Once upon a time, Omi finally found Sena and came to share her life with her. After living with Sena, she stayed away from the public eye for quite a long time.
However, this time, when capturing the Hero, Omi appeared before many church officials, once again exposing herself to public attention just like in the old days. She accepted this as unavoidable and allowed only a few people from the Crater Church whom she deemed trustworthy, including Lady Crater herself, to contact her regularly.
Because of this arrangement, when she decided to travel with Mika, Omi informed the church leaders that 「Mika and I will be away on a journey for a while」 and 「Saint Mika will need much more time before she can return to her duties.」
◇◇◇
Initially, the two decided to retrace the hero party’s journey in reverse. That is, they planned to start from their current location in Boldaf and begin their journey with Greeneyes as their destination, where they had been taken care of during their exploration of the Mirror Dungeon.
However, former Cardinal Gilbert, upon receiving the report from the church leader about their journey, contacted Omi on the very same day for a certain reason. His request was, 「If you’re going on a journey, please start from Lemone.」
When Omi asked what this was about, she was informed that in Lemone, where Ryūgūin had parasitized for the longest time, there were many victims who had been hurt by his capricious nature.
◇◇◇
The night before their departure, at an inn in Boldaf. Mika was staying in the same room as Omi. Outside the window, it was dark—late at night when ordinary people would already be asleep. The clamor of people had died down, and only the hooting of an owl echoed in the silence.
Mika couldn’t sleep at all. Just thinking about tomorrow made her chest tighten.
To be honest, she was afraid of the town of Lemone. The two of them were going to take advantage of Ichiro’s kindness and use Crane’s Guidance. So by noon tomorrow, she would be in Lemone. This fact terrified Mika.
She had regained herself, but the things that Ryūgūin and she herself had done over such a long time remained firmly in her memory.
After clearing the Blade Dungeon, which became a turning point of fate, Yamada Ichiro left the party. Despite being somewhat imperfect, Yamada Ichiro’s presence had served as a restraint on Ryūgūin.
Looking back, without him, Ryūgūin must have abandoned all self-control. After Yamada Ichiro left, Ryūgūin’s tyrannical, arrogant, and selfish attitude escalated, and the scale at which he hurt and destroyed those around him was incomparable to before.
And the town where Ryūgūin in such a state spent the longest time—that was the town of Lemone.
What she knew was already tragic enough, but surely even worse things must have happened in places she didn’t know about.
Mika trembled just imagining it. Sensing this, Omi asked, 「Are you all right?」
「I’m…fine.」
Mika managed to answer, but Omi considered for a moment. She tucked a pillow under her arm, walked over to Mika’s bed, and lay down beside her. Without saying a word, Omi turned toward Mika, embraced her, and gently patted her back as if soothing a child.
Until dawn when Mika’s sobbing and trembling finally stopped and Omi confirmed she had fallen asleep, she continued this gentle act.
◇◇◇
When the two of them set foot in the town of Lemone, they felt the sticky gazes of the residents. Almost all eyes were fixed on Mika. Having often been by Ryūgūin’s side, Mika was recognized by the residents of Lemone as 「the servant of that self-righteous, arrogant mock hero.」
Each gaze, coated with negative emotions, cut into Mika’s heart like a blade.
Still, telling herself 「This is where my atonement begins,」 Mika somehow encouraged herself and walked with Omi to their destination.
Within a few minutes, they arrived at the trading company that was their meeting place and found a man wandering in front of the store. About fifty years old with a well-built body, he—as soon as he spotted the two—broke into a friendly smile and waved.
「Over here!!」
His voice was gentle and cheerful. As the two hurried to him, he said:
「Cardinal Gilbert has asked me to take care of you two~! Ah, I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Hilbert~! Pleased to meet you~!」
He bowed his large body with a quick bend. The contrast was somewhat comical.
「My name is Omi. Likewise, pleased to meet you.」
「I’m…Mika. Pleased to meet you.」
While Omi puffed out her chest, Mika, in contrast, bowed her head. Hilbert, looking flustered, gestured for Mika to stop bowing.
「Please don’t! Please don’t!! For someone as revered as a Saint to bow to someone like me…!!」
Seeing his expression, Mika was at a loss for words. Although Hilbert looked troubled, deep in his narrowed eyes, she could see the same thick negative emotions she had just felt from the residents.
