Chapter 37
Chapter 37: A Saint with Seven Heads
「Master, it’s a visitor desu」
After doing a day’s work and relaxing inside the mansion, Miu said sothing like that .
「A visitor? Who is it?」
「Uhmm, it was a person called, lissa-san」
「That’s a na I heard for the first ti . But well, pass her to the drawing-room」
「Yes」
*BataBata* Miu went out . I also left the room I was relaxing in, and went slowly to the drawing-room
『That was a woman’s na . The poor victims of your poison fang will increase again huh』
「Don’t call it a poison fang . Even like this, I am taking care of them very well . I an, you’re the one who have a poison fang, you’re possessing everyone right」
『You’re too much of a devil that I couldn’t possess though』
「Don’t call a devil, I am at least taking care of my won kindly」
『That kindly thing you say, I can hear it as the sa nuance with “loving” them』
While conversing with Eleanor like that, I entered the drawing-room .
There was a few girls inside .
Everyone was wearing the sa clothes, three of them with comparatively simple clothes, and was standing just like a bodyguard .
One of them were wearing the sa base of clothes with a colorful decoration, and was having a seat .
It was a formation that could easily tell their relationship .
The bodyguard girls were around the middle of their twenties, and the girl who was sitting was a little younger, around the latter of her teens .
The girl who was having a seat stood up, and talked with a very casual tone .
「I’m lissa」
「Yuuki Kakeru desu . Please have a seat」
I made lissa sit, and I also took a seat .
「And then, what task have you co for ?」
「That on your waist, it’s Demon Sword Eleanor right」
「Un? Yeah, that’s right」
What about it, the instance when I was going to ask, I noticed .
lissa was not that much, but the bodyguard girls’ faces were stiff .
They were staring at Eleanor with a very scary face, and gripped their fist very hard .
They’re nervous, no, are they scared?
「Is that the real thing?」
「It’s a fake」
It was troubleso, so said it carelessly .
There’s no rit even if I say it was real, they will just say 「There is no way that could be handled by a normal human」 or sothing like that .
That’s why I said that, but as soon as lissa heard that, her face colors changes .
「Why are you lying? The evil that is leaking from that, no matter how you look at it, that’s the real thing」
I was a little surprised .
I was surprised when she talked about Eleanor the from the start, but also that she felt sothing that made her confident that it was the real thing .
I an……evil is leaking from this huh .
When fighting, I can intentionally release dark auras, but I thought that it was fine as it was normally .
「Why are you not saying anything?」
「Ahh, no . Rather than that, what will you do if this was the real thing?」
「What will I do?」
lissa’s face beca more and more sharp . Did I say sothing stupid?
「You can’t understand even if you look at our appearance?」
「Appearance」
Is there sothing with that appearance? It’s sohow just like a uniform, other than who is higher in stature, I don’t know anything else .
『These girls are of the Solon Church, the world’s largest religion . I do not know about the details, but from their attire, they are quite of high stature』
He〜 . It ans, just like a bishop of Christianity or sothing like that .
I don’t know if a bishop has an authority though, only had that kind of image .
But well, I understand why they got angry . Probably, in this world, just seeing their clothes you can tell if they were of Solon Church . Then, it can’t be helped getting angry .
「A prominent mber of Solon Church ca for what?」
「Even though you know that much, are you asking intentionally?」
「……are you going to seal this?」
One thing that I was familiar ca up to my mind .
A religion, and a Demon Sword that possesses every wielder without exceptions .
Maybe it was that kind of thing, I thought .
And that was correct .
「That’s right . I ca to take that」
Ca to take this huh .
「I’m sorry but I won’t give you this」
「100 coins, in gold」
「Un?」
「I will not say for free, how about we trade if for 100 gold coins?」
Ca to slap bills to my face huh .
「I refuse」
「……how much do you want to give that to us?」
「It’s not about the amount . Even with how much money you stack, I will not let go of this」
「Then, what do you wish for?」
I didn’t answer . Even how much we would negotiate, I knew that we would never be in the sa wavelength .
Giving it to her was the premise for lissa, and I am thinking of not letting go of this whatever happens .
There’s no aning even how much we negotiate .
lissa and I glared at each other .
「I got it」
lissa stood up .
「I don’t know what you got」
I said that a little subtly .
「I’ll co again」
「Again?」
「Un . I will co even how many tis it would take until you change your mind . Well, I’m sure that you’ll know how scary Eleanor is soon, so I think you’ll change your mind though」
lissa said that and left .
☆
In the evening, I ca to pick up Delfina .
In her office inside her rchant company, I talked about what happened with lissa to Delfina .
「To think that the Saint lissa would co」
「Saint lissa」
A sohow cool na ca out .
「In rumors……no, it was the truth for the Solon Church huh, in the war against the infidels, she was captured in the war that had thick signs of defeat, and she should’ve been condemned to be beheaded in prison, but she endured seven days of being beheaded, they said」
「Eh!……she cut for seven days but couldn’t be beheaded?」
I couldn’t get what she was saying .
「That’s right . After that, she was saved by the Solon Church, that “truth” was made to be God’s miracle, and she beca the embodint of that miracle, so she had the ordination to be a Saint」
「That’s a very unbelievable story, I an, what the hell is enduring through seven days of being beheaded」
「That’s why it was God’s miracle, they said desu wa」
「Well, if it was real, it surely is God’s miracle though」
「……should I do sothing about it」
「Sothing, you say?」
「I will slightly make the rumors of that Eleanor being a fake . This is very simple . Yuuki-sama, in reality, was wielding that for a long ti, and had not being possessed by the Demon Sword . That is the truth, but no one would believe that is the real thing……just like 」
While saying that, she blushed a little .
Well Delfina was like that .
「lissa saw this, and said evil was in it」
「She wouldn’t get deceived by rumors huh」
「I think so」
「I understand . Well then, I shall do nothing」
「Yeah」
Starting from the start again .
「Then, let’s go ho」
「Yes」
At the sa ti that Delfina nodded, the room’s door was knocked .
「What?」
Her subordinate entered . It was a familiar face, not surprised seeing .
「A visitor had co to see you」
「A visitor? In this ti, without no appointnt?」
「That is……」
The subordinate whispered to Delfina’s ears .
「It is Saint lissa-sama」
Even though they were whispers, my ears could properly hear it .
Delfina was surprised, and looked at quickly .
Un, it’s like that right, you’ll react like that right .
I was also surprised .
「Yuuki-sama, lissa-sama who we talked about had co」
「About our relationship?」
「It is not known publicly」
「I see」
「……what should we do」
「I’ll leave it to you」
「Yes?」
「Do what you think is best, is easier to understand?」
「Is it alright?」
「Yeah, I’ll leave everything to you」
It would be alright if it was Delfina . She wouldn’t do anything unfavorable to , and she also have the skills .
Rather than soone like , leaving everything to her would be better .
「I have understood . I will go in the big premise that Eleanor wouldn’t be let go」
I nodded . She knows about it after all .
「By the way」
Delfina changed her expression and said . It sohow beca a soft expression .
「Un?」
「Saint lissa, what do you think of her as a woman」
「Woman? U〜n」
It was sothing I hadn’t thought of, so I couldn’t answer imdiately .
☆
In the sa building, I was in another room .
I was eavesdropping in the room next to where lissa was eting with Delfina .
Delfina prepared for it .
「It has been a while, lissa your honor . Your success these days are more and moreーー」
「Introduction is enough . You, you’re acquaintances with that Demon Sword Wielder right」
Oi oi, she knows about it .
「Well, what are you talking about」
「Don’t play dumb . I investigated properly that you had invested in him」
Ahh, that one huh .
「We are a rchant . Investing to people is a very usual thing」
「It’s not like I’m blaming you for that . Rather than that, I ca today to buy information . Information about the Demon Sword Wielder」
「Asking for that, what do you wish to do?」
「Stop playing dumb . You know that the Demon Sword, just by being wielded by soone, it had created uncountable numbers of tragedies right」
「……yes」
「I don’t know why it’s alright right now, but who knows when will it explode and tragedies would occur if we don’t seal that as soon as possible . That town……no, at worst, it would be the fall of the Kingdom of rcouri」
Well that is……it almost happened .
The accident of Undead Army being released from Eleanor’s control . If I didn’t stop it there, Andreu said that Roizen would have been annihilated .
I know that lissa’s worries are not to be unfounded .
But……I’m surprised .
When I was hearing her conversation with Delfina, it feels like lissa only ca with good intentions .
While thinking about that, I eavesdropped .
Delfina precisely deceived her . She wasn’t lying, but she was only saying things that she had investigated before she really t , she said the information as if they were rumors to lissa .
Hunting mountain cows alone, had a mansion, have one beast-man maid, is close to Helen-hi………
She only said that . It could be heard as if it was very detailed, but all of them aren’t much as information .
Things like warp, lending abilities, she didn’t say anything about those things at all .
「Thank you, that was of help」
「It was great that I have been of your service」
「Also, can I ask you one thing?」
「Whatever you want」
「Can you gather these equipnts here? The soon, the better」
「This is……will you go to a tree spirit subjugation?」
「There was this little village called Rintos, it looks like they are troubled with abnormal occurrence with tree spirits . I’m going there right now, can you gather them soon? I’ll pay」
「Rintos……that was a small village that has a population of about a hundred people right」
「? Does the population have sothing to do with that story right now?」
「No . I have understood . I will gather them quickly」
「Please do」
Delfina left that room, I also ca out of my room, and called out to Delfina to stop with a small voice .
「What is the matter」
「Can you ask lissa if she needs a rcenary-like soone . If she needed, can you prepare black attire that can hide my identity」
「……are you going to help her」
「Yeah, I got interested for a bit」
「I have understand . As you wished」
Delfina entered inside .
「lissa, your honor . Rather than equipnts, how about a person」
「A person?」
「If it was the strongest warrior that we know of, we can prepare it right now」
Delfina was profusely holding in high regard .
