Chapter 19 (2/2)

That means that the lives of those who were abducted will be in danger if they won't be saved as soon as possible.

I can't quite imagine the demon's ritual but it without a doubt, it's something terrible. I rubbed my arms as I fell the chills ran through my body.

「We are conducting investigations with the new lead of demon users information right now. However, we need to hurry. The night of the full moon is approaching」

「Full moon？」

「Demons uses that light from the moon as the source of their powers. In contrast to that, spirit uses the light from the sun as the power source. And if our a.s.sumption is right which the demon users will be conducting the ritual, it probably is the time during the next night of the full moon」

That's right.

Even the information which the wind spirit Rick-kun obtained was that it was during the night with strong moonlight did that disappearances occurred, or something like that.

And since the demons uses the light from the moon, it's during those time it was the best to abduct someone.

As I was thinking about that, my eyes s.h.i.+fted to the light spirits who were still dancing since a while ago outside the window. Today, the moon is hiding behind the clouds. But during the day of the full moon the sky will be clear and the moonlight will s.h.i.+ne to the ground.

The demon would probably be glad and would be having their laughs as the gold moon s.h.i.+nes upon them.

「――――We can't let the demons succeed to their ritual for the sake of the Spirit Queen. We will definitely stop their ritual and ensure the safety of those who have been abducted. And have those demon user culprit to be captured and kneel in front of the Spirit Queen. I'll be doing my best for that reason. That is the duty of the Spirit Priests of the church」

Roa-kun declared while firmly clenching his tiny fist as his pale indigo eyes blazed with determination.

For a moment there, his face was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with manliness which made me astonished.

Roa-kun despite having a promising future, he always worry about it, being cute and somewhat kind of cool.

「Please be careful too during the moonlight is strong, Suria-sama. …… Even though I said that, it shouldn't be a problem for the chosen Spirit Princess-sama and Knight-sama that that was bestowed with protection by the Queen, I think the demon users won't be targeting you.  Even though it's weakened, it still a special protection given by the Queen with her own powers during the period of Sacred Bell Chant. You might not sense it but the Queen's power should have worked Spirit Princess-sama and Knight-sama」

「Even with Reiss……?」

「Yes. We even handed the『Spirit Mana Crystal』to Knigh-sama. The crystal, not only does it's used to store Spiritual Mana but it can also seal demonic mana. Actually it's also used as an ornament to the Queen's Treasure Sword. Even if it's only used during the Sacred Bell Chant, that is a valuable treasure」

Roa-kun muttered forcefully「The reason why the Head Priest-sama personally enchant that crystal with his own spiritual mana and handed to Knight-sama is probably…… in order to help Knight-sama for protecting Suria-sama because of the recent case of disappearances, I think but……」. Even the wind felt chilly when he was muttering by himself.

Somehow, the moonlight shone down and peeked at his face.

Roa-kun left in a hurry after talking leaving with a bow.

I asked 「You're leaving already？」in a teasing manner, finally his face was as red as an apple, my bad habit of wanting to mess whenever I see a cute child didn't really disappear.

The story was eerie and made me uneasy so what I said was half-serious……but let's just keep it at the back of my mind.

「N~e Uur. Are you still awake?」

「――――Nnn？　Nnnー？　Suu, you called？」

I intend to give up if he won't come out but I heaved a sigh of relief when Uur came out while rubbing his emerald eyes.

「Sorry for waking you up. …… Since it's been a while, should we sleep together today? It rea.s.suring having Uur being by my side」

「It's alright! If that's what Suu want」

「Thanks」

And then I embraced Uur's fluffy body and rolled down to the bed.

Reiss' cold red eyes flashed on my mind just before my consciousness faded.
