24 Night feast (2/2)

The temple knight that Lucullus was concerned about was found lying on the ground this evening.

It seems that he was struck by someone. The fallen temple knight was brought into the house in a state where he couldn't move his mouth or body just a few minutes ago.

Kaya seems to have gone to ask the temple knights who killed them.

As we were talking, Kaya came back.

'Kaya-san, how did it go? What did you find out?

I ask and Kaya looks at me.

Kaya still has no facial expression, like a Noh mask, and her emotions are hard to read.

'Yes, it seems that the person in question is in this country.

Everyone looks at Kaya at those words.

'What's going on, Kaya?'

I ask Kaya for details.

'From the wounds, the person who defeated the temple knights seems to be quite a user. Even I may be no match for him.

We listen to Kaya.

The temple knights have been twisted to the point of not dying, and it seems that even Kaya has difficulty with the exquisite force of the temple knights. The body is hurt but not badly, and one of the temple knights seems to have been able to move immediately after casting a recovery spell.

And it seems that Kaya has decided that if he can do that much, he is the person in question.

'Well, Kaya-san, the person in question is the one who touched Kyouka-san's tits: ......

Reno asked and Kaya nodded.

'Probably not,'

Everyone looks at each other in surprise.

'You normally follow us. ......

Cyrone has a headache. My head hurts too.

''Apparently, the cosplay strategy worked: ......

'Yes, yes ....... I never thought it would really work for that operation: ......

I was surprised, too.

Apparently, a pervert had been summoned to this world. And someone who was as good as Kaya.

''What would you like to do?''

Kaya asks.

'Sure. ......, we'll be looking for you tomorrow. ......

When I say this, everyone sounds disgruntled. I don't want to meet such a pervert either.

But I should find a way to get back to my old world.

'Um ...... I'm going to the tower tomorrow so I don't have to look for it, right?'

Syrone says fearfully.

Honestly, it looks like he's on the run, but the search for the pervert is more important but less urgent.

And I don't think the outcome would be any different if Sirone, who isn't great at searching, was left out.

'Well, I can't blame you. ......

I approve.

'Oh, that's not fair!'

Hey, Mr. White, it's not fair!　Then I'm going to the tower myself!

Reno and Nao voice their discontent.

'We're not running anymore. We can't expect to find them tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, we're going to have Shirone join us in our search, so it won't be that different.'

They couldn't find it after all that searching in the St. Renaria Republic. We'd better prepare for a long war.

Besides, this time we've confirmed that the pervert is close to us. That's quite a good thing.

”Don't worry, Reno, Nao. If that guy shows up, I'll take him down.

Rage laughs wryly.

'Mr. Rage: ......'

Rage Seniors: ”Rage Seniors: ......

Reno and Nao are thrilled by those words.

Honestly, it's not about taking down a pervert, but you know what?

'By the way, Kaya. Didn't those temple knights see the face of the deviant?

I ask Kaya.

Kaya's face, always the same, seems to have clouded up a bit.

'It's like it's under some kind of mind manipulation spell.

Kaya's words surprised me a bit.

Speaking of mental manipulation magic, there are Oblivion Magic, Memory Manipulation Magic, Domination Magic, etc. The Oblivion Magic is the easiest and the Domination Magic is the most difficult.

The Oblivion spell is the easiest and the Control spell is the hardest in terms of difficulty.

”You mean he's erased your memory?

Kaya nodded.

Did the pervert erase his own memories after defeating the Temple Knight?

'Apparently so. The temple knights who were defeated were able to move, but apparently they don't remember what they were doing all day today.

Kaya says, annoyed.

'Hmm, maybe it's the magic of oblivion: ......'

It's hard to say because the same symptoms can occur with memory manipulation magic and domination magic.

It is more difficult to use memory manipulation and control magic than the relatively easy forgetting magic. It's a good idea to have your own magic power much higher than the opponent's, otherwise it won't work and the opponent's memory will be confused.

So if you don't have a memory, you won't know what magic you're using.

But if it's oblivion magic, there's a good chance that the temple knight sees the opponent's face.

Can we manage to pull that information out?

''I might have to rely on Reno-san: ......''

I look at Reno.

Reno can use mind-dive magic to penetrate a person's mind.

And if you penetrate deep into their minds, you can learn things they've forgotten.

Errrrrr... ......

However, Reno looks disgusted.

He didn't seem to be very fond of the defeated temple knights. This doesn't make much sense.

The magic of spirit infiltration strongly depends on the spirit of the magician who uses it. It seems that if it's the spirit of someone you don't like, you can't go too deep, and Reno is particularly prone to this.

Whatever the case, spirit infiltration is mental, but ...... well, it seems to be close to a s*xual thing. She doesn't want to do it unless it's someone she likes.

This won't allow you to peer into the memories of a pervert.

'If you don't like it, Reno-san, I don't blame you. Well then, let's use our feet steadily.''

It's the most effective way to do it, but if he doesn't like it, there's no way around it.

But still, who the hell is the pervert? Why are they hiding?

And where are they now?

The night passed without knowing.

Dark Knight Kroki.

Night ends and morning comes.

You wake up and your body doesn't move.

It's because someone is on top of you.

The person on top is a goddess with beautiful, shining hair.

Then you remember last night and turn red.

The goddess wakes up.

”Fuechlochy ...... why?

I honestly can't look at my face properly.

I don't think I was normal last night, and neither did Raina.

'Err ...... ahhh ！！！！'

In the morning, Raina seems to have come to her senses. She is blushing and moaning with her head in her hands.

'That Raina ....... Bugui!''

When I try to talk to him, he hits me.

I can't deal with the suddenness of it.

I look at Raina while rubbing her beaten face and she's breathing hard. She's staring at us.

Raina suddenly pulls her own face to mine.

'Wow, look at my eyes, Kroki!

Oh, yeah. ！！！！

My mind is confused and I look into Raina's eyes as I'm told.

Her beautiful, shining eyes were there.

Those eyes shine. The light seemed to go from my eyes into my body and run through my entire body.

I knew it was trying to cast some kind of magic, but I couldn't resist.

Raina exclaims.

The magic of oblivion ......?

I realize what magic I'm about to use, but I accept it.

I become dazed.

'Huh-eh-eh-eh ！！！！'

I could hear Raina crying and doing something, but there was nothing I could do about it anymore.

◆Chiyuki, the black-haired wise man.

First thing in the morning, we receive a rare guest.

There is a winged man in front of me.

He's what we call an angel.

It seems it's rare for an angel tribe to come down to earth. It's a rare guest indeed.

I was woken up by this angel when I was still sleeping.

I'm sorry for the early morning, Chiyuki.

The angel's manner of speaking doesn't seem too shabby.

The angelic race is a beautiful race with beautiful wings, but they are sometimes hard to like because of their pride and disrespect for humans.

''Well, it's fine ....... What's going on Nia?''

In truth, I'm still sleepy, but I have no choice but to deal with them since I have urgent business.

Nia is a female angel who is the captain of the war maiden squad that serves Raina. I've met her once in the past.

It's the first time I've seen Nia since then.

That Nia woke me up unexpectedly while I was still asleep. What could this be?

I can hear people making a lot of noise around this pavilion. They seem to be making a lot of noise about the angels coming down.

I wish I had the ability to hide and act a little. It's a lot of noise.

'I don't see Lady Raina coming over here, do you?

Nia asks me to choke.

'What, why Raina?'

I haven't seen Raina yet since I came to this country.

'Actually, I haven't been able to contact Lady Raina since last night. She's supposed to be here, but she's at .......

Nia says, annoyed.

'Raina? They're not here.

Nia's face turns blue as I answer.

'No way, something happened to Lady Raina: ......

Nia is shaking. I think she's imagining something pretty awful.

She's not a child, she's probably thinking too much after a night or so.

'We have to find her ASAP!

That ...... Nia .......

I try to calm the panicked Nia.

That's when I felt a strong magical force coming from outside.

Looking out the window, I saw a shining object in the cloudy sky.

''That's Raina-sama!

Nia shouts.

As it is, the glowing object flies towards Elyos.

''Whoa! We're going after Lady Raina! Chiyuki! Take care of the rest!

With that said, Nia goes out the window and follows the shiny object.

I'm the only one left in the room.

'What the hell is that?'

Dark Knight Kroki

Night ends and morning comes.

I wake up and my face hurts.

Besides, why am I sleeping here?

I was sleeping on the floor.

I try to remember what I was doing last night.

'Huh! What did I do last night?

I can't remember what I did last night.

'Yes. Raina kissed me out of the blue ...... and I can't remember what I did. Let's see, from there ...... I don't remember anything else ......

I remember Raina's beautiful face looming over me.

I remember that and writhe.

Was she given a sleeping potion when she kissed me?

And did he try to do something while he was asleep?

That Raina is gone.

There is an amazing feeling of disappearance in not being able to see Raina's face.

I don't know what it is, but Raina's face has not disappeared from my mind.

What has really happened?

'I don't know! What happened!

I roll around on the floor with my head in my hands.

As I roll around, I hit something on my body.

'Yeah?'

If you look closely, you'll see a vial lying on the floor.

What's this?

The vial is empty and there is nothing inside. It looks like it was all spilled on the floor.

It must have been dropped by Raina.

It looks like a magic potion inside, but it's all spilled out and I don't know what it is.

It might give us a clue as to what Raina was trying to do.

I'll look for something else.

I'll look at the room. It's a little, well, pretty dirty.

'Oh, shit. ....... I don't know what happened, but I need to ...... clean it up.

When I touch the sheets to magically clean the bed sheets, two things fall out.

One is a tear of some sort.

I look at the tear. It's a small area.

It reminds me of something.

”I'll keep this ....... Yeah, sure.

For some reason, my own instincts tell me that.

The other one is some kind of metal.

I pick it up.

It's an ornament with a black gemstone in the center.

”Is this a necklace?
