Chapter 15: Luminaria of Calamity

That said, do you have any ideas as to their locations? You cant simply catch those guys without any clues.

Well, that is certainly true but at least one is easily predictable.

Just like Mira said, The Nine Wisemen were a bunch of eccentric guys who never stayed in one place.

While Mira was busy figuring out how to fulfill her end of the promise, Solomons words caused her to remember a particular person.

Youre talking about Soul Howl, right?

Yeah, I believe its better to start with him.

Soul Howl The Great Wall was the Elder of the Tower of Necromancy, a guy who loved undead girls to an abnormal extent.

Ancient Temple Nevrapolis, it was a dungeon commonly called the underground cemetery by the players.

In the past, when they adventured there, Soul Howl called that place a paradise. That dungeon filled with a large number of undead monsters was truly a holy land to him.

It was well worth checking for Soul Howl if he was online but not at tower.

The underground cemetery is a bit far away. I would love to use the Floating Continent but

Ill aid you with it. Although, I cant dispatch neither Express Carriage nor the Housing Carriage for this top secret mission.

Express Carriage? Housing Carriage? What are they?

Ahh, the Express Carriage is the carriage you were riding on the way here. It was quite fast, right? It uses spell braces to decrease the burden on horses to the limit, you see. They are our countrys fastest carriages.

Saying so pridefully, Solomon puffed up his chest with a smile.

It was surely fast. Though it doesnt even come close to the Floating Continent.

Dont compare that to a cheat item. Now you should understand how broken it was.

For reference, the speed of the Express Carriage was 25 km/h. Compared to that, the Floating Continent traveled at 500km/h. Express Carriage was quite fast considering the technology of this world. Therefore, just like Solomon said, the Floating Continent was a cheat item.

The Housing Carriage loses in speed to the Express Carriage, but we put effort into adding residence space inside it. Simply speaking, its a carriage version of a camping car.

Huh, thats quite nice.

Mira imagined herself relaxing on the bed, sipping on an Appure while watching the scenery outside move as the carriage gently pressed forward.

By all means I would love to ride on that Housing Carriage.

Well, Ill let you ride it one day.

How stingy of you. You could at least let me ride it to the underground cemetery.

I wish I could do that, but like I said before, its a top secret mission. Both the Express Carriage and Housing Carriage are custom-made for things involving the country, such as welcoming royalty and similar stuff. You will most likely gather lots of attention wherever you go.

Id rather pass on that.

Right? Well, I will prepare a normal carriage for you.

While they were talking like this, a noise suddenly came from outside. Immediately after, ignoring Reynards pleas to stop, a single woman opened the door of the office with so much strength it nearly broke.

That person who snatched away Miras and Solomons gaze, was a woman wearing a white and blue robe, and had extremely attractive proportions of her body and beautiful facial features. It was a beauty that would steal anyones gaze.

This beauty had a deep crimson hair that looked like it was burning, her boobs were unimpeded from asserting themselves as they shook. She glanced at Solomon with her crimson eyes which did not lose to the color of her hair, then poured her gaze at the girl.

What happened all of a sudden? It is not the appointed time yet.

Completely changing his manner of speaking and adjusting it into one full of dignity, Solomon fixed his gaze on the beauty who had entered the office. At the same time she heard these words, she closed the door with a strong momentum.

Being hit in the head by the closing door, Reynard made an expression of anguish as he staggered and tears appeared in his eyes. Seeing him like that, Joachim put a hand on his shoulder and comforted him by saying, Dont mind it, saying anything to that person is pointless.

I heard a girl calling herself Danbulfs disciple came, so I went to the audience hall to take a look at her, but I found no one. And when I wrung up a guard nearby he told me you moved to the office, so I came here.

I see. Well, in any case I was going to bring her to you.

With these words, Solomon walked to Miras side.

This girl is Danbulfs disciple, Mira.

Introduced like that, Mira did not stand up from the seat or said any greeting, she just stared at the woman standing in front of the door, smiling bitterly at how the woman did not change, then reseated herself on the sofa.

So, it was her? By the way, Your Highness Solomon, should you be speaking this way?

The way of speaking as pointed out by the beauty, was one he used when speaking with friends, not the speech mannerism with a self-important tone fitting for a king. The two had decided that when there was someone together with them, they would act in appropriate manner.

Ah, there is no problem. I mean, this is Danbulf himself. So you can speak normally, too. Its been many years, but I still cant get used to you speaking this way.

While saying this, Solomon made a mischievous smile.

W w-w-wha

Ahh, its been a long time, Luminaria. At least for you. It had just been two days for me.

Retaining a relaxed posture on the sofa, Mira just raised one hand in a greeting.

Luminaria. It was the name of one of the Nine Wisemen and the only Elder whose whereabouts were currently known.

I see. Danbulf, huh. Youve finally come hereU//ppTodatd fr//m n/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)\\/m

Luminaria stared at Miras whole body as if inspecting her. Then seeing the adorable appearance of the girl, she clearly recalled the time when she had a discussion with Danbulf on their preferences.

Miras appearance perfectly matched the characteristics she heard back then. Seeing her best friend unchanged, Luminaria was both happy and amused, and she burst out into laughter.

Hearing the laughing voice leak out slightly through the closed door, Reynard had covered his ears, and together with Joachim, they nodded to each other. Luminaria sometimes changes into a completely different person. That was the rumor whispered in the castle, which was correct in a sense.

After rolling about with laughter, Luminaria once again captured Mira in her sights. She grinned and made a meaningful expression.

This means you finally realized how wonderful this is, right? A womans body is great, isnt it? Did you play with it to your hearts content yet?

And while the first thing she said were really indecent words, Luminarias glossy lips with their ends raised in a smile were so alluring that they turned even such words into part of her charm.

Dont lump me together with you. It was an accident, so to speak, not my will.

And yet, thats some first-class finishing touches you got there. I dont think youll be able to pass this off as an accident, yknow?

Ugh Its a long story. Hmph.

Mira briefly explained the whole story starting from the mail notice about the expiring web money and ending with todays situation.

I got the vanity case for exactly the same reason. Though I havent used it.

Once Mira finished explaining, Solomon said that he bought the vanity case for the same reason of not wanting to waste the money.

In which case, Im the same.

Said Luminaria as she took a vanity case out from the item box. Mira glared at Luminaria hatefully while she was toying with it in her hands. In a sour mood, Mira pursed her lips sulkily and lied down on the sofa.

I wonder why I dont have one.

Because you already used it, duh.

Miras heart was gouged by Solomons blunt words and she growled before facing up and threw her four limbs out like a kid throwing tantrums.

But well, at least you should be glad that it wasnt a joke character. The ideal female image, was it? Its better than getting something you have absolutely no attachment to or is not your ideal, a silver lining in a dark cloud, isnt it.

From my perspective, this world becoming real was a lucky happening. This worlds the best. I mean, starting from day one I played to my hearts content.

Luminaria made a refreshing smile with her pretty face. If one ignored what was inside, she would definitely steal hearts of many men and unfortunately, the only ones knowing her real identity were the two that were here.

Staring coldly at Luminaria who did not change in the least, Mira scooped up a certain question that came to her mind.

By the way, this has been bothering me since just now, but Solomon, you were here thirty years, Luminaria was twenty, right? So much time has passed but you two certainly dont look like you aged at all.

At first glance, nothing looked out of place for Mira since it had just been two days for her. However, it was inexplicable for the two to remain the same as back then as they had come to this world at different times from her. Even if one overlooked Luminaria, the same couldnt be done for Solomon.

It was impossible for a human to retain a boys appearance for nearly forty years.

Speaking of which, its become so obvious to us that I forgot to talk about it.

And its one of reasons why this world is the best.

To settle down in place, Solomon pulled his office chair with wheels next to the sofa, but as if it was for first come first served, Luminaria sat down on it and crossed her youthful legs to show them off.

To put it simply, it looks like we ex-players are different from the normal people who used to be NPCs.

What is the difference?

Yup. First, its about inspecting, did you try to inspect me or Luminaria?

She actually tried to inspect Solomon in the audience room but no information was shown. Trying again, this time she gazed intently at Luminaria who wriggled around in a disgusting manner. However, no information appeared within the sight. Sёarch* The NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Nothing shows for you two. It worked for Suleyman and Graia however.

Hearing that, Solomon made a boyish smile and sat on the sofa by Miras legs as she lied on it with her arms and legs spread.

Its likely that inspecting ex-players is impossible. Thats the first difference. By the way, when I first saw you I tried inspecting you but didnt see anything, so I knew you were an ex-player.

You proclaimed to be Danbulfs disciple the moment he came online and had the appearance of a loli in Danbulfs taste. Even if it wasnt me, other people would realize it with that much evidence.

Solomon explained it while correcting the robes edge that became a skirt, covering Miras legs to hide her bloomers.

In other words, it can act as basis for judgement.

Exactly. We cant be certain that everyone youll be looking for from now on did not change their appearance. But at the very least you can tell whether someone is a player or not.

However, with their personality like that, we have other things to base on other than their looks.

Certainly. I have confidence to tell Luminaria apart even if she changed her appearance.

Agreed. It would be hard to find another pervert like this.

After taking a glance at Luminaria who stared at her own legs in rapture, the two laughed meaningfully. Being called a pervert, Luminaria glared at the two, but then for some reason her expression suddenly changed.

In other words were so close that you can tell me apart even if I changed my appearance, right?!

Giving an unexpected reply, Luminaria dived into the sofa like doing a body press. Solomon quickly avoided her, but the completely exhausted Mira, with a small surprised cry, was mercilessly hugged by Luminaria.

My friend!

Hey, stop it, Bakanaria! Sto Where are you touching!

Luminarias wiggling hand treated Miras body as a sacrifice for itself and started creeping around her limbs as if to inspect her.

Its fine, its finngha!

Luminaria assaulted Mira like a certain evil magistrates impression, but along with a bursting sound, she let out a voice that gushed out from deep inside her and flew in the air, then with all the momentum she hit the ceiling before falling back down on the floor.

Mira who lied face up on the sofa, had protruded her right hand up towards the ceiling. She had fired the Sage spell Shock Wave at Luminaria from point-blank.

Putting life on the line to cop a feel, arent you?

Solomon spoke indifferently towards Luminaria, who slowly got up and responded with a thumbs up, Still worth it.

Fixing her disordered robe, Mira got up and stared coldly at Luminaria with a warning,Next time Ill include Magic Eye.

After that, Luminaria, having nothing to do with her dubiously prepared hands, began to pick up the scattered paper on the floor.

Mm, what an admirable attitude.

Oh you, I just like when its clean, you see

Then please take care of those as well.

Taking advantage of the moment, Solomon pointed at a desk full of scattered documents, to which Luminaria nodded without a word.
