Chapter 103: Studying And Training Is Such A Pain (5)

Studying And Training Is Such A Pain (5)

This world has many different religions.

The 21st-century world where I used to live had many famous ones so Ill forgo explaining those.

This continent of Pangaea also had many, even more than the number of Demiurges.

Firstly, the most well-known one was the Order of Yahbach, the God of Light.

Though there were a lot of orders in the world, the common name of The Order usually referred to the Order of Yachbach.

They actively spread their doctrine through a Priestess.

They say the Priestess performs miracles such as healing illnesses or exorcising demons.

So when they chose the cleric for the subjugation party, I had definitely expected this Priestess to join.

But it had been some baldy elf instead.

A monk of the Sect of the Ascending Sun.

From what I know, the Ascending Sun Sect was a small order that had its headquarters up high in the mountains.

I dont know much else besides that.

Based on Enkidus living patterns, they were probably leading a somewhat abstinent life and placed significant meaning on the individuals transcendence and liberation (Moksha).

To be encountering the sects Grandmaster, how fortunate.

Cariote was in awe.

The one standing before us with bright golden eyes was an incredible person, after all.

The head of the sect of the Ascending Sun, the Grand Abbot.

Ive only heard that she was Enkidus master but it was my first time seeing her and first impressions-wise, she was bizarre.

She looked like a rather young woman.

Of course, it was foolish to judge ones age by appearance.

She was supposedly over 200 years old.

The oldest of the old.

Her age was way beyond my preference, so even if there was a good chance that she was a beautiful woman, I could only feel disinterested.

But Cariote was interested.

Ive heard that the Grandmaster of the Ascending Sun is perceived to Truth and can answer all the worlds questions. Is that correct?

Answer every question?

Was this Grand Abbot a human Google?

The Master nodded.

Should this Unenlightened One have the answer, I will give it. But only one question per person. You cannot revoke the question you choose.

Just one question, is it?

While I was thinking about that, Cariote asked without hesitation.

Would you know how to change my sister back? She went missing and then returned as a demon. There should be a way to turn her back into a human.

To return to being human from a demon it will need an intricate incantation but it is not completely impossible. Boil a nymphs tear in clean, ditch water and have her drink it until she is well.

Drink a nymphs tear boiled in ditch water?

That sounded suspicious.

Isnt it a folk remedy like putting soybean paste where it hurts?

I was feeling doubtful when the Master kept going.

Of course, it will be difficult to meet a nymph in present circumstances. Their numbers are now few after being hunted relentlessly over the past 100 years.

The nymphs were indeed low in numbers.

Ive only really seen two in the Pangaean continent.

One was a government officials wife.

The second was Sifnoi.

The current nymphs are highly wary due to their history of persecution. Therefore, even if you meet one, it will be difficult to obtain their tears.

That was how it was, apparently.

So Sifnoi is actually some kind of natural monument.

Cariote also nodded, saying Its good that there is one accessible.

It would be relieving to know that feeding boiled nymph tears to her sister will return her to normal.

Then is it my turn to ask?

I wanted to ask a whole bunch of things.

I didnt know which one I should ask.

I get stuck if suddenly told to ask something.

Im not sure what I should be asking. What question will you have an answer to?

I asked.

It was like a weird zen riddle but if its the Grandmaster of Enkidus religion, then this should be no problem.

Slide

Soon, the pressuring golden gaze dimmed behind her closing eyelids.

After the alley had dimmed quite a bit, the Grand Abbot hummed a few times in thought before replying.

To one who is lost, signposts are needed. But even if this Unenlightened One does not tell you, you already have three of them. The answer is already within you, so this beggar has no other words to give.

I knew it.

As expected, religious folk are always so ambiguous and indirect with their answers when theyre asked something.

I wasnt disappointed since I had no expectations to begin with.

I merely thought that for a master who was admired by Enkidus, she wasnt that interesting.

The Grandmaster then spoke.

Then this Imperfect One will now ask. Which is the way to Graham Academy? The way of the world divides into many paths that it is difficult to navigate.

What the.

Salome, your teaching is preventing Narus princess power from increasing. Do you have the proper credentials? What was the point of sending her to school until now?

What are you saying? I should smack you, seriously. How do you think Naru is actually keeping up with school and not expelled already?

Salome picked her ear as if annoyed.

Then she spoke as if recalling something.

The Grand Abbot of the Ascending Sun Sect visited the school. She came in contact with Elle Cladeco. She seems to have been invited as her guest. What do you think it might be?

The Grand Abbot and Elles meeting.

When the Master asked for directions to Graham Academy yesterday, I somewhat figured that they would meet.

The two were close to transcendence.

They probably conversed about the hard and complicated truth.

Maybe Brigitte will know.

Should I go find her?

As I was thinking that, Salome rummaged through her bag.

She then pulled out a thin notebook, which, apart from its green color and thinness, was a plain one.

Homework from the students?

Salome spoke.

Do you know what this is?

Notebook.

It is. But thats not what Im asking. Your level of speaking is like Narus.

Then whats inside the notebook?

Even I dont have x-ray vision to see inside books.

There wasnt a reason to.

Should I try?

Staaaaare

My eyes burned through the notebook.

When it seemed like I might see beyond the cover, Salome opened the notebook with a Swish

There was a picture.

An object with a childs crayon sketch and words written underneath it.

A picture diary?

It was a picture diary.

Had it been a students homework?

As I pondered, Salome explained.

It is. But its not just a normal picture diary. All the things written here havent actually happened yet.

What do you mean?

This diary contains the future. Not everything, but there are some surprising events. It even talked about the Grand Abbot coming to this school in May.

A diary talking about the future?

How can there be such a thing?

But it wasnt strange that it existed.

Many kinds of things happen in this world.

So this was the reason why no one saw her for the past few days.

Where did you get this crazy item?

I asked her.

Then Salome replied proudly as if showing off.

I grabbed it from some kid. They were freaking out, trying to protect it. Such aggression. Do you see all these scratches? This is why I hate kids.

I mean, if you take someones possession, wont they obviously freak out?

Moreover, its a diary.

Ding Dong Deng Dong

Just then, the bell rang.

Salome said, Okay, well talk later at the mansion, and went inside the class.

It was just me in the hallway.

I was thinking of heading downtown to buy Naru and Cecilys brush and fan when

I noticed a child hanging out in the hallway.

The kid had pink hair and cold eyes, but she didnt seem to be a student here because of her lack of uniform.

The way she was looking around as if lost or searching for something was a pitiful sight.

Youre.

!

When our eyes met, the girl hastily pulled up the hood of her baggy robes to cover her face.

And she ran away with quite the agility.

What the, where did she go?

Though I was surprised when I saw her gone after turning the corner.

I did just learn from Cariote yesterday how to track someone by their footprints.
