Campione Lord of Realms Interlude 4

Interlude 4

.

Rokuhara Ren went to a journey of the forbidden realms together with the child of fate

.

「This land is called Hyperborea huh.」

Lightning god Thor spoke innocently after the battle ended.

「This sanctuary looks really interesting. I’m going to travel around for a bit.」

「Oh. That’s a nice idea.」

Stella smiled on Ren’s left shoulder.

「Then, I’ll call for you again if there is a chance. Let’s also drink merrily somewhere at that time.」

「Umu! Then we shall part here for a time. Small goddess of love, and also my old comrades-in-arms. I swear to the beard of my father Odin that we will reunite once more!」

Thor left behind those hearty words and flew away.

They were at the grassland near the north gate of the Capital of Pleasure that Ren and other built.

The lively outdoor festival of Anti Fate Religion and also the extermination of Lion Corps under the command of Richard I had also finished. Tranquility had returned to the place.

However, there was just one person who was in a bad mood.

「The chaos in Hyperborea will escalate even more if someone like a god of Norse is loitering around! The trend of anti fate will heighten even more and it will become a disaster!」

Yukino complained with an irritated tone.

Although the summoner themselves were acting carefree.

「It will be fine if it’s just something at this level. So stop being noisy annoying girl.」

「Yep yep. It will also be easier to call for assistance next time if Thor-san is nearby.」

Stella replied easygoingly. Ren also backed her up lightheartedly.

Yukino got angry with 「Geez」.

「Really, what’s with you two! You act frivolously, a thief, and also unconcerned with the order of the mythology!」

「If it’s about the order and so forth of the mythology, it’s actually miss Yukino and me who are more problematic.」

From the sky a blue bird──a blue jay descended.

There was Stella on Ren’s left shoulder. So Riona in the figure of bird perched on the opposite shoulder.

「The reincarnations of Yatagarasu and Take Mikadzuchi……divine spirits of Japanese mythology are staying in a mythological world like Hyperborea. That’s already an extreme mixup.」

「Onee-sama, it’s fine for us!」

It was a sarcastic comment that was really like Riona.

Yukino sidled up to Ren’s right shoulder──to Riona who was perching up there with sparkling eyes and insisted with a passionate tone.

「We are what you call fated sisters! Don’t you think so!?」

「I don’t, think so though……」

Although their words were similar, Yukino’s words were a question while Riona’s words were denial.

But, the drawing near person didn’t pay attention to that and spoke further with an unchanging passion.

「Onee-sama. In order to regain the order of the multiverse, I hope that both of us can take each other’s hand and support one another together! Please come together with Yukino!」

「Ah──well, I don’t really mind that I guess.」

「Really!? Then let’s the two of us search for all the Godslayers of Anti Fate together and chastise them! First is that nasty Theodorick from before. After that is Kushanagi Godo who already seems like an outrageously malicious being just from the name!」

Yukino didn’t notice at this time.

That Ren and the blue bird Riona were secretly exchanging gaze.

(Goshujin-sama. Let’s accompany the hero’s devil king extermination quest to use this girl as bait and crush the forces of the Campiones with overly vigorous lust for conquest.)

(Roger. After all people like Voban-san or Theo-san, or like the Anti Fate Religion, there are a lot of people who are bad news out there.)

(I also want to do something about my honorable master. It will be bad if I don’t quickly break the curse that is put on me!)

(I also wonder what is Kusanagi-san and Aisha-san doing right now……)

They conversed telepathically as master and retainer.

It was a thought exchange that didn’t use voice or letters. That was why Yukino didn’t even notice and tried to attempt a challenge.

「My ancestor Take Mikadzuchi, the war god and also the very sword that save the world……I ask your great self, become the divine sword of salvation and manifest in my hand.」

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath while concentrating.

After that, her eyes snapped open──and her right hand pulled out the shining divine sword from its sheath that was her left hand!

The blade that was longer than one meter was releasing divine radiance.

Yukino swung around the divine sword of salvation Take Mikadzuchi and laughed innocently.

「I did it, Onee-sama! Look at this!」

「……That’s certainly the divine sword of salvation without a doubt. I-I’m amazed you can pull it out by yourself.」

「I got the feeling that I can do it somehow. I have mostly understood the trick to pull out this sword from doing it together with Onee-sama.」

(Ren. And also you bird girl, let me give you two a warning just in case.)

This time it was Stella who was assimilated with Ren’s body who sent her thought.

Both the small goddess of love and Riona could be said as a part of Ren. Thanks to that spiritual connection it was possible for them to have three way conversation just like Skype meeting.

(The 『trend of anti fate』 that this girl mentioned, it might be true. Today it looks like that trend has weakened slightly after this annoying girl drove back Theodorick.)

(Say Stella. Is that related with her being able to pull out the sword?)

(It’s greatly related. As the result of the anti fate’s weakening, the power that is trying to direct the world’s fate to follow the synopsis──the secret force of fate corrective has been slightly put into operation.)

(!? That force fromt he time when Rokuhara-san reset the end of the world!)

(You mean the force that helped out with my Retributive Justice!)

(This time the corrective force of fate is powering up that annoying girl at every opportunity in the attempt to balance the world──that’s how it feels to me……)

It was a terrifying oracle from a goddess. Riona was also impressed.

(So using her as a bait has a risk──of us growing our very own strongest and greatest enemy. This hero is really troublesome……)

.

Tomorrow morning Mononobe Yukino planned to depart.

Her Onee-sama the blue bird, Toba Riona would naturally accompany her.

However, it would also be a part of Capital the intelligence gathering of the Capital of Pleasure’s government. That was why Riona’s “coworker” Rokuhara Ren and Stella would also come along──.

When she heard that, Yukino looked really displeased, but Riona forced the issue.

「And so, we  are going to be away for a while.」

「Yes……. I will wait for everyone’s return.」

In the queen’s bedroom, on the luxurious bed.

Ren and Cassandra were sleeping together. Ren’s upper body was naked, while the room’s owner the queen was also only wearing underwear.

They were having a pillow talk after enjoying a brief time with only the two of them alone.

「If something happen, I will consult Julio-sama and get through any adversity. Ren-sama, please leave this city to us!」

「Hahaha. Cassandra too has perfectly obtained the dignity of the queen before I know it.」

It was her consideration to Ren so that he could depart without any reserve.

Cassandra asserted reassuringly. Ren smiled and glanced at the room’s wall.

「We also have that fellow if push comes to shove.」

「Yes. Yukino-sama isn’t the only one who has the weapon of salvation as the trump card.」

The queen’s bedroom. There was a long spear hanged up inside it.

At the incident where Ren and others confronted 『the end of the world』. At that time they used the blade of the divine sword of salvation to replace a spearhead and created a spear.

Therefore, this weapon was the divine spear of salvation──.

Currently the mythological world Hyperborea was like a colosseum where gods and godslayers, children of god, heroes and warriors of matchless valor were jumbled together.

The weapon of salvation definitely would play an important role in this war.
