Chapter 17

「Suu, Suu! Today’s dinner dessert is strawberry pie! It’s delicious, thanks for sharing!」

「I’m glad you liked it Urr」

「But I prefer the pie that is baked by Suu. I want to get home quickly and I to eat Suu’s!」

I felt glad on what Urr said and stroked his water-like tail. He was floating near my shoulder so stroking him was easy.

We are now walking in the hallways back to our room after having dinner in the cafeteria of the church.

By the way, Reiss is following us at the back whose presence is like a thin air. Even escorting me back to the room is his task as the escort.

With the priests and spirit’s eyes, nothing like an accident won’t occur inside the church but for it seems that this guy was more into his duties.

Wherever you look at, everything is almost white inside the church.

The cylindrical pillar that overlaps your sight is adorned with ivy engraved that was patterned with gold chains. At the edge of the chains were designs of tiny bells.

There are bells all around. It was the proof of how much they adore the Spirit Queen.

「I’m everyone back home is doing fine. Master should’ve wanted to see Urr now right?」

「? I wonder? But, I’m also happy to see him yet I think it’s also fine not seeing him!」

「…..Urr, Even if it’s a lie you should say 『I was lonely being apart from you so I wanted to see you soon!』 to master.To us humans, there is a thing called social etiquette」

「I don’t quite understand it!」

「If you say that, I’m sure master will give you lots of sweets」

「Then I’ll do it!」

I was walking my feet steadily while while having a light chat with Urr when we arrived in front of our room without knowing. Since Reiss was the escort he also his room is also at the same floor.

For a moment.

When turned around to look at Reiss behind me.

I caught a glimpse of him smiling his lips a little while listening to Urr and I’s conversation, my eyes widened with the sight but it was gone the moment I blinked my eyes, I was thinking it was like some rare seasonal event.

Before entering the room Reiss stopped to tell me 「Don’t try to go out during the night at all cost」. He must be referring to the cases of disappearances where the Spirit Users went missing during the night with strong moonlight.

Even without you saying it, Sir Reiss the Escort, I won’t go out during the night.

I entered my room while somewhat in a bad mood, I fixed my hair in front of the mirror. I already took a hot water bath before dinner so I’ll go straight to bed after this. It’s just that the night is still early, maybe I’ll try reading some books in bed after combing my hair.

I was moving my hands while thinking what to do. My tea-colored hair that extended past my shoulders easily tangled because of it’s volume so combing it is quite difficult. (TL: The hair’s thickness was really described in the word volume)

While struggling with my hair suddenly a gust of night wind pa.s.sed through the window curtain causing it to flutter violently.

It will be cold today, so I stood up to close the windows.

—–And the, while trying to close the window, I breathed a sigh of admiration because of the scenery outside.

「Beautiful…..」

From the window inside my room, the scenery of blooming pink flowers in the courtyard came to my sight.

The moon was like hiding with the darkness of the night.

There were four-five birds with yellow wings that were flying as if dancing while reflected by the light.

Every time it flaps its wings, particles of light scatters, it was like stars that lights the darkness. The star-like particles floats in an circular line before disappearing. It was a very fantastic scenery.

They are light spirits.
