Infos

Aided by her past-life memories, Sharon hoped to take down the mutinous cardinal attempting to summon L'lyeh, the Goddess of Darkness. An inadvertent encounter with the goddess herself left Sharon and her party fleeing for their lives. But even now that they've escaped, there's no time to rest! Sharon must still seek out her awakened job of Archbishop, break the deadly curse cast upon the rightful Pope Tithia, and hopefully save the Sacred Land of Erenzi from L'lyeh's clutches. Just as everything seems to be falling into place, a new encounter shakes everything up again, this time with...an angel?! At last, the time has come for Sharon to unravel the mystery of the Holy Maiden quest!

Textauszug

Paladins in Chains

With the satisfying kaplunk of a bamboo water feature for ambience, I was enjoying a soak in the hot-spring-fed bath. Tarte, Tithia, Cocoa, Mimoza, and I were crammed into the large tub included with our room. None of us were bothered by the tight quarters, though, as we enjoyed the warmth of the water.

We were staying in our go-to inn in Snowdia, famous for their in-room baths and good dinners. If the hot spring baths weren’t enough of a giveaway, parts of the inn’s architecture were Japanese inspired, although its overall theme remained medieval fantasy. Now that our party had grown to eight, we’d decided to get a boys’ room and a girls’ room, rather than share a room like we’d done in the past.

We had gone into Underworld Abbey in pursuit of Rodney Hervas—the usurper of Crystalline Cathedral—only to be thrown into L’lyeh’s boss room. After fleeing for our lives and surviving an encounter with a Hydra after that, we’d finally made it back to our inn, utterly exhausted. We wouldn’t have defeated the Hydra so easily if not for the Dragonrider who’d helped Kent and Cocoa on their journey and brought them back to us. The pair hadn’t told me much about the mysterious Dragonrider, but I was completely grateful to him, whoever he was.

“Let’s take the day and rest up,” I said, nestled in the tub. “And we should do something to celebrate Kent and Cocoa getting their new jobs.”

Cocoa smiled. “That would be wonderful. It feels great to be an Incantor.” Now, all we had to do was grind more levels until we attained our awakened jobs. “As for Kent... He wanted to be a Shield Knight at first but now he’s a Knight...all so he could become a Dragonrider like the one we met.” She grinned.

“The Dragonrider who saved me!” Tarte trilled. “He was supurr cool!” She trilled some more as she pressed Cocoa with question after question. “Why were you together? Will we see him again? What does he like? I’d love to thank him!”

“We were on our way to Blume when we ran into the Dragonrider—Lord Rudith,” Cocoa said.

I choked on my own breath.

“Sharon?!” All the girls turned to me.

There was no way I could tell them that Rudith was my brother...without divulging my identity, anyway. It wasn’t like I had to keep it secret. None of my friends would treat me any differently if they knew. But right now, Ignacia—the crown prince of Farblume and my ex-fiancé—was in this country. That spelled trouble—the kind of trouble I didn’t want to rope my friends into.

It’s not right to keep lying to them, though. Maybe I’d tell them everything once the dust settled around this cathedral business. I brought my breathing back under control and lifted my head. “Sorry... What happened then?” I encouraged Cocoa to continue.

“Um, since we weren’t going to get to Farblume until late at night, he offered to give us a ride. Plus, he gave Kent some training once we made it there. Then, we ran into him by coincidence in Farming Village after I got my advanced job. He gave us another ride on his Dragon because we were in such a hurry. Isn’t he so generous?”

“Wow. He sounds like a wonderfur gentleman,” Tarte supplied.

“What a fortunate encounter,” Tithia said.

“I’d love to spar with him too, one day,” Mimoza added.

Tarte was getting dreamy eyes, but she could do so much better than my brother, who was kind of a gym bro with a short fuse. Unfortunately, too many ladies fell for his good looks.

Wait, is he in Erenzi to look for me?! That’d be just another headache I didn’t need when we were scrambling to deal with Hervas. Knowing Rudith, though, he was genuinely worried about me. I sank a little farther into the bath, pondering my options. Rudith was the kind of person you could always spot a mile away, so I was pretty sure I could avoid him. I could send a letter to my family, but that would tip off Rudith to my current location.

I’ll have to put a pin in it, I decided. The issue with Hervas demanded my full attention. Currently, I was sitting at level 72—not too bad, but still a little ways off from being able to achieve my awakened job of Archbishop. “Should we deal with Hervas now or decide on our next destination for grinding levels? Ooh, we could hunt for Dragons...or go to that dungeon near Snowdia. Yeah, the dungeon would be cool.” We could stretch our legs a little farther afield or knock out a few levels around here and conquer some dungeons while we were at it.

“Wh-What’s wrong?” I asked, noticing the girls staring at me like field mice in the face of a cobra.

“I-It’s just that...your leveling is truly amazing!” Tithia said. “I will do it! This is a trial I must conquer in order to become stronger...!”

“I’m going to become stronger too,” Tarte growled with determination.

Though I didn’t see how my simple method of leveling could seem like a grand ordeal, if Tithia was pumped about getting stronger, I’d meet her enthusiasm.

Mimoza interrupted with, “Hervas may still be in the abbey. What do you think?”

“Oh, right. He shouldn’t get out of Underworld Abbey so quickly, especially when he can’t use the Gates like we can...and when he’s so weak,” I answered. Hervas had been level 46. I almost wanted to commend him for making it to the depths of the abbey, except that I knew it was all thanks to his poor Templar human shields.

Mimoza considered my assessment. “If Hervas is away from Zille...could we take back the cathedral? Even if we can’t, we may be able to save our fellow Paladins imprisoned there.”

“Yes... You’re right.” If we wanted to save Tithia’s followers, now was our best chance. “Once we dry off, let’s bring it up to the boys.”

“We can finally save them...!” Tithia cracked a smile of relief. “Let’s go discuss it,” she said, practically jumping out of the tub.

Once we got dressed, we convened in the girls’ room proper for a strategy meeting, which felt more casual than it was because we all wore the inn’s yukata—a traditionally Japanese loungewear, though accented with lace and other western aspects. Back in the game, plenty of players had stayed at the inn just to have their characters wear the yukata, even though the inn offered no other buffs for staying here. There was no time to go down memory lane, though.

“Well, that’s what we’re thinking,” I said, concluding my review of the conversation with Mimoza about at least rescuing the Paladins from the cathedral while Hervas was away. “How do we feel about that?”

“We’re storming into the cathedral?!” Kent reacted first.

“This would be the best time...
