079 – Stray cat or house cat # 2

A dagger that Naru found underground.

It was an object that looked exactly like the crescent moon dagger that Hina was holding.

Not just things that look alike, but things that are exactly the same.

Could such a thing exist?

“What?”

Feeling puzzled, Naru snatched the dagger from the stone statue.

Woo woo-.

The dagger resonated with a strange feeling, but it was good that it was like that to Naru.

“Hina! Look at this! It’s the same thing!”

Naru approached Hina.

Hina also narrowly opened her eyes and alternately looked at her dagger and the object Naru was holding. The emotions reflected in those eyes were profound in many ways.

pat-.

“oh! What! They seem to be attracted to each other!”

Naru was startled as the dagger in her hand tried to cling to Hina’s dagger.

It was a force so strong that even a child’s power could not stop it, and eventually the daggers collided with each other and surprisingly became one.

Yes.

Two completely identical objects merged together to become one.

“Ow, shack… ! Look at this! 1 plus 1 can sometimes be 1! The answer Naruga wrote on the test paper yesterday was not wrong!”

It was Naru who raised her hand.

1 plus 1 equals 1.

The dagger that caused the strange thing was now in Salome’s hand.

“Nocturne’s Dagger”.

It seemed like a good thing to call it by that name.

“This is an artifact of Demiurge. I can feel the new energy seething.”

Demiurge’s artifact.

In some cases, it was a great item that could even buy a fort with knights.

The fact that the spear used by Yahbach, the god of light, when he was still a mortal, has been designated as a sacred object of the church and managed as a treasure among treasures.

Maybe this dagger is like that, thought Salome.

As evidence of that, Salome’s hand holding the dagger was overflowing with power.

Owning a dagger felt like a new thing that could be called a “skill” had been created.

Of course, I didn’t want to tell you what that skill was.

Because the more you hide, the better.

A world where you don’t know when your colleagues and family will turn into enemies, just like the conversation just happened.

It was good to have a bunch of secret Jokers.

‘But this isn’t really my thing. He said it was the knife that the little boy named Hina was holding. Even though the most important kid has disappeared.’

It is common knowledge among thieves that if the owner does not find it, it becomes the property of the person who obtained it.

Therefore, the [Nocturne’s Dagger] was intended for Salome.

I wasn’t going to give it to her even if she asked me to return it later, but what bothered me was the story that Naru said about the ‘gourmet shaman’.

greedy maiden.

Even in Tenebris, the person who was hidden in many ways was a little boy named Hina.

‘I might need to check it out. He said he had the same item as this dagger. I’m also curious about where he got it.’

Why did the daggers merge into one?

It was common sense that Demiurge’s artifact was a mysterious and suspicious object in many ways, but somehow it bothered me.

‘Maybe there are several daggers like this?’

* * *

The night was longer than expected.

Since I was hungry, I grabbed a lantern and headed to the kitchen to eat some leftovers from the party – before I thought about it, someone was sitting at the table.

“Is it Bridget?”

“Would you like some strawberries?”

“It’s good.”

It was refreshing to eat the fruit on the plate.

Very tasty.

With such admiration, he asked Brigitte.

“The inside of the mansion is a bit broken. 2nd floor hallway. Brigitte, it was the traces of your fight with another mage. Is it El Cladeco?”

“that’s right. El Cladeco. That guy had something to do with this. But I didn’t say it on purpose before. I just didn’t want to complicate the situation.”

That’s right.

Could it be that Brigitte had a fight with El Cladeco?

That would also mean that we also revealed that we were secretly tracking El Cladeco behind the scenes or digging up information.

In its own way, it was not like the cautious Brigitte.

“So, how did it go?”

I asked.

Then, Brigitte said while crunching a fresh salad.

“He asked me to join hands. What kind of research are you doing? you need my help The reason they tried to kidnap Caesar this time was to cover the cost of research.”

“yes? So what did you answer? You want to hold hands.”

“Of course I withheld the answer. I don’t know which choice to make is right. But according to what El Cladeco said, Judas, he said he might be able to save you.”

“That’s right. It seems difficult to answer right away.”

Mara’s invasion.

Betrayal of the female warrior queen.

All the way to El Cladeco.

It was a crazy day in many ways.

Not just me, but everyone did.

Passeuk-.

Then something appeared in Dawn’s kitchen.

It was Naru, a girl with dark hair rubbing her eyes.

“Ah… ! Dad is eating all the Naru strawberries! For some reason, I thought that would be the case, so I came to the kitchen with an ominous feeling. As expected, Naru’s premonition was not wrong!”

“It feels good.”

“hehehehe… ! The strawberries I’ve been saving to eat with my cereal tomorrow morning are running out!”

“Hi-Hi.”

Naru was shocked to see the few remaining strawberries.

Then, looking at a can of melon next to him, he let out a sigh of relief.

“Still, there are still melons, so that’s okay!”

Naru brought a melon and asked me to cut it.

I cut the fruit with a sharp knife and gave it to Naru, but I wondered if eating fruit late at night was a good thing to increase princess power.

“Hee hee, the melon is delicious!”

But seeing how Naru likes it, I was really happy today.

I was tired in many ways, but I have to say that seeing the kids smile gives me strength.

I felt like I knew why adults buy whole chicken for their kids on tired days.

With that feeling, time passes and morning.

“Dad, I will go to school then!”

“You Sifnoi, today you are paying close attention to Kore Naru’s going to and from school… !”

Naru set off for the school.

There was an incident like that yesterday, and I wonder if all the kids will be okay-I felt that way.

well, it’ll be fine

They are all bright kids.

“The problem is the garden.”

After the children were gone, I roughly tidied up the mansion.

The garden, where the bad guys ran amok, is in a state where it can’t be touched.

It seemed like it would be better to just call someone to sort it out.

“How’s the inside?”

The interior of the mansion was also damaged during the fight between Brigitte and El Cladeco.

Fortunately, Brigitte had adjusted her strength, and the wall was slightly torn or damaged.

If Brigitte had shown her true intentions, the mansion itself would have been blown away.

Good luck.

Did Brigitte also have a feeling that this mansion was her ‘home’?

“Write.”

Come to think of it, I didn’t get the answer yesterday.

I confessed to Brigitte with a big heart.

How dare you mess with my plans.

Mara and Queen.

bad guys

I’ll have to get rid of it somehow to get rid of it.

With that thought in mind, I descended into the basement of the mansion.

In the basement of the mansion, there was a secret temple that I discovered in the aftermath of yesterday’s fight.

It looked like a decapitated statue of a god standing holding a skull.

Did you hear that a dagger was held in the other hand?

“I didn’t know something like this could be underground.”

Nocturne’s statue was something I had never seen before.

What effect does it have?

Does the probability of succeeding in stealing increase if you flip a coin in front of you like Snix’s new statue?

Shuk-.

Then I felt a presence behind me.

There are few people who would quietly approach me from behind like this.

“Is it Garot?”

“yes.”

It was Garot.

From last night to morning, I must have investigated the temple in this basement.

the guy said

“There was no such thing as a trap. I don’t feel any satanic abhorrence. It seems that this place has already lost its meaning as a sanctuary a long time ago.”

“Is that so? that’s nice to hear To be honest, I don’t like it because it makes me feel bad to have such a pagan facility under my house. Nocturne’s statue.”

“Isn’t that what you meant, Judas? Because you are Nocturne’s vessel. If you rise and transcend the realm, won’t you become the owner of the statue here?”

At Garot’s question, I thought for a moment.

When I reached level 50.

I was destined to become the Nocturne in front of me.

I killed Sabrnak, the demon king who tried to become Nocturne’s vessel by annihilating mankind, and took away the vessel’s qualifications that he had.

At the time, there was no other way.

Garot looked at the decapitated stone statue and added words.

“Judas, are you going to disappear? Just as Philemon, a mortal, ascended to heaven as Yahbach, the god of light, and became Demiurge, a transcendental being who forgot the memories and emotions of his life.”

“Honestly, I don’t know.”

I’ve never reached level 50 yet.

But I could vaguely feel it.

It’s about saying that if you transcend it, something big will happen.

That’s why I didn’t actively participate in the fight yesterday.

“Judas, is it impossible to hand over your vessel to someone else? You could call the apostate monk Mara I met yesterday quite evil.”

“I want to do that too. I can’t hand it over unless it’s some kind of villain. It can only be given to those who have accumulated a lot of unholy karma. To be honest, even if I give it to you, the bowl will only come back to me.”

I was also trying to pass it on.

Like this bomb.

I was just going to give it to the bad robbers.

However, the robber who took over could not stand it and exploded.

And again the bowl just returned to me.

In other words.

It was said that it was impossible to pass the bowl unless you were a villain enough to jump at me.

The problem arose there.

“If there is a villain that surpasses me, there is probably only the Demon King. So, the Tenebris guys are probably trying to resurrect the demon king again.”

“But if the demon king is resurrected, it will mean that the world will be engulfed in war again. That must be the problem.”

“It’s good that you understand quickly.”

The appearance of a villain who surpassed me was a disaster in itself.

It was clear that Naru and the little ones would lose their princess powers if they lived in such a world.

“They are little children… .”

Thinking about it, the story about Cecily and Garrot came to mind.

Cecily is my daughter and there is a high probability that Garot is my wife.

He hadn’t had a chance to meet Garrot and Cecily recently, so he wondered how he could convey this fact.

that’s how it happened Shall we take a peek at the opportunity for the two of us?

“Garot, I heard you’ve been hanging out with Cecily often these days.”

“Ah, it was. The little kid held out to me some gold coins and jewels he had brought from somewhere. It was an unusually large amount for a kid to have.”

“yes? Where did you even steal it? Why did you give it to me?”

“You told me to find your mom and dad.”

“… Five.”

“But now that I’ve found the traces of the demon I was after, it’s time to return to my job. I found almost all traces of the imp. I don’t know if I’ll be leaving the Principality of Phrygia sooner or later. I couldn’t find even a trace of Cecily’s mother or father.”

“Garrot. Speaking of that Cecily’s mom and dad—”

ㅡ kong kong.

As I was about to tell the story, a squirrel with a nice black stripe on its back squirmed Garot from his leg to his shoulder.

ㅁ Kungkong!

It was a squirrel that barked like a dog.

Was it a species called dog squirrel?

Garot frowned at his barking.

“What? You found traces of an imp? I get it. Go now.”

Saying that, Garot moved quickly and left the mansion.

“Leaving the Principality of Phrygia soon.”

I didn’t even think about it.

is this ok?

“It is difficult. Garot shouldn’t leave this city. Now that this has happened, do we have no choice but to tell the truth?”

Feeling the ambiguity of the situation in many ways, I swept the garden with a broom.

Now that it’s lunch time, it’s time to think about whether you should eat the leftovers from yesterday’s party food.

I could see the grass in the garden swaying with a pause.

“What. Who are you? This is private property, so you can’t come in without permission.”

“… … .”

“I know who is hiding there.”

Are you thinking of pretending not to be in front of me?

Even if I look like this, I am the one who is called the king of thieves.

Are you a thief?

Just when I thought I should show the real group, the bush shook again.

“Meow.”

I heard a cat cry.

Could it be that the cat, not the thief, was hiding in the mansion’s garden?

When?

Even if you are a thief cat, it is absolutely impossible for you to sneak into this mansion.

If it’s a first-class thief, I don’t know.

Are you a first-class stray cat?

In other words, a stray cat professional?

“Well… .”

By the way.

If you look closely, the hem of your skirt is sticking out of the bush.

It’s a fairly familiar skirt hem.

It’s good at walking around stealthily, but it seems that it’s not good at hiding.

I pretended to know nothing.

“He’s too docile for a burglar cat. Not even once.”

“… hahahaha!”

“Are you listening to me? It’s a very strange cat. It must be a very aristocratic cat.”

“It is.”

“… … .”

“… oh… fuck… .”

Is there a cat that speaks such swear words?

“Hey guy, got it.”

I reached into the bush and pulled the trespasser up.

He was wearing a Graham Academy uniform like Naru, with his long blonde hair and blue-eyed face.

“Letting go of this!”

Cecily struggled as I grabbed the scruff of her neck.

Wouldn’t that be exactly what cat hunters feel when they spot a pup of an expensive breed cat wandering the streets?

I need to catch that guy, get the responsibility right away, and sell him at a high price-it feels like.

I could feel the same feeling watching Cecily playing polka dots here even though it was time to be at school.

A little girl from Princess Power B-.

I need to kidnap them and ransom them to their parents-it feels like that.

Of course, this guy’s parents are probably me.

I couldn’t get a ransom from me, so I just asked out of curiosity.

“Cecily, it must be class time. What are you doing here?”
