Chapter 140: Mixed Colors (4)

“Ernst.”

RATTLE, it went.

The sound of ornants tangling.

“What is going on?”

In the middle of the Temple of Cthanid, Eleanor walked busily and looked around. It was to check the faces of the residents. According to what Ernst communicated, the evacuation was complete. The residents excluding Pnakotic had just arrived at the temple. Only, she couldn't believe it. Because she couldn't be relieved, she checked the headcount again.

“Really?”

Eleanor's brows narrowed.

The windows provided in the temple were too small. In addition, they were high.

Small glass windows were rely provided on the ceiling. Because the damn Cthanid resides in the deep sea, was it said to be a structure to create an underwater environnt? It's absurd.

Eleanor sighed.

“Don't swear. I know it's a lie.”

Eleanor's gaze headed toward the center of the temple.

Nurous eyes, and bundles of tentacles. In addition, an appearance resembling a mollusk. Eleanor glared at the statue of Cthanid.

“Not only your words, I don't believe anything.”

“Quiet.”

Eleanor inhaled a breath.

Narrowing her eyes, she checked the residents.

- Just endure a little. It will be over soon.

- Is that true? I……, I don't really know. Whether outsiders can end all of this…….

- But can we, really live?

- What kind of talk is that! Look at that statue. It is evidence that our lives were toyed with. Even now, we must…….

- Our ancestors made that. Just until a few days ago, didn't we all look up to the Sea God.

- That is…….

Residents were mixed regardless of age and gender.

It's really funny. Rummaging through her hem, Eleanor thought. The Miko's attire was wrapping Eleanor's body. A village polluted while worshiping monsters, committing human sacrifice, and turning that into a religion. Is there another place as ssy as this? Eleanor shook her head. Everything seed like a farce.

“──Everyone.”

It wasn't different just because it was Eleanor.

There would be no need to equip the Miko's attire, but the reason she ends up insisting on it must be because of custom.

“Everyone rejoice.”

The residents' gazes concentrated on Eleanor.

Just as the Sea God Cthanid is a lie, the Miko Eleanor also did not exist. Eleanor Portsmouth is an orphan. Just a child brought from outside the village. While all residents thought so, they listened to Eleanor's words without knowing why.

Just as they have always done.

“They say the number of monsters is smaller than thought.”

Eleanor recited a bluff.

Just as she has always done.

“We will be safe.”

Believe.

Please believe .

I will swear to you all.

Eleanor muttered like that.

“……Although our belief would have always been wrong.”

Demian's voice ca through.

You've got to be kidding. Ernst clicked his tongue. Even a hungry dog would be better at lying than Demian. They were only exchanging voices through a communication spell, but Demian's voice penetrating his mind lacked strength. His appearance must be a ss. It was obvious without looking. The data displayed on the Tactical Controller was being updated.

‘Is your optic nerve safe.’

‘You probably tried to save a resident.’

Ernst's eyes opened.

Try to concentrate.

Demian's voice echoed.
