Chapter 215.1. Let’s Confirm The Current Situation
-Miu’s POV-
With her glossy ash-gray hair resembling silver, Takano Miu elegantly flowed down and her ice-blue eyes sparkling sat on the sofa with a perpetual youthful physique.
Crossing her legs on the sofa, she proudly puffed out her chest.
“Let’s weigh the options.”
“Um… You mean listen attentively, right?”
“You caught the difference in words. Well done.”
With a fluttering motion, Mii-chan playfully flapped her slender arms like a little bird, chirping away.
“I’m a little bird, a little bird.”
As she stood up, she waved her hands, revealing the mature 11-year-old Takano Miu-chan, with her head full of flowers.
She’s pouting cutely.
“Okay, enough fooling around. Let’s continue the conversation.”
With her flowing and beautiful golden hair, the peerless beauty and goddess, Frigg, clapped her hands and admonished the little chick-like Mii-chan.
Once again, sitting on the sofa, she elegantly crossed her slender legs and flashed an enchanting smile, resembling a piece of art.
“If it’s a boring conversation, I’ll continue my research. Young lady.”
“Oh, I’ll make you an iced café au lait.”
Grandpa Odin snorted, and the meek Freya carried a tray with a café au lait and approached the table, carefully placing it down.
This place where Takano Miu, Odin, Frigg, Freya, and Ant-san gathered was a divine realm. It’s known as My Room. Ant-san was a bit different but always present. I put Poyorin away since it bites the pillars.
There were terminals, stacked books, and documents all over, giving it the appearance of a research laboratory rather than a divine realm, but that’s just an illusion.
Freya diligently cleaned up empty wine bottles, which was quite helpful.
Holding the iced café au lait was set before her, Mii-chan wanted hot cocoa instead.
She then dropped sugar cubes into the coffee, feeling disappointed that they wouldn’t dissolve in iced coffee.
“Oh well, never mind. Let’s begin the meeting then.”
Casually passing a sugar cube café au lait to Ant-san, I started speaking with a determined and commanding expression.
“Let’s review the current situation. First, there’s Nidhogg.”
“The remaining foes are Sinmara, Aegir, and Hrungnir, right? And then, the boss, Skadi, correct?”
As Frigg counted on her fingers, I nodded in agreement.
“That’s right. Plus, the true boss, Thiazi, is a formidable opponent. And there’s also the mysterious mercenary.”
“The immortal army, Aegir, wouldn’t be much of a challenge, right? So it’s probably Sinmara, Hrungnir, Skadi, and Thiazi.”
Grandpa Odin chimed in, his one eye gleaming.
Aegir was indeed a bonus character.
In Loki Mode, with Freya’s support, and Grandpa Odin and Frigg-oneesan’s help, Aegir wouldn’t be a problem.
“But that’s in individual battles, right? This is reality. I think it’s possible they’ll all attack at once.”
Mii-chan swung her legs back and forth, looking at everyone seriously.
Ant-san skillfully ate the sugar cube café au lait with its front paws, quite an impressive feat.
“In that case, should we gather everyone and attack together… or maybe just wipe out their base?”
“Freya’s right, but it’s dangerous when all enemies gather, you know?”
“There are ordinary believers in their base, and powerful magicians should be there too.”
Freya is taking a sip of her café au lait.
Though I knew it, attacking the enemy’s base could be troublesome.
“Well, can’t we just ignore that? If we blow up the island. There will be fewer enemies left.”
Freya chimed in, nonchalantly comparing people to bugs as always.
“That’s extreme. Hmm…”
“No, Freya!”
Mii-chan hesitated with her arms crossed, but surprisingly, Frigg-oneesan slammed the table with a stern expression.
It turned out she was unexpectedly caring.
“What about the treasures? They’ll all turn into sea debris!”
As expected, she was a goddess who cared about the treasures.
“In any case, Freya’s suggestion is rejected. We need to obtain Crowley’s Box, and I assume Laevateinn has fallen into their hands.”
“Certainly, as the young lady said. If one artifact is in their possession. They had the others too. The enemies seem to be more powerful than in the original story.”
Grandpa Odin confirmed.
It was probable that the enemies already had the remaining artifacts.
Without all the artifacts, Ashtaroth couldn’t achieve complete resurrection.
So, becoming sea debris was not an option.
“Is it confirmed that the mysterious mercenary is Shin?”
“There’s a possibility that someone else with similar magic and abilities could be involved. But the possibility of it being Shin isn’t low, right?”
I tilt my head at Frigg-oneesan’s words and speak my reasoning. After all, he’s the one who uses [Perfect Resist Magic] on his golden form. The possibility of Shin would be extremely high.
“In that case, why would Shin be in an adult form? Also, does Sena, who seems to know him, match his age?”
“Yeah, do you have any deductions?”
I relied on Grandpa Odin.
“Analyzing that person should provide the answer.”
A straightforward and brute-force approach.
It was indeed the most reliable method. Mii-chan knew there were some problems with it.
