Mythos Of Narcissus: Reborn As An NPC In A Horror VRMMO

Chapter 46: Mysterious Divinator

"In a normal and civilized fashion, Lupina and I splurged some of our bloodies for food and alcohol, 6 hours before the dusk arrived," Verina started her tale.

"I see, so it is a drunkard-to-drunkard communication."

"Despite our physical constitution, we can drink barrels of ales and mead without passing out."

"I don't see that as useful information."

"In our casual two-person party, we overheard a spicy discussion about a certain, surprisingly unknown to us but famous to others—'Divinator' that arrived into the citadel a few hours ago.

"It is said that by paying a mere 5 C-tier bloodies to that Divinator, we can get our fate checked and guided to a very auspicious encounter."

Interesting.

The infodump didn't tell me anything about the existence of Divinator, so I didn't really know much nuance outside what the occupation name implies.

Regardless, it was easy to read how all of this goes.

"Is a Divinator that rare?"

"Very rare."

"Are what they are doing counted as the extension of ohrtending?"

"Who knows. Some Theotech can let you see the future, and all of that crazy divination stuff, so it's not always because of an ohrtending."

Looked like I should put 'Theotech Hunt' on my to-do list.

"Continuing the story—so the two of you decided to see what this rumor was all about."

"Obviously, we were quite well-off in terms of coins back then, so wasting a couple of C-tier bloodies won't hurt." Her eyes sparkled when she said that, as if she was proud of the fact that they weren't this poor and homeless before the robbery incident. "So while in a drunken state, we scoured the citadel in

She passed out again.

Her temperature was enough to make the surrounding water warm, and her exhaust horns had been producing hot fumes nonstop.

"... She will get dehydrated at this point."

So slapped her again and again until she was awake.

"Huah!" Her eyes were wide open as she appeared to be gasping for air. "I dreamed of being bathed by a motherly version of Narcy, and it is one of the best dreams that I have in my life."

She then started to judge her surroundings once again.

"If you pass out again, I will leave your unconscious body on the river for wild animals to nibble at."

"Sorry, ma'am."

"What with the honorifics."

"Sorry, mommy."

"That is worse than the honorific."

It didn't take long until she got used to the stimulation.

After I felt that my body was shiny and refreshed, I prepared our departure to go back to our bastion.

Verina was speechless as I helped her wear her robe and everything.

After that, it was back to walking and piggybacking this kilnalan back to our humble abode.

"Thank you for taking care of me," Verina uttered sheepishly. "I'll think of a way to mitigate my lack of mobility."

"I'm sure you will."

"As for the name of the Divinator…"

"Oh, I don't need to do anything for that?"

"You already did more things than I asked for."

"Huh."

I guess taking care of her hygiene while she was unconscious was also counted to her time-to-time debauched shenanigan.

"I won't repeat the name of this Divinator after I say it once."

"Sure, blast it off."

"The Divinator's name is Loki."
