"Hurry, hurry, big brother Agaté......"

"I see, I'm already the fastest, okay!"

On the plain outside the village of Yamor, a man with red flame-like hair was running with a little blonde girl on his back. The anxious attitude is like the person on his back is seriously injured and must go to the doctor immediately. However, it doesn't look like that little girl.

Finally, the two rushed to the village of Yamor, and met a demure figure at the entrance of the village. Wearing a light purple coat, free and noble. She had short light purple hair, but a white falcon rested on the girl's shoulder, adding some variation to her color.

"Agat, Tita, you're here."

Seeing them coming, the girl smiled and waved at them. The man known as Agaté was out of breath and quickly adjusted his breathing, and took several deep breaths in a row to calm down.

"What, they're gone?"

"Hmm. It's too late. ”

The girl smiled at the two of them, and there was a bit of loneliness in her smile.

"Hey...... How could it be ......"

The little girl behind Agaté almost showed a look of being about to cry, and Agaté was so frightened that she hurriedly comforted: "Don't cry, if Erica (Tida's mother) finds out, she will be looking for trouble again!" ”

"Yes, I'm sorry!"

Frightened by his inconsoling words, the little girl behind her, Tida, was about to cry.

"Speaking of which, it's really hard enough for you to come from so far away."

After a few words of comfort, Agaté accosted the girl in front of her.

"Hmm...... After all, it was too late when I received the news, so I still divided today's official business between yesterday and tomorrow. ”

"It's really hard for the princess."

Agaté sighed.

All three of them received a mysterious letter saying that Yutatsumi was going to take Esther Joshua here for a vacation. Let them join in the fun.

The letter, needless to say, must have been sent by Ling.

But consider that Ling is in Crossbell, and if you send a letter to a Liber person, the delivery time of the letter is a problem. So, when the Liber people received the letter, it was already time for Yutatsumi to come here and start enjoying the first hot spring bath.

Tita's family lives in Chase, and Agaté takes a day or two out of her week to play with Tita, and the two are relatively close. But the princess in front of her was actually earlier than the two...... It's hard to imagine what kind of means she used.

"That'...... What to do? Everyone is gone. ”

Agaté asked, complaining inwardly about how the kid walked so chicly. Come and go. It's as if someone is chasing his debts. When he was gone, Agat's purpose for coming here was gone, and he had brought Titha to meet them......

"This ......"

Tida was also left without a master, and looked at the princess at a loss for help. The princess smiled and said, "The only one who went back was You and his friends." Estelle and Joshua, as well as Rei, are all stranded here. It's time to find a hotel in Chase, right? ”

“！ Thank you, Sister Coloss! ”

"Hah—you're not going to ask me to carry you back again, are you?"

Agaté looked back helplessly, looked at Tyda's pitiful expression, and let out a long sigh.

"Okay, okay, I got it. Really...... Why is this happening? ”

After the three of them said goodbye, Agaté and Tita walked in the direction of Chase, while the princess Koros walked towards the Momiji Pavilion.

It's rare to come here in a hurry, so let's soak it by the way and leave. Otherwise, it would be a big loss.

The sudden change from a student to a princess made Kross think more about the efficiency of her time. It takes so much time to come and go, and if you go back without doing anything, it's a meaningless time. If you soak in the hot springs before leaving, then you can barely count them as rest time.

Stripped off her clothes and draped herself in a bath towel, Kross ghostly walked into the mixed bath.

If it's his character, there's no doubt that he'll be semi-forced to let everyone bathe together.

Recalling her senior's always gentle face, Klos couldn't help but laugh, soaked her body in the water, and stretched her waist slightly.

Suddenly, she noticed another person by the pool.

A woman.

He has dark purple hair that is as pure as painting paint, and his hair is very long, with a hair curtain that covers his left eye just right, and his right eye is red, like a jewel. The hands and feet are very long, and as a woman, there is nothing to say about a good figure.

This woman ......

Kross pondered and finally came to the conclusion that she didn't know her.

Since it was only the two of them in the bath, Kross couldn't help but continue to observe the people in front of her.

She was reading, the book was very thick, she could see the middle position, the title of the book was not clear, but judging by the delicate decoration and pattern of the cover, Kolos judged that it might be a holy book.

After all, as the princess of a country, you must have a certain understanding of the largest religion in your country, or the largest religion in the Semuria continent, the Qiyao Church. Although Kolos hadn't read all of their holy texts, she knew the basic meaning and the shape of the holy texts.

And...... Although it is not real......

But the delicate carvings of the book cover look like an "original" rather than a "copy".

Perhaps sensing that someone was looking at her, the woman glanced at Kross indifferently, and her cold gaze made her subconsciously shrink her head and look away.

By the time I looked at it, the woman was gone.

That man...... Is she a nun from the Seven Jewels Church?

Kloss remembered the clothes in the locker room...... It clearly didn't look like a nun's dress......

But......

Kross thought of a bad priest with a hairstyle like an onion, an unreliable priest who could even throw away the holy scriptures...... However, he is also a real priest. His vestments were completely different.

Well...... As a result, is it not?

Even Kloss herself didn't know why she was so concerned.

――――――

Women with purple hair will disappear, of course, because they have left the bath.

"He's gone."

She held Ainigema in one hand to contact whom, and then put on her clothes with one hand. It was a plain outfit without much fancy.

"Hmm. What is certain is that the medicine called True Wisdom still hasn't negated my abilities. The scar remained on his chest. ”

If Kross had been more suspicious, and even eavesdropped on her conversation, then I'm afraid she would have understood the identity of this person.

When Yu Tatsumi left Liber, he was sniped by the Knights of the Star Cup. There was an irreparable wound on the left rib.

Combined, the identity of this person is already coming out.

"Guardian Knight? Don't be stupid Ain. With Archbishop Crossbell's uncooperative attitude, he may not let me in alone, let alone the 'leader of the lackeys' of the 'Knights of the Star Cup'. ”

She sat on a bench and wore high-heeled boots in one hand.

“…… All right. If you want them to support you, do so. You're right, though. ”

After arranging her clothes, her gaze suddenly drifted into the distance, as if she was looking for something, but in fact, she should only be able to see the wooden wall.

"Cross Bell, there's going to be a big problem. I'm afraid, it's another treasure level trouble. So, who are you going to send over...... Fifth place? Hehe, that immature little ghost. Whatever you like, Ain. ”

The corners of the woman's mouth hooked up a smile, as if the mention of this [fifth] made her think of something pleasant.

"That's right, Ain."

"What"

The voice of the person on the other end of the communication trembled visibly. The feelings of the weak heart can simply fly out through Anigema.

"Listen, if I'm not there, you dare to leave the paperwork of the Knights alone, and if it accumulates more than a week's worth of paperwork, I'll be back when I get back...... You know, right? ”

A cold smile erupted in her lately, and a black flame could almost leak through her body.

"Yes, yes! I know- wait! Chizuki-sama, will you spare me...... That's a lot of paperwork to write dead people......"

"That's your problem as the chief, not mine."

The woman known as Qianyue coldly closed Enigma and left freely.
