Chapter 19 Being Fooled Twice

            Varania and Chis were frightening after hearing about the radio waves…

I realised what the purpose of Varania coming here was, so I asked, “Why does Lilith want Chis to come back?”
“MY MASTER DOESN'T WANT CHIS TO BE HERE, BECAUSE SHE THINKS CHIS WILL BE ENJOYING TO BE HERE, WITH TREATS.."

Right now, I am genuinely concerned about how the demon territory will be governed by her..

It seemed they were a little bit frightened by me, so they asked to leave.

“I think it's better for us to leave from here.." said Varania. "And I need to bring her to my master.."

When they wanted to get up...

“WAIT!” said I.

They turned their face into me…I said, “Pay me up!”
“Pay? What do I need to pay?” Asked Chis.

“Let’s see, you ate a noodle and a chicken porridge; now you have drank a latté and that black coffee…Surely, you need to pay it, right?”

“What! I thought it was on the house, so I don’t need to pay…”

“Surely you need to pay that..”

I saw they looked at each other…Immediately they said, “Evanesca.”

“Eva-what?” said I.

At once, their body were emitting full of light that blinding my eyes…In a second, they were gone…God damn it, there is another spell beside Lanuae for escaping... Evanesca, I will remember that word..

I looked at the sain’t party who passed out. Now, what do I need to do with these people? Seeing what has happened to me right now, I immediately activated the magic of the cafe. So these saint’s party will not dash out like those demon creatures; still, they are humans, and surely they have some morals about that..Not like a demon..

Surely, I needed to wake them up before doing that. I took a picture of them being passed out…Now, I pushed and shook their body to wake them up, still they didn’t wake up…Seeing they were not waking up, I remembered I still had some dishes in the sink. I picked up the latte and the black coffee from Chis..I brought them to the sink, so I was doing the dishes while they were passing out…

Even after I finished the dishes, they were still not waking up…I walked and sat in front of the counter, started to look at my smartphone, and while waiting, they woke up…

Some minutes later, I could see some movement from them; it seemed they would be waking up soon. I put my smartphone back in my pocket and went to them. I took a seat while waiting for them to wake up..

The saintess was the first one to wake up...First, she was looking around her, and finally opened her mouth and asked, "Where are the others?" still with a sleepy tone..
"They...ran away..."
Immediately, her face was surprised, and her eyes were wide open. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY RAN AWAY?" Said her.

"Ran away means they ran away..."

"They're supreme beings; how the hell did they just run away..."
Yeah, supreme beings, my ass..Like their master. "They just cast a spell, and *poff* they are gone."

The saintess's expression turned from surprise to disbelief as she struggled to comprehend the situation. "Wait!! You said earlier, This place can negate all the spells, so how did they run away?"

because of my stupidity. "There is some reason; I deactivate the cafe spell...aura..or magic..How do you call this type of magic? a spell? an aura?"

"Well...Hmmmmm...So you need to cast it, it means it is an activated one; some aura magic are passive one, meaning they are always active without needing to be cast. In this case, it seems like deactivating the cafe spell allowed them to escape using their own magic or abilities...It's a spell, but how does the spell work, like aura magic? Surely it's a spell, then."

A few moments later, the paragon and the archmage woke up from their unconscious.

The paragon opened his mouth and was confused about what had happened. "What was going on?"

I saw their dishes and their drinks. not had been touched, so I said, "How about all of you enjoy your cakes and your drinks?"

The archmage, still slightly disoriented, looked around and noticed the untouched cakes and drinks. "Yes, let's savour our treats while we try to piece together what just occurred."
"Yeah...The one thing I remembered is that there were two demons in front of us...And they were the supreme on...e..OH CRAP, THE JESTER IS GONE..." said the Paragon

The saintess sighed, and the one who kept staying calm among them said, " Let's not panic."

"Is that bad for the jester gone?" asked me.

"He is the one who knows the road back home..."

"So all of you don't know the road back home?"

They were nodding.

"Is that hard to go to the human city from here?"

"Do you not know about this place's whereabouts?" asked the saintess.

That's the thing I am always thinking after getting stranded in here: Where the hell am I? "Yeah, I don't know about that.." answered me.

The saintess explained to me about this cafe's location: "Your place is a weird thing; it's not located by the map of magic or can't be detected by it. Still, it can still be felt in a few hundred meters..While we were walking back to home, I sensed something that came from here; it made me tingle or shiver, so we came here..." The saintess continued, "It's almost as if this place exists in a different realm, hidden from ordinary perception. But somehow, those who are attuned to magic can sense its presence and are drawn to it."
Well, I don't know if my cafe is emitting an aura like that, but..."Wait a minute!! You said map of magic; what is that?" I sense it will be like..

"It's a map that uses magic to track your whereabouts to the target location...It can tell how far your target is or your location from the target..."

They have a GPS system in this world; how the hell is this map working without a satellite? God damn, magic..It's quite fascinating how magic can defy conventional technology....Instead of relying on satellites, the map may likely tap into the mystical energies of the world to determine distances and locations...It's a testament to the power and versatility of magic in this realm...Even now, I don't use my refrigerator again because of the inventory system..

...

They were forgetting about their problems and enjoying their cakes and drinks. Sometimes cakes and coffee could make you forget your problem.. It was a moment of pure bliss as they savoured each bite and sip, allowing the sweetness to transport them to a world where worries seemed distant. In that moment, the simple pleasure of indulging in cakes and coffee became their temporary escape from reality.

...

Until, the saintess asked, "How long do they know them?"

"Them?" asked me.

"You know those demons..."

"Like two days..."

"In those two days, you manage to get closer with two supreme demons.....Is there anyone beside them, who visited this place?"

"There were two elves who visited this place.."

"Two elves? May I know these elves?

"Aella and Noella...They said, they are the high priestess and priestess from Goddess Aru--"

Out of the blue, they burst their drinks, especially the saintess.

"Those elves came here??" asked the saintess with a disbelieving tone.

"Yeah...Is that a big deal?"

"Surely it is...One of them is the apostle. You don't know about it??"

The saintess started to explain where this world was controlled by some goddesses. Which one goddess controlled and led one race, all of these goddesses were siblings of each other. The oldest one was the master of the demon lord, Goddess Ira. Goddess Arum The Goddess of Elf was in the middle of the siblings, and there were some goddesses who kept their identities, and some races hid their deity or goddesses...The saintess party goddess was Ainur, which means light of hope...The saintess was the apostle of Ainur; it applied to Lilith, the demon lord; she was the apostle of Ira; Aella, the high priestess; she was the apostle of Arum..Which this apostle was the pupil of the deity or goddess; they were the ones who could communicate with them.. The apostles of the goddesses played a crucial role in maintaining communication between the deities and their respective races. These chosen individuals were able to convey the wishes and guidance of their goddesses to their people...The apostles' deep connection with their deity allowed them to channel divine power and fulfill important duties on behalf of their goddesses.

Hearing all of that makes me disbelieve, because their goddess names are so familiar to me, and there are no gods in here. Why are there just goddesses? Where is the male one?
