Chapter 161: It’s time to be honest

’But what a son of a bitch, crazy?Who the hell puts him on a mission like that as first and then leaves?’ I knew I wasn’t watching at this point, because my protection is still (A).

So, at most, a lackey servant would be keeping an eye on the situation. Although, even they are not watching 24/7 and just come and go, checking on it from time to time with missions to make it stronger to their respective agent.

they, although not affected as strongly by the protection, don’t have the eyes of the gods, which immediately improve my protection, because even when I was sure that Mirk was watching us, he never moved up in rank.

’no, let’s not get distracted, what was I on? …. oh, yes… son of a bitch, crazy’ The news was so shocking that, for a moment, my thoughts wandered, but I had to fix things. Luckily, I had my legacy, but first I had to ask him something.

“So, Silvia… just out of curiosity, that oracle, does it have a deadline or penalty?”

“Hum…? No, why should it?”

Right. If it didn’t have a penalty or deadline, it wasn’t important; it could just be ignored. Although normally, the people of this world see quests as oracles and words from their god, and so they don’t usually ignore them. For me, however, it was good to be able to overlook them.

In the event that it was mandatory, I would destroy it now that silvia was under my protection. .

Fortunately, that is not the case. Still, things can’t go on like this. I don’t know how much Silvia knows, nor how much the god who suddenly gave her his blessing knows. So the time has come to come clean.

“Silvia, you know I love you… as a friend.”

“N-no, Chris, I didn’t tell you that to make you feel pressured or anything, so there’s no need for me to…”

“So what I’m going to do is for your sake.”

“Huh? What are you doing?…. Wait, stop!”

I took Silvia, who was apparently not using her ability at the moment, by surprise. I quickly pulled out from my storage a rope with many runes inscribed on it, including divine runes.

Due to the characteristics of divine runes, they were single-use, but their effect was almost absolute. I held Silvia, preventing her from being able to move mana or even use her blessing. It could be considered a waste, but the situation was serious, and we wouldn’t get out of here until we resolved it.

“Okay, Silvia, our future depends on this, so don’t resent me for forcing you.”

“Wait, Chris, calm down. We mustn’t rush, even if it is the order of a god. Untie me first and let’s talk.”

“Just in case.”

Click.

I quickly conjured more spells to create barriers around us: anti-recognition and anti-sonar, stronger than the ones we had previously set up.

Not only that, but I made sure that my protection from lust especially covered this area. It was not an existing energy per se, but it moved according to my will, so that, if someone divine looked, they would only see a normal conversation about runes.

Good. Once ready, I looked at Silvia tied up. I must admit I was a little proud; I had asked Elena to teach me her useful binding technique, then used it on herself, earning me three days of coldness and scorn. I had no regrets.

Now, Silvia was my third victim with this technique…. But we wouldn’t do anything indecent, unlike before.

“we won’t?.”

“Hey what was that disappointed tone, and how is your ability working if you are restrained?”

” ヽ（≧□≦）ノ I-I wasn’t disappointed just that the situation I… hump!!. I’ll explain nothing, I just had it activated before you caught me…”

“If you had it activated, how come you didn’t stop me from tying you up?”

“you are to blame with your sudden words, I misunderstood, I was a bit nervous and…. No!!!, rather, why did you tie me up like that, you pervert!!!”. !”

“Well let’s ignore small details, let’s cut to the chase. I already know that you have an ability that reads my intentions and that, thanks to that, you know more than you appear to. Go ahead, spit out everything you know about me; my future depends on it.”

“…”

“So you want to follow the path of ignorance. Well, you forced me to…”

“Wait, okay, okay, okay! I do have that ability. Let’s calm down a bit, and don’t even think about doing what you had in mind.”

“Tch…, you give up too easily.”

“So that’s why my skill said that….. You have weird fetishes.”

“What did you read!!!, and I-I wasn’t excited, nor was it a fetish. I-it was just to get information out of you. Well, let’s not change the subject. How much do you know about me? I want to know how much that god knows.”

“liar!!!, haaa…so if you knew a long time ago why are you worried about me knowing about you now? Was it even necessary to do all this?”

“I have my circumstances, besides were you going to tell me if I asked you nicely?”

“…”

“There’s the answer. Fine, speak. But first tell me, did the sun god give you any more reason why he chose you, besides that thing you already said?”

“W-well, yes, he told me that my ability would be useful or something.”

“Useful with me? Did he tell you to keep an eye on me or something?”

“Huh? No, he just told me to stay close to you because, like I said, he had a feeling you’d be promising, and by the oracle… too he said that he would personally bless o-our son when I completed it.”

I don’t even want to know what that god was thinking when he gave her that damn mission…. but that aside This is still suspicious. I have to keep asking.

“Okay, now tell me, how much do you know about me from your ability?”

“Keep in mind that it’s a skill that only works when I want it to, and that I’m not someone who meddles in other people’s lives.”

“￣へ￣”

I had serious doubts. According to what I had seen, Silvia indiscriminately used her ability, but if I think about it, it’s more in the future when she becomes a full-fledged yandere. So maybe it’s true that she doesn’t abuse it yet.

“Hey, why do you have that look on your face? I don’t do it often, you know, just once in a while. Besides, I told you I have it on activated… You’re also going to have to answer a lot of things later, or I’ll throw a ball of lava down your pants.”

“Hey, that threat wasn’t necessary. I said it was time to come clean; I’ll say mine too, so speak up.”

“Well, I think you know how it works. I just know you have a legacy, though I don’t understand per se what it is: whether it’s an ability, a power, a weapon, or something else. I only occasionally hear you talk about it, things like ’with my legacy I can do this and this’. Mostly I use it Skill when I don’t understand what you’re trying to do.”

“Do you know the name of my legacy?”

“No.”

Well, that was what I was worried about. Apparently, she doesn’t know much about legacy. Come to think of it, I knew she knew that I knew about her ability, since I’m usually usually aware of that ability when I talk to her.

I was curious how much more she knew about me. From the beginning I was prepared for Silvia to understand me completely, but it also depended on how often I used the ability, and apparently it wasn’t much.

“What else important thing do you know about me?”

“What else? I know you have a secret affair with Alice, Elena and Instructor Astrid. Almost every time you make a funny face it’s because you were thinking about them.”

“Hey, leaving aside the obvious, which is because I can’t tell about Astrid, I introduced you face to face with Elena, and the Alice thing isn’t a secret either. It’s just that when I was going to say it, Alice backed out and said we’d better wait until we graduate…. Hey, now that we’re talking about it, do you think she’s ashamed of me or something? No, let’s not change the subject, tell me more”.

Ehemm, this is no time for love advice. Besides, knowing Alice, it must be for another reason. Yes, it must be for another reason.

Well, that’s not even a secret. You could easily say I were dating Elena or Alice, and even Astrid, without any shame, but obviously Astrid didn’t want it, Elena told me it wasn’t necessary to say it, and Alice, as I said, was waiting for the year to end.

I wanted to know if Silvia knew about my real identity; I was always curious if she did.

“(▔_▔)…I know you have an ability that somehow can see things that other people can’t see about themselves. Sometimes you seem to know a lot of things that even the person himself didn’t know, like my ability.”

“Hey, don’t jump to conclusions blindly. That’s not why I know about your ability. Well, I’ll explain it to you later anyway. Go on.”

“Actually, I suspected that Auran was a girl because you gave her special treatment, unlike the other guys, and when I activated my ability you were thinking of her as Aurora.”

“I mean, I understand that, but come on, say what’s important – why drag the whole thing out?”

“Well, I’ll tell you… I know you have powers to see the future.”

“Huh? Who can see the future?”

“Don’t play dumb. More than once I’ve seen intentions like, ’my alternate self did this, but I’ll do this’ and things like ’my other self is practicing light magic and I’ll practice with my punching bags.’But I don’t understand that about another identity, I guess that’s how you think about the things you didn’t do because it changes the future, right?”.

“Oh! So you don’t know. Also, you’re mixing a lot of things up with your conclusions.”

’uhmm looks like everything I was fine go into panic over nothing.’

although perhaps all these conclusions and thoughts were what attracted the attention of the god of sun, it was nothing harmful enough for me.

Silvia knew a lot less than I originally thought, and there doesn’t seem to be anything that catches the sun god’s attention.

And about the legacy I don’t have to worry, the14 legacies are not the only legacies; there were many from different people from the past and gods. So that part was not a problem.

Besides, Silvia hadn’t found out about my other identity, fortunately. I had probably never thought that Seraphina was my real identity, when Silvia was using her skill…..

’yes, I’m an idiot, haaahh~…’
