comments

Okay, so after looking at the polls and the comments you guys have left me, I've decided to compromise and put both chapter links and the entire story into 1 page. It'll take a bit of time before the rest of the books are condensed into 1 page, but I'll try to do them ASAP.

Book 4: Move 1 – The First Move to Slay a Dragon: “Form a rescue party. Again.”

*Disclaimer note: This is merely a translation of the original Chinese version. I do not claim any part in the creation of the original story.


 

Creus! You cannot escape, you can never escape……

I jolted awake.

I hurriedly opened my eyes, however upon doing so I felt that something was not quite right, but I just couldn't put a finger on what it was exactly……

Normally when one opens their eyes, is all they see a sea of black?

Opening one's eyes and keeping them closed made no difference! If that's so then what's the point of opening one's eyes? Or is it, could it be that, I-I can't see?

That's not right! I can 'see', and it's becoming clearer and clearer, as if someone had wrapped the surroundings with several layers of gauze, and was now unravelling them, layer by layer. The black was fading and the surroundings were becoming clearer to me.

I 'saw ' myself lying on a bed; the bed had a very strong wood element, so it should be made out of wood. A thick blanket covered me, and beside the bed is a chair. Even further away is a table with four chairs around it, and on the table is some water element…… ah, a jug of water.

I could even tell that the jug of water was only half filled.

But, I hadn't even needed to turn my head to 'see' these things. They just appeared in my mind. I tried closing my eyes, then opening them again…… the image in my mind didn't change!

So, what is the purpose of these 'eyes'? Are they not for 'seeing'? And this word, 'seeing', I'm getting more and more confused as to its meaning…… Am I 'seeing' right now? It seems like it, yet not.

I was still puzzling over this when something more important came up – someone's coming!

I turned towards the door, but then stopped in puzzlement. What is the point of turning one's head? I don't even need to turn my head to see the door!

Even though I felt the purpose of eyes rather mystifying, I pushed the matter to the back of my mind to focus on the person who had entered. This person had very high amounts of wind element, but not enough to be a mage…… Ah! Must be some kind speed specialising job like a thief, or an archer. And his appearance…… ah, my mistake, it's a 'her'.

And a 'her' with an extremely good figure to boot! Even though I could not tell if she was beautiful or not, a person's figure had nothing to do with beauty. As long as they had a big bust, a slim waist and long legs, they can all be classified as having a 'great figure'.

"Oh! Are you awake?" she asked the moment she saw me.

From her voice, I could make out that the person was a pretty young woman. To meet a young and curvaceous woman moments after waking, what bliss!

"I…… um, I'm awake," I answered as I struggled to get up and nod at her.

"Don't get up!" She hurried forward. "You've been severely injured…… er, it seems like you're almost healed… Amazing! But Yuna clearly said that with your injuries you would have to lie in bed for a month, yet it's only been three days and your injuries are just about completely healed. Yuna even suspected you for an undead!"

"Yuna?" I asked confused.

The girl placed her belongings on the table before pouring a glass of water and walking back to the bed, all the while explaining, "Ah, Yuna is our party's priest. She and Igor went out to buy something. Igor's our warrior. There's also a druid called Walter and me, Caecilia, I'm an archer. You should be thirsty, here, have some water."

I was feeling a little parched, so I quickly took the glass of water and gulped it down after a quick thanks.

"What about you?" Caecilia asked with curiosity. "What's your name?"

It was not until I had finished the whole glass of water and quenched my thirst that I heard her question.

"My name's……"

"Hm?"

Caecilia moved a little closer, and I could finally 'see' her face. She had almond-shaped eyes and sharp features with full pouty lips. Even though I couldn't tell if she was pretty or not, but based on that busty chest of hers I'd declare her a beauty.

"Are you going to tell me your name or not?" asked Caecilia in suspicion.

I hurriedly came to my senses and answered her, "I'm called-I'm called……"

I trailed off into silence.

Great. I now know what's wrong……

Who am I?

~O~O~O~O~

Four people sat in front of me. Starting from the left is the incredibly built warrior – Igor; skinny as a weed – Walter; the priest whose figure wasn't quite as good – Yuna; and the hourglass figure – Caecilia. According to them there's still a thief called Archie who had yet to return.

From the observations of their respective jobs, I could tell that this party should be pretty good, as they had a good complement of roles in their party…… Huh, looks like my common sense and general knowledge hadn't been lost along with my memories.

"You've got amnesia? How incredible," muttered Walter as he got lost within his own thoughts.

"Yeah! How inconceivable," Caecilia butted in. "I had thought it incredible that he had gotten hurt so severely! How is that possible?!"

Yuna nodded her head in agreement.

"That's right," Igor agreed completely. "Too true."

"Em, m-may I ask," I was a little confused by this, so I asked, "what is so unbelievable about me getting injured? Everyone gets hurt…… er… Everyone can get hurt, right?"

I was getting a little unsure of myself. For someone who can't even remember his own name, the 'general knowledge' I know might not necessarily be correct.

However, the four in front of me had turned to look at me before saying in unison, "It's unbelievable because you are really, really strong!"

"I'm strong?" I asked in surprise. "Am I a warrior?"

"No, you're a priest," Yuna corrected me.

A priest?

I am a priest, yet they say I am strong? But then why does my 'general knowledge' tell me that priests are known for being weak pussies? Hmm, looks like my 'general knowledge' cannot be trusted after all.

"Well, it's not that you're really strong, even though you are a very powerful priest indeed," said Yuna thoughtfully. "We were actually referring to your companions."

My companions…… I asked in surprise, "Is that not you guys?"

Caecilia rolled her eyes at me. "If we were your companions, why would we bother asking you for your name?"

She's got a point.

I fiddled with my hair absent-mindedly as I voiced my question, "You know that I am a priest, and that my companions are pretty strong, yet you do not know my name? Do you or do you not know me?"

They exchanged looks with each other. In the end, it was Walter who answered my question. "We don't know you, really, but we were rescued once by you and your companions. We knew that you were a priest because we saw you casting holy light that one time. And we could tell that your companions were quite strong from their attacks. Even though your party had only three people, you guys must have been pretty strong."

My companions, huh? I wasn't really surprised to hear that I had companions. In fact, several blurry figures came to mind when I heard the word, though there were far more than the number Walter had given. So even though I had no recollection of whom they were and how they looked like, I was very sure that I had companions, and quite a large number of them too.

I felt more relieved after realising this fact, but I was still curious. "What are my companions like?"

"There was a holy knight, and a-a……"

Walter hesitated. I noticed him frowning…… so that would mean he was hesitating, right? But why? Is there something wrong with that companion of mine?

Igor leant near me and said in a low voice, "He's a dark elf."

"A dark elf?" If I wasn't mistaken, the dark elves are a race of white-haired, ebony-skinned elves with a bad reputation, but the finer details seem to elude me.

Just then, Yuna hurriedly said, "Perhaps the dark elf was being held captive by you and the holy knight."

"Y-yeah!" Igor parroted. "Holy knights and priests would never be on the same side as a dark elf! They are dark creatures! And everyone knows that the Church of Light hate dark creatures the most."

"The Church of Light? I'm from the Church of Light?"

I turned the words over and over in my head. 'The Church of Light'. 'The Church of Light' and 'holy knights' certainly seemed to ring a bell, so perhaps it was true.

Yuna nodded and explained, "Your holy light is very strong. Only priests from the Church of Light could have such strong holy light, so it's not possible for you to be a priest from the other churches. But I wonder what you are doing here."

"Here?" I asked confusedly. "Where is here?"

"This is the country of Kissinger, the Church of Chaos's territory! The Church of Light in Forgotten Echo is quite a long distance from here. You would have to walk towards north for five days before you can even reach the borders of Forgotten Echo!"

I nodded my head in comprehension. 'Kissinger' sounded foreign to me, so I'm probably not from around here. And 'the Church of Chaos' didn't sound any more familiar either; not as familiar as the Church of Light, at least.

I turned to Yuna and asked, "Then, Yuna, are you a priest from the Church of Chaos?"

"Of course not. I'm from the Church of War," she replied impatiently. "If I were from the Church of Chaos we wouldn't have needed your help back then in the first place."

What did that mean?

I quieted down, not wishing to ask again. Even if Yuna did answer me, it would only raise more questions. Besides, it's not like I really care about which church she's from. All I want to know is - who the hell am I?!

I would be pleased with even just a name.

Creus! You cannot escape, you can never escape……

I paused. I do remember hearing this when I was startled awake earlier, and the first word – 'Creus' sounds like a name…… Could it be my name?

Just then, Yuna said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I forgot that you had forgotten everything. I shouldn't have snapped at you."

"It's quite alright."

I came to when I heard Yuna's apology. I then said to the four gathered before me, "Seeing as I do have companions, it should be alright. I mean, they're sure to come looking for me, right?"

They looked at each other before Yuna said delicately, "I don't think so. It's already been ten days, yet no one has come for you."

"Ten days?" I blinked before turning to the archer. "Caecilia, didn't you say that I had completely healed within three days?"

"Yup!" Caecilia shrugged her shoulders and said, "But after your wounds had healed, you continued to sleep for another seven days! We were so worried; we had no idea what to do! We couldn't just leave you behind, in your unconscious state, but we had used up all of our money on your medical bills and desperately needed to take up a few jobs--"

"Caecilia!" Yuna hurriedly cut her off.

However, Caecilia refused to be stopped. "But it's true!" she shouted, "We should be frank with him about our situation and have him help us out with the jobs! If not if we were to continue on like this we'll soon be without a roof over our heads!"

"Caecilia!" Walter said sharply. That seemed to stop her. Walter then turned to me and said apologetically, "I hope you can forget about what Caecilia said. We should have helped you without asking anything in return. After all, if you and your companions hadn't helped us out back then we would have died in the cave."

"He's right. So don't mind what she said, she's just too reckless and headstrong," said Yuna as she shot a warning look in Caecilia's direction. The latter backed down, reluctantly.

"Creus."

"What?" They blinked at me in incomprehension.

"You guys can call me Creus. It should be my name…… I guess."

They all nodded; Caecilia even muttered my name under her breath a few times, complaining that it was hard to pronounce.

I then continued on, "According to you, I've saved you guys once, and now you have saved me, so let's call it even. No one owes anyone anything from now on."

The four of them nodded, and Igor even shouted out approvingly "Good man, Creus!"

I smiled before continuing, "As for helping you out with the assignments, I won't refuse, but I want a cut of the pay. I'll take a ten percent cut for midlevel healing and twenty percent for advanced level healing. Should you need divine spells, that'll be another ten percent – thirty percent in total."

"… …"

"Are you really a priest of the Church of Light?!" Caecilia burst out. "I thought that they're all kind and generous?"

I shrugged nonchalantly. "Who knows? I've lost my memories and don't remember anything. I could be from the Church of Chaos for all I know. And besides, you'd reminded me that in my current circumstances, I have neither companions nor my memory, so I have to depend on myself for food and shelter. If I have to start earning money, isn't it better to earn more than to earn less?"

At that, the three members all glared at their archer; Caecilia, on the other hand, looked remorseful.

When she noticed her group members glaring at her, she complained, "You're not at all like your cultured and elegant appearance!"

My appearance? I asked her curiously, "What do I look like?"

Caecilia leant closer to me and answered seriously, "Beautiful long golden hair, deep blue eyes, fair skin so soft to the touch……"

Fair? What does fair mean......? Hold on! Soft to the touch? "Wait a minute! How would you know my skin is soft to the touch? You didn't touch me, did you?"

"… … Ah!"

Caecilia froze and stared at me in mortification, before hurrying to explain, "I-I couldn't help it! It was when I had to change your bandages, and when helping to dress you I would of course come into contact with your skin. And how could I avoid touching when helping to bath you, or when turning you over on your side while you were unconscious, and……"

And? There's more? It'd be easier if you just list the times where you hadn't touched me.

Damn it! I've been molested by a woman, yet I wasn't awake to enjoy it?! That's not fair! And I'm never one to let things go! I always get even!

"You have to let me touch you in return," I told her.

"Okay--"

"Caecilia!" Yuna hurriedly interrupted. "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

And Caecilia immediately changed her tune in embarrassment, "No! I mean, of course not! You big pervert!"

What a pity…… I should have requested it from her while no one was around. Judging from her reaction, Caecilia didn't seem to mind being touched. No, not at all!

Caecilia embarrassedly ducked her head down at her companions' disbelieving faces, muttering, "Well, it was 'cause he's so handsome, so I agreed without thinking…"

"Think about the holy knight in his party and you won't think he's so handsome anymore," Yuna suggested.

Caecilia looked up at the ceiling. Even though there was nothing up there, her expression turned dreamy…… or should I say, starry-eyed?

After a moment, she looked back down at me before nodding in agreement with Yuna. "She's right, you're not that handsome after all!"

…… I suddenly don't feel as enthusiastic about meeting up again with my holy knight companion.

"Yeah, that holy knight was so elegant."

This time it wasn't Caecilia who spoke, but Yuna. In a manner belying her usual composed self, she recounted excitedly, "And he's so handsome and strong, and he looked like such a perfect gentleman. His voice is deep and mature, and he was pretty generous. He didn't even try to claim credit for saving us, and even apologised for taking our kill away from us, trying to push the spoils of the kill onto us in apology. And he advised us to leave the place to avoid even more danger…… Sigh, he's just too perfect!"

It was now Yuna's turn to go off in her own world.

"And very elegant! Real elegance!" Caecilia shot me a look before shaking her head and muttering, "Not like you, who is only elegant in appearance."

I felt a little miffed at this and retorted, "He may look elegant, but he might in actuality be an arrogant and selfish person at heart!"

"Impossible!" Yuna, Caecilia, and even Igor refuted me.

I was struck speechless. Even the male Igor agreed with them. Could it be that my holy knight companion really was as handsome and mature and elegant and overall great guy as they described?

I refuse to believe there's such a person in this world!

Just then, Walter said a little hesitatingly, "To be honest, that holy knight seemed a little too perfect, and felt rather fake."

I shot a commiserating look at Walter.

"Hey, what's that look for?" Caecilia demanded exasperatedly. She had caught our shared looks of commiseration. "We're talking about your companion! Or do you not wish for your companion to be a good guy but a loser?"

Huh, she's right. It's easier to bully them when they are good guys…… Huh? What kind of thinking is this?! I'm thinking of bullying people? Could it be……that…

I'm not actually a good guy?

"That actually makes sense. Why else would my thoughts be filled with money, women and about getting even?" I mumbled.

"What was that?" Caecilia asked me in curiosity.

"Nothing. I'm just a little worried." I raised my head to look at the group in front of me, asking warily, "How would I know that you guys are not bad guys?"

"How can you say that!" Caecilia huffed at me angrily. "Of course we're the good guys! Who else would help you and stay by your side instead of going off on our assignments whilst you remain unconscious! If we really were bad guys we would have dumped you in a gutter somewhere and gone off on our separate ways!"

"You've got a point."

I beamed at her. It seemed to have a positive effect, for both Yuna and Caecilia – who had judged me to be good to look at but otherwise beyond redemption – were staring at me with stars in their eyes.

Seeing this, I felt the ruffled feathers of my manly pride soothed. "So you guys are the good guys; that's great, ohohoho……"

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Walter muttered to himself, but he was distracted by a hearty slap on his shoulder by Igor who smiled at him and said, "Walter, you're always worrying about nothing! Haven't you always wished for a priest from the Church of Light? Now that a super strong one is here what are you fretting about?"

I had overheard their exchange and quickly turned to smile at Walter, hoping to reassure him, but instead, he blinked and motioned for the rest to quiet down. He then moved over to me, raising his right hand to slowly wave it in front of me.

I grabbed his hand and asked strangely, "What are you doing?"

Walter opened and closed his mouth several times before saying, "It's just, I felt something strange. Your eyes……"

"My eyes?"

"No, it's nothing. I'm probably jumping at nothing," he said. "It just feels like you're not looking at me."

"I am looking at you." I was indeed looking at Walter. The minute shifts in his face's muscles, the circulation of his blood in his body, the regular beating of his heart; I was looking at everything quite clearly.

"I must be oversensitive."

After that, Walter didn't bring up the topic of eyes again, and instead turned to more practical issues, namely—my cut of the pay.

He bargained with me, "Let's forget about divine spells – Yuna's a warrior priest, so her divine spells are definitely stronger than yours. So as your only use to us would be in healing, twenty percent is too much. Our group's policy is to deduct twenty percent of the pay for the group's expenses before dividing the remainder between the rest of the team."

"There are six people in the team, so deducting the twenty percent and dividing the remainder among six would be…… not even fifteen percent."

'What? That won't do!' I immediately haggled, "Twenty percent isn't a lot! I remember that light priests rarely leave the Church for these things, so we should be in great demand!"

"… … Are you sure you have amnesia?"

"If you don't want to then forget about it!"

"Alright, alright! Twenty percent, it is." Walter looked a little annoyed at that concession, but he then came back with the condition: "But you will have to cast the divine spells – Holy Blessings on us!"

Holy Blessings? Do I know that? I thought about it. The words Holy Blessings sounded familiar to me, so I probably did know it. Besides, even if I didn't really know how to cast it, it's not like they're going to kick me out then, right?

"Alright--"

I replied, but was distracted by something. I turned to the door whilst asking, "Does your thief, Archie, tie his hair in a ponytail?"

"That's right! Have you remembered something?" Walter asked in surprise.

Before I could answer him, the door was kicked open. "Walter!"

"Walter! Great news! There's a big job in the city…… eh? He's awake?"

The newcomer had a head of long hair tied in a high ponytail. He was short and thin, probably reaching only to my shoulder and being even shorter than Caecilia; about the same height as Yuna. His voice, however, was a great contrast with his small build, sounding like a foghorn blasting in my ears.

This should be the party's thief – Archie.

When Archie noticed that I was awake, he quickly calmed down. "Aiyah! You're awake? That's great, we can finally take up assignments again! But then the news I had heard this morning would have been for nothing……"

"What is it?" asked Walter.

Archie shrugged as he said, "There's a pretty big mission in the city that doesn't require leaving the city, and the pay's not bad too. I was thinking of hurrying back to share it with you guys."

"Is the pay a lot? What kind of mission is it?" I asked urgently.

Archie blinked, looking at me strangely. He then turned to the rest of his group members.

Walter gave a little cough before introducing me. "This is our new member, Creus. He's a light priest and will be staying with us until his friends come looking for him."

Archie made a sound of comprehension before welcoming me. He then began to excitedly explain the task. "You guys have heard about the unicorn that was in the city recently, right?"

Everyone nodded, with me being the exception. "Unicorn?"

"Oh, right, you were still sleeping, so you wouldn't have heard about it," said Caecilia. "A few days ago a party managed to capture a unicorn! They became famous overnight after presenting the unicorn to the Adventurer Guild."

Unicorn? An unfamiliar word. That still didn't clear up my confusion. I hurriedly asked, "What's a unicorn?"

"What?!! How can you not know what a unicorn is?!" Archie exclaimed in astonishment. His voice was so loud that I could hear a ringing in my ears and I felt a migraine growing in my temple…… How could the others stand this?

I turned to look at the rest of the party; there they sat, calmly and not at all like my flustered self. As can be expected of Archie's longstanding friends, they knew him all too well…… they all had their hands over their ears.

Walter removed his hands and explained, "Creus has amnesia."

"Guh?" Archie looked as if he had stepped into a pile of dogs hit.

Walter then turned to me and explained, "The unicorns are a rare type of magical beast. They look like white horses, except that they have a pearly white horn on their forehead. It is that horn which enables the unicorns to unleash their magic. The unicorns are particularly known for their lightning magic."

Magic? I hesitated. I couldn't for the life of me explain what exactly magic was, but it sounded almost as familiar as Holy Blessings, so……perhaps I knew it too?

When I mentioned my suspicions to them, they roared in laughter.

And the loudest of them all was Caecilia. "That's impossible! You are a priest, not a mage."

Is that how it works? A shadow of doubt remained in my heart. Do I really not know magic? But if that were so, why would the term 'magic' ring a bell with me?

"Oh, stop laughing at him, he's amnesiac! You guys are very impolite to laugh at him so."

Yuna was the only one who had refrained from laughing at me, and had even spoken up to scold the others. My opinion of her immediately improved. Her comparatively lesser figure suddenly didn't seem as great a flaw as before.

She gently explained to me: "We've never seen a unicorn either, and have only heard from stories and legends that they can call forth lightning magic, but as to whether that remains fact or fiction, your guess is just as good as ours."

Archie butted in, "And everyone knows too—sorry, I mean rumours - Yuna, stop glaring at me! It's true that that's what everyone says! – rumours tell that unicorns only willingly allow pure and innocent virgins near them."

They like only virgins? Sounds just like my kind of guy…… Cough! I mean – unicorns are such perverted beasts, serves them right for getting caught!

Just then, Archie glanced sideways – well actually, all the males in the group had shot surreptitious glances too – at the only two possible candidates for virgins – the two females in the group.

"Stop looking at me! Do you actually think I'm one?!" snapped Caecilia.

Everyone (including me) immediately shook their heads, before turning to look at the last remaining candidate – Yuna.

Yuna immediately ducked her head at the attention and turned red as a tomato, before her head gave the tiniest of shakes.

Even Yuna was no longer a virgin!

I was shocked, but saw that I was in good company. The rest, too, had dropped their mouths open in astonishment, especially Igor. The poor fellow looked as if his world had just ended before his very eyes…… looks like someone has a thing for Yuna…… oops, looks like it's even more serious than that, for even his eyes had started to redden in sorrow and anguish.

But it would seem that the rest were already aware of Igor's affections, for I was the only one to show surprise at his reaction; even Yuna hadn't looked the slightest bit surprised. I was the only one who had a shred of sympathy for him, it seemed, and when I moved forward to give him a consoling pat on the arm, he looked back at me in gratitude…… and made to bury himself in my arms and cry out his sorrow! Thank goodness for my fast reflexes! I successfully evaded him.

Archie heaved a sigh in disappointment. "Sigh, what a pity. After the unicorn's escape last night, the Adventurer Guild is now offering a reward of five hundred gold coins for its recapture."

I paused at that, before rushing forward in a flurry of motion and grabbed his shirt. "What did you say?!" I shouted.

Archie stuttered in shock, "W-what a pity…-"

"After that!"

"The unicorn escaped last night!" he continued quickly.

I growled at him.

Archie stared at me in disbelief. It wasn't merely because of my growl (though it was rather intimidating, if I do say so myself), but mostly because I had lifted him up by his shirt, his feet having left the ground and paddling in the air.

"A reward of five hundred gold coins will be rewarded to the one who manages to capture the unicorn!" he finished quickly.

Five hundred gold coins!

I let him down and began calculating. Twenty percent of five hundred gold coins would be – a hundred gold coins! All I need to do to get a hundred gold coins in my purse is to catch that darned pervert horse!

I immediately turned to the others and roared, "Alright! We're taking this mission!"

They stared at me. "But-but, we don't have a virgin……" Walter managed to say after a moment.

I smirked. "Don't we? Then how about we just go grab one instead?"

  6. ROFL!! Wow - best chapter ever!! I can't believe how FUNNY this is! Creus is finally true to himself, and what a 'himself' it is! ^o^ I agree with KuwaNeko that they totally won the lottery w/ Creus - if they knew what he could do, if HE knew what he could do, I'd say he'd demand, and probably DESERVE, a good 50% or even more! Especially considering, from our previous 'meeting' with that group, we know they're decent, average, and that's about it... Can't wait to see the people's beloved Sun Knight... stoop to kidnapping a sweet innocent girl and using her as bait for a unicorn!

    Ah, I am impressed with Walter though, for noticing Sun's eyes! Observant man, he is! Though you'd think, after the 'ponytail' comment, they'd start wondering about mage-sight, or at LEAST think he can see slightly into the future or something! Come on - NO ONE found that suspicious?? It is hilarious how Sun seems to have reached the conclusion that eyes are pointless and what he 'sees' is normal sight, lol!

  7. Yes! I love this! More chapters like this!

  8. I'm so so happy that you've posted a new chapter!!!
    I've missed LSK o(^▽^)o
    I think I'm going to like this book, it's just starting off so great!
    Oh and silly Creus doesn't he know he's probably the best unicorn bait out there hehehe.
    I wonder now that he doesn't have that Sun Knight title holding him back, will he get into a lot of trouble?
    Well thank you so much for giving us a new chapter.

  11. it was such a go0d read! Im excited of whats next to happen! Way to go lealyn! You just made my day. Yeah, its going to be m0re exciting! N0w, hes just himself, and no longer have to hold back (i hope he remembers hes GREAT in using magic). And its so amazing how the cave's adventurer last bo0k appears in the story. Amazing, so that was the purpose of that meeting, hmm, hmm, how clever.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Oh yes, thanks a lot! <3
    What a good chapter. Pure, innocent virgin? Well, Creus' got 2 (maybee? I mean he's sort of pure. Definitely not innocent whatsoever) out of 3, hahaha. I'm sure someone's getting the beating of their life back at the Adveturers', really, to lose a unicorn, of all beings, after a few days?
    I think that if they knew what Creus is capable of, they'd never let him go. Ever. And buff/heal/spell-slave him. Meanwhile in Echo everyone freaking and despairing.

    Whoops anyway, thanks a lot for your time and dedication! Every time I check the blog and there's a new update, I go all sweetmotherofgodkyah in delight. Cya~

  15. After many times of refreshing with no changes to the site, I almost thought I read wrongly when I saw "Move 1" instead of "prologue". Thank you so much for the new update Lealynn! ^^

    Hmm I guess amnesiac Sun left without wearing his Sun Knight uniform huh, otherwise they might have realised that he's supposed to be a holy knight and not a priest =O though he's really suited for being anything but a knight haha! Can't wait to see what happens next ><

  17. This chapter was so good! I already knew what was coming, but reading the whole thing translated by you is utter bliss... specially since I had to read it like 3 times in google translation to decipher what was going on around...

    I love you SO much for this! I wish I could send you real cookies instead of comments saying, 'here have a cookie' Oh, I'm super looking frowards the next one... It makes me feel all fluffy inside :3 and... poor guys in the party, they are doomed now that they let such a bad guy know that they are the "Good guys" easy prey from Sun's bulling muahaha

    ReplyDelete
  18. All the previous comments sum up most of my thoughts, so I won't repeat. Except this: Thanks so much for the new chapter!!!

    It should be interesting seeing sun use priest/mage/necromancer spells... after all, he didn't know the incarnation to them (except healing) to begin with, so I imagine something like 'there's a second to respond to something (attack, or defend) in a battle, and he just pops some magic out without anything to say, or do...' wanna see the groups reaction to something like that!!!! After all Creus won't really remember anything until he actually does it without thinking - that's how I imagine, but oh well, I'm just looking forward to more honest (?) Creus in this book!!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. LOVE IT!!! Creus is really amazing. Plus, he's finally true to himself. I'm really excited for the next chapters since i reckon Crus would be badass. I love the fact that his mage sight is now at a really developed level where he can activate it subconsciously.

    My only concern is that since he's blind, i wonder if he can still learn advanced magic? I hope he still can.

    Thanks for the great translation, the waiting was sooooo worth it. Ang galing mo!(you're great!)

  23. Ooh! Soooooooooo good! I do wonder about the 'can NEVER escape' thing - so was he actually kidnapped after he lost whatever fight? (If it was a fight, anyway, maybe he was just attacked out of the blue?) Can't wait to see what the plot beneath his amnesia plot is all about!! So exciting! Hey, is this the book that's supposed to be about dragons?! Though for the life of me I can't see it as having been a dragon that he fought and lost too, especially since he/she/it called him by his first name... And it looks like the Church of Chaos might be involved, since that's the country he ended up in, so maybe Pink? Ah, whatever ~ it's fantastic and can't wait for an update! Thank you!!

  32. Hiyo nooborto here, one scene I want to see is Sun trying to earn money during the breaks in between missions as a vendor.

    He forgot his past but somehow remembers how to make his skin care mask and apple wine.

    Once he has those he opens shop and starts saying things like "High quality apple wine here! Great taste and won't give you bad breath! You'll even be able to go on home or on a date with someone without worry of them finding out." and "Skin care masks for sale! Guaranteed to make your skin whiter,softer, and smoother!!"

    People doubt Sun at first but after trying them out they start to buy more causing everyone else to join in out of curiosity. He gets super popular and all of his teammates stare at him in disbelief as he rakes in the dough. Yuna and Caecilia rush him for the skin care products.


    Other scenario I wanna see is Caecilia comparing Sun to his master again saying he was such a grand knight whereas Sun was only beautiful and not noble. Then Sun takes Walters sword, kneels down, and uses his sun knight flattering(bullshitting) skills to win her over XD XD

    btw one question and then I'll stop-Does Sun hook up with anyone ?_? I mean....it's such a rare opportunity D: Sun rarely goes out(because of the mosquito's and is lazy) and this time he has memory loss so he has no obligation to remain single as directed by church of light :D

    ReplyDelete
  33. This volume is awesome since the people who saved him think of him as a mere priest and doesn't know that he is The Sun Knight and he can act to his true colors. Oh, maybe sun will finally get to touch a girl, which he hates Earth so much for.

    ReplyDelete
  34. OMG, I think Pink attacked Sun because Sun destroyed that little girl body she liked so much. I feel sorry for the world. Now, a brilliant and devious mastermind/priest/mage is on the loose and nothing can't stop his unbridled wrath(his armor & sword is no longer there to seal him).

    ReplyDelete

    even though creus lost his memory he's still as greedy and his personality remained.
    they'll be in for a surprise after discovering how capable he is.

    and also; he's NOT a priest!
    that won't be pretty once he remembers everything.

  42. Thank youuuuu

    XD Sun is such a perv! lol I wanna see how he'll react when he figures out that he’s the only virgin in the group, (XD even the girls aren't virgins XD) maybe because of that he’ll be able to capture the unicorn..

    Thank you sooo much!!

  45. Oh dear, I wonder what will happen to Sun's reputation if they find out who he really is... AGH I LOVE THIS CHAPTER AND CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE. Seriously. But take your time, and thanks for the hard work! :)

    ReplyDelete
  46. I got it, I know why Sun is so good with magic. It's his mage sight. Since his mage sight is ridiculously powerful, he was able to see the elements flow as they were casted. By mimicking the flow, he can cast any spell he wants.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Its probably just his latent talent. Since he was born, I guess, with mage sight and he is capable of all forms of magic , whereas others have to choose a primary element. So even though his body is filled with holy element, his capability as a magic user allows him to use all the elements. I judging that its simply his talent from how he was able to learn magic from just seeing it, because whenever he saw a spell, he was not using mage sight to see it but just regular vision. Plus his mage sight was not always that strong and was only after he lost his sight that he trained to to be super strong.

  50. Read it. Haha it's so hilarious. "pervert horse"

    It was so funny when Sun concluded "Oh, I must not be a good guy." and just went along with it. I really like how the author took the time to explain mage-sight in detail. It's sweet that Sun just has this instinct that he has companions. I enjoyed the way the author approached amnesia. I'm guessing that the first quote was from Pink.

    AWESOME chapter. TY SO MUCH!

  53. nooborto, are you certain thats going to happen? Have you by any chance able to get that fr0m that crappy go0gle trans? Wow, that would be so epic, lol, sun being him self is such a breather, im sure id miss his god of light dialogue in every sentence crap a little though. To answer your questi0n, SPOILER, SPOILER: he w0nt end with any0ne, yeah, i kn0w, its crap! There would be s0me hints every n0w and then but sadly, thered be almost no r0mance, its still a GREAT ending anyway. If by any chance, you cant hold on anym0re, id be willing to share s0me big "spoiler summary" links. Feel free to ask me. XD

    1. Nah I have no clue what's gonna happen, it's just my nature to come up with random things that I wanna happen XD

      Like hoping that when they get to some kingdom an undead army and some undead dragons attack the kingdom. Then Sun has to dive into one of the undead dragons after they get swallowed(cause it's a really hot girl) cuts his way out with his holy magic, and helps to kill all of the undead by breaking a water fountain/causing it to pour everywhere and blessing to make it turn into holy water.

      After the battle he's thanked by a actual dragon since he put his ancestors/brothers to rest. Sun becomes good friends with the dragon and afterward have a drinking contest with each other using Sun's newly made Apple wine. And sun wins~!! Dragon now knows not to underestimate a humans drinking abilities after getting a major hangover the next morning. Sun steals a little bit of gold as payment for the wine(though not really little) :)

      Afterwhich, there's a giant dance to celebrate the great victory where Sun and his entire team is invited. Caecilia says that he's not noble/knightly enough so refuses to dance with him. Sun gives a giant sigh and scratches the back of his head then gets down on one knee. "Most noble lady, my name is Creus. I would like to request the honor of kissing your hand and perhaps dancing with you." Sun then raises his head, smiles, and says "Will you grant me this selfish wish of mine?"

      So....ya that's just my imagination running wild. Could work for a fanfic though, but already working on one for another novel I like called legendary Moonlight Sculptor ;p

      Freaking sad that Sun doesn't end up with anyone ;( does he at least do anything perverted??? D: QWQ

      Oh and sorry for the late reply, hopefully the random scenario above makes up for it :D
