Chapter 102: Mayhem in the capital of Symphonia (2) (1/2)
“I am Isaac. The son of the great ruler, Evelisse, and the Archbishop of the Snake Church.”
The son of the Great Demon Lord, Evelisse…?
In other words…
“A Demon Lord?” (Makoto)
“No, Makoto-san. All the executives of the Snake Church call themselves the son of the Great Demon Lord.” (Leonard)
“There’s no other Demon Lords aside from the 3 in the demonic continent.” (Sofia)
Prince Leonard and Princess Sofia retorted.
Sorry, I am ignorant.
“Stupid! I don’t know if you are a Archbishop or whatever, but your comrades have already been defeated!”
The first prince was taking a strong stance.
Well, the attack failed after all.
Isaac didn’t respond to that and just raised his right hand up.
His hand was holding something.
A silver craft of a snake coiling around an apple?
“Be careful!” “He plans on doing something!”
The knights shout.
But from what I see, that magic tool has no mana.
It is an empty shell. It has already been used.
“This, you see, is a preservation tool like the one we used in the Water Country’s capital that allows us to save the voice of our great father.” (Isaac)
“What…?”
“What is he saying…?”
The highland soldiers were confused.
Could that possibly be…
“An item that makes Taboo Monsters?” (Makoto)
At the time when the almost dead giant turned into a Taboo Giant.
When he refers to the Great Demon Lord’s voice, he is referring to the voice at that time, right?
“Hero Makoto! Is that true?!” (Sofia)
“Hoh…I am surprised you could tell.”
Princess Sofia raised a voice of surprise, and Isaac seemed to be impressed.
“Before the Taboo Giant was raised, I heard a childish voice. I think it was saying ‘Let’s go against fate’, ‘brave warrior’.” (Makoto)
“…There’s no doubt that’s the voice of Evelisse.”
It seems like the word ‘fate’ is a catchphrase of the Great Demon Lord according to the Great Sage-sama.
“Right now the monsters that we of the Snake Church have tamed are all heading to the capital at once.” (Isaac)
As if matching the words of Isaac…
*Kan Kan Kan Kan Kan Kan Kan Kan Kan Kan Kan Kan Kan…*
The sound of bells ring from the gates of Symphonia.
“Reporting! Monsters are gathering in front of the gates in every direction!”
“All directions, you say?!”
“Impossible. The monsters should have been gathering only in the forest side.”
“There’s no problem. We had the Sun Knights and Four Sky Knight Orders stationed in all the gates last night. We have also sent the templars to protect the gates aside from the minimum to maintain public order in the city. We won’t let the monsters attack.”
The General of the knights calmly explained to the worried royals and nobles.
General Yuwein, was it? The superior of Sakurai-kun.
As expected of the top of the sun army.
“Hoh…I was sure we hid the fact that we had monsters on the sea side. You are nicely prepared.” (Isaac)
Isaac maintained his composed attitude.
“Ha! You are just a gathering of imbecile devilkin in the end. There’s no way you can break through the defense of the Sun Country!”
“Great job, Yuwein-dono. The filthy church of the devilkin is nothing to fear!”
The nobles of the Sun Country have calmed down it seems.
“Hmm, there’s Taboo Monsters mixed in the mob, you know? I used this to awaken a number of them.” (Isaac)
Saying this, Isaac throws the silver snake craft lightly in the air and catches it back.
“Taboo Monsters…”
“No need to worry! We have the Light Hero-dono here. He defeated 3 Taboo Dragons in Laberintos already!”
“In the first place, they are monsters that even the Water Country’s Hero can defeat.”
“That’s right! We are going to beat them back!”
Aren’t you guys dissing me as if natural?
“They are talking like that about you, Makoto.” (Lucy)
“They are so rude. Don’t you think so too, Takatsuki-kun?!” (Aya)
“Hero Makoto, it seems that we have to remind them.” (Sofia)
“…No, let’s just ignore it.” (Makoto)
Leaving aside Lucy and Sa-san, even Princess Sofia got angered by that.
Now now, calm down.
“Is it okay to not capture that Isaac guy, Great Sage-sama?” (Makoto)
“Let’s have him talk a bit more. He seems to like talking.”
The Great Sage-sama is crossing her arms and watching.
If the Great Sage-sama says so, I guess it is fine to be on standby for a while.
“But is it okay to only be protecting the gates? I heard that the beastkin are planning a rebellion, you know?” (Isaac)
The Archbishop says with a grin.
How barefaced. You are the ones pulling the strings from the shadows, right?
“Too bad! The leaders of the beastkin have all been captured!”
The first prince says with a proud face.
But Fuji-yan was the one who investigated most of it, you know.
And Princess Noel was the one who captured them.
I glanced at Princess Noel, and she had an unfazed expression, not saying anything.
“Haha! I see, I see. That’s a relief.” (Isaac)
He laughs as if this were amusing.
“What are you laughing about?”
The second prince says displeased and is ordering his subordinates saying ‘should we kill him already?’.
*Kan Kan Kan Kan Kan Kan Kan Kan Kan Kan Kan Kan Kan…*
The bell for emergencies continues ringing.
“R-Reporting! A large revolt has occurred in the 7th and 8th District! A group mainly of beastkin!”
A highland soldier jumped in.
The ruckus gets bigger.
The mouth of Isaac warped greatly.
“Ahahahahahaha! Oh? This is weird! Even though you captured the beastkin leaders! Just what is going on here?!” (Isaac)
“You bastard! What did you do?!”
“Those animals wouldn’t cause a rebellion in a troubled time like this!”
The royals and nobles lost their leisure of before and were agitated.
They really were switching from confident to flustered a lot right now.
(…Anyways…) (Makoto)
That’s impressive.
Everything is going as Furiae-san told us.
I glance at her, but the hood is covered way down and I can’t see her expression.
“I will predict your future here! Today, Highland’s capital of Symphonia is destined to fall!” (Isaac)
The Archbishop-san of the Snake Church spreads both arms widely and announces.
He is really into it.
“N-No way…” “Nonsense!” “There’s no way the Highland capital will fall…” “B-But…an army of monsters and the rebellion of the beastkin at the same time.” “W-We must escape.”
The uneasiness and ruckus was reaching its highest.
Isaac looks down on us.
The only one calm aside from us would be General Yuwein.
“It won’t turn out like that.”
A clear voice.
The owner of the voice that resonated as if it were through a speaker was Princess Noel.
Her timing is perfect.
Is she a movie director?
“Oh? You are the Sun Oracle, no, the reincarnation of the Salvation Saint Anna, Princess Noel?” (Isaac)
The Archbishop says as if he had noticed just now.
“The one at your side is the Light Hero-kun? We will deal with you guys in the future. Until then, wait while trembling. And so, what do you mean by ‘it won’t turn out like that’?” (Isaac)
“Exactly as I say. Symphonia won’t fall.” (Noel)
Isaac doesn’t break his leisure attitude, and Princess Noel was still calm.
“Noel, what in the world do you mean?!”
“Explain, Noel.”
The second prince and first prince demand an explanation.
“The beastkin rebellion is related to the weed that has been spreading around the 7th and 8th District.” (Noel)
“Hoh…” (Isaac)
Isaac shows an amused expression at the words of Princess Noel.
