Chapter 113.2: Poison of The Scorpion God
「Yes, dear mother. There’s nothing wrong with his condition except for the fact that he keeps sleeping. But, since he took the poison’s full effect, I have no idea when he will wake up.」
Fana responded to mother, who had a sad look on her face.contemporary romance
The poison of the Scorpion God, Giltar, wasn’t considered to be among the most powerful poisons possessed by divine beings. Although any race weaker would’ve died from Giltar’s poison, divine beings were not as affected by it. Moreover, if a divine being had poison resistance, the most they would experience is just some slight numbness.
But, those without poison resistance wouldn’t be able to move at all, and my big brother was ambushed and had to take the full brunt of Giltar’s poison. That was the reason why he had yet to wake up.
「Fana. Where’s the antidote? Why haven’t you made one yet?」
「Dear mother, I don’t have the main ingredient to finish the antidote for Giltar’s poison. I can finish the antidote in a flash as long as I have that ingredient.」
My mother heaved a sigh upon hearing my sister’s remark.
「I see… What’s the ingredient you’re missing now, Fana?」
「According to my master’s recipe, it’s the p… poison of the Scorpion God.」
My mother’s eyebrows twitched the moment my big sister uttered those words. The one my big sister referred to as Master was the Archwitch Heqat, Modes’ subordinate. My big sister’s knowledge about medicine and medical treatment were all things she learned from the knowledge Heqat left behind. My big sister was Heqat’s apprentice for a short while before she had left Elios to follow Modes.
My mother wasn’t pleased with my big sister’s decision to take Heqat as her master.
My mother hated Modes who bore resemblance and was also the inheritor of the power of the God of Destruction, Nargol.
It was something that happened before she gave birth to me.
My mother seemed to have seen the moment when Nargol slaughtered my grandmother, the Mother Goddess Mina. Though her life was spared since she was hiding, by the time my father, Oudith, found her, my mother was already trembling in fear.
Since then, my mother has been suffering from Nargolphobia.
Thus, she also feared Modes who had the same power and appearance as his mother.
Though some Elios Goddesses hate the Demon King for his ugly appearance, it was actually amongst the minority, most haters were ones who had gotten influenced by my mother, the number one woman in Elios.
「Fanacea, the poison of the Scorpion God you’re referring to, is that Giltar’s poison?」
Rena asked.
「No, Rena. It doesn’t have to be Giltar, anyone with the same kind of poison as Giltar will do the job.」
「I see… Is there someone out there with the same kind of poison as Giltar?」
Rena’s question made all of us think for a while.
And then, I recalled a certain name.
「Bruhl. Giltar’s little sister should be living in Gypseal too.」
Everyone’s line of sight concentrated on me the moment I said so.
「Is that true, Totona?」
My mother asked.
「No doubt about it.」
Giltar’s little sister, Bruhl, was living in Gypseal. She had a more docile personality compared to her big brother.
「 I see… Giltar’s little sister huh. I hate the idea of being indebted to anyone other than Elios’ people but, we really have no other choice this time. Let’s ask for her assistance.」
「But, Faeria-sama. That’s also a problem. Our influence in Gypseal is zero. How do you intend to ask Bruhl to help us?」
「You’re right, Rena. But, in the case of Gypseal, we can ask for Ishtar and Heibos’ help, but I don’t think Heibos is willing to help Thors. So we’re left with no choice but to ask for Ishtar’s help.」
My mother replied with a relaxed voice.
Will it really be that simple?
I recalled the people who ruled Gypseal, they were not to be trifled with. They might ask us for something really outrageous in exchange for the poison.
I rather thought that the Demon King’s assistance was far more reliable than Ishtar’s. But, it seems my mother had never considered such an opinion.
Given the choice, she would prefer having an exchange with Gypseal rather than owing a debt of gratitude toward the Demon King.
「Come to think of it, mother. Ishtar-sama said that she wanted the antidote too. Uhm… I heard that the Hero of Light is the one who needs the antidote.」
My big sister spoke while looking apologetically at Rena.
「The Hero of Light, are you talking about Reiji? Is there a reason for Reiji to need the antidote? And why is Ishtar-sama staying in Reiji’s place? What’s the meaning of this?」
Rena asked so while tilting her head.
「I don’t know either, Rena. I just heard from Ishtar that the female swordsman in the Hero of Light’s party got poisoned too.」
「Female swordsman, you mean Shirone?!!」
Rena suddenly raised her voice.
Was it just my imagination that she looked delighted for a moment?
「Calm down, Rena. I know that you’re worried about the Hero being by Ishtar’s side, but you have to be patient for now.」
「My apologies, Faeria-sama.」
Rena bowed to mother.
「Well, Fana. Ishtar contacted me, asking for your cooperation to get the Scorpion God’s poison.」
「Yes, dear mother.」
My sister said so and left the room.
「Wait, Fanacea.」
「Is something the matter, Rena?」
「If you’re going to meet Ishtar-sama, take me with you. I want to see Reiji and co’s situation.」
Rena smiled as she spoke.
Wait a minute, what did she mean?
「S-Sure.」
「Thank you, Fanacea.」
Rena left the room after she said so.
「Well then, let’s wait for good news from Ishtar.」
It seems my dear mother thought that everything would be alright. But, I guess she was too naive in this regard. Should I try to ask my Master for this? I felt that this matter was too simple.
Other than my big sister being the disciple of the Archwitch Heqat, I was the disciple of the Demon King’s prime minister, Loughas.
My teacher, the owner of the most brilliant mind in this world, might be able to find the best solution.
Unlike my big sister, I’m still in touch with my teacher.
Not to mention that Kuroki was in Nargol too, I might be able to see him.
Even though my big brother’s condition was dreadful, all I was thinking about was how to meet Kuroki instead.
