The Oracle
Translated by Omkar

Around two years ago.
The Kingdom of Filianis is one of the largest single-ethnic elven nations – but it’s as small as a city-state with a population of less than 20,000.
The earth mother goddess sent an oracle to the royal family of such a small country.
After the Year of the Dragon, the enclosed “chaos” will awaken. Darkness will cover the world, and all living things will be swallowed up.
You must find the one who will succeed the hero. The one with the Eye of God.
You shall send the Priestess of Light. She shall illuminate the dark night and lead us through “chaos”.
The year of the dragon – two years after the time of the oracle. Although the details of the years after that are unknown, the oracle said that the enclosed chaos will awaken. If this happens, the world will be destroyed.
The spread of oracles could bring confusion to the world. There was also the risk of being attacked by neighboring countries for misleading the public with false rumors.
Thinking so, the royal family begins to investigate in secret.
In order to determine who the “successor to the hero” in the oracle is, information was gathered from all over the world.
Then, they came across a person.
The eldest daughter of the Verdemion family, a prestigious family in the Holy Kingdom of Grand Delia.
Marianne Verdemion.
In the year of the Oracle, she received the extremely rare unique skill [Heavenly Eye] in the “Blessing Ceremony”
This skill, which was said to be possessed by a hero, is said to be able to determine the true nature of all things.
Within six months of receiving the skill, she succeeded in defeating a dragon species alone, albeit a medium-sized one. She was also praised as “successor to the hero” because she possessed the Heavenly Eye.
The title is very similar to that of an oracle, and if the [Eye of God] means the [Heavenly Eye] then…
Great expectations were brought to the Kingdom of Filianis.
It was then decided that the “Priestess of Light” would be sent to her.
At the time of the oracle, it was known who the “Priestess of Light” was.
The symbol of the Royal family of Filianis is “light”. Among the royal family, which is said to have the power to communicate with the Earth Mother Goddess, the current queen is a “priestess,” and her legitimate child is called “Priestess child”.
The queen has one legitimate child, Sylphina Est Filianis.
In particular, she had an anecdote that she had conversed with the Earth Mother Goddess since she was three years old, even though she had not been given any unique skills.
A group of elves stands out for traveling through a nation of people.
Therefore, with a few guards and a rank B appraiser, Sylphina’s journey began.
The name of the trip was “Pilgrimage to the Land of the Great Mother Goddess”.
However, after receiving information that they had entered the Holy Kingdom, the princess and her party were nowhere to be found.
No one knew the truth at the time. Even the boy who got the “divine eye” hasn’t read the details yet.
The princess and her party were resting near a small town in the Holy Kingdom.
One of the appraisers went to the town to buy some daily necessities.
But he never came back.
Instead, a mild-mannered-looking priest came to visit the princesses.
Bad luck or divine guidance?
This man pretending to be a priest was the great bandit Hegel Oys.
Hegel became suspicious of the elven traveler rummaging in the stores and used Rowe to invite him into the back of the church.
He detected that the person was an appraiser, captured him, and tortured him to get all the information he could out of him.
When he came in contact with the princess and her party, he used his unique skill of “fraud” to make them trust him, poisoned their meals, and killed everyone except the princess. He makes the princess drink a magic potion to erase her memory and takes her away as an orphan.
Sooner or later, the Elf Nation will come looking for the princess. When they did, he planned to charge them a huge amount of money for her protection.
Even if that didn’t happen, he would be able to sell her for a good price, since he had taken the proof that the girl he had captured was the princess.
That’s what he had in his mind.
However, his plan did not come to fruition.
He was killed by a boy with the “Appraisal ” in an attack.
After losing contact with the princess and her party, the kingdom secretly dispatched search parties around the world.
However, due to the fact that the princess and her party were secretive, and the search was conducted in secret, their whereabouts were unknown.
Then, about a year after the princess’ disappearance…
Liserotte Kiewel, Liza, who belonged to the Royal Guard of Filianis and was in charge of searching for the princess, was trembling with joy and excitement. She was so happy that her vision was blurred with tears.
At last, at last, she has found Princess Sylphina.
How I had longed and dreamed for this moment.
Musashi and I split up to check out a large inn when we spotted a boy and a girl running down an alley. The boy was holding the girl, and her hood was up, exposing her lovely features and pointed ears.
At first glance, I recognized her as Princess Sylphina.
It’s not surprising that I was struck by a shock like being struck by lightning.
“Lady Sylphina, ……”
My angel, my goddess of mercy, my little holy mother.
For Liza, Sylphina was an object of reverence more precious than faith, even more than the Lord and Master for his subjects – or, if you’re prepared to be punished, even more than the Earth Mother for his followers.
In the past, when Riza was still an apprentice. When she was unable to control her magic and was being ridiculed by those around her. A messenger from the Earth Mother appeared to me.
That person was Princess Sylphina.
She was a young girl with a short tongue, and God Mother Earth had taken the trouble to give me advice for my failure.
It was thanks to her that she joined the Royal Guard and came to be considered as the next captain.
There are many other factors that I like about her, such as her cuteness and kindness, but the main reason is that I was indebted to her.
“Hmm?”
While I was impressed, a red-haired knight in red armor passed by. She seemed to be chasing after Sylphina and the others. And from further behind, Musashi was secretly following them.
Well, it makes sense if you consider that the knight who found the culprit of the “Priest Killer” is pursuing him, and that knight is probably Musashi’s love interest.
Liza’s goal is to rescue the princess.
She suppressed the urge to tear herself away from the boy, embrace her and bring her home right now. She climbed up to the roof of a house overlooking the central square of the city to follow the red-haired knight and Musashi, intending to support them from afar.
However….
“Why are those two fighting?”
When Musashi attacked the boy, the Red-haired Knight intervened to protect the boy and entered the battle with Musashi.
Two people who were also hunting down a criminal, why? Before Musashi appeared, the knight and the boy were talking, but what was going on there?
I don’t know why anymore.
No, but wait.
That Red-haired Knight is definitely Marianne Verdemion with the [Heavenly Eyes].
She is praised as “successor to the hero” and at the same time, she is called a saint of great character and full of compassion.
Even if there is some glorification, it may be in an attempt to protect the unrestrained criminals.
Then, the problem was Mousasi.
He craved and longed for a fight with the [Heavenly Eyes] holder.
Maybe he was so excited that he couldn’t see what was going on around him.
If that’s the case, I have to stop him or else we’ll get into a lot of trouble.
It pains me to interfere with a serious game that he himself wanted to play, but…… and I’ve just set up my magic gun.
“What?”
Another inexplicable situation occurs.
In response to Musashi’s lunge, the boy from The Priest Killer came to Marianne’s aid.
“What do they mean ……?”
I was surprised at his fighting ability to intervene in the fight between those two, but I couldn’t read his intentions.
Feeling indebted to her for covering for him earlier? A criminal who would kill a priest and kidnap a girl? That’s impossible.
“You don’t think those two became friends, do you?
I tried to laugh it off, saying that was impossible.
“What?”
Marianne struck the boy with her sword, which was flung into the air. Obviously, she was trying to get the weapon to him. In fact, the boy is reaching for the sword coming at him.
“I knew those guys had joined forces!”
I passed the magic power through the magic gun. As shooting through the gun could destroy it, I kept the power low and accurately hit the bottom of the handle with the magic bullet. As planned, the sword was passed to Musashi.
“Huh? But how could he be a friend?”
It was the first time I’d ever had to lend a helping hand to someone, but couldn’t I think of another possibility?
Liza observed the “priest-killer” boy again.
He looks normal. He looks like any other boy. He doesn’t look like someone who would kill a priest and kidnap a girl for no reason.
But he was skilled enough to play with Musashi’s sword. I couldn’t judge him by his appearance.
But could it be that he is a victim of some kind of incident? For instance, maybe the priest was the evil one who kidnapped Sylphina, and the boy had no choice but to kill him, save the princess, and escape.
If that was the case, it was conceivable that Marianne, knowing what was going on, would help the boy. And Musashi was, well, that kind of guy.
“It’s not good. It all makes sense now.”
And if you think about it, Sylphina and Marianne are currently in the same place.
“The Priestess of Light” and the most promising candidate to succeed the hero.
Wasn’t their departure a year ago meant to bring them together?
If that’s the case, what we should do now is….
“We have to stop this quickly.”
End the battle.
On top of that, I’m dying to know the situation myself, so let’s talk it over.
Musashi wanted to fight Marianne, but that would have to wait for another time.
With that in mind, she tried to jump out of the car. But her body stiffened. The situation was that surprising.
“Bullsh*t…….”
Musashi, he’s down.
They crushed each other’s weapons, and after a handful of fists, it was one-sided. The boy hit him with a series of fists, and finally Musashi was blown away.
The game was over.
The boy, however, chased after Musashi.
Even from a distance, one of Musashi’s arms was bent in an impossible direction, making it impossible to continue fighting.
Is he going to give such an opponent a relentless chase – an attempt to finish him off?
“He’s an evil man after all.”
However, I must not kill him. I fired off a magic bullet with a little less force.
As it turned out, the magic bullet hit the boy just as he aimed.
What followed confused Liza again.
Marianne began to flail about as if she had lost all reason.
If I don’t, Sylphina will be in danger. If anything happens to her, I will be–
Liza jumped out of the way.
She used her limited skill, “Wind Spirit’s Robe,” to fly through the sky.
Finally, the moment she had been waiting for arrived.
“Lady Sylphina, we’ve come for you.”
I can’t keep my voice from trembling.
Sylphina turned her pure and dull eyes to Liza, just as she used to do.
“Who are you……? How do you know my name?
“Yes?”
I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know that Sylphina is not one to tell a bad joke. So, this situation is …….
“Amnesia?”
“Uh, yes……. Are you someone I know?
There was no time for stupefaction. At any rate, behind me was the roar of a beast and a whirlwind of screaming and snarling.
“It’s a good idea to leave this place for now. Lady Sylphina, this way please.”
“But, but ……”
Sylphina was anxious about Liza’s appearance behind her.
When she turned around, Marianne, who had lost her reason, was attacking the boy. The boy desperately dodged the attacks.
Then her eyes met the boy’s.
Without thinking, I raised my gun. She couldn’t tell if he was on her side or not.
However–
“Sylphy! Go with that person!”
“What?”
The surprised voice belonged to Liza.
“That person is on your side! So do not worry, follow her!”
“But, Mel, are you going to ……?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll catch up with you later. I can’ t leave this situation unresolved, can I?”
“……Okay”
Sylphina tugged at Riza’s sleeve. ‘Let’s go’ she said with her eyes.
Why? What for? Riza was confused again.
Why did he suddenly appear in front of me and assume that I was an ally after just one glance? Didn’t he suspect that I was the one who interfered with him with a magic bullet? Is it because we are elves? That’s not a good enough reason to make a determination.
A passage from the oracle flashed through my mind.
–He is the one who has the Eye of God.
No way……
Liza’s consciousness turned inward for just a moment.
“Run!” The boy shouted.
“Aaaaaaahhh–!” Marianne rushed forward.
She immediately aimed her magic gun and shot out everything she could. However, all of them were crushed by the big sword.
“Ah…….”
She’s going to kill me. If I don’t do something, we’ll be killed.. At least that Sylphina and she thought. She was about to send her small body flying, when…
There was an explosion on Marianne’s back. The damage was minimal, but Marianne turned around and sprinted, screaming.
It was only for a moment, but Liza was sure she saw it.
The attack on Marianne was a magic bullet, the same as her own. That’s what the boy had fired. But he doesn’t have a magic gun.
Wasn’t he a good enough swordsman to overthrow Musashi in the first place?
The mysterious boy ran. He lured Marianne to a large rock in the square.
Quiet–
Silence reigned over the place.
As if the hustle and bustle of the past had been a lie, everyone – even Marianne, who had lost all reason – stood there and stared in amazement.
The scenery was so unbelievable that everyone’s eyes were glued to it..
It has been about 300 years since the death of the heroes.
Many warriors have challenged it, and many bandits have tried to take it away, but were unable to do so.
A simple sword with no clever design, exposed to the elements and still intact, now…
–It was pulled out.
It was pulled out by a young boy who had been given the [Eye of God], which no one else could have.
