The woman who asked to be called a saint had an unusual appearance.
The hair that hung down to her hips was pure white, and her eyes were also white. Even her pupils were white, making it difficult to see where she was looking.
‘It looks interesting.’
It had such a unique appearance that I kept catching my eye, but I thought it would be rude to keep looking at it, so I sat down on the soft chair across from her as she instructed.
As if it had been prepared in advance, there was a cradle next to the chair where Axion could be laid down.
hmm. So, should I say hello first?
“Uh, hello.”
The saintess smiled at my awkward greeting.
“yes. nice to meet you. Were you surprised by the sudden intimate call? “Maybe it was because I heard stories about her so often that I felt close to her without even realizing it.”
hmm.
It’s a story about me.
Remembering the bad reviews about this body, I raised the corners of my mouth slightly awkwardly.
haha. I’m sure you’ve heard some very exciting news.
“Ah, I see.”
“yes. “Didn’t Elston tell you?”
“yes?”
Why does Elston’s name suddenly appear here?
When I tilted my head with my eyes wide open, the saint smiled softly.
“Oh dear. “I guess Elston didn’t mention anything about me.”
“uh… … . “Do you know Elston?”
The saintess nodded her head slightly and answered.
“He is a close friend whom I am grateful for, who gives me news about the world when I cannot go outside. “I also know that you will be teaching the little lady of the Duke of Siaster.”
With that lowly magic tower lord… … Is this mysterious saint your friend?
It’s a little, no, quite an unbelievable fact.
I nodded for now.
“aha. yes. “You were a friend.”
“I was looking forward to meeting Elston because it was my first time seeing him embarrassed by someone. “I’m glad to see you like this.”
“haha… … .”
I don’t know what Elston was saying about me, but I quickly guessed that it wasn’t going to be very good.
Hmm. Then, when Elston went and told her not to tell about the Demon Dragon’s Dragon Heart, he must have told her not to tell the saint.
Although they were close friends, they didn’t seem to share everything.
“By the way, who is this child who came with me today? Lady Evanroar has never been married, so she must not be her son… … .”
“ah.”
The adoption of Axion had not yet been officially announced, so I spoke about it cautiously.
“I am a child who carries on the bloodline of Viscount Evan Loire.”
“Oh, I see.”
I intentionally spoke vaguely without clearly saying whether or not it was my child.
The saint, who must have been quite perceptive, quickly understood what I meant.
“I heard that Viscount Evan Loir has blond hair and blue eyes. “Then this child will also have pretty colors.”
huh?
Me and Axion are right in front of me.
Talking about this… … .
“ah. Because I can’t see. “Don’t feel uncomfortable.”
The saint smiled easily and waved her hand slightly.
Now that I think about it, the saintess’s body direction has subtly changed. As if I were right in front of him.
I didn’t know because the entire eye looked white.
‘Is that why even the pupils are white?’
I looked back quickly to see if there was anything I did that might have felt rude.
The saint inadvertently parted her lips.
“I shouldn’t take up too much time like this, so let’s get started, shall we?”
“Oh, yes.”
The saint smiled gently and held out her hand.
“Excuse me, could you please put your forehead this way? “From now on, I will try to remove the remaining demonic energy from my body.”
As the saint instructed, I slowly placed my forehead against her hand. Her hands were colder than I thought.
“The child may be startled, so please cover the child’s eyes.”
I obediently followed what the saint told me to do.
Axion, who was playing with his feet, suddenly turned his head as his vision became obscured.
“Wow?”
“Shh, let’s wait a moment.”
After I blindfolded Axion, the saintess opened her lips as if to say something.
“?”
But I couldn’t hear that sound.
It certainly seemed like he had said something.
At the same time, a very bright light spread out from her hand. The light wasn’t just enough to encroach on the room, it was so bright that I thought my eyes were going blind.
“Okay, that’s it.”
As soon as the saint finished speaking, the light disappeared in an instant, as if it had never happened before.
“Dazar said there would be demonic energy buried there. There’s nothing on it at all? “I guess he came just in case.”
“Is that so?”
I watched monsters explode in front of my eyes all day long. You don’t have anything on your body?
‘Is this also due to this body’s unique constitution?’
I’m looking down at my body for no reason. Soon the saint held out her hand again.
“Could you please touch the child’s forehead now?”
I picked up Axion with a slightly nervous expression. There might be a problem with Dragon Heart, right? A saintess notices the dragon heart.
Contrary to my worries, the saint’s work(?) was completed without incident.
“It seems like you came because of the child. The child seems to have a bit of magical energy. Fortunately, it’s all over.”
“Oh, thank you.”
There was demonic energy in Axion. And he was so glad he got rid of it.
I bowed my head to the saint, thinking that I had made a good decision to bring Axion. When he glanced at Axion, his face was peaceful.
It didn’t seem like the Demon Dragon’s Dragon Heart was discovered or any strange side effects occurred.
I felt relieved.
“It’s a pity that I have to send it off like this. Could you come with Elston next time? “Then I’d like to at least treat you to a cup of tea.”
The saintess had a very sad look on her face.
Seeing her with her hands clasped together and a desperate expression on her face, I couldn’t just say no.
“I’ll come back when I have time.”
It seemed like this body was allergic to this temple, but when I got there, I didn’t really feel scared.
‘I thought the temple was a scary place. I guess that’s not it either.’
The saintess nodded with a happy face at my words.
“thank you. Lady Evanroir. Oh, if you don’t mind… … “Can I call you by your name?”
name?
Feeling reassured that nothing bad had happened, I tried to get up leisurely but stopped.
“Joe, would that be a little rude?”
The saint shrugged her shoulders and lowered her head.
Hey, hey. If you show that timid side, this sister’s heart will weaken.
“are you okay. “Call me by my name.”
“really? Thank you, Celia!”
The saintess smiled brightly.
Seeing her smile like that, I got the feeling that the saint was still young. I didn’t know it because of her unusual appearance and mysterious aura, but she was still a girl.
“Then be sure to come next time, by all means!”
“yes. all right.”
After stamping my thumb with the saint and making an appointment, I left the room.
“Whew. “Then shall we wait outside for a while?”
Dazar said he would come back after doing more work at the temple.
We had promised in advance to meet outside the temple.
I held Axion in my arms and walked away, humming a song.
* * *
I heard the sound of the door closing.
The saintess’s face, which had been smiling a moment ago, gradually became expressionless.
“Hmm. I was wondering what kind of person Dazar was when he let him into my residence. “It’s not as big a deal as I thought.”
The pure saint that Celia thought was a girl was nowhere to be found.
The saintess, whose face suddenly looked as bored as a woman who had gone through all the hardships of childbirth, leaned back in her chair as if she were annoyed.
“It’s just normal.”
The saintess rested her chin and shook her legs.
“Like Elston said, that baby is definitely not of Dazar blood. “I deliberately had Elston send the baby here, just in case.”
In fact, while the saint blessed Axion, she also cast another spell. It was to confirm whether he was of Dazar’s bloodline, that is, whether he was a transcendental person.
It seems that Dazar cares for the child and has put up various protective barriers. It was not the bloodline of a transcendental person.
As the saint waved her hand, the paper and pen lying on the desk in the distance began to move.
It was a magic item that Elston made in the past for her who was blind.
The pen began to write letters as she wanted.
It was a letter addressed to Elston.
“Still, something feels uncomfortable. No matter how much it was for food development, Dazar brought two people next to him. Plus, the barrier for protection is strange.”
Since the birth of a new transcendent had already been revealed, it was a natural step for Vanilla to be adopted as Dazar’s daughter.
It was also strange that a woman and child whom he had no connection with were brought into his home around the same time.
The saintess tilted her head with an expressionless face.
“It’s not like there was any conflict.”
Is that man-hating Dazar? That can’t be possible.
The saintess shook her head and flicked her hand. The pen she had been writing down with a jerk suddenly lost its power and her letter folded on its own.
If you leave it like this, the priest will send it to Elston.
“There is something. “Something.”
The saintess muttered softly.
