Chapter 325 Yggdra?
Part 1
“*Keho, keho* Cough, cough………… Ah, aaah……” (Spirit People)
The captive Spirit People coughs and lets out a hoarse moan.
A slender and graceful body. Long light greenish hair tied back and eyes of the same color. Her glowing white skin is the very image of a Spirit People that humans think of. A pair of pointed ears peeked out from her hair, and her extraordinarily well-proportioned features tell us that her race is not human, even if she didn’t have her ear-specific features.
And, although I expected a little, her face was completely different from the person I had given the guide to. Their height is different, their voice is different too. Who the hell was that……
Lucia opens her eyes slightly as if she noticed something. But before Lucia can speak, Lapis says in admiration.
“This strong Magic power that circulates continuously from inside her body. And the color of her eyes??So this is the people of Yggdra, who live in harmony with nature and maintain the order of the world.” (Lapis)
Eh? Is that something you can tell just by looking at them? Are light green hair and eyes proof that you are from Yggdra?
I quietly check around me, but no one is voicing an objection. Tino even lets out a sigh of admiration.
“I feel the same kind of power that flows through the earth’s veins inside her body. Moreover, there is no stagnation at all. The power of Lapis and the others’ are clearly different from those of humans, but I never thought there was anything beyond that??” (Lucia)
“It is the pinnacle of static Magic. You can finally reach that state by assimilating with nature and honing your power??A power that is the exact opposite of Lucia’s power. I have never seen such a still Magic power??But when it reaches this level, her existence is more like a Spirit than a living being.” (Lapis)
Lucia frowns and Lapis adds as if being impressed. I would like to get my hands on a Relic that allows me to see Magic power so someday I can say something cool like that too.
Then, Eliza goes before the citizen of Yggdra.
And then, as she holds out her hand to the citizen of Yggdra who is coughing frequently as if a part of the Spirit has entered the back of her throat, she says.
“She’s probably…… The guide. We were supposed to meet further ahead…… That Spirit said that the world is approaching its destruction. What happened in Yggdra?” (Eliza)
Heeeh…… The destruction of the world, another dangerous thin??The destruction of the world?
I almost frown involuntarily, but manage to maintain a poker face.
Suddenly, I no longer want to go to Yggdra anymore. Seriously, Luke doesn’t have to be petrified at a time like this………… I wouldn’t mind listening to a small request, but this is clearly a project for Ark.
I want to shut myself up inside Mimic-kun and stay there, but there is a Spirit inside Mimic-kun. I’m checkmate.
“*Keho, keho* Cough, cough………… Hh!” (Yggdra citizen)
When I am upset without showing it to the public, the citizen of Yggdra finally calm down and look up over here.
Our eyes met. Her light green eyes are so clear that I feel like I can see deep into her heart when I look at them from the front. They are much more mysterious than the spherical Spirit.
As if she is puzzled, she checks her surroundings and her cherry-red lips open slightly.
“You people are………… I see. The people that are said to be coming from the outside??Right! What about Milles!” (Yggdra Citizen)
“That Spirit is safe. It regained its consciousness and took refuge in a safe place. The Spirit told us a brief story, but I want to hear the details. ………… What happened?” (Eliza)
I don’t wanna hear it thooo’. But it is not like I cannot not hear it.
As I put a badass expression on my face to keep my emotions from showing, Eliza takes my arm and thrusts it in front of the citizen of Yggdra as if to push me.
“He is Cry Andrich, the one who found the Cursed Stone. He is known as one of the wisest people in the Imperial Capital. If you talk to him, he might be able to find a solution.” (Eliza)
“!? Stop it, Eliza. I am no wise man. There is so much I don’t know.” (Cry)
I don’t even know why Eliza is giving me such an evaluation………… Maybe she is just saying random things like I do?
As I shrug my shoulders and assert my incompetence, the citizen of Yggdra looks me in the eye as if she is trying to see through my true intentions, but she gives a small nod and stands up.
“I understand. Originally, the discovery of Shero’s Cursed Stone is already a feat. It doesn’t matter which race you are. Besides, it seems that you have saved me. Normally, it is not something I should talk to humans about, but a debt must be repaid. My name is Serene………… I am your guide to Yggdra. I will tell you everything along the way. I will tell you all about the situations that Yggdra is currently facing that could lead to the destruction of the world.” (Serene)
Ah, so you are going to talk about it, huh…… I am just here to get Luke cured tho’, but it doesn’t seem like the right atmosphere to say that now.
I want to be a person who can say no when I want to say no like Liz and others.
Liz opens her eyes wide and says with an expression that seems to say it is getting interesting.
“Eh!? The world’s endiiing? What is it, what is it? I didn’t understand what the Spirit was saying at all!” (Liz)
Apparently, the person who can say no when they want to say no seems to be saying yes this time. It is because she wants to stick her head into danger……
Serene takes out the same guide that we have from her bag and hangs it by the string. The guide *kurukuru* spins around, *pitari* points in a direction and stops. It was as if the uncontrollable behavior it had up until now was a lie.
Eliza opens her eyes wide and pulls out her own guide. Just like the one Serene is holding, the guide points at one place and stops as if it were a matter of course.
“………… The guide is fixed.” (Eliza)
“………… If the guide went crazy, it would probably be due to the influence of Milles. It is because she is one of the most powerful Spirit in Yggdra??” (Serene)
“Wait………… Don’t tell me that near-divine Spirit can be used by the Magi of Yggdra!?” (Lapis)
I hear that Spirits are more difficult to contract in proportion to their power. I don’t know how powerful the Spirit I just met was, because I am easily defeated by any kind of Monsters, but it must have been quite powerful since it has withstood Lucia and the others’ onslaught.
Serene frowns disapprovingly for a moment at Lapis’ question, then shakes her head.
“………… No, we are just receiving her cooperation. In Yggdra, we have built a close relationship with the Spirits since immemorial times, so…… Normally, I have her in charge of guarding the forest??But as it has become dangerous these days, I asked her to follow me as my escort, but I would have never imagined that the guardian Spirit that has protected the forest for so long would lose herself like this…… It is unprecedented. It was completely unexpected.” (Serene)
“I see, completely unexpected, huh……” (Cry)
Serene looks at me when I unintentionally leak those words.
“……………… What is it?” (Serene)
No, nothing………… I don’t know what happened, but I just couldn’t help but ruminate on her words when I realized that the trouble this time was bad enough to drive the Spirit, who had protected the legendary country, completely crazy. It is no different from a simple “Ah” or “Um” or something like that.
Somehow, I look up at the sky. Although it has such a big name like the Drifting Road of the Divine Tree, the blueness of the sky is no different from the sky outside.
After a few minutes of looking up at the sky and escaping reality. I finally made up my mind and put back my regular face back on.
And then, with a big sigh, I check the people who have been silently waiting for me to finish escaping from reality one by one.
“………… No, it is nothing. For now, it looks like we don’t have much time left. I can’t easily promise that I will do something about it, but right now can I ask you to guide us to Yggdra.” (Cry)

TL notes:
Thanks for reading! Here’s the final extra chapter thanks to Chulbom and Satria.
For these 2 months, it is thanks to my pa$$ion that I could post an extra chapter every week XD
Thanks everyone for the ko-fi! And now I am going back to my regular schedule.
Cry looking at the sky after saying that Milles rampaging is unexpected was like him lamenting about his own geniuses and the fact that everyone is no genius like him.
Of course Cry, for the regular folks, a high-ranking Spirit rampaging is completely unexpected.
They are not like you who play 5d chess like nothing
Tchao à plus!
