Chapter 906 Part 1

ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 490: The Cause Is That the Shape of the Souls is Kind of Similar, But Their Wavelengths Are Slightly Different Part 1

Oh well, I guess I had no choice but to help Imron out a little bit here. And so, after thinking for a while I have come up with what was most probably the easiest and shortest possible route for the newly arrived at Rabbitz to encounter Vysache. Mainly: initializing and completing the Invitation to the Bunny Country questline. Once I was finished with explaining to Imron what’s what with that particular questline, she got up from the floor and went towards the Coliseum almost immediately and at a pace that was simply astonishing for a player like her…… Also, along the way she stopped only once in order to grab someone and carry on towards her destination. It was a bunny wearing an expensive—looking noble-like suit. Was that perhaps the one who offered to be her guide in this place?

Oh well, I guess that Imron has her own set of worries and things he needs to take care of, but at the same time I am me, and I have my own set of worries and objectives that I strive towards. And with that being said, it was high time for me to get a move on to get those matters settled. That’s right, let’s not forget why I came here in the first place! I need to meet Vysache and see if he has some new intel for me! Now, where could he possibly be? I think I once saw him around here, but…… What I saw when I arrived at that particular place was something that I did not quite expect……

「M-Meow…… Meow…… Meow……」

I witnessed Vysache being currently sandwiched between two Cait Seith, one of which had fur covered in horizontal white patterns which made it look really exotic and unlike any normal cat like I have ever seen before in my life. The other one had fur whose color and patterns made it look more like a tiger than the actual cat, and its fangs were laid bare as it was making strange noises and assuming a position that I can only suppose was to look intimidating. Seeing such a scene in a place like that was even more surreal than I thought it would originally be, even for a highly unusual place like this one to begin with.

「…………」

Somehow, I do get the feeling that the atmosphere in this place is not something that I would want to get involved in. Therefore, I do not want to get myself involved! Which calls for a sudden mask change! Let’s change my Bird Eye Mask to something less conspicuous and turn myself around. I muttered “Don’t mind me! Just carry on!” and was well on my way out of this place, when suddenly……

「I’m terribly sorry to say this, but I’m afraid that you are involved in this matter as much as those fellows are.」

「Huh? Seriously?」

Unfortunately for me, my presence was noticed and now when I was called upon I had no other way but to comply with the request to stay here. In situations like those ones I really regretted the fact that there is no universal way to weasel your way out of any unwanted situations. …… Huh? Emul!? You bastard! Don’t you dare to run away from here and leave me behind! I’ll get you for this later on! Don’t think that I won’t do that!

「B-B-B-Bird Person……!? What is he doing here……!?」

「Hm? Yes, that’s right, he is a Bird Person, alright. What’s up with that? Ah, could it be that the two of you are meeting for the very first time here?」

「It’s a pleasure to be finally meeting you, oh respectable Bird Person. My name is Treywil…… I am the current leader of Catzeria’s “Long-Shoed Knights”! And the one beside me is none other than the current Kingdom of Catzeria’s King, His Highness Nyai the Thirteenth!

「Please treat me kindly, meow.」

Whoa, for someone who is so important his personality surely seems to be rather polite and casual. But oh shit, how am I supposed to act in the presence of the crowned head? Am I supposed to say something here? Or maybe act in some specific way? I get a feeling that I should do something here, otherwise my head is going to roll as a result…… And at the current moment that option seems to be even more realistic than ever!

「–––––– Also, this fellow right here is Darunyata, Catzeria’s current best Jeweler. If you want to get some nice piece of jewelry done, then look for no one else.」

Huh? Darunyata? Why do I think that it is a fairly important name, one that I should be familiar with and should absolutely remember? Come on, brain! Get to work! Tell me what I want to know! Do I know this dude? Ohhh, yeah, that’s it! Now I am starting to remember! He should be the one who made all those high-quality accessories for me before! Mainly the Levin Trigger / Disaster Hand and the Lapistella Star Cloak! Yeah!

「…… So? Is there any possible explanation for the current situation? Why is this guy in a state that he currently is in? Because surely there has to be a reason behind that, right?」

It certainly feels as though the atmosphere here is not the one you would find at a normal party for some great personas from the upper echelons of society. It feels more like a typical plebeian feast where the participants are already filled to the brim with food only five minutes after the thing has started and are now desperately trying not to throw up……

「Oh, Sanraku? You’re here as well? Well, you see, we were just talking about the jewels that were used in order to create some of those items of yours. And it just so happens that this guy started to get a little bit too passionate about the things he was talking about.」

「Jewelry? You can get so passionate about something like jewelry? Or precious stones, to be exact?」

Ah, yeah, that’s right. I remembered that I once deposited a huge amount of precious stones with Caith Seith, but even though their numbers were certainly quite large, the number of accessories that I have received in return were not all that many. I guess they must have gone with quality over quantity. At first I honestly thought that it would have been quite a mess, but I’m glad that in the end everything turned out to be just fine……

「No, it’s not precisely about that. I would tell you more, but I’m afraid that now’s not the most fortunate time for that. If we start going into the details in here, I’m afraid that this guy is going to get so passionate about it that he won’t be able to stop himself from talking anytime soon……」
