Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[Rein's POV: ]

"That's… a petal?"

The little cutie gave him a small shared of the green crystal that he had pulled out of nowhere and it seemed to me like it was still connected to the original helix of the crystals with a strange connection of green energy.

It was pretty unique so I certainly found it interesting, but it was not something that anyone could call a 'petal' from a flower.

[ "The Elemental gateway sheds three petals once every century. There are only a few individuals who possess these petals since most of them are used by Us in the maintenance and preservation of the mountains.

Regardless of how they might look, they certainly are petals from the ancient flower, however, perhaps it is something more than a shred of crystal in the eyes of the Truth Seer." ]

The little cutie was looking at me with a smile of admiration… though, he was misunderstanding something.

'That thing doesn't look anything special to me.'

It was a fragment from the crystals that were creating the unique helix, the flower growing directly from the ground without any base or stems.

"It's somehow connected with the main body…"

The only unique thing about this petal that I could understand was the unique green energy thread connecting it with the flower base that it must have been originated from.

'The thing he was holding must be somehow connected to that part of the flower and if that was the case, there was a certain chance that the flower itself was somehow connected with this one crystal petal.'

And if that was the case, the enter gateway might somehow be connected with this one shred.

[ "Indeed… some Truths are not available to even the divines." ]

From the perspective of this cute little hamster, with those soft fluffy wings, I was more interesting than Zoe or my darling.

'Of course he found them more amazing and intimidating than me, but with me, it felt like he was looking at someone or something that he truly admired.'

It was kind of flattering but at the same time, since I saw him as both his true self and the form that he was showing to everyone else, it was a little conflicting.

"Don't praise me like that when I don't understand those things. At least tell me what you can about these eyes of mine."

Just like Wali and her snake husband, he also certainly knew more about these eyes than me.

[ "Haha, we wish we could do so, Young successor. However, you are still not qualified for more than what you already possess." ]

The two of them barely told us a few things about our powers while this little thing was being much more useless than those two.

"Not even a little bit? Not even what you think I already know about?"

But, he was much more easy to talk with than the divine demon Wali or her world demolishing disaster husband.

[ "You want to know what you already know…?" ]

"Is it that surprising?"

[ "Hmmm? Not really… just that… the past succeeding truth Seers have been… well, anyway. We can tell you if you want

"Yei~!"

I thought they would tell me at least a little about these eyes or the past successors, but just knowing their perspective of the things they thought I knew about already was going to be enough for now.

It wasn't a kind of knowledge that we were supposed to know without the qualifications anyway, so just knowing the things that I supposedly knew about should be enough

But that aside… there were some confused faces around me.

"You two… what are you hiding again, hun?"

"They gave Lucifer that thing… there's definitely something special about it, right?"

"Uriel. Tell us what they are hiding as well!"

Tia was curious and angry, Lizzy was curious and confused, while Med was curious and interested in what exactly they could take from this place.

'That little cute thing played dirty when he gave Eon that Petal after bringing everyone else back to their senses.

They weren't supposed to do that since they must already know what kinds of effects it would cause, but they still did it knowing that.

"Shut it you all, and go back and sleep a little like the others. You know they aren't going to tell you anything at all anyway so there is no need to even ask so many questions."

President and captain Alpha understood this was something special that was only happening because the higher being of the mountains saw something special in them.

They were giving their captain Lucifer something unique since they could tell they were much more special than the rests of them and even though some of them knew that was not the case, accepting this theory after seeing him use the house whistle was not that strange.

It was pretty common for the two of us to be in these kinds of unique situations, but since even Zoe and I were just as much confused as the rest of them, this turned out to be something easy to let go.

"Yes, go sleep or go stargazing! There are many things in the sky of this place that you will love to see and if you focus on the reflection they make on the lake, you might even be able to see them much more clearly."

The fun time had come to an end along with the fun hours of midnight.

It was early morning already so they should at least have some rest so that we can play with the creatures, collect things, and do other things in the morning so that we could go back by the evening.

"The elemental helix will close soon so, let's prepare to say farewell to the spirits."

The gateway only opens every few years randomly under unknown conditions and it closes after a few days.

'Some of them could just find a contractor and make a contract if they want to stay in this world but, the spirits who fundamentally live in the spirit realm mostly are attracted to that world.'

They instinctively want to go back and for that, they would have to go through the Astral realm gateways that expand when the elemental gateway is closingâ€" or something like that.

"You are a bad person! Hump!"

Tia was angry since we did not tell her why he had that thing or why the great higher being was being so nice with us.

They knew the rest of them as well, but they mostly only played with us, and she did not like that.

"Tia…"

Lizzy could tell Zoe was not in the best mood right now from how she was looking at the greets being with that upset expression, so she wanted to cheer her up somehow.

And Med only had simple questions so Eon took care of her.

Still, Tia was upset. And, the presidents had their own questions.

"Lucifer, I'll go back."

With the ruler of the mountains wrapped in my arms, I used I skill once again and went back to the others with the hopes of somehow convincing them that the flower petal was just a little personal present that even Eon did not know much about.

"You're lying."

"Why are you lying!"

But they did not buy it… so, the cute winged hamster had to speak up and support my words.

'I wasn't exactly lying to them since he actually did not know much about it and since he also did not ask for it himself, it was also technically a present from Them.'

They did not believe my words but not believing in the words of a divine being was not an option.

They had no reason to lie and no reason to hide anything from them since it was not related to restrictions of nature.

"The night is pretty here."

[ "It's not the prettiest though." ]

We were still on a mountain, so the stars we can see from this cave were much clearer than what we could see from the outside.

And the special waters of the cave reflecting these lights made it even more beautiful…

"Then, where can we find the prettiest stars on these mountains, mister ruler?"

It was difficult to believe how we were laying down with a divine entity or how there were so many rare and dangerous creatures present all around us.

The others that had already fallen asleep were smiling in their sleep as they must be reminiscing about the amazing they had today, and the cute couples that were still chatting with their partners must have gotten closer than ever with this little experance.

[ "The top of the highest peak, the ninth mountain existing higher than even the clouds… there's a small pagoda there. And the night sky above, is one of the most spectacular views one can find in this entire world." ]

As a divine beast, this cutie certainly possessed various kinds of worldly knowledge like the other masters of divinity.

'Just like how we have met a divine demon, someone that started a divine art, someone that was so powerful they could destroy planets with their true powers, as well as a world devouring beast that was their partner… this divine entity before us was also a special being.'

They might look cute and attractive and they might not be as old and experienced as the two of them… they were a unique being of nature.

'An adorable unique being of nature that I want to be friends with.'

And thankfully, I have a few more hours with them to make that wish come true…

'I'll have to try harder tomorrow.'

Though, in my heart, I know it is not going to be an impossible task.

'He finds me interesting. Using that to my advantage isn't going to be that difficult of a task.'
