222 – EP.9.5 Exchange Meeting-3
***
In a space like a hotel banquet hall, familiar dimensional management gods were gathering and chatting.
A long table was placed at the edge of the banquet hall, and on the table were various foods showing off their own colors.
While each person was telling their stories, someone appeared on the stairs coming down to the banquet hall.
With the appearance of that being, the murmurs stopped all at once.
There was a strange light on the faces of the dimension management gods gathered in the banquet hall, and the person who came down looking down at them had a special halo.
As she came down halfway down the stairs, she lightly rested her body on the railing and lifted the glass she was holding.
“For the sake of my management, I once decorated it with a trendy feel… But I don’t know what it’s like.”
She took a look at the decorations in her banquet hall.
“This is my first exchange meeting since I moved up to level 2, and I hope you enjoy it. It’s an exchange event.”
Just like that, she snapped her fingers and a glass was placed in the hands of everyone in the ballroom.
The dark orange drink began to slowly fill up from the bottom of the glass.
“Alright then, let’s start the exchange meeting. Have a good time, everyone.”
As she raised her glass, classical music began to echo through the ballroom.
The exchange meeting hosted by Nivir, the second-level dimensional manager, has now begun.
After Solari asked for understanding from Lunin and Empen, she walked around the banquet hall.
She looked at the faces of the dimension management gods gathered in groups of twos and threes and looked for Nivir.
A thought arose deep in her heart, ‘Aren’t we doing this for nothing?’, But she was a principled person.
Solari walked around the large banquet hall, but she could not find Nivir.
‘Are you in your room?’
I saw a spiral staircase going up from the center of the banquet hall, and a room at the end of the staircase.
Solari climbed the stairs without hesitation. A few eyes turned to her, but she soon seemed to lose interest and looked elsewhere.
He’s a 4th level god trying to impress a 2nd level god, because he’s widespread.
Solari stood in front of Nivir’s room, which was separated by a thick curtain.
Until the very last moment, she had thoughts that were holding her ankles, but she shook them off with one swallow of her saliva.
She was a principled person.
“Senior Nivir. I am Solari.”
Therefore, it was natural to report abnormalities that occurred at the management level.
***
There were already passengers in the room that Nivir had given permission to enter.
The passenger was a face that Solari knew. She couldn’t know because it was a face she had seen before and she couldn’t forget it.
“…….”
The passenger must have remembered her face, as her expression changed into something bizarre.
It was natural for Solari to feel uncomfortable about this uncomfortable encounter, but she couldn’t.
“Uh huh, hands are going down?”
A voice that was 180 degrees different from the one that announced the start of the exchange meeting came out of Nivir’s mouth.
A view of Solari sitting in her chair and Rana El standing next to her on her knees with her hands raised.
Solari tilted her head at the strange scene.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you like this. How have you been?”
Anyway, Nivir looked at Solari with her usual benevolent expression.
“Ah, yes. I had a good time.”
As Solari answered with a puzzled look on her face, Nivir had a deep smile on her face.
“I know from reports that the level you are managing has the highest stability rate. Although it was briefly shaken recently, it soon stabilized, so I thought you did a good job.”
Nivir continued to praise Solari without even looking at Lana El, who was already standing next to her.
Solari scratched her face as she felt embarrassed by the senior’s compliment.
“Looking at the level I’ve accumulated now… I may soon be promoted to level 3. It’s like looking at my old self.”
hehehe, Nivir was laughing and secretly boasting about himself.
It wasn’t an unpleasant boast, because no matter what anyone said, Nivir was a capable dimensional manager.
Solari, who quietly listened to Nivir’s praise, was only able to open her mouth when Nivir took a moment to drink the drink in his glass.
“Hey… Senior. I have something to tell you about none other than the dimension I manage.”
“Story?”
Nibir’s eyes widened slightly as he handed over his drink in surprise.
“Yes, it is exactly ‘report’.”
Solari’s gaze turned to Nivir’s side.
“…Ranael, would you like to go out for a moment?”
Nibir, who realized that this was a serious matter, spoke to Ranael.
As soon as Nivir’s words fell, Lanael stood up from his seat and left the room in a hurry.
Solari’s gaze, which had been following his outrageous actions, soon turned to Nivir.
“Take a seat.”
Solari sat on the chair in front of him.
“It seems like something pretty serious. What’s going on?”
At Nivir’s question, Solari felt his mouth go dry.
His heart ate, but he did not willingly open his mouth.
“It’s okay, let me know when you’re ready.”
Nibir gave her enough time to get ready.
After a while, Solari was ready and opened her mouth.
“It is a case that has already been dealt with, but….”
Solari told Nivir everything.
There is a soul that has flown in from somewhere and is possessed.
That the soul is a noble soul.
There is some kind of magic attached to that soul.
“Solari, is that spirit in your dimension?”
Nivir, who was listening to her explanation, interrupted Solari and asked.
“No, I couldn’t solve that spell… So I ended up handing it over to someone else like a bomb.”
When Solari spoke regretfully, Nivir laughed.
“No, it was an issue that could easily be hidden. But you are telling me honestly.”
Nibir came closer and tapped her on the shoulder.
“Actually, that spirit came to me too.”
As if trying to appease her, Nivir casually tells her incredible truth.
“Yes?”
Solari looked up at Nivir, her eyes wide.
“Fortunately, in your dimension… He acted as you planned, so it seems like the causality wasn’t too far off. In my dimension…”
Nivir shook her head as if she didn’t want to think about it again.
“When I think about how hard I worked to correct the distorted causality…”
Nibir’s gaze turned sharp and looked towards the place where Lanael had gone.
Tuk-tuk, Nivir tapped Solari’s shoulder twice.
“Anyway, I know about that too. I’m also tracking it in my own way.”
“If you say tracking….”
Solari asked cautiously.
“Oh, it’s better to tell you in advance. I made a contract with a mortal from my dimension. I’m tracking down that soul.”
“You made a contract directly with a mortal. Why didn’t you do it yourself…?”
“I have to do it secretly… Because if I move it myself, everyone will know.”
Once again, Nivir’s gaze turned to the place where Lanael had disappeared.
“We are tracking the traces of dimensional movement and will visit your dimension soon. You won’t be able to notice because it is moving secretly, but don’t be too surprised if you observe it.”
Grinning, Nivir laughed.
– Wow
At that time, a loud alarm rang in Solari’s head.
It was a kind of alarm set up by Maria in case she behaved strangely.
“Oh, wait… I’m sorry.”
She placed her hands on her temples and closed her eyes.
Is it already time to punish the religious denomination?
Solari thought Maria had moved faster than expected.
“……”
Solari, who had been quietly observing the situation, opened her eyes.
“It seems like the mortal you sent has come to my dimension.”
“He’s not a nobleman. …But how did you find out? He must have moved quietly.”
“Ah… I didn’t detect the entrance. However, I found out through contact with the person I was eyeing.”
“Ah, that might happen. What should I do with this… Maybe I’ll be found out soon.”
“By the way, senior.”
Solari carefully asked Nivir, who was worried.
“How many mortals have made that contract?”
Solari was very cautious, as if she wanted to check something.
“One person.”
Nivir stretched out her index finger.
“That….”
Something is wrong. It was Solari’s idea.
Just as Nivir felt strange at the sight of her junior stuttering, Solari asked again.
“Isn’t it Two people?”
