We’re moving through an area that’s usually impassable while leading horses.
If you clear the way with magic, you won’t have to take a detour.
Although in that case, it will be easier for the enemy to track us.
However, if we’re fighting against demons on the way, we will leave a trail no matter what.
Well I guess we don’t need to care about it too much.
Along the way, we rested many times.
Because Ariel complained that her feet were sore repeatedly.
It’s because she is not familiar with walking through the forest.
Fortunately, Ariel did not voice any complaints aside from that.
Sylphy repeatedly applied healing magic to Ariel’s feet, and waited for her to catch her breath.
"......"
There is no conversation in particular.
Concerning the Apostles of Hitogami.
What made them apostles is the advice given by Hitogami.
Luke, Apostle of Hitogami.
He has gotten some advice.
No doubt about it.
But it is unclear when he received it, or what the advice was about.
Looking at my example, Hitogami did not give me advice often.
He came out frequently on occasion, but on average he comes about once a year.
If Luke’s situation is similar, he would’ve received advice maybe once or twice.
Most likely, Luke received advice just before he came to my place.
It’s to make me an ally for Ariel.
Right.
That advice is directly linked to Luke’s action.
But after this attack, I feel that it is a little different.
Perhaps, Luke received advice about the Notus house.
And now, he has been treating me awfully.
Like before, he is giving me a threatening attitude accusing me as the culprit.
For example, 『 I’m trying to take over the Notus house. 』 or ...?
No. Stupid.
If you just think about it a little, you'll know that I don’t want that.
If I’m really interested in that, I wouldn’t live in the Magic City Sharia and I would’ve been more aggressive towards Ariel.
People value things differently.
If you value something, you tend to assume it's coveted.
And if you’re told that someone’s aiming for the same thing, you’re prone to believe it.
If you’re Luke what would you want the most, perhaps he wants to become the Head of the Notus house.
Although I don’t know for sure.
This time, Philemon betrayed Ariel.
This might or might not be due to the advice of Hitogami.
The diary didn’t say anything about this...
No, Eris was at Philemon’s mansion in that world’s diary.
Eris in Boreas, Boreas belonged to the first prince’s faction.
If you think about it, even without Hitogami’s intervention, Philemon would have most likely betrayed us.
So Philemon isn’t an apostle after all.
Given his influence and ability, Darius is still the most likely candidate.
That's right, Darius.
Another apostle.
Senior Minister Darius Silva Ganius.
I wonder what kind of advice he received.
