Chapter 138 - Phantasmal King, Are You That Bored?

The Supreme G.o.ds who rarely visit the Human Realm aside from the Festival of Heroes, and the fact that all three of them are together in this place certainly shows the abnormality of the situation.

While an enormous amount of magic power splits the clouds in the sky and makes the earth tremble the G.o.d of Life, Life quietly touches the ground.

[Mult.i.tude of Lives. Become my eyes, become my ears]

Each of the Supreme G.o.ds of the G.o.d Realm has been given one ability that transcends the others by the G.o.d of Creation, Shallow Vernal.

Lifes ability to govern all those who hold life, makes her have the wisdom to see through the world.

Humans, animals, insects, plants, and the earth Life can gather information from every living thing in the world.

Life searches through the avalanche of information to find the whereabouts of the abducted Kaito.

If a single bird or insect has seen Kaito, its possible for them to track his whereabouts However, searching for information about Kaito within that extraordinary amount of information takes a while.

However, theres a G.o.d that has the power to compensate for that.

The G.o.d of Fate, Fate The ability given to her is the power to determine ones fate.

She is able to determine the absolute fate within the sea of possibilities of the future.

[If its G.o.d of Life, she can find Kai-chan as soon as possible.]

[!? Ive found him. G.o.d of Time and s.p.a.ce I will transfer to you the information.]

[Umu.]

With Fate confirming his fate, Life discovered the whereabouts of Kaito in an instant and transmitted the information to Chronois.

[Chronois-sama]

[Dont worry, Lilia. Aside from Shallow Vernal-sama, theres no one in this world whos faster than I am!]

With those words, Chronoiss figure disappears.

What is given to Chronois, the G.o.d of Time and s.p.a.ce, is a mighty power Having the ability to govern time, Chronois can manipulate time at will and have the speed that sets her apart from the rest.

Chronoiss figure disappeared, just as Lilia and the others could recognize that she disappeared She already reached where Kaito is now.

The robed figures that were defeated by Alice dont seem to be dead, as Alice tied them up with a rope that she took out of nowhere.

[What are we going to do with these people?]

[Why dont we just let them stay here? We can call for a Knight Order to arrest them later Ehh?]

[Eh?]

It doesnt seem like they would wake up anytime soon, so Alice suggested that we leave them here tied up and leave already, but at the moment I was about to nod in agreement to her but for some reason, Alice stepped away really far away.

No, thats not it. The people in robes are still close to Alice, does that mean Im the one who moved places?

[It seems that youre in quite a pickle, Miyama.]

[Chronois-san!?]

[Ehh? G- G.o.ddess of Time-sama!?]

Hearing her familiar voice, I finally understood that Im being held in her arms.

I didnt expect that a Supreme G.o.d, Chronois-san, would appear. Putting me aside, even Alice was started at her sudden appearance.

[W- Why are you here?]

[Lilia told me what happened, and I came as soon as I heard it. Good gracious, youre making everyone worry]

[U- Ummm, errr]

[You are the one who kidnapped Miyama, arent you? Im sure youre ready for the consequences]

[Hyiiiihhhh!?]

Chronois-san quietly mutters while clenching her fist, releasing a tremendous amount of magic power and causing cracks to appear in the stone room.

Feeling the anger of the overwhelmingly powerful Chronois-san, Alice is frightened like a frog staring at a snake, backing away from Chronois-san.

[P- Please wait! Chronois-san!?]

[Miyama!?]

[Ummm, how should I say this Alice, errr, saved me!]

[What?]

I hurriedly stop Chronois-san, who was about to hit Alice any moment now.

While Chrnois-san looked doubtful after hearing my words, I frantically tried to explain Alices reason to her.

I dont feel like I was able to explain myself well because I was quite frantic when I explained to her but after a while, Chronois-san nodded and unclenched her fist as if she understood.

[I see. I get the gist of what youre saying. If thats the case, I guess I cant crush you here huh]

[Y- Yhes.h.!.+?]

[Well, thats enough. I will deal with these kidnappers myself. Youve already worried Lilia enough Lets go back.]

[Ah, yes.]

[Youre obviously coming with us.]

[U- Understood.]

As expected of the capable ikemen G.o.ddess Chronois-san, she promptly made the conversation continue and got Alice to agree without question Or rather, Chronois-san? How long are you going to hold on to me like this? Chronois-san, you know youre pretty tall, right? Being in this position is pretty scary, you know!?

Whether or not she knows what Im going through, Chronois-san quickly holds Alice as well, and the scenery changes in an instant.

Its not like the scenery is switched out like Teleportation Magic, but rather, Chronois-sans movement is so fast before I knew it, were already in a different place.

We are now in Lilia-sans mansions familiar garden, where Lilia-san and many other people had gathered.

[Kaito-san!? Are you okay!? Are you injured? Are you feeling unwell, or were you hurt anywhere!?]

[Ehh? Ah, no]

[Calm down, Lilia. If you keep talking and talking, Miyama wont be able to answer.]

[Ah, y- yes Im sorry.]

[Miyama doesnt have any injuries of particular concern.]

[Is that so Thats good. Thats really]

When she saw me, Lilia-sans expression literally changed as she began checking if I wasnt injured. She then looked really relieved when she heard Chronois-sans words.

It seemed like she was really worried about me, and it may be a bit imprudent of me, but I was happy.

Speaking of which, theres even Fate-san here Unnn? Who is that person with the green hair? I feel like shes sleeping while standing up though

[U- Ummm~~]

[Eh? Huh!? Its you!!!]

[Hieehhh!? P- Please wait a moment! Kaito-san, help!? Heelllllpppppp!?]

When Alice was about to timidly speak, Lilia-sans expression suddenly changed to a sharp one and she drew her sword.

It wasnt just Lilia-san, but also Lunamaria-san and Sieg-san as well, who turned their gazes with their sharp killing intents directed towards Alice.

[U- Ummm Why did this situation happen]

[Ahhh, apparently, Lilia and the others had exchanged swords with the strange fellow over there.]

Strange fellow, she said No, well, she certainly is one but

It seems that I have to explain to them again. For a moment, I thought about just letting them go attack her since theyre attacking Alice and she wont die but In the end, I explained to Lilia-san and the others.

Lilia-san and the others, who had been cautious for a while, seemed to understand after hearing my explanation and they each put away their weapons.

It would have been fine if that had been the end of it, but no matter how much they were convinced with my explanation, their perception of Alice would still be bad.

She may have saved me, but because shes someone theyre not familiar with, and because theyve fought against each other once, their wariness still hasnt disappeared and I can still feel it with my Sympathy Magic.

[Alice, remember our bet where you would listen to one thing I said?]

[Ehh? Yeah, I still remember it, but why mention it now?]

[Then, theres something I need you to investigate.]

[You want me to investigate something?]

Thereupon, I remembered the doc.u.ment that the Phantasmal King gave me yesterday.

She said that this doc.u.ment contains information on the person that set up Lilia-sans division in a trap, and that if I showed this to a person who works in the underworld, I might be able to get evidence.

Alice called herself a handyman who works in the underworld, and from the feeling I got so far from her, she seems to be good at gathering information, and in a sense, shes the right person for the job.

[I want you to look at the people in this doc.u.ment. I heard that they were involved in that incident with the Knights Order four years ago]

[ [ [ ! ? ] ] ]

Hearing the words I said as I held out the doc.u.ment to her, Lilia-san, Lunamaria-san and Sieg-sans eyes widened.

[Ka- Kaito-san!? T- That is how in the world]

[Im sorry. Lilia-san, I was actually going to tell you yesterday, but after all the commotion that happened, I forgot This doc.u.ment was given to me by the Phantasmal King, and it seems to contain information about the people involved in the incident with the Knights Order four years ago.]

[Wha!?]

[Hoohhh It wouldnt be surprising that the Phantasmal King would have some information about that in her possession However, if youre asking her to investigate it, that having that alone wouldnt mean anything?]

[Yes, the Phantasmal King said that this isnt enough to use as proof. However, she said that if I can get someone working from the underworld to investigate it, we might be able to know something]

It seems that Chronois-san highly evaluates the Phantasmal Kings information gathering ability, and if the Phantasmal King had prepared it, it feels like she was sure it would be correct.

[In that case, Im also going to ask you. Lilia informed me of the situation, but Shallow Vernal-sama has instructed me not to become too involved with the affairs of the Human Realm, so Im not at liberty to investigate So, can I ask you for that? Masked woman.]

[Ehh? Ah, yes. Of course.]

[Thank you, Alice. Well then, heres the doc.u.ment [ Theres no need for that. ] !?]

I was about to hand the doc.u.ment to Alice, thinking that if Alice could successfully investigate this, the impression Lilia-san and the other had for her would be restored.

However, at that moment, I heard a familiar high-pitched voice.

[If you so wish it, I can provide the proof as your reward for overcoming your fourth trial.]

[Phantasmal King]

[Eeeehhhhh!? T- This time, its the Phantasmal King? Seriously, what the heck is with Kaito-sans connections]

A being clad in a black robe calmly appeared, gathering the gaze of those around us The Phantasmal King descends in the garden of the mansion.

Saying those infuriating words, that I have cleared the fourth trial

Dear Mom, Dad- Anyway, the kidnapping incident is now over, and I thought that if I asked Alice to help me, I could get the information that Lilia-san wanted but Right at that moment, the Phantasmal King appeared again. Putting that aside Phantasmal King, are you that bored?

It may not have been written in the novel but they just met yesterday! And now, today she has come to meet him again!!! Im starting to suspect that Phantasmal King is actually Kaitos commuting wife.
