"Eh?
Dead...?"
An incredible
statement came from Chrisya-san.
"That's horrible,
Chrisya. I'm clearly standing right here now."
"………Your voice
and appearance are different from the Eletia I know. And most importantly, Eletia
didn't carry such a level of corruption. You're different... you're not
Eletia!"
"It's your bad
habit to judge someone based on first impressions~. It's been five hundred
years, you know? Of course, things change."
"Shut up! You
impudent woman who dares to impersonate Eletia! It's outrageous for a human to
pretend to be a God!"
"Impudent, huh...
Chrisya, have you become quite foul-mouthed?"
"Shut up!!"
Ignoring Chrisya-san's
refusal to change her mind, Kakyouin-san? raised both hands to her shoulders,
shook her head, and said "Oh dear".
"I wonder why
you've become so sulky. The old Chrisya was so honest and cute."
"Don't talk like
you know my past! I feel like vomiting when you talk about it! Spit it out! Who
the hell are you!? How do you know about Eletia!?"
"………I just
introduced myself, though."
"I refuse to
acknowledge that! You say you ascended on your own!? That's impossible!!"
"..."
Kakyouin-san continued
to smile despite being so vehemently denied.
Even that was unlike
her, and I began to feel a slight sense of unease───Why is she so relaxed?
"What you know
isn't everything, Chrisya."
"Stop talking
like that! How much more will you insult Eletia!?"
"I'm telling you,
I am that Eletia..."
"Shut
up!!!!"
Chrisya-san was
completely enraged. I don't know how long this will go on.
I don't want to get
involved in this conversation... but I don't want to keep listening to this
conversation so close by... Well, I guess I'll have to interrupt and change the
subject.
"Um,
Kakyouin-san, can I ask you something?"
"───!"
"Of course, what
is it?"
Kakyouin-san turned
her gaze towards me. Her tone of voice changed again.
"Why are you
here, Kakyouin-san? Or rather, how did you get here?"
I simply asked a
simple question.
"Oh, that's a
pretty terrible question, Kushina. Do you think I shouldn't be here?"
"No, that's not
what I meant... I was just genuinely curious."
"………Hmm, well,
I'll let you off this time."
"..."
"You were asking
why I came here, right? Isn't it obvious?"
"Huh?"
"What other
reason could there be? I'm here to see you."
□□□
"Huh? Me?"
I was taken aback by
the unexpected answer. To come to see me? Was she that kind of person?
Kakyouin-san? I had the impression that she was more likely to set things up
and make people come to her.
"Why are you so
surprised, Kushina? Didn't I say it? ───That I would come to pick you up. I've finally gotten everything ready.
That's why I'm here."
"………You did say
that, but... I thought you would just anticipate my actions and wait for me at
my destination. I've never seen Kakyouin-san go out of her way for someone
before."
"Is that so? I
think I used to go to the Adventurer's Guild quite often, though."
"But that's a
fixed location."
"………I see, from
your perspective, that's how you would think."
Kakyouin-san looked
up.
"Well, maybe if I
were the old me, I might have done that..."
"……?"
"But now... I
can't just wait anymore."
"Huh?"
I involuntarily let
out a voice when I heard an unusual statement from Kakyouin-san.
"So, how did you
get here?"
"Huh? Oh,
yeah..."
Honestly, I wanted to
dig deeper, but Kakyouin-san abruptly changed the subject.
"It doesn't
matter how. I just came in normally. I came in through the entrance, defeated
the obstacles normally, and came here normally."
"Normally, you
mean you defeated those golems?"
"Are you talking
about those rock puppets? If so, they're no match for me. You underestimate me,
Kushina."
"───!"
"───!?"
To call those golems
(Garma) puppets... Kakyouin-san is so strong.
Chrisya-san behind me
was shaking her shoulders in anger at being told that the Garma were mere
puppets.
"Ahaha... so
that's it, to call those golems that... Kakyouin-san sure is amazing."
"Of course. In
fact, nothing can defeat us now. You should recognize that, Kushina."
Us...?
"Yes, I
understand, Kakyouin-san. Sorry."
"It's good if you
understand."
Kakyouin-san waved her
hand and smiled lightly. Something is different... she's acting more casual
than usual? She's usually unhappy and complains when she feels belittled.
"Alright, let's
go, Kushina."
"Huh?
Where...?"
"Where? It's
obvious. To where I am───to the
[Underworld]."
Kakyouin-san held out
her hand to me with a smile.
