32 「Mornins Neighbor」 (2/2)

Momon turned his head to look at Jack once more, he couldn't argue with the words Ninya had used, but he didn't verbally agree. He brushed it off. ”No,” he said before hearing someone hooting, he recognized the voice almost immediately.

It couldn't have been anyone else but Lupusregina Beta herself. She loved food, that was for sure and while she was sure to have that cheery personality. She was indeed a sadist.

Nabe watched the brown-skinned beauty athletically and impatiently making her way down the steps of the fortress. Her long braided red hair bouncing as she did so. She was still in her maid outfit and following behind her were some of the homunculi maids and even CZ2I28 Delta from Nazarick were coming down after her. Each of them had plates or bowls in their hands with good piled on it. Amongst them was Pestonya.

”When did they...”

”Aura told them about the food I prepared, Pestonya wanted to try it in order to be able to replicate it in Nazarick.” Jack chuckled smugly as it appeared he had gathered the attention of Momon's more humanoid looking subordinates. Though Pestonya didn't seem at all to appear human as she was a dog with a humanoid body. It freaked quite a few people out, but at the same time, it was quick to get used to. At least for Jack when he first saw her and the villagers who are getting used to the nonhumans of the Citadel.

”I see..” Momon before his eyes flashed over towards the two girls, noticing he spoke of the Great Tomb right in front of them without reservation. Yet, they didn't seem at all confused. They knew, or at least had an idea.

In reality, Arche had tried no to hurl the moment she laid eyes on Momon. She also tried extremely hard not to react to the massive amount of magic energy he gave off. It wasn't something she was used to whatsoever even though she was hanging around Jack since this morning.

”Would you like to visit their graves?”

Momon was quiet for a second before subtly nodding.

The seven of them proceeded to make their way over to the graves and came to a stop in front of them.

Momon watched as Jack walked closer to each of the grave markers and placed a pebble on each one of them. He if he had eyelids, he'd blink several times seeing this. His eyes turned to look at him, recognizing the religion which was being emulated here.

The majority of Japan's population were practitioners of Shinto or Buddhism, while less than ten percent followed other religions such as the western Abrahamic religions.

As he thought back to Japan, he knew at least one person with jewish heritage who genuinely ignored it. They were also one of the few non-Japanese who lived in Japan. ”You told me your name before...”

”And it didn't ring a bell?”

Momon tilted his head to the side the best he could with the helmet on. ”Did I meet you outside of YGGDRASIL?”

”I was working in Information Technologies when I first came to Japan.”

”Japan?” Ninya and Arche both looked at them, confused by all the terms and names of places that have been used. Neither of them knew what they were talking about.

Nabe appeared to smile for at least two seconds before it faded back to her normal sharp expression. She had the pride to know some of what they were talking about, and saw the lesser ones as losers whom were left out of the loop.

Momon caressed the 'chin' of his helmet, ”Oh.”

…

Several hours had gone by as they talked back and forth.

Momon was able to tell that for the time being, Jack could be trusted. He didn't seem to have any intent to go against him or the Great Tomb of Narazick. Which was much to his own pleasure, than it was anyone else's. The last thing he needed right now in a world he barely understood, was super-powered enemy that could take him on with a frontal assault and likely win.

That and he learned he actually met him a few times at work himself, the only European salary man once working in the same place he did.

However out of everything, he was quick to catch onto the idea that Jack was planning on taking over the Kingdom they were currently working out of. Judging by how he was acting, he planned on manipulating the minds of those within the Royal Palace, or at least their ambitions.

Of course it appeared only one of the companions were aware of this, or at least that is how it seemed. Arche had an idea of what he was going to do, Ninya probably only had a hint.

It was approaching the late afternoon, the Blue Roses were making their way over towards Momon and Nabe, along with Jack and Ninya.

Arche, seeing the team of women along with Climb making their way over, had taken her sisters and moved back to the house in the village to get them ready for supper.

Within a couple minutes the group were standing in a semi-circle in front of the four others.

”It's time to go, Jack.” Lakyus said as she had her arms crossed before glancing over towards Momon and Nabe. They were the third Adamantite Adventurer group to rise up in the Kingdom. ”You must be the Adventurers of Darkness, pleasure to meet you. We're the Blue Roses. What's your business here?”

Momon looked over at the woman with the Warrior Priestess Getup and 'cleared' his throat. ”Uh.. Huh. Jack has hired us to protect the Village in his absence.”

The Blue Roses stared at the group for a few moments before looking towards the armaments of the wall and even the citadel itself, before looking at the party known as Darkness. Who or what needed protection here? This whole place was fortified to the gills! They had cannons! Whatever those were...

”And offered to demonstrate Tenth Tier Magic.”

”That's speak of Myth,” Lakyus scoffed, not believing even an abnormality such as Jack could do such a thing. Well that was before looking over to Jack who was wearing a serious expression and her disbelief slowly drained into an endless abyss.
