Volume 2 - CH 14

A little bit after appraising the treasure of the 10th Demon King,

“It’s true that you found a tool to create God’s water!?”

Liza jumped into the room of the super special class.

It looked like she was really excited.

“That’s true, Chrono found it easily.”

“Is it Chrono’s discovery? I thought it was too early!”

Listening to my classmate’s report, Liza clung to my body with a joyful voice. She was still a demon king with an intense skinship.

“Did Liza come to see the God’s water generator?”

“That’s right! I’m also working as a scholar, so I wanted to see the new treasure, and when everyone came back from the dungeon and seemed to take a break, I came to peep. But…”

After saying that, Liza looked around and tilted her head.

“Why are you guys staying here instead of resting or going out when the dungeon search is over?”

Certainly, after exploring the dungeon, it’s normal to go to the cafeteria, go out to the city, and enjoy your free time. However, the situation was different this time, and all my classmates remained there. Because…

“That’s right… We found God’s water generator, so I gave it to sister Lumiere, who seems to need it.”

“Ah, already! How should she use this!”

“I don’t know how to use it like this. It’s a something that gets everyone guessing.”

The Demon King’s heritage did not come with instructions. The appraiser appraised the function, but it did not explain it.

So, you had to read and look up the material to find out how to use it.

This was also the case.

For more than ten minutes in the hands of Lumiere, we were researching “God’s water generator” by bringing books from the library.

Still, we didn’t know how to use it.

“Ah, that’s the state. It’s hard for someone who doesn’t know how to use it, use it at a glance.”

“Do you know what it is Liza?”

“Well, unfortunately, the materials I looked up didn’t describe how to use it. That’s why I came to see it.”

So that’s it. Even the modern Demon King didn’t know. In that case, it might be necessary to shift to finding ways to use the treasure. When I was talking to Liza,

“Oh, Liza. Just in the right place. Please you can see it too.”

Lumiere walked in here. and,

“Yes, look Chrono.”

She handed a bottle to me.

“Huh? Lumiere, why are you giving it to me?”

“Well, because Chrono is a pharmacist, right? So, I wonder if you know something.”

Lumiere said such a thing with a straight face, but I’m not a pharmacist even though I am a good apprentice.

“I was helping my parents, so I’m familiar with herbs and medicines, but I’m not familiar with these tools, right?”

That’s why I gave it to Lumiere immediately after the appraisal. That said, Lumiere shook her head.

“Still, I think it’s better for an amateur like you than to worry about it anymore. You might know something if you look at it with Liza.”

“That’s right, Chrono. I’ll reinforce Chrono’s knowledge, so tell me if you notice anything!”

And Lisa came to appeal by pop-banging her chest.

Well, if the support is so generous, let’s just observe and say what we noticed. With that in mind, I looked at the bottle.

“Well, this kind of equipment… It must have an explanation somewhere.”

It was made long ago. I looked at the bottle while wondering what it would be like because it was the equipment of that time. Then,

“Is that it?”

There was an engraving on the bottom of the bottle It was an engraving that combined various figures such as squares and circles. And…

“Oh, I’ve seen it in ancient documents. It’s an ancient character of the Demon King system.”

Liza, who was looking sideways, made such a remark.

“Ancient characters?”

“Yeah, the 10° Demon King lived hundreds of years ago. The characters used at that time were ancient characters. But it’s difficult to find out. It’s difficult to decipher and the data is incomplete.”

Liza explained it to me, but I had no choice but to bend my head, because…

“No, you can read this normally, you know. It’s an explanation that says: ‘Put water in, then it will become God’s water.'”

“Is that so?”

When I said that, their eyes were rounded.

Not just Liza.

All the classmates around me were silent with their mouths open.

What was this reaction? Did I have said something wrong? With that in mind, Liza was the first to break her silence and speak to me.

“Ah … uh … Chrono, can you read it?”

“Well, it’s written here, isn’t it?”

“No, it only looks like a figure with a square and a circle overlapping.”

“That’s the letter. I was taught by an old lady in my countryside while I was in school… Liza, why do you turn your eyes white?”

“Well? The ancient language of this era is something that every researcher is struggling to find out. The tenth Demon King improved the language in a tuned manner, and the number of words and meanings has increased tremendously. I wondered why you were taught to read it.”

Liza’s eyes asking me were becoming a little more serious.

I wonder if Lisa is interested in that kind of thing because she is a scholar.

Well, it’s not something to hide, so let’s explain it normally.

“Because this is a local dialect of ours. I was told that it’s better to use ordinary words because it’s hardly transmitted outside.”

“Ho, dialect… this is!?”

“Yes, I use it when my grandmother and old man make fun of me.”

I have the memory that I learned by memorizing it hard because it was embarrassing being mocked by grandpa and grandma in this language.

Then Liza put her hand on her forehead and sighed.

“No, I mean. I’ve always thought that Chrono’s countryside was crazy, but I’ve never thought it was as crazy as it is today.”

“It’s pretty rude. My hometown is decent.”

Well, to see how surprised this area is…

“Maybe you couldn’t read it?”

When I asked again, Liza shook her head.

“No, no, I think it’s good. Yeah, being able to read ancient languages is one of the great skills. Hey, everyone!”

With Liza’s cry as the starting point, the friends who had been solidified from earlier begin to talk at once.

“That’s right. It’s still amazing, Chrono.”

“Yeah, Chrono is not only savvy, but also academically good.”

“I wonder if my head and body have been trained to the extent that they are incomparable to the past…”

Sophia, Yukino, and Lumiere were talking with their mouths wide open. Until then, but…

“Yeah, Chrono. It’s hard to say in words … it’s amazing, you.”

There were also subtle air pockets starting to form with the other classmates.

This time, I should not be at fault. How did this happen?

I think it just happened that this dialect is an ancient language, so I hope you don’t see such an amazing thing.

“Well … yeah. I think it’s okay because the problem has been solved. Sister Lumiere.”

“Well, that’s right. That’s really … Thank you.”

Although there were many things. It was true that I knew how to make God’s water, and I thought it was really nice to see Lumiere’s relieved face.
