2019.3.16 Character Correction
①Even with the knowledge I had, calling myself a sage in my previous life, I couldn’t read this… My pride was secretly wounded. →…even with…
(Either “以て” or “以って” is acceptable, but the former seems more common. In classical Chinese readings, it becomes “以て” or “以つて”, and contracted sounds like “っ” are represented by the regular “つ”.)
2019.3.16 New Character (Simplified Kanji) “祷” → Correction to Old Character “禱”
① “It feels like some kind of prayer hall.” → “It feels like some kind of 祈禱 (kitō) hall…”
② In the back of the room, a canopy covered with layers of cloth, obscuring the inside, was set up. In front of it, there was a heavy but historic-feeling desk with ritual implements for prayer, and a place for offering prayers was established. → “…for 祈禱 (kitō) …”
③ When Elise knelt at the prayer place and offered her prayers, her magical power was transferred to the “Saint Staff of Dawn Gloom.” → “…Elise knelt at the 祈禱 (kitō) place…”
A miasma of the same nature as the unholy magic that the Demonkin emit is leaking from the innermost room, found in the deepest part of the underground dungeon of Portland Castle.
The concentration is weak, so it’s not enough to adversely affect the members of “Princess Harem,” but what kind of secret was the Portland Royal Family hiding?
And who exactly is Ensherry Portra, whose voice echoed in my head when I was transferred from the catacombs to the underground dungeon?
I think she’s probably anblood relative of Elise, but… I feel like I’ve heard that name somewhere before.
Also, I’m curious about the true identity of the woman who seemed to be the goddess I spoke to.
To think that the recovery of a magic staff would hold so many mysteries, even though this kingdom, Portland, is merely a small country, despite its long history as a royal house.
“It feels like some kind of prayer hall.”
“I think so too… I believe this is a very old form of a divine resting place?”
“Could the magic staff be inside this canopy?”
“…”
Liliana spoke first as she surveyed the room, and I agreed. Kirika, who is knowledgeable about religious matters, quickly chimed in.
Meanwhile, Elise’s main concern seemed to be the location of the magic staff, and Mai, standing next to her, stared at the canopy in silence.
The room inside the door was a small chamber surrounded by smooth polished stone, which could easily be mistaken for a room within the castle.
Magic lamps illuminated the interior, casting a bright light on the stone walls.
In the back of the room, a canopy covered with layers of cloth, obscuring the inside, was set up. In front of it, there was a heavy but historic-feeling desk with ritual implements for prayer, and a place for offering prayers was established.
An ancient parchment lay on the desk, but it was tattered with missing pieces and faded text, written in a very ancient divine script that, unfortunately, I couldn’t decipher.
Even with the knowledge I had, calling myself a sage in my previous life, I couldn’t read this… My pride was secretly wounded.
“Hal-sama, what are you looking at—Unfortunately, I can’t read it either.”
“Please show it to me too.”
Just when it seemed like Kirika was at a loss and couldn’t read the text on the parchment, Liliana approached.
“This parchment seems to be the lineage of the person enshrined within this canopy.”
“Can Liliana read it?”
“I can somehow decipher it, though only fragments—”
Liliana, due to her admiration for heroes, had been studying ancient heroic deeds from old documents.
According to Liliana’s decipherment, the remains of the Ensherry Portra in question were enshrined within the canopy, and something was sealed there.
Incidentally, according to Elise, Ensherry Portra was the first queen who founded the Kingdom of Portland.
“Then, shall we examine the inside of the canopy? First, Elise, as the sole survivor and rightful heir of the Portland Royal Family, you should confirm it.”
“Hal-sama, I appreciate your consideration.”
At my decision, Elise approached the canopy, lifted the cloth covering it, and tied it with a cord hanging from the canopy’s pillar.
Inside the canopy, just as Liliana had interpreted, a coffin containing Ensherry Portra’s body seemed to be enshrined.
“N-no way?! What is this…”
As the inside of the canopy was illuminated by light, Elise stopped, aghast.
“W-what is this!?”
Swan Hilda, who approached next, let out a strange cry. When we hurried over and peered inside the canopy, we were struck speechless.
Inside the canopy, a magnificent altar was set up, and on it rested a coffin, but the coffin itself was made of a transparent, mysterious substance.
Moreover, inside the coffin, a silver-haired beautiful girl who resembled Elise in appearance was laid as if sleeping. On her chest lay a magic staff radiating an indescribable, sacred aura, and the girl’s hands were firmly clasped around it.
Furthermore, the flowers decorating the vicinity of the body were vibrantly colored, even in full bloom.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that this coffin embodied a divine miracle.
Upon closer inspection, a new parchment was placed beside the coffin.
When Liliana deciphered it, she confirmed that the beautiful girl in the coffin was indeed Ensherry Portra.
According to the text, Ensherry Portra was a high-ranking goddess, named Dentemetina, the Great Mother Earth, in her youth. She was bestowed the divine artifact “Saint Staff of Dawn Gloom,” achieved great deeds as an ancient hero, and then founded the Kingdom of Portland.
Queen Ensherry had children and died of old age, but at that time, she received another revelation from Dentemetina, and a transparent coffin appeared at the sickbed of the dying Queen Ensherry.
It was written that she was buried according to the goddess’s revelation.
Incidentally, her current attire was apparently her favorite dress from her youth.
The aging Queen Ensherry’s body was clothed in the dress, the divine artifact was placed in her hand, the surroundings were decorated with flowers, and when the lid of the coffin was closed, her appearance reverted to that of her youth as if time had rewound.
Furthermore, the burial site was also created by the goddess’s power overnight, with the space below the catacombs being newly formed.
Thus, Queen Ensherry’s remains have served as a divine yoke protecting the peace of the Human Race to this day.
Regarding what was sealed, there were no specific descriptions, only the words “Great Calamity” were written.
Upon closer inspection, the surface of the parchment in that area had been scraped off, suggesting it was rewritten later.
And, according to Liliana’s knowledge, due to a thorough book burning in the past, what the ancient heroes fought against has been lost to history.
My intuition tells me that what is sealed here is more evil than the Demonkin.
Furthermore, from my perspective, the divine yoke, or rather the seal, using the body of Queen Ensherry is still active.
And it seemed that the descendants of the Portland Royal Family were responsible for periodically replenishing the magic power of the “Saint Staff of Dawn Gloom.”
At that moment, it became clear that Elise’s unique constitution of accumulating magic power within her body was for this very purpose.
In other words, Elise was also a “Sealed Priestess Princess.”
“Elise, unfortunately, we cannot take this divine artifact called the ‘Saint Staff of Dawn Gloom’ with us.”
“Wh-why? While I feel reluctant to remove it from the First Queen’s remains, wouldn’t she be happy if it were used?”
“This seal is active. If you break it, terrible things will happen.”
“N-no… we came all this way!”
“Elise, you have a duty to kneel here and provide magical power to reinforce this seal.”
“…I understand. If this is the duty of a Portland royal family member…”
When Elise knelt at the prayer place and offered her prayers, her magical power was transferred to the “Saint Staff of Dawn Gloom.”
And when the ritual ended, Elise lost consciousness and collapsed.
“Hang in there, Elise!!”
I held the collapsed Elise and checked her condition. Her breathing was slightly shallow, but she seemed to have only lost consciousness.
A pathway had been established between Elise and the “Saint Staff of Dawn Gloom,” allowing for magic power supply even from a distance in the future.
Because tapping her cheeks—tap tap—didn’t wake her, I made her smell a smelling salt from my jacket pocket, and she immediately woke up.
“Elise, do you recognize me?”
“Ah, Hal-sama… What happened to me!? I think I lost consciousness while praying…”
I was relieved when Elise woke up.
“I am so deeply moved!! To witness a miracle related to an ancient hero with my own eyes!”
“I am also speechless.”
“Elise, you were carrying a very heavy responsibility.”
Liliana, the hero enthusiast, was deeply moved by the events, Kirika stood with her mouth agape in surprise, and Swan Hilda, a Lower God Clan member, looked at Elise with sympathy.
“…Elise… This is serious!”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m SO sorry…”
“Elise, you need to diet for the sake of your health.”
Shifting my gaze, I saw Mai looking at Elise with concern, and Shera shrinking back apologetically.
Freya then twitched the temple of her glasses—twitch—and smiled meaningfully.
We couldn’t take the magic staff Elise desired, or rather, the divine artifact “Saint Staff of Dawn Gloom,” but we learned some interesting things, so I’ll consider it a success.
“…Yes, Hal-sama. I’ll give up on the divine artifact. It seems to be too much for me to handle.”
“Then, shall we retreat!”
” ” ” ” ” ” ” “Yes, Hal-sama!” ” ” ” ” ” ”
“Hal-sama… I feel weak in my legs?”
“Elise, you worked hard today. Shall I cast ‘Healing Magic’ on you? Or would you prefer to be carried on my back? Choose whichever you like.”
“…Then, please carry me on your back.”
On the way back from the underground dungeon, I carried Elise on my back.
A faint sweet fragrance wafted from Elise as she clung to me, and it was a blissful moment, with her incredibly soft, abundant breasts pressed against my back.
Elise’s magic reservoir, which was stored in her body, had disappeared, and she was now a normal girl.
Tonight, I could probably hold her gently.
“Elise, how are you feeling?”
“Yes, I feel much better. I think I’ll probably recover if I sleep for one night.”
Elise replied to my question, then relaxed her body and leaned against me.
“I am truly envious of Elise today.”
Freya approached me, standing beside me, and cast an envious glance at Elise.
“Perhaps Freya wants to be carried on my back too?”
“No, I don’t want to be carried, but seeing Elise so happy being carried by Hal-sama makes my chest ache inexplicably—throb, throb. Actually, my hypersensitivity erogenous zone has improved considerably recently. Perhaps being rocked by the carriage all day has made me accustomed to stimulation. I think I could handle being ordered to perform night duty by Hal-sama now…”
Freya gave me a meaningful look and whispered about her physical condition as if confiding a secret.
The recovery of the magic staff for Elise, which was the main objective of this trip, was unsuccessful, so I want to give Elise a suitable magic staff.
Next, our destination is Freya’s homeland, the Old Kingdom of Vandis.
Before we arrive, I want to take Freya’s virginity.
But before that, I can’t miss the chance to gently caress Elise.
I also want to be with Swan Hilda, but there’s no opportunity right now.
Tonight’s night duty, I’ll order Elise to do it.
Thank you for reading.
