141 Invitations and Demons [5]





 With the sound of an explosion came a loud scream, followed shortly by the sound of many footsteps.

(Hey, what the hell is going on at ......?

 (What the hell is going on? !?) An explosion in the palace of Leengard, the palace of the Heavenly Son, is definitely a terrible emergency.

(Could it be the ...... Kuro Organization?

 I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea.
 It's a very good possibility.

(No, calm down. .......) It's true that I'm concerned about what's going on outside, but ....... I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

 I looked at Tenshi-sama, who was hunched over.

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
 The tough demeanor she had just displayed has completely disappeared.

 He seems to be the type of person who can't be beaten.

(Now, what to do? ......)

 (Now what to do? ) If he's this scared of me, it's going to be difficult to even talk to him properly.

(Let's start with that. ......)

 For starters, it would be a good idea to clear up this misunderstanding of darkness.

 Deciding that, I slowly drew my sword so as not to provoke Tenshi-sama, and made a thin cut on my palm.

 There was a slight pain, and a thin layer of blood appeared from the cut.

"What are you doing ......? 

 I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I've seen it before.

"Tenshi-sama, please watch carefully, okay?

 I concentrated the darkness on my right index finger and slowly slid it into the wound on my left hand.
 Then the healing effect of the darkness kicked in and the cut on my left hand healed instantly.

"Oh, yeah. ....... I'm not sure what to make of this. I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm sure you're right.

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.
 In fact, I didn't, but I lied a little to calm Tenshi-sama down. It is generally believed that the soul guise of the recovery system is less dangerous, so I borrowed its reputation.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to treat Tenshi-sama's wounds as well, ......?

 When I said this - she held out her scarred right hand in front of her, looking fearful.

 Apparently, she trusted me a little.

"Now, if you'll excuse me.

 After a single word of refusal, I extended my darkness to her right hand.

 At the moment of contact between the two.

".......

 Tenshi-sama closed her eyes for a moment.

 Then she slowly opened her eyes and there was her former beautiful hand.

"...... warm darkness. It's very different from the (・・・・) one I saw earlier. ......

 Perhaps this was in comparison to his darkness.

"I'm sorry. That one is more of a ...... 'troubling darkness'.

 When I said that jokingly.

"Hmm, that's ...... your ability, isn't it?

 Tenshi-sama chuckled.

(Okay, okay, you're doing great.)

 (Good, good, good.) Her breathing seems to have calmed down, and she seems to be slowly regaining her composure.

I'm still struggling to control it. ....... I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm sure you've heard the rumors about the failed swordsman ....... ....... As I recall, he was too untalented to be accepted into any of the schools. ......?

That's a painful story to hear. ......

 To be honest, I'd rather you didn't talk about it too much. .......

(Well, I guess it's about time.)

 The Tenshi-sama's fear of the darkness should be somewhat removed.
 If we wait too long, the guards from outside will come inside. ...... We should get down to business.

By the way, Tenshi-sama, about what happened earlier, ....... I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

 And when I made my modest suggestion.

When I said my modest proposal, he said, "Yu, you forgive me ......? After all the horrible things you've done to me, ......?

 She muttered with a puzzled look on her face.

"Yes, that's fine with me.

 What Tenshi-sama was trying to do was actually quite gruesome.

 But in the end, her plan failed.
 No harm was done, and I don't intend to say anything more about it.

I'm not going to say anything more about it. "Okay, so you're just going to ...... let bygones be bygones, right? You're not going to do ...... anything scary to me anymore, are you?

"Yes, of course.

 I said softly.

"Good. ......

 Tenshi-sama let out an obvious sigh of relief.

In return, please let bygones be bygones about my counterattack on your guards, okay?

"Fine. I have no choice but to forgive you.

 When Tenshi-sama decided that I wasn't a dangerous man, she slowly stood up and said in an arrogant manner.

"Haha, thank you.

 I bowed and patted my chest, relieved.

(Thank goodness. ......)



 This was the biggest crisis of my life. .......

 To be honest, I'm not a very good talker.
 If anything, I'm a bit of a bad talker.

(It's really a miracle that we got our story straight. ......)

 After successfully solving the problem with Tenshi-sama, the door that was sealed by darkness was cut in two by a slash.

"Tenshi-sama, are you alright?

 At the same time, three swordsmen with soul armor in their hands rushed in, breathing in unison.

"What?

"Roddy, Ganso, Evans, Tris!

"d*mn ......, did you kill them?

 When they saw the four guards lying in a pool of blood, they gave me a terrible look.

 Then.

"Don't do it. You're no match for them even if you stand on your head. Besides, we've already solved the problem.

 With that, Tenshi-sama calmed down the three upset guards.
 It looks like she's going to keep her word.

But what is going on here?

 She posed the question.

I'm sure you're aware of that. ...... In fact, we have received a message from the Holy Roneria Empire! You can see the image on the LCD on the first floor, so please come here!

 One of the guards said in a panicked tone.

A message from the Holy Roneria Empire: ....... As far as I'm concerned, that's not very good. ......

 I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea.

"Master Allen, may I come with you?

Yes, of course!

 Thus, I went with Tenshi-sama to the first floor of Leengard Palace.
