040. Stone of Truth (2)
“Cecilia.”
“Why?”
“Cecilia’s heartbeat is so loud that I’m afraid they’ll find out.”
“Stupid Arwen! The sound is not from me, but from Arwen!”
“… ….”
Here are two girls who cling to the walls like mice and move through the hallways of a dark mansion.
The incident started with a rare relic, the Stone of Truth, that was brought into the mansion yesterday disguised as a gift. The power of the artifact, which they experienced with their own bodies and by seeing it, led the two girls to plan this attack.
Of course, Veris’s sleeping habits played a role behind the plan. Once she fell asleep, she was Berris, who was so unknown that someone would carry her on her back. Besides, the Stone of Truth was also placed in a gift box and was sleeping in the warehouse of the mansion…….
It was literally entrusting grains of rice to the sparrow.
“You must be asleep by now, right?”
“…… Maybe. But I am not sure.”
Cecilia pouted her lips at Arwen’s voice, which did not feel the slightest bit of trust.
From noble mtl dot com
In fact, it was Cecilia who first came up with this plan. When I came to the subject who confidently expressed my intention to participate in such a plan, it felt like it was of no help whatsoever.
What…… Although she had Arwen’s help in getting the Truth Stone out.
“Do you want to go in?”
Gulp.
At Cecilia’s low voice, Arwen swallowed her dry saliva.
Immediately in front of the two of them, the door to the main room of the mansion, where Veris lives, was visible. But Arwen and Cecilia never let their guard down.
Who is Berris?
A person whose knowledge of mana is superior to that of the archmage of the Mage Tower, and his knowledge of swordsmanship is superior to that of the famous sword master of the kingdom.
Of course, Veris, who looks defenseless after going to bed, could have reacted completely differently if it was an attack again.
So Arwen and Cecilia can’t help but be so nervous.
“What about things?”
“I keep it well.”
Cecilia nodded her head at Little Arwen’s answer. She looked away and saw that Arwen had placed the Stone of Truth in her little box.
The raid they planned was simple. Secretly, sneak into Veris’s room without anyone knowing. And put the Stone of Truth in Verice’s hand.
And whisper in his ear. What do you think of Arwen and Cecilia?
It was a very foolish plan. But to the two blind girls, none of that mattered.
“…… Let’s go.”
The two of them approached the door stealthily on tiptoe, exchanged glances for a while, and soon opened the door to the room.
The door was unlocked, befitting Verice, whose power was so strong. In addition, the regular, even breathing sound proved that Veris had gone on a trip to the land of dreams.
Slowly.
It was the moment when the efforts of the two girls, who had already oiled the hinges to the point of sweating during the day, shined.
The door to the master bedroom opens smoothly, as if the door didn’t exist in the first place. Even so, the string of tension cannot be let go. The two girls crept toward the bed with the utmost tension.
Dalgrak.
“…… !”
“!”
In the end, Arwen took the job.
It wasn’t something that would cause a big problem. It was just that the stone in the box that was affected by her movement rolled once inside.
They stopped breathing in an instant. Slowly turning her head to look at Veris, I saw that she was still breathing evenly, fortunately.
It is Arwen and Cecilia who have been surprised until just now. However, bashish smiles appeared on the faces of the two girls who soon saw the calm face of Veris. Looking at a man is colorless, and a warm smile blooms on his face.
But the two did not forget the progress of the work. A peaceful night like now is more suitable for work. There was no more time to procrastinate.
A stone with a strange atmosphere was taken out of the box that had already been opened. Arwen, who knew the power of this little stone through her words that Cecilia had told her, had white housework gloves on her hands.
Sure.
Secretly like a cat going out hunting, swiftly like a wild beast catching its prey.
Soon after, the stone that left Arwen’s hand, the stone of her truth, went up into Veris’ grasp, which had been opened thanks to her falling asleep.
“… ….”
Exchanging glances. This foolish plan was now coming to an end. The problem, of course, is that I have to say something really embarrassing in his ears.
Shock.
It was Arwen who took action first.
Throwing off her gloves, she was surprised and burrowed into Verice’s arms with her skillful movements as well as ours!
“…… !”
Witnessing the scene with both eyes open, Cecilia shuddered. To be honest, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened. I don’t know when the hell he did that without his knowledge.
Mugwort.
Cecilia, too, hurriedly lay her body on her bed, not to lose to Arwen. Of course, it was a swift and stealthy move, in case Veris didn’t want to wake up.
But then the problem occurred.
A situation where all you have to do is execute the plan in a good way. However, Arwen and Cecilia had no choice but to shut their mouths at the sudden incident that exploded right away.
Whirick!
“Oops!”
“…… !”
I don’t know what kind of dream she was dreaming about, but Veris, who had fallen asleep, quickly wrapped her arms around her and held the two of them in her arms.
Cecilia must have been so moved by this moment that her two large green eyes were welling up with tears.
…… Arwen, of course, was the same. She already had a face like a surprised rabbit as if she had never experienced something like this even as a red-handed criminal.
But there was a fact that Cecilia overlooked: this wild elf was more loyal to her desires than she thought.
Sniff sniff.
“…… !”
Cecilia doubted her eyes at the actions of the one who had formed a brief alliance.
Well, the fact that Veris held two girls in her sleep is an accident. But Arwen. She’s definitely not asleep, but she’s sober right?
The five senses of a sensitive elf. Among them, the sense of smell is undoubtedly superior to that of humans.
In other words, this elf was faithfully fulfilling his desires at this moment!
Cecilia shuddered as she forgot that she had to wake Veris to her half-sleep state. This bewitching elf! You must have done it several times already.
But now, this situation of her heart pounding overshadowed, Cecilia was feeling her warmth.
In her childhood, which is not even remembered by her, she is Cecilia who came as if she was sold to the Holy Kingdom. She had been walking the path of a priest all her life, her holy woman, and someone’s warm embrace gave her a warm feeling that was indescribable in words.
‘Operation… …. Sun… ….’
Cecilia gritted her teeth at her increasingly closed eyelids.
Two o’clock in the morning.
It was too late for Cecilia, a girl with a good life. And, unfortunately, the same was true of the elf lying on the other side of her.
* * *
“…… ?”
It is early in the morning. Waking up thanks to her strangely heavy body, Veris couldn’t help but be puzzled by the absurd scenery that unfolded right there.
Arwen, Cecilia, the Stone of Truth.
Veris woke up from her slumber and held the Stone of Truth in her hand. Why on earth are things here that should have been stored quietly in the warehouse?
And again…… Why are Arwen and Cecilia sleeping here?
The answer was already out there. It seems that these two planned something in the morning. And the two assailants seemed to fall asleep from fatigue.
After thinking that far, Berry’s soon recovered her mana. In fact, Veris, a terrible mana addict, always utilizes mana in every aspect of her daily life.
In the past, when living on Earth, mana similar to the ‘sleep wave’ that they were familiar with was spread out in the room.
“Umm… ….”
It is Cecilia who thinks that Veris’ arm is a doll sleeping in her arms. She, who was quite strong for her slender frame, held her Verice’s arm tightly and wouldn’t let go.
Then what about Arwen?
Arwen had her arms wrapped around Aeberis’ body. She hardly ever bleeds, but I’m watching her breathe evenly, so I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t funny.
“Really.”
So Veris couldn’t move her body right now. Compared to sleeping alone, she was slightly uncomfortable with her body, but…… It wasn’t that she couldn’t stand it.
In the eyes of Veris who was thinking that, a small stone she had been holding in her hand came into her.
Judging from Cecilia’s case yesterday, the power this little guy possessed was truly amazing. How funny she was when the normally benevolent Saint Cecilia muttered such a thing.
“Hmm.”
Soon after a prank struck Veris, she quietly picked it up and put it in Arwen’s hand.
Maybe this is what the two of you were trying to do at dawn? Berrys, who thought she wanted to, cleared her throat and muttered softly.
“Arwen.”
“…… To.”
Arwen answered with a muffled voice, as if she hadn’t woken up. Seeing that, Veris couldn’t help but struggle to contain the burst of laughter.
I never thought it would react to sleep. Isn’t she a girl who really thinks of Veris terribly?
If that wasn’t the case, it could have been purely the effect of the power of the Stone of Truth.
There was a reason why Veris was trying to play such a prank on Arwen.
Arwen has her heart broken. She lost all her family in the past, and in the end, she was captured by human slavers and the fact that her terrible life awaited her, she closed her heart to everyone.
So I have no choice but to worry. Before she came to the academy, she was taught mana and swordsmanship by Veris, and after coming to the academy, she made new friends, and there was also an expectation that she would have improved a little.
“What do you want Arwen to do later?”
“Low power, great forest, quarrel.”
Perhaps she is Arwen who mumbles with a muffled pronunciation, probably because it is difficult to take full strength when she is asleep.
But it was also fun in its own way, so Veris continued the prank for a long time.
Then he carefully removed the Stone of Truth, once to Cecilia and then to Arwen. It was around the time the sun was up in the sky that the guests came amidst the repeated pranks.
