Chapter 128 – 128.The Beast King’s Daughter (3)
“Revelation?”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Lucas.
“Revelation… Ah, I know revelation! The person dressed like Adelia in the play received it from a goddess? Right?”
“Oh my… That’s right, but don’t talk about the play… But Sihan’s second ability is revealed. Why do you think that, Lucas?”
“This is my personal opinion. The ability to suddenly come down to Mr. Sihan and make him enter the academy… And to liberate the Holy Beasts. It seems to me that the Goddess of Creation is trying to lead Mr. Sihan to protect the Holy Beasts from the Chaos Church. It’s okay.”
“If what Lucas says is true… Are you saying that Sihan is a being who receives revelations from the Goddess of Creation? Or like the hero in the story?”
“… Yes.”
“Is this guy a hero?”
Atsval looked at me with suspicious eyes.
“Is this natural foodie?”
“I told you before, I’m not a lecher, Atsubal. Isn’t it natural for a man to like attractive women?”
Otherwise, you can’t do subculture games.
I play games because my character sucks.
This is the most important factor in the motivation for playing subculture games.
“Saying that confidently is considered slutty!”
“S-Si-han is a hero… Uh, um. Well, I think it suits Si-han even if he is a hero.”
“Thank you, Pamela. But I can’t take Lucas’ words at face value.”
“Why, Sihan?”
“Even though the quest was given, I only did it because I thought it would benefit me in the end. I didn’t have any particularly righteous feelings, so it’s inappropriate to call myself a hero in the first place. A holy beast that went berserk due to the Chaos Church appeared, and if I don’t solve it, something big will definitely happen. It’s obvious. How can I stay still?”
“If you say that, it means that again.”
“Because Sihan is a person who naturally behaves like that, isn’t it because the Goddess of Creation gave her this ability?”
It seems like Lucas can’t easily give up the option of being the hero chosen by the Goddess of Creation.
“I’m not sure. Whether I’m a hero or not, what I do in the end remains the same.”
Match! He clapped his hands loudly and got everyone’s attention.
“In sharing my secret, strange speculations have arisen. But whatever the truth, we must do what we must. Now, we must go to Vitus, have an audience with the king of Vitus, and join the recruited personnel in delving into Deltra. “We will do our best for liberation. Everyone has different opinions, right?”
When I decided on a topic, everyone nodded.
Now that we’ve finished talking, it’s time to leave.
“Then let’s go.”
***
After taking the warp seat to Suzar, we headed straight to the adventurer’s guild.
“Welcome. Then, let’s leave right away.”
Following Dylan, we entered the castle in the center of Suzar.
There was a guard made up of beastmen standing at the main gate of the castle, but as soon as they saw Dylan, they cleared the way.
“The person who will be the audience from now on is the King of Bitters. He is nicknamed the Beast King. This is Tigger Bitters. He is a cheerful and generous person, so there is no need to be very nervous.”
“Oh!”
“But Maika, please stay calm.”
“Huh?”
I followed Dylan into the throne room.
Then, sitting on the throne at the end of the throne room was a man with a bold-looking appearance, with tiger ears and a tail.
A man with the same facial expression as the model seen in the game.
A man with orange hair and black legs that resembles a tiger.
It’s the Beast King Tiger Bitters.
“King Tigger, I have brought the Fortis group.”
“Yes! Good job, Dylan! Are you the Fortis Group that defeated the water holy beast, Praton? Haha!”
Tigger laughed cheerfully and hit his knee with a thud, just like in the game.
“I heard they were academy students, but the future is so bright with young people like these being active!”
I gently lowered my head and said to Tigger.
“It is an honor to hear such words from His Majesty Tiger, who is called the Beast King.”
Haha! You’re very polite! Plus…”
Tigger showed his wild smile his, showing his teeth his his his.
“You look strong. You’re trustworthy. Of course, not only you, but all the other members also look trustworthy! Haha! It’s been a while, Princess Adelia!”
“Long time no see, Your Majesty Tigger. How are you?”
“I’m always full of energy! Haha!”
Tigger, who was laughing cheerfully, stopped laughing by hitting her knee again.
“This is a situation, so I’ll get straight to the point.”
Tigger said, giving off the air of a cheerful middle-aged man and a slightly solemn king.
“We are currently ordering the soldiers we can mobilize to search the forest to see if there are any more Chaos Stones. The area where Delta was discovered this time was scheduled to be searched today with carefully selected elite soldiers. There! Just like you. I didn’t know that trustworthy people would be added! Haha! I hope you can fully demonstrate your skills in subduing the Holy Beast of Water!”
“I will do my best.”
“Then let me introduce you to the elite members of Bitters who will be with you!”
After a while, a woman who looked very familiar to me entered the throne room along with 10 prisoners who appeared to be elite members.
“Father! These are the people, right? The famous Fortis Group!”
A woman who looks like her father her her Tiger Beaters, with an exciting look, wearing the same tiger tail and ears, and black bridges on her orange hair.
This is the princess of Vitus and a princess known as a famous strongwoman in Vitus.
It was Tiona Bitters.
“That’s right, Tiona! Say hello! Haha!”
“Oh! What! Adelia is there too!”
Tiona saw Adelia among us and approached with a toothy smile similar to her father.
“I’ve heard it, but seeing it in person makes me feel it! It’s been a while, Adelia!”
“Yes. It’s been a while, Princess Tiona.”
“Aang? I told you not to call me that, but are you doing it on purpose?”
“I got caught.”
“Huh? Ha, haha! What? You learned how to tell jokes? You’ve always been blunt and tight-lipped. Well, good things are good!”
Tiona took a few steps away from Adelia and then looked around at our entire group.
“This is Fortis Group! Who is the manager?”
“I am the manager of Portis.”
“Ah, that’s right! You are that Lee Si-han! I also heard about it from the guild leader Dylan! It definitely gives me the feeling that he is… Unmanned! Ah! I am a cadet at the same academy, so please speak at ease! “I am not a soldier in our country, so I don’t like being treated with formal politeness.”
“If you want that, it’s as much as you want.”
Haha! That’s really nice? Then, let me introduce myself.”
Tio I crossed her arms and spoke confidently.
“I’m Tiona Bitters! I’m called the princess of Bitters. I don’t like being stiff, so all the other guys just talk informally to me! And the ones here are the elites of Bitters. First, from over there …”
Tiona explained the names and positions of the selected members in turn.
“And I am a lineman who uses a great sword. With this sword!”
Tiona took out a red great sword from the subspace ring.
“My role is to cut down monsters that stand in my way with a single sword. Father!”
Thud! And Tiona put her greatsword on the ground and looked back at Tigger Beaters.
“I’ve finished introducing myself, so I’ll leave right away! This is a situation, isn’t it?”
“Okay, I’m waiting for good news.”
“Just leave it to me! I will definitely bring back the Holy Beast of Earth!”
After the confident and energetic Vitus women finished their conversation, we headed towards the Suzar Gate with Tiona and her elite crew.
The carriage that Mitch had prepared was parked at the gate.
Perhaps because it was a carriage ridden by elite soldiers and Tiona, the environment seemed a bit better than an ordinary wagon.
“Come on! You all get on!”
“No, we have our own carriage, so we will rent a horse and ride it.”
“Were there any special carriages? Well, since you must have received a lot of reward money from Raden, there is a possibility that you have carriages. Let me take a look and see what kind of carriages you bought!”
He hired a horse and pulled out a carriage in front of Tiona and her elite crew.
“This is… Wow, it’s a luxurious carriage, isn’t it?”
“Since there are only so many people in the group, I bought something spacious and nice.”
Tiona whipped around and looked at their carriage and our carriage alternately.
“Should I ride this too?”
“Princess?”
Haha! It’s a joke, a joke! Let’s get going!”
Two carriages carrying Tiona and her elite troops.
And the carriage we rode in side by side set off towards the place where Munton discovered the Holy Water of Earth, Deltra.
***
“This is where the report was.”
After arriving at the destination, I got off the carriage and moved to the place where Munton was said to have encountered Deltra.
In the dense forest, traces of trees being broken by violent force remained here and there.
Tiona dropped to her knees and looked at the footprints left on the floor.
“Deltra, the Holy Beast of Earth. Indeed. It seems to be as big as I heard in the story.”
Tiona got up again and spoke to everyone.
“First, we will search for Seongsu around here!”
“”I understand!””
First, I followed the place where the footprints were.
However, the further we followed, the more the traces became blurred, making the search difficult.
“It looks like we’re just wasting our time. There are too few clues.”
“There is no guarantee that things will go well from day one.”
If things continue like this, it may really end without any results.
The main story may have been a bit twisted from the moment Munton failed to join and first encountered Deltra.
So, I wanted to find Deltra as quickly as possible and progress the story.
‘Originally, when it comes to searching, it is standard for a dog to smell… ‘A little smell?’
“Myka.”
“Yes! Captain!”
“Did you have a good nose?”
“Huh? Yes! I like my nose! I can smell well!”
“Okay, then let’s go back to the place where the traces are the darkest first.”
“Hey, Ishihan. Are you… Thinking of letting Maika catch Deltra’s scent and chase him?”
I nodded to Atsubal who asked suspiciously.
“Methods that can be mobilized. Any possible method must be tested.”
