Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 649 Minor truth…

[Rein's POV: ]

[[ "So, you are saying that the two of you talked about all these fates and things and things and the complicated stuff but at the end he told you to… live? I don't understand what that means darling." ]]

[[ "Me neither. Tha's the thing. He was himself until the midday through the conversation and everything was going pretty well and 'normally' but after a point, everything was drifted in some weird direction where he didn't even seem himself.

It was verity weird and then my head started hurting as I continued klistining to him…

It was the same kind of pain you would get after knowing the things that you shouldn't." ]]

[[ "You mean the Penalty?" ]]

[[ "Yes… something like the penalty but not as intense as that. Something like half panelty? You can say I heard things that I knew a little about but since they were too deep or connected to something that we still don't have access too, they became too much of a burden.

Haaa… it was weird. And the most weird aspect of all this was the fact that we were certainly using Celes' connection all that time." ]]

[[ But master! I didn't- ]]

[[ "Yes, yes. I know you have nothing to do here. But as I said, there was something strange going on with that whole conversation in the end.

Sir Jade didn't even seem like himself. It was like the one talking was a completely different being.

And that golden light, you at saw that right? Don't you think something was weird about all of it?" ]]

[[ "Ah… right. I did think that golden light was something unique but then again, he is an origin beast and somethig that we know little about.

I thought it was some kind of skill so, I didn't think too much about it." ]]

[[ "Rein… do you hear yourself?" ]]

[[ "Hmmm? What do you mean?" ]]

[[ "Repeat what you just said." ]]

[[ "What I just said? You mean about Sir Jade using some skill that I didn't think too much about? What about it?" ]]

[[ "Repat it again." ]]

[[ "Oy darling… why are you being so paranoid about this small thing-" ]]

[[ "Just do as I say!" ]]

Now he was shouting? What the hell?

'It's not like him to shout like this. He is usually calm and composed but since he was the one shouting…'

There was certainly something going on.

[[ "Sir jade used a skill that produced a golden light but since we know little about him-…?! Wait wait! What the hell! Don't we have a detailed report on his abilities and skills?! The last time we saw him, we-… ugh!" ]]

[[ Master! What happened?! ]]

I felt a sudden headache, a severe one that made me think like my head burst like a balloon for a moment there. 

But thankfully, it was only momentary and when i checked, my heads was also on its place. Haaa.. good lord. This was freaking hellish!

[[ "You get it now? The headache?" ]]

[[ "Yes… you were feeling this for last two and a half hours?" ]]

[[ "…that's not the point here." ]]

[[ "How's that not the point?! You were hurting like crazy and you didn't even explain that?! Why did you do that?! And why didn't I feel what you were feeling?!" ]]

He had been in pain form the time Sir Jade or whatever that creature was had vanished from the garden before us and after that first class, two classes had alredy passed.

We were attending our individual classes right now and I was in my Spirit bonding class, listening to the teacher alongside Quin and my other classmates, but my attention was focused on our conversation for most parts.

But that's beside the point!

He was enduring all that and I didn't even knew about any of it?! What the hell?!

[[ "Rein… calm down. Whatever happened was not something as simple, as we think and I believe you already know the reason behind this headache, the fact that you thought we did not know much about sir Jade, and the things that happened during that moment." ]]

[[ "I know but… why would someone make the it into a 'truth' just to hide it from us students? What was their motive?" ]]

The reason we felt that headache and the fact that I was thinking Sir Jade producing a golden light was something normal was all because some people with an origin skill had taken an origin oath that created some kind of 'minor truth' and became of this, we ultimately were thrown off focus form what was already before us.

The method was absurd when we thought about it and the fact that it was employed only so that that bird or whatever it was could have the conversation with Eon and others could be kept away from it.

'The 'truth' they must have employed should have kept the memories of the creature limited, should have kept the conversation going on without interruption through that unique connection that Eon thought was Celes' and, it should have also kept the others from thinking it was something perfectly normal.'

It must have taken formidable powers to come together to create this unique 'minor truth' but… why? What could be the reason?

[[ "They told me not to worry about things that are uncertain anyway. And, they told me to live. Live a little more… or so they said. 

I never felt some kind of hostility or hidden intention from them so, I don't think they meant harm to me in any way. And, they certainly told me about their time with uncle El and Miss Sarah, so, I think that being certainly had Sir Jade, or at least their memories or something. 

Perhaps they were a part of Sir Jade were inside him or were borrowing his body for a moment or something but the way it happened Rein… I don't think we should think about it too deeply." ]]

Now that I had realized there was this 'minor truth' in place, I could feel him once again and, I could feel the strange relief he was feeling alongside that tinge of little pain. 

He really meant it when it said there was no need to worry, which wasn't like him.

[[ "Eon… what happened?" ]]

[[ "Actually… nothing. It's nothing we should worry about. That's all I would say right now." ]]

Which actually meant he didn't want to talk about the things that had happened, that he already had an idea about all the stuff and that they were nothing I should be too concerned about since me getting involved would just make things even more complicated.

He was worried but, I know, even while listening to his boring high magic theory class, he would be smiling bitterly at his own situation.

[[ "Promise me you won't get hurt because of this incident." ]]

[[ "I certainly won't, but, the thing is, I am worried the ones around me might." ]]

[[ "If you believe it will be alright, then it will be alright. Remember that thing Sir Jade said about living a little more instead of thinking about things? Well, let's just do that then. Let's finish the classes and tell everyone that it was nothing. 

They are also worried since you looked off during the lunch today. Quin has been worried for a while as well now." ]] 

[[ "Haha, has she now? What is going on there anyway?" ]]

[[ "Just the same old same old. Oh, right. Did I tell you some of the students will try their first spirit summoning next week? Wanna join us after classes for that?" ]]

[[ "Sure~! Why now~. We can have our regular practice after finishing with that fun thing." ]]

[[ "Hehe, then looks like everyone else will be there as well. It will be fun~!" ]]

[[ "Haha, of course of course. Go focus on your lecture now. The teacher should now be starting with the hierarchy of spirits, I think? Focus on that. You will learn more about Clover." ]]

[[ "Ah, right! About clover… haha, I still can't believe she is something so important" ]]

[[ "She is important. But, the one she serves is even more important. That's why you should take better care of her. And to do that, you will have to focus on your classes, for which, I will take my leave now. Take care." ]]

This bastard… he just said that and then, stopped speaking. And not just that, he turned on the connection link from his side as well so that I can't contact him anymore.

Bastard.

"You look better now, Uriel. Looks like the thing with brother Lucifer has been resolved?"

"It has. So don't worry now. Look what madam is saying. It seems to be related to the rank of your guardian spirit."

"Right. Haaaaah. I'm just relive everything has been sorted out. That look on your face and the tension on brother Lucifer didn't look good at all."

"Of course you dummy, why would tension and confusion look good? Besides, it was nothing. He was just overthinking things like he sometimes does."

"Still, overthinking or whatever it was, I am relived it's over now."

"Hmmm~? Is someone talking in my class~? Is it Miss Uriel~? Do you have a question young miss~?"

Our spirit bonding class teacher was a special beast person and a very fun lady. We all loved her after just this short time together.

She was fun, pretty, hot, and most of all, she was amazing when it came to the understanding of the spirit creatures.

"No ma'am! I'm just talking with my friend about something! I apologise! I will stop now!"

"Don't shout you dummy. I can hear just fine. Anyway, now that you have broken the class and attracted everyone's attention anyway, would you mind demonstrating this little thing I just taught?"

"Shall I? Isn't it better to demonstrate yourself first so others can learn?"

"Hehe, what are you talking about Miss Uriel~? I know you also wanna do this~. Then just do it~!"

Well, what she said wasn't wrong either since I wanted to do it as well, but, now that she was insisting anyway…

"Then shall I?"

"Yes~. Please~! Come Clover! Show us something amazing!"

"Mewwwwwwwww~!"

Even Clover was excited, hehe.

'We were talking about the spirit hierarchy, and spirts had this unique way of displaying their ranks in their society. And, we were going to demonstrate it now!'

It would be fun!

'Even more so since Clover is a direct attendant of the spirit kind of Water element and hold the highest rank among all the spirits present here, hehe.'

Clover was amazing… and now that the burden on my heart was listed, I can happily play with her, and everyone else, of course~!
