Chapter 264
It was a place of large spring, surrounded by forest of trees. There was no sound that could be heard other than the rustling leaves.
It was Kouki's question that brought the silence. In front of Kouki who was crawling on all fours at the edge of the spring while coughing, there was queen Moana making a bewildered expression.
Suddenly the sanity of the existence that they greatly respected and loved was being questioned. The question was an extremely impolite one that normally it wouldn't be strange if they snapped toward the one who asked.
In fact, the atmosphere of the people standing around the queen――six men and women with warrior appearance, and two man and woman who didn't seem like warrior but looked used with fighting. And one woman whose clothing was different with the others, her attire somehow gave the impression that she was a lady attendant――was turning into one that couldn't be said to be pleasant.
Although, not even one of them tried to reproach Kouki's impolite statement, they didn't look like "fanatic". Was that because of healthy religious faith, or else was it because they were holding back because they were in front of the queen, the reason wasn't clear.
Kouki felt the atmosphere of the surrounding and saw the bewildered expression of Moana whose hand was still presented at him, and realized that his question was crude before he apologized in panic.
「I, I'm sorry, saying that so suddenly. I am a bit traumatized with an existence that is like a god……」
「Tra, trauma of god? Or rather, you had met that kind of existence before?」
The words of Kouki who was once involved with a supernatural existence that was called god caused Moana and her people to make expression of being struck with admiration. Was the young man before their eyes an existence so great that was also chosen by another great existence different from Foltina, they wondered.
