145 Thoughts in a dream (Chapter 7 Epilogue 1) (2/2)

Raina asks with a graceful laugh.

What's certainly going on?

As I was in the storeroom as usual, my mother's messenger suddenly arrived.

They said that my mother was calling me, after all.

If you don't listen to them, the rest is a problem, so I reluctantly decided to go out.

When I arrived at the Palace of Heaven, Raina had just arrived as well.

I was surprised by that.

I didn't expect Raina to be invited along with me.

Actually, you see, Tona and Raina. I just received word from Fana that Toles is awake. It's also thanks to you. We called you here today to pay tribute to that merit.

My mother laughs at that.

'Yes, your brother woke up ....... 'Good,'

I'm relieved.

That's my sister.

My sister Phanakea is the goddess of medicine and herbs.

She may not be as good as the great witch Herukert, but she's still very skilled.

If you have the right ingredients, you can make an antidote.

It's all thanks to you. Thank you.

He tilts his head slightly at his mother's words.

She doesn't seem to know that I had the help of Kroki, who is of Nargol.

It seems that Raina did not tell him about me and Kroki.

What does she mean by that?

Well, it seems that Raina also used Kuroki to save the brave men of light, so I'm not going to be blamed for my actions.

Maybe Raina didn't tell her mother because of that past, too.

''No, Feria-sama. I only helped her a little at the end. I didn't do anything worthy of praise.''

Raina says humbly.

'Totally good at playing nice in front of my mother.

'No, Raina. 'No, Raina, I heard you were worried about Tona and rushed to her, didn't you? So the rumors that they were not getting along were different. I was very relieved.

My mother seems very happy.

Me and Raina don't get along with each other, but as expected, we are very quiet in front of my mother.

That's why my mother doesn't know how close Raina and I really are.

You are sisters. You care for each other, and if there are hardships, you work together to face them. That's how it should be.

My mother looks at me and Raina as she sips her tea.

I can't help but look at Lena's face.

Raina has a subtle look on her face. I'm sure I have the same subtle look on my face as well.

I'm troubled by the fact that we are called sisters.

''Hmph, surely you two are connected in a deep way. Perhaps you will fall in love with the same Highness.

My mother says happily as she eats her candy.

I almost shouted, ”No, I don't.

I will never like the brave man of light.

It is true that he is a ridiculously beautiful figure.

But for me, I prefer Kuroki.

It's Kroki that I love.

And Kroki has won him over, the lover of Lena.

The man I love has beaten the man Lena loves.

And I rejoice in that.

I feel bad that I'm taking advantage of Kroki. But I couldn't stop this thought.

I must have a bad character.

I can't laugh at the black-hearted Reena.

Gently I touch her lower belly.

Thinking about Kuroki gives me a warm feeling.

I think back to the night of the gypseal, which was a bit of a tough one.

Gently, I look at Raina sideways, and she's looking at me, too.

Their eyes were somewhat quizzical.

The black-haired wise man Chiyuki.

I managed to escape Sirone's pursuit and I am in the archives.

There's no way I can explain Brulrunn.

I'll stay here for a while.

Then I decide to organize the information I've gathered until the antidote arrives.

In my hand, I have the material from Gypseal that I gathered through the magic of copying.

I read it and let out a sigh.

''What's the matter, Chiyuki-san? Letting out a sigh?

What the hell?

I can't help but shout out as I'm suddenly approached from behind.

Before I know it, Nao is behind me.

'Hey, Nao-san? What are you doing here? Since when?

It's been a while. More than that? What's going on? What were you reading and letting out a sigh?

Nao looks at the material in my hand.

Oh, this. I had some doubts about this, so I gathered up some materials and found that they were getting more and more confusing. So I just let out a sigh.

Is this what you're wondering about?

Yes. Like, for example, the Gypsial thing. I didn't see any specific mention of them in the mythology of St. Renaria, so I had to look them up.

There is no mention of Gypseal in the myths I have researched in the archives of the St. Renarian Republic.

So I gathered the material from the Gypsies.

So, how did it go?

'The result was just a headache. According to Gypsir's mythology, this world was created by the brother and sister gods of Ushalus and Sekhmetra. And I didn't see any mention of the Demon King Modes in Raina or the God King Odis at all.

Nao looks surprised when I say this.

'It's a bit of a contradiction, isn't it? As I recall, wasn't it the gods of Elyos who created this world? What do you mean by that?

'I'd like to hear that. I've asked Ishtia about that, and she says she created this world. I don't know if she's serious or not, though.

I think back to my conversation with Ishtia and hold my head up.

She doesn't take the past seriously, as if she doesn't care about it in the first place.

To begin with, Ishtia is said to be the goddess of falsehoods.

I guess the truth doesn't matter as long as it's interesting.

It's a good idea to talk about it with Reno-chan next time. I'm sure Reno would know if it's a lie or not.

He shook his head at Nao's words.

'I've thought about that, but if she uses the magic of falsehoods, even Reno can't help me. In fact, she could do it.''

Among the benefits that the Ishtia congregation gets is the blessing of falsehood.

There is no reason why she, the person herself, cannot use that magic.

When you use the magic of falsehoods, you can cheat your lie-sensing.

In this case, if Lino's magic power is higher than Ishtia's, he can detect a lie, but Ishtia's magic power seems to be high.

Even Reno's lie-sensing ability might not help.

'I really don't know what to believe, do I?

Really. ......

Nao is right.

We each talk about what we want to do.

I've read a novel called ”In the bush” and that's exactly what it is.

It's difficult to grasp the truth because each of them is so contradictory and complex.

The only thing we can do now is to make a steady study of the situation and make a selection of information.

Well, that's what it comes down to, isn't it?

Me and Nao let out a sigh together.

'Yeah, right. Speaking of not knowing, there's another one.

Nao clapped her hands together as she remembered.

'What I don't understand? What's that?

Is there anything more?

What's a burleen? Actually, Sirone asked me to go and ask her.

Hearing this, I slid off my chair.

Raina, the goddess of wisdom and victory.

From Tiangong to my room, I return to my room.

In the end, I didn't let Feria-sama know about Kuroki and Totona's relationship.

Because that would have meant that I would have also saved Rage with the help of Kuroki.

And I'm not going to admit that Kuroki and Totona are close.

So I'm not going to say anything.

Besides, there's no way that cowardly Totona could have done something so bold. That's why there was nothing to say.

I tell myself that.

'Ma!'

When I enter the room, Kouki toddles over and clings to my leg.

'Welcome back, Lady Raina. Apparently, she's noticed you're coming back.

We get a report from Denebola, the war maiden who was taking care of Kouki.

Kouki is getting bigger and bigger.

It will be difficult to raise him in my palace as it is.

I want to keep Kouki's existence as secret as possible.

I feel sorry for him, but he needs to be kept in a safe place.

But where do we put him?

You're with your father, Kroki? No, you can't! Kouki becomes the Dark Knight.

Where would you go then?

So that's it.

A human country called Eldo or something like that, built by Rage and Chiyuki.

I will leave it in my temple that was built there.

Koki, who is my blood, has power. As such, it stands out in the land of ordinary humans.

But it would not be noticeable on the side of Rage and the others who are equally powerful.

Thinking about this, I held Kouki in my arms.

You will find a happy face on Kouki.

'Kouki. You're a strong boy, you can put up with it. Be a fine knight to protect your mother.

Then he smiled at Kouki.
