Chapter 107 Anemie
"Cough, cough—"
With great difficulty, Kazuma Sato was finally freed from the cloak, and he collapsed to his knees, coughing violently. The cloak, meanwhile, clung to Charlotte, seemingly seeking comfort.
"Alright, alright, Kazuma didn't mean it, please forgive him."
The cloak turned its head away—though it didn't actually move, you could clearly sense that it was somewhat unhappy.
"Oh oh oh"
Seeing its anthropomorphic behavior, Megumin's eyes lit up with excitement. As a member of the Crimson Demon Clan, she loved these magical gadgets the most.
The presence of the cloak triggered her pleasure.
pity.
The cloak didn't seem to like Megumin's appearance.
Charlotte was puzzled by this, and after asking in a low voice, she received a clear answer.
The heights don't match.
Because Huihui is rather short, if the cloak were draped over her, part of it would fall to the ground, which displeased the cloak owner who was obsessed with cleanliness.
What do you mean? You have a height requirement?
Charlotte pretended not to see Huihui's expectant eyes, not wanting to hurt the young girl's heart.
It took Sato Kazuma a while to recover from his coughing. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with the cloak's irritability, he was also even more convinced that it was definitely a divine artifact!
"Hey Aqua, do you even know what kind of divine artifact it is?"
"----have no idea."
"Hello!"
As we all know, all the divine artifacts before Kazuma Sato descended to the mortal realm were given by Aqua, and this cloak obviously existed before him. However, the goddess who gave the reincarnated one such power-up didn't even know what kind of divine artifact it was.
You've failed to be a goddess! You've failed to be a goddess!
The cloak draped forlornly over Charlotte's shoulders; perhaps in its eyes, the relationship between the goddess and the artifact was that of mother and child, yet now its mother didn't recognize it.
By the way.
The cloak can neither speak nor write. It's unclear whether it hasn't learned or if its previous owner didn't teach it.
It doesn't matter if Aqua doesn't know, as long as Charlotte knows who can recognize her.
the next day.
Charlotte went to the church to say that he had returned from his adventure, and Sister Teresa blessed and prayed for him, a procedure that every believer must go through.
then.
He then took over the work of the confessional ceremony.
The old man didn't return. I heard that something happened at the headquarters of the Church of Eris. Apparently, there were personnel changes, and the voting ceremony would be delayed for a while.
From this day forward...
Charlotte resumed her usual homework.
I trained in the mornings, prayed in the mornings, practiced in the afternoons, and did charity work in the evenings. Occasionally, I would go to the guild to brag to others, and my life gradually became more regular. Without the harassment of the demon army or any other messy things, my mind was liberated.
this day.
Charlotte ran into Chris at the church.
The silver-haired female thief greeted him with a smile, as if she had come specifically to see him. After apologizing to Sister Theresa, the two left the church for the guild, where they could have a better chat.
Arrived at the union.
"A glass of sparkling wine and a plate of fried frog legs," Charlotte said to the waitress as soon as she sat down, adding, "Chris, what would you like to order? It's on me."
"Me too."
"Two glasses of sparkling wine and two servings of fried frog legs, is that right? Okay, order received, please wait a moment."
The waitress turned and left.
Their order arrived quickly.
After Charlotte raised her glass and took a big gulp with Chris, she casually said, "Let me make this clear, I didn't insist on getting it back myself."
It sounds like they're explaining something.
Chris tilted her head warily and said, "What? I don't quite understand what you're saying."
"It's nothing. I just wanted to say that it was Yujian who insisted that improving strength through cultivation was the main goal, so the team was temporarily disbanded. That's all."
"I see."
"That's right, so it's not my fault."
Charlotte's words sounded a bit like she was shirking responsibility, but it was the truth. Considering Mikami Hibiki's personality, it wasn't entirely unacceptable.
Furthermore, the Demon King's army is very strong. It's understandable that Mitsuki Kyouya was discouraged and wanted to improve his strength after suffering a loss at the hands of the Demon King's daughter.
"It's not surprising that something like this happened—"
Chris nodded, but quickly smiled and said, "But I didn't call you here to talk about that. I just wanted to ask if there was anything new or fun to do in the capital."
Should we use this as a starting point?
Charlotte raised an eyebrow.
She immediately repeated what she had told Wiz and Sato Kazuma before. When Chris heard Charlotte say that she had found the secret room just as she discovered something was wrong with the Eris statue's chest and wanted to fix it, her smile became unusually stiff.
Charlotte sighed, "Perhaps this is the guidance of the goddess Eris."
"————What?" She was somewhat taken aback.
"You see, maybe Eris knew her breasts weren't that big, so she deliberately tried to get my attention. Otherwise, how would I have discovered that basement?"
"Ha, haha—maybe that's really true—haha—"
Her smile was forced.
Charlotte felt much better.
Although Chris didn't come to confront him, her presence clearly stemmed from the question of why she and Mikami Hibiki had separated again, making Charlotte feel like she had become a tool in the fight against the Demon King, which made her somewhat unhappy.
"That's how I got this."
He tugged at his cloak. It was unremarkable in appearance, yet it blended seamlessly with Charlotte's priestly robes, as if they were one.
"Chris, do you know what it is?"
"How would I know something like that?"
"Don't you know? I thought thieves had a wide range of information sources and would know some kind of intelligence."
"However, I do happen to know it," Chris suddenly said, then, as if to avoid arousing suspicion, added, "Really, it's really just a coincidence! Don't get me wrong! I didn't secretly go to some nobleman's house and accidentally see it!"
"Yes, yes, I understand—tell me quickly."
Charlotte waved her hand dismissively.
Chris then said that she had seen the name of the cloak described in detail in a certain document.
Anemiai.
"The wind god?" Charlotte raised an eyebrow. "But in mythology, the wind god isn't one of four males—I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Hearing him say that, the cloak shrank back, as if it were blaming him.
Right.
If King Arthur could be a woman, what's impossible about the wind god? Not to mention that Anemi is a general term for the wind gods.
"Wow, it has quite a history! — Chris, don't you want it?"
"I----"
Charlotte stared intently at her, seemingly asking the thief girl Chris, but actually asking the goddess Eris whether to retrieve it. As if sensing this strange atmosphere, the cloak suddenly wrapped around him again.
"It hurts so much! It hurts so much!"
"I'm just a thief by profession, how could I steal—I'm telling you, Charlotte, do you know something?"
"Chris, Chris! Help me, please help me! It hurts so much!!!"
"—You rascal!"
Seeing Charlotte's excited shouts, Chris swallowed back the question she was about to ask. After that, the cloak didn't mysteriously disappear, as if it had been accepted.
