《Kyrie Side》
ㅤ
I have returned to Abyss Forest.
At the church of the old paradise, while I was offering my morning prayers. . . . . .
ㅤ
A cute visitor came.
Palm-sized, a mole. . . . . .?
ㅤ
“It’s a gnome.”
ㅤ
Fenrir in Beast Kin form, Mr. Chatura, points and says, indicating the mole.
A gnome?
ㅤ
“A spirit of the earth that dwells in mines and such.”
ㅤ
Oh! A spirit. . . . . .
This cute little mole. . . . . .?
ㅤ
But what does the spirit want with me?
ㅤ
『Hi there.』
ㅤ
! I can hear the spirit’s voice. . . . . .
Why. . . . . .?
ㅤ
『Oh, You can hear voices too. Amazing, just like Ellison.』
ㅤ
You know the first Holy Demon King Ellison-sama?
ㅤ
『Yeah. We’re pals.』
“Ellison-sama used to command spirits.”
ㅤ
Is that so?
But to be able to converse with spirits, Ellison-sama must have been amazing.
ㅤ
“If you say that, Kyrie-sama also. Ordinary people cannot converse with spirits.”
ㅤ
Right.
I heard there are spirit magicians in the royal capital.
They exercise special powers by conversing with spirits.
To do so, they undergo years of training and study the language of the spirits.
ㅤ
I haven’t specifically trained for it, but suddenly I can hear Gnome-san’s voice. . . . . .
ㅤ
“It’s probably because you obtained the sacred relic, your power as the Holy Demon King has increased.”
ㅤ
Sacred relic. . . . . .
Ah, the prayer book the princess gave me in the Beast Kin nation of Nelogoma the other day.
ㅤ
“Yes. You are recovering the original power of the Holy Demon King by having the sacred relic. Most likely, this can only be done by you, being a reincarnated body.”
ㅤ
Hmm, I don’t understand the complicated part. . . . . .
But by obtaining Ellison-sama’s relic, I can converse with the spirit, right?
ㅤ
So, Gnome-san, what do you need from me?
ㅤ
『【Anila】 is being noisy, do something~』
“Kyrie-sama, what is the gnome saying?”
ㅤ
Oh, you can’t hear Gnome-san’s voice?
ㅤ
“Yes. Syndulla and I are higher-ranked monsters. We can see the spirit, but only you, Kyrie-sama, can hear its voice.”
ㅤ
I see. . . . . .um, Gnome-san is saying that a monster? person? named Anila is noisy and has to do something about it.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .I see, Anila, is it? As I suspected. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Mr. Chatura, you know Anila-san?
ㅤ
“Yes. It’s the 【Tyrant Dragon Anila】 sealed in the northern mountains.”
ㅤ
T, Tyrant Dragon. . . . . .
That’s an imposing name.
ㅤ
“As the name implies, Anila is the most ferocious among us, the Holy Zodiac, and even the first Holy Demon King had a hard time with it.”
ㅤ
Holy Zodiac. . . . . .
That’s the 12 monsters who were close to Ellison-sama and were given names, right?
ㅤ
“That’s correct. Anila is the dragon with the strongest power, but it was uncontrollable and unruly. . . . . .Therefore, Ellison-sama had no choice but to seal it in the mountains.”
ㅤ
Oh. . . . . .So even though Anila-san is one of Mr. Chatura’s comrades, it’s sealed away.
How pitiful. . . . . .
ㅤ
“It can’t be helped. Anila is truly a troublesome existence. Even Ellison-sama had to judge it as dangerous if it was let out.”
ㅤ
But. . . . . .
It’s still part of the forest folk, isn’t it?
ㅤ
“That’s. . . . . .well.”
ㅤ
How pitiful.
The rampaging is probably because it has been confined for so long and is filled with pent-up frustration.
ㅤ
『Hey hey, do something about Anila. Help me!』
ㅤ
Gnome-san, I understand.
I will go and talk to Anila-san.
ㅤ
『Oh, thank you. I will guide you!』
ㅤ
Mr. Chatura sighs, “Haah. . . . . .”
ㅤ
“Understood. Then, I will accompany you as well. We need one more escort, at least.”
『I’ll go!』『I’m going!』『Peewee!』
ㅤ
From the church’s window, Kumakichi-kun peeks his face. On his head are the slime Sura-chan and the griffon child Guu-chan.
Oh, are you all coming with me?
ㅤ
『Of course! If something happens to Big Sister, I’ll protect her!』『Me too!』『Peewee!』
ㅤ
Fufufu, thank you.
Then, shall we all go?
ㅤ
But Mr. Chatura shakes his head.
ㅤ
“That won’t be necessary. The cave where Anila is sealed is filled with a high concentration of miasma.”
ㅤ
Oh my. . . . . .the miasma. . . . . .
ㅤ
『Big Sister, what’s miasma?』
ㅤ
Kumakichi-kun doesn’t seem to know.
Miasma is a harmful gas to living creatures.
ㅤ
“High-ranking monsters have resistance to miasma, but ordinary monsters will be harmed.”
『Eh! I want to go too! I want to protect Big Sister!』
ㅤ
It’s okay, Mr. Chatura.
I will purify it.
ㅤ
“! I see. . . . . .Ellison-sama can also use the power of purification. In that case, Kyrie-sama too. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Purification.
It’s the power to remove poison and curses.
ㅤ
I have purified many people who came to the church.
So, I think it should be fine.
ㅤ
“Understood. Then, let’s go.”
After a while,
I rode on Kumakichi-kun’s back and arrived at the northern mountains.
ㅤ
Far north from our base, Dead End, steep mountains lined up.
A cave in one of those mountains.
ㅤ
“Anila is sealed inside here.”
ㅤ
High concentrations of miasma are already leaking from the entrance.
And that. . . . . .
ㅤ
Thump. . . . . .thump. . . . . .thump. . . . . .
ㅤ
『Something’s shaking a lot』
ㅤ
As we approached the northern mountains, the earthquakes were getting worse, but it became more pronounced at the entrance.
ㅤ
『It’s Anila. She’s mad!』
ㅤ
Gnome-san is on my shoulder.
I see, Anila-san’s tantrum is causing the earthquake.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .This miasma is denser than I expected.”
ㅤ
Mr. Chatura pinches his nose and grimaces.
ㅤ
“The concentration was so high that even I couldn’t enter. Anila’s frustration must have intensified the miasma. At this rate, no one will be able to enter.”
ㅤ
No problem.
I stand in front of the cave, put my hands together. . . . . .and pray.
ㅤ
God, please lend me your power.
Please take me to my companion who’s inside. . . . . .
ㅤ
Then,
Crack. . . . . .! I feel a light emanating from my body.
ㅤ
“Wow! Even that high concentration of miasma is being purified!”
『Big Sister’s amazing. . . . . .! Wait, what?! Big Sister?!』
ㅤ
What’s going on?
Kumakichi-kun is sounding frantic. . . . . .
ㅤ
I can’t see because my eyes are closed, but. . . . . .
ㅤ
『Big Sister’s body is disappearing!』
“This is teleportation magic?! Wait, Kyrie-sama! Wait, Ky. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Their voices fade away.
What’s going on. . . . . .?
ㅤ
I open my eyes.
Then. . . . . .
ㅤ
『UGAAAAAAA! LET ME OUT! GET ME OUT OF HERE, ELLISON!』
ㅤ
. . . . . .This seems to be inside the cave.
In the dim space, there’s one. . . . . .
ㅤ
『Peew, peew! A, dragon!』『A big dragon!』
ㅤ
Huh? Sura-chan, Guu-chan, when did you. . . . . .?
ㅤ
『LET ME OUT! ELLISONNNNN! GET ME OUT OF HERE!』
ㅤ
Um. . . . . .
This dragon. . . . . .
ㅤ
『Yes, that’s right』
ㅤ
Oh, Gnome-san too.
On my head is Sura-chan, on my shoulder is Guu-chan, and on the other shoulder is Gnome-san.
ㅤ
Gnome-san points to the enormous dragon with his nose.
ㅤ
『This guy is Tyrant Dragon Anila~』
