94. saintess (3)
…is the saintess open her eyes?
This was an unheard of case.
Was it the misinformation that you would basically lose your eyesight?
However, I already knew that she could recognize that I was a demon.
I had no intention of running away like this.
“The most excellent wizard in our 1st class. He’s the one I wanted to introduce to you. Lian-nim.”
The sound of saliva going down Seria’s throat rang out loudly.
“Huh~ That’s right. Warrior.”
The saintess met mine with sparkling red eyes.
Her eyes, dyed in a darker crimson color than those of Luna or Amelia, seemed to pierce my soul.
I had goosebumps all over my body.
“…My name is Sirius. Holy Lady.”
I nodded my head.
“Hero.”
The saintess completely ignored my greeting and turned to Seria.
“I think the hero brought me here even though he knew the identity of this person. Is that correct?”
Seria nodded her head with an expression that she was coming.
“yes.”
“Huh~”
The saintess didn’t say anything for a moment before reaching out her hand toward Seria.
Then, the white light shimmered and poured toward Seria.
I knew that it was divine power.
It was because I could feel the demonic blood flowing inside me screaming.
This feeling that if I touch it right now, it will tear me apart.
She is a being with the strongest divine power in the human world. The fact that she was a saint was felt all over again.
Light filled the room, but nothing seemed to have happened to Seria.
“Seo… Holy Lady?”
Seria called her with a tone of embarrassment.
“It’s a strange thing.”
The saintess tilted her head.
“Without any mental manipulation or hallucinations, you enter the room knowing his identity. Are you insane? Warrior?”
indeed. Was it just to figure out Seria’s condition?
“Listen! Holy Lady! Here’s everything!”
A saintess with a cold face.
She was a completely different feeling from the person I saw during the day, overflowing with kindness.
“Hero.”
The saintess cut Seria off.
“yes…?”
“If the situation the hero is talking about from now on is absurd.”
I felt divine power gathering in the saintess’ hands once again.
White flames radiated from her hand and onto my arm.
“Kuaaa!”
This was not something that could be calmed down with elemental magic.
My clothes were intact, without a trace of singe, but I felt a pain in my arm that might have been better than touching the lava.
maybe. If I had been a third-class demon rather than a demon who inherited noble blood, I would have disappeared the moment I touched it.
“Yuweol!”
Surprised, Seria came towards me.
“Stop! Please stop! Holy Lady! Yu-wol is not that kind of person! Please stop!”
Seria screamed at the saintess.
The saintess who gathered the flames looked down at me breathing heavily on the floor.
“I will destroy this man without hesitation.”
Seria stood in front of me.
“I won’t let that happen.”
The saintess seemed to lose her momentum slightly at Seria’s eyes full of determination.
“To go around with demons like that. It seems like you need to go to the temple with me and worship. Warrior.”
“…I had no idea that the saintess was such a ruthless person.”
The saintess laughed at Seria.
“The hero is the one who should take the lead in subjugating them more than anyone else. What are you talking about?”
“Because they are my family.”
Seria…
It was me who was heartbroken when she called me family.
okay. They were the only family in the world. we are.
“Family…?”
The saintess repeated Seria’s words as if surprised by the unexpected answer.
“Now. Are you saying that the filthy demon is someone with the same blood as the hero?”
Of course, it’s not a real family.
“…my mother is a different person. He’s like family to me, Ryan.”
“You have to be precise. Hero. Then it’s clear that you have no reason to put mercy in your hands.”
The saintess, who confirmed that we were not siblings, seemed to have thoughts of annihilating me at any time.
“No, Lian. If that’s the reason. You’ll have to be infinitely lenient with him.”
“What do you mean, warrior?”
“…Because he’s my husband. Can that explain it?”
…huh?
This was not agreed upon in advance.
Seria’s expression was too serious to be said to be improvised.
“Hero, you’re playing too much. A warrior who has a demon as a husband. Are you insane?”
It was a pitiful story, but the saintess’ story was justified.
What kind of human would consider a hero who married a demon to be normal?
And, in fact, I didn’t even think I could.
Because the princess was waiting for me at the bottom of the demon realm.
“…So you’re saying that the people in the kingdom who killed my parents are sane?”
The saintess’ pupils wavered for a moment, then returned to their original position.
“…It was the work of the demons.”
“…does the saintess who lies really deserve that?”
It was Seria who hit hard.
“That day. The one who burned the town of Homeron…!”
Seria didn’t listen to her until the end, and dragged me by the hand and brought me in front of the saintess.
“Tell me in front of Yu-wol! Try it sometime.”
“I… why did I talk like that in front of demons…!”
“that…”
Sarah’s expression darkened.
“Because Yuwol is the only survivor of Homeron Village.”
“No way…”
The saintess’ mouth fell open.
Seria, sitting on the sofa, smiled coldly and crossed her legs.
It was like seeing… Luna.
“Are you finally thinking of hearing a little bit about my story? Saintess?”
“…that’s how it happened.”
I stood in the back without saying a word, and Seria told the saintess about my life as she knew it.
The fact that I was kidnapped by demons and turned into demons, and now I am dispatched to the human world as a hostage.
The saintess’ expression looked complex and subtle.
“Haa… then Mr. Yuwol? Let’s just ask one thing.”
“Yes. Holy Maiden.”
There was no need for me to forcefully stimulate her, who was barely calm.
“How on earth can you fool everyone’s eyes. How can you stay at this academy?”
I thought it was a point worth wondering about.
“Besides, I understand that Luke is in charge of the 1st class class.”
It was the name of the homeroom teacher that was talked about again.
What the hell is he doing, even the saintess mentions his name?
As the days went by, I became more and more curious about his identity.
“It’s thanks to this ring.”
I showed the ring I had received from Master.
“Are you saying it’s impossible to subtract now?”
“The moment I take this off, everyone will know that I am a demon.”
The saintess held my hand and examined the ring carefully.
Seria cleared her throat from behind, as if the saintess who had been holding my hand for a long time felt uncomfortable.
“Hmm! Hmm! Isn’t that enough to see everything? Holy Lady?”
“I see. Hmm…”
I couldn’t read her expression at all to see what the saintess was thinking.
“First of all, I understand the circumstances. Warrior. And Mr. Yuwol.”
It seemed like the story was going smoothly.
“The fact that Mr. Yuwol was a member of the warrior’s family. The fact that he became a demon not of his own will but of his own will. And last but not least, the most important point.”
The saintess’ red eyes looked at me.
“Not yet. That you haven’t harmed any humans.”
…Does the saintess even see things like that?
I haven’t been able to figure out anything about her god’s ability yet.
And why is she who should have been blind…
Can you see me clearly?
“thank you!”
Seria hugged her tightly, perhaps thanking her for her generosity.
“I thought that the saintess would understand!”
…hey Seria. Did I almost become a Buddha when I was burnt with the fire of real divine power?
The scene where I suffered something was her reaction, which seemed to have been completely forgotten.
“No, no. I am a saint. I am a person who is ready to listen to anything the warrior says.”
Certainly, the saintess didn’t seem to have any intention of pretending to play with the hero before the hero party was formed in earnest.
“It’s good! Yuwol-ah! Right!”
Seria smiled at me during the bath.
“That’s right. It’s really fortunate.”
I stroked her hair
The saintess looked at us without saying anything for a moment before opening her mouth to Seria.
“Hero.”
“yes.”
“Can I talk to you alone for a while?”
“…why?”
The sad Seria looked at her with a sharply wary look.
“I swear to God I won’t harm him, but I’ve come up with a few things I need to confirm with him.”
“Do you think you can ask me in front of me?”
Seria seemed uneasy about the two of her being left behind.
“Seria. It’s okay. I told you that the saintess swears.”
She was a saint, no one else. It was probably sincere that she didn’t hurt me.
“…Are you okay?”
Seria looked up at me with worried eyes.
“Yeah. Nothing special.”
“…Okay. If something happens, at least shout.”
I laughed at her reaction and escorted her to the door.
Inside Seria’s room.
Only the saintess and I were left.
“Let’s talk. Saintess. I’ll answer anything.”
The saintess sitting across from me with the table in the middle looked at me eagerly.
“…Mr. Yuwol.”
“yes.”
“Why are you lying?”
“…yes?”
“…Your ring. It’s not man-made.”
A strangeness flickered in the saintess’ red eyes.
