Re: Player-Chapter 126: [Finding Clues!]
[Loading Complete!]
Once again, I woke up in the storeroom of my shop. My eyes wide awake, I look at the ceiling above me.
"Let's start with the basics," I mumbled as I got up slowly and moved outside where the breakfast was.
By this time, I could easily tell how many breads were there and who would eat which bread among them.
Anyways… the important stuff…
"Valencia, you are the Goddess of Battle and Wars, right?" I spoke out as I looked up, while moving towards the sisters, who were now looking at me in confusion.
"I know that the four of you are watching me. I don't really mind that, but there was something I wanted to ask, if it was all right?" I kept speaking while I sat on the floor beside the girls.
"Have you ever heard of the name God of Irrationality?" I spoke out and…
-Whoosh! x 4
4 beautiful ladies appeared in my shop behind me.
"Where have you heard that name?" Valencia asked. Even though she was behind me, I could tell she carried a really serious expression.
Anna and Leena were stumped at this point. Dazed, they looked at the goddesses, unable to utter a single word out of their mouth.
"Anna. Leena. Meet Valencia, Alepsia, Freya and Zora. Goddesses, meet Leena and Anna." I introduced each other before sitting down and taking a bite of the bread.
"Mmm… Tasty!" I enjoyed the taste of the bread before I saw the silence was getting more and more awkward.
Pausing, I then slowly turned my head around and said,
"Come sit. I'll talk."
And after a momentary pause, she then moved beside me,
"Excuse me."
And slowly sat on my left side.
Alepsia followed, sitting on my right and Anna and Leena, who were still dazed, made space for them subconsciously.
"You guys will keep standing?" I asked as I looked at Zora and Freya, who had their eyes narrowed at me since they came here.
And thus all 5 of us looked at Zora and Freya, waiting for them to sit with us.
Zora was the first to sigh and then moved on the opposite side, sitting between Leena and Anna.
Freya stood there for a few moments before moving and sitting between Leena and Valencia on the left.
"Let me do the portions," I spoke as I distributed the breads equally between the people there.
"So. How do you know that name?" Asked Valencia again as she took a bite from the bread.
"I'll tell but first can you tell me about him? It's kind of important," I asked, and they all looked at each other.
"Alepsia. Valencia," Freya gave a certain look with her eyes to the two goddesses beside me.
Meanwhile, Zora, who kind of relaxed herself here, asked Leena to pass another piece of bread. It didn't seem like she was as much interested in this talk.
Leena blankly passed the bread as she looked at the Queen of Witches.
"Sorry Adam. But you need to tell us about your side first. We Goddesses really need to be careful with this," Valencia spoke with a knowing smile.
I pondered for a moment before deciding that it's not much of a big deal for me start either.
Though Leena's hand froze in the air with the piece of bread. Her eyes paused at me as soon as she heard the word 'Adam.'
Ignoring her…
"I heard that name from a certain someone. He asked me for that God's location in exchange for letting an entire city and its people go. Think you can help?" I started first before taking a bite.
"A certain someone?" Alepsia asked with interest.
"A hell Guardian," I ate that piece as I looked at them.
"Oh that makes sense- wait a second!!!" Valencia shouted as she looked at me.
-Crack!!
Zora dropped the cup she was holding while Alepsia just stared at me dazed. As for Freya, she looked at me in disbelief.
"What… Did you say?!" Freya exclaimed.
"Another cup please," I spoke as I looked at Anna, who slowly looked at others before moving towards the teapot.
Pouring the tea in the cup, she kept gazing at the goddesses with a slightly scared face.
"Thank you, Anna," I smiled at her before speaking.
"I met a Hell Guardian. He wants to know the location of the God of Irrationality in exchange for the lives thousands of people."
And then, under the constant gaze of everyone there, I began sipping tea from the cup. Tasty.
"Adam… you aren't lying, are you? Cause this is all greater than any of us," Alepsia spoke as she looked at me with her eyes shaking a little.
"First tell me where he is and I will explain everything in detail," I said as I turned serious as well.
'Hopefully it won't be too long before I find the location,' I thought with a sigh on the inside.
"All right. But we will form a confidentiality contract first," Valencia spoke as she reached a conclusion.
"Valencia-!!" Shouted Freya, but Zora stopped her.
"If it is true, then we might be able to turn the game around," Zora spoke as she gave it a bit of thought and continued,
"Alepsia, are you sure we can count on him, though? You know him the most among us."
Alepsia, sitting beside me, turned silent as she looked at Zora before looking at me.
And then, gaining a silent affirmation from Valencia, she sighed as she spoke," I believe in him."
I sighed on the inside as I thought she might go against me. But luckily she didn't do anything like that.
"Thank you Alepsia," I smiled as I thanked her while she nodded before taking out a golden paper from her space.
Freya didn't seem to like all this but still kept quiet as she watched the rest of us.
It took a few minutes before all the process was done.
They asked me to write a bunch of clauses so that I won't lie or miss any details, which I did. And in return they will tell me about the God of Irrationality.
I added a clause that they will say it first and I will later, which didn't bother them as much.
It should have though… Just saying… who knows I might turn back time or something midway?
