Chapter 138: Goddess Muse Descends

[Several Tens of Minutes Ago]

“It seems Charlotte is nowhere to be found.”

Douglas wore a look of anxiety. The other members searched for her too.

“Maybe she got caught up in some incident?”

Such worries surfaced, and my chest tightened.

With not even a clue in sight…

“…………S”

“Is something wrong?”

“No, just a bit…”

It might have been my imagination, but I thought I heard someone calling me.

“………chi……su”

There it was again.

Douglas and the others did not seem to notice.

“I’ll step out for a moment.”

I headed toward the direction of the voice, and inside the carriage, Neige looked my way.

“Klaus, you finally noticed.”

“Neige? What in the world?”

I was surprised that she had suddenly started speaking.

“It’s not Neige. It’s Muse.”

In fact, the one speaking through Neige was the goddess Muse.

“This child bears the name of a god. Only when Neige is unconscious can I speak with you through her.”

“A conversation with the goddess…”

Even if it was through Neige, how incredible was it to converse directly with Goddess Muse?

“Um… Goddess. It’s a great honor to exchange words with you, but things are really piling up right now…”

She had made time in this brief window while Neige slept, but I had to search for Charlotte.

“I understand the situation. That’s precisely why I’m speaking with you, Klaus.”

Yet she answered in a way that eased my fears.

“Charlotte is currently riding in a carriage’s cargo hold, heading to a place off the main road.”

Those words hit me like a shock.

“What?!”

From what she said, a good amount of time had already passed since the kidnapping. Even knowing her current location, I lacked the time to catch up…

“You’re the only one who can save her, Klaus.”

“But I have no way to catch them…”

Even as we spoke, the kidnappers might try to harm Charlotte.

“I’ll lend you my power.”

When I looked up, Goddess Muse said that.

“She’s young, but a divine dragon nonetheless. Through her, I can wield a little of my strength.”

My body and Neige’s wrapped in white light and rose into the air.

“Now, let’s fly!”

“Wait, Goddess! Stra—”

Without a chance to protest, I floated up into the sky and she carried me away.
