“Ugh…”
As the black smoke faded and my vision gradually returned to normal, my vision was filled with a translucent green light.
“Are you okay? No matter how strong you are, aren’t you too vigilant?”
In the aftermath of the magic blown by the members of the church, a strong wind blew through the narrow alleyway, and as a result, her fine blonde hair fluttered.
“Marika…!”
Muttering her name in a rather hopeful voice makes her smile more joyfully.
“As a princess, you have to have the virtues that are worthy of you, and you can prevent an attack like this.”
Perhaps it was because of the use of defense-type magic, an opaque wall emitting silver and green light surrounded us, so we were able to be safe from the attack.
“Thanks, I didn’t have a major accident thanks to you.”
After giving her a proper thank you, she nodded her head, and linked the attack with a lively voice, perhaps because she had gained confidence in her actions.
“I am a warrior blessed by the Goddess, and I must show off my power to annihilate the enemies that stand in my way, bring destruction upon my enemies!”
Then, she chants the magic she learned from Goddess Abne and summons a dreamy sphere.
“Bufflon Star!”
When the casting is finished, the sphere is blown towards the members of the church.
“Lusria, envelop us… Dark Barrier!”
However, they were not acquiesced to, and they, too, tried to block her attack with a shield.
Kwagwang! Kwagwang!
A chain of explosions causes loud and small noises to resonate in this alleyway.
If that happens, our triumph, which is nothing more than that, is on our side.
But is there any reason to keep fighting like that?
“Ugh…!!”
Seeing Aris still suffering, he couldn’t delay any longer.
We must end the fight right now.
I look at them again, and especially look closely at the culprit who made Aris this way.
Clearly, holding something in her hand and applying force to it, Aris had a seizure like this.
What is he holding right now? Concentrating on what he is holding…
“Pendant…?”
He was holding a pendant with a silver light as the main background.
Whether it has a self-illumination function or is it hiding any mysterious facts in the pendant, it seems to respond to shocks by glimmering as if there is life.
It looks a bit familiar, as if it’s familiar somewhere, and it doesn’t come to mind very well, but it’s definitely not the first design I’ve seen.
“You mean you have to somehow get it out of the enemy’s grasp for now?”
He nods his head alone at the solution that comes to mind and quickly turns his thoughts around.
Fortunately, it seems that the enemies don’t have chanting mages, so…
Even if not now, it is a tactic that has already been used once, simply sprinkling sand in front of it and obscuring the view of the enemies.
If I were an ordinary person, I would have to chant to use magic for simple crafting purposes, and it would provide room for coping before that, so the practicality would be close to zero… but I was different.
It was a method of making a surprise attack by taking advantage of the advantage of a silent spear and attacking the enemy who had become defenseless by stealing the sight of the enemy in an instant.
“You can’t see anything!”
“Isn’t it okay to shoot forward in the alley anyway?!”
We can see them, but when we hear the voices we hear, it seems that we are completely unaware.

Now…I jump off the ground and jump quickly, I don’t know the force itself, but I’m confident in speed, so I go through the fog of sand to reach them.
“Ugh?!”
A church member staring at me with a puzzled expression, whether he was surprised or surprised when I jumped out too fast
To be honest, you can just use the part called no chanting to neutralize it with a one-sided preemptive attack…
It seemed that he had to treat the pendant that is now in the hands of a heretic with respect.
Although my magic is for face-to-face combat, the lethality is generally high, so I wanted to save it as much as possible for fear that it would damage the pendant in his hand.
Regardless of what kind of object it was or for what reason they had it, it was intuitively clear that that was Aris’ fatal weakness.
If it is a characteristic of weakness, the pain transmitted at the moment of being overcharged is far higher than that of other parts.
Even now, Aris was making the most painful moan as if she had suffered a weakness, and was weeping as if she was about to lose consciousness at any moment.
So, you have to act with utmost care so that you don’t harm it.
If it is broken, its weakness will be broken… For life, breaking a weakness can be interpreted as meaning death, so it should be handled more carefully.
puck!
“Kuh huh?!”
Just like last time, he hit the common weakness of a person, the myeongchi, and the member of the church, who had Aris’ weakness in his hand, painfully exhaled all the oxygen in his lungs, and it was seen that the strength of his body loosened.
Clinker-!
As soon as I dropped the pendant from my hand on the floor, a refreshing sound resounded once…
“Huh…? Are you okay now…?”
Aris’s face softened in an instant, and the struggle in pain stopped.
It was also Aris’ weakness…
“This guy!”
The last one, staring at me with wrathful eyes, raises his hand to do something, but as long as the pendant is safe, the fight is already over.
“Firework… huh?!”
The body of the church member who had been hit by weakness and lost his mind was blown over and the magic binds the heretic.
“Remove this!!”
The last person who had become incapacitated in battle while carrying his comrades was stunned by magic with a confirmed kill, and the situation ended as all heretics were subdued.
“Harold!”
Even if they realized that the fight was over, they approached me calling my name.
“I’m glad it ended without any major damage, more than that, Aris… Are you feeling okay?”
When I was worried about her condition, I nodded in a pose showing off my muscles to alleviate my anxiety.
“Thanks to you, I think I’m fine! But… I’m sorry I caused another seizure… I almost felt dangerous for a moment because I became a burden.”
However, even that bright smile faded as if he had committed a crime for a while and then lowered his head.
To be honest, there were moments when I was careless, but thanks to Marika, I was able to overcome the crisis without much trouble.
“Thanks to Marika, nothing major happened, so there’s no need to blame yourself like that.”
He then praises her for her performance.
“Thank you so far, Marika, thanks to you, I was able to finish it without any injuries.”
“What… what?!”
I was a little embarrassed by that word, so I stopped talking, but soon showed a shy reaction and dyed my cheeks a little red.
“Rice… It’s nothing! It’s just that she has the virtues she deserves as a princess!”
Still, it was noticeable that he was shrugging his shoulders as if he was happy that he had been praised.
“I’m really glad it ended without any accidents.”
Seeing this scene, Aris smiled softly and was relieved, but there was even regret in her voice at the fact that she was almost in danger because of her.
“If it wasn’t for an unknown disease that had suddenly appeared, I would have been able to help…”
Seeing the expression of such regret, it seems that Aris and Marika did not notice.
“No, it’s not like a disease.”
I changed the mood a bit, spoke seriously, and looked down at the floor, and they looked at me with slightly puzzled eyes.
“found…”
What I picked up was the pendant the church member was holding earlier, and an object of a slightly familiar design was retrieved and displayed.
This pendant is actually…
“that…”
“what…?”
Marika shows a completely unfamiliar attitude, but Aris realizes it’s unusual and twists her eyebrows.
“Harold, it’s…!”
It’s kind of familiar to my eyes… I just realized what this pendant looks like.
“When they grabbed this pendant, Aris suddenly had a seizure. This pendant is Aris’ weakness, but it’s not the only one.”
Aris noticed something along with my words, and took out the pendant, which was hidden by clothes, from the nape of the neck and showed it to Marika and me.
“It looks just like the pendant that Harold gave me as a gift last week…!”
The shape of the pendant I gave to Aris as a gift when I was alone with Aris on the weekend was exactly the same.
“Yeah, Marika may have seen it for the first time, but last week I gave this pendant to Aris as a gift, and now they have a copy of that pendant as Aris’ weakness.”
Even Marika did not fully understand those words, but her eyes became a little more serious as she sensed that there was some unusual truth.
“What a coincidence…”
At those words, Aris whispers to us as if muttering, and falls into deep thought.
“When I first saw this pendant in the market, I thought I was particularly drawn to it… Does it have anything to do with it…?”
It comes to mind now, but at that time, Aris wanted this as if possessed…
“I don’t know why the heretics had this, but there must be a reason why the pendant could be Aris’ weakness.”
To be honest, I couldn’t anticipate the real problem by reasoning with such a plausible reason.
Why the hell did this cause Aris pain… Is there a reason why Aris is different from others?
“……..”
Arisman’s reason….
uh?
When such a thought arises, a hypothesis flashes through my head like a comet, as if pieces of a puzzle are connected.
Arisman’s reason…
In other words, Aris has a secret…
I knew this from Aris’s mouth the last time I heard it.
This is the secret of Aris’ race, she looks like a human, but in fact, it is the most rare race known in the world, a spirit…
She said she was born from Arsia, the principal of this school…
Also, Mr. Arsia was a person related to the church members.
“…?!”
“Harold…? Are you pointing out something?”
If they read my expression, they now ask me what I think.
I don’t know exactly, but when I put together the facts that can be roughly inferred…
From what I heard, Arsia-san is a person associated with the Church, and Aris, who is like her alter ego…
Also, the members of the church were holding an object that looked like a pendant, which Aris liked, strangely enough, as a weakness.
Arsia, Pendant, Church… It seemed as if they had some kind of mutual relationship with each other.
“Aris…”
“yes?”
The spirits who tilt their head at my call and wait for their duties
“Can we talk with you for a moment?”
What the hell is she hiding…?
◆◆◆
In front of the principal’s office, a group of people hiding their identities seemed to be waiting for something in a quiet hallway.
“It’s a little late… After all, is the action proposed because the gods of the royal capital have gathered?”
The denominations wearing robes and creating a gloomy atmosphere were talking to each other.
“Isn’t it possible that you’ve already lost something?”
At those words, all members of the denomination show their impatience.
“Then I’m in trouble… If we don’t have that pendant, we can’t negotiate with the principal… It’s okay for now, but if we realize we don’t have a pendant, we’ll…”
The fact that everyone is noticing creates a bad atmosphere.
“Stop, if you don’t talk any more, I’ll cut off your tongue.”
However, as soon as the man who seems to be their leader puts a threat in a calm voice, everyone becomes silent as if they had promised.
“……”
The silence that passed for a while, but nevertheless, the colleagues who had not joined yet seemed to have not appeared.
“According to the time rules we have set, let us enter now, and if you reveal negative emotions to the spirits in here, I’ll make it all go away.”
Tickle!
Simultaneously with those words, the door of the principal’s office and the members of the denomination finally enter inside in turn.
“Ugh… you guys…”
Then inside, the silver-haired woman who was waiting, sent a lively life, and was wary of them.
“Nice to meet you, principal, did you have an event that could be quite dangerous for us?”
However, the leader of the group who goes out without any hesitation and continues what he has to say
“Did you think we wouldn’t notice?”
He continues to exaggerate the negotiation and gives Arsia a cunning sentence.
“Get the gods out of the academy right now.”
Principal Arsia, she was a demigod spirit, that is, those standing in front of her were only foolish and weak compared to herself.
However…
“Ugh…”
Despite this, he was merely stating the irrationality of their request… He didn’t seem willing to refuse.
