The Handbook for Completing Demi-Human Girls

Chapter 634: Hidden

At the instant of sensing Milika hugging himself, Fisher was slightly startled, but still gently reached out holding her shoulders pulling open a relatively polite distance. And exactly at this moment, he only then had the opportunity to closely size up this student before his eyes he hadn't seen for a long time,

"Long time no see, Milika."

"You too, Teacher Fisher. Ever since you and Jasmine left St. Naris, and Her Majesty Elizabeth issued a wanted warrant for you then cancelled it, I have always been very worried about you guys. Especially Isabelle, I heard she seemingly got kidnapped by pirates on the sea, also don't know her..."

"She should be fine right now, it was me who handed Isabelle entirely to the Iceberg Queen to take care of, she has a very good relationship with me."

"So that's how it is..."

Seeing the Milika before his eyes had no tendency of leaning over again, Fisher only then gently let go of her shoulders. After all previously he only just promised Raphaela not to produce connections with new females anymore. What's more for a long time he had all along merely viewed Milika as an acquainted student, naturally impossible to commit outrages just as Eimhart thought. He merely said,

"This time I returned..."

"This time Teacher Fisher returned must be to attend Master Helson's funeral right?"

Before his words finished speaking, Milika then opened her mouth in advance saying so, making him nod his head, admitting,

"Mmn, because I haven't returned for a long time, even the news of my teacher was known through friends overseas. I also only just arrived in St. Naris, not very understanding towards the situation these years... therefore, what exactly is the situation with Teacher Helson these years?""Mmn, actually shortly after Teacher Fisher you left St. Naris, Master Helson then announced retirement. Refusing the detainment of Her Majesty Elizabeth and a crowd of personnel from the Gryphon Party and New Party, he returned to his hometown Chitel City, spending his remaining years there. After that, Master Helson didn't frequently appear in the public's field of vision, until this time his sudden passing away."

Fisher looked at the Milika before his eyes. After being silent for a moment, he still asked,

"That means to say, Teacher Helson really..."

"Ey, of course it's real." Listening to Fisher's such questioning, initially she hadn't reacted yet, but one or two seconds later she then opened her mouth wide saying, "Are you worried about Her Majesty Elizabeth?"

"..."

Fisher didn't respond, yet more like tacit consent, making Milika increasingly certain. Clearly within the room there was only the two of them, she yet still had to turn her head glancing all around, just like being afraid of someone else hearing like that,

"Um, Teacher Fisher, the matter of Master Helson passing away should be true, because a week ago papa then dispatched church personnel to Chitel City. Not only verifying his death, concurrently also undertaking the mission of hosting the funeral. But Teacher Fisher, if you are going to the funeral you indeed ought to be careful of Her Majesty Elizabeth. Ever since she came to power, I always felt... she is increasingly terrifying. This past year even more so, even papa doesn't dare to go meet her anymore."

"Terrifying?"

"Mmn, anyhow it's that I also cannot explain it. The previous few years papa even took me to participate in her birthday banquet, but every time I saw her I would also have a hair-raising terrifying feeling. Always feeling she is staring at me every moment and every second. Every time having this kind of thought my body was exactly like turning into stone stiff like that, therefore afterwards I didn't dare to go anymore. Although the populace all deeply love and esteem her, but whether it is papa, Principal Dami'an and those ministers also increasingly fear her..."

Milika hesitated for a moment, cautiously casting a glance at Fisher, ultimately still softly saying,

"They say in private... Her Majesty Elizabeth because of massacring too many blood relatives therefore suffered a curse, is already no longer human."

"..."

From Milika's mouth, Fisher obtained a glimpse of St. Naris' upper echelon's view towards the current Elizabeth. Hearing it, it seemed entirely different from the personal cult of ordinary Naris masses and middle class towards her.

Of course, perhaps the origin of those people producing fear towards these was derived from the prosthetic eye Elizabeth currently wore.

Experiencing the matters of ten thousand years ago, Fisher knew that prosthetic eye seemed related to Archangel Pandora who perished within the Ideal State.

Then the problem comes, Pandora and Remiel died together in the undergrounds of the Ideal State, therefore exactly how was that Holy Artifact forged out? Furthermore that seemed to be a Teardrop Relic too (Eimhart previously said she could be communicated with). Could it be said afterwards Angels found another Teardrop disappearing in the Ideal State forging it out?

He forgot to ask Helaire regarding this point at the time. Although she didn't know how to forge Holy Artifacts, but should be thoroughly familiar with the history at that time.

"I know now. Right, there is still one more thing..."

After that, Fisher also didn't forget the matter of showing the map to Milika. And also didn't disappoint his expectations. As a child influenced by sight and sound of the Archbishop since childhood, her father more than once brought her in and out of this Cathedral ordinary people fundamentally had no opportunity to arrive at. Therefore she very quickly recognized where the place drawn on this map was.

The location of the things the Demi-Human Con left to Fisher was exactly underground of the Cathedral, the resting place of devout believers' souls.

Hearing this answer, Fisher appeared somewhat surprised. This then also meant, the things the Demi-Human Girl Con left to him was exactly under Teresa's ashes deposition place. The Cathedral's resting place was divided into above-ground and underground two portions. Above-ground was primarily a place used for the family and friends of the sleepers to mourn. In the past when Fisher went to visit Teresa the place he went to was exactly this place.

The entry of that place was also subjected to strict restrictions. Not only only the family of the sleeper possessed the qualifications to enter, entering also required making an appointment. Of course, dignitaries exactly like Elizabeth didn't require it. The first time Fisher met with Elizabeth was exactly over there.

While underground, as the true resting place of devout believers' souls in the Mother God Religion, that place restricted all outsiders from entering. Which was also Fisher's true destination this time.

"Good, I will immediately head over to take a look right now. As for after, you..."

Fisher having obtained the answer very quickly stood his body up. He expressed his thanks to Milika. After exchanging a few pleasantries confirming the other party's current state and obtaining the required answers he then prepared to leave. But Milika pursed her lips, looking at him suddenly opening her mouth interrupting saying,

"Wait, Teacher Fisher, afterwards my father and I also have to go attend Master Helson's funeral. I... I can bring you in, maybe even can bypass Her Majesty Elizabeth..."

"If so your father is going to have a headache."

If letting this little fellow's old dad know she was mingling in the matters between himself and Elizabeth again, he probably would even forget the teachings of Mother Goddess entirely, having to ruthlessly teach Milika a lesson.

Hearing this Milika stuck out her tongue, rather also didn't refute again, but still somewhat unwillingly saying,

"Th... this is me myself wanting to help you, unrelated to my father."

"Yeah, but your father is related to you. He deeply loves you, don't let him be disappointed."

"He doesn't love me, what he loves is his Archbishop position."

Fisher neither agreed nor disagreed, merely smilingly saying,

"If he didn't love you then he wouldn't let me come give you remedial math lessons. After all anyone with discerning eyes could tell your math level is beyond cure, but at least at the time he still hadn't given up treatment, willing to spend great prices to attempt a bit... although ultimately it still failed."

"Teacher Fisher!! I... You act like this again I will accuse you of secretly running into a Holy Maiden's boudoir!! Even will tell this matter to Her Majesty Elizabeth!"

Milika turned red in the face, flustered and exasperated pinching her fists starting to accuse. Having her bottom line exposed she became furious from a single source, but Fisher right now had already reached the doorway, once again smilingly saying,

"Then the unlucky one will definitely be you first."

"Humph, you don't understand how real I can make it up."

"No, it's you who doesn't understand Elizabeth."

Fisher desired to push the door leaving. But behind, Milika's voice hesitated for a moment before still transmitting over,

"... Also, Teacher Fisher, these years do you know Jasmine's situation? Did she return to the sea? None, suffer any influence right?"

Fisher was slightly startled, subsequently turning his head back again looking at the somewhat worried Milika on the bed. Obviously, she still hadn't let go of the matters from five years ago. Her two friends, exactly all stayed away from her life overnight.

But perhaps right now, accompanying Fisher's return, everything should become slightly more relaxed,

"She is very well, I guarantee it."

"Is that so..."

Finally, Milika also couldn't help but smile, somewhat relieved smilingly saying,

"Then that is truly wonderful."

"Heavens, Fisher, do you know, I just now almost prepared to tell that human little girl the matter of you taking care of Jasmine all the way to bed... was it called Milika just then? I'm truly too curious after she knows what kind of expression it would be."

Fisher once again changed his appearance, silently and quietly walking along the corridors within the Cathedral. Towards the complicated structure of this place he was somewhat unfamiliar, only able to rely on the limited reference objects in his memory to close in towards the destination as much as possible. And right at this moment, Eimhart who had been hanging on standby inside his embrace finally poked his head out, muttering like so.

Fisher cast a glance at him, expressionlessly saying,

"Although the majority of the time you are always accusing Helaire, but actually I feel you still have been infected by her right? Your 'desiring to see the world plunged into chaos' appearance is simply exactly identical to her. Have you become her fanboy?"

"Pah pah pah! Truly unlucky! I am just seeking truth from facts okay? Baimon is doing it for the sake of amusement, very fond of fabricating and deceiving, how can they be the same? Don't you ruin a person's innocence out of thin air!"

"... Hehe, seeking truth from facts." Fisher gave a mocking laugh, continuing to say, "Previously weren't you saying what I was going to do to my student again? Could it be right now you still haven't seen my attitude towards Milika? This is your seeking truth from facts?"

"No, I feel the reason you don't feel anything for her is solely because she's not a demi-human."

"..."

Eimhart carrying dead fish eyes, exceptionally certain saying so. Fisher remained silent for a moment, actually like temporarily lacking words to refute like that, until several seconds later only then continuing to respond,

"... Then what about Elizabeth? Could it be I like her because she has some demi-human bloodline on her body?"

"How can you feel the eighteen year old you and the current you are the same person? The you at that time sounding to me was still quite pure. Right now... tsk tsk tsk, I'm truly hard to say... ey, what do you want to do? Can't win an argument then you... Aiyou!!"

Fisher gently reached out giving him a bit of recognition of the immensity of heaven and earth, making him flustered and exasperated shrinking back inside the suit again to evade Fisher's demonic claws.

And Fisher indeed was too lazy to tease him anymore, because right at this moment, after bypassing the many guards on duty on the outer side, he had already arrived before the Rest Memorial Hall within the Cathedral.

This place, ever since his eighteenth birthday, he frequently entered and exited. Merely different from the path taking the Holy Maiden Choir dormitory, previously he always entered from another large door. Perhaps Sir Book Artifact was right, he was indeed no longer the eighteen year old Fisher. At least at that time he wouldn't enter and exit the Holy Maiden dormitory so naturally right.

Just gazing at the place before his eyes he hadn't seen for a long time, he still couldn't help but take a deep breath, his expression appearing somewhat solemn.

Right now was exactly the afternoon siesta time, therefore there was no one stationed near the Memorial Hall. He then directly pushed open the large doors of the Memorial Hall, revealing large swathes of stone walls engraved with the names of the sleepers within, as well as the Mother Goddess statue in the center of the stone walls.

His footsteps couldn't help but slow down, until the large doors behind slowly closed. The Eimhart within his embrace seeing there was no one also drilled out from his embrace, familiarly standing on his right shoulder, curiously sizing up all around.

Arriving before a wall, exactly at the edge of that wall, upon a small stone box, was engraved the entirety of him before eighteen years old,

【Thank you for giving lonely me a home, even if you have departed, me once again lonely and alone, you are also forever my family.】

【Hereby to commemorate: Teresa Benavides, a great and devout nun.】

【Fisher Benavides】

Here, was exactly Mother Teresa's tombstone, the memorial place of the sleeper.

"Here is Teresa's resting place huh... Wait, didn't we both leave for five years already? Look at this under the stone box there are still many burned ashes ey. Could it be besides you there are other orphans raised by her coming over to visit her?"

Eimhart turned his head back questioning like so. And Fisher also somewhat surprised raised his eyebrows, he shook his head saying,

"Teresa's every matter was handled by me. Intricate Church resting processes other people from the church school couldn't be bothered to participate, they don't even know where Teresa sleeps... But over there should have the priest's eulogy record."

Speaking to the end, Fisher was still somewhat uncertain, then walked before the wooden table in front of the stone tablet ahead, inspecting the eulogy record made by the priest on duty here. As a part of the appointment, the eulogies brought over by the family members of believers to burn should all have records.

Following Teresa's tombstone number, Fisher rapidly flipped through the record book within. The next second, he opened his mouth wide, obviously having some surprise. Even the Eimhart on his shoulder blinked his eyes, subsequently immediately turned his head looking towards him.

Because atop that record, clearly wrote a column of identical names: Elizabeth Godlin.

One month ago, burnt eulogy one copy; Two months ago, burnt eulogies two copies; Four months ago, burnt eulogy one copy...

As time goes by, although this record book only recorded this year's situation. But clearly, during the five years since Fisher left Naris, she consistently came here replacing Fisher who was unable to come here to burn eulogies for Teresa.

Generally speaking, eulogies all related what the living wanted to say to the dead. Although Fisher didn't know what Elizabeth wrote to Teresa, perhaps merely relaying the current situation of Fisher, or perhaps just purely replacing Fisher to express longing towards Teresa...

But at least, these years she all along replaced Fisher coming here to fulfill his unfulfilled duties.

"... Okay, right now I have no choice but to admit, the reason you liked Elizabeth back then perhaps truly had no relation to the so-called demi-human bloodline."

Eimhart blinked his eyes, evaluating like so. And Fisher couldn't help but raise his head looking towards those rows of tables and chairs before the Mother Goddess statue. At a certain place towards the back of those tables and chairs, at a certain afternoon many years ago, that was exactly the place they formally met for the first time.

"... Let's go."

"Oh oh, okay."

After being silent for quite a while, Fisher only then slowly closed the eulogy record book before his eyes. Subsequently he only then somewhat attachedly and reluctantly withdrew his line of sight, turning his head heading towards the unmanaged underground area.

The underground tomb and above ground only relied on a corridor isolated by a wooden door for connection. After Fisher searched for quite a while he only then found that locked wooden door.

Gently reaching out giving a snap, that lock then fell onto the ground exactly like fragments, revealing the somewhat cold and gloomy space below.

Fisher grabbed Eimhart. After he used dead fish eyes to looking back at Fisher once, he then silently floated up, his entire body lighting up with golden radiance, illuminating the space below exactly like a floating small lamp.

Below was more like a basement. On the ground were countless piled up bottles and jars all over, all had already grown full of dust. Obviously already for a long time no one had cleaned up this place.

All around was dry and cold. Eimhart sized up all around for a glance, yet didn't discover any place suspected of being a secret room. Besides ashes it was still ashes. He couldn't help but tremble his body turning back his head asking,

"Could it be you made a mistake, here is so narrow there is nothing ah... Moreover didn't that human little girl say? This place was newly built later on. Even if that what's-it senior of yours left something could it be it has already been demolished."

"Impossible, she isn't an ordinary person."

Demi-human Girl Con lived for so long, even chatting and laughing happily with Mythical Species like Gou Wen, Angels and Elves. Just looking at how owed a beating she was yet still lived for so long then could see her abilities were extraordinary. How could the things she left behind be demolished by a group of human construction teams.

It was only possible they still hadn't discovered the location of the secret room.

But the problem laid in, Cidi said they needed to arrive at the designated location to write out the rune and chant out the rune to be able to open the secret room. But here is completely filled with ashes, entirely empty, where does he need to write?

Fisher's brain whirled over the way of writing and chanting the rune he repeatedly memorized many times. After thinking and thinking, he suddenly realized, that so-called "Rune" seemed to be exactly a character from the language the Demi-Human Girl Con used.

If for a long time still couldn't find the thing to write the rune, then it was extremely likely this was a riddle. Moreover extremely likely the answer of the riddle was exactly hidden on the meaning of this rune.

Although Fisher didn't know what the specific meaning of this rune was, but do not forget, his Demi-Human Girl Completion Manual exactly only just obtained a brand new function, it could translate the language the Demi-Human Girl Con used.

Thinking up to this point, he hurriedly reached out taking out the Demi-Human Girl Completion Manual hidden within his own embrace. While opening it reaching his hand manipulating the surface of his finger to distort, seeping out drop after drop of fresh blood as ink to write that symbol.

"女(Woman)" "马(Horse)".

Stroke by stroke he wrote that perfectly square symbol on the pages of the Demi-Human Girl Completion Manual. Immediately following, he then softly opened his mouth, reading out the phonology of this symbol,

"ma"

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

The next second, on the pages of the Demi-Human Girl Completion Manual, that Kanji written by Fisher's blood surely enough began to distort. This meant it indeed represented certain specific meanings, currently being translated by the Demi-Human Girl Completion Manual.

And at the very, very end, that blood-red text gradually transformed into Naris language Fisher could recognize, meaning:

"Mother"

At the instant of seeing that text, Fisher's pupils then slightly shrank. He frowned, unbelievably using Naris language wondering in surprise,

"Mother?"

"Crack crack crack!"

At the instant he opened his mouth, direction ahead of this underground tomb, along with the distortion of a bizarre power, a large door seemingly hidden within undetectable secrecy slowly displayed its specific shape, appearing before Fisher's face.
