Chapter 139
Chapter 139
Viine stopped being a slave, but it looks like she still wants to accompany me .
Therefore, she became a normal attendant .
Exhausted from her long delve into her past, she fell asleep soon after .
We just came back from the labyrinth after all, I guess she pushed herself a bit too much .
Even her sleeping face looks beautiful .
Moments ago I felt somewhat anxious, but...
When I'm looking at her peaceful face...
She doesn't seem to be lying about wanting to gain my trust .
Though she appears to harbor prejudices about men, especially weak men . I feel that that was unavoidable going by her past .
However, I comprehended that in dark elf society, an alpha male, a strong man is instead regarded as a valuable being .
The dark elves' matriarchy is probably a part of their education to build a better race . Since men are low-ranked in the hierarchy, I'm sure it's quite difficult to find "strong males" among them .
That's why the superior women take the initiative and welcome strong men as their husbands, in the hopes of leaving behind a more excellent offspring for their community .
It's for the sake of allowing the Sorcery Nobles, who are their family, to prosper .
Well, luckily it ended without me losing an excellent person like her .
After all, I didn't want to force her to become my bloodkin with my <Suzerain of Household> skill . If I were to turn her, I want to do it after both of us had agreed to .
I mean, a bloodkin attendant will become a vampire, after all .
That doesn't matter if they have light resistance like I do, but...
I won't know if they will until I actually try it out .
I believe whoever it is will be fine since they are going to inherit my blood, but...
If she became a vampire who's unable to walk around during the day after becoming <Head Attendant>, it would be my responsibility...
I guess I will try asking Veronica and Paulsen about this next time .
But, although it's Viine...if she learned that I'm actually the first of a new race of vampires, an inhuman person that sucks blood...what will she do?
Will she go into denial and run away?
Even under normal circumstances, she's a woman who discriminates against the people on the surface .
It's possible .
Having said that, not revealing my true identity is...
On the contrary, isn't that me not trusting her?
At least I think so...
Hmm...
I guess it's still alright... Viine is sleeping .
Right now there are other things I should do .
Let's postpone my confession .
First, I have to supply the collected magic stones to the item box . Then, I'll check out the items I got from the treasure chest .
Afterward, I will test that Mist Mirage ring I received from the silver chest .
That ring should be using the magic technique <Sage Art>, right?
I haven't trained that too much, have I?
I suppose I will train <Sage Art> once in a while from now on as well .
Now then, I will offer the magic stones to the item box .
I touch the item box .
"Open . " (Shuuya)
After activating the item box, I retrieve one hundred magic stones from within and place them on the floor .
Next, I pressed the ◆ mark in the menu .
◆: Total stored quantity of Elenium: 60
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Necessary Elenium stones: 90 - incomplete

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Just as usual, a list is displayed on the right side of the window .
On the left side of the window, there is also something displayed .
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――
◆ Please insert the Elenium stones here .
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――
I dumped all one hundred of the medium-sized magic stones into the big ◆ mark .
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Necessary Elenium stones: complete
Reward: Storage +20 and Kaleidoscope released .
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Oooh? It shines .
As the text depicting the release of the rewards appeared, countless motes of light flew out of the item box .
Those light particles then gather together, just over my head, and vanish .
The amalgam of light disappeared, but a small, cross-shaped metal piece floated in the space where the light had vanished .
Is that the Kaleidoscope?
It has buttons and cross-keys, like that of a game controller .
I grabbed the floating object .
It feels like a metal badge .
I wonder how to use this?
I don't know, so I will postpone it .
While grasping the metallic cross, I looked at the window text floating above the item box .
I check the amount of Elenium stones .
◆: Total stored quantity of Elenium: 160
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Necessary Elenium stones: 200 - incomplete
Reward: Storage +25: Loading Dimension Scan Function
Necessary Big Elenium stones: 5 - incomplete
Reward: Storage +30: Release of Fold One Kareem Gun Set

Reward: Storage +35: Release of Fold One Kareem Uniform
??????
??????

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The number of Elenium stones properly totaled to 160 .
Since the next 200 didn't decrease, I guess they didn't count .
Even so, a new entry and reward for offering magic stones was added .
A uniform, I guess that's a defense item?
It requires big Elenium stones, huh?
...I'm pretty sure only the larger magic stones will work here .
It looks like gathering the magic stones will be a pain .
At that point I tap the window surface, returning to the item text .
The screen flickers back to its normal item text display alongside a *buuun* .
◆: Person-shaped mark: Storage: Memory
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Item Inventory: 65/120
Yay, the storage limit increased .
With this, I can put more items into the item box .
Next, I will check out the Kaleidoscope in my hand .
I erase the item box window and open the hand that is holding the scope .
The small Kaleidoscope's touch is cold .
Its pale, metallic surface is smooth and polished .
The back is somewhat rough .
It's not a magnet, but it seems to be made to stick to something, since objects similar to the metal parts at the end of batteries or terminals were visible .
At first, going by its name as Kaleidoscope, I had imagined it to be a kaleidoscope-like sunglasses or such, but its appearance is that of a small, cross-keyed button .
Its backside is coarse and sticky...
Do you maybe stick it on your skin?
As a test I press the center of the cross-shaped metal .
Whoa-! It shone . Bingo?
The polished surface of the cross-shaped metal shines a tinge of green .
However, that light has no effect .
Next, "Error, Error, Error" appears on the metal's surface in the different world letters .
Moreover, "Please equip next to your eyes . "
Small letters in red, as if giving a warning, stream horizontally like a news ticker .
So I have to equip this next to my eyes?
Once I affix it there...
Whoa! It sticks .
The cross-shaped metal clung to my skin next to my right eye, giving off a nice and cold feeling .
As it sticks to my forehead, it feels like Cold Pita . 1 At that moment holographic letters appear in front of my eyes .
—<<Fold One Kareem Support System Ver . 7>> Booting Up .
— Inject Inherited Nerves? Y / N
— Choosing Y to support TL - Ready this at infinitenoveltranslations . net
That's what it says . Fold One Kareem Support System?
Inherited Nerves? Will I be attacked by nanomachines, by some chance? Did something like a simple OS boot up?
Well, considering that I will power up, I guess I will let it inject them .
I press Y in my field of vision .
— Affirmative .
— Inherited nerves will be injected .
After more holographic words popped up, I felt a pricking pain running through my eye and the right side becomes blurry .
However, that blurriness clears up in no time, although my sight had changed a bit .
A thin, blue membrane covers my visual field .
— Unknown chemical elements . Checking antibodies . Probability for compatibility: 82% .
— Adaptation, successful .
Oh, a small, thin frame of pale light is added to the weak, blue film .
Not just walls and doors, everything within the range of my visual field changed into a picture with lines of light acting as borders .
A radar? A Heads-Up Display?
It apparently updated my eyesight .
It has a blue touch, but I can zoom-up .
I can see better than before, as well .
Even the sleeping Viine has a faint outline of light added to her contours . Huh? There's a ▽ cursor?
I'm bothered by the ▽ cursor atop the border, but the sensation of the skin next to my right eye feels odd somehow .
I look at my own face reflected in the mirror of a gate .
Oooh, my right eye has transformed .
I draw near the mirror and look closer .
The metal clinging to my temple had transformed into a big, 卍-shuriken-shaped form . 2Furthermore, blue, fiberglass-like, hairs penetrated my skin and extended into my right eyeball from the edge of the 卍-shaped metal .
It looks like a special, vibrant blue artificial eye implant .
Something like a contact lens has grown over its surface .
Is this a futuristic sc○ter?
Can I use it to check the fighting strength of an opponent like in Dragon Ba○?
Zar○n-san, Dodor○-san, chase them!
My fighting power is 53,000 .
Will something like that happen?
Sounds great...
Well, putting the jokes aside, I stare through my now blue vision .
Thereupon, in the corner of my eye, I see the following words:
— Please touch the attachment located next to your eye when you want it to switch into hibernation mode .
I guess I will try touching it .
Once I carefully touch the surface of the metal once, my field of vision returned to normal in an instant .
I check the mirror and see that my eye has reverted back as well .
That means it's possible to switch on the fly, huh?
The shape of the attachment also reverted into a cross-shaped metal .
Upon touching the metal once more, my sight switches over to faint blue again and the cross-shaped metal transforms into a 卍-shape .
Cool . It's like a memory alloy .
『Your Excellency's eyes are...mysterious . 』 (Helme)
Helme, who dwells in my left eye, said while appearing in my sight .
『I guess you're right . What does this eye look like to you, Helme?』 (Shuuya)
『It appears to be inorganic matter, but I feel slight traces of subtle mana . 』 (Helme)
I suppose even a spirit doesn't know anything beyond that .
I believe that mana is used in this futuristic device, but no matter how you look at it, it's obvious that it was created with unknown technology .
It probably exceeds Earth's science and technology .
I guess, as expected, it's a technology that's displayed after pressing human in the item box' menu .
First guess:
An advanced civilization lived on this star in the past, but they perished sometime before now? The standard would them having destroyed themselves with a huge spell at the level of nuclear warfare .
But in ancient times when Rollodeen was still called divine beast Roses, there was no hint of such an advanced civilization developing .
However, that was a story related to the underground, wasn't it? They might have expanded to a very great extent on the surface .
Second guess:
Such a civilization still remains in the dark world of the underground that Viine and the stray dwarf, Roa mentioned . It's similar to the first guess, but just like the first, its probability is low, isn't it?
Third guess:
Or are they in some isolated area on the surface?
A mirrored sky island?
Fourth guess:
An intelligent lifeform from outer space challenged the labyrinth, and died to something poisonous . As a result, only the item box passed into the hands of a native?
Or could it be a system made by advanced life forms that is employing the natives living on this planet .
An interstellar war between an Empire and an Alliance...yes, it might be a system to search for excellent jed○ knight-like recluses .
I guess that will be retorted by, "Death is naught but an illusion . " 3
However, when I look at this strange device that has assimilated with my eye, I remember a certain phrase .
"Highly advanced science is indistinguishable from magic . " 4 However, I can't really say that this Kaleidoscope is all scientific, can I?
Oh well, whatever . I'll leave this riddle alone for the time being .
At that point I shift my gaze towards the sleeping Viine .
I check the ▽ cursor located on top of the borders .
I wonder what this is about .
Just as I turned my attention towards Viine, the ▽ cursor blinks .
The lines tracing Viine's contours blink as well and her feet start to become transparent .
Everything is penetrated by something like a CT Scan starting from her soles .
Even her internal organs become visible, don't they?
The scan finished quickly and Viine's ▽ cursor becomes bigger .
――――――――――――――――
Carbon-type Napalm Life Form B-f###78
Brain Waves: stable, sleep state
Body: normal
Gender: female
Overall Physical Strength: 18
Elenium Integration: 520
Weapons: none
――――――――――――――――
Such numerical values appeared .
It's no joke . It seems like I was really correct with it being a sc○ter .
But although it has only been an instant, her body has become transparent, hasn't it?
Even though I could enjoy boobs whenever I felt like it if there was a device to only make clothes transparent .
Well, let's stop with the lecherous thoughts right there and continue the investigation .
As this function can measure the target's ability, it's close to an appraisal .
I get the brain waves and physical strength values, but what's with the Elenium value?
I wonder, is it about mana and spirit?
Something like an explanation doesn't appear .
My understanding is limited .
At that point, I touch the Kaleidoscope next to my eye, returning my sight to its usual state .
After all, this looks better .
However, this seems like a great tool to waste some time .
I will play around and appraise various people .
Next, I will try out the Mist Mirage ring .
I take out the ring and put it on a free finger .
Befitting of a magic ring, it adjusts its size to fit my finger, no matter which one .
To use the power of this ring, water from the surroundings is necessary, right?
If it's the humidity in the air, there's probably some, so let's give it a test .
I try sending mana into the ring .
At that moment, it creates a faint mist that coalesces into a reproduction of me .
Ooh, amazing . It's a clone .
Moreover, it's tracing my movements?
When I pondered whether I could make only the clone move, its body moved differently .
Wow, this is awesome .
Aww, it lost its shape . The copy body is fading away .
After a little while it falls apart and disappears .
It looks like there wasn't enough water in the vicinity .
Let's try it with some actual water next .
I move to the bucket, and fill it up with a bit of water from life magic .
After that, I invoke the mist mirage again .
A water clone appears .
I feel like a bit of the water in the bucket vanished, but it seems that it doesn't use up a lot of water in one go .
The clothes worn by the clone are those at the time when it was cast .
All things considered, it resembles me with astonishing detail .
Stretching out my index finger, I tried to recreate the ET scene by matching my index finger with that of the clone .
There's no merging nor any shining between our touching fingers .
Only the silent stillness of the night is audible .
Yeah, I guess I will stop acting like a boke without there anyone to tsukkomi . 5 Retracting our fingers at that point, I left the clone alone for a while after putting it in a fighting pose .
Even after several dozen minutes the clone remains in the same pose .
I wonder how to go about cancelling this clone .
I say "Release" in my mind while focusing on the clone to test it, and the mist disperses .
I was capable of cancelling it without effort .
The water in the bucket had decreased only a bit . It looks like a large amount of water isn't necessary .
This clone...is useful, isn't it?
Let's practice <Sage Arts> later on .
I climb through the bay window and up to the peak of the roof .
I came to a halt on the slanted, treacherous rooftop .
I guess this place is good . I check the vicinity with Grasping Perception .
Then, I investigate the surroundings with a mana wave . As usual I sense several magic sources inside the inn below, but I don't sense anything from the surrounding alleys .
Well, after all, it's past the dead of the night now, moving towards early morning .
I guess I will start my training .
In order to motivate myself, I prepare by crossing my arms .
"Osu!"
I fired myself up as if preparing to use karate and continued to release mana without cancelling Grasping Perception .
Converge... Spread out a thin, thin wave .
And then — I activate <Sage Arts> .
The moisture surrounds and clads me as if the world was giving birth to a breeze, and at the same time a large cloud of mist is created .
It's been a while since I last felt my mouth get so dry .
But, it's easier than the time last I used the sage arts, since that was my first time .
It has become unnecessary to prepare so much and the mana consumption has definitely decreased as well .
Nevertheless, I can't get to enjoy this feeling of losing a great amount of mana or how it feels like my stomach is being twisted .
The mist spread to the surroundings, exceeding the inn's roof in an instant .
The dark night is engulfed by mist as far as my eyes can see .
At this point, I pour mana into the ring .
According to this ring's name, a mirage of me will be created inside the fog .
Furthermore, I invoke <Hide> .
I retreat a bit inside the mist, leaving behind the clone .
As expected, this has a big effect in allowing my figure to become blurry .
The mist of <Sage Arts> is a dense fog .
The words of Master cross my mind .
"The more you use it, the more you achieve yet unknown growth . You will be able to use it for longer periods while lowering the mana consumption . "
I couldn't actually experience the last unknown growth, but just as he said, the mist is still hanging around, becoming thicker .
It looks usable for escaping from a brutal opponent .
Or I can use it when lying in wait for an attack .
I think around this much is fine...for today .
Erasing the clone, I return to my room while leaving the fog as is .
Walking along the roof, I descend and enter the room back through the bay window .
I lay down, collapsing onto the bed .
I will check my skills after a long time .

It has risen all around, but the qualitative disparities have become more conspicuous .
In the end, it looks like only the spirit value is easy to increase .
Erasing the status, I turn over several times in bed .
"Nya . "
Nuo? Suddenly, a meow? Two red, round eyes appear before me .
Mmh, before I noticed, Rollo had approached me .
"What is it?" (Shuuya)
"Nn . "
Rollo releases a throaty purr, looking bothered, then she loiters around my pillow before releasing a light cat punch while exposing her belly .
"Do you want to play?" (Shuuya)
I gently brush her belly to tickle her .
Reacting to the sensation, Rollo unleashes intense cat punches against my arm .
I cradle her with my arm, resulting in Rollo pouring a chain of kangaroo kicks onto my arm .
"Ouch!" (Shuuya)
Once I cry out in pain, Rollo immediately stops moving and turns her red, rotund eyes towards me as if examining my expression .
"It's alright . However, withdraw your claws, please . " (Shuuya)
"Nyao . "
Rollo answered and licks my arm as if apologizing .
Just like that, she sits down, all adorable, tucking both of her forepaws under her chest .
She became obedient now that she's cat loaf .
As if telling me "I look cute . "
I stroke her whole body, down to her tail, several times .
Looking happy, Rollo lets out a deep growl and relaxes by closing her eyelids slowly . That's the impression she gave off .
I also begin to close my eyes while trying to convey my love to her .
Rollo gradually fell asleep as her eyes closed .
Haha, how cute . I guess I will sleep for a bit, too .
I shut my eyes . While experiencing darkness ...I'm soothed by her comfortable purring .
While that sound tickles my earlobes, my consciousness wanes for the first time in a while .
◇◇◇◇
Tap-tap-tap .
My light sleep suddenly comes to an end due to the sound of knocking in the room .
I guess it's been 30 minutes or an hour?
Support the Translator and read this at infinitenoveltranslations . net
"Nn, nya . "
"Master? It appears someone is at the door . " (Viine)
Rollo reacts to the sound as well .
It seems as if she is observing from her spot on the bed .
Viine gets up from her bed and is about to head to the door as she grabs her weapons .
Which reminds me, the landlady said that she would visit at some point .
I get up .
"...Viine, it's fine . " (Shuuya)
"Okay, Master!" (Viine)
Viine acknowledges and bows her head .
She hurried over next to me and went on standby .
She links both of her hands behind her back while keeping her back straight as if pushing out her chest .
It appears she intends to act as my bodyguard .
I turned my face towards the door while admiring her conduct .
"The door's open . Come in . " (Shuuya)
I invite the other party with a slightly loud voice .
The person, who knocked on the door, opened it after having heard me, and entered timidly .
"...Sorry for disturbing you so late . " (Mel)
As expected, it's the landlady Mel .
"Don't worry . So, what was it you wanted to talk about again?" (Shuuya)
"It's about the matter with the dark guild . " (Mel)
Mel's expression is somewhat stern .
Even when entering the room or walking around, she shows no openings .
"...I wanted to hear the details about how you crushed [Owl's Fang], Shuuya-san . " (Mel)
It's about that after all, huh?
Though I don't know how much information has circulated in the city already .
"Yeah, it looks like they fell apart . " (Shuuya)
I take a safe approach to examine the situation .
"Indeed . Thanks to that, [Remains of the Moon] was able to obtain a larger turf, resulting in us becoming quite busy . " (Mel)
"Wow, that's wonderful . " (Shuuya)
That doesn't matter to me at all though .
"...Fufu, then let's stop mincing our words here and get to the truth...can you give me the full details regarding how you crushed [Owl's Fang]'s headquarters?" (Mel)
Did Mel predict that I had crushed it?
Her intelligence network appears to be quite superb .
But, as for talking about it...
"...It will be fine even if I don't tell you the details, right? I won't mind even if you think that it went how you are imagining . " (Shuuya)
"Really? I understand . Shuuya-san, will you continue to have a cooperative relationship with us?" (Mel)
"Rather than cooperation, well, let's see, as long as you don't oppose me, Viine and my friends, I will get along with you . Besides, I'm a guest of this inn right now, aren't I?" (Shuuya)
While finishing my last words with a smile, I remember the Kaleidoscope .
Right . Let's have a look at Mel through the scope .
I touch the surface of the cross-shaped metal casually .
The metal transforms into its 卍-shape and the Kaleidoscope booted up .
Just like when I tested it, my sight becomes pale blue and a frame world expands .
Even the frame lines bordering Mels' body and the ▽ cursor are no different .
Once I focus my consciousness on the ▽ cursor, Mel's entire body was scanned .
――――――――――――――――
Carbon-type Napalm Life Form A-f####12

Elenium Integration: 289
Weapons: present
――――――――――――――――
Those are the numbers that came out .
Viine is superior in both physical strength and Elenium integration values .
It seems like Mel is hiding weapons somewhere .
At that point, I touch the 卍-shaped metal once again .
My vision returns to normal .
Did Mel notice something?
She looked at my right eye as if she had, but oh well, I don't mind even if it's exposed .
"...Understood . "For now" is plenty . Fufu, Veronica will be delighted . " (Mel)
Veronica will be delighted, huh?
Mel says while smiling, looking relieved .
Now that she mentions it, I haven't seen Veronica . I guess I will try asking about her .
"Is that Veronica not at the inn today?" (Shuuya)
"Yes . Today she's not in . Although [Owl's Fang] was crushed, there are many other dark guilds, after all . Tonight she's defending Flavor Street together with Paulsen's group . " (Mel)
So that's the reason .
I planned to ask her about bloodkin attendants, but...
"...It looks like she's busy . " (Shuuya)
"Yes . Do you have some business with her? If you do, I will let her know as soon as possible, Shuuya-san . " (Mel)
That's very kind, isn't it?
"Ah, no, it's not that urgent . " (Shuuya)
Given that Mel is overly courteous, I ended up returning to polite speech instead .
"Really? Please tell me at any time . Also, Shuuya-san, there's information I should tell you about..." (Mel)
"Yeah? What's up?" (Shuuya)
At that point, Mel began putting on airs .
"Fufu, ah, I just remembered, I have some business to take care of..." (Mel)
Attempting to dodge the issue, Mel tried to leave the room .
Aren't you interested?
Tsk, I see . I take back what I just said . So that story is the real reason for coming here, huh?
Since I didn't give her anything but vague information, she adopts such an attitude, eh?
"...Wait, I got it . You'd like me to give you some proper information about [Owl's Fang], right?" (Shuuya)
Mel turns around after reacting with her shoulders twitching .
Her face was full of smiles .
"Yes, that's right . It's a big help that you comprehend quickly . " (Mel)
Hee, isn't that nothing more than cynicism .
If I translate it, it feels like she's telling me "You are far too slow at getting it, idiot . "
"My bad . Indeed . I directly invaded the headquarters of [Owl's Fang] and crushed it . I also finished off Eribol and President Bill... Are you happy with this?" (Shuuya)
"Yes, sure . That's plenty . But, please don't take this the wrong way, okay? It's regarding that case . The information is something you should know, Shuuya-san... This is intelligence that was obtained out of the blue by Benett, but the [Great White Nine KnightsWhite Nine] of [Oseberia Kingdom] are searching for a criminal who caused a murder in the noble block . That's what I'm told . " (Mel)
What was that? So this time it's a country's organization?
I heard about them from Melissa .
Ah, I remember .
Didn't the patrolling soldiers complain about it when I infiltrated that place? I feel like they said something along the lines of royalty being their neighbors...
Or rather, wasn't that just now a testimony that I was the criminal?
I was cleverly led on . Tsk, if it was recorded or something, I'm done for .
Though I don't think that something like that has happened .
However, it's possible if there are magic or sorcery tools?
I will be troubled if it's exposed to the public, won't I?
Well, if that happens, so be it . Though I will make them regret it .
"...A country, huh? Thanks for the valuable information . " (Shuuya)
I included some sarcasm .
"No, no, don't mention it, but please feel relieved . [Ruins of the Moon] won't betray you . It's one-sided, but I got in touch while considering you a comrade . " (Mel)
Whoa-, she talks sarcastically, her composed smile not allowing me to say anything .
I guess she's planning to grasp my weakness?
She's a cunning woman . But, that's fun .
"...Haha, I understand . I will also believe in the words of those comrades . " (Shuuya)
I unleash a pleasantly refreshing smile .
"...Yes . Then, please take care . " (Mel)
Once Mel returns an appropriate smile, she finishes with meaningful words .
I guess it's the cynicism of "You think that we are comrades . "
She revealed a cheerful smile, but in the middle of it she adopted a dignified behavior, befitting a leader of a dark guild, and left the room while puffing out her chest .
Pheew...I'm exhausted from the battle of sarcasm .
"Master, you are on good terms with the [Ruins of the Moon], aren't you? Are you going to enter their organization?" (Viine)
Viine, who had stayed silent, said something like that, having taken what was said at face value .
"No, it's a delicate relationship where I cooperate albeit not belonging to them . Or rather, how much do you know about dark guilds?" (Shuuya)
Viine lowers her head a bit and says,
"To a certain extent, I was told by Chianelas, In this city [Owl's Fang] has the highest authority, but I don't know much beyond that and Several dark guilds reside in this city, so you should remember them . " (Viine)
I see . That information is a bit dated .
"Until a little while ago, that was correct, but I had a dispute with [Owl's Fang] . Just before I formed a contract with you, Viine, I killed the top brass of the dark guild [Owl's Fang] . That person was publicly acting as the president of a big company . That's why the country's organization [Great White Nine KnightsWhite Nine] is apparently investigating my case . " (Shuuya)
There are names of Great Knights in Eribol's secret accounts which are in my possession . It looks like they had a collusive relationship, but well, I guess it's fine even if I don't explain this .
"You crushed the strongest power in this city...as expected . I heard about those White Nine, too . "
Viine sends a gaze colored with passion at me while appearing to praise me due to my explanation .
Looking at the beautiful silver color of her left eye, I remembered something specific .
"Rather than that, there's something I'm going to pass on to you, Viine . " (Shuuya)
