Chapter 183 Angel Mode
Myne was in a good mood .
She’s been spinning around me for a while now .
[Is this some sort of ritual or something?]
[I’m trying to get into whichever way Fate is looking at . ]
[No no, you’re trying way too hard to do that . It’s weird . ]
[Un? Sloth said it would do me good to do so...]
Again with this “Sloth said it” .
Recently, Myne had been acting really strange .
When asked about it, she always replied that it was by Sloth’s suggestion .
[Don’t tell me Sloth also told you to do that hugging earlier?]
[Nn? That was just me . Actually I may want to do it again real soon]
[Fine... just don’t break my spine next time . ]
[I will keep that in mind . ]
If she’s looking away from me like that, I have a feeling that she’ll forget it anyway .
I guess she wants to hug real tight from time to time .
She’s planning to stay with me for a very long time after all, so I should at least understand her .
[Ero hasn’t come back yet?]
[Yes, she hasn’t . She said that she’ll return once she gets ahold of the means to travel to Gallia . ]
[Isn’t she just eating the grass on the road somewhere?]
[Of course she isn’t]
[What if she’s been kidnapped?]
[Don’t get ahead of yourself . ]
She possessed a mortal sin skill and was fairly strong in combat .
Only those with power surpassing that could hope to kidnap Eris .
What first came to mind was the sacred beastkin .
Eris had this past connection with the sacred beastkin Libra .
I still don’t know what happened between the two . Eris didn’t seem to want to talk about it either .
When I saw her showing such a moment of weakness whenever Libra is involved, I couldn’t get myself to ask .
Still, I do know about two things .
Libra has another nickname; Tuner .
And the divine decree he received was most likely to [eliminate anything that can cause disturbance upon the world . ]
If it’s true, then Libra wouldn’t stand still seeing that Gallia continent had risen to the sky .
At the same time, we as the holders of Mortal Sin skill...
While talking to Myne, I was continuously keeping watch for any sign of magic power that approached Hauzen .
So I would know if Eris returned .
[Fate!]
[Yeah, this magic power signature belongs to Eris . ]
Speak of the devil .
Eris was heading toward Hauzen at tremendous speed .
Moreover, there’s another magic power signature following her .
[This is...don’t tell me...]
[Libra, without a doubt . ]
Why is Libra there with Eris!?
Recalling how Eris said that she wanted to get rid of Libra herself this time, she must’ve hated that guy very much .
Then why?
Eris always acted unusual around Libra . She said that she’d fight him, but her fearfulness was obvious even to me .
Could she really partnered up with a person who caused her so much trauma?
[Unbelievable...]
[But there is no mistake . Those are Libra and Eris’ magic power . ]
Myne immediately rushed back to her room to pick up Sloth .
I had been placing my hand on the handle of the black sword on my waist all this time .
At times like this, a certain reliable partner with a particularly bad mouth would already give me some advice .
However, there’s only silence now .
In the last battle――fighting against the sacred beast Aquarius, I lost Greed .
Libra was the person who set up that battle .
Now I have my own grudge against him .
Moreover, he also tried to exterminate Hausen entirely . He may have thought that it’s the only way to prevent the Door to His land to open up .
[Fai! This sign!]
[It’s just as you thought . ]
Roxy, probably noticing as well, rushed to me .
She was already decked out in her battle gear, ready to fight at any time .
[Eris-sama... Why is she together with Libra?]
[I also want to know why . ]
[Indeed . It is nearly unthinkable for those two to actually act together . ]
The two were approaching Hausen from the south .
I tried to look for them from the hill where my mansion is . Can’t see them yet .
[Is Libra aiming for Hausen again?]
[Who knows . The door to His land is already opened . What lies here is only the underground city Grandeur . There are only ghosts who refused to be resurrected there...]
It’s even stranger that he moves around together with a mortal sin skill holder like Eris . But according to Raine, there was lots of valuable ancient information left inside the underground city Grandeur .
Is he coming here because he wants to keep that ancient knowledge a secret?
No, if that’s the case he would’ve acted much sooner .
It’s simply too hard to understand Libra’s goal, no matter how hard I think about it .
[We can’t have Libra inside Hausen . Let’s meet them outside . ]
[Yes . ]
When I was about to run, someone called me from behind .
[Then I will stay behind as an answering machine again . ]
When I turned around, there was Mimir .
Today as well, she’s wearing a neat looking maid uniform .
[I’m sorry, again . ]
[It’s alright . I’ll be watching Fate-sama’s heroic figure from here . I’m no longer a Holy Knight after all...and not even a warrior . ]
[Mimir... . . ]
[Come now, I’m but your maid servant . And also your sister . ]
She gave me a maid salute with a slight smile on her face .
[Fai! Hurry up!]
I heard Roxy urging me to go .
[Brother, come on now, go forth!]
[Yeah, I’m off . ]
[Be careful on your way . ]
Like the maid to her lord... and like a sister to her brother, Mimir bowed deeply as she saw me off .
I stroked her head gently in return . It’s not like this is our final farewell .
[I leave Hausen in your care . ]
[Yes, as you wish . ]
I nodded back after Mimir raised her head and nodded .
Then I turned toward Roxy, who patiently waited for me .
The signs of the two magic powers had been getting closer and closer .
[Sorry for the wait . Let’s go . ]
[Alright . ]
Making full use of our stats, we rushed out .
If we use the main road, we’ll probably injure the passersby though .
[Let’s go through the rooftops . ]
[I suppose that is for the best...kyah]
Roxy let out a little yelp .
She’s not even falling or tumbling . What in the world is she...
When I turned to her, there was already the crimson haired Snow latching on Roxy’s back .
[I’m playing too～!]
Perhaps she had misunderstood us running on top of the roofs as playing some sort of a game .
[What a bully to leave me out!]
[We are not playing here . ]
[Really?]
Snow looked back at me while tilting her head .
[Yes . We are leaving Hausen to head south . Where Libra is . ]
[Libra... . . ]
Upon hearing that name, Snow’s expression instantly changed .
Her countenance became more alert .
And she grabbed hold on Roxy even tighter .
[Let’s fuse!]
[Eeeeh, right here right now!?]
[Goo—-!]
[I haven’t prepared my heart yet . ]
It was a forceful fusion without waiting for Roxy’s agreement .
Wrapped by dazzling light, Roxy Angel Mode appeared with a bang!!
Unlike me, she had four white wings .
And an angelic halo shone above her head .
She looks divine no matter how many times I look .
[Fai! Can you stop gawking at me and get going already?]
[Ah sorry . I just think that you look beautiful]
[... . I am glad to hear that, but it is not the time for this kind of thing!]
[I know . But now that you’re in that form, why not make a full use out of it?]
[I guess it cannot be helped . ]
Roxy flapped her wings and started floating in the air . She then swooped in and hugged me .
My feet slowly lifted off from the rooftop .
This floaty feeling is somewhat comfortable to me .
Flying in the sky feels good no matter how many times you have experienced it!
[Alright then, I shall go full speed ahead!]
[Please do!]
It’ll be even more exciting from here .
The reason was simple .
Roxy had been training herself to be more proficient in using this Angel Mode of hers ever since she first obtained it .
I helped her in this training, so I knew how it was pretty well .
Dooooooooooooooo!!
A tremendous air pressure hit me .
Sound of air being broken through at a piercing speed of sound echoes through Hausen .
If I didn’t have the protection of Area E, my body would’ve probably turned into scattered pulp .
But with this, we should be able to reach Eris and Libra in no time at all .
I need to know what in the world is going on .
The two could’ve been fighting at the moment . Libra had never really hesitated after all .
It’s always good to be careful . I thought so as I clenched my grip on the black sword’s handle .
