"This way please, Master Makoto Takatsuki and her party.
　The person in the suspicious robe who had approached me led us deeper into the city.

Can I follow you, Makoto-san, to ......?
Isn't it possible that this is a trap ......?　Master.
Maybe it's okay.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

　The crest on the back of the hand of the robed man who called out to me.
　It belonged to the goddess of the moon, Nia, who was worshipped in the land of the moon, Rafiloig.
　Its emblem is .......

(Great Spirit of Water (Dea), prepare for battle just in case.)
(Yes, my king.)
　I called out to Dea. 　

"Hey, Spirit Master. "Hey, Spirit Master, is this you, Takatsuki?
"That's my last name. Mel.
"So you have a ...... last name. So you're from a noble family in the eastern continent?
No.
Hmm, no.
　I told him not to tell me who you are, but he's curious.
　Momo interrupted the conversation.

"Master, why did you hide your last name?
"Well, there's a lot going on. You can call me Momo as you always have.
Yes. ...... Ugh, Master is such a mystery.
There's a lot of ...... information you don't know, Makoto. ...... There's a lot of information you don't know, Makoto. ...... There's a lot of information you don't know, Makoto.
"Mr. Abel?　What did you say?
No, no!　No, nothing at all.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.

　All of the royal capitals of the Land of the Moon (Rafiloig) had a cheerful atmosphere, but not all of them.
　I was led to a building that looked like a ruin.
　The building we were taken to looked like a ruin, but it was only a wreck on the outside, and once inside, it was clean and tidy.
　We walked down a corridor lit by a few candles.
　At the end of the hall, there was a large door.

The Lord is waiting for you just ahead.
　The woman in the robe said, and disappeared.
　The brave Abel and the Great Sage (Momo) looked nervous.
　The white dragon is as usual.
　I slowly opened the door.



　"I've been waiting for you.



"We've been waiting for you. Brave men.

　The door opened into a chapel with a woman standing on the podium at the far end.
　She looked to be in her early teens.
　Her petite, well-formed appearance made her look like a beautiful doll.
　Her eyes, which gave me a rather cold impression, were looking down at me.
　Of course, I had never met her before, but I felt that she resembled a certain person.

"I'm Makoto Takatsuki.
　I slowly approached the man and said my name.

"Yes, I know you. I heard about you from the Goddess of Destiny (Ila). I am Estelle, the priestess of the Goddess of Fate.
"!
　Abel and Momo are looking surprised.
　I'm not sure what to do.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　The name of the priestess is the same as it will be a thousand years from now.
　Is it possible that the name is passed down from generation to generation?

Please, have a seat.
　I was advised to be seated and took a seat at the front of the chapel.
　The Great Sage (Momo) sat next to me, his body stiff with tension.
　Now that I had the chance to meet him, I had a lot of questions to ask him.

By the way, I would like to talk to the goddess of fate (Ila) at .......
Wait a minute, let the hero speak first.
　She took a glance at me.
　The priestess stepped down from the podium and approached Abel the hero.

"Abel the Brave. It must have been a hard journey. You've made it here safely.
Yes. ....... I'm sure you've had a tough journey.
Please give me your hand.
　The brave Abel did as he was told and stuck out his hand.
　A few seconds later, the priestess Esther touched it.
　I wonder what she's doing.

"Hmm, I see.
"Um, Priestess?


　Esther ignored the quizzical look on Abel's face.

"And now, my little wise man. You must have had a hard time.
"Yes, yes!　But my master was with me.
"Master?
Well, it was Master Makoto and Master Hakuryu!
　The priestess looked at me and Hakuryu curiously and compared us.
　The priestess looked at me curiously and then nodded her head in agreement.

You seem to be guided by a good master.
　Then she lightly touched Momo's head. 　

"After you, Helm Merk, the Shiro Dragon.
"Yes, miko-sama.
　The white dragon is unusually tense.
　I don't know.
　What about me?

Priestess. I was once saved by the Goddess of Fate, Ila.
"Yes, the Goddess of Fate remembers that. The goddess is pleased to see the young dragon has grown into a fine young man.
"Thank you for your kind words. ......
　Bailong's voice was a little shaky.

　So you are an acquaintance of Ila, the goddess of destiny.
　If so, I should have told her about Ila.
　The priestess Esther shook Mr. Hakuryu's hand for a moment, just as Abel had done.

　Then she went up to the podium again.
　She didn't come to me.

"Um, Estelle-sama?
"I told you to calm down, you...
"Ha, ha. ......
　He got mad.
　You don't have to use such a grumpy tone of voice, but this priestess (or person) may be .......

I'm not sure what to make of it. I've prepared your weapons here. Choose the one you like.
　As soon as he said that, some robed people came out and started to arrange weapons, shields and armor one after another.
　Oh ......, what an extravagant turn of events.
　In front of our eyes, weapons that seemed to be made of mithril and armor made of phantom beasts were shining.

Wow, .......
"Wow!　It's glittering, Master!
Oh, ......, this is...
　The brave Abel, the Great Sage, and the Shiro Dragon took notice.

　I wonder if I can choose one too.
　When I was about to wander over to it, I was tugged by a sleeve.
　I turned around to see...

"Estelle-sama?
...... Takatsuki Makoto. I need to speak to you privately. Come with me.
Is it just me?
Yes, just you. Hurry up.
　And with that, the Goddess of Fate disappeared into the back room.

Wow, this cloak has four protective spells!
"It's woven with the tendrils of the lion. It's the stuff of legend. Take it, brave man.
It's ......
Master Shiro, this wand contains great mana. ......
It's a wand made from a branch of the world tree. It's a wand made from a branch of the world tree. It's not for those with half the mana, but it's good for little ones.
The world tree is from the myth.
It's not that rare, because there are world tree saplings in the floating continent.　It's the processing that's more difficult.
"You know everything!　Master Bailong!
I don't know anything about anything.

　I don't know about anything.
　The commentator is Mr. Mel.
　His knowledge is unbelievable.
　I want to see the weapons and armor over there too. .......

"Takatsuki Makoto-sama, this way please. The miko is waiting for you.
"...... Yes.
　The man in the robe pushed me hard.

　I had no choice but to go to the back room.
　It was a small windowless room. 　
　A priestess of the Goddess of Fate stood behind me.

Close the door.
　The priestess said.
"Yes.


　The robed man closed the thick door.
　The door slammed shut with a loud bang.

　The room was now completely enclosed.
　That's pretty tight. .......
　You don't think this is a trap, do you?
　I felt a little uneasy.

"Um, miko-sama. Can I help you? ......
"Takatsuki Mako-to!

　The next moment, the goddess of fate, the miko, came to embrace me.
