Sardinia is the second-largest island in Italy, after Sicily.
The people here wore various styles of clothing. From their lively atmosphere, Kaito could feel the city's vibrancy and rich cultural color.
Likewise, it was also a very nice holiday island, one of the resort destinations many young people liked to visit.
Sicily has an area of about 24,090 square kiloters, with a population of roughly 1.6 million on the entire island.
The island's main industry is tourism, not to ntion fisheries, agriculture, and mining.
Every year during sumr or various holiday seasons, tourists from all over the world co here for vacations.
Especially the coast in the northeast direction, with its beautiful erald-green shores, is a must-visit destination for many travelers.
Similarly...
Perhaps due to the sufficiently open atmosphere here, Kaito, simply walking down the street, attracted the gaze of many won, and so bold ones even ca up to hit on him.
If Kaito were willing, tonight might hold so very beautiful mories.
'Barring any accidents, this should indeed be the tiline at the beginning of the plot.'
He had asked locals if there had been any particularly terrible storms or earthquakes recently. Everyone just said there had only been simple heavy rain lately, no such storms.
So next, Kaito had three choices.
First, wait for Verethragna and lqart to fight, then go over and take them out.
But during that ti, the protagonist might show up with his protagonist halo to pick up the scraps.
Second, go directly to the witch Lucretia Zola's house and lie in wait, also grabbing the stone tablet [Protheus' Grimoire] from Kusanagi Godou's hand, which can steal Authorities from Heretic Gods.
Third, continue wandering the streets, maybe he'd run into Kusanagi Godou?
'Looks like the third option is more fated for .'
Just as he was thinking about these three options, the world's protagonist, Kusanagi Godou, appeared before Kaito's eyes.
At that mont, he was holding a piece of paper, asking for directions in his very awkward, error-filled English. After the passersby couldn't understand and couldn't help him leave, Godou sighed and decided to rest sowhere for a while.
"Speaking of which, this stone tablet is really strange. They say it's an antique, but it doesn't feel like one."
Godou opened his backpack, took out a drink, took a sip, and then pulled out the stone tablet his grandfather had asked him to return to soone.
For so reason, he always felt this stone tablet was not simple, but he couldn't pinpoint why.
Sigh,
If his grandfather hadn't insisted he deliver it personally into the original owner's hands, he should be able to have a good ti sightseeing here now. Even if he didn't have much money, there was a way to travel 'poorly'.
No need to buy things, just looking at the scenery was enough to bring joy.
This place is a resort destination, after all.
Speaking of which, Godou envied his grandfather. Even though traveling around wasn't easy in that era, his grandfather still managed to travel the world and was a well-known figure for collecting antiques.
"Hello, you're Kusanagi Godou, right?"
"Huh?"
Godou was stunned to hear familiar Japanese.
'Soone here knows ?'
Looking up, he felt envious.
He had never seen such a handso and charismatic man. Even his height was much taller than his own.
Standing before him, no matter how confident he might be, he would probably feel a bit inferior.
But rembering that the man had called his na earlier, he subconsciously nodded.
'Co to think of it, how did he know my na?'
"I am Kusanagi Godou. May I ask who you are, sir?"
Godou used honorifics in his question.
"Heh, it's good that it's you, Kusanagi Godou. Nice to et you, my na is Kaito."
"Actually, the reason I'm looking for you is because of a troubleso request from soone, the Lucretia Zola you're looking for."
"Due to special circumstances, she can't go out, so she asked to retrieve an item from you, which is the stone tablet in your hand."
Kaito explained very calmly.
He spoke as if it were true, leaving Godou half-convinced, half-doubtful, but leaning more towards trust.
Anyway, Godou couldn't possibly know the plot details.
In his understanding, people of his grandfather's generation were mostly old won.
If soone of that age couldn't go out, wasn't that quite common?
How could he possibly know that Lucretia Zola was a witch, and thus still maintained her youthful beauty!
Precisely because he knew nothing, that 'old woman' had entrusted Kaito to retrieve the tablet.
"I see, I understand the situation."
Godou was already mostly convinced when Kaito ntioned Lucretia Zola's na. Now, this explanation was also fairly reasonable.
It wasn't like Kaito had co to scam him out of the stone tablet, was it?
Although it looked valuable, and his grandfather insisted he deliver it personally, in his eyes, it still wasn't that important an item.
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Kaito, to hand this stone tablet over to that old lady. Thank you very much!"
"You're welco, young man."
Kaito smiled, accepted the stone tablet, and then turned and left.
No chance encounters, just took it and ran.
As for Godou, he stayed where he was, feeling like he had lost sothing. But now, he could take this opportunity to have so fun nearby.
It was a rare trip; he couldn't just go straight back after completing the task, right?
At least he should have so fun, see so nice things.
He heard a certain corner was quite lively at night?
Hmm...
Thinking about this, Godou got excited.
"Sigh, if only I had a lot of money."
Unfortunately, he didn't have much money. Otherwise, he'd really like to give it a try!
On the other side, Kaito, now holding the stone tablet [Protheus' Grimoire], began strolling around nonchalantly.
In his plan, since Godou had appeared, shouldn't the heroine, Erica Blandelli, be showing up soon?
"Uh... Se, Sephie?"
"Oh my, I've found you indeed, Kaito."
"Huh... How did you co too?"
"Hehe, because I was really worried about your safety, so I followed."
Sephie appeared from the street, but seed to be using so ability. The people around ignored her presence, as if she simply wasn't there, yet pedestrians still subconsciously avoided her.
"Don't worry, although I can't be of combat help to you, Kaito, I can still provide healing if you need it. Moreover, the detailed explanation didn't prohibit challengers from being treated by others."
