ChapterC.1688: Founding Festival with Shallow Vernal ⑩
[What? What in the world are you———-!? Don’t tell me, Olivia’s come here!?]
Chronois had a puzzled expression in response to Fate’s mutterings, but she quickly understood the reason why Fate had such a troubled expression on her face.
The trace of magic power from teleportation to Hydra Kingdom’s Royal Capital undoubtedly belonged to Olivia. And Olivia was also the most troublesome person for the Supreme Gods to deal with.
[This is a problem. Olivia isn’t someone we can heedlessly come into contact with……]
Likewise, Life, who had sensed Olivia’s magic power, muttered with a puzzled expression on her face.
Yes, Olivia, in essence, belonged to neither the Human Realm, God Realm nor Demon Realm. She occupied a unique position, serving only the World’s God, Shallow Vernal.
To maintain her neutrality, there was an implicit understanding among the powerful figures in each realm, such as the Supreme Gods of the God Realm, the Three Rulers of the Human Realm, and the Six Kings of the Demon Realm, that they generally refrained from getting involved with Olivia, making her a rather difficult being for them to deal with.
In a sense, she’s a special existence that doesn’t belong to any of the powers…… possessing a quality that was just like the World’s Singularity Kaito, so even if they were to notice her arrival, the Supreme Gods couldn’t act immediately.
Of course, they couldn’t just leave her unattended either, so it’s necessary for them to send someone her way, but their concern now is to what level of position the person they should send be so as to avoid breaching their aforementioned tacit understanding.
It’s also for the same reason that Hydra’s King Laguna is currently also holding her head in her hands. If she carelessly shelters Olivia or invites her to her Royal Castle, she may be breaking an unspoken agreement.
[……I mean, Olivin…… She was probably only able to teleport to the Royal Capital because she activated her Teleportation Magic in the Friendship City, right? However, once she gets here, wouldn’t she only have the power of an ordinary person……]
[Yeah, that’s right. Moreover, since she basically doesn’t leave Friendship City, she’s somewhat ignorant of the ways of the world. Being that her behavior can be unreadable, she can be quite terrifying…… Hmm, this is?]
[Shallow Vernal-sama and Miyama Kaito-san are moving…… From the direction they were moving to, they were undoubtedly heading toward Olivia. This is quite helpful.]
Yes, Shallow Vernal was originally Olivia’s master, and Kaito, just like Olivia, is a singularity who doesn’t belong to any faction. Thus, it’s a very fortunate development for them that both Shallow Vernal and Kaito can deal with Olivia, as it’s challenging for them to get involved with her.
[I’m somewhat sorry about this, but I think it would be better to leave this matter to Shallow Vernal-sama and Miyama.]
[Right. Olivin would also properly listen to what the two of them will say…… For the time being, I’ll support them with my Authority, keeping those around them from noticing Olivin…… It’s not gonna work if Olivin herself decides to approach someone though. God of Thoughts, operate someone nearby under the application of Case 73 and arrange for an event by a Low-ranking God. This way, we can influence the people to some extent, so please try to reduce the number of people around Olivia and make it easier for Shallow Vernal-sama and Kai-chan to meet up with her.]
Deciding to use some factors from a plan they originally prepared for Shallow Vernal, they discussed various finer details and adapted it to address their current situation.
Meanwhile, the person in question, Olivia, was moving her gaze in a puzzled manner.
[……This is troubling. I thought I could find Shallow Vernal-sama and Miyama Kaito-sama after arriving and head over to give my greetings…… but come to think of it, I couldn’t use Detection Magic outside Friendship City. For the time being, let’s just ask someone for directions.]
Outside Friendship City, Olivia, whose abilities are no different from ordinary people, had no way of finding out where Shallow Vernal and Kaito were in this large Royal Capital.
Within the Friendship City Hikari, she was almost omnipotent and could perform various tasks. Moreover, she rarely left the boundaries of Friendship City, so she was almost unaware of her capabilities. However, coming to a different place like this, she keenly felt the decline in her abilities.
However, in her case, she could immediately return to Friendship City, so she believed that once she finished her greetings with Shallow Vernal and Kaito, she could quickly return to Friendship City without any issues.
Yes, as usual, she was new to crowds. She didn’t even know that there exists a flow of people in such a place.
[Oi, I heard the Gods are having a surprise event over there.]
[Eh? For real!? Let’s go!]
[If we don’t go there soon, if they have slots, they’ll fill up fast!]
In a strange turn of events, the move taken by the Gods to keep Olivia from strangely getting caught up in trouble backfired. Hearing about a performance organized by the Gods, people started moving in unison, and Olivia had no way to resist the flow.
[Eh? Ahh, move a, wait…… Ahh, where are all these people…… Umm, hey……]
Olivia looked flustered as she was literally being swept away by the flow of people. This wasn’t good, at this rate, she could end up moving to a completely unfamiliar place, and there was even the possibility of her getting lost…… but unfortunately, even though she understood her predicament, there was no way for her to escape, and her feeling of flusteredness continued to grow.
But at that moment, a hand reaches out and grabs Olivia’s wrist, pulling her in tightly.
[Olivia-san!]
[Ahh…… Huehh? ———— ! ? ! ? ? ! ? ! ? ! ? ! ? !]
She was able to escape, thanks to Kaito who arrived just in time and pulled her away from the crowd. However, during the process, Kaito ended up pulling Olivia close, embracing her in the process. At that moment————- Olivia’s thoughts were completely painted white.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [W- Whaaaaattttt!? T- This is impossible! T- This is…… this is…… a surprise attack!?]
