EPISODE 227: Light of Naos

=========================================================

The black-robed figure is descending on a long spiral staircase It was the person who appeared before Portnis a short while ago

“That da over her properly”

Having gotten the whereabouts of the Light of Naos from Portnis, she was just on her way to find it She left Bijohnny for the ti to watch over for anyone who may intrude just in case, but she’s very worried whether he could handle the duty seriously

(But to hide a big sanctuary underground sure is surprising)

This is the hidden stairway right under the altar which leads to the sacred room which is covered by an incredible power that the hero especially left

(For this, e the Hero exchanged his own life for it……)

At the end of the stairs, was a big grandiose door

“So this is the place……”

She approached the door and tried to push it gently, but seeht with it While she doesn’t feel anylike a thick iron

“……It doesn’t seem to be operated by normal means However……”

She took out a single flower froain The flower this time is a bud, but for so its sharp teeth

“I’ on you, Iron Eater Plant”

Several Iron Eater Plants are thrown at the door Then they began choreat relish

“Magic can’t be used here, but ic Well, that’s why I was made to come here in the first place”

Thinking that it will take a while, she sat with her back against the wall

(Still, it is too quiet in here)

Of course, it will definitely become a problem if there are people in this place, but with not even a soul in sight, her mind calmed down

(A place far away froht of such a thing, then there should be no reason for him to hide this land in the first place)

In the legend, when the hero died, it turned its own body to light and showered upon the ground Originally, the ground was dirty, ato make the land a clean place, the hero squeezed out the last ounce of its strength and purified the said dirtied land

After that, row in the land, and it becaic was not usable, for it isn’t even possible to release a tiny aic power, derounds

Judging that it was the pure intentions of the hero, the people began calling it Holy Grounds, and erected a building in praise of the hero This became the Great Temple of Oldine

(If this is really the hero I’ve been hearing about, then that person should have exertedthis cramped space)

The black garmented person stood up slowly, and focused her attention towards a part of the door There is now a hole enough for one person to fit in Surrounding it were the Iron Eater Plants belching like an oldon the floor

“You all did well”

After passing through the hole she gave those words, and the Iron Eater Plants suddenly dispersed like smoke

(Now then, ould so its re life, I wonder?)

She went inside, identifying the four stone pillars standing before her On the center there is so container that looks like an object of art, while floating in the air and eht

(So this is the Light of Naos, huh)

It has an appearance of a fireball A fireball placed in a round object like a soap bubble She tried to approach it, but her black robe turned into ash

“Hic power is useless”

The knives hanging on her waist were lost

“……is this the dreaded power of protection?”

The black robe revealed an olive green bob cut haired girl with eyes filled with strong will Furtherradation froreen

(TL Note: So like Mayura’s hairstyle from Sousei no Onmyouji, only a little bit shorter?)

What’s noticing about her is the quite a nu around her waist Flowers and plants are packed in those bottles

“But to burn the robe that his onna take it on that shi+thead later”

She put her hand on a small bottle, took out a flower, and placed it on the floor The flower then grew exponentially, and the girl took a ride on a petal She gradually approached the Light of Naos on no time at all

She took another flower again and faced the Naos of Light The petal then expands and wraps it up gently

“Good, with this my mission is complete”

As if having freed fro voices of somebody, it stoke my consciousness awake

As I raised irl with filled bottles in her waist before me While they have seemed to notice me,

“Aah…… can’t you wake up racefully? Like this!”
