Romanian Pope, St. Aegis 23, Vittorio? Saint-Rébarre.

It is the spiritual pillar of all the human beings on the continent who believe in the first ancestor Brimir - especially for the common people.

If a traditional Harquekinian like Louise received a letter from Victoria, he would have been thrilled to fall asleep.

But Yakumo just looked at the secret letter from the Pope very calmly.

The first impression of Juanxiu's handwriting on the letter was very good, and if it hadn't been for the fact that he had known that the Pope was a man, Yakumo would have thought that it was a letter written by a gentle woman.

The letter was courteous in its wording, with Vittorio first praising Yakumo's performance on the battlefield of Albion, expressing his gratitude to him for maintaining the stability of the kingdom, and mentioning his curiosity about the other world.

The point is, at the end of the letter, Victoria invites Yakumo to go to Romania.

"That's right, I'm going to look for you later."

The flames ignited by the demonic power released by his fingertips burned the letter, and Yakumo looked at Julio, who was still standing in front of him, quietly waiting for his response.

"You should have the means to contact Victoria here, right?"

Not caring about Yakumo's move to call the Pope by his name, Julio nodded with a smile.

"Well, tell His Majesty the Pope, and I'll say I've agreed to his invitation."

"Then, I'll wait for Your Excellency Yakumo."

◇

"What!? His Majesty wrote to personally invite you to Romania!? ”

In Louise's room, the girl looked at Yakumo with wide eyes.

"Yakumo, you didn't lie to me, did you!?"

"What are you doing with this kind of thing?" The little girl's fierce reaction made Yakumo laugh. "You seem to have a longing for the Pope?"

"As a pious Brimir, isn't that right?"

Louise grimaced.

Blimier, that is what all human beings who believe in the First Ancestors call themselves in terms of their religious identity.

stepped forward and gently pinched Yakumo's sleeve. Louise looked up.

"Naa, Yakumo, when are we going?"

"Huh? Are you going too? ”

"——!?" Louise shouted, "Aren't you going to take me with Yakumo?" ”

After speaking, the girl showed an expression that if you dare not take me, I will bite you to death.

"Okay, okay, clean up tomorrow. We'll set off the day after tomorrow. ”

"Yay——!"

Looking at Louise, who had opened her closet and started preparing her clothes, Yakumo sighed.

"Louise, you don't know yet. That Julio was the last of the void apostles. ”

"Really? Wouldn't that be great? Yakumo, you're just collecting the Divine Seal! ”

The girl looked at her with joy.

"So, after collecting the Divine Seal, I'm going to go back to Gensokyo."

“——！！”

The hand that was fetching clothes from the outside of the closet suddenly froze.

"Y-You're leaving?"

Ask in a low voice. Louise looked at Yakumo cautiously.

"Yes. Originally, I wanted to see the magic of this world, but when I was almost done, I went back, but when I found the seal of the gods, I changed my purpose to collect the seal. ”

"Now that the goal is almost accomplished, and this time has seen the Torlistine and the collection of books in the academy about the same, it's time to go home."

"Back to ...... Home? ”

Louise reacted.

Even if you are in the same room with yourself every day, even if you wake up every day, the first thing you see is that youkai who is more beautiful than a girl.

But here, after all, is not Yakumo's home.

【When...... is it】

Louise was in her mind.

【Since when.】 You will feel that Yakumo is a matter of course for you, since when did you start?]

The corners of his eyes are slightly moist. Louise pursed her lips tightly.

She really wanted to tell Yakumo to stay, but she knew that it was very selfish.

These days, I've heard Yakumo talk about Gensokyo more than once.

There he had his sister, his wife, his daughter, and his friends.

There are also countless girls waiting for him to go back.

Louise suddenly realized that she had been running away, and it was possible that Yakumo would suddenly tell herself at some point: "I'm leaving." ”

Overhead, there was a sudden warm touch.

Yakumo Mo's hand rested on Louise's head.

Stroking, stroking.

"Don't show such a sad expression, it's not like you will never be able to see each other."

"Huh!?"

What does that mean?

A glimmer of hope flashed in Louise's eyes.

"Do you mean ——??"

"In fact, there's one thing you may not quite know. Whenever I arrived, I could connect with Gensokyo. ”

"When the time comes, you can go directly to Gensokyo through a specific waypoint."

"As for where the teleportation point is located, it's up to you, it can be the Academy, it can be the Torlistine Palace, of course, you can set it up in your own home."

"Really?" Reaching out and grabbing Yakumo's hand on top of her head, Louise asked in a low voice, "Is it true that I can come to you at any time?" ”

"Really."

"Really, really?"

"Really, really."

"Really, really, really?"

“…… You don't cheat on word counts anymore. ”

Louise finally burst into tears and laughed.

Wiping tears from the corners of her eyes, Louise raised a big smile.

"Then, Yakumo, let's say goodbye to the trip to Romania!"

"Don't talk like life and death."

Yakumo shook her head, and the hand on Louise's head pressed lightly, causing the girl to let out a cute whimper.

After successfully diverting Louise's attention and recovering her mood, Yakumo walked over to the bed.

The moonlight is fragrant.

Although Victoria's words were tactful in his heart, Yakumo also smelled a hint of something unusual.

It seems that he is also collecting the sigils of the gods.

Or rather, he was trying to gather all the Void users.

At the same time, he has mentioned more than once that the users of nothingness have a mission and responsibility to save the world.

Listening to the unknown ballad hummed by Louise behind him while packing up her clothes, Yakumo shook his head secretly.

No matter how you look at it, I don't think that Louise, this little girl, will save the world or anything.

However, in addition to the Pope's letter, Yakumo also saw a prophecy in the underground archives of the Torristeen Academy of Magic - when the world faces darkness, there will be four users of nothingness who will take on the responsibility of saving the world.

Some of the elven books that Tifania had brought from her home also said that the appearance of the four Void Users would plunge the world into darkness.

Demonic power, this is the elves' name for the power of nothingness.

Regardless of the hostility between elves and humans, the common account of the power of nothingness between the two can tell one thing.

That's the time to go to Romania, and something interesting is bound to happen. (To be continued......)
