§ 128. Oracle (2)
[I am the head of Arenja and currently act as the Oracle of Kornsheim.]
Seongjin blinked.
Even though I tried to find out, the oracle that I couldn’t find any information suddenly appeared.
But if it’s Oracle, it’s Oracle, what is agency?
As if he had guessed Seongjin’s question in advance, the leader immediately added an explanation.
[The Oracle is a prophet of the Kornsheim clan. He is the one who chooses the right future and guides the clan down the path it should take. But unfortunately, our clan has now lost that prophet a long time ago. Therefore, I, who have the ability to understand cause and effect, even if it is insufficient, am acting on his behalf.]
In short, he was the person in charge of deciding how much information Arenja would leak.
“So, what if I leave out the most important thing in my self-introduction?”
He looked puzzled at Seongjin’s question and asked back.
[What do you mean by important?]
“What is your name?”
[…] iced coffee!]
The leader looked caught off guard for a moment and then answered immediately.
[For our clan, position is identity, so I was rude for a moment. My name is Rebekah. Suddenly, an important message came up, so I had no choice but to address it to you in this way.]
As the leader spoke like that, a light gray glow occasionally flickered in his eyes.
Those strange eyes. I’m thinking that it feels very familiar somehow.
[Sir, there are many things I would like to explain to you, but we do not have much time. Perhaps His Majesty will not like my interference very much.]
Father?
[yes. His Majesty wants your future path to be based on complete uncertainty.]
… Complete uncertainty?
Before Seongjin could ask what it meant, the leader of Arenja continued speaking hurriedly.
[The reason I am meeting you so suddenly is to minimize the impact of what I am about to say.]
That’s according to what the leader said.
He instructs an internal agent to deliver a message, and the agent relays the message to Director Bruno through channeling. A total of three disclosures of information are made before the Director finally informs Seongjin.
And the aftermath is going to be quite unpleasant. This is also a side effect that arises from damaging uncertainty.
“So, what are you trying to convey that is so important?”
[Yes, sir. It is nothing different, but I ask you to meet the saint first before visiting Scarzzapino’s mansion.]
“Saint? “You mean Sisley?”
[…] … .]
But there was no further answer.
After saying those words, the leader lowered his head as if to say hello. I thought he might stumble for a moment, but then he raised his head. And by that time, his eyes had already returned to their original dark green color.
Seongjin asked, doubtful.
“… “Are you the leader?”
“Yes, it is me. Lowering.”
Director Bruno frowned and placed his head on his head.
“It seems difficult for me to maintain this state for a long time. “It doesn’t feel good to have someone over my body.”
The manager added, rubbing his eyelids for a while as if he had a really bad headache.
“Hmm, the head of Arenja asks for your understanding for not being able to greet you properly before leaving. And I ask you not to forget my message.”
Before confronting Scarzzapino, meet the saint first.
“Why such a message out of nowhere?”
“well. “Perhaps Arrange’s predictions have suddenly changed.”
Director Bruno straightened up his slightly disheveled clothes and continued.
“I am guessing, but perhaps it is because you have just made up your mind to meet Prince Scarzapino in person.”
“… what?”
That’s all?
“If you want something done, it will be done…” It is said. “I don’t know the exact meaning.”
Wow, that’s right. That’s a detailed prediction. Was Prince Scarzapino such an important friend?
If that were the case, I would at least give you a hint to meet you sooner!
“But leader, the saint you mentioned earlier… … .”
Seongjin was about to ask something more, but immediately closed his mouth. This is because Director Bruno quietly put his finger to his mouth and made a wink.
“Please, my Majesty. Please understand that the series of processes that just occurred were designed to minimize the impact of the message.”
“… … .”
Oh, that’s tricky.
The reason why I said [Saint] rather than Sisley was because I was trying to avoid referring to a specific person, or… … .
‘Are you sure you mean that suspicious woman?’
But if you really mean Seo Yi-seo, how can you make a place for me tomorrow? Since you have already been grandly inaugurated as a saint, it has become difficult to tell people to come and go as they please?
Moreover, even if I actually try to meet her, I strangely don’t feel like it.
[why? Is something at stake?]
The Demon King, who had been silent earlier, suddenly intervened.
‘Oh, I really hate it and think it’s annoying?’
[That’s right… … .]
The Demon King seemed to be contemplating something, and then he made a cautious suggestion.
[hmm… I think so. If I hadn’t said it on Arrange, you wouldn’t have known anyway, right? How about just doing nothing?]
‘… ok?’
[I don’t know that field very well, but most things related to cause and effect are difficult to judge at once. He probably gave you advice earlier thinking there wouldn’t be a big problem, but isn’t there a good reason why your father insists on uncertainty so much?]
‘… … .’
[As you know, he is a man who walks a fine line and messes with cause and effect as he pleases. Is there anyone who can judge cause and effect more skillfully? If your father tells you not to do it, don’t do it. No matter what you do, what’s going to happen is bound to happen.]

Hmm, somehow the devil lord’s words sounded quite plausible.
Seongjin glanced at Manager Bruno, who was still frowning and tying his head, and made up his mind.
Although I do feel a little sorry for the leader who had a hard time playing the role of a psychic that was not suitable for him.
‘Okay, let’s just ignore it!’
After making that decision, I couldn’t feel more at ease.
‘ah! Now that I think about it, I think about it.’
[What?]
So, you’re saying that the head of Arenja decided that what he said wouldn’t cause a big problem in causality?
In the end, wouldn’t that be the same as saying that even if it was told to me, I wouldn’t have listened to it properly anyway?
[oh? Is that really true?]
Whether it’s the Oracle’s agent or something else, isn’t that a brave prophet in his own right?

“is it so? Milo Merchant Marine and Gray Plague, that’s an unexpected combination.”
That evening.
Dasha, who came to Jinju Palace, tilted her head after hearing new information from Seongjin.
“I had no idea they were involved in the Gray Plague. In the first place, Milo is a foreign company that distributes alcohol to Asean and Lohan. “I don’t think they are very active in Delcross other than supplying wine to some bars.”
“Since the main stage is foreign countries, is it possible that the remnants of the Dark Church that escaped out of Delcross could have been hiding?”
“If you think about it, it does.”
Dasha nodded and said.
“Anyway, let’s trace Milo’s whereabouts. “We will mainly investigate points of contact with the Dark Church and collect and report on the information as quickly as possible.”
Seongjin nodded with a satisfied expression.
Well, you always look competent.
“Oh, and if the information about the two people reported by Arenja is confirmed to be true, don’t be hasty and just monitor them.”
Then Dasha asked curiously.
“Isn’t this a member of the Dark Church that we finally found? Shouldn’t we find them and get information?”
“well. I don’t think they have that much valuable information. “If you steal it for no reason and use it to buy the top border, the subsequent investigation will become more difficult.”
The fact that they are poorly detained at the top may be proof that they are low-level lackeys who know nothing. Among the missing, the whereabouts of the most important inquisitors and priests are still unknown.
If there are any signs that the upper level is trying to silence them by killing them, it won’t be too late to steal them away.
“That also makes sense. “We will take action like that.”
Dasha answered coolly.
Even though the number of things to be investigated has been increasing recently, Dasha did not seem to be having a hard time. She has so many requests that she can’t even bring up the investigation into the transfer group.
However, the reality is that Seongjin, who does not have many people to rely on, has no choice but to rely on Dasha’s power to a large extent.
Fortunately, things that Seongjin himself did tend to turn out strangely.
When we went to the court to investigate, a plague was discovered, and when we visited the heresy court, the gate opened. The woman I came to ask about the Deleria butterfly suddenly became a saint.
“Ugh, I don’t know why everything I do is like this… … .”
“yes?”
“Uh, it’s nothing. By the way, how is your mother doing these days?”
Recently, Empress Elizabeth has not been visiting Jinju Palace. Since she had asked Dasha to investigate her, I only heard about her current situation through her occasional reports.
The Empress, who normally spends a lot of time engaging in various social activities, has been quite busy lately welcoming distinguished guests from Asin.
“Where are you specially supporting?”
“Everyone knows that the Empress loves ballet performances. In addition to the Châtelet Theater, which we have supported for several years, we have recently rented the Orange Theater for a long period of time and are inviting famous Brittany ballet companies on a rotating basis.”
“hmm… … .”
After all, wasn’t it the empress who was sponsoring a subversive organization in the name of Mores?
Anyway, the story was that I was doing relatively better than I thought.
“I’m glad if that’s the case.”
Since he never showed up, I was secretly worried that he might be sick somewhere.
Then Dasha asked curiously.
“Then wouldn’t it be okay to have a servant send a message to the Ruby Palace? “Why don’t you personally go to the Ruby Palace to say hello?”
… uh? Come to think of it?
Seongjin blinked.
‘Why have I never thought of visiting the empress?’
As for Seonghwang, haven’t we seen each other often lately?
It’s been quite a while since I haven’t been able to have a regular audience because the birthday party is just around the corner, but Seongjin often goes to the main palace and looks into his face to deliver various news.
‘Have I been too indifferent to the empress?’
Seongjin reflected deeply in his heart.
I’m not in a position to criticize Mores, calling him an unfilial son or something. Although there are some doubts, she still believes that Seongjin is her son and is the one who gives her affection.
“Yes, I’m going to visit the Ruby Palace in person… … .”
As Seongjin unconsciously made a sad face, the devil asked a question.
[Why again? What’s at stake?]
But, what should I do?
I’m sorry, but I still hate it and think it’s annoying.
[…] That’s right… … .]
The demon lord looked like he was thinking about something, and then he spoke cautiously.
[Then why not go? You’re so busy that you can’t pay attention to this place, right? Then, even if I went there, it would only be a distraction.]
‘… ‘I guess so too, right?’
okay. I don’t know the empress very deeply, but when I look at her, I can see a subtle obsessive temperament.
From what I’ve been up to, it seems like I’m working hard to schedule a day, but what if I mess up my schedule by visiting for no reason?
‘I’ll see you again when it’s your birthday.’
Seongjin was convinced.
After thinking like that, I couldn’t feel more at ease again.
* * *
Anyway, no matter what you do, what is going to happen is going to happen.
Yesterday, the Demon King said something like that, but Seongjin took it lightly as just a reasonable excuse.
However, the next day, when I finished my morning training and entered the palace, there were unexpected people waiting for Seongjin.
“hi? Brother. “If it’s okay, can we talk for a moment?”
“… … .”
Sisley, dressed in white priestly robes, greeted him with an expressionless face like a sculpted doll. Just like last time, he was holding something that looked like a small booklet with great care.
And what stands behind her.
“Shaaaaaak!”
It was Seo Yi-seo, a saintess who was barking at me like a cat on high alert.
