Chapter 542 - Chapter 15: Lancer Escaped Disaster (But Not Really)

Lancer spent nearly 20 minutes on thinking and drawing the Runic Symbols, but it actually took him less than 2 minutes from activation to finding the suspected target.

After completing the exploration, Lancer quickly left the consciousness space created by the Runic Symbols, because the exploration within the so-called 'consciousness space' is mutual. He was trying to find the abnormality on Kaguya Houraisan, and the other party could also observe Lancer through it.

When he disconnected from the consciousness world, Kaguya Houraisan also disconnected quickly, as expected.

But Lancer couldn't help but feel that the other party seemed to have become a little strange?

It seemed that because of Lancer gaze, Kaguya Houraisan subconsciously covered her face with her hand, but perhaps because of the haste, the sleeve only covered her face, and her flushed ears were exposed.

Lancer expression immediately became subtle. Could it be that —————— the other party saw something through the consciousness space? For example, with Leone... with Ryoko...

Lancer expression instantly became a little awkward, and the atmosphere in the room became weird again.

However, Lancer guessed wrong this time. Kaguya Houraisan did not see any strange scenes. After all, although the consciousness of both parties was temporarily overlapped through the 'Runic Symbols', neither party truly opened their hearts to the other. In this case, how could they see the other party's memory through the consciousness space?

The reason why Kaguya Houraisan became like this was entirely because the symbols Lancer arranged had a problem.

Simply put, after Kaguya Houraisan first entered the 'consciousness space', she was stunned for a moment, after all, she had never been here before, but then Lancer image made her feel a little strange.

Because the other party's image in the consciousness world was a knight wearing heavy armor all over.

She remembered Lancer once said that the self-existence in the 'consciousness space' is the collection of the subconscious. Kaguya-hime was a little girl curled up and wearing luxurious clothes, which indicated that she recognized her identity as a 'princess' but also regarded herself as a child, and seemed to resist communicating with the outside world.

So what about Lancer?

What did completely wrapping himself in heavy armor mean?

Fear of contact with others? Or simply protecting himself?

Perhaps even Lancer himself couldn't say clearly.

In addition to that, what caught her attention the most were the red threads wrapped around Lancer body. There were eight of them, and they extended outwards, leading to unknown places.

And she was curious and wanted to touch them, and then ——————

'The training in the Land of Shadows is really tiring, but the Queen told me that if I continue to work hard, I will have the opportunity to see him again. I wonder if Master will be surprised when he sees me again?'

A strange voice appeared in her mind...

Lancer found the general reason for the 'abnormal charm' on Kaguya Houraisan, and Kaguya Houraisan took the opportunity to hear the words of many girls, and the protagonist of their words was the man in front of her. That unconcealed love made her feel incredibly shy.

This was also the reason why she felt shy when she saw Lancer. After all, countless words related to the other party appeared in her mind as soon as she saw his face.

'Sure enough, all men are the same, even to me...'

She was muttering inwardly and suddenly froze.

Wait a minute, this man was not completely uninterested in women as she thought before. Does that mean he is simply not interested in her?

She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt so angry!

Kaguya Houraisan felt that she had been underestimated.

But just at this moment ——————

"Although I can't guarantee a complete solution to this problem, there is no problem with trying."

While speaking, Lancer grabbed the staff next to him, but Kaguya-hime, who was originally unhappy, instinctively leaned back a little, after all, normal people wouldn't like being constantly fed dog food (showing affection) in their faces.

Fortunately, this time Lancer didn't perform any strange operation, but just carved a Runic Symbol and then signaled Kaguya Houraisan to stand on it and try it.

And looking at Lancer expectant eyes (because of the task), Kaguya Houraisan also nodded after hesitating for a while.

'Anyway, I have the Elixir of Hourai...'

With this thought, Kaguya Houraisan also stood up and walked over.

And Lancer carefully looked at the bare feet... no, the Runic Symbol in front of him and found that it was operating very normal...

So the two watched the Runic Symbol activate. Just when they were expecting some strange light and shadow effect to occur, the originally bright Runic Symbol dimmed again...

"Did this work?"

Facing Kaguya Houraisan question, Lancer scratched his head in distress.

"Uh... I'm not sure either."

Undoubtedly, even Lancer himself couldn't be sure if he succeeded just now. After all, the current situation was indeed a little strange. Logically speaking, it should have succeeded... right?

——————

Yagokoro Eirin, who had been standing outside the window, slowly put down her bow and arrow when she saw the two 'waking up'.

This time, when 'Kaguya' was exiled to the ground, Yagokoro Eirin was the typical opponent. After all, in her opinion, it was too cruel. She understood the inner softness of this seemingly arrogant disciple better than anyone else. The reason why she became like this was entirely because of the excellence of her family, and the reason why she secretly consumed the Elixir of Hourai was only to hope that she could become stronger and gain the recognition of her family.

So she also secretly came to the ground to protect Kaguya safety. As for the strange 'charm' on Kaguya, it was the effect of the special potion she made, which was to ensure that Kaguya would not have any problems without her intervention. After all, even she could not casually violate 'Tsukuyomi's' orders.

However, the only thing that made her curious was that Lancer was actually immune to the 'potion' she made.

Although the medicine she made was not effective for everyone, this was the first time it had failed on the ground, but in her opinion, it was just an accident.

As for Lancer saying he wanted to undo the effect of her medicine, she couldn't help but show a mocking smile. Her medicine was very special (by chance). Even she didn't have a direct antidote and could only wait for the effect to disappear by itself. How did the other party plan to solve it?

Then, something that made her silent happened again. When Kaguya Houraisan stood on that Runic Symbol, the effect of the medicine on her indeed disappeared. No... rather than disappearing, it was temporarily sealed.

But just when she was surprised, the effect of the medicine on Kaguya Houraisan took effect again. It was then that Yagokoro Eirin noticed that Kaguya Houraisan had voluntarily stepped away from the strange pattern drawn by the 'magician'.

Yagokoro Eirin expression suddenly became subtle.

'What an interesting ability. I really want to use him for experiments... But no, once I make a move, it might expose that I have also come to the ground. At least not before I take the Princess back... No.'

In the end, Yagokoro Eirin still moved her 'greedy' gaze away from Lancer, but it was obvious that she had not given up. She had only postponed her plan.

And Lancer, who was full of excitement at this time, knew nothing.
