Chapter 111: Stillness (1)
By chance, Mira had run into Sasori in the back alleys of Irene, the capital city of Roseline. The two went to Sasoris inn, a large building made of solid rock which offered a safe place to talk in secret.
The city had four major commercial districts, Sasori and Hebi had stationed themselves in one built next to the major street in the biggest district. Though as far as Mira could see, Hebi was still not back for the night.
They were in the room at the end of a hallway on the third floor, Sasori and Mira sitting with a table between them while Mira explained everything she had found out about the sword.
The sword they had obtained from Chimera Clauzen was indeed made by Gregor as a congratulatory gift for his son Gregorius when the archeological re
I see that building you mentioned does sound like a fishy place.
There was a suspicious building managed by the Melville Corporation, who already had a connection to Chimera Clauzen. On top of that, a guard had gone from that building to an underground store to sell something he claimed came from the Graveyard of War Memorials.
Putting all that together with the information gathered from Sasori, a devilish smile overtook Miras lips.
Its close, I can smell it. Can you feel it too?.
Thinking about it for a bit, Sasori also reached a similar conclusion as Mira.
But still, Ive never seen a place more guarded than that. With enough time I might be able to sneak in, but I dont even know the interior layout
There was no one more skilled than Sasori at infiltration in the Fifty Bells, but even she felt unsure with all the unknown variables surrounding that building, so she was hesitant to proceed.
As far as Sasori had seen, the entire area was under heavy surveillance at all times, and they even had magic alarms set everywhere that would go off if they detected an intruder. It was hard to imagine a way to get inside unseen.
Surveillance and magic, huh. Now that that sounds so fun!
Sasori was deeply concerned, and Mira was the exact opposite as she stood up excited.
Its time, and I didnt even have to wait that long. I can finally try that out now.
Mira said with a crazed grin as she formed a Rosario Summoning Circle.
Close their eyes, ears and mouths. My only desire, to become a transparent lull, unbeknownst to any reaction.
Calming stillness and solitary silence are my only companions, my body one with the nameless wind.
Plunge all creations into the depths of silence.
Summoning Magic: Silent
Once the magic activated, the summoning circle vanished without a sound, leaving only dust behind.
Huh? You summoned something, right?
It almost looked like the spell had failed, but this was Mira casting it, there had to be something somewhere. Sasori looked around the room trying to find anything that might have changed, but then noticed that Mira was gone.
Wait, Mira? Where are you?!
Her sudden vanishing put Sasori in a frenzy, who desperately searched throughout the entire room for her, but unable to find her she hung her head and cried Mira in a quivering murmur. Seeing Sasori like that, Mira grinned triumphantly.
Im right here.
Hearing Mira she turned around and quickly shrieked Fwha-?. Mira had appeared right behind her, even though she was sure no one was there, and on top of that someone she did not know was standing beside her.
Hello, Im Worthramble, a spirit of stillness.
Worthramble smiled in a friendly manner as he introduced himself to Sasori, who stood in shock with her tail fuzzed up and standing upright.
The summoning had not failed, instead, Mira decided a demonstration of the spirits power would be a better way to explain her plan. Mira then explained the powers of a spirit of stillness in simple terms.
They had formed a contract not too long ago, so his abilities were a bit limited. Though his standout ability, Perfect Suppression, could be used from the get go. Perfect Suppression could hide ones physical appearance, sounds, presence, and even magic profile.
Its effects extended to an area of around three meters around Worthramble.
Not even ones comrades would be able to see those inside the area, though if Worthramble was told beforehand he could make certain people notice them. And if they were inside the area, it was possible to talk with each other as well.
Technically were still hidden, but hes letting you see us right now so we can talk.
