Part 2, Chapter 17 (210)
I lifted my head without thinking and my mouth fell open.
“…!”
Ah, golden stars descend.
Paper cranes shaped like stars slowly poured down toward me, embroidering the blue night with radiance.
‘Breathtakingly beautiful.’
The softly glowing paper cranes formed a milky way, circling around me.
They seemed to be urging me forward, pouting as if asking why I’d taken so long to arrive.
‘How adorable. Baby paper cranes. When did he even make these?’
The lower-ranking Air Spirits rode the delighted paper cranes, playing and frolicking.
The lower-ranking Water Spirits watched enviously from the side, so I gently nudged those little ones onto the paper cranes as well.
Since they were created by magic, they wouldn’t get wet anyway.
The Spirits cheered with glee, and the flock of paper cranes swayed with their excitement.
As the remaining paper cranes gently settled on my arms, near my collarbone, and above my head, Rasifer still hadn’t appeared.
“Pel, is this hide-and-seek?”
Sensing this was his playfulness, I looked around and pretended to search for something.
“I can’t find you anywhere.”
“Here.”
“…!”
Then, a slightly cool hand covered my eyes.
I flinched, but recognizing his voice, I simply laughed.
“Oh, was I supposed to be the one hiding?”
“No. Actually, I was planning to stay hidden until you found me… but seeing you, I couldn’t hold back anymore.”
The voice settling near my ear was still soft, tinged with a sweetness and playfulness that was almost excessive.
‘As expected. It’s like how he treats his Companion.’
I wasn’t foolish enough not to notice.
All this tenderness, this excessive consideration and courtesy, looking only at me, craving only me—this blind devotion.
Though we hadn’t seen each other in years, Rasifer was so sweet, as if he’d been waiting all along, or as if he were about to burst from emotions he’d been holding back.
Sweet enough to make my gums ache.
“Finally, we won’t be disturbed. Good.”
Rasifer, who had taken my hand at some point, smiled with curved eyes.
I watched him quietly, then lowered my gaze to our intertwined hands.
‘The Navy Sisters said that. Intertwining fingers like that, even when you’re not dating, is a sign of possessiveness.’
They said you had to be careful with men like that.
‘What else did they say? That a simple, cheerful man who suits bright places is better than a truly handsome, sinister, worn-down man who suits dark places.’
I was thinking these thoughts because my heart was being rather noisy.
Thump, thump.
My heart was beating faster than usual.
But one thing was certain—this wasn’t the feeling of ‘liking’ someone.
It was simply a reaction because Rasifer’s appearance was so, so much my type.
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ says that it should originally be awkward, embarrassing, and difficult to even look at.]
[The Luck Spirit King ‘■■■■■■’ says that a comfortable, serene romance lasting long like a friendship isn’t bad either.]
I pushed aside the Spirit Kings’ glittering messages for now.
I know the Spirit Kings hope for my romantic involvement, but—
“I have something I’m curious about.”
At my abrupt question, Rasifer stopped walking and looked at me.
“You said there’s something threatening me… do you know what it is?”
“A threat? Well, I don’t think it would become a threat. Rather, it’s a fitting title. But if they try to demand any responsibility from you based on that, I won’t stand for it.”
“I don’t understand why no one will tell me what it is. It’s my matter.”
If my family is hiding something from me, the reason is probably love.
I know that, but I don’t like it!
“Shu, have you heard of the Three Holy Spirits of the Osirian Church?”
“No…?”
“They’ve been growing their power explosively recently, so you probably wouldn’t know. The Three Holy Spirits refer to the Spirit Kings.”
“…?”
[The Water Spirit King ‘Aurora’ expresses confusion.]
[All the Spirit Kings are observing the current situation.]
“It’s a term unique to the Osirian Church that refers to the Earth Spirit King, the Water Spirit King, and the Air Spirit King.”
“Oh…?”
“You, who receive the protection of the Three Holy Spirits, are the saintess of the Osirian Church.”
It was a truly concise explanation.
There was nothing I didn’t understand.
The problem is that I can’t accept it.
“Me? A saintess? All of a sudden?”
“Yes, all of a sudden.”
“…??”
“It’s quite a fitting title, though. I do like that part.”
Wait, what?
More importantly, excuse me?
‘I’ve never made a contract with the Earth Spirit King.’
[The Earth Spirit King ‘■’ is taken aback.]
[The Flame Spirit King ‘Flammeus’ is displeased.]
[The Air Spirit King ‘Shapasi’ finds the Three Holy Spirits story interesting.]
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ angrily demands why he isn’t one of the Three Holy Spirits.]
The Spirit Kings seemed flustered too, sending me a flood of glittering messages.
Rasifer glanced in that direction, then added an explanation.
“The Osirian Church loves all natural things, right? Since they created a new religion, they needed a plausible position. And over those few years, they’ve constructed the religion quite well.”
“But I’ve never made a contract with the Earth Spirit King, so why all of a sudden….”
I became a saintess without even agreeing to it.
Could anything be more absurd than this?
“Could you explain in detail? Including the current political situation.”
“Of course. Should we sit somewhere? If it feels stuffy, we could go up into the sky and talk there instead.”
The sky?
The moment I tilted my head in confusion, a path made of paper cranes materialized before me.
Rasifer stepped onto it and turned to look at me.
“Want to give it a try? It’ll be a nice change of pace.”
“Sure!”
How could I possibly refuse something like this?
With each step I climbed, the ground fell further away.
My chest felt lighter as the worries I’d been carrying and the problems before me seemed to recede into the distance.
“I’ve flown through the sky on Urakan before, but this is a first for me.”
“Pretty, isn’t it? The Capital’s night sky.”
“Yeah. It’s like a city that never sleeps.”
Rasifer’s paper cranes proved remarkably practical.
Once we’d climbed to a certain height, he suddenly conjured an entire park into existence.
He gathered the cranes together to form benches and laid down flooring. With such accommodations, everything felt genuinely comfortable and safe.
“I still don’t know what the Osirian Church truly wants. But the fact that they’ve joined hands with the First Prince means they intend to transform this nation into a theocracy. That’s quite inconvenient for the Mage Order.”
“Right. Oh, thanks.”
Rasifer snapped his fingers in the void and produced a milk tea frappuccino, handing it to me.
As I accepted it and took a sip, he conjured a black tea tiger next?
‘Magic is wonderful.’
With something sweet in my stomach, my mind felt clearer.
“I quite like that they call you a saint. But if anyone tries to use that title to manipulate you….”
Rasifer, who had been wiping away crumbs from the corner of my mouth, let his words trail off.
A dark glimmer swirled within his jewel-like eyes as he leaned closer.
It seemed he’d left unsaid: “I won’t let that happen.”
“In any case, you have nothing to worry about. I’ve simply been leaving you alone because I didn’t know what you wanted.”
“I don’t want to be a saint!”
“No?”
“No. There’s no reason for me to be one. I don’t even possess holy power. Though it seems the Osirian Church treats the power of spirits as if it were sacred power.”
I made a mental note to corner Father tomorrow and ask him why he hadn’t told me this.
As I was making that resolve, Rasifer gently tapped my nose.
“Whatever trouble comes your way, I’ll come running. Just like today.”
“I’m truly grateful for that. And thank you for searching for places where Sister Diolrose might be.”
“It was nothing. I couldn’t even find her, after all.”
“Still. You supported me all the way through what I wanted to do.”
Everyone had wanted me to give up.
But what I needed wasn’t for them to tell me to stop “because they cared about me.”
What I needed was for someone to quietly watch over what I wanted to accomplish and help me see it through.
“I was born for you. I’m not trying to change you according to my own desires.”
