Chapter 129.1

“Eh?”

“Oh?”

“I know this person.”

“Know them.”

The Titi fly around me while talking.

“It’s the demon king.”

“Demon King of Tyranny.”

“Strong person.”

“Stronger than the gods.”

Fumu. They apparently know me.

“It’s been a long time. I’d like to go to Ahartherun. Can you guide the way?” (Arnos)

The Titi’s gather around and whisper to each other. Eventually, they look my way and speak.

“Are those kids coming as well?”

“Interesting children.”

“Indirect helmet.”

“Eight poles eight poles.”

Apparently, they like the fan union girls?

“Of course. They are my subordinates.” (Arnos)

The Titi’s fly around happily while cheering.

“Yay.”

“He said the indirect helmets are coming.”

“The demon kings subordinates are different from 2000 years ago.”

“Completely different.”

I had thought that the fan union might possibly be on the same wavelength as the Titi but this has exceeded my expectations and then some.

“I’ll give you something nice as thanks for showing us around.” (Arnos)

I use to create miniature Arnos poles that fit the Titi and transferred them to their hands.

“Yay! Arnos pole Arnos pole.”

“Eii eii.”

“Pregnant pregnant.”

“Kyaa.”

Fumu. It’s like a small fan union now. It’s a harmonious feeling.

“Guide you.”

“Over here over here.”

“Come come.”

“The great spirit forest awaits.”

The glowing fairies made their way into the fog.

“Let’s go.” (Arnos)

I take a step forward and Ray stops me.

“It is okay leaving Nousgalia here?” (Ray)

“Fumu. He seems to still be in the meadow at the mome-” (Arnos)

I stop talking mid-sentence and turn around as Nousgalia suddenly appears.

“Yo. I see you’ve managed to make the Titi laugh.” (Nousgalia)

“What do you want?” (Arnos)

“I’m your escort. I can’t grade you if you go on ahead. Wouldn’t it be more convenient for you too?” (Nousgalia)

It would certainly be easier to keep an eye on him if he comes.

“Do as you like.” (Arnos)

We head into the fog with Nousgalia trailing behind.

We walk through the fog for a while following the glowing Titi.

As I started to wonder how long we’d been walking the view in the fog began to change.

What was supposed to be a vast meadow suddenly had tree’s in it. Not only tree’s either. There were mushrooms with shapes not found in Deiruheido, flowers that emitted dim light and rocks with features that looked like human faces.

As we continued the fog gradually lifted before disappearing completely.

This was the fantastical deep forest Ahartherun.

“We’ve arrived.”

“Arrived we have.”

“The great spirit forest.”

“Ahartherun.”

The Titi are happily flying around waving their Arnos poles about in mock swordfights.

“Titi. There’s supposed to be a mazoku called Shin Reglia here. Do you know him?” (Arnos)

The Titi gather into a group and start talking amongst themselves.

“Shin Reglia?”

“Do you know it?”

“I don’t.”

“No idea.”

If Shin came to Ahartherun it’s strange that the Titi don’t know him. That being said, the Titi are extremely fickle and random. They could just as easily say they remember him later.

“Then one of my subordinates from 2000 years ago should be here. Do you know him?” (Arnos)

When I asked this the Titi shouted out almost universally.

“I know.”

“Mazoku from 2000 years ago.”

“Been here a lot.”

“At the spirit school.”

Spirit school? Fumu. An unfamiliar name appeared.

I say that but there’s a lot I don’t know about the spirits still.

“Can you take me there?” (Arnos)

“No problem. You gave me an Arnos pole.”

“Thank you thank you.

“Thank you for the helmet.”

“Eight poles eight poles!”

The Titi set off showing us the way.

“Hey hey.”

“That person”

“Name.”

“What’s your name?”

The Titi are calling out to Rina.

“It’s Rina.” (Rina)

The Titi land on her shoulders and head to rest their wings.

“Rina?”

“What name is that?”

“It feels different.”

“Are you sure it’s Rina?”

Rina pouts for a moment then laughs.

“I have Amnesia. Do you Titi know anything about me?” (Rina)

The fairies put their hands on their chins in thought.

“I feel like I know you.”

“It does.”

“But.”

“I can’t remember.”

The Titi take off and happily fly around Rina.

Misha stared at them.

“Arnos.” (Misha)

“What’s up?” (Arnos)

Misha looked at Rina.

“She’s not a mazoku.” (Misha)

“So it seems.” (Arnos)

“Spirit?” (Misha)

“Aah.” (Arnos)

It’s hard to tell because her magic power is so small but her origin is definitely that of a spirit. The reason why Rina felt she had to go to Ahartherun is probably due to her being a spirit.

“That explains why I thought it was a little odd. But do spirits get amnesia?” (Sasha)

“Well, she could be a spirit born from the rumours and traditions surrounding a girl with amnesia.” (Arnos)

“Aah, I see……” (Sasha)

Rina gazed around the forest with a nostalgic expression.

“Ah.”

“I’ve got it.”
