Chapter 108 - Chapter – 108 (Situation of Orario)

(*A/N: Here goes 3/3 chapter of this week. Please Enjoy.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Primis: Since even you were looking for me, this means the situation is Orario is very serious.

Ryuu: H-Huh? Ah. Y-Yes.

Ryuu was in her thoughts when Primis told her his name. But his words interrupted her thoughts. Then Ryuu expressions became serious as she continued.

Ryuu: Yes. Ever since you destroyed the Ishtar Familia and sent Ishtar back to heavens, some Gods are demanding Guild to hand you over. But since no one knows your name, your Familia or the people that are affiliated with you, but it was all in vain.

Mikoto: That's not the only thing.

Mikoto spoke for the first time. Before she thought that it will be very difficult to even approach "The Black Swordsman" let alone talk to him. But now she realizes that she was wrong. Even though he remains silent most of the time, he still listens to everything and give his views in certain things. He is completely different than how people describe him.

Mikoto: They have the backing of the Nobles too.

Ryuu: Mn. When Nobles failed to find the perpetrator responsible for the annihilation of more 17 lineages, they decided to choose a scapegoat so that they won't lose their face in public eyes. That time they were approached by these Gods and...…...

Mikoto: They chose you as the scapegoat.

'Primis: Well, I guessed that much.'

[Hahaha. They are only thinking of you as a scapegoat. I wonder what their face will be like if they know that it was really you responsible for that. Just thinking about it makes me want to laugh out loud.]

Mikoto: Now along with Nobles Troops, Familia members of those God roam free in Orario. They make the lives of other people difficult in the name that they are looking for you. Now even civilians have started to hate you thinking you are responsible for their predicament.

Primis: Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

Mikoto: .........…

Ryuu: .............

Primis: If they feel comfortable by putting blame on me, then let them.

Ryuu and Mikoto became silent when they heard Primis answer.

{Sheng Ming: Husband.}

{Primis: It's alright.}

{Sheng Ming: Mn.}

Now that Sheng Ming is Permanent-Member, she can also talk with Primis in mind. By the way, Primis is not alone. Ophis is still sitting on her favorite spot i.e., his left shoulder and Sheng Ming is walking on his right while holding his hand tightly. But neither Ryuu nor Mikoto can see them while they are following behind.

Primis didn't force them to show themselves either. The reason why Ophis started to hide herself is because of what happens in Entertainment District. Ever since Haruhime jumped at her and those Nobles look at her with disgusted eyes, Ophis decided to not show herself in front of others except for Primis and his other Permanent-Members. The reason because she knew next time, she will directly kill these kinds of people without even asking Primis. And if someone like Haruhime came again then Primis will stop her from killing them. So, instead of becoming depressed that time it will be better to remain hidden.

As for Sheng Ming, well as a Goddess of Life she unconsciously emits the aura of Life. Because of that and along with her appearance, it makes people wants to approach her and get close to her. That's also why she decided to hide her presence too. So, currently even Gods can't detect her unless they will release their Arcanum let alone others. That's also why they decided to talk in mind when there are other people around them. But if Primis will told them too then they will show themselves without any word.

{Sheng Ming: So, that's what an elf looks like. Huh}

{Primis: Did you sense something?}

{Sheng Ming: Yes. I feel the power of nature from her.}

{Primis: I see.}

When Primis was done talking with Sheng Ming, they reach the river near which Lili and Haruhime are sleeping. Both Ryuu and Mikoto took a sigh of relief seeing that. They wanted to approach but seeing how comfortable they are sleeping after all that struggle for the last month, they decided to not disturb them and just look at them from the distance.

Primis: When did you meet Haruhime, Mikoto?

Mikoto: I didn't. I saw her when they both are escaping the Orario. I want to follow them, but Ryuu stopped me and told me about the whole situation.

Primis: I see. Then why did Lili and Haruhime escaped Orario in the first place.

Mikoto: That's......

Ryuu: Let you tell you.

Primis: *nod*

Ryuu: We are not the only ones who got suspicious of Lili and Haruhime. One day when Lili and Haruhime left the "Hostess of Fertility" they were approached by some greedy Nobles troop. They said that both are suspicious of stealing money from the barracks. So, they need to follow them for investigation. Of course, they both denied. As a result, those soldiers started to use force and then Lili and Haruhime killed them. At that time, there was a civilian present on the scene who witness everything. At first, he remained silent but then Nobles put a bounty on them saying whoever provide the information on them will be rewarded handsomely. You can guess the rest.

Primis remain silent and look at Mikoto. Mikoto seeing his gaze look down and clenched the hold of her katana. She started to wonder again whether these kinds of people she wants to help. Primis keeps on looking at Mikoto for sometimes than remove his gaze from her.

'Primis: I am sure both Lili and Haruhime would have detected that civilian too.'

[I agree. Looks like even though they can now kill other Adventurers or Soldiers but still they can't bring themselves to kill a civilian.]

'Primis: This will serve as a good lesson for them.'

[Agreed.]

Ryuu: The main reason why situation became such serious is because Guild didn't make any move. They neither helped them nor stop them. They decided to remain neutral.

Primis: What about the three strongest Familia's?

Ryuu: Freya Familia remain silent as always. Hephaestus Familia tried to help some but since they are not a fighting Family, they can't do much. As for Loki Familia, well they have their own problem to handle.

Primis: And that is.

Mikoto: Sword Princess is grounded.

Primis didn't show any change in expression when he heard this. By this response, he can already tell that in the last month Ais emotions stability must have gotten worse.

[It's a good time for you to go and pick her.]

Primis: What happens exactly?

Ryuu: We don't know much but from we have learnt. Loki Familia was approached by the Nobles and the Familia's to join them in their endeavor. Of course, they disagree. But then something happens, and "Sword Princess" attacked them. Even though no one was killed, how could Nobles let go of this matter.

Mikoto: They forced the Guild to make the move.

Ryuu: Yes. Guild has a policy that no Adventurer is allowed to attack civilians. That's also why civilians can live without fear. Even though some civilians decided to remain silent if Adventurer hurt them, Nobles are different. All of them joined together to demand their so-called Justice. Not only that even the other Familia's also joined them.

Mikoto: I still remember how the entire area around the Guild was packed with Nobles Troops and the Familia's. They won't let anyone to enter or leave the Guild. They even blocked the roads stopping everyone. Merchants also take the advantage of this situation and joined them. As you know how reasonable the prices of materials are in Guild, so merchants won't get much profit in their business in Orario. So, how could they let this opportunity go.

Ryuu: In the end, Guild have no choice but to make a move. But they just can't suppress the strongest Familia. In the end, Ouranos give his verdict that Loki Familia must pay the fine to those they have hurt. As for "Sword Princess", she can't enter dungeon for the next 1 Year.

[Woah. Ouranos really attack where it hurts the most to Ais Wallenstein.]

Ryuu: Loki Familia accepted but that's not the case for the "Sword Princess". She went berserk.

Mikoto: Yes, I have also seen a huge tornado of wind magic that was released from Loki Familia residence from afar.

Ryuu: Mn. Even though the information got suppressed, we learnt that all the Elite Members of Loki Familia joined together and stopped her. Then we never saw her again leaving the residence. It appears that she is grounded till she calms down.

Primis remain silent.

'Primis: Something is wrong. No matter how much Ais condition become worse she won't attack a civilian let alone Nobles. Because she must know what consequences her actions were led to.'

[Looks like "Will of the World" made its move.]

'Primis: Why?'

[As I told you before, every world as a Will. The Will then choose a Hero or Heroine to correct the world. During their journey, it also makes things difficult for them. Once they clear these difficulties, they become stronger and so on.]

'Primis: That's what happened here. Huh.'

[Yes. Realizing that the condition of Ais Wallenstein is becoming worse it must have decided to make its move. First, it sent a Noble in Loki Familia for help. If we go by normal Scenario, it's impossible. Nobles know that Loki Familia is one of the strongest Familia and they will refuse to join them from the beginning but still they go.]

'Primis: Second, a Noble must have proved Ais. If it was normal scenario again, then Ais won't have attacked but the "Will of World" again made its move and hence Ais attacked them.'

[Third, it made Ouranos give such an order which Ais Wallenstein won't accept. The result, she went berserk, and the remaining members must stop her. Now, she is grounded.]

'Primis: Then if we go by another normal scenario then. After being grounded for some time Ais will start to calm down. She will start to ponder about her actions and will realize how wrong she was. About how her Familia is always helping her; how she was behaving like for the last month.'

[Shouting at them, attacking them and so on. In the end, she will feel guilty and will apologize for her actions. Of course, her Familia members will forgive her when they realize that Ais Wallenstein has returned.]

'Primis: That way not only their relation will return back to normal, but their bonds will also be stronger than before.'

[That means it will be impossible for you get your hands on her unless you decided to erase her memories and take her. The same you are planning to do with Eina if she decided to stand against you.]

Primis: How long it's been since Ais got grounded.

Ryuu: It's almost 13 days.

[You only have a day left then. Once two weeks are over even a mad person will start to calm himself down. You need to get to her before she calms down.]

Primis: Are there some rooms available in your dormitory?

Ryuu: H-Huh? Yes.

Primis then walk towards the Lili and Haruhime. Tree removed their leaves from them automatically when they saw Primis approach. Ryuu and Mikoto become stunned seeing this. They have never seen such friendly trees before. Primis picked both Lili and Haruhime in his arms. Sensing his same warmth again both snuggled in his embrace. Then he turns and look at Ryuu.

Primis: Let them rest in your Dormitory then? I will talk with Mia.

Ryuu: O-Ok.

Primis: Let's go.

Primis then turned and walk towards the direction of Orario with Ryuu and Mikoto following behind. It feels as if the forest become sad seeing Primis departure. Sheng Ming seeing this show a sad smile then send a wisp of her Life energy in the ground.

'Sheng Ming: We will return again so don't worry.'
