Chapter 65: The Sacred Hunter (Part II)
After a while, there was a loud noise from upstairs. Several charred shards fell from the ceiling, nearly hitting Yulia's head.
"Didn't you say you couldn't get up!" "Oh, I never said that - only that it would be dangerous to step on the stairs. "Are you saying I'm just a child?!" "I didn't say that—hehehehehe" -- even if I didn't really hear it, Yulia could roughly understand what the two people upstairs were doing just by imagining it.
Obviously such a serious action...... But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the two men are looking for the traces of arsonists.
Yulia sighed.
The house was burned down to the ground, and even personal belongings were not spared. In the case of an ordinary person, it must have caused unbearable grief - but the man teased Villian as if he had nothing to do with himself.
Anyway, it's really super psychological quality.
After waiting for them downstairs for more than ten minutes, the two came down from the second floor one after another. The head of the school was dirty, and his shirt was stained with large stains. However, to Yuria's surprise, the two of them changed their relaxed atmosphere just now, but each frowned, as if they were pondering something. In the meantime, no one spoke.
"Excuse me...... Did you find anything?"
This is obviously not a question of "whether there is", but a question of "what exactly". If Verian was fine, then Naia, who had a relaxed face just now, now showed this solemn expression - obviously, on the second floor, they found something. Or rather, what happened.
Disturbed by his question, Verian, who came back to her senses, looked a little helpless with a smile on her face:
"Yes, we did find out - and it was obvious. That's a provocation to us, but maybe you don't know about this organization. ”
"Organization?"
Odd...... How could this kind of ...... happen in this closed school park where entry and exit are strictly restricted
"You don't believe the way you look, do you......? Actually, we can't believe it. Well, I'll show you directly, you squat down a little. ”
“...... Is that so?"
Yulia crouched down slightly, making a posture similar to a horse's step.
But Villian, who was standing in front of him, frowned:
"Squat a little more. ”
I don't know what she wants to do, but it's probably not a harmful action for herself. Yulia chooses to trust her and lowers her body even further.
"I—Didn't you understand when I told you to crouch down?!
Inexplicably scolded.
Helplessly, out of curiosity itching in his heart, he squatted down completely.
Verian walked past him and stuck up from behind.
A cinder-like smell welled up in his nostrils, and though he tried to describe it as a girl's body odor, it was...... Taste that doesn't make people feel good.
"Relax...... I'm not going to hurt you...... A maximum of a processing fee will be charged. ”
She breathed hot and humid breath around Yuria's neck.
Yulia hasn't reacted yet-
"Ahh ”
As if pricked by a small needle, I was sucked by this person again.
He was just about to get rid of it, but the sweet and bloody smell that suddenly poured into his lips, the tip of his tongue, and his throat attracted his attention.
Wrong...... How could it be......
That's not how he felt.
He, or she, was thirsty, but he was careful with the large blood bank in front of him.
I am...... School Principal?
Just as he exhaled, the scenery in front of him suddenly burst out like foam.
"Huh......?"
Petite Verian was looking up in amazement at the giant coat of arms on the ceiling in front of her.
It was an ordinary cubicle, and her only purpose in coming in was just to stop by.
But I didn't expect to make an unexpected discovery here.
"Cross...... Sisters?"
The blackened ceiling is marked with a huge white cross.
In the upper part of the cross, there is a detailed, even creepy, white skull.
As if cursed, Verian felt the giant white skull grinning at her. She was tiny, not even as big as that skull.
"Nai...... Naia!!"
She exclaimed.
"Naia!!, come and see-!"
――――
"Whew. ”
As far as the conclusion is concerned,I just seem to have retraced a small memory of the school principal.。
It was really a very small one—just for the sake of a few seconds at most, and it even made Yulia wonder if it was really necessary to donate blood to Villian.
But she did get it right...... Yulia also confessed. There was no discomfort or dizziness when she stood up, and it seemed that Verian was still very measured.
"What is the Sisters of the Cross? Sounds a lot like the organization of the Catholic Church. You're vampires, that's not with that organization—"
"Slow down, Yulia, you're reacting too fast, and it's going to be hard for the commentators. ”
Verian, who seemed refreshed after sucking blood, happily explained to him. Without asking Naia's opinion, she spread her wings and flew to the top of the pile of papers and sat down, stilting her legs.
"Actually, that's what you think...... However, this organization has never been officially recognized by the Western Catholic Church. We don't know the details, but rumor has it that almost all of the members of this group are nuns who have been expelled from the church. ”
"Eviction?"
"Sounds dangerous, right? In fact, the development of the Church is far faster than ordinary people think, and they now have a large number of girls with magical talents, and there is hardly any country in force that is their opponent. However, due to international pressure, they are not going to give a clean-up order to our dark race at this time. ”
Magical Talent - When she heard the word, Yulia thought, it's time to come.
In his cognition, after being exposed to this fantasy-style setting, no matter which protagonist of the story will begin to hone and become stronger step by step, and gather connections and prestige. There will be waves of enemies, and the protagonist will beat them back to their hometown or their heavenly home in waves like a machine-gun pea shooter. ――Or maybe one day, the protagonist will lead his own partners, and maybe he will really go to the sea to catch dragons and turtles.
However, Yulia is just an ordinary person, a noble young master who has run away from home, and perhaps the name of the butler. Not only is he peace-loving by nature, but he wants to do everything possible to avoid fighting if he can.
No matter how dangerous this strange nun could be, to be honest, he simply didn't want to be drawn into this supernatural strife.
"On the contrary, as a terrorist organization, this 'Sisters of the Cross' is still very famous. They are said to be a group of radical believers bent on driving other xenos out of this world - but of course, it is possible that they simply love to kill. ”
"Girls?"
"Haven't you heard that women are the most terrible creatures on earth? At least as far as humans are concerned, only women are the ones who can master magic. And to keep it pure, it's troublesome—"
Please don't make such comments casually. ”
"Well, that's it, anyway. We don't really know much, at most we've only heard about this organization...... But now, I think I'm in trouble......"
Naia shrugged on the side.
"Auntie, your fat time is exposed--it's purple-"
"Huh?!Don't talk nonsense! I obviously ...... Ahem. Also, it's rare for me to put on such a deep expression! You're—"
"Auntie's words will only make people feel a stomachache. ”
"You're ......!"
"Me?"
The tall girl standing on the ground, and the loli girl sitting on the high pile of documents, stared at each other as if they were about to shoot sparks.
Yuria, however, had a vague feeling that Naia seemed to have jumped out to disrupt the conversation in order to ease the tension in front of her.
"Hoo ......"
In the future, I will be forced to mix more and more fantasy elements.
The downpour that seemed to be about to shatter the entire dilapidated villa sounded louder and louder.
