Toshiko and Naoki didn't really understand what I was talking about, I had to tell them with as many details as possible what was waiting for us...
"Do you know this famous labyrinth created by Daedalus?"
"Yes, I know that story!"
"Well, the elements that appear in this one can help us"
Toshiko understood quickly...
"You mean it can come into action..."
"Yes."
"But what are you talking about?" Naoki had not yet understood...
"We're talking about Ariadne and her famous helper."
CHAPTER 74
"Wait, am I not following you here?"
"In Greek mythology, Ariadne helped Theseus out of the labyrinth with her famous thread. I think the prophetess is going to use that outside help."
"Can we stop her?" Toshiko asked.
"A certain person told me that Ariadne only supports women. So it will be impossible for me to have her as my supporting god. And since Toshiko already has a god with her..."
"Then there's really nothing we can do..." Said Naoki
I looked at Toshiko with a terrified look.
"If Toshiko decides to detach herself from those gods maybe..."
"Yume!"
"This is a joke, of course I found a solution."
They answered at the same time.
"Really?"
"Yes, thanks to someone's help"
I then headed to our meeting place.
"Normally, he should be here!"
All of a sudden, a light appeared in the sky and totally dazzled me.
[I answered your call, what do you want?]
I found myself once again in the celestial cloak.
"Minos, it is a pleasure to meet you."
[What did you want human?]
"To warn you..."
Minos in utter incomprehension was surprised at my words.
"Your daughter Ariadne will betray you and fall in love."
[What are you saying?]
I had no idea who the prophetess was, but I made him believe she was a man anyway.
[Why are you telling me this?]
"You don't believe me, do you?"
[Well...]
"I knew it, that's why I'm offering you a pact."
[And what about this one?]
"Keep Ariane from coming here to the United States!"
[In what honor will I accept this request?]
"Surely you have received the soul of the deceased Humbaba... This demon was manipulated by this person who will also manipulate your daughter. She is extremely dangerous, and even if Ariadne is a goddess, there is a chance that she will die..."
[How can I believe you?]
I knew he would ask me this question.
"Simply because I have a book of revelations..."
[A book?]
"It's quite complicated to explain, but I can tell you that just like Humbaba, Ariadne will be manipulated."
Without boasting Ariadne must have seen my prowess with Aerosia. Perhaps she would be interested in the fourth paycheck in the United States. But if I can't get her here, the prophetess won't be able to use her.
[Sorry human, but I have to decline your offer. I have no proof from you]
"Never mind, you can let me go then, it will start soon..."
[What are you talking about?]
I was back on Earth again.
"Well?" My teammates asked.
I answered them with a simple smile.
[A restoration of justice had just been applied]
"Again with that kind of notification?"
"What does it mean?"
Lots of people questioned the response of these notifications.
[Notification log:
- Because of an action of injustice, the god Tyr has decided to block access to the United States for the goddess Ariadne]
"A what does that mean?"
Questions began to be heard from everywhere...
"If they want the answer, they'll have to push the detail button" I said quietly, but enough for my comrades to hear me.
