"Never underestimate the natives, especially their leaders. Even if they speak the poor common language with a village accent, even if they lack the knowledge and experience that the outside world takes for granted, even if they dress in primitive and ugly ways, even if they decorate themselves with animal skins and bones, and even if they appear in formal diplomatic situations wearing only a suit and pajamas …"
This was written in heavy red ink on the first page of the common teaching materials for descender training.
"… That laughable common language is something that these people forcefully deciphered without any teaching materials or teachers. Those shaman accessories made of animal skins and bones are how they maintain their tribe's traditions and authority over their tribe. It's the proof that they've reached the top among the tens of millions of natives. Even with those laughable pajamas, they still need the courage to fight against tradition."
Rorschach didn't doubt the descriptions in the books at all. His interactions with the Seymour tribe had also proven this. Descenders who treated the natives as fools and used physical appearances to identify their opponents were basically treated as fools instead. None of them lived for long.
But now, it seemed that the natives were treating outsiders like fools. If it weren't for the fact that Roland's natural talent was truly special, he might have been fooled by the natives the entire time.
"Lori, you haven't contacted any of the Gods yet, have you?"
[Eh? Of course we've separated. My mission has come to an end.]
"Alright then. I have good news and bad news about the opponents we must face now."
Rorschach silently observed the flame giant who was provoking him while looking behind him.
[… I'll just say it. You're playing word games. I feel like both pieces of news are bad news. But since you're still in the mood to play word games, it means that the news isn't too bad. At the very least, you'll be able to escape.]
Rorschach was rendered speechless. It seemed that others had figured out his personality quite well.
"Cough, how am I supposed to play if you keep undermining me like this? Yep, the good news is that I accidentally completed an ultimate mission in Vila Nova Dônia. It's a double diamond mission with a reward of ten million Divine Tributes, internal serial number 003."
Lori fell silent. Even an ultimate mission with a single-digit serial number wasn't something that the Game Church would even consider, let alone a reward of ten million Divine Tributes.
In the midst of the chaos, Lori had already found the corresponding number of the mission.
[No.003 … Okay, I understand. The bad news is that the mission is … to find Titan!! Heh, what a big fish.]
"No, no, I didn't."
Rorschach denied this answer and continued to answer with a trembling voice. He even sounded like he was about to cry.
"The bad news … the bad news is that not only did I find him, but he also found me!!"
This was not fear, but the natural pressure of a creator level creature towards mortals, causing their bodies to instinctively stop moving.
Behind the volcano titan, Titan's shadow was looking at Rorschach. His moon-like eyes were full of starlight, and he didn't hide his interest in Rorschach.
"He found out that I found him!"
This was a tongue-twister, but it revealed a piece of information. Not only had Rorschach discovered Titan, Titan had also obviously discovered Rorschach.
"Yes, little fellow. Finnstrand is watching you. Finnstrand sees Wood's shadow in you. Perhaps we can find a good place to slowly talk."
This was the first time that Rorschach knew that someone was able to eavesdrop on a conversation between a believer and a God. And judging from the fact that Lori's voice was cut off, he could even forcefully cut off the connection.
There was no response from the communication system. The other descenders were not far away, but it was as if they were separated by a layer of bubbles, making it seem unreal. And judging from the giants faintly surrounding them, how could Rorschach say no?
"Okay, boss. You have the biggest fist, so you have the final say."
Normally, if you provoked the small one, the big one would come. If you beat up the weak, the strong would come. You would become stronger step by step. But for Rorschach …
"… Can't you act normally? How can you just go out and meet the final boss!?"
"Ha, little friend, I've always been here. You were the ones who came looking for me."
This final boss who kept calling me "little friend" and "little fellow" was something that Rorschach couldn't afford to offend. Rorschach also couldn't afford to offend this boss who had the ability to read minds!
"Finnstrand doesn't know how to read minds. It's just that I've seen a lot of things and naturally see things clearly. And little fellow, you're the one who Finnstrand knows how to hide your feelings the least."
Rorschach had the urge to flip the table and quit when he saw the gigantic figure smiling in front of him while lowering his body and using his thumb and index finger to make black tea.
Rorschach was currently in a stone room. Titan's shadow was attached to a giant's body, and he was currently making tea and snacks for guests.
"What happened to the stupid and rash giant we agreed on? Can't you give me a few low-level monsters to practice with first? "
However, Rorschach had a reason that he needed to maintain his rationality.
After Rorschach agreed to Titan's invitation, Rorschach saw a shadow that looked exactly like him walk out of his body and greet the other descenders. He said that he had something he needed to do and would be going into seclusion.
Right now, no matter how long Rorschach stayed here, even if he didn't get on the ship, nobody would care about him.
If Rorschach wasn't in the party, Lori's communication with them would also be cut off. No new orders would be given. And even if orders were given, they would probably be forged by the Titan's shadow in front of Rorschach.
Finally, after the tea puffs were all prepared, the Titan's shadow stated his purpose for coming.
