Disciple of Immortal

The day after the fierce battle against the 《Ruler of The Sky》, I officially received the reward for defeating the Dragon King from Riddler.

I visited the underground of the Dragon King's castle with Riddler again.

We head to another place in the underground similar with the treasury before heading to the treasury.

It was the jail for Ramiel.

Ramiel's arms were chained and suspended upward, bandage with complicated magic formulae was wrapped around her body.

That was restraining art used to seal the physical strength of dragonfolk.

There were two reasons for the restrained Ramiel to be held in the basement of the Dragon King's castle.

The first was to prevent her from escaping, and the second reason was because she was restrained using the magical power of the dragon hole.

In addition, she was kept in the deepest part of the basement of the Dragon King's castle to prevent other dragonfolk from assisting her to escape.

There was actually no reason to go that far since this area was a sanctuary that not even the Dragon Saint was allowed to enter.

As long as the current system existed, it was literally impossible for other dragonfolk to come in contact with Ramiel behind the back of the Dragon King.

「… Oh my? look at who we got here, the Dragon King and Kanata. Never expected that you're going to visit me this fast, are you trying to get more information about the 《Invisible Hand of God》 from me? Too bad then, I have no intention to tell you more about us. I won't change my mind even if you tortured me or threatened me you know?」

Ramiel smiled fearlessly.

It seems she was serious.

To begin with, she was supposed to become a sacrifice to revive the dragon hole.

Meaning that the weapon was no threat to her.

So I might be as well as giving up in trying to get the information from her.

「I want to ask about Rosemonde. Is she safe?」

「… Rosemonde, that weak adventurer huh, well, I shake her off completely in the city of Polorock. Supposed that she isn't moving around, you might be able to find her in that city.」

Ramiel replied quickly.

It seems the reason why she hid Rosemonde's safety was to provoke me.

「That lass was harmless… Well, not that I hate her in particular. I mean, can you stop treating me as if I'm some sort of devilish homicide? I'm not crazy enough to kill everyone who met me you know?」

I heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that.

It wasn't reliable information but, Ramiel might be telling the truth.

Pomera was looking timidly at Ramiel alas, the latter has glared back at the former.

「What's the matter? Are you having fun in seeing my unsightly situation, half-elf?」

「N-No… I just never expected that your childish behavior is just acting catch us off guard…」

Pomera replied desperately.

Surely, even I was marveled by the difference.

To think that the haughty Ramiel was acting like a dragonfolk kid.

Her expression when she said 『Are you going to pay for the dragonfolk who protect the human and the world?』 with extremely troubled face.

In my opinion, Ramiel at that time might be really clueless about common sense in the human world alas, now that I knew her identity, it might be a trap to trick us.

Even if she hated humans, there was no way that Ramiel who had been living for thousands of years would be that ignorant of the common sense of the world.

「… Hah? Ignorant of common sense? Are you looking down on me?」

Pomera's expression stiffened when Ramiel asked back with a cold freezing voice.

It seems I made the same expression as Pomera.

C-Could it be that Ramiel was really… Ignorant of common sense?

I mean, even in Peach Dragon Village, no one was so air-headed and condescending as her.

I mean, both Raigan and Zuul were much better than Ramiel.

Although it didn't make sense at this late hour, Ramiel's mental age might be even younger than the other dragonfolk.

「… Okay, enough of this topic.」

A frown formed on Ramiel's eyebrows when I said those words.

「Oi, what's with that look?」

「Can you lead us to the treasury, Riddler-san?」

「Come to think of it. Okay then, leave the matter of extracting the information to me. You're going to prepare yourself to confront the 《Invisible Hand of God》, the group Ramiel belongs to right? I'll send you a messenger once we manage to get useful information about that group.」

I nodded upon hearing Riddler's remark and then turned around to leave along with Riddler.

And just when we were about to leave.

「O-Oi, are you giving up already!? Are you really not going to as anything despite having come to this place!?」

Ramiel suddenly called out from behind.

Pomera and I stopped before we looked back at Ramiel.

「She might have too much time on her hands. I mean, she said the same thing yesterday.」

Riddler spoke curtly before he started walking again.

I was about to follow him when suddenly Philia grabbed the cuff of my clothes.

「H-Hey, Kanata… That girl seems to feel, lonely.」

「Kihihihihi! Are you seriously trying to fight the 《Invisible Hand of God》 without any prior information!? Humans are stupid indeed. Our fight has already been told to them by 《World's Recorder, Sofia》. At this point, you won't be able to use brute force to force your way out again. The only reason for my defeat is because of the lack of information about you. The 《Invisible Hand of God》 is the absolute ruler of this Lochlore… Their darkness ran far deeper than the likes of you. Kihihihi… You can at least struggle to not get yourself drown in their darkness.」

Ramiel spoke rapidly.

「She looks desperate for sure…」 Muttered Pomera as she looked at Ramiel with a gaze filled with pity.

「… She won't say anything since it's only a few days since she got imprisoned but, her tone is annoying. It's troublesome since she spoke without saying anything at all, wasting time. Maybe Ramiel is prevented from giving us a certain level of information.」

Riddler heaved a sigh as he spoke.

For someone who was fussing over the status and strange mission, Ramiel seems to be quite loose-lipped.

That might be the characteristic of ancient dragonfolk.

Her personality might get distorted due to getting power after she was betrayed by the mission imposed on their race and became a dragon pillar after being deemed as a failure.

「Oh right, let's make a deal, Kanata. Bring that female adventurer… Rosemonde. If you did so, I'll give you the information about the 《Demon King of Sixth Heaven, Nobunaga》. This is an offer for me to prepare you to fight against his trump card. Originally, that guy has no qualification to join the 《Invisible Hand of God》 due to him being a battle junkie. It won't be a bad offer since it will give you a chance to defeat hi— Eh, do you hear me!?」

The only one who still paid attention to Ramiel was Philia, alas she quickly turned around, albeit reluctantly, and walked toward us when Pomera called out for her.

… Why did she take a liking to Rosemende?

Maybe Ramiel was attracted by Rosemonde's meddlesome personality since the former was quite a carefree girl.
