*poke, *poke

Mmm~?

Feeling something poking me on the shoulder while I was basking in the morning sunlight on my bed, I woke up. I looked behind me and saw Arenas sleeping face and two fairies that looked like me standing there giggling and sobbing. Oh my, whats wrong?

I knew it, a [New Hero] was here?

I asked, and the fairies nodded their heads. I held out my palm, and they jumped back into it. Then something entered my head.

I see what you mean, Quad, thats brilliant.

The fairies were only allowed to communicate with each other, but Quad was there to record and video record the events. I dont know about Mika and the others, but Quad left a perfect record of the heroes he fought. He made it look like he was stopping the heroes, but he made sure that the fairies couldnt be seen and gave them time to escape. That old gentleman is too clever.

Nn~Aidle~morning~

Yes, yes, good morning~

Funyaa~

The way Hinomoto-san was talking, she didnt seem to be too keen on the idea. Maybe we can work something out through discussion.

Since were not in a place like the arena of a martial arts tournament, Im afraid well break many things if we have to fight in a small area.

Okay, Arena, lets spend the day in fairy form, shall we?

Really? Are you certain?

Yeah, I have to meet with La Veil and the others.

Yay!!

Ohhhh, thats right. Its been a long time since weve been alone together, though weve often been fairies lately. I could hardly look around when I was in Amone, so I guess I should be happy. The only game we played was blindfolded chess with [Parallel Thinking].

Im worried about La Veil and the others, so lets go see whats going on in the country and listen to various peoples stories. Lets go!

Lets go

Well, what do you think of La Veil Radd?

Looking down from the cloudy sky, La Veil Radd is nothing but white buildings that match the surrounding snowy mountains. And the roofs are highly sloped, probably because it snows all the time. The inn where we stayed was also generally long and narrow. The inn we stayed at was long and narrow, and it was common to see four stories high buildings.

But a goddess sitting on top of a red dragon National flag? Maybe. The flag of the country was displayed in many places. Hmmmis that how they treat La Veil?

For now, lets listen to what people are talking about.

There is a surprise this morning. Normally, everyone goes to the Popes morning address every day, even if theres no edict to call everyone.

I take it this isnt the usual scripture talk? Maybe its about the priestess?

Yeah Its possible, Cielo-sama Its been a while since she was kidnapped, but I wonder if shes okay

Idiot, the heroes are searching for her It should be fine!

Ah, ah I guess so.

And thats what they said in the morning. If there is to be an unusual convocation, then it might be Cielo-related. Holding hands with Arena, who was licking candy and following me, I turned my eyes to the surroundings as I listened to the believers walking towards the castle.

The people who looked like believers were wearing robes with red and white lines, and those who didnt, were all walking around with the same [book]. I thought books were expensive, but in this country they are so essential that they are handed out to everyone, so maybe thats the Bible.

The words that came out of their mouths were all about heroes and shrine maidens. I dont think Ive ever heard a single bad thing about them. They were mostly worried about the priestess and thanked the heroes for their service. Its no wonder.

In this way, its like a venerable [Hero Religion]. Its certainly entirely different from [Fairyism].

How solemn~

Well, were just playing along, right?

Now, as we came to the castle where all the believers were gathered, we saw a shadow of a person in a place that was overhanging the castle. Instantly, the believers bowed their heads. Oh, thats the Pope. Furthermore, a man appeared in front of them.

A sword at his waist, white armor on his body I looked at him with my Fairy Eyes and saw that he was the problem child of this time.

Hmm even Mika can win if she tries hard enough. If she were to use her holy sword property, she should be able to seal the deal, and I really want to let her fight. In order for that to happen, the holy armor has to be returned to Mikas hands. Ill have to go get it soon.

Its starting~?

Oh, its true. Wow, Cielos looking like a mess

Cielo came out, but the look on her face when she heard Goutani speaking, as if he had gone through many hardships and had reached a state of selflessness. If I were to describe what kind of face she had, I would say it was a serious face. Ill have to go comfort her later.

And as expected, when they talked about the marriage ceremony, La Veil and the others were brought in with cloth bags over their heads and strapped to crosses. It doesnt really matter, they just put their arms through on top. I can see slave collars around their necks, so maybe thats why she cant use [Synchronization].

[Arena, lets go say hello to La Veil and the others.]

[Oui-su~]

So, we approached La Veil, who was being abused, and La Veil spotted us. She turned her eyes to point at her neck while puckering up her mouth. Yes, yes, wait a minute.

I manipulated the collars of La Veil and the others with [fairy magic] and released all restrictions. However, the collars will remain on. Okay, [Synchronization] is connected.

[Hello, La Veil, was it yesterday?]

[Oh, weve been waiting for you, Master.]

[Hello~, La Veil~]

I was about to ask her about what happened after that, but Quad had his fairy alter ego out, just like me, and he retrieved it from Cielo and handed it to me. The timing was just too perfect, Uncle.

I asked him to show me Cielos condition. I see, Hinomoto-san is also wearing a slave collar. I dont know what the reason is, but it seems that she cant take any action that would be detrimental to the problem child. Still, shes not a bad person around, following Cielo to some extent.

Ciel-chan said she was helped by her before. Shes basically neutral and doesnt get involved in troublesome things, but she was always in Asahina-kuns party because of her strong attributes.

Mika said in a whisper, turning her face down so as not to be noticed. Then I guess I might be able to convince her. The question is, can I do something about the attribute and bring it up for discussion? I havent seen her status yet, so I dont know how strong she is.

Quad said that even if he really tried, he wouldnt be able to beat it, so she must be pretty strong.

[La Veil, Im going to rescue everyone now.]

[Hey, Master, wouldnt that cause chaos?]

[Dont worry, Ill make replacements for everyone. Once theyre all on top of each other, Arena and I will use fairy magic to make them all invisible, so we can get out.]

[Its still going to be a mess.]

Yes, I think so too. But I cant help it because Ive been able to do so much more since I got the Quads experience. Right now, I am still rational, but I have a feeling that if I let myself go with it, something even more outrageous than at the martial arts tournament will happen.

It might end up a little bland, but it has to have substance. Ill make it look like a Golem, and then Ill transfer the faces, body shapes, and clothes of the three of them onto them Execute.

Okay, okay, weve got the look-alikes.

The face is expressionless, but it moves like its supposed to, so I guess theres no problem. The next step is to create an illusion by manipulating the light so that the followers cant see it. I let the three of them slip out, and put the bland golem in the same pose and position.

Then, me and Arena put invisibility on everyone, and the illusion was lifted. This allowed us to escape without anyone finding out.

Um, if we had done this from the beginning, everything would have been fine

I was expecting an irregularity like Hinomoto-san to be there. Besides, from what Ive heard, I was not convinced that the trouble boy would kill Mika and the others yet. He would definitely use them for his marriage to Cielo. And all my predictions came true, so here I am.

I was so worried about guh you idiot~?

Come on, stop crying and lets go. Im sorry for hiding it from you. I took out my usual white robe, fashioned it into something similar to the followers, and handed it to everyone.

Here, put this on. If you keep it on tight enough, they wont notice, right? Well be going to Cielos place for a bit, so you guys can look for those rumored to be rebels, and Quad can continue to work with La Veil and the others. Im off then. Arena~

See you later~!

Yes, have a pleasant trip, you two.

Dont worry, well save you a place to stay. If youre not coming back, use [Synchronization] to let me know~

Yes, yes.

Shes too free spirited Mmm?

As the situation progressed, Mika was disappointed that she couldnt do anything and was being swept away. But then Aidle came back and clasped Mikas cheek with her small hand.

Mika, Ill have your holy armor back by the end of the week, and you can take care of Goutani. Understood?

Yes! Ill leave it to you!!!!

Okay, thats a good answer. Bye bye!

With a beautiful smile, Aidle and the others went away. Once again, Mika thanked Aidle in her heart for her willingness to let them finish the job.

Then, she once again looked at the opponent she was going to defeat and determined herself to do so.

Meanwhile, lets give Cielo a number of homemade candy balls (failures) as a consolation prize.

Should I stop?

Yes.

I was stopped by Arena.
