There is a sphere over there.
Is the size around a basketball?
As for the material, it should be glass or crystal?
Although I do not know it well, it’s transparent, and the interior refracted by the sphere looks distorted.
Currently, the place I am at is the third level of the church’s basement.
It’s the place I have been bothered by ever since I came to the Imperial Capital.
A victory celebration for the recapturing of the fort is being held on the ground floor.
———-
The king is also participating in the victory celebration.
Although it’s the first time I’m seeing the king, I feel that he is a sober uncle with mustache and beard.
When it comes to the king, it’s a common impression.
Actually, while it’s not like there is anything special worth mentioning about good governance done, there isn’t any conversation heard about tyrannical rule conversely.
If the King accomplishes his duty in the present state, I wonder if it’s to the extent history books in the future will waste a few lines on him?
It’s indeed an ordinary king.
Well, for me who do not even know the characters for political rule, who am I to debate about ordinary and so forth? Although it’s foolish words, at any rate, my impression was so.
If I am given Ms.Rithina, he will be similar to my father-in-law.
What a catch, I think in my heart.
Apart from that, I met Rithina’s siblings for the first time too.
Well, it’s a full set of splendidly handsome men and beautiful ladies.
Money, power and looks too are all present.
The royal family of the different world is incredible.
Afterwards were the higher ups of the church, and the reverend father or something like that.
Coming around to greet me one after another, I am asked about the events at the fort.
In fact, it seems that reports were received on the events of the fort, and although I understand that that is not the main issue, I came to say the same thing over and over again mentally.
And despite that, Leon doesn’t show fatigue too, and let the conversation flow with a smile.
Hmm, what socializing power.
As too many people came, I cannot put my hands on the delicious looking cuisines forming a line across.
For this victory celebration, Sharon and Laurier did not come along.
Even if they come they will be nervous too, since it’s nothing interesting.
Nevertheless, due to drinking juice to hold the situation each round, my stomach became flabby.
Irresponsibly, Rithina summons me when I was starting to get fed up.
In this place, Leon and I were the center of attention, but it seems that basic greeting to us have ended, and now individually, we were not watched so closely as the greeting starts going around to other parties where benefits can be expected.
And from there, guarded by the escorting maid and butler, Rithina and I head down to the basement of the church swiftly.
There was a locked door along the way, but was preparations made before coming? We advance rapidly after opening it with a duplicate key or something like that.
Although there is no reason to oppose each other particularly, and the relation had been said to be good, but still it’s not possible to trespass the church normally, so how did you prepare it?
No, it’s not something I should be concerned with.
As Rithina promised me, she will prepare the arrangement.
I will thank her honestly.
And thus the 2 of us set foot upon the room in question, located at the middle of the third floor of the basement.
———-
What is this?
It’s my first impression.
Although I think I’ll understand the reason why I’m worried, looking at it in reality, I do not understand at all.
But still, I cannot take my eyes off the sphere.
Why am I worried about this?
“Haruto-kun. what you where bothered by, something like that, do you understand anything?”
“No, I’m sorry.
I was bothered by this sphere, that I know, but I do not know the reason why.”
Asks by Rithina from the back, I answered honestly.
“Is that so…..
When I investigated the situation here beforehand, I heard that this room was the place to hear the oracle of God.”
“Oracle of God?”
Oracle of God huh.
Actually, I do not know if there is a God, but it wouldn’t be strange for there to be such an existence if it’s the different world with magic.
That means, is this sphere a tool for divination or something like that?
Wanting to see it and investigate a little more, I approach the sphere installed in the middle of the room.
Since it’s not a joke if I destroy it by any chance, I do not touch it.
I try observing going around it’s circumference in a circle, but there is no particularly strange place.
It’s not possible to think that it’s just a glass sphere or something.
But at that moment, that sphere glows slightly.
I fall back at once.
What?
Just now, what did it react to?
Although I did not take my eyes of observing it, it glowed for a moment.
Presently, it has already returned to just a transparent globe.
