Chapter 184 – Meeting Libra again

Roxy, who had turned into an angel, flew straight to where Eris and Libra were .

[Fai! What in the world is that…]

[What the! Such a huge thing…]

She stopped as soon as we saw what appeared from beyond the horizon .

A huge object was flying through the sky .

Its shape was similar to a s.h.i.+p… but the s.h.i.+ps I knew of could only float on water .

[Black s.h.i.+p . ]

Those words unintentionally escaped my mouth .

Its jet black color made it stand out like a sore thumb in the midst of broad daylight .

[I can feel signs of those two coming from the s.h.i.+p . What do we do?]

As Roxy said, it’s true .

There’s no point in staying here .

[Let’s go . ]

[Indeed . ]

It’ll be faster to attack if we come closer .

Otherwise, we probably could still negotiate with Libra .

The available options couldn’t be narrowed down as long as we didn’t know what the other side was doing .

Fortunately, the black s.h.i.+p was still far away from Hausen .

Even if a battle occured, it’d at least be in this uninhabited wilderness .

There might be very little casualties, but I preferred that we didn’t have to fight .

The other side might misunderstand if we were to approach speedily .

That’s why Roxy had been flying at a lower speed .

The black s.h.i.+p itself was approaching us with similar speed .

[They have not made any drastic movements so far . ]

[Yeah . Eris and Libra don’t seem to be moving out from that s.h.i.+p either . ]

Are they telling us to come in!?

That’s really weird to say the least .

But Libra didn’t seem to show any hostility toward us this time .

[I saw them! I saw Eris-sama and Libra! Eris-sama seems to be alright . ]

Was she being restrained or something?

That’s what both of us thought .

However, contrary to our expectation, Eris was standing there alongside Libra .

She hated him so much, yet they now stood very close together .

That’s not the only strange thing here . Eris was wearing a maid outfit instead of her usual getup .

When Libra noticed us, he smiled and waved his hand to us .

[He doesn’t seem like he’s looking for a fight…]

[Shall we land?]

[Please do . I’ll go talk to them, so put me down on the black s.h.i.+p first . Roxy should stay put as a precaution . ]

[Alright . ]

I simply don’t believe Libra .

He tried to demolish Hausen once .

There’s no way I could trust this guy .

Roxy dropped me off on the black s.h.i.+p’s deck .

Libra was standing at the front . While Eris stayed on the back .

[Hi, Fate . You look well . ]

[What are you coming here again for this time? And what did you do to Eris?]

Eris looked strange alright . Her eyes seemed hollow .

It’s like she’s not even there .

[You toss out so many questions when we only just met . Can’t you at least enjoy our moment of reunion?]

[Like you have the right to say that . Put your hand on your chest and recall back what you’ve done to us . ]

He actually did put his hand on his chest .

[Have I done something particularly bad?]

[You… . . ]

When I moved toward Libra, someone else got in my way .

That strand of blue hair, it’s Eris .

Wordlessly, she stood between us as if protecting Libra .

[Eris?]

[… . . ]

No reply came from her .

No matter how I tried to get to Libra, Eris wouldn’t let me pa.s.s .

[What’s wrong? Please, say something . ]

[… . . ]

There’s no reaction at all .

That is, until Libra spoke .

[Enough, return behind me . ]

Eris obediently returned to where she was before .

[What have you done to Eris?]

[I simply return her to where she should be . She’s been running loose for way too long now . I had to put a firm leash on her to get her back . ]

[Where she should be?]

[She is my slave, or you could say a cute pet . She let loose herself, travelling to the outside world with this airs.h.i.+p without permission, even creating a Kingdom, doing whatever she wanted . ]

[Pet!? She’s a human!]

[Her beautiful appearance was due to controlled inbreeding . Well, a pet who has bitten its master’s hand must be disciplined . It’s par for the course . ]

[You… . . ]

From what I understand, Libra did something to Eris, putting her under his beck and call

I’ve been keeping my hand around my black sword from the moment we started talking .

I had no choice but to draw it now .

[You’re quick on the uptake . ]

Libra nodded as he approached me .

[As you might know already, Eris is in my hand . For example, if I want her to die, then she would do so unquestioningly . ]

Eris pulled out her black bayonet and attempted to stab herself in the neck .

[I get it already, so please stop . ]

[It’s good if you understand . ]

Libra gave Eris a look .

In turn, she lowered the black bayonet .

[You’re taking Eris hostage?]

[Didn’t you hear me? She simply returned to where she should be . ]

Libra turned his back on me, gazing toward the south .

[Now, what should I do with that? It’s troubling me right now . Something like that is floating high in the sky . What should stay on the ground is instead in such a place . Isn’t it so unsightly?]

[Are you talking about Gallia?]

[What else? Ahh… if only I could find someone to sink that thing back to the ground?]

Libra gave me a sideway glance .

Despite what he said, he’s actually telling me to do it .

[Why being so cryptic . Can’t you just say it clearly?]

[Ahaha, don’t be angry . There must be a mutual benefit in an agreement . therefore…]

Libra put Eris in front of him .

[If you can do that properly, I’ll give this to you . How about that as a condition?]

[Don’t treat Eris like an object . ]

[You only carry with you half the blood of the sacred beastkin . I give you that . Which is why I’m making a lot of concessions already . But you shouldn’t offend me too much . ]

Now that Eris had been taken hostage, I had no choice but to accept .

Besides, to handle the matter of the floating Gallia, it would be better to have Libra cooperating with us instead of the other way around .

We’re using each other here .

I could care less about Libra .

[Very well . Let’s cooperate . ]

[I knew Fate would say that . You’re Dean’s son after all . We were such good friends in the past, enough for me to call him my best friend . It’s beyond me why he ended up doing something like that against me . I really don’t understand . ]

[You and Dad? Friends…? ]

[Back in the old days . But that’s not the case anymore . Though I feel like we can get along well . I’m actually looking forward to it . ]

[Kuhh… . . ]

Libra offered me a handshake as he said that .

I didn’t want to shake his hand, but I had to .

[Deal . We’ll be cooperating from now on . ]

As soon as our hands firmly held, I tried activating《Mind Reading》 .

(Such a bad boy, you are . But I don’t hate this kind of mischief once in a while)

But Libra saw through it .

He couldn’t be read at all .

[Well then, you should let Roxy who is waiting in the sky know about our agreement . And the Wrath down there too . She looks extremely angry there, what’s with that piercing glare that she’s been directing toward me for a while now . ]

In other words, Libra could still afford to stay calm even while knowing that I, Roxy, and Myne might join hands to kill him .

Is a clue on how strong he really is?

[Alright, let’s begin . Onward to Gallia . ]

Libra didn’t seem to care anymore about us . He turned toward where the floating Gallia was, where Dad was waiting .

His face was like a kid who had found a new toy .
