Chapter 893 893: Chain Dance

"Roger, Boss."

Somewhere in Luz city, a shadow was walking across a room; seemingly just having finished whispering to someone, but no other shadow but his was there. He walked toward the window, only for the colorful lights dancing on the walls of the brothel across his room to reflect on the visor covering his eyes.

And he just stood there, neither enjoying nor watching anything. He had his eyes closed, just seemingly waiting for something to happen.

And very soon, a voice came knocking from the door of his room.

"My name is Father Edmund. We have permission to break into your room," the words seeped from the outside and into his room, "But I much prefer for you to just let us in, traveling god."

"...You may come in." And as the shadow flicked his finger, the door of his room opened up; letting in the lights of the corridors to instantly fill his entire room with a dim yellow. His silhouette, however, still remained a shadow as it did not reflect any light at all... all except for the visor of his helmet, which showed Father Edmund and several of his knights entering the small room.

"I am going to ask you a question, traveling god," Edmund raised his hand, and as he did so, an orb of light emerged from his palm—no, it was not exactly an orb, but an eye that lit up everything in the room, revealing the man previously hiding in the shadows,

"If that is alright with you."

"Darkday."

"Hm?"

"You may address me as Darkday," the shadow moved—and even in the light, he was indeed just that, a shadow walking, "It is what people used to call me back in my home planet."

"That... is a very ominous name," Edmund breathed out as his wings protruded from his back.

"No," Miss Pepondosovich waved her hand, almost causing some of the flowers hanging around her neck to fall down, "This is just how this city is, it has been like this for thousands of years."

"It is truly curious how their technology does not seem to progress," Esme said as she looked around, "If it is as you say and the monsters halt their progress, should it not be the opposite? War is the key to progress."

"But they're not in a war, Miss Esme," Miss Pepondosovich tried to lower her voice as much as possible, but it was hard to do so due to the dancing crowd around them, "It's a massacre whenever monsters show themselves."

"Hm, a pity," Esme sighed, "I would have loved to see what sort of civilization could grow from this kind of environment where gods and monsters are ever present."

"Well, if you visit further into the endless land of Manirosa... you might just see more advanced cities," Miss Pepondosovich shrugged, "But really, don't you see the appeal of something like this!?"

Miss Pepondosovich then joined in on the people who were walking and dancing through the streets, making a sort of chain as they all sang a song fit for the eternal festivity they found themselves in.

"...I suppose they are already lucky to exist at all," Esme could really only nod as she watched everyone having fun. Miss Pepondosovich was gesturing to her to join the chain, but Esme just shook, "What about you, Master? Do you think—Master?"

Esme turned to look at Riley, only to see that Riley was in front of one of the many stalls in the bazaar.

"Master?" Esme blinked a couple of times as she tilted her head. She then glanced at Miss Pepondosovich for a bit, who also seemed to wonder what was up, and separated herself from the chain dance; the two of them, now approaching Riley.

"You found something interesting, Riri?" Miss Pepondosovich quickly scanned the items being sold at the stall, and aside from some trinkets and some small statues, there was really nothing that caught her eye — but something definitely did for Riley, as he was holding something in his hand,

"What's... that?" Miss Pepondosovich squinted her eyes as she looked at the figurine Riley was holding.

"This wooden figurine," Riley whispered as he turned the figurine to Esme,

"Does it not look like Aerith?"
