Chapter 16: Three Sacred Treasures

“I am Amane Gomon, acting head. Thank you for not only lending Kamtsuhi and Zanma but also assisting our country,” Amane said in refined gestures surpassing Hinowa, making me almost mesmerized but I regained composure and returned the greeting.

“Berg Leesh Mildrea. By Her Majesty’s command, we will assist Gomon in this conflict,” Aria continued with the greetings, and upon prompting, we all sat down to discuss the main topic.

“We’ve heard some details from Hinowa, but we’d like to hear more to resolve this matter,” Aria added.

“Yes, it might take a while, but let’s talk,” Amane said, touching the pendant at her chest.

“Our ancestors once used the Three Sacred Treasures, including Tsukuyo, to seal the Gate of Yomi. Someone is attempting to manifest the Gate again, and Tsukuyo’s power has sensed the disturbances in the Hume continent,” Amane explained, looking at me with eyes filled with fleeting light. Her gaze was upon me, yet strangely, I didn’t feel uneasy or uncomfortable.

“Kamtsuhi amplifies, Zanma manipulates weight… and Tsukuyo’s ability is resonance,” she continued.

“Resonance…”

“When the Gate of Yomi appeared before, Zanma confined it deep underground, and Tsukuyo resonated with Kamtsuhi’s sealing technique to amplify the seal. This ability to sense the situation on the Hume continent is also thanks to this resonance.”

“Even across the sea, you can sense it?”

“No, for resonance, there needs to be a strong connection either with me or Tsukuyo, or you must know the resonating partner. This time, I could resonate with Kamtsuhi, Zanma… and Lord Berg,” Amane said.

“What? But this is our first meeting…”

As I began to say this, I realized that while it was indeed our first meeting, she at least knew of me.

A year ago, Aria and the others had seen me and the Il Eater fighting worldwide.

“Although it was for the country, I apologize for using you without your consent. Knowing it’s a bold request, I still ask… Could you lend your strength to save Hizuchi?” Amane lowered her head again and I pondered while watching her. If what Amane said was true, then she had used me for intelligence gathering.

Normally, this could become a diplomatic issue. Honestly, it would have been better to smooth things over without revealing everything and simply get her cooperation…

…But she apologized without hiding anything. It could be seen as her way of showing sincerity.

“Considering my position, I can’t easily overlook your actions… Therefore, I’ll defer this matter for now. First, let’s drive away the calamity from Hizuchi. What do you say?” I proposed, and Amane looked straight at me as she responded.

“Thank you, Lord Berg.”
