The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone

Floating Sanctuary (2)

Evening after meeting Yuto.

Perrin returned to the village with a bucket full of water.

He returned late because he was playing with Yuto and was scolded, but it was not difficult to endure the scolding because it was something he was prepared for.

Aside from that, Perrin had many things left to tell the fairies.

That was the story I had with Yuto today.

If there is a stigma, you cannot summon a spirit, but there was no problem with playing with the already summoned spirit.

Perrin was waiting until the scolding was over to let the villagers know about it.

After the long period of scolding was over, Perrin went to Rendell and talked to him.

“Hello, Rendell!”

“Perrin. What’s going on?”

Rendell was a village elder who took care of the fairies who had lost their families.

Perrin was also a fairy who could easily talk to her in this town.

When Rendell, who was reading a book, turned his gaze to her, Perrin arranged the story to bring out to Rendell.

The adventure she went through today was an interesting and heart-pounding story for her.

Perrin was trying to convey the experiences he had experienced to Rendell as much as possible.

“Rendell! This time I met a new spirit! There was a spirit that did not run away even when it saw me.”

“Have you met the spirit?”

“yes! It was a little late for that, but…”

Rendel frowned upon hearing Perrin’s story.

Have you ever brought up a story that you shouldn’t have done?

Perrin looked at Rendell and stopped talking.

Seeing Perrin like that, Rendell took off the glasses he was wearing and set it down on the desk.

Rendell, taking off his glasses, turned the chair to face Perrin and said to her.

“Perrin. Where did you meet the spirit?”

“We met at the spring we went to to get water.”

“It’s Sam… I can’t see the other guys, so it seems you’re the only one facing it.”

“I went late to get the water, but that’s when Yuto came.”

Hearing Yuto’s name, Rendell’s gaze turned to the brand on the back of Perrin’s hand.

Rendell stared intently at the stigma of Perrin engraved on the back of his hand.

Perrin, embarrassed by the glance at the brand, covered it with her hand without realizing it.

As Perrin covered the stigma, Rendell continued to ask Perrin questions.

“Yutora. Is that the spirit’s name?”

“yes. It’s a name I gave.”

“What does Yuto look like?”

“It’s huge dirt. If you were to guess the size, umm… it would be about a small island.”

The Yuto that Perrin met was large enough to fill with just one fairy standing there.

As Perrin measured Yuto’s size with her hand, Rendell’s eyes lit up as he looked at him.

Have you heard about the spirits?

Rendell seemed to be interested in Perrin’s story today.

Perrin, who was facing Rendell, felt a certain sense of unease in her heart.

Rendel looked at the size that Perrin had measured, followed it with her hand, and measured the size compared to herself.

Rendell, who was measuring the approximate size, said to Perrin with an ambiguous expression on his face.

“That would be a lot less powerful than that.”

“·················ogue.”

“What are the other characteristics?”

“Yuto flies well. It’s also very fast…”

“The spirits of the earth are flying?”

Rendel’s expression changed as he was afraid to hear that Yuto was flying.

This time, it was Rendel with a bright smile.

At Rendell’s reluctant smile, Perrin unknowingly took a couple of steps back.

However, Rendell got up and grabbed Perrin’s arm.

Perrin, who was grabbed by Rendell’s arms in an instant, complained of pain to him.

“Lee, Rendel-sama… it hurts when you hold it so hard!”

“okay. sorry. But, Perrin, who else did you tell this story to?”

“I’ve only done it to Rendell-sama yet…….”

Perrin had heard the rebuke and came to Rendell right away.

It was too late to get the water from playing with Yuto, so there was no time to talk to the other fairies.

The story to Rendell was the first to bring up Yuto.

Hearing Perrin’s story, Rendell turned his head and looked out the window.

After checking the crowds around for a while, Rendell faced Perrin and warned her.

“Don’t bring that up to others today.”

“yes? Why?”

“If you hear that you have a stigma and become friends with a spirit, other people may try to threaten the spirit.”

It was an unbelievable story for some reason, but Perrin had no choice but to nod his head to Rendell.

It was because Rendel’s reaction was unusual.

Even if she tried to quietly meet Yuto after leaving Rendell, she needed to get out of this place and enter the house.

It was a situation that could not take the form of openly rejecting Rendell’s story.

“Oh okay.”

“Tomorrow, we will go to the spring together and check the spirit that you met.”

“······yes.”

“Then go back today. On the way back, be careful about the spirits.”

Rendel’s story was the last.

After the conversation, Perrin said goodbye to Rendell and exited the building.

Perrin’s mind was still in a state of anxiety.

I thought that if I made a mistake, Yuto might be taken away by other fairies.

She walked towards the house, thinking that she had to go to the spring early tomorrow morning.

To the north of Centirius, there is a boundary line that passes through the Imperial Control Territory.

In the periphery of such a boundary line, there were information vendors selling various information within the empire.

Those who could not handle information within the system were pushed to the border between regions.

Although they were not as detailed as those who sold information within the system, they were well acquainted with the various intelligences of the Empire.

In the case of information of relatively low importance, it also flowed into the outskirts of the imperial court.

Evan, wearing a hood that covered his face, took Utenia and stopped in front of the building where the information statue was located.

“This is the place I was talking about.”

“The building is quite large.”

“If you want to hide something, it’s definitely best to put it in the hustle and bustle.”

The store Evan visited looked like an ordinary bar on the outside.

It was a shop used occasionally by the Alamere family, who could not enter the center.

Evan grabbed the bar’s door and opened it wide.

profit.

As Evan opened the door and entered the building, he saw men already drinking heavily beer.

Evan walked past the men who were drinking glasses and headed towards the bar’s counter.

At the counter, there was a man wiping a glass with a grim expression.

“What is your business?”

As Evan approached, the man who was washing the glass asked Evan and Yutenia.

At that, Evan shoved his bare hands into his pockets.

tuk.

A silver coin from Evan’s pocket was placed on the counter.

It was the cost to enter a space selling information.

Evan spoke as he held it out to the man in front of him.

“I want to rent a room.”

“What kind of room do you want?”

“I want a big, fancy room. With a wizard accompanying me, I think it would be difficult to find an uncomfortable room.”

“You can go into the third room.”

The man handed a key to Evan.

It was the key to entering the space with the information statue.

Evan, who received the key, nodded and went up the stairs leading upstairs.

creak. creak.

Every time Evan took a step, the unpleasant friction characteristic of a wooden staircase resounded around him.

Yutenia, who was following Evan, looked at the key in her hand and asked.

“It’s more thorough than I thought.”

“It is a place you can trust.”

“It would be nice to know a lot about that person.”

Evan nodded at Yutenia’s words.

This is the opponent you have to be with until the end of this journey.

Evan also wanted the information merchant he would meet this time to know quite a few things.

He also chose this store for him.

This store was the place where Evan compromised as much as possible except for the system.

“The third room would be here.”

Evan went up to the second floor and headed to the front of the third room, counting from the left.

The creaking sound did not stop even when they reached the second floor.

Frowning at the noise in his ears, he put the key he had received from the counter into the keyhole.

shudder.

When I turned the key inserted all the way, the lock was released with a light metal sound.

Evan opened the unlocked door and looked at the empty room.

“There seems to be no one there. Is this right?”

“For now, we need to close the door.”

“I know.”

Euthenia, who entered the room with Evan, closed the door.

Darkness came into the windowless room with the sound of the door closing.

At the same time, a small hole appeared in the right wall of the room they entered.

In the small open gap with the wall in between, there was an informant smoking a cigarette with a lantern on.

He looked at Utena and Evan, smoking a cigarette with a bored expression.

Druck.

Evan pulled a chair and placed it in front of the information desk.

Then, while sitting face to face with the informant, he looked at him and talked.

“I came to buy information.”

“What information do you want?”

“Information about the islands and the wizards in the vicinity….”

tock. tock.

Hearing Evan’s words, the informant pointed his finger at the wall between them.

Evan frowned at the informational attitude.

It looked like he had stopped talking to Evan before he even started talking.

Evan’s gaze glared at the information statue who was tapping the wall with his finger.

“What are you doing?”

“If that’s the case, you should get a gold coin first.”

shudder.

As Evan tried to move the gauntlet, Yutenia grabbed his shoulder and shook his head.

Then he put the gold coin in Evan’s hand.

Whoo-.

With a brief sigh, Evan handed the gold coin he received from Eutenia to the intelligence officer.

The informant who received the gold coin smiled and put it in his pocket.

“I’m glad you understood it so quickly. All of those things are high-level information.”

He looked like he was praising Yutenia’s attitude when he stopped Evan.

Evan stared at the intelligence officer who was looking into his pocket, and then turned his head to Euthenia.

Then he asked Yutenia, who was watching the two with a relaxed attitude.

“Jutenia. How much longer do I have to wait?”

“Now it’s over.”

“It looks like the barriers are all ready now.”

Hearing Yutenia’s words, Evan stood up.

The time he had been waiting so long for had come.

This mission had to change the target several times as needed.

Therefore, it was Evan who had no intention of solving it quietly from the beginning.

The informant seemed to be puzzled by the conversation between Evan and Yutenia.

“What sound….”

“You will find out from now on.”

Kwajik.

Evan’s fist broke the wall between the rooms, creating a space.

Evan, who broke the wall in an instant, extended his gauntlet over the wall and grabbed the head of the informant.

Bo Sang Sang, who had his head caught in an unexpected surprise, opened his eyes wide and looked at Evan.

Fear of Evan was rising in his trembling eyes.

Evan slowly talked about his business to such an informant.

“Let me ask you one more time. looking for a wizard Are there any wizards in this area who are good at alchemy but are far from fighting?”

“Hey, let this go! Do this and you’ll be fine…!”

“——Astrafe.”

breakage.

A lightning bolt erupted from Evan’s hand, which was holding the head of information.

The Astrafe that Evan was wearing emitted a weak electric current.

The blue electric current that ran through his body shattered his throat and screamed.

“aa…!”

“——Astrafe.”

breakage. phlegmatic.

Evan fired Astrafe’s thunderbolt once more.

The screams of information shook the room again.

However, despite the screams that came out of their throats, no one came here from outside.

It was thanks to the high-level soundproofing barriers that Utenia had spread out everywhere.

Yutenia’s barrier was blocking not only walls but also vibrations that could propagate through the floor.

“Uhhh…”

Astrafe’s lightning strike convulsed the intelligence body.

Because Evan lowered his output and used lightning, the intelligence officer did not faint.

However, Evan’s gauntlet holding onto the head of information was still in good condition.

Information-sang looked over the gauntlet with half-open eyes.

Evan, who grabbed the staggering intelligence officer, raised the same question to him again.

“Second. Are there any wizards skilled in alchemy around here? It would be better to be as quiet as possible.”
