“Chapter 95: Looking for the Key”

– Michael… Are you okay? (Letty)

– Sure. Saw Takaya-sama others go Azaasha-dono palace. Followed use magic.

– Well, your head was blown off. You don’t seem okay.

– No worry. Michael, not bones.

Michael pointed at the skull he was holding.

– Werg too. Soul live in crown. Human, doll, puppet, whatever. Cursed items. And move.

Going by what he says, Michael and Werg are immortal as long as their crowns are intact.

I wonder if I can wear one of those cursed items like in games.

Not that I want to do it, but it’s an interesting idea.

– By the way, where’s Werg?

– Probably. Lie around somewhere. Crown fine.

If his crown is untouched then he’s probably fine too.

– So, Michael, what did you mean by “Might able to help”?

– Not sure. But Letty-dono go there, high chance of clue.

Letty looked at Feria and me, clearly confused.

He’s not certain about this clue of his. It could end up being a waste of time.

But we have nothing else to bank on.

We have to act before Mumuruu becomes Raigoh’s wife.

– Let’s go. We could use any help right now. Where is this hint you speak of, Michael? (Letty)

– It…

Michael turned towards the direction we came from.

– at Gana Vares.

– What… (Takaya)

We were greeted with a terrible sight. The fortress was pretty much in ruins.

The mechanisms to keep intruders out, Mumuruu’s subordinates, just scattered around.

– I can’t believe this…

– Unacceptable. I’ll make sure the Decapitator pays for this.

To make up for the lack of Mumuruu’s power, we borrowed Yamy and Lemy. Apparently, they’re as strong as Letty.

– We have to hurry. Michael, where do we go?

– Original. Ask person themself. Better.

Michael dug through a stack of rubble and threw a silver crown at me.

– Werg!? He’s unharmed!

But I can’t find anything to put the crown on.

– …Takaya (Feria)

– Hm? What’s wrong? Why is your face red?

– If you need a body for Werg, you can use this.

Feria took out a stuffed rabbit from her bag.

– Do not say anything. Do not ask anything. It’s a sort of sleeping charm I use.

It’s hard to imagine Feria sleeping with a stuffed animal. But it’s surprisingly adorable.

After she was done making up obvious excuses, I put Werg’s crown on the rabbit.
