Chapter 416 - Kirikiri (4)

Chapter 36 Kirikiri (4)

Seeing Kirikiri smiling and proudly showing off a golden sword, the high seeker had to be a bit perplexed.

So many surprises in such a short amount of time.

He was also amazed at her ability to suddenly disappear, but the sword in Kirikiri’s hand was even more amazing.

He became the king of a country, and had many opportunities to explore all kinds of rare and mysterious treasures.

In the palace warehouse from which he left, numerous treasures that were still in his possession were piled up like a mountain.

But this golden sword that Kirikiri is holding.

[Kyaaak! Get it away!]

As the golden sword was pushed closer to him, the sword tied to the high seeker’s waist was repulsed by it.

The High seeker felt the same way.

He wanted to tell Kirikiri, showing off her golden sword, to please put it away.

It was a strange feeling.

It’s not even a cursed magic sword.

[This is not a curse! That’s…….]

The sword said as if screaming.

The high seeker could also guess the history of that sword.

That’s probably

‘The Source.’

The power to bring miracles to the world.

The most powerful and greatest particle.

Magical power.

The high seeker had a considerable amount of magical power.

In terms of the amount of his magical power, he may be the best on the continent.

At least, among humans that is.

The high seeker’s magical power was being pushed out as the sword pushed in.

It was pushed out and his magic was leaking out of his body.

His magical power, which had gone out of his body outside his will, lost control and was scattered in the air.

It was a permanent loss of magical power.

“It’s pretty!”

[Kyaaaak! I’m dying, you bunny!]

it seems that the golden sword was worse for the ego sword than the high seeker.

He screamed like he was going to die.

The high seeker hastily asked her to put her knife away.

Kirikiri rolled her eyes and put her sword in her bag.

“Sorry.”

“No. It’s a really great treasure sword…”

A sword shining with beautiful gold.

However, the fact that it was gilded did not even feel worth it.

It’s a metal that pushes out magical power just by being there.

Who would dare wield such a weapon?

[That rabbit is wielding it, you idiot…….]

Yes, only that rabbit can wield it.

Only that rabbit without a handful of magical power.

The high seeker thought that Kirikiri would be weak.

There was no magic in her body.

Even an ordinary farmer who has been farming all his life has a small amount of magical power.

The magic of nature naturally pools in the body.

Even those who have not accumulated magic through training have a very small amount of magic.

But that rabbit didn’t even have a handful of magical powers.

Naturally, a person without magical power cannot use magic of course.

So it’s natural that the rabbit without magical powers looked weak.

But instead of having no magical powers, she was able to wield a truly ridiculous weapon.

The high seeker advised that as much as possible, the golden sword should not be drawn out in front of others, as was the case with the magical crystal.

Kirikiri nodded her head eagerly.

[Dedicate it.]

Suddenly he heard a voice.

The high seeker didn’t care.

As usual, he only thought the sword was speaking.

But the voice was different.

[Dedicate it to me.]

‘Oh, dear.’

The high seeker was silent for a moment.

Truly, the voice of God he hasn’t heard in a long time.

‘God of light.’

[My paladin, dedicate it to me.]

The voice was pointing to the golden sword that Kirikiri had just put in her bag.

The high seeker felt uncomfortable.

[Burn that sword and offer it to me.]

‘It’s not possible.”

He abruptly refused.

The high seeker somehow felt guilty.

He may be guilty.

He dared to refuse what God wanted.

‘God, it’s impossible. It’s not even my thing. You cannot take other people’s things and offer them to the gods. That’s not right.’

People would have argued that he was crazy if anyone else saw him, but the high seeker was unstoppable.

[It’s okay, that is right.]

‘No, it’s not right.’

[My words are absolute. My will is the rule of the world, and my words are the law of the world. Follow me, my paladin.]

The high seeker shook his head.

God was particularly insistent today.

‘There’s no such thing as that. What is not right, is not right.’

God was silent.

Did you finally give up?

It was when the high seeker was thinking so.

[Just once! Just once!]

What do you mean only once?

Are you asking me to do the wrong thing just once?

For yourself, God of Light?

If you are a paladin who can’t help but love God, it’s a request you’ll have to accept.

‘It’s not possible.”

[You are really too much!]

At the sudden word of the God, the high seeker wrapped his arms around his head.

He felt astrong headache that felt like his brain was exploding.

[I will punish you!]

The God of Light put a tantrum.

The High Seeker felt like he wanted to sigh.

Of course, his sigh in this situation was a grave blasphemy, so he had to endure it.

‘If you punish me, I will die.”

The high seeker said quietly.

It really was true.

No matter how superhuman the high seeker was, he could not afford to survive the wrath of the god.

‘Are you all right with that?’

The God of Light was silent.

The high seeker knew his own worth.

He knew all too well how much the God of Light loved him.

It was natural

Every time he practiced the sword of light, he was excited to hear the voice of The God of Light chirping and chattering, and he could easily notice how much the god liked him.

[That’s not allowed.]

The God of Light said sullenly.

The high seeker thought he was lucky.

God’s punishment was terrible.

It was enough to inflict more pain and despair than death without having to kill anyone.

However, the punishment of this God of Light he worshiped was simple and powerful, but not insidious.

Probably, it would be about as much as a huge thunderbolt fell when the punishment was given.

Of course, being struck by lightning will kill the high seeker, but that’s not what the God of Light wants.

[Disappointed.]

The God of Light, who confided his own feelings, disconnected from him.

Then the high seeker sighed.

Conversations with gods were always burdensome.

[I think it was a really good choice for you not to be baptized every time like this.]

The sword said teasingly.

It was mean.

* * *

A brief commotion passed, and the journey continued again.

Kirikiri still looked bright.

Her appearance came as a bit of a shock to the high seeker.

He knew a lot of children who had a sudden accident after spending their whole life in a peaceful village.

She had only been looking at places like that in the first place, so it must have been natural.

The thieves she met suddenly.

The ensuing battle.

There were no casualties, but it was a battle that was obviously bloody and noisy with screams.

Kirikiri, who had driven out the thieves, did not seem to have any appreciation for the thieves and battles.

Rather, she seemed relieved and in a good mood.

[It’s a rabbit.]

Could the lack of fear of blood and killing be explained by being a rabbit?

The high seeker was questioning it.

[Their race is basically a demigod. It’s not like the innkeeper was making a fuss for nothing. It would be better not to treat her like a child just because she looks like a child.]

The Sword pretended to know again.

The High Seeker then asked if he was aware of the ability used when Kirikiri suddenly disappeared earlier.

[I know of it.]

‘Is that so?’

[Sure. One of rabbits’ two most famous abilities is crossing dimensions. The reason I went to the rabbits in the first place was that my colleague, a summoner, wanted to learn dimension magic from the rabbits, and her ability from earlier is probably the half-dimension.]

There were signs that the old story of the sword had begun.

The High Seeker was not interested in the Summoner’s story, so he asked The Sword to explain the abilities of the rabbits in detail.

The sword was a little uncomfortable, but he explained it well.

[As the rabbits explained, there is a small gap between the dimensions. The gap between that dimension is called a half-dimension. It’s not a dimension divided by perfect boundaries, and it’s not even the same dimension.]

Hearing the sword’s explanation, the high seeker could understand a little.

He was told that the Fairy Queen of the Lake of Silence had similar abilities.

[Probably the same ability.]

It was an embarrassing remark.

Each member of the race has the power of being a fairy queen.

[So she is also treated as a fantasy existence in a fairy tale.]

The sword said sternly.

[The one at the entrance to the village is also a dimensional barrier.]

What the sword was talking about was the stairs leading up to the plateau where the rabbits lived.

The high seeker went up and down the stairs for nearly a week, and eventually gave up and came down.

‘Is that a dimensional barrier … ?’

[Hmm.]

The sword answered so clearly.

‘Why didn’t you tell me earlier?’

Thanks to him, the High Seeker had a week of hard work.

[I told you. You can’t go up with your ability.]

‘No…….’

The high seeker didn’t understand.

He would have given up sooner if the sword had said, ‘you can’t climb on your own because there is a dimensional barrier’ instead of ‘you just can’t go up!’

Instead of going through it for a week.

[What do you mean by saying this? Are you upset, you narrow-minded boy?]

‘I don’t want to be upset. And narrow-mindedness is your nasty sign.”

[Little boy, that’s ugly. If you’re old, be somewhat like your age!]

The sword was sharp.

‘You are three times older than me.’

The high seeker did not lose.

The Human and the sword approaching the ages of one hundred and three hundred, respectively, began to fight childishly.

* * *

A day passed.

The two of them had to camp because they couldn’t get to the village before nightfall due to some commotion.

Kirikiri’s huge bag also contained a prefabricated tent.

The two were able to sleep comfortably

The problem was the next morning.

Apparently she slept peacefully until last night, but Kirikiri woke up in the morning and started to be wary of the high seeker again.

The high seeker was perplexed.

Fortunately, Kirikiri’s mood quickly dissipated.

It was because of the hive that the high seeker had brought.

A simple biscuit coated with honey to eat, Kirikiri was happy.

The high seeker could immediately see that Kirikiri’s vigilance was quickly dispelled.

‘Is this because it’s a rabbit?’

It’s a rabbit

For a simple reason, many questions have been answered with that answer.

The sword solved the high seeker’s doubts.

[Other rabbits are worse. They have no boundaries at all.]

He told the High Seeker some anecdotes about the black rabbits.

It seemed like it could be possible.

It is said that rabbits are good and innocent, and always lead a peaceful and quiet life.

In addition, their ability is so great that there is no need to worry about external threats.

Where in the world could an enemy invade them beyond their dimensional stairs?

Naturally, their vigilance will disappear.

[That kid named Kirikiri is particularly wary. For a rabbit]

The high seeker gradually developed an understanding of Kirikiri and the rabbit race.

Every morning when she woke up, even though Kirikiri showed a vigilant figure, she waited for him without being surprised.

After a few days, Kirikiri went to sleep and woke up, but she was no longer wary of the high seeker.

The two became steadily closer over time.

It made the conversation easier.

The High Seeker sometimes wondered if he would have a granddaughter of her age if he had settled down and started a family.

The trip was enjoyable.

Contrary to what the sword had warned of bad luck, a peaceful, monotonous, and even enjoyable journey continued.

So the two arrived in the human city.
