Chapter 444: Kusanagi Godou = Idiot = Erica
How can I go home?
To the average person, this would definitely be a confusing and baffling question.
After all, even someone like Kusanagi Godou, who doesn't speak the language, only took a little time to come to Italy and meet the witch.
If he knew the way home, he shouldn't be unable to return... …
But in reality, Zunzun is asking for the way home, or more precisely, how to embark on that road home.
"Eh, if you put it that way... …"
Kusanagi Godou stared at him with wide eyes.
"The other world Zunzun is talking about, isn't that a lie!?"
"Why are you so surprised? Didn't I say it before? I'm from another world. I've never lied to you about that."
"No… … this… … that… …"
"It's best to understand it as a game. Fantasy-style other worlds are not non-existent. The games that appear in this world are made by imitating other worlds... … How about it, can you accept it now?"
No, no, no, isn't that the problem!?
Right now, Kusanagi Godou has only just come into contact with existences like gods and magicians. Normally, other worlds should be something that appears later, or at the very end.
Throwing out such an exaggerated setting at the beginning is a big taboo in anime or novels!
Or is it… …
Am I the only one who finds it strange?
Kusanagi Godou secretly looked at Erica, and found that she was also looking at Zunzun in astonishment, and then breathed a sigh of relief with some peace of mind.
He doesn't know why he has such thoughts, but if the person who calls himself a Great Knight and knows everything about gods and magicians is also like this, doesn't it mean that there is no difference between them?
Kusanagi Godou = Idiot = Erica!
Equation established!
After hearing Zunzun's request, Lucrezia fell into deep thought. She thought for a long time, just as everyone was wondering if she had fallen asleep, the witch shook her head helplessly.
"I'm sorry, other than the Netherworld, I can't think of any other way."
"As expected."
Zunzun was not excited or disappointed.
His expression was calm, as if he had known this would be the result.
"Netherworld! ?" Erica frowned her beautiful eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "That's impossible. Except for the dead who can enter, anyone who goes in will lose their way, and if they are not careful, they will die and never be able to escape from there."
"Eh? Eh?"
Hearing the new term, Kusanagi Godou didn't know where it was, but it seemed to be a very dangerous place.
"If it really comes to that, I have to try it." Zunzun scratched his head and continued to ask: "Speaking of which, how about I ask Mrs. Aisha for help?"
"Mrs. Aisha! ?" X2
"Wh-what? What's wrong with Mrs. Aisha?"
Lucrezia and Erica both had troubled expressions, which made Kusanagi Godou have a very bad feeling about this name. Speaking of which, he, an ordinary person, couldn't get involved in the topic from the beginning, which made people feel very angry.
As if to explain to Kusanagi Godou, Lucrezia said very considerately: "Although Mrs. Aisha has the ability of relevant types, the timing of her appearance is uncertain, and... …"
"She often causes a lot of trouble. Actually, some time ago it was... …"
Erica's expression was ugly.
It seems that Mrs. Aisha is a walking mobile source of trouble.
— — Fairy Corridor
This is one of the abilities held by Mrs. Aisha. The effect is to open the Netherworld or the world of the past, but it cannot go to the world of the future.
Zunzun plans to go to the world of the past — — that is, when he first came to this world, and go back while the passage has not disappeared.
Even if it doesn't work, he can ask the other party to help open the passage to the Netherworld.
Moreover, Mrs. Aisha is one of the easiest to talk to among the many God Slayers. If he asks her for help, she should help with this small favor.
The problem is that he can't find her whereabouts.
"But it's really thanks to you that you know Mrs. Aisha's name, even though you are from another world." Erica stared at Zunzun with hawk-like sharp eyes, "Why do you know her? Can you explain it?"
"Because I am a fortuneteller."
"What?"
"Like Miss Lucrezia, who has spiritual vision, I can also see some of the future."
After saying that, Zunzun's eyes glowed slightly.
Spiritual vision is the ability to see some information about the gods and things in the distant future, but only excellent mediums — — witches or magicians, can use this ability, which is very rare and precious.
Of course, Zunzun doesn't have this ability, but the slightly glowing red eyes can disguise it.
"No wonder... …"
"Spiritual, spiritual vision? What is that?"
"So that's how it is."
Except for Kusanagi Godou, who didn't know what was going on, the other two recognized this statement, after all, spiritual vision can really do a lot of things that people know.
"Then in that case, you also know that you are being targeted by the gods?"
"… … What?"
"Huh? Don't you know?"
Lucrezia had a puzzled expression, as if asking 'Why don't you know such a simple thing', but Zunzun couldn't remember being targeted by a god... …
"Is that it."
"Yes, that's right."
Zunzun and Erica nodded one after another.
Now it was Lucrezia's turn to feel confused, and Zunzun told her that he had fought against a rebellious god... … To be precise, a part of the boy, in a contest of luck.
"Then… … what was the result?"
"5 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses, a narrow victory."
— — — —! ?"
The witch widened her eyes slightly. She looked at Erica and got the other party to nod slightly in acknowledgment of this matter. After hesitating for a long time, she reluctantly handed the stone tablet in her hand to Zunzun.
"What is this?"
"I want to gamble."
Zunzun didn't take it, but just asked her with his eyes why she did this. The witch bit her lip and said: "Originally, I wanted to wait until Lord Salvatore arrived before handing this stone tablet to him, so that he could make effective use of it — — That was my initial plan."
"Then… …"
"Didn't I say it before, I want to bet on you."
The beauty gave him a wink.
If it was an ordinary young man, he would be completely defeated by this one look. As for Zunzun... … In fact, he is not as calm as he appears on the surface.
"In other words, you want me to defeat a god?"
"… … That's right. I want to bet on you, who is regarded as an opponent by the rebellious gods. See if you can really bring me good luck."
Luck is greater than effort.
Although it sounds a bit hurtful, but in the case of limited strength... … Even the most high-ranking great magician can't do anything about the rebellious gods, so they can only pin their hopes on ethereal luck.
That's right.
It is impossible to do it without a miracle of the kind where the son of a slave is born in a stable and eventually becomes the savior.
"— — Okay, I will live up to your expectations!"
Zunzun grabbed the stone tablet.
He was not the kind of person who was shy, and this stone tablet could also increase the chances of winning against the rebellious gods, so naturally he would not give up.
"W-wait a minute!"
Kusanagi Godou shouted out in disbelief. He hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Zunzun, are you really going to do this?"
"What, Godou, are you reluctant to part with the stone tablet? It's okay to give it to you."
"That's not what I meant! I mean, are you really going to fight against gods, divine beasts, and stuff like that!? That's a very dangerous thing, you must not mess around!"
His eyes were filled with worry.
He was really worried that Zunzun would go and fight the rebellious gods. Although Kusanagi Godou had never seen the rebellious gods, he had seen the huge wild boar wreaking havoc in the port, so he knew that it was definitely not something that ordinary people could deal with.
"But unfortunately, Godou."
"Even if Zunzun doesn't agree, it won't work, because he has already been marked by the gods."
"… … Eh?"
Just like marking one's favorite items, Zunzun has been regarded as a formidable enemy since his narrow victory over the boy, in other words... …
"Even if I escape from this island now, the rebellious gods will come to me for a duel."
"How could it be... …"
Kusanagi Godou opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
If it were an ordinary person, this sentence would be tantamount to being sentenced to death.
"Why are you like this?"
Zunzun patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Didn't you ever hear a saying, Godou, that when you encounter a bear, don't run away, but resolutely rush up and punch it, because that way you will die with more dignity. Of course, I'm just kidding, actually I have a chance of winning... …"
"I want to help too!"
"… … Why?"
"Do you even need to ask? Because we are friends!"
Friends?
This sentence made Zunzun unable to react for a while. As expected of someone who can easily become friends with others due to his personality.
"This is very similar to Ichiro."
"H-how could that be, Miss Lucrezia is joking."
Kusanagi Godou scratched his head awkwardly.
Erica snorted coldly, "It's just a bit overestimating yourself."
"Can you shut your mouth?"
He rolled his eyes again.
"Then… …" Lucrezia said with a smile: "It's my turn to tell you about the gods."
Then the three of them learned about the two rebellious gods who were causing a stir on Sardinia.
One is the God King Baal.
"The other one's true identity is unknown, but it should be a sword god from Persia or India, because there are vultures and eagles in the clones... …"
"It's Veleslana."
"Hmm, to think it would be him... … Indeed, wild boar, camel, sheep, cow... … If you add the divine sword and the boy... … It is indeed closely related to the legendary Eastern War God Veleslana. Zunzun, your spiritual vision is excellent."
"I guess so."
It was just knowing the answer in advance, so Zunzun was not complacent after being praised. Then they began to design how to defeat the god or drive away the god in this contest.
With Zunzun being targeted, there is a high probability that he will fight Veleslana, and the other god — — God King Baal, can only be handed over to Kusanagi Godou.
"Suddenly having to fight the God King... …"
"This is the price of being a hero."
"Please say that I am stabbing my friends in the back."
Kusanagi Godou had a forced bitter smile on his somewhat pale face. He seemed to have been a little too reckless this time.
