296 - - The Ishvern

"Thanks."

He gives a bath towel to Camilla, who was apparently doused by Galahad with a tub of water, rather than a ladle. Thanks to the guidance of the Chirari, I always have towels and a robe that anyone can wear.

White gives me a paw tap on the cheek, so I throw the towel to the guys and heal Ishvaan. Isn't my recovery target always so big?　Is it my imagination?

"What about this stunned one over here?"

"[Fascination] is in effect, leave him alone and he will come to his senses. I don't know if he's safe from the charm.

"It's too disturbing, please pour water on it: ......"

Cal's words made me anxious and I asked him for help.

"After we've taken care of the mess over here," he said.

Eagle replies while wiping the water dripping from his hair with a towel.

"Isn't your owner strange ......?"

"You're the owner. I am not a pet."

Two animals talking to the right and left of my shoulder. Their normally inconspicuous beards are fluffy, and I am happy because they are both smoldering and fluffy.

I'm glad White is okay.

"So you're engaged to the princess."

Galahad checks one body at a time, which is in bad shape, and moves the head to the torso. At first glance it did not appear that the two were far apart. This is probably out of consideration for the princess and Sweig, who are far from being in rough shape.

Eagle and the others are taking advantage of the absence of the contents to examine the robed men. The men in sight had reddish-black magic circles floating on their chests.

"He is the only one who doesn't have an incense burner.

I didn't think the one remaining incense burner belonged to Chief Priest Byrne, and it might have been hidden somewhere other than here, but I didn't feel I had the right to leave the princess and Suig in that state and go to the trouble of searching for it.

I didn't feel the need to go out of my way to find the princess and Suig when I knew the prince ...... was safe. He may have been fooled, but he's out."

As Galahad said, considering that the boy king and princess were not puppeted, there must have been some kind of deal between the chief priest Byrne and the owner of the body, who could have done whatever he wanted without his consent.

<<>

"Ishvaan."

Ishvan's consciousness seems to have returned, though he remains slumped over.

A feeling fills the cavern.

"U...... U......"

Groans and jarring kneeling noises could be heard.

"Oops, I came to my senses ......, no, I'm out of [fascination] for now."

Galahad turns around and says. It seems that Yuni and the others, stimulated by Ishvaan's presence, have noticed.

Eagle gently sprays over them. Thank you, but don't you want a tub of what looks like pretend holy water in a glass bottle?

"...... why?"

"Why?"

Aldvaan asks again.

...... Aldvaan didn't take over, but Ishvaan has more dangerous ideas?

"Since when?"

<<

Please stop running to the evil gods to do something. Please stop selecting as your guardian animals those who interact with the evil gods. ......Tasya and Val are not very interested in the evil gods, come to think of it. They seem to be more concerned with breaking boundaries than with evil gods.　I don't know why.

>.

Ishvan says, averting his eyes from White and Aldvarne.

Ishvarn turns his eyes away from White and Aldvarne and says to Yuni and the others, who are looking at them with the collapsed princess a short distance away.

The floating incense burner is pulled to the floor with a string, and the bodies of the Suigs are pulled to the floor in the same way. Yuni and the others accompany the princess as she is slowly being pulled toward the censer.

The robed men are rescued as well. We can put them back together, but they may be held responsible for the ugliness of the situation. I hope it's just the fiancée, but there are too many nobles and powerful people missing to keep the case hidden, and I doubt she'll get away with saying she was just used for her body.

When I open the lid of the censer, a white mist softly escapes from the censer and returns to my body. And to the body of the princess's fiancée.

"......"

"......!　Master William!"

Sweig and the princess wake up, and the robed men stagger out.

Princess Sylvia wakes up and immediately looks for her fiancé.

<

Only one person does not get up. A white mist stands over his body, which remains collapsed.

"Dear William ......"

Princess Sylvia with tears that seem to overflow. She sees that the incense burner is missing and is a little saddened that she had to get rid of it without hesitation. But I guess that hesitation would not have changed what I would have done in the end.

>

"Oh no ......!"

Princess Sylvia collapses at Ishvaan's words.

"I have a reviving potion. Would you like to try it?

Cal says. He smiles, but his gaze seems to be testing the princess and her fiancé.

>

He seems to hesitate for a moment, but then shakes his head slowly.

"Master William!"

I'm not so sure about the trickery of taking over the body, but I think I'm on board with the plan to drag the boy king down with us. A confession came in that was significantly more out of character than I had expected!　But the atmosphere is so bad that I can't stick to it, so I'm keeping my mouth shut. In the meantime, I am not interested in any more power struggles, and I don't want to be in the lamenting room.

A white mist, smaller than a man, repeatedly moves in and out of the censer with the lid open. As I watch, the mystiffs that Yuni and the others have with them approach some of them. --It seems that something similar to what Black did to Aldovan has happened.

Some of them seem to be stuck on their shoulders, but I wonder if it's a compatibility problem.

>>

A few round objects with decorative strings float in front of Ishvaan's face, floating in the air. They float in the hands of the partners of Mistiff, who have accepted their souls. I have one in my hand.

It appears to be a small incense burner with a mouth like a bell. And it looks like a trinket for a pet.

What about the other Mithiffs?

Even if we brought all the mystics on the island, there would not be enough souls here.

<

Ishvaan quietly closes his eyes and gets down.

"One more thing, do you know about <>?"

<<<< 鵺>> is a thing with a form and no form. It is a reflection of what people see. It is a thing that takes away people's abilities. If you fight it and take away its form, you can trap it. You can take one of my censer.

"Disfigure?"

Whether or not the question has been answered, the figure fades away without an answer.

The guardian beast is cleared.

--And the bell rings again.

.

The voices are coming and going from the incense burner like mystics. A white haze trailing behind. With a pop, the censer returns to the spot where it was knocked down, as if lit on fire.

I got the title of "First Defeater [One who sees signs].

I got the as a reward for my first defeat.

Notice. The guardian beast has been cleared by Yuni's party and one other party.

I have obtained the treasure of the Guardian Beast <.

I got the guardian beast .

for fulfilling the condition <>.

I have obtained the title [Guardian of the Mistiffs].

I have obtained the title [Adjudicator].

Cloak appraisal results [cloak ......? I have a feeling that you're not going to like it.

Hand armor appraisal results [...... Mm]

is a cloak lined with a black, soft-to-the-touch fur, though it is a mystery whether it is Ishvaan fur on the inside. The white texture definitely beats it, though!　The item's effect seems to be enhanced at night by the [presence perception] skill blocking.

The item "He who sees signs" can trace the user backwards and see the user when the user is being probed by the "presence detecting" skill, and can make a light attack on the user if he/she wishes.

The last two titles are mystery titles. Guardian of Mistiff] is a reward for clearing the Aldvaan event, and its effect is to increase the status of pets and summoned beasts of the [Darkness] attribute, especially Mistiff. I wonder if this will also enhance Bahamut. .......

The effect of [Adjudicator] is a subtle one that allows movement to the location of a recognized conflict: ....... Why do I have to go and get myself involved? The reason why it was released is because it was involved with Princess Sylvia's fiancée event, but since the description almost only mentions the fiancée, I think it is a different title from Yuni and the others.

"Sage ......"

"So this event was related to the evil gods."

"So it wasn't Bahamut!"

As I was checking what I had received, there was a conversation in the background. Are there any evil god related events going on at Yuni and Yuni's?　I don't know why Bahamut is in the picture. I'm curious, but I guess I'm not supposed to ask that if I'm trying to solve a riddle.

It looks like it's covered with water, so it's all good. They seem to have changed their clothes, but I'd like to bathe them as soon as possible. I wonder if they are waiting for their turn to take a bath.
