"Uh! Aya please don't cry, today should be a happy day." Seeing Aya suddenly crying inexplicably, Ulysses was confused.
"Mhm, indeed, come, master, let us celebrate." Aya wiped the tears off her face, flew to Ulysses, and sat down.
"To the first voyage of the Ulysses! Cheers!" Ulysses raised the cup in his hand.
"Cheers!!" Aya also raised the cup in front of her.
...
In the early morning of the next day, the red sun jumped out from the east sea on time, and the soft orange-red light shone on the light blue hull of the Ulysses, adding a beautiful red to the hull.
At this time, in the Ulysses control room, Ulysses was troubled by the bunch of control sticks and buttons that he had never seen before. He, who had never experienced sailing before, had no idea how to use these things!
"Ah! How do I start this ship! Damn it!" After trying for a long time, Ulysses still couldn't find a way to start the ship. Angrily, he hit the ship's control panel with a punch.
"Oh no!" Ulysses regretted it immediately after throwing his fist. But at this time, his fist had hit the control panel in front of him fiercely, making a loud "bang!"
‘Please don't break!' Ulysses quickly retracted his fist. If this was accidentally broken by him, he would have no face to see the Aya who had worked so hard to build this Ulysses. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Fortunately, that punch didn't seem to have any effect, and the control panel was still fine.
But just as Ulysses breathed a sigh of relief, the control panel suddenly glowed in golden light. After a while, the golden light turned silver again, and it became brighter and brighter, and finally reached a point where people couldn't look directly at it.
‘It's over, Aya will definitely be furious now! If this is broken, I don't know how long it will take to fix it. I hope it won't take too long. Rasputin and the others want to return to the continent so badly. Ugh! What happened to me today? How can I be so impatient? This is not like me at all!' Ulysses squinted at the silver light in front of him, feeling extremely annoyed in his heart.
At this time, Aya, who was staying in her room and chatting with Arcelia, suddenly raised her head with a weird expression, looked at the top of the room, and said with some surprise,
"Unexpectedly, Master himself created an apostle. It seems that the power of the realm of infinite desire and the power of Judgment of Abyss is really not to be underestimated! But I really envy that girl! She is the first apostle who can appear beside Master openly... Huh? something is not right. This feeling... She doesn't seem to have the ability to create her form yet, so it's just a semi-finished product. I have to go and see what happened. Arcelia, go back to your room." After she finished speaking, she quickly said. She pushed open the door of the room and flew in the direction of the Ulysses control room.
"A new apostle?? It seems that the demon king named Ulysses has a new subordinate! But why are all his apostles girls? And how come those who follow him are all girls too? Could he be..." Arcelia, who was holding the pink rabbit, was lost in thought.
At this time, the silver light shining in front of Ulysses had changed, and the light slowly converged into the appearance of a little girl, who was only about ten to eleven years old. Her silver hair was as long as Helen's. Her delicate face was also as lovely as Helen's; her small delicate lips and her cute nose that was slightly pointy made people have the desire to touch her small face gently.
But her eyes were completely different from Helen's golden color, and the degree of fairness of her skin was also subtly different from Helen's. If Helen's skin was as white as the new snow in winter, then her skin was like the white clear glacier that would never melt in the land in the far north, which was not the color that any creature should have at all. And looking closely, her body was floating on the control panel in a slightly transparent manner.
"This… This… What is going on! You, who are you!" Ulysses looked at the girl in front of him in shock. He was so shocked that he couldn't even say his words properly.
"Discover the creator! To answer the question, my name is Lapis, the magical spirit of the Ulysses magical system, responsible for controlling all the magical systems of the Ulysses. The answer is over. Do you have any other questions? Creator?" There was no emotion in the girl's voice, nor a trace of fluctuation.
"Magical Spirit!! Are you a creature similar to the familiar spirit like Aya?" Ulysses couldn't describe the strange feeling he had when he heard the voice of the girl. He just felt that there was a strange sense of contradiction. It seemed that the one who was talking to him was not a cute girl, but something that he didn't know how to describe.
"Answer: something like her, but Lapis is just a magical spirit created for this Ulysses. Lapis is the eyes of Ulysses, the ears of Ulysses, the soul of Ulysses, when Ulysses is destroyed, Lapis will disappear." The girl named Lapis answered Ulysses's question without any emotional fluctuations.
"Ah! Master, you are here! I'm looking for you!" Just as Ulysses wanted to ask another question, Aya's voice came from the door of the control room. Turning his head, he noticed that Aya's purple figure had appeared at the door.
"Ah! Aya, you came at just the right time. Can you explain to me what happened? And why did this girl named Lapis suddenly appear? She said it was the magical spirit of this ship, but I couldn't figure out what was going on! "Ulysses looked at Aya who was floating in the air and asked.
"Mhm, no problem, but master, can you leave first, I have to talk to her to get the correct answer, after all, we are the same kind of creatures." Aya stared at Lapis who was also floating in the air as her and said excitedly.
"Why, why do I have to leave?" Ulysses asked puzzledly.
"Master, you are really slow! It is easier for a girl to communicate with another girl. If there is a boy present, it is always difficult to talk about some private things, so please go out first. I will call you later." Aya pushed Ulysses out the door, and then closed the door with a "bang!"
‘It is just to ask the origin of the girl named Lapis. What does it have to do with her privacy?' Ulysses walked to the deck unhappily, with numerous big question marks appearing on his head.
"Lapis will answer all the creator's questions, why should the creator leave?" Even when asking questions, the voice of the girl floating in the air still did not fluctuate at all.
"Ah! I didn't expect that the new apostle was such an incomplete girl, not only without physical entities, but also emotionally incomplete. This is not good at all!" Looking at Lapis, who had no expression at all, Aya frowned.
"Incomplete? Lapis is just a spiritual body that the creator made by assembling the dark souls in Ulysses' body in order to maximize the strength of this Ulysses. Strengthening the power of Ulysses has nothing to do with the materialization of Lapis. So it is wrong to say that Lapis is incomplete." Lapis's voice was still the same without emotion.
"Indeed, if you just think of you as the magic spirit that only controls Ulysses's magical system, it is not necessary to materialize, but don't you want to have a body?" Aya said curiously.
"No, Lapis exists only to control Ulysses. Ulysses is Lapis's body. There is no need to change to another body." Lapis said coldly.
"Oh! Then I don't need to say anything, but you must keep the secret of the existence of the apostle at this stage. It is not the time to let the master know the existence of the apostle."
"It can't be done, the creator Ulysses has the highest command authority over Lapis, as long as the creator wants to know about the apostle, Lapis has to tell him."
"The highest command authority... Then what level of authority do I have?" Aya frowned.
"The familiar spirit, Aya, as one of the creators of the Ulysses, has the command authority second to the demon king Ulysses who created Lapis." Lapis's tone remained unchanged.
"Then I order you, as long as the master does not directly ask about the apostle, you can't say anything about the apostle, and when the master asks about your identity, you only need to say that you are the magical spirit of this ship. Can you do this?" Aya said calmly.
"Your order does not violate Lapis's basic principles and can be implemented."
"Huff!" Aya sighed in relief, and then she started flying around Lapis a few times curiously.
"Lapis, start this Ulysses!" She tried to give her command as a test.
