Chapter 601 To The Valley
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
The morning after embracing Himeno, Shinji woke up feeling refreshed. He appeared in the village square of the Dragonmen, accompanied by 3 high-ranking spirits.
The Dragonmen warriors, including Ichiro, watched them from a distance. Since they were a race disliked by the spirits, it was the first time many of them had seen high-ranking spirits up close, and they felt nervous.
”Those people are high-ranking spirits… They’re beautiful.”
”I can feel their incredible magical power. So this is what high-ranking spirits are like…”
Even though the Dragonmen felt sad about being disliked by the spirits, they held no ill feelings. They had a strong faith in Goddess Arian and whispered to each other while sending heated glances at the 3 beautiful women, who also believed in Goddess Arian.
Even the strongest race, the Dragonmen, were still young men, and the allure of Freri, who was a half-succubus, caught their attention. Despite her leaning against him, Shinji remained unresponsive, focusing on the documents in his hands to check the faces and names of the participating warriors, which made the men shiver.
There were also the leaders waiting in the village, like Himeno, Mitono, and Coral. Only Himeno was familiar with Flair and Sylphy, while Mitono and Coral were meeting them for the first time.
Even Princess Coral didn’t know anyone who had 3 high-ranking spirits with them. Because she had left the internal affairs to her marriage family, she envied the luck of the Wolf family, which had an excellent wizard (Shinji) under their command. Coral understood how much Christina valued Shinji’s ability to manage affairs without relying on individuals.
Not noticing her gaze, Shinji finished all the checks and pulled Freri away, standing in front of them again.
”Looks like everyone is here. Before we set off, there’s something to discuss, but let’s have them explain it.”
When Shinji turned to Sylphy, she stepped forward.
”Since we arrived at the village, I’ve felt a bad presence from the valley that isn’t good for the spirits. And right now, there’s no sign of spirits around the valley. This suggests that there are no spirits inside the valley either.”
The bustling square suddenly fell silent. There was no warrior present who didn’t understand how serious this was.
The Dragonmen warriors knew that they could fulfill their duties given by Goddess Arian up to today because the spirits were working behind the scenes.
The spirits had warned them before the monster horde became large, and they had also alerted them about monsters trying to leave the valley. Additionally, the spirits had ensured that the crops thrived so the villagers wouldn’t go hungry.
Even when other regions faced famine, the Dragonmen village remained unaffected. They had never suffered from hunger throughout the long years. Even without the spirits speaking, the wise Dragonmen understood.
”I tried to investigate from the outside, but something blocked me, making it impossible. Therefore, we have no choice but to confirm it directly. The investigation we’re heading to now aims to find whatever is in the valley.”
As Sylphy finished speaking, Flair stepped forward in the same way. With a dignified attitude that perfectly matched the phrase “majestic,” she tossed words to the warriors.
”Even we don’t know what’s waiting for us until we enter the valley-noja. Be aware that we’re going to a place more dangerous than usual! Your efforts will definitely be for the goddess. I expect each of you to do your best-noja!”
””Yeah!!””
The pride of the Dragonmen is greatly stirred, and the warriors are filled with excitement. Shinji feels a sense of reliability from the high morale, which is just as strong as the soldiers heading to the decisive battle in Soukai Country, while Coral can’t help but feel surprised.
Just as she wishes to dedicate her life to the sea, the Dragonmen also want to dedicate their lives to Goddess Arian──no, they have already devoted a long time to her, and she realizes, albeit late, that her own laziness almost crushed that feeling.
(But, there’s nothing I can do…)
Though a desire to atone grows within her, Coral understands that she is both the leader and just a figurehead, and that it’s better not to act recklessly. Therefore, she can only watch quietly.
(I hope they all come back safely…)
Coral sincerely prays for everyone’s safety, as if she were sending off a ship into the vast ocean. She stays in the square until she can no longer see Shinji and the others.
However, even her heartfelt prayers are ultimately powerless. They have no connection to the strange occurrences in the valley, and as they approach the valley, changes begin to happen to Flair and the others.
”Ugh, what is this voice… It’s echoing in my head…”
”Am I being called by something… Is this the cause…?”
’My head, it hurts…’
Hearing a voice that resonates directly in their heads, they press their hands against their temples. An unknown woman’s voice repeatedly whispers, “Come this way…” slowly, and with each repetition, they are tormented by headaches.
However, that voice could only be heard by the spirits, and it had no effect on Shinji or the Dragonmen warriors. Because of this, Shinji couldn’t do anything to ease their suffering; he could only move forward while observing the situation.
Flair and Sylphy seemed to be in a lot of pain, so their pace slowed down. To make up for it, they floated just above the ground. Freri, on the other hand, quickly stopped walking and clung to Shinji’s back. She was floating too, so she wasn’t heavy, but the situation was confusing enough to make them wonder if they should keep going.
They finally arrived at the entrance of the valley, but the expressions on their faces were clearly bad, and they didn’t look like they could fight properly.
It was eerily quiet there, and when they asked the hidden Dragonmen guards, they testified that they hadn’t seen any monsters from the valley lately.
”…Flair. I’m going to send you back for a bit to check if the headache continues, okay?”
”Hmm… got it-noja. You two, please protect Shinji-noja.”
After confirming that Freri and Sylphy nodded, Flair disappeared. It seemed that physical distance mattered, as Flair sent a thought saying that her headache quickly went away when she was far away. Explaining that the Dragonmen were there, Shinji and the others decided to move away from the valley for a bit, and after a brief word, he exchanged thoughts with her.
’Well, this is tough. I feel like I want to turn back, but I can’t go back without any results. I want to hear opinions about that voice first, what do you think?’
’That voice has the power to attract spirits. We are high-ranking spirits, so we could resist it, but ordinary spirits would become dazed and be drawn in.’
’Yes. It’s definitely because of that voice that the spirits have disappeared from the valley and the surrounding area-noja. I don’t know what has happened to the spirits that were drawn in…’
’The rich magical power that the spirits possess is the goal, I believe. The longer we wait, the worse it will be.’
Their thoughts (Sylphy, Flair, Freri) were something Shinji could agree with. That means some kind of solution is needed, but without knowing what is making that voice, there’s no way to come up with a plan.
’I hope we can find out what is attracting the spirits… Do you have any ideas about that?’
They didn’t have an answer to that question. Flair and Sylphy had followed Goddess Arian and done various jobs, but they had never encountered a situation like this before, and they didn’t have the knowledge for it. If there was nothing in the knowledge held by the succubus, then Freri, who had even less experience, wouldn’t know either.
Should they go or should they retreat? As Shinji hesitated and couldn’t decide, a very strong thought interrupted him.
’I will answer that question.’
With the appearance of Goddess Arian, who had been unreachable for a long time, Shinji found a solution to his doubts.
A chance for the goddess to redeem herself after the incident at Hateyama.
