Vol 4 Prologue (1/2)

“Monica-senpai……are you really quitting as an apprentice Priestess?”

The room with all personal items completely removed Only silence filled the desolate space

Two girls stared at each other Each of the a plain vestment

“Senpai, why didn’t you tell me!”

The girl with an innocent and adorable face raised her voice Her jade eyes were teary and her long, off-gold hair reflected the ceiling lighting dazzlingly

“……It’s true, isn’t it”

“…………”

Contrasting that was the girl with sakura-colored hair tied into one lock asn’t saying anything

With her slie was in the nified and calrey eyes housed loneliness somewhere within them

“Why……didn’t you tell me?”

“It’s not like I haven’t told anyone It’s just……that I didn’t tell you”

Unable to bear her kouhai’s accusatory gaze, Monica turned her face away

“I’ve rets already So I thought I’d end it off here”

A Priestess — the girls that protect the barrier of this floating continent Eth called shi+nryoku, there were only three of these rare arts users

For the sake of beco as an apprentice Priestess for a long time

Froe of seven when she became an apprentice Priestess to fifteen years old, it had been nine years She had been frozen in ice while alive and sunk to the botto that cruel training that bordered on lunacy, her shi+nryoku developed

She lasted until the final test……but Monica didn’t become a Priestess

“It’s a relief for you An apprentice Priestess likemeans that you have one less rival”

“…………Senpai”

“I know, I’”

Consoling Yed her towards a chair Shall we sit and talk? —But the kouhai paid no attention to that

“U, um……Monica-senpai I think if it’s you, you can definitely become a Prelate! Since an apprentice Priestess that can reach the final test is rare”

“Teaching the newly enrolled apprentice Priestesses the basics of shi+nryoku, that instructor job?”
