Chapter 1013 - Around that Time ③
In the lower-level of the G.o.d Realm, near the Teleportation Gate where most people gather for the White G.o.d Festival…… Some distance away from that place, where there are fewer people, there stands Rosemary with a stiff expression on her face.
Talking with her, looking concerned, was Camellia, who went to the White G.o.d Festival together with Rosemary.
[……Eri, are you alright?]
[……I- Impossipossipossible…… T- There are lots of strangers around…… They really increased a lot.]
[Of course, the numbers would increase compared to when we just came here. That aside, how are you? Do you think we can get closer to the Teleportation Gate?]
[……T- T- T- That’s totally impossible…… Going through t- that many people…… I’ll die.]
After parting with Kaito and his group, the two returned to the lower-level to go home. This is because the G.o.d Realm doesn’t allow the use of Teleportation Magic.
As the entire G.o.d Realm is enclosed in Anti-Teleportation Ward, only a few exceptionally talented people, such as the Six Kings, can forcefully use Teleportation Magic to get in and out of the G.o.d Realm.
However, when it comes to the Sanctuary where Shallow Vernal resides, unless they have abilities on the level of Quasi-Omnipotence, such as Kuromueina or Eden, who have abilities that could oppose Shallow Vernal’s abilities, Teleportation is impossible.
[We can’t break through G.o.d Realm’s Anti-Teleportation Ward, so we’ll need to use the Teleportation Gate, you know……]
[……R- Rather…… The only ones who can Teleport in the G.o.d Realm…… besides the Six Kings…… would be Phantasmal King-sama’s Gluttony…… and Jutia?]
[It certainly would be difficult unless we’re on their level. Well, in any case, for us to return, we would need to use the Teleportation Gate…… So in the end, we need to go to that place with a large number of people……]
Peak Count-ranks were usually able to do most things, but of course, there are still things that they aren’t good at.
The Anti-Teleportation Ward placed in the G.o.d Realm is extremely high-level, and that’s why even they would find it difficult to break through it unless they’re among the world’s top-cla.s.s Teleport Mages.
Gluttony, the Subs.p.a.ce Predator, famed as one of the best users of Teleportation Magic in the Demon Realm, or Jutia, the Great Tree Princess, who is the world’s best Spirit Mage and the origin of the Spirit Magic exercised using the principles of Teleportation Magic…… One would need to be at least on their level.
The only option left for Rosemary and Camellia is to use the Teleportation Gate, which looked crowded even from a distance…… It’s very difficult for Rosemary, who had a really bad case of strange anxiety, to step into the Gate.
Moreover, it’s likely that they would have to wait for a very long time to get their turn to use the Gate, so it was h.e.l.l itself for Rosemary.
When she saw Rosemary trembling with a stiff expression on her face, Camellia smiled, trying to rea.s.sure her.
[For the time being, since there aren’t many people around here, let’s take a break. If we give it some time, the people might eventually lessen.]
[……U- Unnn…… Thanks, Lia……]
[If I knew this would be the case, it would have been great if we had invited Jutia to come along.]
[……Y- You’re right…… H- However…… I never thought this would be this many people……]
Taking a break for the time being, they decided to approach the Teleportation Gate when the number of people had decreased.
As they chatted for a while, they suddenly heard a familiar voice.
[Oya oya, oya oya, meeting you here, what a coincidence! Tis great, tis great, I’m very lucky to meet you here by chance!]
[Jutia-san!? What are you doing here?]
[I’m here to buy some tea. After that, after tha, I was thinking of visiting Rigforeshia. The Teleportation Gate would be crowded, so I thought I’d teleport somewhere out of the way. And then, and then, that’s when I found you two.]
Camellia looked surprised when she saw Jutia, whom they had encountered by chance, and swiftly approaching Jutia, Rosemary brought her hands on both of Jutia’s shoulders and brought her face close to hers.
[……M- My savior has arrived…… J- Jutiaaaa…… S- Save me.]
[Oyo?]
[T- T- T- There are lots of people…… I can’t get close to the Teleportation Gate…… P- Please bring me along with your Teleportation Magic.]
[I see, I see, Rosemary doesn’t like crowds after all. Alright, alright, I’ll bring you with me then. Is it alright if we teleport to Rigforeshia first?]
[U- Unnn…… When we get to the Human Realm…… I can teleport on my own…… So I would be really grateful for that.]
Jutia, who could ignore the Anti-Teleportation Ward of the G.o.d Realm and teleport out of here, was like the true G.o.d of Salvation for Rosemary.
Rosemary was relieved to hear that Jutia had willingly agreed to leave with Teleportation Magic.
[It’s just a guess, Jutia-san. You’re cheerful as ever…… but you seem to be in a better mood than usual.]
[Oyo? You can tell? Unnn, unnn, I’m in a really good mood right now! I’m glad, I’m glad, having a superb encounter made me so glad!]
[An encounter?]
[Listen, listen, just now, in the middle-level……]
With a happy expression on her face, Jutia began to talk about the events that occurred in the middle-level, and the three of them ended up talking about Kaito for a while.
Serious-senpai : [Now then, since we’re done talking about the people Kaito had parted ways with…… What will happen next?]
? ? ? : [I wonder if he’ll meet someone again?]
Serious-senpai : [Even so, is there even anyone else he’s going to meet this time? I guess there might be huh.]
