It’s a small place a little further to the right from the temple, but do you know a city that has never been conquered by anyone, except once?

The land that was like trash when it was human land became a city that achieved tremendous development as soon as it was touched by the constellation.

And that city was a nebula that was one of the three fingers of the East, and one of the ten nebulas in the entire continent. It was a place where a powerful nebula was located.

We arrived at such a city.

To the city of technological advancement and export, ‘Peninsula’.

-We sincerely welcome you to the ‘Peninsula’, a city of technological advancement and export.

“It’s definitely great, it’s great. In the Western Continent, Sephiroth is considered the best place to live, but in the Eastern Continent, this place is probably considered the best place to live.”

“Is that it?”

“Of course! You may not know, but the fact that it was able to develop to this extent means that not only is public safety good, but the people’s civic consciousness is also good.”

“Hmm~.”

“However, the people of this city are crazy and hate everything that is different from them. So, Enoch, if you don’t want to hear bad words, you’d better cover your ears.”

“Um… …Well. Okay.”

Enoch wore earplugs.

And everyone in this city was wearing earplugs.

Those earplugs are the ones that the people of this city wear to listen to music or block out noise. Since this is a city accustomed to hate, they wore them to avoid hearing that hate.

Enoch was wearing better earplugs than they were, and he set it so that the only sound he could hear was my voice.

I don’t know why, but it felt good to see Enoch smiling and being happy.

But, looking at the earplugs now, I see that they were set to repeat mode, so I was listening to the same sound over and over again.

What on earth do you hear that makes you smile so happily?

“Enoch. Are you okay?”

“Uh, yeah? I’m fine.”

“Does anything hurt?”

“Yeah. Of course, I’m in top condition right now. Lisa isn’t sick, right?”

“Of course.”

“Okay. Okay, then. Let’s go.”

“Yeah.”

We will go find a shaman here.

Because several constellations told them that he could help restore Enoch’s memories.

I asked several people walking down the street to find a shaman.

But most people just said they didn’t know and passed by.

There I felt a strange sense of discomfort.

Surely, there must be someone great enough to restore Enoch’s memories, so why doesn’t anyone know about it?

Why doesn’t anyone know about this person, who was recommended by the constellations?

I’ve never been here before so I don’t know anything about him.

How can I find it if the people here don’t know?

We continued walking down the street and asking people.

People didn’t know anything.

More and more, I started to get annoyed.

Stop.

Then Enoch suddenly stopped.

I told Enoch, who had stopped, to go, but Enoch just stared blankly in one direction.

People who saw us standing in the middle of India said, “Why are they doing that?”, “It looks like a woman is being dragged around.”, “Isn’t there something strange about the man?” as they passed by.

I wanted to hit them one by one.

This was not possible here, because violence itself was against the law.

Enoch looked at me and spoke to me.

“Sister. Follow me.”

Okay.

Enoch took my hand and started running.

I asked why, but Enoch didn’t say anything and just ran.

And Enoch went into a narrow alley.

Enoch went ahead. I stopped in front of the alley.

Enoch asked.

“Sister. What are you doing there? You’re not coming.”

“If you can go, shouldn’t you go?”

“Why can’t you come? You can just pass by like this.”

“… … Enoch. Look closely.”

I squeezed my way into the alley.

But it got caught on my chest and butt and I couldn’t get in.

“Okay. Did you see it?”

“Ugh… … .”

“Yeah. But why is your face so red?”

“Oh, no… … .”

“Where does it hurt?”

“Oh, no… … .”

“Are you okay? Do you not need to go to the hospital?”

“Ah. No!!”

Enoch ran away, passing sideways through an alley I couldn’t enter.

I was startled for a moment by the sudden shout.

I realized I had missed Enoch.

“Okay, wait a minute!! What if you go first like that!!!”

Enoch’s voice did not answer.

That’s how I missed Enoch who went into the alley.

But, even if I missed it, I missed it once. I didn’t miss it twice.

[Recover the holy relic, ‘Clone Body’.]

[Constellation, ‘The Corpse of the Falling World’ looks at you.]

I returned to the sanctuary and saw Enoch passing through the alley beyond the screen.

There was a large empty space across the alley, and Enoch grabbed the doorknob there.

And as he was about to open it and go in, Enoch looked in the direction of the screen and said.

“Not coming?”

Enoch’s provocative words left me no choice but to follow.

Are you teasing your older sister?

Seriously, he was the kind of brother I wanted to hit.

[Sponsoring the Holy Relic, ‘Clone Body’.]

“I’m here.”

“Come on in.”

bean!

“Ouch!”

“This is the punishment for teasing my older sister. So, now all that’s left is… … .”

Enoch was holding a huge doorknob.

And this door had two doorknobs.

Enoch pulled the doorknob he had been holding, but the door would not open.

So I grabbed the doorknob next to it and pulled it.

We pulled the doorknob and opened the door.

Squeak!

And beyond that door, there was a woman dressed in red, and behind her, there were pictures with red glowing eyes.

Enoch and I were momentarily overwhelmed by the atmosphere, but when I let out a quick gasp, the woman stepped back in surprise.

We were able to realize once again that we are stronger.

“Hey, hello, your Majesty!!”

The woman in red said.

I asked.

“Are you that shaman bitch?”

“Yes!! That’s right!! So please, just spare my life.”

“… … Okay. Then, I’ll spare your life. Okay? ”

“I know! You just need to help this handsome young master regain his memories, right? The spirits have already said everything and left.”

“Okay. Go ahead. Let’s see how well you do.”

“First, come in here.”

We came in through the door.

The shaman covered Enoch’s eyes with a cloth and lit a candle placed in front of the painting.

Next, he created a live chicken from somewhere and sprinkled its blood around Enoch.

Enoch frowned, seeming displeased by the matter.

But the shaman paid no attention to him and held two sticks with bells in each hand.

He circled around Enoch and shook the stick.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Then, the chicken blood sprinkled around Enoch changed its brightness according to the loudness of the sound.

As the sound of the drops stopped, it spread out to the center.

Fortunately or not, there was no blood on Enoch’s clothes.

A circle of blood was created around it, creating a gory atmosphere.

And some of the paintings were shattered.

pop!

At the sudden explosion, the candle flame went out and the space itself became dark.

The shaman fell down.

And then it convulsed.

But fortunately, Enoch was fine, just sitting in the middle of the circle.

The shaman came to her senses.

“The spirit… … needs a price. Hey, Sister. What is the most valuable ‘thing’ you have?”

“A valuable item? Well… … These clothes are valuable. The mask is valuable. The photo album is valuable.”

“Then, choose the one that is the most valuable among them.”

“Hmm… … I guess, a mask? Because this is something that symbolizes my old self.”

“Okay. Then, give it to me.”

“Okay. Instead, what if I run away with this? ”

“No, don’t worry. Then, I’ll start again.”

The shaman lit the candle again and bowed her head to the exploded paintings.

And then I put the goblin mask I had given him in front of him.

The shaman bowed before it and performed a ritual.

At that moment, a dazzling white light came out of the goblin mask.

In the goblin mask, the pieces that made it up turned into light and disappeared.

The dazzling white light was that piece.

I blankly watched the goblin mask being offered as a sacrifice.

I wondered how many points the constellation that received it would have earned.

And if I don’t get the results I deserve, I’ll take out things worth as much as the Goblin Mask and make them mine.

As the goblin masks all scattered into light, the shaman fell down again.

“No, why on earth do I have to fall down to get the stigmata?”

Lisa thought as she looked at the stigmata displayed openly before her eyes.

[Stigmata, ‘Descent’ is in effect.]

[Another constellation is sending a descent, so descent is not possible.]

Simply put, the stigmata of divine possession are stigmata that allow one to call other constellations into one’s body.

Another difference from the incarnation is that the incarnation is that the constellation is superimposed on the body of the incarnation, so the appearance itself becomes the constellation.

In this state, the constellations are filled inside the incarnation, so the appearance is also that of an incarnation. The control of the body is also with the incarnation, so unlike the incarnation body, if it is used excessively, it can be stopped immediately.

That is why the perception of incarnations using divine descent among the constellations is not so good.

For some constellations that have neither a clone nor an incarnation, it was one of the essential types of incarnation that they had to obtain.

In addition, an incarnation with divine possession has the advantage of being able to have other constellations inhabit their body as well as their own constellations.

Some incarnations went as far as entering into secondary and tertiary contracts with the permission of the underlings, so there were many incarnations with three underlings.

But even so, this is the first time I’ve seen a type of possession that causes fainting this often.

“That’s strange. The constellations that need divine intervention shouldn’t be that high in rank.”

Since she is a shaman with a body just before transcendence, her background will be lower than mine.

To put it simply, being low-level means having a low total amount of power. A low total amount of power means that there is less burden on the body when descending.

But, even if they are not transcendent beings, why do incarnations with bodies just before transcendent beings often fall?

This meant that the constellation that possessed the shaman’s body was of extremely high rank.

In the first place, if I were to possess that body, my feet would probably go numb sometimes. Fainting would be… … .

Seriously, I don’t know how high the level is.

“That’s scary. Who is behind this?”

I tried to look into the shaman’s life through a photo album.

But the shaman couldn’t do that because she was sweating and her eyes were open.

I don’t know if it’s because they’re evil people who mess with us, but my conscience prickles because I can’t write it out loud to good people who helped us.

“What happened?”

I hid the photo album and asked about Enoch’s condition.

The shaman’s answer to that question was as follows:

“If something big happens that will change his life, his memories will come back. However, he said that it would be better not to do it unless it is ‘absolutely’ necessary to retrieve his memories, because he has to think about the awkwardness between them because of that.”

“Really? Then, what is that big deal?”

“How would I know that?”

“No, what if you don’t know that?”

“… … .”

“Well, anyway, if something big happens, Enoch’s memories will come back, right?”

“That’s right.”

“… … But, your speech seems to have changed? Is this also the effect of the divine possession?”

“… … .”

“Okay. What am I supposed to say? Well, can I take my eyes off you now?”

“That’s right.”

At those words, I entered the circle of blood to remove the blindfold covering Enoch’s eyes.

“Enoch. Now, arise.”

“Oh, no!!!”
