Chapter 359: Invitation Letter – (3)
The sky is burning bright red.
It is the remaining embers of the invader that came from the Black Moon that got beaten up by the White Great Sage Momo and the Crimson Witch Rosalie-san.
“Hieeee!”
A small shadow jumped out from the ever burning fire.
““[Teleport].””
Momo and Rosalie-san easily catch that black shadow.
“S-Save me! I won’t come to this planet again!!”
The invader priest’s body had become completely small. It is a tenth of its original size.
He is now the size of an infant monkey.
“Should we kill him just in case?” (Momo)“Hieee!”
Momo ignored his plea and was trying to finish him.
“Wait a moment! You…are you seriously asking us to just forgive you for free when you attacked the turf of someone else?” (Rosalie)
Rosalie-san stopped it.
Does she have an idea?
“F-For free…?”
The black priest that had his back collar grabbed was trembling profusely.
He really is just a child monkey.
“Come on~, show your sincerity. Sincerity.” (Rosalie)
Rosalie-san is a yakuza.
“T-This is as much as I can do…”
The black priest gave out a small black key.
It is letting off an ominous miasma, so it is most likely a cursed tool.
“What’s this?” (Rosalie)
“It is a magic key that opens the gate to go to the Black Moon! If you have this, you can go to the Black Moon anyti—”
“I can go to the moon anytime though?” (Rosalie)
“No no no! It is impossible for a mere mortal to go to the Black Moon—”
“But I go to the Red Moon often. Or more like, I have a house there.” (Rosalie)
“……Eh?”
The Black Priest opened his mouth wide.
Momo and I looked at each other’s faces when we heard that conversation.
“Hey, Momo.” (Makoto)
“What is it, Makoto-sama?” (Momo)
“Is the Red Moon a place you can just go to nonchalantly?” (Makoto)
“No… It may show up at certain cycles, but it shouldn’t be possible to go there casually… That’s a parallel world in its own right after all.” (Momo)
“Right…” (Makoto)
Rosalie-san is a free person. Or more like, isn’t this person alone living in a different dimension?
“Could it be that…the long eared mage that appears in the Red Moon is… Could it be that you are the wife of the Fire Emperor-sama?”
“We divorced, so ex-wife.” (Rosalie)
“Hieeeee! Please forgive me even if I didn’t know!!”
The Black Priest screamed.
I am beginning to feel bad.
“Rosalie-san, isn’t that enough?” (Makoto)
“Eeh, Boyfriend-kun~, we might get a pretty decently big magic crystal if we kill him.” (Rosalie)
“P-Please save me!! You won’t be able to get a magic crystal even if you kill me!! I am just a weak being that was born from the dreams of an Outside God King. Nothing will remain if I die, and I will just return to nothingness! Please! Mercy!”
“That’s enough, Crimson Thing. Come on, reflect for at least a thousand years.” (Momo)
Momo grabbed the back collar of the now small black priest and threw him towards the Black Moon.
Speaking of which, what do we do about the monster nest that I am levitating with magic?
I was thinking this, and the monster nest slowly fell in the direction of the Black Moon.
“I won’t come here ever again!!”
I heard that voice from afar.
So it is not ‘Just you remember this!’.
(Oh well, I am glad we safely fought him off.) (Makoto)
I thought we would struggle more here, but it seems like Rosalie-san and Momo would have no issues even against a Demon Lord tier enemy.
“Haah…”
I heard a sigh.
When I looked, Rosalie-san was staring at the black key she got without much excitement.
“What’s the matter?” (Makoto)
“Hmm, just something…” (Rosalie)
She seems to be wondering if to say it.
“Actually, I am currently searching for a big magic crystal… I thought that maybe I would be able to get it if we defeated the guy just now, but it looks like I missed the mark~.” (Rosalie)
“Some sort of circumstance?” (Makoto)
“The child of a friend of mine has a nasty disease. I need a magic crystal on the level of a Philosopher’s Stone to heal the body of that child~. Hmm, can’t be helped. Let’s search for it in Hell…” (Rosalie)
“You had such a thing going on…” (Makoto)
It was more serious than I thought.
“Crimson Thing…are you in your right mind? Hell is reckless even for you.” (Momo)
Momo is worrying seriously here.
“But I don’t have much time. Well, I should be able to manage with the upper stratum of Hell! Well then, I will be taking my leave he—” (Rosalie)
“Please wait!” (Makoto)
I hurriedly called Rosalie-san to a stop.
And then, I rummage through the small adventurer bag I have. I should have been carrying it around…
“What’s the matter, Boyfriend-kun?” (Rosalie)
“Is this good enough?” (Makoto)
““Eh?””
I gave a single magic crystal to Rosalie-san.
Rosalie-san and Momo opened their eyes wide.
“M-Makoto-sama, could this be…?!” (Momo)
“That’s a Philosopher’s Stone!” (Rosalie)
“I will give it to you if you are fine with it.” (Makoto)
“Makoto-sama?! You would be able to obtain enough gold for a lifetime if you were to sell a Philosopher’s Stone of that size.” (Momo)
“Where did you get it?! Wait, could it be that…” (Rosalie)
“It is the one I got when I went to the Demon Lord Grave of Spring Log.” (Makoto)
I worked together with Rosalie-san to fight the Demon Lords and the top brass of the Demon Lords, so she must have an idea.
“Can you save the ill child with this?” (Makoto)
“With one of this size, I think I will be able to, but…is it really okay to take it?” (Rosalie)
“Of course.” (Makoto)
I didn’t have any use for it anyways.
I will happily use it for the child of Rosalie-san’s friend since Rosalie-san has been of so much help to me until now.
“The magic crystal of the time when you defeated the Immortal King, huh…” (Momo)
Momo made a slightly complicated expression.
The Immortal King is basically the father of the vampires for the Great Sage-sama.
She returned to being a human, so her relationship with him is gone, but she probably has her thoughts about it.
The Crimson Witch-san looked at my face and the Philosopher’s Stone for a while, crossed her arms and went ‘hmm’, seemingly troubled here.
“Uhm, then…I will gratefully accept it.” (Rosalie)
She accepted it in the end.
And then, she grabbed my arm tightly.
“Thanks, Boyfriend-kun! You really are a nice man! Lucy really has a good eye!” (Rosalie)
She pulled me in just like that and hugged me.
“I am happy that you are.” (Makoto)
This person is really strong on the skinship.
“Hey, hey, by the way, are you interested in older ladies? Want me to become your mistress?” (Rosalie)
“R-Rosalie?!” (Makoto)
“Oi, Crimson Thing!! What are you saying?!” (Momo)
The mom of Lucy was hitting on me while still hugging me.
“I am really experienced despite appearances, so I could teach you a lot of things. Isn’t it the dream of a man to put a hand on mother and daughter?” (Rosalie)
“I-I am grateful for the offer, but…” (Makoto)
It is not my dream.
“I see. That’s a shame. Tell me anytime you change your mind, okay??” (Rosalie)
I was finally freed from her embrace.
“Makoto-sama won’t change his mind! Grrrrr…” (Momo)
Momo pulled my arm and intimidated Rosalie-san.
“Then, I will be going now.” (Rosalie)
Rosalie-san waved at the matriarch of the Heavenly Winged Folk.
“Already, Rosalie-san?! We still haven’t thanked you for driving off the moon monsters…”
“I want to use the Philosopher’s Stone quickly on the ill child.” (Rosalie)
“I see…”
Looks like the Matriarch-san can’t force her to stay because of the circumstances.
What a busy person.
It was then…
“Ah, Boyfriend-kun, it may not match a Philosopher’s Stone, but I will give you this!” (Rosalie)
Rosalie-san threw something at me.
“Woah.” (Makoto)
I catch it, so it doesn’t fall on the ground. The black key that the priest gave her before.
That’s when I remembered something important.
“Rosalie-san, here!” (Makoto)
I gave her an invitation letter for the wedding that was inside my coat’s pocket.
“Hm? What’s this?” (Rosalie)
“About that, it is an invitation for my wedding.” (Makoto)
“Eh?! For you and Lucy?! Hm? But the name…” (Rosalie)
“The one I am marrying is the princess of the Water Country, Sofia Rozes…” (Makoto)
Could it be that inviting Rosalie-san was a mistake?
But not saying anything after coming this far is just…
“Fumu, I see. Well, I will go if I can~.” (Rosalie)
“Yes, it is fine for you to attend if you can.” (Makoto)
She has to tend to an ill child, so I am sure she will be busy for a while.
“Then, see ya~?.” (Rosalie)
Rosalie-san disappeared using Teleport with a smile.
“We should get going as well.” (Makoto)
“Right.” (Momo)
“Eh?! Can’t the Great Sage-sama and the Water Country’s Legendary Hero-sama stay for a bit more…?”
The Matriarch-san stopped me.
“There’s a lot of other places we have to go.” (Makoto)
I would like to go to the North Continent at once -before the schedule of the White Dragon-san is filled.
“I see… That’s a shame.”
She really does seem sad about it.
“Ah, then, want to go too, Matriarch-san?” (Makoto)
I gave her a wedding invitation.
“Eh?”
The Matriarch-san opened her eyes wide.
“Uhm…Makoto-sama? You normally don’t invite people you just met to your wedding, you know?” (Momo)
“Is it okay for me to take this…?”
Momo and the Matriarch-san retorted.
(Makoto…) (Noah)
(Mako-kun…there’s no people like that even on Earth, right?) (Eir)
I heard the baffled voices of the Goddesses.
Hmm, so inviting someone I just met was iffy.
“Is it okay for me to go?”
“No, I am not forcing you to…” (Makoto)
I was trying to retract my statement here, but…
“No, I have been invited, so please allow me to participate!”
Oh, it doesn’t seem like she doesn’t want to go.
“Then, we will be waiting.” (Makoto)
“Yes! Also, is it okay to call my people of the Floating Continent as well? I am sure there are a lot of matriarchs who would want to attend the wedding of the Water Country’s Legendary Hero-sama.”
“That’s okay~.” (Makoto)
I answered.
Good, good. I should have gotten a good amount of people for the groom’s side.
“Then, a number of these.” (Makoto)
“Y-Yes.”
I gave her extra invitations.
“Is it okay…to increase the number of attendees that carefreely?” (Momo)
Momo sighed at my side.
Now now, isn’t it fine?
I am sure it will be more fun with more people.
“Then, let’s go, Momo.” (Makoto)
“Kay kay, Makoto-sama.” (Momo)
“Thank you very much, White Great Sage-sama, Water Country’s Legendary Hero-sama.”
The Matriarch-san lowered her head.
“Spirit-sans, Spirit-sans.” (Makoto)
I called the Time Spirits.
The Spirits turned my way.
Golden magic circles float in the air.
The Teleport has activated properly.
“Thank you very much!”
Momo and I were enveloped by light while the Matriarch-san waved her hand.
??
“Woah.”
“Wawa!”
The place Momo and I jumped to was an unknown place…or not.
“Hm? This is…” (Makoto)
“Makoto-sama, this isn’t the Demonic Continent, right?” (Momo)
It is as Momo says.
It is a big hall.
A lot of people are looking here.
Their reaction was quick.
“Who are you?!”
“Seize them!”
“They invaded the inside of the castle with Teleport?!”
“You have guts trespassing the Moon Castle!”
“Don’t let them escape!!”
We were surrounded in an instant.
“What are you doing, Makoto-sama?” (Momo)
“Hmm, I was thinking of the White Dragon-san while using Teleport though.” (Makoto)
“Let’s stop that wish style of yours… Please set the coordinates properly.” (Momo)
“No! I will master the Teleport that the Destiny Goddess-sama taught me!” (Makoto)
“What a pain of a fixation.” (Momo)
Momo and I chatted without worries.
We have a lot of acquaintances here after all.
“Oi, don’t just chat!”
“Wait…when I look closely at his face…”
“Hm? Isn’t it the Water Country’s Makoto-sama?”
“The one by his side…resembles the Great Sage-sama.”
“But she has black hair.”
“Then, it is not her I guess.”
No, you are right.
Looks like people who know our faces were here and there.
I was wondering who to call here and…
“What’s the matter? So noisy.”
The noisy hall…went silent.
The beautiful voice that rang had Charm magic in it.
People obey just from hearing that voice alone.
(Looks like we saved the trouble of calling her.) (Makoto)
“Oh, My Knight?”
“Excuse the intrusion, Princess.” (Makoto)
The one who was looking down at us with a dumbstruck face was the queen of the Moon Country, Furiae-san.
