16. Detachment Sister Maria

Repentance is reserved for the guilty and weak-hearted! As long as the will is firm, there is no need for repentance at all. This......

You couldn't know better!

In the blink of an eye, while the nun who called herself Maria was still posing in a pompous pose, the witch hunter had already come behind the nun against the wall.

An unsuspecting back should be more appropriate even if you haven't had time to react at all. It's just that why does such a guy who seems to be slower than the average magician be able to give others a very obvious sense of danger? Or ...... This guy has already noticed it, and is just waiting for this moment!?

[Hmmm]

The dazzling golden light swung down from the slash under the manipulation of the nun who turned around, and the stone bricks that had been smashed turned into powder and scattered in the air. There was no time to rejoice in the hesitation just now, and the hunter immediately chose to hide from a distance.

If, just if, just a little bit of recklessness, then it wasn't the bricks on the ground that turned into powder. However, this is not the time to breathe a sigh of relief......

"Don't worry!" the nun shouted at the hunter as she brandished her dangerous weapon like a layman, "this holy sword is only in penance mode now!

“......”

The weapon that suddenly appeared, no matter how you look at it, is the result of instant magic without chanting a story, and this nun has not even opened the book just now. Just the ability to "instantaneously" magic anytime and anywhere is enough to reach the threshold of the "witch", this guy, something is wrong!

"Hey, don't Flee!"

The nun, who was so anxious that she almost fell, finally opened her book, and after fumbling in her pocket, pulled out a black object and threw it into the distance.

It looks like a shoddy doll, but ...... Is that really the case?

【Michael】

Spellbooks, chanting, and unadorable dolls thrown out. When all of this came together, it also made the hunter who had given up his original plan and began to plan to escape think of the only possibility.

The magic that needs to be followed and the rules of the story is about to be opened!?

"Archangel, Michael!"

The masked guy brandished the sword in his hand the moment he appeared, adding a rare scar to the hunter's arm.

The face covered by the mask, the blonde hair fluttering in the air, and the body of a man and a woman...... Is this the angel that the nuns believe in!?

"Nightingale!"

【Squeak!】

The cacophony of the nightingale sounded, but even though the gray little creature had exhausted the strength in his chest, the winged angel that shone brighter than the moon still existed completely.

The nightingale's singing can't destroy the magic, and there is only one possibility left. It's just that...... Aren't the nuns all magicians who manipulate healing magic, why are these nuns completely different? and...... Is the gap between the powers to the point where even the "magic" that destroys magic fails?

"Run, run away, run away in repent!"

Crazy, definitely a madman. While listening to the nun's overly pompous speech, the hunter calculates the reasonable route in the race against time to escape.

Although it may be possible to use other magic to fight the birdman behind him who "snapped" and flapped his wings, but that kind of fruitless battle will only expose his own existence. The point of divergence is coming, and it is already ...... There's no time to hesitate anymore!

......

At this time, Alice's home.

Irina, who was supposed to sleep like everyone else, was sitting in a stiff and cold chair that was a little excessive, not that she didn't want to sleep during this peaceful time, but everything here made her a little uncomfortable.

When you are in the Western-style house, you can "transform" your room at will, but if it's Alice's "home", you can't come at will. The bed was a little uncomfortable, and the room was too big and too spacious, and even if the curtains were closed, the moonlight could still faintly pour in, so it was not dark at all.

In such an environment, I really can't sleep well.

“......”

After staring out the window for a while, Irina silently turned her body to the table, intending to spend the night studying to pass the time that she might always be awake after that. The candlestick beside the table flickered in flames, and after a moment it fell into a steady burn. If the wind doesn't blow in, the candlelight will always remain like this, although it is a little dim, but it is the light that calms Irina the most.

It's several times better than the magic-driven light that illuminates everything.

The overly worn book was quietly waiting for its owner to turn it, it had no cover, and naturally there were no bookmarks, not only that, but even every page of the book was more or less covered with unknown stains. Rash cleaning and wiping would only damage the already fragile paper, so Irina let go of the existence of this "stain" with a little memory.

The first two volumes of "Aesop's Fables", as well as part of the third volume, have been mastered long before coming to Alice's mansion, and aside from some meaningless stories, I should have completed the most basic preparations before becoming a "witch". The problem is that after coming to the mansion, he accompanies the noisy Alice to do practice and takes in Luna, who arrives suddenly...... These trivial things have appeared one after another, so that I have not made any decent progress until now.

This can only be blamed on one's own laziness, so ...... That's not going to work. You have to get to grips with all the stories as soon as possible, otherwise......

The candlelight flickered suddenly, and Irina's fingers paused as she turned the pages. It's not because of the excitement just now that the candlelight flickered, but because of the outside world. Has anyone returned? But in this mansion with only a few people, everyone should have slept a long time ago. Unless, a few times ago, someone sneaked out of Alice's house with a different kind of caution than in the daytime, taking advantage of the opportunity when everyone was asleep.

Although I don't know why there was no sound at all when I left, and when I came back, there was too much movement, but ......

Sure enough, is that so? The answer to a previous question doesn't need to be solved, it already comes into view. O kind and respectable lady Rosie, this time...... I'm really sorry.
