"Actually, it's not so bad. Sooner or later, humans have to walk independently, free from the guidance of gods.
Just like how children eventually leave their parents to live on their own.
Speaking of which, during my adventures I've actually had quite a few exchanges with many gods.
They… seem to mostly look forward to humanity's growth?"
Dainsleif's response to this was average.
"I hope so."
But no matter what, the three of them continued their exploration of Enkanomiya.
"I don't believe it! Worst case, I'll flip the entire Enkanomiya over! I don't believe we won't find it!"
The fiery fluffy little brother still maintained his enthusiasm for making a contribution.
Cid also felt somewhat powerless inside.
My dear fiery fluffy brother, the reason we can't find the Before Sun and Moon we're looking for—aside from the book having already been taken by someone else—what other reason could there be?
But forget it. Since Dainsleif doesn't believe me, I might as well build some rapport. Anyway, staying in Enkanomiya is quite comfortable.
A long-awaited adventure isn't a bad thing either.
No matter what, the large-scale ongoing drama of The Clingy Childhood Friend Won't Lose to the Cold Arrogant Blonde From the Sky was still continuously airing.
"Human! Don't let yourself be bewitched by that guy Dainsleif!
Although our Abyss Order is evil, we at least have a family business to rely on. We don't have to worry about food or drink.
He's purely an independent individual. Khaenri'ah's Twilight Sword may be very powerful, but wandering the wilderness alone is something that can't be washed clean!
And I haven't heard anything about him building any kind of force either. There's no future in mixing with him!"
Very well. Childhood friend attributes assessment: red-haired loli, worker bee, clingy, very good to me.
Heavenly drop attributes assessment: golden-haired arrogant beautiful young lady, fallen noble young lady, but very respectful toward me.
"I don't need…
You said that since we're adventuring together, we should eat together too?
Alright then."
The golden-haired heavenly drop was unexpectedly easy to understand.
"I won't hide it from you. I have prejudices against the gods of the Seven Nations, so I also have strong prejudices against their people.
But your identity is special. You don't belong to any of the Seven Nations, so I'm willing to communicate with you a little."
Mm. After opening up this new perspective,
the Original Demon's journey in Enkanomiya could also be said to be extremely smooth.
Although the fiery fluffy little brother was still fixated on finding that Before Sun and Moon that was probably impossible to find.
But Cid was still quite satisfied with this journey.
Once I get a little closer to Mr. Dainsleif, and he sees clearly that both I and the fiery fluffy little brother are honest people, that will be enough.
"Mr. Dainsleif, did you find any [Key Sigil]?"
"It should be behind the building."
"Hey! Human, I found it! Dainsleif's eyes are unexpectedly pretty good!"
"I'm not using my eyes to see. I'm just sensing. You fiery… Abyss Mage. If you don't want your brain, you can give it to a Slime."
"I…!"
"You can't beat him. Endure it!"
Cid was playing the daily role of peacemaker.
The daily life of adventure was:
Find an exploration project
→ Cid starts getting busy
→ Dainsleif and the fiery fluffy little brother start helping
→ The fiery fluffy little brother gets mocked by the prejudiced Dainsleif while helping
→ Cid soothes both sides' emotions
Now then, adventurer, make your choice!
Will you choose the clingy childhood friend, or the cold arrogant heavenly drop?
Or… will you take both?
"Damn it, why can't I find it!!!"
At this moment, the dear fiery fluffy little brother was still going crazy.
"Very obviously, your Abyss plan has already failed."
Dainsleif, on the other hand, seemed to be in quite a good mood.
"Relax, relax, fiery fluffy little brother. We'll find it."
Cid soothed the exploding fiery fluffy brother as usual.
