The Fake Sin Of Fallen God
Chapters 8. The Strange Grandma

It had been 3 days since the incident, Dyze and Chronoa were temporarily staying at Claire's residence, and of course Claire happily accepted them.

And Claire, she has been told by Chronoa himself though not entirely Chronoa tell like Dyze's powers. Claire was sorry for the incident. Chronoa like her had little faith in Claire, therefore he decided to tell her his greatest wound.

and Chronoa.. He now looks back on as usual, though not as energetic as he used to be. But he was already able to laugh and slowly closed the huge wound in his heart.

Dyze and Chronoa are eating with Claire at the dinner table, just the three of them.

Dyze was always amazed by Claire's cooking, even though she was alone, she could make food very well.

Regarding the Blue Sword given by Sven, Dyze picked it up just before Emilton's house burned down. Now the sword is in Claire's house and kept tightly by Chronoa.

“Hey, I want to talk about something.”

The attention of the two girls was centered on the source of the voice, Dyze.

Dyze seemed to want to talk about something serious, the atmosphere in the room changed significantly.

“I want to go to Elfimp City. There's something I need to make sure there.”

They exchanged glances with each other, and then nodded, as if they had understood each other.

“I'm coming.” Clora volunteered to join Dyze, and Dyze's responsibility was not to be denied.

But for.. “I ju—“

“Claire, I have a request for you.”

“Eh? Don't try to stop me lo..” He seems determined to follow Dyze.

“No, you should stay here. I can't carry more weight than this, if you keep pushing, you might lose your life.” Dyze's gaze was so sharp and intense, making anyone's determination sure to tremble and be questioned.

For a moment, Chronoa looks to put on the face “What?! The burden!? Me!?” but he did not say a word.

But Claire's determination has been unanimous, she does not care if she has to die if it is the consequences.

“Sheesh, Claire. You should appreciate your life more, your life can not be exchanged for anything in this world is not it?”

Disgusting, for a god of doom to talk about valuing lives, what a joke. That's what Dyze's thinking right now.

He's speechless.. Not saying a word.. Not long after that his lips began to move.

“.. When's? You guys are leaving.. “

“Soon, after we finish this food.”

***

Sadness was depicted on his face but there was nothing he could do, he could only let go of the two of them.

Now Dyze and Chronoa have been prepared with the equipment and supplies given by Claire. While at the door, Claire suddenly hugged Dyze from behind and said softly and slightly sobbing.

“If you have finished your business there, take me to see how vast the World is.” His embrace tightened to the point of making Dyze claustrophobic.

“U-ugh.. I don't know. I will not take the weak with me.” Dyze releases Claire's embrace and leaves Eiden City.

“.. Weak huh?” Claire looked at the cloudy sky.

2 Hours have passed, and we're just going through the ruins of Elvire village. I don't actually want to see those memories anymore but it looks like Chronoa wants them.

He can't hide his anxiety, and I can't do anything but just look at him.

Not long after I felt a pull on my shirt, and it was Chronoa, he pulled my shirt. Strange, Chronoa wouldn't normally be like this, would trauma turn him like this?

“Dyze.. Is your business there related to your strength?” Just be right.. He asked in a low tone.

“.. Who knows? I just follow the instructions.”

“Hint? From whom?” Damn the question got me cornered.

“See Chronoa, the sun has a yellowish orange color. Let's hurry up!”

“.. Right too.”

Hufft I survived. But I didn't expect her personality to change so drastically, was this her identity?

It has been quite a while since we walked through the village of Elvire, the sun seems to be setting soon. With the remaining light, something from a distance caught my attention.

“Hei Chronoa, have you seen it?”

I pointed towards something that caught my attention.

“itu..? Car wreck.?” He made a palm movement above the eye, then he squinted it. Strange movements, can it help vision?

Right, it looks like it was indeed the wreckage of the carriage, I think something happened.

To save time, I ran and pulled the hand of Chronoa, completely reversed than usual.

After a few moments of running, we could see a lot of corpses infested by crows scattered around the wreckage of the train. The corpse of the Royal Soldier was also present here, and the number was quite a lot.

In addition to the corpses of the Royal Knights, the corpses of women, and small children were also not far from the corpses of the Royal Knights.

Their bodies have rotted.. Which means this has been happening for over a day now.

“Dyze! Take a look here!” I rushed towards him too.

He was seen observing 1 corpse very seriously, he seemed to recognize the corpse before..

And i'm.. Wait a minute, have I seen her before?

Although the body has rotted away, Chronoa and I can still recognize it.

“Is that you.. Shearly!?” Chronoa seemed to have no confidence in what he was seeing now.

Again, he lost someone he knew in front of his own eyes.

It's not wrong Shearly. Her short blue hair made her corpse easily recognizable to us.

It's freaky.. Why had Shearly been on this train before? Did these Knights have anything to do with his death? Their deaths were also quite strange, it did not look like there was a sword slash on their bodies, nor even a spear thrust.

... What is clear now is that we must hurry to the city of Elfimp, the night is coming soon.

“Listen, this is not the time to grieve, the night is coming soon, we must hurry!”

I pulled a silent Chronoa, damn why did it become like this?

It should not be long before we will reach the city of Elfimp, hopefully with this will be on time.

After a long walk in the darkness of the night, Dyze and Chronoa finally reached the gates of Elfimp city.

They also entered the city of Elfimp, seen the city of Elfimp as if busy, because it looks like the Royal Knights are patrolling as if wary of something.

Since it was late at night, Dyze and Chronoa decided to rest in the inn. They rented quite a quality room for 2 silver wolves and 10 bronze bears.

They pay him with the money Claire provides, because in addition to Claire's money, all they have is a gold lion coin.

After paying, they were directed to the top floor, and walked down the hall until they found room 302.

Arriving upstairs, they immediately looked for the passageway in question. After a while they found the hallway and entered it.

They opened the door to room 302. When inside they were quite surprised to find there was only 1 bed in the room. Because it was late at night and they were already very exhausted, it did not bother them in the least. In their minds as long as it can sleep soundly and comfortably it is enough.

Chronoa removed the container of the sword that was on his back and hung it on the wall. He felt quite relieved because no one was interested in his sword because it would make him troubled.

After washing his body with water, he immediately went to sleep, with Dyze.

***

In the morning, Chronoa and Dyze wake up too early, not usually Dyze can wake up that easily.

After stretching his body, Dyze and Chronoa tidied up his things and prepared for breakfast below.

“Fwuahh. I can't believe the food here is good too! The drinks are delicious too!” apparently that was the reason Dyze woke up too early, his stomach had been rumbling from last night.

Meanwhile Chronoa, he looked grim and uninspired. But even so he still ate food because he was also hungry.

After finishing his meal, Dyze headed to the market where he had met the cat's grandmother.

On the way, Dyze heard people talking about an attack that happened yesterday.

Residents are talking about an attack by bandits hunted by the Kingdom in the market of Elfimp city. The incident did not take a toll because the bandits allegedly captured their victims to be sold as slaves.

Dyze hopes that the market he is attacking is not the market he is aiming for.

“Dyze, regarding the attack, does it have anything to do with Shearly?”

“Oh, you're right too. Near Shearly there's car wreckage isn't there? If so then it is possible that Shearly and the victims who died were victims of this incident.”

As they passed through the narrow alley, Dyze heard something.

“Sometimes the world will be shaken.. Uhuk! Because existences that could destroy this World so easily would fight each other.. Uhuk! How horrifying.. It's so sorry.”

Dyze who heard that spontaneously turned her head, and her conjecture was correct. That person was the old Grandma with the white cat who was always beside her.

Chronoa looked confused because he saw Dyze stop, as if led by Dyze's attention, he also turned towards the narrow alley.

Dyze approached him and asked the grandmother.

“Nek, who exactly are you? Why did Ariel direct me to look for you?” Dyze seems to have felt strange because it is impossible for ordinary humans to attract Ariel's attention, even more so he hates humans.

The grandmother gasped when she heard the word ‘Ariel' instantly, the grandmother's body suddenly shook violently.

“A-whether e-engkau... What is meant by the person.?” Dyze was a little confused by the word ‘the person’ but she didn't think too much about it.

“It is an honor for me, Cassandra to sacrifice for your sake.” The grandmother spoke while crying.

The grandmother then used the forbidden technique, she turned her soul into a consumable pill.

Dyze who saw the grandmother suddenly lying helpless was surprised, as well as Chronoa.

He realized that Grandma had changed her own soul in order to be consumed by Dyze, because she could feel the soul in the pill.
