When he said it this seriously, I couldn't help being taken aback.
After all, this was completely different from the Aquaron that I had known up until now. This seed like a completely different god than the one that I had been talking to...
However, I could feel the seriousness that was in his voice and it affected as well.
It seed that there was more to this situation than I thought.
As for Aquaron himself...
Well, I didn't really have much hope for him.
As if he was done with , Aquaron suddenly raised his trident and pointed it at before saying, "Alright, it's ti for you to go back. I hope that you will keep my words in mind."
Then in a less serious voice, he said, "I've even given you one of my favourites, so you better not let it down."
Before I could say anything, there was this flash of light that appeared in front of my eyes and the scene in front of disappeared.
After he disappeared, Aquaron suddenly turned around and seed to look into empty space before suddenly saying with a sigh, "Is there a reason to hide like that?"
There was a mont of silence before ripples appeared in that space and another figure of light appeared.
If Zwein was still here, he would have recognized this figure of light since it was the one that he had seen the most.
It was Solista.
She didn't seem to say anything as she just floated there in silence for a bit, but then she suddenly said, "Did you really have to act like that? You didn't need to pretend to be a frivolous young master, did you, big brother?"
A chuckle rang out before Aquaron said, "It's better to give him all kinds of different experiences or else he might pick up on sothing. It's better that we do all that we can to keep him in the dark until the ti is right."
Solista seed like she was agonizing over sothing, but she eventually said with a sigh, "I know, but..."
Aquaron just turned around and waved his hand before saying, "It's fine. When the ti cos, he'll know everything. It's not as if I have to act like this forever."
Solista didn't react at first, but she eventually gave a small nod of agreent.
...
There was only a bitter smile that was on my face when I reappeared in the temple.
That frivolous god...
He was just like the prodigal young masters in the novels that I read...
How could soone like that possibly beco a god?
No, thinking about it...they were gods that were born with the creation of this world, weren't they?
Or at least that was what was written in the lore of the ga and the history books of this world. So it wasn't as if there was soone that made him into a god, he was just born a god.
Perhaps it was because he was born a god that he eventually settled on this personality. After thinking about this for a bit, I just tossed it all out of my mind.
It wasn't as if this was sothing that I was supposed to think about, there was sothing more important for to settle right now.
I looked down at my hand and opened it up to find the button that Aquaron gave .
After looking at it for a bit, I decided to put it away instead of use it here. If I were to use it here, there was no doubt that it would cause quite the commotion, especially with everyone waiting outside for .
So after putting it away, I walked up to the door.
To my surprise, the door actually opened when I approached as if there was so kind of sensor to it.
But I saw that there was no one that was touching the door when I ca out.
It really seed as if the door had opened all on its own when I approached it.
When I cald down a bit, I saw that I wasn't the only one that was surprised by the fact that the door opened on its own.
There were still people that were standing outside and they all had looks of shock on their faces as they looked at .
Seeing them act this way made an awkward expression appear on my face.
But I sucked it up and pretended like I didn't see anything as I made my way through the crowd. I walked over to the rman King's group who had been waiting there for the entire ti.
When I ca over, I asked them, "How long was I in there?"
They didn't respond as they looked at with the sa shocked look.
So I just snapped my fingers in front of them to get their attention.
When they slowly ca back to their senses, the rman King took out so kind of shell that was similar to a pocket watch and looked at it for a bit before saying, "Just a few
minutes."
I wasn't surprised to hear this.
Even though it felt like I had spent a long ti in the private domain of Aquaron, not that much ti had passed out here. After all, the rules of the universe didn't really apply when it
ca to gods.
With a nod, I asked, "Is there a place to talk in private? There's sothing that I want to talk to you about."
The rman King was once again surprised to hear this, but then he gave a serious nod. Though the priests and nuns seed like they wanted to talk to , the rman King's group kept them back and we headed away from the temple.
It didn't take long for us to arrive in a bright and beautiful palace that was made of coral.
This was the castle of the rman King.
When we were in a private room, I spoke before he could, "What do you know about the sea witches?"
