Chapter 48

A somewhat electronic voice resonated in my head at the same time, something connected in my mind.

What?

The back of my forehead grew warm and tingled.

It wasn’t an unpleasant sensation, but a mysterious one.

Without noticing my state, Luuluu exclaimed in shock.

"The Throne of the Gods! Isn't that the legendary place of the Mythical Continent!?"

Then Luuluu leaned forward as if to pounce on the map.

But something blocked her.

"Oh? Some magical pressure?"

"Voice, transfer registration? Did you hear that?"

"......No, a voice? Wait a moment, Lady Yui."

I took the outstretched hand.

As I moved away from the crystal pedestal, the map and the plate disappeared. At the same time, whatever had connected in my mind was cut off.

"Lady Yui, the existence of a gate inside a labyrinth is not uncommon. Just to move around inside the labyrinth—"

"Is this similar?"

"Completely different. The fact that you can go to the Throne of the Gods......"

Luuluu's gaze became a bit vacant.

"Lady Yui, please register. Probably only you can use it. If you go to the Throne of the Gods through transfer registration, it might cause problems."

"Mythical Continent? Because it's a legendary place?"

"At the Throne of the Gods, it seems that a god descends. Just meeting a god is said to power up humans and spirits."

I couldn't help but look at the spider on my shoulder.

A candidate for a holy beast, shaped like a spirit......

"Will it affect this one?"

"It will, there's a high possibility it will instantly become a holy beast."

Oh no!

Aria said that if it became a holy beast, she would die.

I don't know what will happen to Aria!

"Lady Yui, let's get out of the bath now. Please go out first. I'll check what happens to this crystal before I come out."

With a swish, I stood up from the hot spring.

"Cough"

It wasn't painful, but I coughed up the hot water as if it was painful.

"Hey! Are you okay, Lady Yui?"

Storl quickly patted my back and picked me up, looking confused.

"Lady Yui, don't you have the blessing of the water spirit?"

"No, this is a habit."

In the water, I didn't feel like I had drunk or filled my lungs with hot water. The water spirit must have taken care of it. When I came out of the water, the moisture disappeared like air.

Only the water I coughed up when I came out of the water remained in my mouth.

I myself didn't know what was happening.

But in the Nier family, I had to pretend to be in pain. So the spirit always adjusted for me.

"The Nier family's maids, they enjoyed, bullying me."

There was a crack. In Senri's hand, the bucket had shattered.

"......I apologize. I lost control of my strength."

"Um, so that's why you have the habit of pretending to be in pain?"

I nodded at Storl's question.

"Also, I thought there might be something in there that could hurt the spirits. The spirits' protection must not be known."

"Indeed, well done."

I blushed a little when the maid-in-charge, Endelia, stroked my head with a melting smile.

"By the way, where is Luuluu?"

"Ah! The bottom of the hot spring, gate!"

I turned around just as she was standing up from the water.
