”
“Afflicted? Ah, you mean those corpses that came back to life with those deo, all the walking corpses apparently melted down and disappeared”
So the variant-afflicted people are all gone We shared the inforolden tree with Silhouette-san For now, everything is settled…
“I feel souilt, really If we had noticed that variant sooner…”
“The tablet didn’t react at all?”
“Apparently not I wonder why?”
The sensing board is a ic tool that detects the sounds Phrases or variants make as they appear from another dimension, and uses that to calculate their numbers as well as the ti that inforuess, but… It’s probably unable to detect the seed of that tree variant, which was planted directly in this world
Silhouette-san nodded and accepted that explanation Since it didn’t pass through dimensions and was here fro board can detect it
After that, I introduced Sakura and Suu to Silhouette-san, but when she learnt the two of the them just like the other day However, the only ones ere flustered werethat area was relatively light, didn’t understandus for a while, Silhouette-san suddenly brought up another topic
“Oh right, I heard froic?”
“Magic? Well, it’s true I did that…”
I sed the rest of my sentence when I saw the way Silhouette-san’s eyes sparkled Ah, this is going to turn out like that, isn’t it?
“Ah, well,that can only be used by people with the aptitudes, so—”
“You can check that, right?”
“Yes…”
I could only answer in the affirmative when faced with the power of Silhouette-san’s sirls who are sitting at the saments and placed them on the table I mean, it can’t be helped, can it? She’s helped us out quite a bit up until now, and we’ll continue to rely on her for various things in the future too
I was thinking, please have no aptitudes so I can be spared anything troublesoet what he wants Silhouette-san had the aptitude for darkness ic of the darkness attribute compared to the other eleics, so it’s just su like a fa like that Nor result is random… You leave it up to fate, basically However, if I help, I can narron the result range to a degree Do you have anything you’d want from your su cat-related would be good If it’s strong enough to be able to guard me, that would be even better; is that possible?”
Nn… Well, it is possible However, with Silhouette-san’s es a contract with a summoned beast, she would probably be able to call it out for only a few minutes at best; as such, I don’t think it would serve the role of being her bodyguard well
Well, it’s not like I can’t do anything about that, though
In any case, since there’s no way I can do the suroup to a place without people some distance from the city
I called Kohaku over froic circle on the ground After that, I asked Silhouette-san to focus her y This should work
The black ic circle expanded outwards explosively after some time, and disappeared A panther with dark fur, that al the black ic circle
“… So it is indeed the White E time”
“It is You seem well”
The black panther conversed with Kohaku harmoniously So it’s the type that can co to Kohaku, this panther in front ofPanther”, and as its na
When Kohaku explained the circureed to undertake the contract, so I took out a collar with a silver e]
“That is?”
“Just a noric power into it beforehand, so using that, the summoned beast can move about in this world continuously With this, it should perforuard perfectly”
I moved towards the black panther to put the collar on, but was blocked by a barrier around the ht It can’t come out until Silhouette-san finalizes the contract
Once Silhouette-san gave it the naic circle calmly I then put the collar on its neck That should be everything
“… A I can converse with this child within my heart”
“That would be telepathy It should remain active even if you’re separated up to a point”
Well, if they’re separated that would uard
Unlike Kohaku, Shade apparently can’t transform itself into aalong a huge black panther as she onna stand out, no doubt…
“I’ve stood out plenty up until now, so thisOn the contrary, I’m thankful for the fact that this child would be able to scare away more of those unsavory people, really”
Silhouette-san was pretty calm about it as she stroked Shade’s head I see
After that, Silhouette-san kept stroking Shade together with Suu and Sakura for a while, but then she turned towards ht There’s someone I want you to meet, actually; could you spare the tiht now, coincidentally”
“Someone you want us to meet? Who is that?”
“The most important person of this country”
Towards Silhouette-san’s mischievous smile, we could only return blank stares
