Episode 47
“Huh?!”
The magnificent Border Collie, Cherry, pushed Ryan away with her paw.
“How can you say such scary things!”
Cherry, who had been watching my dejected expression, stood proudly on her hind legs.
Then she tapped my arm with her front paws and said.
“So listen, Coco. Originally this is a heavenly secret that shouldn’t be told. But you’re in great danger right now.”
As soon as those words ended, the puppies including Cherry moved busily.
Then, they displayed a small, round screen before my eyes.
The future unfolded like a Video Magic Tool.
The Sacred Mark being drawn on the back of my hand and being revealed as the Blessed Child to the whole world was good!
It’s revealed that the ‘Light Ability’ I possess has such powerful Healing Power that people say it’s the reincarnation of a saint.
‘So that’s why Sister’s Rampage was gradually improving just by me being next to her!’
But here’s the problem.
The next scene was…
Not only the Imperial Consort who is the current power behind the Empire, but also the Temple and other Noble Houses were all coveting my Special Ability.
I almost get kidnapped by an Assailant, and I’m even dragged to the Imperial Palace to undergo strange experiments.
In the process of trying to protect me, Duke Ardos, Ruth, and Sister all get seriously injured.
Especially Sister…
She dies from using excessive Dark Magic while trying to get me out of the Imperial Palace.
…Only after Sister died did our intimacy finally become complete.
But I couldn’t tell Sister that I was the puppy Coco in the end.
Because Sister died before that!
I glared at the Video Orb with teary eyes.
‘I don’t know exactly who kidnaps me or who kills Sister.’
But there was exactly one hint.
I angrily pointed at the Bearded Man who was giggling near Sister’s dead body.
“That guy is Sister’s ex-Fiancé! A year ago, when I died and Sister was suffering, he cheated and abandoned her!”
“That’s right.”
“And next to him is the Bad Woman who used to be Sister’s best friend but cheated with that man!”
“Yes, that’s right. Until now they haven’t been important in your life. But Coco, as your range of activities expands, you’ll encounter them too.”
“Fine. I don’t know for sure, but those bad guys are cooperating in killing our Sister.”
I’m going to bite them all with my front teeth!
Cherry patted my shoulder with her front paw as I wickedly bared my fangs.
“You know, there is a good point though, Coco.”
“Huh? What is it?”
I tilted my head while watching the images flash by with a whoosh.
“Your Light Ability is divided into a total of 5 stages. Right now, as you’ve grown closer to Sister, you’ve awakened up to the 2nd stage!”
“Wow. Why do I awaken a Light Ability when I become close with Sister?”
“…We don’t know that either!”
Right!
Still, there’s hope!
“They say you can awaken up to the 2nd stage through intimacy. But once you awaken to the 3rd stage, you’ll be able to save your sister from the danger of rampage.”
“Huh, then how do you awaken a 3rd stage ability?”
“Th, that’s…”
The puppies looked at each other like foolish dogs.
They seemed to have no clever solution for that part…
But as I recalled the countless fragments of the future the puppies had shown me, I felt like a clever solution might emerge.
‘Then what I need to do from now on is decided.’
Awaken the Light Ability to the 3rd stage and save Sister.
And eliminate the many dangerous elements around Sister, and survive myself too!
The moment I made that resolution.
A brilliant light appeared before my eyes.
I raised my hand and dropped the Holy Grail.
If a Sacred Mark appears or a Special Ability awakens inside the Mana Stream.
They told me to drop the Holy Grail to the floor.
Then the power of the Mental Ability’s blessing placed on the Holy Grail would be released, breaking the inside of the Mana Stream?
Around the time the Holy Grail rolled on the floor with a thud.
A magic circle with complex formulas including circles, triangles, and ancient script was slowly drawn on the back of my hand.
It was a Sacred Mark.
The moment the Sacred Mark, proof of receiving Divine Blessing, rippled majestically on the back of my hand.
“Coco, still, there are good things, right? We think we can help out briefly too.”
I tightly hugged the other puppies who had gathered around me one by one.
“So Coco, unlike you, we’re puppies who can’t reincarnate… But instead, please guard our owners well.”
“Our sister is very lonely. She keeps buying and collecting my clothes even though I’m not there, and sister’s brother hits her back really hard too.”
“Our sister says she doesn’t do hobbies anymore because she thinks of me, so I’m sad…”
They whispered in my ear.
I heard their owners’ names and listened to their characteristics.
“Some are nobles, some are commoners, some are ordinary people. But to us, they’re the most special beings in the world, so you can deliver our regards, right?”
“Of course! I definitely will! As soon as I meet them!”
I nodded vigorously and whispered softly to the puppies.
“So, can you help me with just one more thing at the end?”
“What is it?”
The puppies who heard my words gathered around.
And.
As I requested, the other puppies’ paws gently rubbed the back of my hand with soft taps.
Then the Sacred Mark on the back of my hand spread out pure white.
* * *
How much time had passed?
After all the rituals ended and I emerged from the Mana Stream.
My head was ringing as if it would split open.
“You’ve been in pain for far too long. It seems like someone has tampered with the Holy Grail.”
“Th-that can’t be possible!”
At Duke Ardos’s gruff voice, the priest jumped up in shock.
And right at that moment.
I opened my eyes with a flash.
“Hey, I’m awake!”
And I sat up energetically while shouting.
“On the back of my hand, something is engraved!”
“I shall examine it.”
I slowly extended the back of my hand toward the priest who approached.
The priest who saw the back of my hand showed a flustered expression.
“This is…”
“What is it?”
“There is a Sacred Mark. There is, but…!”
“…But?”
He lifted the back of my hand up into the air and shouted.
“It’s a half mark!”
And so the back of my hand was revealed before everyone’s eyes.
The Sacred Mark was said to originally be a circle with complex magic circle patterns.
But what was on the back of my hand was a round crescent.
‘I asked my puppy friends to erase part of the Sacred Mark.’
The puppy friends worried that the erased Sacred Mark would reappear before long…
‘But hiding my power for now and healing Sister is most important.’
Had my intention worked?
The atmosphere became somewhat bewildered.
Especially at the word “half mark,” all the blood relatives rushed out with surprised expressions.
Looking at the crescent pattern drawn on the back of my hand with expressions as if they might faint.
* * *
“Has there ever been a case where only half a Sacred Mark appeared?”
“That’s absurd. We thought she was a Blessed Child, but…”
“But anyway, half a Sacred Mark appeared, right? So doesn’t that mean she’s both a Blessed Child and not a Blessed Child?”
The atmosphere became very strange.
The priest seemed unable to say anything since this was his first time experiencing such a thing.
“If, if Lady Coco truly received Divine Blessing and is a 【Blessed Child】…”
“….”
“It might have been the catalyst for awakening your special ability. Have you perhaps developed a new special ability?”
Coco only blinked her eyes.
She seemed to be choosing her answer.
“My special ability is Animal Affinity.”
“Animal Affinity… Isn’t that a Cidian-class ability? Not bad, but just ordinary…”
It was certainly an ambiguous ability.
“Shouldn’t we test to see what level of ability it is?”
“…Honestly, how great of an ability could Animal Affinity be?”
Sarcastic remarks were flying around.
Around that time, Duke Ardos, who needed to mediate the situation, shouted loudly.
“Quiet!”
When the retainers fell silent without a peep.
As if deeply contemplating something, he closed his eyes and then opened them again.
At that moment, the door opened with a loud noise.
Who dared to interrupt the sacred ceremony? People’s gazes turned sharp.
Two High Priests walked in wearing pure white priest robes and gold-embroidered hats on their heads.
And in the center between them…
Lucretia Ardos.
She had returned—the woman who had been staying at the Temple, aggressively recruiting priests to strengthen her forces.
Though approaching fifty, she still possessed beautiful features.
“Oh my. Am I perhaps interrupting a sacred ceremony?”
Entering the dark space with light, she appeared incredibly holy.
Half overwhelmed and half scrutinizing her, no one answered as the situation continued.
The beautiful woman walked forward as if she were the protagonist and spoke.
“If I’m not being a disturbance, would you explain the situation? I do have that much right in this family, don’t I?”
The silence was broken by those words.
A High Priest spoke with an expression of dismay.
“We greet Lady Lucretia. The matter is that a scar has appeared on the Little Master’s hand. Opinions are divided about whether she is truly a Blessed Child.”
“Ah…”
She leisurely walked toward Coco, who stood quietly in front of the Holy Grail.
“So this is the child.”
Her eyes curved upward slyly.
“If there’s a scar, the decision is already made.”
It was when Coco glared defiantly at Lucretia.
“Unfortunately, it seems we’ll have to proceed with disownment.”
