Chapter 140: Mr. A's Mission
In an unremarkable house in Queens, the gathering of extraordinary individuals convened by Mr. A proceeded as scheduled.
Fors and xio, having changed their attire, accompanied Viscount Glaint , who wore an iron-black mask, into the hall. They casually found seats.
Before the meeting officially began, Viscount Glaint hurriedly wrote down his request for the attendant and prayed to the goddess, hoping someone would respond later.
Fors, as usual, appeared lazy and unusually wore a hood, shadowing her face.
At this moment, Mr. A, sitting on a single sofa with an exaggerated hood, spoke in a hoarse voice:
"I have a task. Help me find some people who believe in the so-called 'Fool.'"
This request had appeared at Mr. A's gatherings before, but previously it was proposed by other members. This was the first time Mr. A himself issued this request.
"The Fool?" The extraordinary attendees discussed among themselves, some pondering the word alone, others whispering to their companions.
Someone asked aloud, "Wasn't there someone at a previous gathering looking for such a cult?"
Others murmured, "When did such an evil god appear?"
Hearing this news for the second time, Fors became instantly alert. At this point, Mr. A had an attendant hold up a blackboard with several words written in Loen language:
"The Fool who doesn't belong to this era;
The mysterious ruler above the gray fog;
The King of Yellow and Black who controls good fortune."
As expected... Fors suppressed her thoughts, trying not to show any abnormality, and continued listening to Mr. A:
"Do not read the content above in Hermes language. Giant language, Elvish, Dragon language, and ancient Hermes are even more forbidden. Don't even write the corresponding descriptions in these languages, or terrible things are likely to happen.
"Help me find those who believe in the 'Fool.' Of course, they might also follow 'the mysterious ruler above the gray fog' or 'the King of Yellow and Black who controls good fortune.' As long as you obtain any clue, inform me immediately. The reward I offer will be beyond your imagination!"
Indeed, he's looking for Mr. Fool... Fors lowered her head in contemplation.
The last time someone mysterious sought Mr. Fool, according to Miss "Destiny," it was a test from Mr. Fool himself, and that person didn't provide Mr. Fool's honorific name...
This time, Mr. A gave the accurate honorific name, and Mr. A represents the Aurora Order behind him. Mr. Fool and the Aurora Order are enemies...
As she pondered, Fors overheard a gathering member remarking to his companion:
"This description... sounds like a formidable being. I've only seen similar titles in the scriptures of the seven deities!"
His companion shook his head and said, "Many cults worship objects with similar descriptions."
"Is it really a cult organization?" Another gathering member blurted out in surprise upon hearing their discussion.
Amidst the discussions, a gathering member well-versed in mysticism made the final judgment:
"It should be. Generally speaking, the spirit world beings we summon might also have such three-part descriptions, but one part must be 'favored by so-and-so' or something like 'exclusively belonging to so-and-so's what.' It wouldn't be in this form!"
Fors, having experienced something similar before, calmed down and began to seriously recall if there was any possibility of her joining the gathering being discovered.
Apart from xio, no one knew she had recited that incantation... Oh, no!
Fors suddenly turned her head towards Viscount Glaint .
The book containing the paper with this honorific name came from Viscount Glaint 's study!
xio seemed to have thought of this issue as well, looking at Viscount Glaint almost at the same time.
Viscount Glaint clearly hadn't realized this. He was still looking at the blackboard, muttering to himself with interest:
"This honorific name is rare.
"But it sounds very powerful!"
He turned his head, about to say something to xio and Fors, but found them both staring at him with strange looks. He couldn't help but ask:
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing, nothing," xio and Fors shook their heads repeatedly, answering in unison.
...
At night, Klein, who was about to chat with Alger about their 50-pound friendship, suddenly heard layers of prayer voices. While thinking "What's happened to Alger again?", he took four steps backwards and arrived above the gray fog.
—There's no choice, he can't really ignore it, can he?
After confirming that the flickering deep red star didn't belong to Alger, Klein felt inexplicably relieved.
... Something seems off here?
Klein's mouth twitched twice. He stopped his random thoughts and extended his spirituality to listen to the content of Fors's prayer.
After hearing the news brought by Fors, Klein sat up straight, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"The Aurora Order knows about the 'Fool'? They know my honorific name? Has the 'True Creator' locked onto me?"
After these panicked thoughts circled in his mind a few times, Klein ruled out the last possibility.
If the "True Creator" had really locked onto him, the Aurora Order would probably come to check the water meter... oh, in this era, it should be checking the gas meter.
At that time, he would not only be able to see the legendary Mr. A, but might also receive the honor of a Saint's personal visit. He wondered if he could catch a glimpse of the Angel on Earth... Why does this way of speaking sound so much like Alice?
Feeling as if he had been infected, Klein frowned, replied to Fors with a "Don't worry about it" as before, and then pulled Alice up.
—Indeed, there's no need to worry. The one who should really be concerned about this is Bernadette, who is searching for the Fool's believers.
Klein relayed Fors's words verbatim to Alice, and finally said, "... I feel like I've been infected by you somehow."
Alice looked at Klein in confusion.
Klein honestly recounted his earlier thoughts.
After pondering for a moment, Alice asked:
"But isn't that very honorable?
"A Saint personally coming to kill you! You're only at Sequence 7 now! A Saint personally coming to kill a Sequence 7, what great treatment!"
Klein's mouth twitched, looking at Alice with words on the tip of his tongue.
Alice continued: "You're still not daring enough to imagine. What's an Angel on Earth? If you try hard, strive for the 'True Creator' to personally descend..."
"... That's enough," Klein interrupted her impatiently, "So what do you think the situation is? Why would the 'True Creator' suddenly start looking for the 'Fool'?"
Alice pouted and said: "First the Son of God, then Lanevus, it would be strange if the 'True Creator' didn't come after you..."
