I’m honestly surprised that the saint is there.
Actually, I’m surprised about her being awake. After all, I used my power to make it so no one except Chris could be awake in this space.
I know I’ve gotten a little weak, but regular people should still be unable to resist it.
I look at the saint, and see something I never imagined… No, something I’ve never seen before.
Name – (Mia) / Job – Saint / Level – (100) / Race – (Godlike) / Condition – (—)
What does godlike mean?
“H-hum, are you all right, Miss Eliana? Is there something wrong?”
Chris’ words make me snap out of it.
But I really am surprised. And the saint looks bewildered about me staring. I’m the one that’s bewildered here~!
I want to yell that, but I hold it back and cross my arms. Let’s check something first.
“Saint~… You’re human, right~?”
The saint makes a weird face after I ask that, but so does Chris.
Ah, I can tell by her face that Chris is really worried about me. I’m perfectly sound of mind, you know?
But then I notice my mistake. Of course she’s just going to be baffled by someone asking if she’s human.
Ah, but Sora might be able to see it, because he can use the Appraisal skill. He just sort of let it slip that he can use it.
It seems Sora has Chris’ full trust, but I feel like that might be dangerous~. Ah, someone once said love is blind, so maybe that’s it~. Who said that anyway~?
I think it’s best to leave it alone for now, and wait for Sora to wake up and check that. Chris said she doesn’t want Sora’s help either, so she needs to be ready.
But I’ve never even heard of this godlike race anyway… I guess it could have sprouted in this world while I was holed up here…
But then I notice something. Good job me! Well, it’s just a coincidence, nothing worth praising myself.
Looking at the saint, I feel a nostalgic presence, and a light flashes in my head.
The saint received a little bit of Eliza’s power because she was possessed by her. Probably.
So that’s why I feel a little bit of divine power in her. I can’t think of any other possibility.
I didn’t notice it before, but that was probably because I was relieved that the other two woke up without any issues.
After all, if that didn’t work, I would have had to overexert myself and use my power.
But should I check this?
“Saint, can you use magic right now~? It doesn’t matter which spell~.”
The saint looks at Chris, because it feels like my question came out of nowhere, but it looks like she will do it.
She casts the Holy Magic spell called Protection, and I focus my attention on it.
As I suspected, I feel a little divine power in that spell. It’s little to the point where I wouldn’t have noticed if I wasn’t focusing, but it’s divine power nonetheless.
“Miss Eliana, can you call me by my name instead of saint? I would prefer that.”
The saint says while I’m deep in thought.
I don’t know what to say, but then Chris tells me her name is Mia. Okay, Mia, I’ll remember it.
“All right~. So Mia, can I use a little bit of magic~? At this rate, it might end up being dangerous if something happens~.”
Mia looks anxious about what I I said, and Chris calms her down.
I figure I haven’t said enough either, so I explain that I’m just going to use magic to change what shows up when Appraisal is used on her, and why.
I tell her that her race changed to godlike, but if Sora tells me later that it was like that from the start, it’s going to be a little embarrassing for me!
Ahh, but I really feel like my power has gone down. I’m so tired from using my magic more than once. I can feel my body shrinking too.
I should have done this from the start.
I excuse myself, take the dagger made from Al’s fang, and stab it into the big tree.
Well, to be more precise, I had the big tree absorb it, but that’s what they see.
They raise their voices in surprise when they see me stab the dagger into it, and look surprised again when it disappears.
And as I watch the dagger disappear into the big tree, I feel strength slowly well up in my body. Yes, and it’s a little bigger too.
I wanted the dagger from Sora less as a memento, and more because I wanted Al’s power.
That should buy some time.
My power really has gone down. The fact that I only had one of what Sora calls holy tree fruit is proof of that.
Now I can restock them, but I can definitely feel Archa has become weaker.
At this rate, I can’t see a future where it isn’t destroyed.
That’s why I need the power of the other gods, who came down to this land and disappeared. I might need Mia’s power for that too.
I quickly gather my thoughts, and start talking, to get Mia to help too.
