Chapter 342 Reiko’s Return (2/2)
That isn’t guaranteed to be the truth though.
“…… Is that all true? Even if it’s not that’s still fine.”
“Was all of that the truth? Without using info transfer it would be impossible to be any surer, but we can’t let you know all our secrets.”
Dogmalord guaranteed.
“……If it’s such a simple illness as you’ve said, why did you bother spreading it?”
That was what Reiko couldn’t understand.
“That’s simple. Raldus did it of his own accord. In the first place, that guy’s still young, so he doesn’t have good judgment. Though it’s only a little, his power is hard to control.”
“In that case, would you say that the spread of the disease is not your goal?”
“That’s right. However, that isn’t to say I want to help with the treatment.”
Saying so, Dogmalord vanished from before Reiko’s sight, and when she noticed him again he had the collapsed Raldus in his arms.
“No way… does this mean you can use spacial teleportation?”
“I’m not obliged to teach you up to that point… And so I will be taking this guy. I can’t lose him after all.”
“See ya, cute kid. We’re going to return to our country.” Said Bemiarché, blowing Reiko a kiss.
“…Wait a moment! I still have more to ask!”
However, words of refusal were returned to her.
“I don’t have anything else I feel like talking about. This is the end.” Dogmalord said, turning away from Reiko and casting magic.
“gravita”
Before Reiko realized it she was floating off the ground. Either the scope of the magic was vast, or it had a property of following the target. [TL: This is definitely wrong, must fix]
“This is…!”
Earlier gravity had been increased to dull her movement, but now the opposite was happening.
In other words, Reiko had lost the majority of her weight.
Reiko’s weight was approximately the same as that of the air. If it was just a little bit lighter, she would probably be able to move much faster, but this was far too much.
This meant that even if she kicked the ground with all her might, none of her power would get through rendering it meaningless.
And so, the three demons got away from right in front of Reiko’s eyes.
[Ms. Reiko, it’s possible to trace Raldus’ magic power. We should be satisfied that we were able to complete our first objective.]
Laojun’s advice convinced Reiko.
“…That is certainly true.”
Either because the demons had left, or simply due to the passage of time, Reiko’s body weight gradually returned. After about 15 minutes, the magic lost it’s effect.
“…I should return soon.”
Reiko ran at full speed in the direction of the place Pegasus 1 was waiting. As a precaution, she increased the temperature of her body to sterilize it.
In full darkness, Reiko ran at no less the 200km/h and reached Pegasus 1 in a minute.
“Elder sister, were you safe?”
At Pegasus 1 Luna and Soleil gave their greetings.
“There was a strong magic reaction, so we are on alert.”
Land 1 and 2 were alarmed by the pressure at the time, so they returned from the darkness.
“…I think I was somehow able to complete our goal. Let’s return.”
Reiko used the warp gate she had previously arranged as an escape route to return to Horai Island.
After her, Soleil, Luna, Land 1, 2 and Pegasus 1 returned to Horai island.
＊ ＊ ＊
[Thank you for the hard work, Ms. Reiko.]
After returning to Horai Island, Reiko received Laojun’s words of gratitude.
“It’s a little regrettable. The way I handled the demons.”
Reiko freely expressed what she was feeling.

[I understand that. However, you succeeded in achieving our largest goal. I believe the words of those demons were no lie.]
“Elder sister, there is a fragment remaining in my memory, and it there are no discrepancies. I believe those guys were telling the truth.”
Being told so, Reiko finally raised the face she had been casting downward.
[My Lord is waiting in the laboratory on the second floor. Hearing about your difficult fight has made him worry endlessly. Please show him your safe appearance.]
“Yes.”
Hearing so, Reiko urgently went through the warp gate and ran to the second floor where Jin was.
Note 1: ベミアルーシェ == no idea how to write this in English. It shows up again later in the story so… What do we want it to be? Bemiarché? That’s the best I can come up with.
Note 2: ドグマラウド == much easier, but I’ll list all names at the bottom so we can put everything in the wiki from now on. Dogmalord or Dogmaloud. I’ll go with the first for now.
