"Da, da, da......"

In the empty pilgrimage hall, there was a sudden sound of footsteps.

Because of the structure of the building, the footsteps are quite loud with the blessing of the echo.

Louise and the others, who were happily discussing the religious stories of the decorations and patterns in the main hall, suddenly stopped.

In the darkness of the corridor, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared there.

The shorter man was none other than Julio, who had recently left.

"That's—that's ......"

"Do you mean ......?"

With an excited expression on her face, Louise knelt on the smooth marble floor with a "swish", followed by Sherlock.

Shesta, who was behind her, quickly knelt down.

Tifania looked at Louise, Sherlock, and Shesta in a wamped manner, and after a careful glance at Yakumo and Pache Li, she hesitated, but still fell to her knees in the same way as Louise and Shesta.

Pache slowly put away the book in her hand, glancing in the direction of the visitor.

Yakumo raised his eyelids.

Pope.

Vittorio? Saint-Rébarre.

It was a tall and thin man, half a head taller than Yakumo Mo.

Long blond shawl hair, with a kind smile in the same color pupils.

The skin is smooth and fair, although it is not as good as Yakumo Mo, but it is on par with Louise and her group of girls who pay attention to maintenance.

He wears an ornate robe representing the status and power of the Pope, and holds a scepter of the same length and height as he holds in his hand.

He wears a high papal crown on his head.

No matter how you look at it, he is a handsome man who can make a very good first impression.

Seeing that Yakumo and Pache were not kneeling down because of their arrival like Louise and the others, Victoria laughed softly as she walked in front of everyone.

"Sure enough, it's the same as the rumors, it's not informal, Lord Yakumo from another world, Miss Norrigi."

"I'm Victoria? Saint-Rébarre. Also known as the Romanian Pope, St. Aegis 23. ”

Moving his gaze to the girls kneeling in front of him, Victoria nodded slightly.

"Please take care of the user of the void and her friends."

A user of nothingness?

[Are you talking about me?]

Louise looked up and looked at Victoria with a red face.

"Your Majesty, why do you know?"

"The heroism of Miss Vallière and Lord Yakumo on the battlefield of Albion has long been spread throughout the continent. Of course, Miss Norregi. ”

Victoria's voice has a strange charm that calms stirring emotions.

"Miss Vallier, I know that you are a powerful user."

"Yes! It's an honor! His Majesty the Pope! Louise lowered her head, her tone trembling slightly.

"And then—"

Victoria looked to Tifania to the side.

"Miss Westwood."

"Huh? Be! ”

Not expecting Victoria to suddenly call his Tifania panicked.

"You may not have noticed it yourself, but you are also one of the users of the power of nothingness."

"That, that, I actually know ......"

"Oh?"

Victoria let out an "oh" in surprise, and then looked at Yakumo Mo, who was standing behind everyone with a smile, who had been silent.

"Is it because of Lord Yakumo?"

"Yes." Yakumo nodded, "I'm collecting the Divine Seal, so I sense that Tifa has the power of nothingness. There was another thing I'm curious about. How did you know that Tifa was a user of the Void? ”

Victoria's expression was a little new.

As the Pope, he had never seen someone like Yakumo who spoke directly to him as an equal.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess Torristeen told me that Westwood is a half-elf."

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, she ——!?"

"Don't you know? Miss Westwood and Her Royal Highness Princess Torristeen are cousins, and we follow this thread to find evidence that Miss Westwood is a Void User. ”

"I see."

Yakumo didn't expect that Tifania and Ann Rietta were still cousins.

Are you a relative of the royal family?

Tifania looked at Victoria in a daze, not expecting that she still had relatives in this world.

"But why didn't Her Highness tell me first......" Tifania asked, puzzled.

"Don't be wrong with the princess."

Victoria shook his head.

"It was only after you were on your way to Romania that Princess Ann Rietta found evidence that Westwood was her cousin. Then he wrote to me about it. ”

Yakumo narrowed his eyes slightly, "We spent ten days on the road because we walked slowly. It's good that you can go from receiving Princess Angeletta's letter to checking the evidence of Tifa's illusory identity in such a short period of time. ”

"I am very happy to receive praise from His Excellency Yakumo. In addition, Lord Yakumo guessed through Julio that I am also a user of nothingness, and Julio. It's my demons. ”

This matter, because Yakumo Mo had already told Louise and them beforehand, so the girls were not surprised.

"That's right—"

Victoria opened his hands slightly.

"We are all housed with this legendary power, and we have been given the mission to guide the world to the right path."

Louise pursed her lips, her eyes twinkle.

Louise of Zero. Louise, who was ridiculed by her classmates before.

He has the same power as Victoria, and he is on a mission to save the world!

Louise was so happy that her whole body was about to fly.

At the same time, Julio also stepped up and removed the white glove from his right hand.

"For the fullest, I'm Julio, the right hand of God, Vindarul. The ability is a free control phantom beast. ”

"Oh......"

Yakumo looked at Julio and then at Victoria.

"Huh? Do you have any questions? ”

"I want to know...... When the two of you signed the contract, where did you get close? Yakumo smiled strangely.

………………

The hall fell into an eerie silence.

Louise and the others covered their mouths in surprise.

Only then did they realize that when the humanoid demon signed a contract, the master was going to kiss the demon.

Looking at the embarrassed Victoria and Julio, Yakumo clasped his hands on his chest and nodded, "I see, are you also trying to revive philosophy ♂ here?" ”

Pache raised the magic book in her hand and slapped it on Yakumo's head: "Don't embarrass Gensokyo anymore!" ”

"It's too ......"

Sorting out the hosta that was photographed by Pachouli, Yakumo waved his hand and laughed.

"Just kidding, Lord Saint Rebarre."

Call it by name.

This behavior stunned everyone except Patchouli again.

However, Victoria smiled again, "It's so good, it's easy to talk to Lord Yakumo, I haven't felt this way in years." ”

Later, Vittorio said, "In this way, we have gathered three users, I heard that Lord Yakumo has collected three God Seals?" In this way, the power of the demons is also gathered. ”

"Our power exists to save the world, in other words, we have this power because there is something that needs us to do that will happen."

Looking at Yakumo Mo, Victoria bent down slightly.

This move made Louise and the others exclaim.

"I don't know why Lord Yakumo is collecting the Seal of the Gods, but I hope that Lord Yakumo can use that power to help me, no, to help save the world that is about to fall into darkness."

"You're not the first person I've met who will put on your shoulders to save the world or something."

Yakumo whispered.

"However, it is also true that I seized the power that was passed down from Blimier without authorization, and it belongs to your world, so I agreed to help you if it was not too much."

"It's just that when it's done, I hope that Julio's right hand of God will be handed over to me."

"That's nature."

Victoria nodded with a smile.

And just like that, the deal was made. (To be continued......)
