February 23, 380 calendar of the Human World.Cold rain falls before dawn through the Cathedral window on the 50th floor called the Great Spiritual Light Corridor.’
In this hall which was a large corridor, there was a staircase leading to a balcony circling the high wall.Ronye and Tieze rode up and saw the execution of the meeting from above with their two eyes.
Why on the balcony, not on the round table?—that's because of the Berchie that Fanatio entrusted
they were very excited to be taken to a high place. Surely the 50th floor itself was over 200 mels away from the surface, separated by tall walls and glass, so it seemed that the one-year-old boy would not be able to reach his height.
“Hey Ronye, you've seen baby Scheta the same in Obsidia right?”
Tieze whispered as he swung softly past the sleeping Berchie.
“Yes, I also gave her milk.”
“I hope I'm there, he must be 3 months old huh? Is she cute?”
“More than that, she has curly hair, her eyes are also very beautiful.”
Hearing Ronye's words, Tieze immediately imagined it.
“Yes, Berchie is also cute when sleeping, but men and women are different. I wish
Scheta-sama can bring her here sometime.”.
Ronye may want to deny it, but he immediately swallowed his words.Ronye did not tell his best friend about Lisetta, about Lisetta, princess Scheta and Issukan were kidnapped for more than half a day.It was because Kirito reminded her not to tell anyone until the day of the meeting,but the uncomfortable feeling that he was hiding a secret like this only kept making a thought for some time
to day.
I can understand why the kidnapper was after Lisetta. If the goal was Kirito senpai, then just by kidnapping Lisetta it would not work.If it was Vice Prime Swordsman Asuna, but I am not sure anyone could kidnap her existence so far in the Underworld.In other words, it is not possible to, it's still a mystery.
They stormed the top floor of the heavily guarded Obsidia castle and its location was also over 500 mel (although not as high as the Cathedral), however, after kidnapping Lisetta, the floor
50 can not be opened—but they can open the 50th floor window whose door can not be opened, the hidden place of the throne.After being overcome thanks to Kirito, Ronye immediately slashed the left hand of the enemy who jumped into the window, and the, but then his body was not found.
Ronye also saw clearly the red-colored gem that was on the enemy's chest as the 50th floor window opened. Commander Issukan who heard that said that the stone was similar to the one in the crown of the Dark Territory Vector Leader who died in the Foreign World War.
Issukan also assumed that the kidnappers were from a group of assassins, but the group seems to have disappeared. In addition, the ‘minion’ artificial being used in the kidnapper to fight the guards in the castle can also only be created by the dark art group whose abilities are currently weakened.
What happened in the Dark Territory.and the Human World?
Who are they and what is their purpose?
“—that's what happened in the castle Obsidia.”
Suddenly Ronye heard Kirito's voice coming from the meeting hall to make him think about it again.And beside him, Tieze was surprised.
“Eh...so you were also involved in the incident?”
It seemed as if Kirito had explained everything as Ronye thought in his head.He glanced at his best friend's face and nodded, then muttered.
“Uh well..but.it is not too dangerous kok.”.
“That danger knows, you attacked the man who kidnapped his baby with the sword! That sounds dangerous..there is danger of making the coach angry..”.
“If you say so, it means..”.
As Ronye shook his head, the meeting in the hall resumed.
“I will not comment on what happened, but Prime-Swordsman-dono, I have said the same before! All jobs have the right people!”
The owner of that heavy and sharp voice was Integrity Knight Dusolbert Synthesis-Seven. This morning instead of using armor, he wore an eastern-style kimono, although his style of nagging remained unchanged.
“Obsidia Castle also has many warriors, just leave it to them!"
"Prime Swordsman is an important key not only for the Human World, but the entire Underworld region! If anything happens to you, imagine what will happen to these 2 worlds!”
As Dusolbert closed his mouth, Fanatio Synthesis-Two, the second generation of the knight leader, said in a serious tone.
Swordsman draws a sword and fights with the enemy alone it is over.”
Hearing that as well, Renri Synthesis-Twenty Seven who was also present, as well as all the heads of the Cathedral section nodded simultaneously. The Prime Swordsman dressed in black clothes, who was the center of attention at this meeting rather than the previous topic. However his face remained calm and tried to reply to him from the north side of the round table, with a calm tone as well.
“I understand you will say so...but you did not forget, knight before, Bercoulli who willingly flew through the mountains and fought with the forces of darkness? Although my position is as a Prime-Swordsman, I can't just gain trust and sit in a safe place just like that.”
–What he said is true, but I feel like an apology when I hear it from Kirito-senpai.Think Ronye who stood on the balcony—
“The position of Mr. Bercoulli and your position as Prime Swordsman is different!”
The sharp voice in the meeting hall almost echoed.
The one who said it was a knight who was not present in the previous meeting. His armor was light green.Hair was also dark green, but he was a man.The long spear with its end covered in leather sheath stood behind him.
The long-haired Knight continued to speak to Kirito.
“Mr Bercoulli continues his long fight to protect the Human World and the Axiom Church on the orders of the Supreme Goddess Administrator! But no one gave orders to Prime Swordsman Dono.by which, the obligation for him was an order!”.
Kirito tried to deny it with his language.
“But if that's the reason, then I can also rule myself..”.
At the same time the knight with his armor made a standing sound from his place. But before an even louder voice could be heard, Fanatio interrupted immediately.
“Quiet a little Negi-boy.”
“I am not an onion, I am Nergius!”
Though he answered her with annoyance, a knight named Nergius Synthesis-Sixteen sat down
return to calm. It was the senior Integrity Knight who protected the Axiom church
for over hundreds of years.
Based on the naming in the Human World, the name Nergius means intelligence, determination, and assertiveness. After all, the owner of the divine object ‘The Storm Sprout’ Spear, Ronye needs to know more about the meaning of his name.
In a remote rural area in the Wesdarath empire in the west, there is a type of vegetable called leek riko that has long been a special product. 2x fold special because this onion is 3x thick, it is, and 4x sweeter and delicious—even though you already know, sometimes there are farmers who say that there are large leeks growing in the corner of the field.
The farmers happily take care of it every day, raising it to a higher height.The leaf branch grows quickly until its length reaches 1-2 mel.Because of rumors that the onion grows in many places, not a few immigrants from around the village and the city are curious.
The farmers became greedy, to the point that they stopped gardening, but he knew that there was a way to make a profit and earn money from people who were curious about onions. meanwhile the leek onion grows up to 3-4 mel, and its thickness reaches 50 cen.The original color of the white turns somewhat silver, and the green color of the leaves is also very beautiful to see.
A few months later, the farmers felt something strange in their fields. There are small buds around the onion leaves that do not grow. The low growth also affects the fields beside it, the farmers in the village assume that the abnormalities in the onion is because the farmers who care for it.
At the last meeting, the villagers asked the farmer to pull the onion. At that time, the farmers tried to pull the onion which had reached 7 mel in height.First pushed it with a cow, and the, but the onion remained unmoved, then used an axe, but failed as well. And lastly is to try to dig out the roots, the ceiling suddenly becomes cloudy and a huge storm hits the village.
The wind and rain had been wild for a moment, and they finally came down, and the vast field of onion farmers had been crushed with mud and left only the mysterious onion that still survives in the middle.
Nergius' Storm Sprout Spear is said to have been converted by the Supreme Goddess Administrator from the mysterious onion. His priority was buried in the sacred ground, but the best thing was to have an unusual effect: being able to hover above the floor and ground without anything holding him back, he said, in other words, it will not fall even if the position is tilted.
The owner was also a simple-minded person, without removing that the noble knight was the one who served the Axiom church for hundreds of years, but Ronye did not really make an impression on him.
Because when the Supreme Goddess Administrator was defeated, it was Nergius who most struggled to want Kirito punished as an act of rebellion.Although that did not happen because of the previous leader knight, Bercoulli assured him that knight Alice left Centoria with Kirito.
Even so, the group led by Nergius did not participate in the Foreign World War and the rest were on the border of the Cathedral and the edge of the mountain, so the mental connection with him was not so strong, Nergius sipped a cup of tea on his desk. Other new sounds—more relaxed—heard again.
“Well, come to think of it, if Kirito-sensei did it all by himself, I feel that Negio is lonely because he is not trusted, is it Negio?”
Nergius who heard it glared at him still holding an empty cup.
“I'm not talking about loneliness know!”
Despite nagging her, she did not protest about the strange nickname ‘Negio’. It looked like he was giving up rather than accepting it.And who said it was a young knight of the same age as Nergius—just from the outside alone. He was shorter than Nergius, and more dashing.His short hair was about 2-3 cen, the color of his armor was purplish blue. He had a classic long sword as a weapon, and yes of course it did not float like Nergius' spear, but it was on his left waist.
