Chapter 2: Profane Land

Splash!

A man’s face broke the surface of a lake in the middle of a forest. He turned to the shoreline and waved an arm. “Boss! Boss Lady! There isn’t a single person inside! The place is empty!”

“Got it! Thanks, Fisher! Come on back up!” Mash shouted back.

In the end, Elciel never emerged from the sunken wreckage of Navarra. Neither did the other jailers and research personnel who should have been onboard as well. It made no sense at all. Adel’s group had decided to investigate when the sun came back up and they could see again.

Thanks to part of Fisher’s body having been replaced with that of a snake monster through Navarra’s experiments, he could stay underwater for longer and swim faster than the average person. There was no one better equipped than him for underwater exploration, and so the task had fallen on his shoulders.

“Yessir! Oh, and, heh heh heh, I helped myself to a little something!”

Fisher produced bottles of wine that had been tightly sealed, as well as cheese, sausage, and other edibles that were none the worse for wear after having been submerged in water for a night.

“Hell yeah! Nice job, Fisher!”

“You did a great job for once!”

“It’s time to party! Whoo!”

“I can’t even remember the last time I had a drink! Damn, this is so good!”

“Bro, you’re drinking water...”

“Don’t tell him! If he can’t even tell the difference, this wine would be wasted on him! Bwa ha ha ha!”

“You might be right, but...you’re drinking water too.”

Mash watched the former slaves erupt into merrymaking, and sighed. “Geez. What a ruckus.”

“A little fun never hurt anyone,” Adel smiled wryly. “What bothers me is the fact that there was no one in the Moving Coliseum. It’s safe to assume someone helped all of them escape.”

“You think it was Elciel’s doing?”

“Who else? I’m absolutely sure she’s still alive. That said, there’s nothing we can do about it if she’s not here. We’ll have to kill her another time.”

“What about Cerberus? Think he can help track Elciel down?”

“I’ve been trying to talk to him, but he’s not responding. He’s definitely still inside me, but I think he’s in a really deep sleep. He must have been really wounded.”

“I see. Say, Adel. What’re you going to do now? You have anywhere to go?”

“I’m returning to my liege’s side. Fortunately, we should still be in Wendill. I’ll make my way out of this forest and head for the royal capital.”

“Who is your liege anyway?” Mash asked.

“Princess Euphinia of Wendill. She is high-minded and wise, never puts on airs, and treats everyone with kindness. As if that isn’t enough, she is an extremely talented Saint!”

“The princess?! So you’re a knight directly serving the royal family?! No wonder you’re so good at fighting!”

“Well, that’s not quite right... I am the Princess’s escort knight, but not right now.”

“What does that mean? Are you trying to restore your name and regain your place after having been framed for something?”

“No, that’s not it. Hmm, I guess you could say.
