Volume 5 Chapter 46 Hysteribaba
"...Only Ginji go back over mountain? Artia stay at base?"
They go back to human place using carriage. Carriage go through tunnel they dig.
In carriage is Horace, Nousa, and Ginji.
Artia was in carriage when they come, but now she say she stay, so they leave her there.
But 'Under-Ops' job is in human place, while still in Order of Sealed Dragon. So later, they leave base and go to human place again.
About tunnel—after talk with Lucibes, they decide not bury it. Ginji put hide magic on it instead. When they talk, Lucibes not look weird. He used to weird people.
...Also, when Horace get told "Sir Laris can smash mountain with one hit," he can't say anything back.
"Just as we were leaving, Ratis came back and said Artia'd stay behind to yell at him."
"Right before we left headquarters, he ripped off her necklace. I wonder what happens to it."
"..."
"Oi, what wrong, Horace?"
"I change ear parts to golem type, so now I hear better. Even after door close, I still hear the yell."
"Ahh ha ha ha ha!"
Ginji laugh loud.
"Wow, crazy."
"Yeah, like 4 sound step higher than normal. It just like bat sound."
"Her throat not break?"
"It break many time. That old hag always like that."
"But, she only talk normal when she say 'You listening!?'"
"That worst. Only time she speak normal is when she want answer."
They no understand her at all, then boom—normal voice when it need reply.
"That just mean power yell abuse. Poor Ratis."
"He just victim. Try fight someone who always win. It just stupid now."
"Not normal pain, more like torture! She wears that necklace long time, but didn't know it do that when take off."
"What you do if Artia turn like that, Mr. Ginji?"
"Huh? Oh, I run. Put ear thing in and run. I no deal with that forever."
"Yeah, me too. No way to deal with that forever."
Teaching must reach other person. If not, just talk to self.
Artia just talk to self.
But... this time, what right or wrong not matter.
If anyone touch Horace, Artia go crazy.
If Ratis know that, he no do anything.
"...Okay, no more about old hag. What you do now, Horace?"
"What you mean?"
"You got case. Got all pieces. You gonna fight now, right?"
"...How you know?"
Zulane, from Shildress, say thing about fan to 'start Horace story.'
Only Gaspar Redless was there to hear, and his voice was sealed.
Plus, he not come out again.
"In live video at Sevenstar Academy, you fought the last boss, Clim Fourclover Apollyon in Myriad Legion base dungeon. Footage show the pieces. People who know, they know."
"That so?"
"Drone made by you very strong. Not just video. It scan deep too. That footage get to right place. People see it, people know."
"..."
"What wrong, big brother? You look confused."
"...Me, I look at pieces, but feel nothing. I thought door will open if I got them..."
Horace look real confused.
(Horace brain like that. First family head, Poraster Glasha, carve that. It in his blood. But now it blurry. His brain must go golem mode. If he still doesn't get it, that bad.)
Ginji sigh inside.
"Well, it okay. Everyone have stuff they can't see."
"...True."
"For magic, strong image help... No, for strong people, 'sure thing' needed. That why stuff you can't see feel bad. I had that too. Long time ago, I also no see things."
Ginji sigh again.
For him, biggest problem is Eudynes.
The Adventurers who Horace like. They make Golem Master into proper thing.
But people who know Eudynes call him 'bastard.'
Whatever reason, he was at Sevenstar Academy. Sid was teacher then. Ginji just join as new teacher.
Not see something is hard. Even if 100 years ago, Ginji still remember.
"There still place to go. But I no welcome you."
"..."
"Well, don't think too hard. You gonna fight 'god,' right?"
"...Yeah."
No need for nerves.
No need for mission.
Fight god is Horace's own fight.
Dungeon called 'Thy Name' belong to Five Divine Gods.
If go deep, get 'god name.' That name never lose.
Magic need many things, but biggest is 'name.'
Humans can't make stronger word than 'god.'
So, get god name = get max power.
And... in book from Eudynes, 'Book of Adventures,' it say: "For Golem Master, god is not for pray, god is for make." Horace like that line too much. Can't forget it.
He want go there.
Horace think to gods: 'Don't block me.'
So he fight.
He no have mission.
Just fight from love.
"I come this far. Forget mission. Forget bloodline. If anything happen, it from other side."
"Yeah."
