There Is No Spring in the Stolen Field

92. saintess

saintess.

An indispensable being in the history of the endless war between humans and demons.

Just like the hero who is born every 1000 years, the saintess is also born once every 1000 years.

According to tradition, a nun who is designated as a saint will no longer see the light of day.

Instead, it was an authority bestowed only on the saintess. open up the new

Basically, God’s eyes are humans and demons. It is said to have the ability to accurately distinguish between good and evil.

However, the power of God’s eye simply did not end there.

As with inherent magic, it is said that the unique ability of the divine eyes of successive saints was different each time.

The ability of the divine eye of the past saint is the ability to glimpse fragments of the near future.

…there is nothing else to say except that it is a fraudulent ability.

In fact, I was the one who learned from the records of the demons, so I didn’t know if the records about the saintess were accurate.

Rather, it would have been more accurate to hear from the people at the academy.

But what was certain was that these rings did not hide our identities.

It seemed that the first-class class, which was originally supposed to go outside and practice, was postponed due to the saintess’ visit schedule.

Returning to the dormitory, Luna and I felt that our headaches were hurting.

“…What should I do?”

I asked Luna.

“hmm…”

Luna too, as if she couldn’t remember the number of sharp points, was only tapping the messy table.

“Shall we run away?”

Even after thinking about it for quite a long time, it was us who came to mind only in this one-dimensional way.

“first. I think the most important thing is not to know how the saintess’ power of God’s eyes comprehends us.”

How far can she detect demons?

For example, if you approach more than a certain distance, you notice it right away.

It was said that under these conditions, nothing would happen if we kept our distance.

On the other hand, the perceptible distance can cover the entire academy.

If so, we were in big trouble now.

It would be too late if he hadn’t made plans until after she arrived.

First of all, it was clear that Luna would be more dangerous than me if her true identity was revealed.

The first is that Seria still doesn’t know her identity.

The second was that her status was that of a princess of the Demon Realm.

“…Luna. How about you leave the academy for a while?”

i asked her

“What are you going to do?”

In fact, it made sense for both of us to get out of here for safety.

“I will stay.”

Luna frowned.

“What are you talking about. Dog star. You and I are the same demons now. There’s no guarantee that you won’t get caught.”

Her answer was reasonable, but it was also true that we needed information from the saintess.

It was clear that if she joined the hero’s party after graduating from the academy or before graduating from the academy, it would definitely be a nuisance.

In particular, information about the unique ability of the god’s eye of this era was needed.

“That’s right. I have Seria.”

This was the core insurance that I thought would be ok if I stayed.

By any chance, even if the saintess immediately saw through my existence, I had the world’s strongest shield called Seria.

The background of being Seria’s family. I thought that if Seria was given a chance to explain the process of becoming a demon to the saintess, her life could be saved.

what. I thought that if I was unlucky, I might be taken somewhere, but in that case, I also had a trump card.

my own magic.

I was certain that if I cast a unique magic on Seria’s feelings for me, she would definitely be on my side.

“…is that okay? Dog star?”

Even though I explained all my plans to Luna, she seemed uneasy.

“…someone has to get information about the saintess. Luna.”

“If it’s a saint, just wipe it out by force…!”

“Think of the saints from past warrior parties.”

Luna bit her lip.

She probably remembered too. About the saintess looking down on the future.

“Promise me one thing.”

After a moment of hesitation, she opened her mouth.

“…don’t die. If you get caught, you can get them out at any cost. But if you die…”

I could understand what he was going to say after that without having to say anything.

“…never die. I can’t die without living my life properly yet.”

It was true. There hasn’t been a single day I haven’t felt comfortable since I was a boy.

He had no intention of ending his life after being captured by the saintess.

“…okay. I will do as you say.”

“Is there any way to go back?”

Luna nodded.

“Yan left a means of contact.”

no. However, I was a bit disappointed that Master and Yan didn’t give me the financial part or the means to contact me.

Of course, it was an undeniable fact that Luna was more trustworthy than me, but I want to contact her if I am in a hurry…

“okay. Two days is enough to move to the Pandemonium without problems, right?”

“huh. No problem going back.”

“good. then let’s do that Just leave me a way to contact you and go.”

I was the one who had to let them know when it was time to return.

I couldn’t do anything but suck my fingers and wait for Luna.

After finishing the story, Luna left the room saying she would come after talking with the homeroom teacher.

good. Then, shall we go to Seria?

“in short. Your ring cannot fool the eyes of a saintess. Are you talking about that? Yuwol.”

I nodded.

“Do you know what the saintess’ perception range is?”

I wasn’t expecting much, but I was the one who asked just in case.

“hmm…”

Seria stroked her chin as if pondering something.

“I have seen the saintess twice so far.”

Well, since he was a hero, it wasn’t strange at all even if he contacted him more than once.

The hero and the saintess were destined to act as one party anyway.

“The first was the day I first arrived in the capital and had an audience with His Majesty the Emperor. The saintess was also there.”

Seria told me that the first meeting with her was to see if he was given the qualifications of a true hero.

“second is?”

“The second was right before I entered the academy. The conversation we had at the time was…”

At the second meeting between Seria and the saintess, she said that trials would come to her.

Seria didn’t take it seriously at the time, but as time passed, she told me that she realized more and more that the saintess was right.

Of course, I was not very happy because I thought I was part of that ordeal.

If that’s the case… I guess the saintess’ ability this time is also something related to foreknowledge.

It was not without possibility, but it was clear that it was a troublesome ability.

Seria and Luna’s plan could have been discovered too easily.

But it was too early to jump to conclusions.

The saying that trials come during the process of proving a hero was something even a passing homeroom teacher or principal could say.

Even if Leon, passing by, said that, it was not without credibility.

It was me who decided to observe the situation a little longer.

“So, Seria, are you saying that you don’t know exactly what the saintess’ abilities are?”

“huh. I don’t know the details. But that’s it, could you please let me know if I ask you personally?”

Certainly, there was no need for the saintess to hide her abilities from Seria.

Seria grabbed my hands as if something suddenly came to mind.

“okay! Yuwol! Do you think that will work?”

“What… what happens?”

“Let’s ask the saintess!”

“…do you want me to ask you a favor?”

I couldn’t understand at all what she was talking about.

“Perhaps she can heal you from becoming a demon?”

It was an unimaginable development for me, who was worried about how to get information about the saintess by avoiding it.

“…No matter how saintly she is, wouldn’t it be impossible to turn demons into humans?”

“But Yu-Wol-ah. What a saintess! The saints of the past are full of people who performed unbelievable miracles!”

It was true.

But still, it couldn’t have been like this.

And if it’s really possible, I…

What choice should I make?

“hahahaha… Yeah… That sounds like a really good thing…”

Seria already assumed the situation when I returned as a human and started planning.

“Okay. First of all, you, Yu-Wol, will be fixed as our party’s wizard.”

“…Seria. You don’t even know if it’s possible yet.”

“Let’s strike down and destroy that Amelia who turned you into a demon! Yuwol-ah! How wonderful!”

I couldn’t help laughing at her words.

The person who made it into a demon was also Luna, and at the current level, we were at a level where we couldn’t even touch Master’s collar.

“Anyway. Seria. When the saintess visits the academy. You must help me, okay?”

Seria nodded vigorously.

“Yes! Of course! Even if you get caught being a demon, I’ll protect you no matter what. Yuwol-ah!”

good. I wanted to hear that.

After accepting her promise, I spent two days feeling impatient.

Luna seemed to have safely returned to the demon realm, and the morning of the day the saintess finally arrived here was bright.

All the academy students gathered in the huge auditorium during the entrance ceremony.

The principal, who had risen to the church, announced the arrival of the saintess in a solemn voice.

“The saintess of this generation. It’s Lian-sama!”

yet. A saintess with blue hair appeared from the back of the church.
