“You mean the source of the infection ……, the human being that Mors is the main body of? If we kill him, will Mors disappear completely?”
Pairon nodded in agreement with my question.
“That’s right. But when you kill it, there is a possibility that it will become a new body and become the source of the infection. So, when he dies, you will need my skill Prison Brand.”
“What about the magic sword Ansalar? I thought it was the main body of the sword, but …… Mors said it was an identity to show his existence.”
“You are not mistaken. Perhaps the one with a thousand bodies must have several carriers.”
“Carriers? You mean spare bodies?”
“Yes. Basically, the One with a Thousand Bodies can only act as one body. It is said that it is also possible to duplicate the consciousness to another, but it seems that the power is dispersed to that extent.”
“Duplication. ……”
Certainly, Mors who was dressed as an old lady and the holy sword that Alta was carrying had been remodeled in such a way.
“When he dies, if Mors himself abandons his body, another carrier will become a new infected person called Mors. The Magic Sword Unsullied is an infection route for the virus to develop.”
It’s like a virtual version of the skill.
Moreover, it’s a cheat-class ……. No, I’m sure that’s what it is.
I nodded to show my understanding.
“So the only way to make sure it disappears is to cut off the source of the infection, which is the main body. So the only way to make sure it disappears is to break the source of the infection, the main body, so that other carriers will never become infected with the virus again?”
“Yes, that’s right! That’s my husband, Seti! Then you can make a baby with me!”
That’s the one thing you never waver huh, Pairon san.
Now is not the time to talk about procreation.
“We also need to destroy the Magic Sword Ansalar just in case. …… So, Pai, where is the main body?”
“I don’t know, ……. The information we just talked about was gathered from the intelligence unit of the Dark Nine Dragons based on the demon cave that was discovered. This information includes the relationship between Seti and the One with a Thousand Bodies.”
“Aggregated information… …… may include speculation.
“But the certainty is great. The intelligence captain is one of the “dragons” and has a highly accurate “memory tracking” skill. As the boss, I can assure you of that.”
“I see, if it is endorsed by the Grace skill, it is very credible. ……With that “dragon” ability, you can find out where the main body of Mors is, right?”
“……Yes. He knows what it looked like back then, but he doesn’t know what it looks like now or where it is. I’m sure he’s hiding somewhere here on the Grand Line continent.”
The information is only about the cave and the past.
The possibility that the source of the infection is still the same as it was at the time of the infection is also unlikely.
In the past 15 years, it must have aged and changed its appearance.
“Um, if you want to find out what he looks like now.~”
Miriel suddenly raised her hand and opened her mouth.
“What’s wrong, Miiri?”
“Yes. You see, Seti …… my grandmother, the spirit queen of the previous generation. She might be able to find out who you are looking for.”
“Really?”
“Yes, she has the same Grace-type skills as I do, and she has the ability to see things before they happen. As long as you know what he looked like and what he looked like at the time, you should be fine. Does Pai have a portrait of the “source of the infection” that shows his face and appearance?”
Miriel asked, and Pairon nodded.
From the cuff of her white long robe, she pulled out a palm-sized crystal ball.
“It is stored here. It’s just the way it was fifteen years ago.”
A man’s figure is projected from the crystal ball.
He is a young man with long black hair tied back.
He is covered in “armor,” a type of armor found in Japan, except for his head.
He looks like a knight, with his eyes slanted up and a sharp look in his eyes.
If I recall correctly, on the continent of Euros, knights are called samurai or musha, and those in higher ranks are called warlords.
Is this the main body of Mors …… the source of infection?
I had heard that he was the one who broke into the sealed demon cave and broke the seal on the Magical Sword Ansalar, so I imagined him to be a more shallow person.
“…But, this knight. Isn’t he somewhat similar in appearance to Seti oniichan?”
Hina came close to me and we compared faces.
In the Grand Line continent, a warrior and a knight were considered the same.
But do they look alike?
The man with the crystal ball is more handsome and sharp than me, who is always said to have an average face.
“Maybe it’s because from the Euros continent? I don’t have such bad eyesight.”
Well, I think I would have similar eyesight if I were in assassin mode.
“I think you’re right. Seti onii chan, you’re so kind, I love you so much!”
Hina showed her white teeth and hugged me.
She is so cute, like a real little sister.
I was so attached to her that I gently stroked her head.
Even if Hina is sweet to me, Karina and the others won’t get jealous.
She is basically my little sister, so there is no need for them to be jealous.
Pai also understands this and pokes Hina’s soft cheeks with her fingertips as she hugs me, murmuring “punyupunyu” as she does so.
It’s hard to believe that she is the boss of the Dark Nine Dragons, who until recently was after Hina’s life.
“But, Miri. That doesn’t mean the source of the infection is exactly what it looked like back then, does it?”
Manisa, who was very bright, asked the same question I had.
“That’s what the foresight skill is for. It might be similar to the ability to foresee the future. It might be able to foresee the current state of things based on the record~”
I see, that sounds promising.
“Then I’ve decided where to go next. Let’s go see Miri’s grandmother!”
“Yes, okay! But Grandma, after she retired as queen, she is living a life of retirement in the remote ‘Ruins of the Ancient Elves’, which is quite far from here. Is it okay”
“Well, we can earn money while we work. It’s not a problem.”
To my reply, Miriel smiles and says, “Yes, I’m looking forward to seeing her for the first time in a while!”
And then..,
“Ah! Is that what you mean?!”
For some reason, Karina started shouting.
“What’s wrong, Karina?”
“No, no, Seti-dono ……, I mean, you know… If Miri’s grandmother has the skill of foresight, …… she could help us to see the future of our marriage, or rather our married life, so that we can enjoy a better marriage, or rather our married life. ……umm~…”
Haa?
I thought you’ve been quiet for a long time, what are you saying at a time like this?
“Well, to put it bluntly, it feels more like a fortune teller,……. For me, the less I know about the future, the more I can look forward to the future, and the more I can do my best to make everyone happy.”
“Seti-dono,……, you’re right. I’m sorry, what I did was wrong.”
Karina lowered the corners of her eyes and blushed.
Although she is usually a dignified princess knight, she seems to have a demeanor that is rarely seen.
“I have the same opinion as Seti-san. What we do on a daily basis leads to the future, isn’t it, Seti-san?”
“That’s what I think, Fiala.”
“As a magician, I find it interesting, but I am happy that you are thinking of a future with us, Seti kun.”
“Thank you, Manisa.”
“Hehehe, Seti. We’ll all be together from now on~”
“Yes, Miiri.”
“Seti, don’t forget your promise to me. When you kill Mors, you will come with me to the continent of Euros. We can get married there together, or we can try to have a baby together!”
Hey, Pairon!
What are you doing in front of Hina? …… Don’t say make a baby in front of her!
It’s too early for that!
“It’s so much more fun with you and onee chans!”
Hina is delighted with the lively flow of the event, not knowing what it means.
I wonder …… well, that’s okay.
The situation is not bad.
I’m looking forward to the future.
With these girls, we should be able to overcome any hardship.
“Okay! Then we’ll start tomorrow!”
Thus, I welcomed my new wife ……, or rather, my companion, and we decided on our destination.
