Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

Episode 16 Battle of the Cathedral ⑥

"Mr. Lou! Are you all right, sir?I'm going to heal your feet now!

When Ku disappeared, Leria began to heal my legs.

Good. My leg is healed.

"Yeah, Leria... thank God."

"No, I'm sorry I'm late for help, too."

Yeah. It's okay because I won. "

After a while, my feet came back to life.

"Wow, that won't beat Lena, will it?

I was flexing and jumping and checking my back leg.

Wow, this feels nothing different than the original leg.

"No, it doesn't matter to Lena at all."

"That's right...Still, thank you for fixing my leg!

That's how I hugged Leria.

"No, it's the Virgin's job, too.Still... is the vampire now the coup of that famous tragedy? "

"Tragedy?"

"Yes, but I don't know if it's a fairy tale.

"Fine. That sounds interesting. Let me know!

"I see. Once upon a time... there was a Virgin who said that the messenger would also be resurrected.It seems that requests for resurrection have been received by the Virgin every day. "

"Eh. Did the Virgin help you with everything?

If I were you, I'd never run away.

"Yes, the Virgin did not hesitate to ask so many favors."

"It's amazing to work every day.Even Elsie doesn't work that far.

Even Elsie, who works every day, occasionally takes a break and flirts with Leo, and the Virgin is amazing.

"Yes, that's right. I'm sure he was really kind and admired by people.Someday I'll be such a virgin. "

"I could be Leria.It's as sweet as Lena. "

My feet have healed easily.

"Really? To.I'm so happy. "

"So, let me hear the rest of the story!

"Yes, yes. And then... the bad guys can't miss such a great virgin."

"What? The Virgin has been grabbed?

"Yes, the Virgin has been captured by the Devil's army."

Eh ~

Demon King, why do you do such a terrible thing?Unbelievable.

"So, what happened to the captured Virgin?They killed you?

"The jail in which the Virgin was captured and brought was a dark, narrow jail."

"Not just grabbing, but imprisoning?It's horrible to do such a thing to the Virgin!

I've been caught before, but I'm really hungry and I'm in trouble!

"That's right. I feel terrible, too."

"So someone came to save the Virgin?

"No, no... there was no help with the Virgin."

Huh?

Did nobody come to help you?You mean someone like me, Leo, never visited the Virgin?

Poor Virgin....

"The demons were so powerful back then... it seems that the men couldn't help the Virgin."

"So, what happened to the Virgin?

"The Virgin has been locked up in jail all along.While treating the body and injured person that was presented..... "

"Huh? You're the enemy?Did you cure him?

"Yes, the Virgin can help anyone in front of her, regardless of the enemy."

"That's... what do you mean?You really are a Virgin. "

Lena also cured the hero who stabbed Leo... and she might say something like that about a Virgin.

"Yes, I think it's really amazing.As she goes on living like that... she moves the heart of a young demon. "

"Huh? Maybe that's it...."

"Yes, it's Vampire Ku.At the time, he was an apprentice... and he was guarded. "

So I fell in love with the Virgin.

Well, anyone who's a nice and gentle Virgin will love it...

"Yes, that's right.Ku touched the pure heart of the Virgin for a long time... and fell in love.And then one night...I told the Virgin I wanted her to marry me to help you. "

"So, what did the Virgin say?

"I already have a husband and children..." she replied sadly.The Virgin was already married to the Pope. "

"Oh no...."

"Still, Ku didn't give up.He asked me every day to stay with him... even if I couldn't marry him. "

"That's amazing."

It's a great gut to be able to dictate every day even if you shake it.

"The Virgin breaks her enthusiasm and makes a blood contract with Ku."

"Ah, I heard that yesterday!That's why the vampire can't defy the Pope, right?

The one Leo and the others were talking about.

It was too difficult to talk, and I almost overheard it, but I remember saying it was a blood contract!

"Yes... that's right.Instead of rescuing the Virgin, Ku made a deal to have her by her side for the rest of her life. "

"Why is it a tragedy when it's all tied up?

"Ku couldn't protect the Virgin."

Huh?

Couldn't you protect the Virgin?

"A chaser of the Demon King army will kill the Virgin."

"That's not true....."

"It's a real tragedy, isn't it?It seems that the Virgin passed away just a short time before the Holy Nation. "

"After the Virgin died... what happened to Ku?

"I came to the Pope with the late Virgin.And I wanted the Pope to make amends for the Virgin's death until the Virgin's blood was cut off. "

"... so the Pope made Ku an assassin."

It's certainly a tragedy. Cu, poor thing...

"No, at first I tried to kill him by torture.They say it was a terrible torture. "

"Eh... Cough tried to save the Virgin?

I can't believe you tried to help me, but you did such a terrible thing...

"Yes, but the demons, including Ku, killed the Virgin...."

"Oh no...."

"But that torture ended in about a month."

"What? Why?

"I found out that no matter how hard I tortured you, I wouldn't die."

"Oh, sure.You didn't die. "

If I did that, I'd be dead, and I wouldn't be able to kill ordinary people.

"So the Pope gave up killing and decided to use it as his token."

"So, assassin?

"Yes, it was perfect for Ku who could use dark magic."

What a pity.

I killed him...

"Yes, but don't tell me.

"What? Why?

"In the church facing you, the demons are evil.This story is famous, but it has been designated a book not to be read by church people. "

"Well, then, how does Leria know?

Leria's a saint, so she's from church, right?

"If they say no, don't you want to read it?

Leria smiled at my question.

"Ah, sure!

If they tell me not to eat, I want to eat too much!

"Hmm. You're a demon, but you don't think anything about the Gulmurian teachings that make this demon evil?

"What? That? Why would you do that?

When I noticed, Ku was lying nearby.

The magic was so thin... I didn't even notice.

"Hmm. I can come back to life with a drop of blood."

"Hmm, but I don't think there's any magic left."

I see. I don't have the strength to fight. "

"Then why didn't you run away?

If you stay here, you could be killed by me, right?

"Where are you going?

"If you ask me...."

I don't think so.

"Well, good. Kill him now."

Huh?

"Tell him to kill me.You heard what I said earlier from that woman over there.I'm tired... please let me die. "

"Eh, uh...."

Can I kill this?Leo isn't here...

In the meantime, I asked Leria for help.

"That story was true."

"Oh, it's true.Well, if you fix it, I'm not a guard, I'm just a vampire. "

"Huh? Did you bother sneaking into jail?

"Oh, I see.At first, I was interested.I heard about a crazy woman... and I went to see her.Then... she's even prettier than I thought. "

He fell in love at first sight.Speaking of which, did Stan say he was in love at first sight?

Surprisingly, is there a lot of love at first sight?

"Oh, that's right.I'll fix the fairy tale. "

"Hey, wasn't that a prohibition?I'm worried about the Virgin today. "

"Really?

"Oh, it looks like Kiera."

"Kiira? Is that the Virgin's name?

"Yes, it is."

"Ah... well, who was Kiera?

"Looks just like you.Well, Kiera was taller.Your personality... is exactly what you just said.Everyone was really nice to me. "

Yeah, he was really amazing.

"I see...I want to be a saint like Kiera, too. "

I see. Hang in there.Then kill him now. "

"Uh-huh...."

Are you sure you want to kill this?Even I know that killing someone has a different vibe...

I also asked Leria for help.

"Wait a minute."

"Is there anything else?

"Yes, there was one thing I wanted to try after reading that fairy tale."

That said, Leria took Ku's hand.

What do you want to start?

"Nah, what?

"I will terminate the contract as an inheritance of the Virgin's blood.Thank you for your hard work. "

Lilia said that to Ku, confused by Nicholas's smile.

Oh, is this a blood contract?Can you disarm it now?

……

"Say something!

After a while of silence, Leria couldn't stand it anymore.

Ahahaha. Realia, her face is bright red.

"No, no...That smile, that's what Kiira looked like when she laughed. "

"Really?I'm glad about that. "

"And... the words don't mean anything."

Huh?

"Hah... hey, give me your dagger."

What are you doing?

"Don't worry. I can't kill a Virgin by contract."

"Really? Well then...."

I don't know, so I gave Ku the dagger for now.

"Now, cut your fingertips a little.Just a little bit, okay?Just a little blood will suffice.Don't cut off your fingers like a Kiera idiot, okay?

Did you cut off your finger, Madame Saint?

"Yes, yes."

"It's dangerous....."

"Don't worry!To practice holy magic, you have to try it yourself.

That's what Leria did to her fingers for a little while.

"That's what Kiera said...That's why you weren't so scared of getting hurt. "

"Yes, so, is this all right?If it's not enough, I'll cut it more.

"Wait! That's it...Say what you just said while you're bleeding my hand. "

Ku stopped in a hurry after she tried to cut her finger again.

Ahaha. Ku, Leria's playing with me.

"Um... I'm going to cancel the contract as an heir to the Virgin's blood."

That said, the blood that Leria had dripped was no longer absorbed by Ku.

"Is this the end of the deal?

"Oh, now I'm free."

"Oh, how does it feel to be free?

"Nothing in particular. Kill him now."

"Huh? You still want to die?

You're so free.

Don't you want to eat something delicious?

"Of course. There is no point in me being alive until the curse of the contract is gone.So kill me. "

It's always been a dark life, so I wish I had a little fun before I died...

"No, even if it doesn't make sense, I won't let you die.I've decided to become a saint like Kiera.If there is someone in front of you, I will definitely help you. "

Leria said that and grabbed Cough's hand with both hands.

With that in mind, Cou looked at her with surprise.

Fufu. Could you fall in love with Leria this time?

"... then give me the meaning of life."

Ku looked like he had given up a little.

Not at all... honest.

"Eh? Ah, uh..."

"Lelia, give me whatever you want.Isn't it nice to be Leria's slave?

I'm happy with Leo's slaves, and maybe Ku would be happy with Leo's slaves.

"To the boulder...Uh, could you be my knight?Together, let's change the image of the demons. "

No. The slave has been rejected.

"... do you think the Pope won't forgive you?

"It's okay. Who do you think my father is?The next Pope? Nobody complains. "

"Ahahaha, you've lost Ku."

"Hmm. Sure.Next time, let me protect you. "

"Thank you!

"Give me your hand. A blood contract."

Huh? You're freed, and you're making another blood deal?

"You don't have to do that...?

"No. Absolutely."

Does it make sense that vampires have to sign a blood contract to protect people?

Next time, let's ask Leo.

"... I see.Please protect me.

"Oh, I swear I'll protect you for the rest of my life."

Leria bled again, and they swore to each other.

Yeah, that's the end of the tragedy.
