Episode 142: Prelude (2)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Prelude of the Budding Heart].

 

The effect is the extension of skill's duration and range.

 

While this song is playing, the effects of Eliza's and her allies' skills will reach anywhere the sound is audible, and skills with a time limit will have their duration extended.

 

Compared to the Pied Piper of Hamelin, whose every song had game-breaking effect, this [Prelude of the Budding Heart] may seem unremarkable at first glance, but its true value lies in the persistence and penetration of its sound.

 

The melody of this song has the nature of penetrating any obstacle to reach one’s 'heart', and the sound continues to linger even after Eliza stops playing the flute.

 

This also applies to the next song she played, meaning that by playing this song first, the effects of subsequent songs will stack.

 

　As the name 'Prelude' suggested, [Prelude of the Budding Heart] served as the foundation for the other songs.

 

　The simple, yet somehow grand and romantic melody, befitting a prelude, echoed through the surroundings.

 

　With this, the Instantaneous Movement¹ skill, which could only cover 100 meters before, can now reach as far as the sound travels.

 

But it is still not enough. The audible range is at best a few hundred meters. One more step is needed to reach Frigg's location.

 

　So I pulled out a card.

 

　It was a Siren card, one that possessed the [Breakthrough of Limits] skill.

 

　This was a card key I had gone out of my way to acquire by clearing and conquering an appropriate D-rank dungeon in another area, all for the sake of ranking up Näkki-Neito.

 

"Näkki-Neito."

 

"――――Yes."

 

　When I called out to Näkki-Neito while showing her the Siren card, she nodded with a dreamy, enraptured smile. 

 

　Seeing the expression on her face that practically screamed, ‘The moment I've been waiting for has finally come!’ I felt a bit complicated. 

 

　I hadn't ranked up Näkki-Neito before now not because I was teasing her.

 

　If possible, I had wanted to wait to rank her up until she had acquired [Breakthrough of Limits] on her own.

 

　If the conditions for acquiring [Breakthrough of Limits] included a certain number of learned skills and combat experience past one's growth limit, I thought it was possible for Näkki-Neito, who can be compared to Eliza, to acquire it by herself.

 

　Well, I did have a promise with her when I made her an ally, and any further delay risked being seen as a breach of contract.

 

　A rank-up to Siren was inevitable for the combo with Eliza's song skills. This would be a good opportunity.

 

It was quite a hassle finding a dungeon with a Siren card key, but if it makes her this happy, it was worth the effort. 

 

Besides, I also obtained useful card keys that would make good souvenirs for Anna and the others...

 

　Thinking such thoughts, I ranked up Näkki-Neito up to a Siren.

"Th-this is...!"

 

　The former Näkki-Neito, now ranked up to Siren, stared at her own hands, speechless.

 

"My... my power is surging...! If it’s this much at C-rank, then B-rank... just imagine how much... Ku, ku, ku!"

 

"Um... Näkki-- I mean, Siren-san?"

 

　When I tentatively called out to the Siren who had suddenly started laughing like a villain, she snapped her head up and grabbed both of my hands.

 

"Master! Thank you! To repay this kindness, I swear to strive even harder!"

 

"Ah, y-yeah."

 

　I nodded somewhat cautiously at the Siren, who declared this with slightly bloodshot eyes and a fierce, gleaming gaze.

 

As always... she's so self-ambitious.

 

　If I were to say who among my party had high ambitions, I would for sure say Eliza-san, but this Siren was definitely not falling behind.

 

　In fact, unlike Eliza-san, who kept it to herself, this Siren put it all out there, making her ambition look even higher than Eliza-san's.

 

　The difference between her and Eliza-san was that Eliza-san seemed to seek power for others, while this Siren's ambitiousness of growth—seemed to be for her own sake.

 

Well, either way, having ambition is a good thing.

 

The more skills Siren learns, the more useful she becomes to the whole group, so I hope she continues to work hard.

 

"On that note..."

 

　While nodding thoughtfully to myself, the Siren spoke, her eyes glittering seductively,

 

"To continue serving you faithfully, Master, I would like to receive a name."

 

"A name?"

 

Hmm...

 

　I pondered.

 

True, there would likely be many opportunities to use this Siren in tandem with Eliza-san going forward, and it would be a shame to lose her [Songstress] skill.

 

I had planned to wait until we deepened our relationship a bit more before naming her... but since she's asking for it now, I might as well do it now.

 

"Alright. Your name will be Prima."

 

　I stated the name I'd been considering for a while.

 

　When you think of a songstress, you think of a diva. And when you think of a diva, you think of a prima donna.

 

　Prima donna meant the leading lady in opera.

 

　It should suit her perfectly, given her strong ambition.

 

"Prima..."

 

　The Siren rolled the name I gave her a few times, then nodded contentedly.

 

　It seemed she was pleased with this name.

 

"Alright then, let's get right to it, Prima. I need you to summon the Harpies."

 

　Taking my order, Prima began summoning Harpies.

 

　This was the reason I had to rank up Näkki-Neito to a Siren right here and now.

 

　Prima possessed the [Magic Song] and [Chorus] skills.

 

[Magic Song] is a skill that allows her to imbue magic into song, like a [Dragon's Breath²]. [Chorus] is a skill that stacks the effects of musical skills and expands their range.

 

　By using these two skills, she could make Eliza's Flute skills reach even farther.

 

　In a sense, Prima would be Eliza's personal amplifier.

 

　That said, Prima, even with her [Songstress] skill, had a limit to what she could do alone.

 

The [Chorus] skill only truly shines when it's used by multiple individuals. 

 

That's where the Siren’s infinite Subordinate Summoning skill of Harpies come into play.

 

　By summoning Harpies, who also possess the [Chorus] skill, Eliza's melody could now reach infinitely far.

 

"Alright, go!"

 

　Activating the [Feast of Destruction, Slaughter, and Victory] of Dress and the others, I sent the Harpies out in all directions as soon as they appeared.

 

All that's left is to wait for the song to reach Frigg’s location...

 

　But as I watched, I noticed someone tugging at the hem of my clothes.

 

Who is it?

 

　I turned around to find that it was none other than Athena.

 

"Hm? What’s up?"

 

　When I asked, Athena mumbled, showing a nervous, hesitant demeanor.

 

　It was rare for her, who usually speaks her mind bluntly and directly, to act this way. Still, I patiently waited for her next words...

 

"Ahem! Er... I see you've given a name to that upstart mermaid?"

 

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Prima will probably be used often in tandem with Eliza going forward, and she wanted one."

 

"...Listen to me, Utamaro. You seem to be handing out names quite casually, but naming is not something to be taken lightly, you know?"

 

"No, I think I understand that, but..."

 

What is she trying to say?

 

　As I stood there confused, Athena's cheeks flushed slightly and she spoke with a hint of irritation,

 

"What I mean is! ...Even when it comes to giving a name, there's a proper order, isn't there? That is what I am saying!"

 

"Ah."

 

　With that much said, even I understood.

 

So that's it. She's asking for a name?

 

Who would've thought that Athena, while carrying [Pride of Deity], would be asking for a name...

 

　Recalling how she'd kept a certain distance until the battle with Urashima Taro, I felt something like a sense of achievement.

 

But… her name, huh?

 

"...Well, I've actually thought about what kind of name would be a good fit for you, but..."

 

"But? What is it?"

 

"Now, calling you as 'Athena' just feels so right..."

 

　When I said that, Athena nodded in agreement.

 

"Indeed. This Athena is certainly worthy of being called the Athena among all Athenas after all!"

 

I wonder...?

 

　I thought like that, but kept it to myself and just nodded for now.

 

"Yeah, well, no matter what name I come up with, nothing feels quite right compared to 'Athena'."

 

"Hmm... If that's the case, why not just use it as is?"

 

"Use it as is?"

 

"In other words, you should make ‘Athena’ my given name."

 

"Is that... really okay?"

 

Using a card after its race? Isn't that like naming a dog ‘Dog’ or a cat ‘Cat’?

 

" It is perfectly acceptable. Rather, by naming me Athena, it will prove that this one is The Athena among Athenas, the True Athena."

 

Well, if the person (deity?) herself says so, then it should be fine.

 

“Alright, your name is Athena!"

 

　The moment I declared that, the Athena card in my chest pocket began to glow.

 

This is...!

 

 　I pulled out the card...

 

 

 

 

[Race] Athena (Athena)

[Combat Power] 1900 (MAX!)

 

[Inborn Skills]

・Guardian Goddess of Cities and Heroes

・Aegis Protection

・Blessing for Heroes

・Come, Goddess of Victory

・Advanced-level Wizard

 

[Acquired Skills]

・Vow of Chastity

・Pride of Deity → Deity's Favor (CHANGE!)

・Skill Release

・Little Hero

・Strategy (NEW!)

 

 

 

 

 

"Ohh!? [Pride of Deity] changed to [Deity's Favor]!"

 

A change at this timing... could naming have been the condition for the skill change?

 

Establishing a relationship of trust deep enough for a high-ranking deity to accept a name from a human while maintaining their pride as a deity... that might be the condition for the transformation of [Pride of Deity].

 

In any case, this is my second [Deity’s Favor] skill.

 

[Deity's Favor] makes the barrier strength on me equal to the card's defense power. With two layers of such defense—from Renge and Athena—I likely won't have to worry about surprise attacks, except for those from Absolute Attack and similar skills.

 

"Master, the Harpies are in position."

 

　Just then, Prima reported in.

 

"Ah, got it. Thank you. Eliza, are you ready to go?"

 

"Yes, Master."

 

　Eliza bowed courteously, then vanished.

 

　I closed my eyes and performed a Full Synchronization with her.

 

　Through Eliza's eyes, I could see the audience hall and the figure seated upon the throne—the core of this Fensalir.

 

　A mature woman of striking beauty, dressed in a sheer white dress so thin the contours of her voluptuous form were visible, adorned with gold filigree matching her hair color.

 

So that's Frigg, huh?

 

　Frigg rested her elbow on the golden throne, a faint smile playing on her lips as she looked this way.

 

　Her face possessed a beauty befitting the goddess of love, yet it also carried an air of coldness and arrogance.

 

　Surrounding her, what can be called a legion of Goddess Handmaidens had formed a defensive formation.

 

So, while we were summoning Harpies, she also gathered her forces, huh?

 

What's more..

 

　I looked at the monsters mixed in with the Goddess Handmaidens.

 

Lycanthrope, Dullahan, Witch, Pegasus, Zenki, Goki, Wraith...

 

　A long lineup of familiar C-rank monsters.

 

She even brought in monsters from outside? Fighting alongside allied monsters is a common tactic for a cross-space type, but it’s still a hassle.

 

"No matter how many you gather, it's meaningless against Eliza."

 

　I whispered this through Eliza's mouth, then had her teleport behind Frigg.

 

　As the Goddess Handmaidens were thrown into confusion by our sudden disappearance, Frigg, as expected, reacted quickly.

 

　But I was faster. Before she could turn around, I swung down the Hamelin's Flute—now transformed into a scythe.

 

　The Reaper's scythe sliced through Frigg's slender neck――――or it should have. The scythe was deflected without so much as leaving a scratch.

 

　Frigg's lips, as she turned to face me, curved into a sneer.

 

――――Absolute Defense. Is it the blessing of protection Frigg was said to have granted to Baldr?

 

　The most famous myth concerning Frigg was the one about her son, Baldr.

 

　He was said to be the most handsome among the gods as he possessed a radiant glow, and was wise, eloquent, and kind—a man loved by all.

 

　To protect her cherished son, Frigg made everything in the world promise not to harm Baldr, granting him a body impervious to any weapon.

 

　But as was common in these 'invulnerability myths', there was one loophole in his protection: the mistletoe, which was too young to make a vow.

 

　The trickster god of Norse mythology, Loki, exploited this loophole, resulting in Frigg losing her most beloved son, Baldr... such was the story.

 

　From this myth, Frigg possessed a skill to grant Absolute Defense to a target.

 

　And that target included herself.

 

――――Though, it's meaningless against Eliza-san.

 

　I muttered internally and swung the great scythe again.

 

　Frigg responded with a mocking smile, but in the next instant, she was shoved aside by a Goddess Handmaiden standing beside her, and her expression changed to one of shock.

 

　With a crisp *SLA-A-ASH!* sound, the Goddess Handmaiden's body was cut in half.

 

　Only then did she seem to realize. Frigg glared at me. Her eyes filled with bitter anger.

 

――――Finally figured it out? That your Absolute Defense had already been nullified and stripped away by the first surprise Absolute Attack.

 

Now, then. It's a bother to keep having these Goddess Handmaidens as meat shields. I suppose we'll have to ask them all to leave the stage.

 

『Yuki, Mea!』

 

『Yes!』

 

　I had Mea transform into Hecate and activated the Trinity of Moon Goddesses’ special skill.

 

　The darkness of night burst forth from around these Goddesses' bodies and began to dye the entirety of Fensalir black.

 

　It swallowed the Goddess Handmaidens, making them disappear into the darkness and stripping away Frigg's defenses.

 

　Sensing her disadvantage, Frigg clicked her tongue and leaped far backward, trying to hide behind the monsters she had invited.

 

　But she was too slow. I closed the distance instantly with Shukuji³, slicing off both her arms and legs in a flash, reducing her to a stump.

 

　I followed up by using Gravity Waves⁴ to slam the surrounding monsters to the ground. Checkmate.

 

Now, before delivering the final blow to Frigg...

 

『Renge.』

 

『Yeah.』

 

　I signaled Renge just to confirm she was ready, then swung the great scythe down toward Frigg's head.

 

　And so, with the death of its core, Fensalir's form dissolved like a mirage and vanished.

 

　What remained was a scattering of bewildered monsters and... a single card.

 

　While my cards dealt with the remnants, I picked up the card and smirked.

 

"Who'd have thought I'd get Frigg right here?"

 

　Frigg was the card I'd been eyeing for Audrey's rank-up.

 

　My primary targets, of course, were the Fensalir and Absolute Defense skills.

 

Frigg was the card I had my sight on specifically for counteracting the Pied Piper of Hamelin.

 

Admittedly, that purpose has lost some meaning now, but Absolute Defense is always welcome, and Fensalir alone makes her highly valuable.

 

Well then, let's get right to it...

 

"Audrey."

 

"Yes, I am here."

 

"I'm going to rank you up right now."

 

"Understood."

 

　Even facing a rank-up—an event that would make any card openly joyful—Audrey maintained her composed, graceful demeanor.

 

　Admiring her maid-master persona, I placed the Frigg card on top of her card.

 

　The Frigg card seemed to dissolve and be absorbed, and at the same time, Audrey's body was enveloped in a brilliant light.

 

　When the light faded, there stood Audrey, now a Frigg.

　Her appearance itself hadn't changed much from when she was a Mayoiga.

 

　The difference, if anything, was that she now inherited the beauty of Frigg, the goddess of love; her hair, tied in a chignon, was a reddish-blonde; her physique was more accentuated now; and her overall presence had grown more alluring.

 

　Her attire was somewhat more luxurious than before, though she still wore a maid uniform. To be honest, it would be difficult for anyone to immediately recognize Audrey as Frigg just by looking at her.

 

　Her beauty and presence would suggest her as a high-ranking goddess of love and beauty, but that’s as far as they could tell. There were simply too few 'Frigg' elements in her appearance.

 

　Rather, her characteristics were closer to the Goddess Handmaidens who served Frigg.

 

　If I had to say, the only things that hinted at her Frigg identity would be the slightly too-luxurious golden thread embellishments on her maid uniform and the golden key bundle tied to her waist.

 

　However, her stats were a different story compared to her Mayoiga past self.

 

　Her [Death of Reprimand] transformed into [Suicide through Fidelity], so the risk of a direct attack on me got reduced. She also acquired various magic-related skills that supported her [Advanced-level Wizard] skill, which, when combined with Dress's Equipping skill, gave her the combat power and skill set to be a dependable fighter.

 

　And above all, the most significant, biggest assets would be her Absolute Defense and Fensalir skills.

 

　I don't need to explain how much Absolute Defense will improve the safety of the entire party, but what's quietly amazing was Fensalir's combat power buff/debuff.

 

　While Fensalir's combat power buff/debuff does not receive the combat power boost from the Equipping skill, it is likely affected by acquired skills.

 

　If the current Audrey were to equip Dress, her maximum combat power would reach 3600 through the shared [Breakthrough of Limits]. As a result, enemies within Fensalir would have their combat power reduced by 360, while allies would gain 360.

 

This amount is enough to virtually neutralize C-rank subordinates and significantly weaken even lower-tier B-rank subordinates.

 

If we had this skill during our fight with the Pied Piper of Hamelin, we wouldn't have struggled so much with the swarm of rats that gave us so much trouble.

 

We could have also used Absolute Defense to nullify his Absolute Attack. Having Frigg would have been enough to counter the Pied Piper of Hamelin.

 

...Though, realistically, with the children held hostage, it's doubtful that guy would have allowed us to fight him inside Fensalir.

 

That guy’s greatest threat lies in his ability to drag his opponents onto his own turf.

 

Time and time again, he proved to be a troublesome foe...

 

"And to think I acquire Frigg after the population issue has been solved..."

 

Fensalir could house 5,000 people in its default state.

 

If I had obtained one much earlier, we wouldn't have had the population problem at all.

 

　I couldn't help but smile wryly at the thought.

 

Well, if I procure it earlier, I probably would have just bypassed the conflicting humans and moved on ahead, so maybe it was for the best that things turned out this way.

 

"I feel like my luck is finally turning around."

 

We had secured a safe base free of monsters, found a stable source for Garnets, and now I've even acquired Frigg, which allowed Audrey to rank up.

 

Things are steadily improving.

 

Maybe, Tachikawa is close by too? Maybe I can just get back without any more trouble?

 

No, even more—there's a chance that Angolmois itself might come to an end just like this.

 

It's been about a month since Angolmois began. Since Phase 4 started on the first day, the phase hasn’t seemed to progress any further. If nothing else happened, Angolmois might conclude even sooner than my return to Tachikawa.

 

　...But my optimistic thinking was probably far too naive in this Angolmois.

 

　――――It was the very next day that I lost contact with both my dad and Anna’s side.

 

 

 

 

 

【Tips】Self-Defense Forces Report: Specifications of Cross-Space Types

 

　Through numerous experiments, the specifications of cross-space type skills have largely been determined and are summarized here:

 

 

　・The cross-space type has a core entity; unless this core is defeated, the alternate space will not disappear, no matter how much of the interior is destroyed.

 

　・Altering the internal structure of the cross-space type or producing traps and food consumes resources.

 

　・The interior of the cross-space type is completely separate from the exterior. While the inside cannot interfere with the outside, it is also, in principle, immune to outside interference.

 

　・Isolation of the space cannot be achieved if the master is inside and their card is outside.

 

　・Isolation of the space cannot be achieved if the master is outside and their card is inside.

 

　・A cross-space type card can nest smaller cross-space type card within itself. Correct example (〇): The Garden of the Hesperides → Mayoiga → Kochū no Ten. Incorrect example (×): Mayoiga → The Garden of the Hesperides.

 

　・A cross-space type card can connect with other cross-space type cards (or rather, they connect automatically if they are in contact). This applies to both allies and foes; enemies can use this to send in their forces. Connecting allied cards does not mean they shared resources, vitality, or food production capability; it merely connects the spaces.

 

　・If a nested or connected cross-space type is undergoing spatial isolation, one can also perform spatial isolation themself.

 

　・If any part of a cross-space type touches a safe zone, the safe zone's effects extend to the entire interior of the cross-space (even if the cross-space card's size exceeds the safe zone’s).

 

　・The monster-repelling effect of a safe zone does not extend to the connected cross-space cards (an attempt was once made to connect a multitude of cross-space cards to turn an entire floor into a safe zone, but it failed).

 

　・Communication via Card Gear remains possible within an isolated cross-space type. However, it can be blocked at the discretion of the cross-space type's will.

 

　・During Angolmois, deploying a cross-space type to conceal a dungeon gate is possible if the dungeon is in a Calm state.

Notes:

1  The one in this sentence is Eliza’s new move learnt from the Pied Piper of Hamelin besides the Absolute Attack. In this part, the author wrote the raw as 瞬間移動 (shunkan idou), so using the direct translation, it is ‘Instantaneous Movement’. 

 We actually also used ‘Teleportation’ before, like when the author used 転移 (ten’i), which means ‘transfer’, for the instances Maro used this move too. ‘Teleportation’ is also the standard English translation of the 瞬間移動 (shunkan idou) term after all, but since it was described with ‘short-range transfer’ and can be confused with the [Hamelin’s Flute] skill to transfer to any marked point, we will also use the more literal translation when the author uses 瞬間移動 (shunkan idou) term from here on. ^↩

2  The description from many chapters ago: A technique synonymous with dragons. By exhaling magic as a breath, it enhances the range and power of the magic and allows it to be released without chanting. ^↩

3  Reminder just in case: Shukuji is the skill to contract space, a part of [Advanced Ninjutsu]. ^↩

4  Along with Shukuji, this is a skill possessed by Yuki, so the one delivering the attacks here is Yuki^↩

5  We translated it as just ‘Reprimand’ before, but including ‘Death’ should make it clearer. ^↩
