Chapter 7

Mira in her mind muttered this and placed her hand on chin in careful deliberation.“Who is this?”

While pacing back in forth in front of the door having begun to think of waiting until the master of the tower returned, the voice of a calm woman suddenly sounds from the rear. And Mira was familiar with this voice.

Indeed, the dress of a secretary was worn by a beautiful woman with shoulder length blond hair that suited her spectacles. Blue eyes that were filled with suspicion were turned towards Mira.

“Oh, Litaria its been a long time.” As for Luminaria, do you know where she has gone?”

The beautiful woman whom Mira calls Litaria is an aid of an Elder.In order to assist the Elder with their research and miscellaneous duties. NPC non player characters were dispatched by the country. In other words, Litaria is the aide for Luminaria. .

And she is of the race of elves. Because they possessed long lives, their beauty is kept for a very long period. Depending on the person such a race would be like a dream come true.However, players in Arch Earth Online were unable to choose the race because it was an exclusive race for NPCs. In addition, dwarves and little people, sirens, werewolves, and giants were famous examples of this. With the exception of cat ears and tails humans were unable to transform. Gardia tribe had robust bodies and various races exist.

“Who are you? In order to enter this floor one must use the elevator, other ways of approach are nonexistent. Only a select number of people know the way to the top floor.”

Wearing a tense atmosphere, Litaria’s eyes were filled strongly with precaution.

“Well then I am……” “It was so….”

Mira at the present time, recalled that she did not have her dignified appearance. It was not possible to ask Litaria to [Investigate].There was no guarantee that one would believe her if she introduced herself as Danbalf. To a person who knew herself originally, that magnificent Danbalf, being seen enjoying the appearance of a little girl would be an unbearable thing above all for Mira.However, it would only be a trifling thing if Luminaria was the other party.First of all Luminaria would enjoy “such a thing” more than anyone. In that case for Mira approaching the topic of her appearance, she could speak with confidence that she was cute.

As for the present conditions, Mira came to talk to Luminaria. This situation was unexpected.

Mira told Litaria that she remembered the procedure of going up to a sage’s room in the elevator. When she was speaking of this, she recalled the operation of the elevator.Only people knowing the procedure to start the elevator to go to the top floor know of it so that fans do not intrude on the Elder.Of course, Mira being an Elder agrees with this. Therefore, when she came here, Litaria doubted how a little girl had come to this floor as it was a cause for worry.

With her true identity not revealed, that she was the Elder of the summoning arts passing by to visit the sage’s room, then she will not communicate this fact.Then Mira tracing her jaw with her fingertip thinks over this insight. Since she is unable to determine her true identity, having said that she must provide justification for knowing how to operate the elevator to come up to this floor. She should come up with a convenient excuse that would allow her to go in and out freely in the future.

And then, one good idea appears.“You, do you know Danbalf?”

“Of course I know him. He is the Elder sama of the summoning tower.”

“Yes that is so. I am Danbalf’s apprentice. I was ordered by my master to pass on some messages to Luminaria dono in his place. I am to convey this message and come back.”

“Danbalf sama……!? If that’s the case then its surely reliable…….. Er, However I never heard about Danbalf taking care of an apprentice like you before.”

The expression of Litaria reflected obvious excitement when she heard his name. This was because she proclaimed herself the pupil of the wise man that had disappeared 30 years ago. It was justified if one said such a thing.

“That is so. I am an apprentice that bears the name of a person who had disappeared 30 years ago.”

“A person who has disappeared came back!? If there is a pupil, then that means Danbalf has returned?”

“Ah, yes its like that. For certain reasons he is unable to move right now. So I came instead.”

“Really? “Danbalf sama…… “But, what on earth is the situation for him to not be able to move?”

“Ah…… um, it is like that”

Because it was an incomplete idea, Mira would be troubled if she were asked for details. Then she hit upon a suitable excuse. It was an action that she had frequently done when was still Danbalf. If this world had succeeded conventional history, this might work.

“In order to train a newly summoned spirit, he had to stay inside the illusion beast town.

“…….again a new summon spirit.” As expected of Danbalf. Sometimes spirit training in the illusion beast town causes one to be lost, like that there is no change. (no clue about this sentence) If that’s the case than it can’t be helped that he could not move.Ah, Danbalf sama. I want to see his face soon.”

The business was confirmation of the state of the room he had been using as a base. If it has not changed from before, she would be able to use it, accordingly she would also be able to spend a night there.

The tower of summoning had the same structure as the tower of magic. The inside of which was silent as the intangible magic light flickered as bright as the afternoon light. Mira narrowed at eyes a little at the radiance while she operated the elevator to go to the top floor. She considered regulating the quantity of light later.

It was different from the tower of magic in that it passes each floor as it passes by. When researchers were not found, she recalled the words the knights had said “It was the first time I have seen a summoner, they are unusual.”

The number of summoners had obviously decreased. Mira felt a certain feeling similar to that of seeing off a retired companion. She felt slightly disconsolate.
