041 – Queen of the Night #3

041 – Queen of the Night #3

Tywin Cladeco is a first-year elementary school student.

The world is turbid in many ways, but he wasn’t a kid who deserved to be in the entertainment district.

“What are you doing here?”

“Come on, give it back… !”

Tywin Cladeko struggled to retrieve the veil that had been stolen from me.

Since I couldn’t calm down, I had no choice but to return his things.

snap. Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Tywin calmed down, as if he had become stable only after hiding his identity again.

and he told me

“I am an astrologer. A shaman who serves the morning star and Efar, the queen of dawn. I can look at the stars and foretell a person’s future. And I knew you would be here today.”

“Miss. You mean the great warrior of the demins? You mean you missed school because you knew I was coming? It’s amazing.”

There were beings called gods in this world.

They are called Demiurges, and I heard that they give strength to those who serve them and receive sacrifices and devotion in return.

Among those who served Demiurge, there were those who were especially loved and trusted by the gods.

They were called warriors or shamans.

The saintess of the Church of Yahbach, the Heavenly Father, was like that, and the demon king Sabrnak, the earthly representative of Nocturne, the dark shadow, was like that.

The Grand Master of the Sunlight Ascension is probably of the same type.

“What was Queen Efar? Where have you heard of it?”

There were many gods in this world.

I remember that it was well over ten.

So while I was thinking for a while, Astrologer Tywin said.

“To put it simply, she is the goddess who governs the magic of the world.”

“That’s right. You are the warrior of the goddess served by the mages. Can you become a champion even though you’re only a freshman in elementary school?”

“In the eyes of the gods, all human ages are there. Do you measure the lifespan of a ephemera? Now, an hour-old ephemera and an 8-hour ephemera are the same.”

is it.

Even so, as a human being, I didn’t like being in a place like this where a kid, now a first grader, was surrounded by nasty adults.

Originally, I wouldn’t have cared about it because it was someone else’s business.

I couldn’t stay still because I thought I was the same age as Naru.

“Anyway, Tywin, I’ll tell your mother what you’re doing here.”

“You can’t talk!”

It was astrologer Tywin who screamed.

It was not the attitude of a girl caught simply for doing something mean.

“My mother, El Cladeco, is a dangerous person. If my mother finds out that I’ve become God’s champion, I… I will die.”

“… yes?”

They were a strange mother and daughter.

To die to my mother—the words.

It seemed vaguely clear that it was not a mere metaphor.

I was able to figure out one thing quickly, having nurtured my senses in many ways in all kinds of situations.

“Come to think of it, Brigitte said she had one source she could trust. is that you? The person who gave Brigitte the information that El Cladeco, the head of the academy, is colluding with demons.”

“… … .”

Instead of answering, the girl Tywin was silent.

There was nothing wrong with it, so it seemed that my guess was roughly correct.

indeed.

Daughter of El Cladeco.

There is probably no other source who can see El Cladeco up close and steal information like this child.

Shuk.

Soon Tywin opened two fingers.

and he told me

“There are a total of two questions that Epar, the Mother of Dawn, has allowed you to ask. Today I’m going to answer two of your questions. Therefore, it is better to choose your questions carefully.”

is it two

I could see that I was at a crossroads.

Someone might criticize me for being so serious in front of a first grader in elementary school.

If you are a warrior of God, the story is different.

“Two.”

First of all, do we have to ask about the location of ‘Apostolic Monk Mara’?

I came to see this astrologer because Enkidus requested it.

“Where is Apostate Mara?”

Sussuk-.

At my question, Little Astrologer Tywin placed his palm on the crystal in front of him. Then, as he muttered an incantation, the round crystal ball began to emit light.

“He is in the shadows. It is so dark that even the light of Efar, the mother of dawn, cannot reveal it. I don’t know where it is.”

“what. You asked me a question and you said you couldn’t answer it?”

“I said I’d listen to the question, but I didn’t say I’d give you the answer.”

Anyway.

The gods of this world are like this.

There’s nothing good about listening to people’s requests.

But for me, this was enough of an answer.

Even if an astrologer, who is considered to be the goddess’s shaman, tried to find out through a strange crystal ball, if it was in the shadow to the point where it was impossible to know the location, the place was identified.

“Now I have one question left.”

“Last question… .”

“The one who steals money boxes in the dark, thief Judas. You would do well to choose your last question especially carefully.”

Actually, there are many questions in my life.

I was always full of question marks.

What I’m curious about right now is probably who my wife is—.

—Whose daughter is Naru?

No, what’s more important than that is when is Naru born?

naruto’s birthday

I wanted to ask about it.

But before I could talk about it, a question that had been floating around in my head for a very long time, vacantly, suddenly popped between my lips.

“What am I… .”

why the hell am i here

always wondered

Why am I struggling on this strange continent of Pangea after buying ice cream at a convenience store?

There is a cause and effect in everything.

It was clear that there must be a reason for my involuntary runaway.

Even if it’s a coincidence, there must be a reason for that coincidence.

It was actually for this reason that he participated in the subjugation of the demon lord.

Why, in common stories, when you defeat the demon king, the summoned warriors return or find out the true intentions of the world.

Of course, that wasn’t the case in my case.

“I… .”

“… … .”

Tywin tilted his head under the veil.

No, the eyes that began to shine like dawn under the veil were different from Tywin’s.

“You who have been stolen. tell me your question We don’t have much time allowed.”

the astrologer asked again.

It was a very polite story.

“me… .”

A lot of thoughts went through my head.

And I was able to draw conclusions.

“I want to know Naru’s birthday.”

“Is that really enough?”

“yes.”

thru-.

The eyes of the dawn that had been shining behind the veil slowly closed under the eyelids.

Astrologer with closed eyes.

She took a slow breath and opened her mouth.

“In the name of Efar, the one who watches the stars. Your daughter, Naru, is the daughter of a lion that rips everything apart. It is the child of a maiden playing in the grass. Blessings be with the newly shining divinity as the two stars that cannot meet each other walk the same path.”

“What are you talking about? When is Naru’s birthday?”

It was an incomprehensible answer.

However, the astrologer Tywin gave only a rough breath and did not give an interpretation of this.

“My work for today ends with this. Now you have to go back home. Mum might be suspicious. Could you please take me home?”

* * *

“Judas, who is that girl?”

Enkidus asked me.

Tywin walking next to me looks strange.

“He’s an astrologer.”

“okay.”

I said it because I thought you wouldn’t be surprised.

The reaction of the monk Enkidus was surprisingly calm.

“Isn’t it amazing? That such a small child is an astrologer?”

“There are so many things happening in the world that cannot be explained in words. It is said that the Great Master of the Small Vehicles also realized the way of light when his first birthday passed. Perhaps this girl also seems to have an incomprehensible bond and karma.”

“is it. Anyway, I’m going to take him now. And the information about Mara was roughly obtained. It is said that it is difficult to determine its location because it is hidden in the darkness so deep that it cannot be seen with the light of dawn.”

“Is that so. That alone is enough information. Rather, the small monk is now going to wander around the 61st Street. Because I could see that I was worried about it—”

“vampire?”

I thought of women with holes in their necks.

Then Enkidus answered with his golden eyes shining brightly.

“Judas, it seems that you have already seen it too. There’s a vampire on this 61st street. It’s not an ordinary person, but it seems to be quite strong. They commanded a lot of familiar bats.”

“yes?”

“Even Judas must be careful not to be bitten. If you get bitten by a bat, your karma becomes cloudy and you become a vampire. If that happens, there is no answer other than to defeat the host before the first year rises.”

“That much I know. And Brigitte and Garot must have noticed it already. Would they help?”

“Then, the small monk will go first.”

Shuk-.

After the monk joined his hands together, he leaped quickly.

It took less than three seconds for his figure to disappear in front of me.

All that’s left is Tywin.

“Where is your house?”

“No. 1. Room 505, 5th floor, Building 25, 3rd Street.”

“I don’t know if you can say that. Guide me.”

I went to his house with little Cladeco.

His house seemed to be on the top floor of a five-story villa.

It was such a good building that there was a guard on the first floor.

Shall we say that the form covered with red carpets from the entrance and lobby exudes the feeling that it is a home for bourgeois?

However, Tywin Cladeko seemed hesitant to enter the building.

“Aren’t you going in?”

“I forgot to go home yesterday. If the guard saw that I had returned home at this time, he would definitely tell my mother, and my mother would try to interrogate me.”

“I see, you don’t want to go in through the front door.”

Shuk-.

I lifted up Cladeco.

“Aww… ! uh, what are you doing… ! Touching a lady’s body carelessly… !”

“Quiet. if you don’t want to get caught. And now a little 8 year old what a lady. Of course it’s a good attitude. That way, your princess power will increase. great.”

Pot-!

Leaping into the air, I clung to the outer wall of the building.

And quickly climbed up on top of it.

“Is this your house?”

“yes. I never thought I would enter my house through the window. It’s like a complete thief.”

The top floor reached in no time.

The window was open, so I just went inside.

Clothes are scattered here and there, and garbage is roughly piled up.

“Isn’t your mother doing the housework?”

“I am busy with work. Isn’t that what most wizards who have gone beyond the realm feel like?”

“is it.”

Well, most of the high-level wizards I’ve met looked like knowledge-mad doctors.

Brigitte was like that when we first met.

Still, Brigitte was pretty good at living for a wizard.

anyway.

Tywin seemed quite used to living in this messy, filthy house.

Watching him move in a vast and empty place, I said lightly.

“I know you work as an astrologer, but don’t go to number 61. Maybe today will turn everything upside down. Honestly, not a place for kids to run around. I will buy it someday.”

“… … .”

Tywin didn’t answer.

Thinking that he is an unfriendly guy—I exited the building through the window again.

Return to Brigitte’s laboratory.

It was a little past school time.

Today, Brigitte, Garrot, and Enkidus are all busy, so I was worried that Naru would be alone in the lab.

Gi profit-.

The lab arrived quickly, probably because I was in a bit of a hurry.

“Naruya, are you inside?”

“Yes!”

pat-.

Naru jumped out of the room and hugged my leg.

When I saw the guy’s face, I felt strangely relieved.

“Naru is here!”

“I also thought you were kidnapped or something. I couldn’t pick you up during dismissal time.”

“Today was fine! Hey, I ate toast at Naru School today! Toast was delicious! Also, Tywin was absent from school, and today he had self-study… .”

Naru talked nonstop about what had happened all day today.

It’s like living through the day and saying, ‘I’ll have to tell my dad what happened today… It was an attitude that seemed to be prepared.

“Naru joined forces with two cats in a dream, and their name is Naruberos… !”

“Yes, yes.”

When I hear it, I feel strangely relieved.

Then I could see a bandage wrapped around Naru’s wrist.

“Naru, what is that?”

“Oh, this? I was bitten by an animal while looking for Naru’s familiar!”

“Are you bitten by an animal?”

Have you ever met a raccoon with rabies?

I slowly loosened the bandage on my left wrist to apply the medicine.

However, the moment the wound was revealed, the impression was frowned upon.

“What is this?”

“I met a strange bat on my way! It’s a big bat, and it looked so big and strong! Naru, I tried to make a familiar, but I was rejected! I got bitten!”

“Ow, shack… .”

“Ow, shack… ! That bat, I will definitely find it… ! It must be a very large and strong fantasy animal… !”

Naru raised her hands high and shouted.

The fangs began to sharpen for some reason as Naru laughed and opened his mouth wide.
