Episode 297: Pillar of light(Third Party Perspective)

On that day, it emerged from the mountains of Ireland.

"What is that!?"

"Wow, amazing!!"

"God's miracle!!"

Many people were captivated by it, and everyone gasped at the spectacle.

It was a pillar of light that reached the heavens.

The pillar of light was so divine that it was no exaggeration to say that a god had descended, and it emitted an aura that made one feel its strength.

Some just stared blankly at the pillar of light, while others knelt and prayed. Some even captured the situation on camera, while others posted it on SNS.

"Eeh, according to the information I just received, this video was shot in Ireland, and it captured a pillar of light towering upwards for several tens of seconds. What was even more surprising was that after the light went out, a forest suddenly appeared, even though there shouldn't have been a forest there, and in the midst of it stood a remarkably large tree. However, after another few tens of seconds, all traces of such a thing disappeared. What exactly was it? This time we have Tamageta-hakasei, who is familiar with such paranormal phenomena."(TN:Hakasei is a learned person with a PHD, could be translated as Dr.)

"Tamageta!!"

"..."

"No, I'm sorry!! Regarding this phenomenon ..."

The videos posted on social media were picked up by many news programs, and were discussed with specialists familiar with the occult.

However, in the end, it was nothing more than speculation, and no one appeared who could propose a solid theory.

"Isn't that the light from which a spirit descended?"

"Certainly, that forest looked very similar to the forest where spirits live, according to folklore."

"No, that must be the Fairy Forest."

"No, no ..."

Speculation lead to speculation, which eventually spread all over the world.

On the other hand, at a certain royal castle.

An old woman and a beautiful girl in her mid-teens were having a conversation while elegantly drinking tea in a gorgeous room.

"What exactly is that, Obaa-sama."

"There is an old legend in our royal family that elves live in the thickly forested mountains of the island of Ireland."

"Isn't that a dubious story?"

The topic here is also about the pillar of light.

The old woman passes on the handed down lore to the little girl, who furrows her brows and asks back.

"Nope, it's properly recorded in a book that only those who become King can read, and I heard that a long time ago, one member of the royal family married an elf."

"No way ... Then ..."

When then old woman presents the evidence, the girl immediately changes her expression and looks at the old woman's face with a stunned expression.

An old woman. She is the Queen of the Kingdom of Britannia, commonly known as England, and the other girl her granddaughter. The Kingdom of Britannia is a country that covers the entire island of Ireland and Britain.

"Yeah, I think something must have happened in the elf forest."

"I can't believe such a thing is possible ..."

The Queen nods in agreement with what her granddaughter imagines. When the granddaughter hears the Queen's words, she never thought that the story of the fantasy world was real, and she is even more stunned.

"That's right. But, I've never heard of anything like this happening in the Elven Forest before. What exactly happened?"

"Isn't it okay to investigate?"

The Queen tilts her head with her fan in front of her mouth.

"No, you probably won't be able to find it by normal means."

"Then, what are you going to do?"

The Queen answers her granddaughter's question confidently. The confused granddaughter asks back at her negligence.

"I would like to contact them based on the old legend."

"How do you do that?"

"That is ..."

The Queen passes on to her granddaughter the method of interacting with the elves again. The day may come when exchanges between them and the elves will be restored.

Also, at a certain cathedral.

"How can you say that without calling it a miracle of God!!"

"There is also the possibility that it is just a natural phenomenon!!"

"What, are you stupid!! How can such a natural phenomenon exist!!"

"Hurry up and investigate the place where that pillar of light was and make it our sacred place!!"

"If you do that, England won't be silent!!"

"It's a holy war! Our holy land is in the hands of the enemy. That's enough reason to call it a holy war!!"

"Are you stupid? This world is full of dungeons, and even if it's just for nothing, when you're doing your best to protect the realm of humans, even stupid people should take a break from holy wars!!"

A heated discussion takes place at a round table that can seat eight people.

"Quiet!!"

""...""

However, the room is filled with silence due to one man.

That man is the Pope of the world's largest religion.

"First of all, it is a priority to conduct an investigation. Depending on how the information goes, our Holy Knights will move. Immediately blend in with the general public and conduct an investigation."

""Yes!""

Despite the fact that they had been arguing so violently until just now, they obediently follow the command of the Pope's voice and begin to move.

"Well, will it be a demon or a snake? I hope it will be useful to us ..."

The Pope rubs his hand under his chin, looks into the distance, and distorts the corners of his mouth.
