No One Knows What This Is! (2)

Everyone was in an uproar from the Priestess going missing.

Judas, it really wasnt you, then? Kidnapping the Priestess is dangerous even for you. Do you want to start a war with the Order?

Brigitte, who was finished with work, asked me.

She thinks Im behind any problem that occurs.

Of course, 80 percent of those worries were actually caused by me.

But not this time, really.

I dont even know what she looks like.

They say shes white as snow, and that shes blind.

Snowy white but unseeing.

I couldnt really picture it.

I did my best to imagine her appearance as I stepped into the mansion.

There could be a request like, Please find the Priestess, for all I know.

Naru, Im home.

The time that Naru shouldve come home.

I called her as I entered the house, but Naru, who usually would have already greeted me at the gates of the garden with a Dad, welcome home! and a big hug, didnt come out.

Was Naru also kidnapped?

I was momentarily concerned, then

Clap Clap

I heard clapping from upstairs.

As well, the childrens laughter sounded.

Here! Over here! Naru is here!

Hina is over here.

This is where Cecily is!

I see.

Are they calling me up?

I followed the childrens voices upstairs.

But soon I realized that it wasnt me they were calling.

What is this?

Clap Clap

The clapping children.

And a woman chasing them around the large, 2nd-floor corridor was what I saw.

The woman waved her arms around like she couldnt see, and the children evaded her movements as they clapped.

Over here!

Once I catch you, youll be sorry. Because Im a wicked witch. Arrrrr.

Seriously, what the hell?

For someone calling herself a wicked witch, she was white all over.

She wore the white robe of nuns and her face was covered in a white veil, like snow.

And the way she moved like she couldnt see.

Oh, holy shh.

I wasnt stupid, therefore I could assess the situation.

That lady was the one everyone was searching for, the Priestess!

And Naru and the others must have kidnapped her!

To become their playmate!

Got you! Bad children get the chomp.

Finally, the Priestess reached out and grabbed someone.

It was Cecily.

Hiiik! L-Let go! Aghh, fuck! She really bit me! Saint Marika! This is hardly noble-like! 1Possible Elden Ring reference.

Cecily struggled.

And holding onto the wriggling child, the Priestess chuckled like a villain.

Not noble-like? I was originally a commoner. More importantly, since Ive caught the child of a noble, I will fatten you up and eat you!

Will Cecily be eaten if this continues?

Of course, that wouldnt happen.

Are you the Priestess?

I revealed my presence.

At that, the woman who had Cecily jumped, strongly startled and crying out, Ah, unn, ahh? then spoke after putting Cecily down.

Who are you? Since when? How did you get here? You startled me.

I see.

As someone without vision and completely engaged in playing with the children, she hadnt known I showed up.

At the commotion, Brigitte came upstairs.

Its so noisy. Whats going on up here.

Brigitte arrived.

She looked between me, the kids, and the veiled lady in white before dropping her jaw, appalled.

Judas! I knew it was you! You insane bastard!

Recognizing Brigitte as she slapped my shoulder, the Priestess tilted her head.

Judas? Ah, I see. You are the famous thief Judas and you should be Brigitte the mage? Greetings. I am the Lords servant, Iris.

The lady placed a respectful hand on her chest and bowed her head.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

And so, no matter what I did, Molumolu didnt come out of the bag! Naru needed to pack quickly but Molumolu was stubborn!

Dinner time.

Naru talked about all that happened today as she ate.

Mostly it was that Molumolu didnt come out of her bag.

So Molumolu is still inside Narus bag! Look!

Molumolu was still curled up inside Narus bag.

Meoowww.

It was like it anchored itself there.

Why was it like this?

But how could anyone know, really?

Even its name was Molumolu.2Reminder that Molu = I dont know.

It was full of mysteries.

What kind of animal is it? It cries like a cat.

The Priestess tilted her head in question.

Even to her, Molumolu was fascinating.

However, I was more fascinated by the Priestess getting lost, meeting the kids, and joining us for dinner.

How did this happen? Priestess Iris, your disappearance has all of Freesia disturbed. The Order has been assured at least, but we would like details.

Cariote questioned her.

Lets go right now.

Right now?

Isnt it late?

Well, it shouldnt be a problem, though.

So then after dinner, we headed towards the research facility.

The basement, deep under the facility.

A bubbling tank.

The Priestess spoke, standing in front of that tank.

Is the thing inside the artificial Demon King? That so-called homunculus.

To be honest, I didnt know all that much about the experiment.

So I just let my eyes wander, and Brigitte, who was working on the experiment even up until this afternoon, let out a sigh and operated the buttons.

Soon, the tank lit up with a vooooom and the object that shone inside was rather peculiar.

What could it be compared to?

Rather than a material or object, it was some kind of energy wave.

Badump Badump Badump

Some kind of energy waves were surging within the tank.

Its the beating of a heart.

The Priestess said.

Brigitte then added.

We keep failing at making a physical body. The vessel cant retain its form with the homunculus core at the center. All thats left is this energy.

Brigitte scratched the back of her head awkwardly.

I wonder how I made Aru at the time. It was so long ago and my diary got burnt so without knowing which ingredient is missing, the progress

I see.

Brigitte too was struggling with manufacturing the homunculus.

She wasnt able to remember the steps or ingredients of the experiment since it was too long back.

The Priestess brushed her hand against the glass tank.

However, this energy is alive. Its about to be born. Its a step. One step.

A living energy.

Interesting.

This will be the new Demon King?

Brigitte clicked her tongue.

Originally, the Grandmaster had an important role. She was supposed to infuse karma into this artificial life form. But due to complications.

There certainly were some complications.

Without taking her hand off the cold tank, the Priestess spoke.

What is this ones name?

Name? Hmm, I havent really thought about it. Just homunculus or dummy. Or test subject alpha. What about the name?

Names are important. Even something minor like a rock will gain significance once its named. Alpha

The Priestess said.

At her words, the steady energy inside the glass tank changed, now thrumming.

Was it reacting?

Seeing this, Brigitte was surprised.

Theres a reaction!? It has never done that before! A name! My goodness, to think that it was something so simple! Now that I think about it, I named Aru before it even had a form!

Mage Brigitte, the nature of truth is such that even a country bumpkin can understand it. That is why its called the truth, they say. Alpha. There should be a more suitable name.

The Priestess moved her head as if peering inside the tank.

What did the thing inside look like to the eyes that couldnt see?

I sense something destined in my coming here. I may be mistaken but, lets discuss the next steps.

* * *

Naru, were not supposed to go into the testing lab!

Cecily cautioned Naru.

The facility which they had come to with the adults.

Naru bravely headed into the depths of the testing room; the menacing, snarling beasts trapped inside cages were very scary.

But Naru couldnt leave.

Molumolu ran away again!

Anytime they came here, Molumolu kept running off.

As they walked around in search of Molumolu, Naru and the other girls arrived at the basement lab filled with shining tanks.

It was the location where the girl who looked like Tywin was bubbling inside a tank.

The one looking like Tywin was nowhere to be found, instead, there was something strange.

Badump Badump

It was energy.

Energy that was alive and moving inside the tank.

This What is it? I think I might remember.

Hinas interest was piqued.

When she placed her hand on the tank, the energy hummed even more as if responding to her.

What is that?

Cecily was also fascinated.

The children gathered in front of the tank.

Within Cecilys blue eyes, the energy moved unusually.

What is this? Ive seen it before. Where was it? A nobles party? No. Where? I definitely know this. Naru, how about you?

Cecily asked Naru.

Of course, Naru didnt know what this was either.

The moment that she tilted her head

Molu?

Badump!!

Badump Badump!!!

The thrumming of the energy in the tank intensified.

As everyone was watching this sight, something made a rustling noise.

Meoooow.

Ah, Molumolu, come here!
