Chapter 89: Shall We Go To The 2nd Floor? (1)

Shall We Go To The 2nd Floor? (1)

My whole body was whining.

It felt as if my body had become a gong that someone had beaten furiously.

Astarosa of Obsession.

The destruction beam she spat out was incredibly powerful, more than I thought.

Honestly, it was a miracle I was unscathed.

Of course.

It wasnt really a miracle.

It was more like an inevitability.

But Cariote, who hadnt noticed my trick, looked me over and said,

The attack by that demoness just now could definitely be described as critical. But Judas, you dont have a single scratch. How did that happen?

Thats a trade secret.

I can sense a trace of magic. Mana shield? No, Judas. I heard you have no talent for magic. How could you conjure a mana shield strong enough to block that spell?

Tsk.

Cariotes deductive skills and intuition were too sharp.

I cant reveal all my tricks in front of a demon now!

Shh-.

I cautioned Cariote.

Cariote closed her mouth as if she understood and then slowly shifted her gaze to the devil sprawled on the floor.

Dina.

Damn it. Im not Dina. Im one of the three pillars. I am Lord Astarosa?

Prideful with drool dripping from her face.

Demons were frightening in their arrogance and dogmatism.

An abnormal obsession and loyalty towards the Demon King.

Astarosa of Obsession was particularly strong.

Moms item!

Swoosh

Cecily snatched the flute hanging around Astarosas neck.

It was a strange flute.

Really made out of bone.

Cariotes eyes widened at the sight of the object but soon returned to a calm demeanor and she calmly tied up Astarosas body.

What were you planning to do with that flute?

Do you think Id tell you? Just kill me.

No, I wont kill you. Cecily, Judas. Youd better cover your ears.

Ears?

Rustle Swoosh

Cariote took out a strange, broad plate from her pouch.

What is she trying to do with that? Hit us with it? As I pondered, Cariote with her nails out began to scratch the plate vigorously with her fingernails.

Like a big cat from the Felidae family scratching a tree!

Screeeech Screeeeeeeech-!

Oh, holy shh.

It was like the sound of nails on a chalkboard!?

An incredibly loud noise burst forth from Cariotes nails!

Even I, accustomed to considerable noise, involuntarily grimaced.

Guaaak, gyaaaak, aaargh!

Astarosa violently contorted her body.

She thrashed around in agony, even more than when she was slashed by Cariotes silver sword.

Is this a demons weakness?

If I had known demons had such a weakness, the expedition would have been easier.

I murmured to myself, half in regret, half in admiration.

Then Cariote stopped her hand abruptly and slowly shook her head.

This isnt exactly a demons weakness. My sister hated this kind of sound terribly. Somehow, this creature seems to be a demon and my sister at the same time.

Really?

Im not sure if I should be happy that my sister is alive in this form, or angry that she has become a demon. And above all

Cariotes eyes moved to Cecilys flute.

Whoosh

Cariote then took out another strange object from her pouch.

It seemed to be a flute made from bone.

About the size of a childs fist.Emerging from the sanctum of Nøv€lß¡n☆, this essence holds secrets untold.

An ocarinawould that be the right term?

The curious thing is that it looked exactly the same as the flute Cecily was holding.

Two identical flutes?

A mass-produced item?

As I felt puzzled, Cariote spoke first.

This is supposed to be one-of-a-kind. But how can there be two of them?

Whoosh.

Cariote reached out towards the flute that Cecily was holding.

Cecily whimpered, T-This belongs to Mom! but she couldnt withstand Cariotes strength and eventually handed the flute over.

Give it back!

Cecily argued back at Cariote.

Her expression was scrunched up in anger, somewhat threatening.

However, Cariote didnt seem to care much as she alternately looked at the two flutes in her hands.

That sounded absolutely terrifying.

It was a relief that their plan failed.

Cariote then looked at Astarosa, tied up in ropes.

My sister died along with my mother. I buried my mother, but I couldnt bury my sister. The sorcerer took her body.

Took her body?

Brigitte asked,

soon Cariote sighed heavily and answered.

Only those who inherit the hunters blood can play the flute. And I think my sister didnt die that day. I never actually saw her stop breathing

Her sister was presumed dead after being grievously wounded and taken by a demon.

Could this be a reunion then?

Of course, Astarosa growled.

Youre not my sister. I am a faithful servant of the Demon Lord.

Gyiiik Gyiiiiiiik Gyiiiiiiik

Gyaaaaak!

I see.

Cariote seemed to be someone who showed no mercy to demons, even if it was her sister.

Or was she even more ruthless because it was her sister?

Family is truly a complicated thing I thought.

The conversation ended somewhat like that.

After agreeing to keep Astarosa tied up in our mansions basement, Cariote seemed to remember something she had forgotten and spoke to Brigitte while we were heading back to the surface.

Ive vaguely realized through this experience that the magic of space-time is dangerous. Seeing the two flutes merge into one, it seems that perfectly identical things cannot exist more than once in the same era.

Is that for real?

I didnt know.

So, another me, Brigitte, or Cariote coming from the future would eventually merge into one.

Anyway.

I headed to the mansions drawing room.

Cecily was there alone, taking an additional test.

It was because she hadnt been able to take the test alone while we spent time in the laboratory.

Beep Beep Beep

Cecily was diligently playing the recorder.

Is it a practical music exam?

But where did the teacher go?

I thought the homeroom teacher of Cecily and Narus class was supposed to come to supervise the additional test.

Anyway, when the test was over, I said to Cecily,

So, do you believe now that Im your father?

Instead of replying, Cecily puffed up her cheeks.

Her face was full of dissatisfaction.

Soon after, Naru burst out, raising her hand.

Oh, holy shh! I thought we were friends, but were actually sisters! Cecily was Narus sister! And now that I think about it, Cecily was Narus family! Memories are flooding back!

Thats how it went.

I had a lot to say, but maybe this was considered a resolution of one matter.

Just when I was feeling the complexity of the situation, Cecily spoke.

The last cherry blossoms

What did you say?

Cecilys father said he must go to where the last cherry blossoms are blooming. As soon as possible.

That was all Cecily said.

She then ran off to play with Naru.

The last cherry blossoms What kind of metaphor is that?

What could it be?

The cherry blossoms had mostly faded already.

But the answer to this was provided by Enkidus.

The last cherry blossoms is the name of a pub. Its a cheap inn but due to its low prices, it attracts many customers. Its located on 35th Street. Its also quite a nice place with dancers performing.

Oh, is that so?

I should hurry up and check it out.

Cecily did say that I needed to go to the last cherry blossoms quickly.

Hehe.

I went to the place introduced by Enkidus.

Just like what the guy said, there was an inn called The Last Cherry Blossoms standing shabbily between dingy alleys.

A fairly large cherry tree was planted in front of it, still beautifully showing off its pink hues, which was quite charming.

I went inside.

Instead of finding dancers, I encountered a familiar face.

You, Judas?

Queen?

The warrior woman Queen from the Demon Castle Breakthrough Party.

The one we thought had betrayed us, was sitting at a table, drinking in the middle of the day!
