Another week passed, and this time something big had happened. The six of us were going to the world Celestial.
In a week, I had to prepare everything before going. The maids were now fully functional, with Nekomaru and his wife doing great work. As for Prince, he was given a massive job with huge money on the line.
The information I gained about Celestial was interesting. I heard it's a world unlike most, and I was interested to see what the place could offer.
Since I had helped Agnus at the party, he had given me the tools to go to the Celestial World and would help me get there.
I was in disbelief when Agnus told me how to get to the fifth rank in the world. It might have taken years without any assistance. We would need direct access to the world and a recommendation. I was lucky that Agnus gave it as gratitude. Otherwise, I would have needed to do something more to obtain one from him.
"Charles! When are we going?"
Constance was excited to go to the world Celestial, I didn't know why, but it was great that she was in the mood to travel.
"We will start any minute. Before we leave, Agnus will directly transport us to that world. It's much easier to go there with his help."
"Then do you know when he will be coming?"
Out of everyone, Courtney was the least excited about this trip. Since we were going, we lost all patience in waiting. I patted her head gently, which managed to calm her down.
"He will be here soon. Just wait a bit longer."
With me patting Courtney's head, the girls swarmed me, wanting some of the action done to Courtney. Before this got out of hand, I had comforted them, and it wasn't long before the person we were waiting for arrived.
"I still haven't thanked you enough for your assistance at the party. Without you, the mess would be a bigger deal than it is now."
During the incident, I healed everyone that was injured by the explosion. If more people had died in the explosion, I doubt the company would continue to operate after all. The party had many important people who shouldn't die in that place.
The ZTF really did a whole lot of damage with that one attack. I wonder how the spy got in without notice. One thing for sure is that the next party, Agnus, will be more strict with security.
"It's fine. You have helped me a lot already."
While it was nice for Agnus to owe me, I preferred if Agnus's favorability towards me was high. In this case, it would give me more of a chance to ask Agnus for a request. The same could be said the other way around.
"Then I won't say anything more. Now then, are you ready to set out?"
"We have everything we need."
With everyone here ready, Agnus opened a portal. Agnus entered the portal first, and we entered along with him. Agnus himself didn't teleport us to the world directly but had us inside a small room.
"Before we go to Celestial, we must go to the gateway. I have a friend here that owes me a favour. It shouldn't take too long before you enter."
Agnus had connections all over the place. Knowing someone like him saved me from most of the troubles I had to deal with. The room we were in was small, leading us down only one path.
Opening the door to the next room, we could see a staircase leading to a doorway to a different world.
"Agnus, it's been a while."
"Yes, it has Agar. How have you been doing?"
Before making a request, Agnus asked how his friend was doing. I don't know their relationship, but I stayed silent along with the rest of the girls.
Both Agnus and the man known as Agar were only making idle talk. It wasn't long before Agnus told him what he wanted from Agar.
"Agar. These seven people here are people to whom I owe my gratitude. I hope you will let these six pass through the gate."
"Anything for an old friend. Kid, what's your name? Getting a favor from Agnus himself isn't an everyday thing."
Agar's interest in me rose when he heard this was a favor from Agnus himself. Agar was a humanoid creature, but I didn't know exactly what he was. He gave me a friendly gesture, asking me for my name.
"I'm Charles. Thank you for letting us in."
"Polite, ain't ya? Go up on ahead. This world is interesting, I tell ya, but interesting could also be dangerous if you can't afford it."
Giving us access to the gate, he opened it and moved out of the way. As Agar warned us before we entered the world, I wonder how much danger one could have in a world like this.
"Charles. I won't be able to join you, but let me tell you this. The world Celestial will be much harsher than the rest. Don't piss off anyone you can't afford."
I nodded and went up the stairs. With all that done, everyone around me bid the two farewell. The gate to Celestial was now in front of us, and we prepared to enter.
"Are you all ready?"
"Yeah!!!"
After getting confirmation from everyone, we entered the gate. Unlike instant transportation, the gate here pushed us to a different location.
"Is everyone okay?"
This type of teleportation would give people motion sickness. I looked at everyone and saw Courtney and Rose about to throw up. Other than that, Reina looked ill from the teleportation.
Surprisingly, there was no one here to oversee us. I guess the people of this world didn't need to care about invaders. There are too many variables in this world.
The world Celestial was unlike any other world I had seen before. The ground we were stepping on was a cloud with physical properties. With my ability to see far and wide, I couldn't even cover the entire world.
Five primary races lived in this world. Angels, fairies, dragons, humans, and elves. Giving the three girls medicine that would help with their sickness, we entered the town nearest from here.
Instead of a town, it was more like a city. While it had an old-timey aesthetic, I could get used to the look of this place.
"Halt!"
Unlike where we came from, the city had guards blocking the city. Two angels were guarding the city, stopping it from going in.
"Did you seven come in from the gateway?"
"Yes. Is there something wrong with that?"
Gateway? I would assume that we did. While the guards weren't implying anything wrong, I had to ensure nothing terrible would happen.
"No. Since you came from the gateway, we are required to assist you in any way possible."
Was there such a privilege? If so, the gateway helped us a lot. I was glad to help Agnus during that time.
"Is that so? Do we need to get something from this place?"
"An identification is needed for most parts of this world. We can handle that right now."
For a guard, these people were sure receptive. Not only were they powerful, but they were also knowledgeable about their work.
"Give us the most natural face you can give."
With only those words, the angels took a picture of us, which I would assume was needed for this identification.
"Sign this, and you will be done."
The process was quick and easy. Something anyone would appreciate. With us signing the paper, we were finished with this session.
"Before we escort you, let me tell you some tips about this world. This world is obviously many times more dangerous than your previous one. Monsters and thieves could easily crush you without a second thought."
"While some people here have some tolerance, assume all of them don't. There will be some unreasonable people who will start a fight for the smallest things."
"As for currency, the hub's currency is the most common use."
The angel recited a few more rules and opened the gates. The gate opened, revealing the full glory of this city.
"We hope you enjoy your stay. Don't go picking fights with people you can't see through."
"Thank you for your help."
"It's part of our job. Don't mention it.
The angel smiled at us brightly as we entered the city. The city in this world could be called a country in ours. This city was the size of a medium country. As expected from a fifth-ranking world.
"Charles. Could I ask how much money you have? We aren't exactly well off with this world's currency."
"I have five trillion."
Everyone's eyes widened at what I had said. With me doing a massacre, the money I had rose exponentially. Five trillion wasn't something anyone would hear.
"You guys hear that? Give us your money."
Great! Eavesdroppers.
