Northwest of the European continent, the British Isles.

The former British Empire, today the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

The thousand-year-old capital of London.

The sea breezes from the North Atlantic and the English Channel give the air a touch of humidity throughout the city.

is different from the pompousness and irritability of New York, USA, and the superficial materialism. With a history of thousands of years, London is like a graceful lady, quietly located on the plains of the southeast of England.

Although the streets are bustling, the weaving of pedestrians, even civilians, has a bit of nobility.

The pride and reserve of the Victorian era still affect every corner of the United Kingdom, and London in particular.

In south-east London, on the south bank of the River Thames, there is a castle the size of Buckingham Palace.

Ordinary people may not know about it, but this castle is famous in the world of magicians.

Greenwich Sage Council.

Magicians, occultists, Doctor Goblin, and others who have a deep connection with magic. Or there is a thin line between them and experts, ordinary scholars, market researchers, priests, priests, monks, priests, artists, bourgeoises, nobles, royalty, royalty, etc.

A circle of people with common hobbies and aspirations who gather to exchange information.

Gradually, this circle evolved into a parliament and made its headquarters in Greenwich Borough, England.

This is today's Council of the Wise.

Alice? Louis? Orphe? Nafar.

The daughter of Duke Goldin's family, an outstanding honor student, commonly known as a princess? Alice. Although she is the daughter of the duke's family, she is a witch with enough boasting of her outstanding spiritual power.

At the age of 16, he was recommended to become the speaker of the Sage Council. She is very knowledgeable, and at the same time a real princess

She was elegant, and she was lying on a bench in the garden. Enjoy the warm afternoon sun.

On the white round table next to her, the fragrance of delicate black tea made Alice's bright eyes squint slightly.

She was about twenty years old and had dazzling blonde hair. A top-grade white jacket is paired with black boots, and underneath the jacket is a short knitted dress and trousers. This kind of dress perfectly sets off Alice's perfume-like temperament.

Just as the beautiful woman was drowsy from the afternoon sun, a sound of footsteps rang out.

Didn't open his eyes, just by the sound of footsteps. Alice then judged the identity of the person who came.

"Ah, I'll just lie down for a while, it's rare that the weather is so good today, and you don't always have a straight face! MISS?Ericsson. ”

Ericsson, known as MISS?, was a woman in her thirties with her hair tied up and thin-rimmed glasses.

"Your Highness Princess, if you weren't always thinking about sneaking out with your ghostly body, I wouldn't be like this."

Walk over to Alice. Ericsson stroked his glasses on the bridge of his nose, then handed Alice a stack of papers in his hand.

"This is a report that has just been sent by the council."

Alice immediately pursed her pink lips like an awkward child.

"Really, it doesn't stop for a moment! What's going on this time? Is there a certain 'king' who has made a big disturbance again, or has there been a god of disobedience somewhere? ”

"Actually, strictly speaking, both—"

Ericsson maintained a one-sided tone, as if she were a serious female teacher.

She is indeed a teacher, and is in charge of Alice's governess, but she also works part-time as a housekeeper.

"—A new 'king' has been born."

The eyes that had been slightly closed suddenly opened.

Alice tilted her head. Take the document from Ericsson's hand.

"Oops, this is a great deal~~"

Although serious words are spoken. But Alice didn't see the solemnity at all, and casually looked at the documents handed over by Ericsson, and Alice's face showed the characteristic expression when she found a child discovering a fun toy.

"No kidding, right? MISS?Ericsson? ”

Ericsson just kept a serious expression and stared at Alice without saying a word.

"Shhhh Do you have to try to joke once in a while? It's hard to get married like this all the time! ”

It's hard to get married!

Ericsson, who is completely in line with an upright and strict female governess in words and deeds, finally showed a tangled expression.

She secretly hid from everyone and ran to the marriage agency to register as a member!

It's just that every time the object is defeated because of his unsmiling character. This has also been distressing Ericsson.

Now that Alice has inadvertently uncovered the scar, Ericsson almost blackened on the spot.

Alice flipped through the papers in her hand, blinked, and suddenly raised a big smile at Ericsson.

"THAT, MISS? ERICSSON. I want to ......"

"No way!"

"Huh? I haven't even said what I'm going to do! ”

"Anyway, Your Highness Princess, you will only think about sneaking out with your ghostly body! How many times have I said this practice to your body—"

"Oops, oops, got it!"

Alice muttered something with a flat mouth, narrowing her eyes again and stretching her body.

The afternoon sun is really suitable for sleeping.

Looking at Alice, who looked as if she was about to fall asleep, Ericsson sighed silently and turned to leave.

- If it weren't for the fact that Her Royal Highness the Princess's health was too poor, how could she organize Her Highness's desire to go out?

After Ericsson left, Alice, who seemed to be asleep, immediately opened her eyes, her cunning eyes flashed with a strange light, and Alice looked at the document in her hand again.

[Excerpt from the report on the newly confirmed Campione]

The Persian god Verethrana is a god with complex attributes.

He is the god of war who serves the main god Mithra, and is worshipped as a patron saint in later Zoroastrianism for his excellent military strength.

This deity has the property of changing ten postures.

Begin to appear in the form of a strong wind, and can transform into a bull, a white horse, a camel, a pig, a boy, a phoenix, a goat, a goat, and a human warrior with a golden sword.

Veleslana gradually changes his posture and wins at the same time, and is a being who brings victory to his worshippers - "victory" becomes synonymous with this god.

Mecal, king of the gods, great warrior, strongest hunter of dragon slaying.

The Canaanites, the Phoenicians, and other Semitic language groups worshipped god-kings.

Originally, he was the god of storms, lightning, and the sky, but his authority continued to grow stronger, and in the end he had a lot of power.

Yakumo Mo, who killed two of these gods at the same time, became Campione.

According to the "Red Demon" belonging to the Bronze Black Cross, Erica? Brontree reports that the Campione is not human, but a youkai.

The details are unknown, and now that the monster has long been extinct, there is no evidence that this Campione is a monster.

Judging by the "Yakumo" in the name, this Campione may belong to the Far Eastern Country.

It is worth noting that this Campione was accompanied by an angel.

"Youkai? Angel? ”

Alice's beautiful eyes looked at the photographs of Yakumo and Icarus printed out of the document.

"You can't think of it as if you didn't see it!"

◇

"Hahaha. It's useless, Welleslana. The god of invincibility was defeated in front of the weak youkai. ”

"Shut up, King Merca. You're the one who you are, you've been deprived of your sanity! ”

Faintly, Yakumo heard such a conversation.

"Humph! But the death power of the Netherworld, this monster can't be a monster of the underworld, right? I don't know what it has to do with Hades......"

"Idiot! No matter how you look at it, it can't have anything to do with Hades! And in addition to that tempting force of death, don't you think that another force that seems to come from the root is more worthy of our attention? ”

"That doesn't matter, this guy is about to wake up anyway, and then let him taste it."

"You mean ......?"

"That's it! Epimetheus and Pandora, the curses left behind by the hateful siblings of Prometheus. The dark Christmas festival that gave birth to the son of the fool and the witch is a secret ritual that can only be succeeded with the sacrifice of the gods! Look, your divine power has flowed into this guy's body! ”

……

"Oh, there's a new baby!"

"Pandora? You actually showed up in person. ”

"Ah, the God King hasn't seen you for a long time, right? But as long as I am in a place where God and man are, I will definitely appear! ”

"Hey, hey, hey...... It's a pity that this time it's not a human, it's a monster! See if you can still make your reincarnation sacrifice smoothly? ”

"Huh? Monster? ”

- There seems to be a pair of soft little hands pressed on Yakumo Mo's chest.

"Goo......!!"

Instinctively, Yakumo reached out and grabbed the small hand pressed against his chest.

Trembling his slender and neat eyelashes, Yakumo opened his eyes.

"Oops! There is still consciousness! Should I say that it is worthy of being a youkai? ”

As far as the eye can see, it is a cute little girl. (To be continued......)
