Master Cecily has── disappeared.

"... eh?"

No matter what I was told, I was prepared not to be surprised.

Still, my thoughts stopped for a moment. So much has happened.

"Cecilie-chan... disappeared?"

"Yes, correctly, it is better to── say that Cecily is nowhere to be found." I went to wake Master Cecily up in the morning. "

"So when I went to the room, you said Cecily wasn't there?" Is there any possibility of mistake? "

Asked, Abby shook her head vertically.

"Yes, Master Eliane is right. It could be my early start. But... the moment I entered Cecilie-sama's room, I didn't like it..."

Disgusting?

"Yes, I think you should see it soon." Let's go! "

and Abby pulls my arm.

──Of course, as Abby said, it's also possible that she's early.

It is decided that you are better.

But when I heard this story, my heartbeat became noisy.

Without Abby, we're going to fall here.

"I see... let's hurry!"

I don't have time to change my clothes.

I rushed out of the room in my sleeping suit to Cecilie-chan's room.

"I hope nothing happens...!"

I hope so──, but the closer you get to Cecilie-chan's room, the more unpleasant it gets.

And arrived in front of her room. We opened the door vigorously and entered the room.

──There's nothing wrong with it, Cecilie-chan's room.

It didn't look particularly messy, but there was a stuffed animal rolling on the floor that looked like me.

But nothing is── important.

"Cecily-chan..."

I ──can't see her!

It was a strange feeling, as if the room insisted── that it was natural, as if it had not been there from the beginning.

"After all, have you already headed to the courtyard?" That said, even if it's worn out by the time you get here, it's not strange, but... just in case, shall we go look for it in the courtyard? "

"That's right..."

I feel dizzy.

I wonder why.

My heart was filled with such despair── that I would never see Cecily again.

Still, I managed to regain my mind and try to leave the room behind... "

Eliane

A voice echoed in his head.

"Goddess..."

I think you have a faint sense of it, but I was convinced when I saw the remnant of── this divine magic power. The worst has happened. Cecily disappeared......]

said the── goddess.

The power of the [White Snake] is involved.

Then I immediately went to Nigel and told him that Cecily was gone.

Of course, the [White Snake]──.

Upon hearing that, Nigel immediately convened an urgent meeting to gather His Majesty the King and his ministers.

"If I'm not in the── castle, I might be in the city." They continued their search for Cecilie in the castle. The knights want you to find the whole city. If you don't have enough manpower, you can send a request to the adventurer. I'm sorry to keep you busy in the morning──, but please. She's my precious sister. Okay, I'll leave the meeting to you. "

Nigel says so at the end of the meeting. Everyone in the conference room was scattered, and Cecilie-chan was searched.

Ladies and gentlemen, move around in a hurry. I'm sure you sincerely hope that Cecily-chan is safe.

"Oh, oh... it's Cecily..."

Among them was the figure of His Majesty the King.

It looked quite wolfy.

"Your Majesty, why don't you rest in your room for once?" At this rate, you will fall by the time Cecily-sama is found. "

and the minister who was nearby supported the king's body.

"Well, I don't know if I have time to do that... I'm going to find Cecily.──"

Fuzzy, the king was about to fall to the floor.

Your Majesty!

Nigel suddenly enters to help the King.

"Leave it to me."── I'm sure Cecilie will find you, but I need you to take your Majesty to your room. ”

Got it.

No, I don't want to. I don't want to.──

The King seems to be unexplained, but leaves the room to be dragged away by the minister.

As a matter of course, His Majesty the King lacked calm in── this affair.

”Hmm... even though I'm already old, my father's going to do something stupid.”

Nigel exhales, comes to me and talks like this.

"Elaine... are you okay?"

"... yes. I'm safe. But now I'm Cecilie-chan. Is it really possible to find her? I can't see you again like this.──"

It's okay.

Nigel embraces my body, which is about to cry.

Fluffy softness envelops your body.

He gently stroked my head to reassure me.

"Cecilie is a strong boy. They'll come back to us and laugh like usual."

"... yes"

Normally, feeling Nigel's warmth makes me a little uneasy, but I can't do it── right now.

The anxiety never completely disappeared.

I don't know what's going on with Cecily while I'm doing this.

Cecilie's smile floats in her brain.

The circus was fun! I want to come back!

She seemed really happy when she was watching the circus.

When I think of that time, I naturally loosen my cheeks.

It's not just Cecily! Douglas and Abby, you and me... Ralph are coming with us! ”

Honeymoon.

Not just with Nigel, but with Cecilie and everyone else.

The place is in the country of the East.

There, you can taste delicious food and visit tourist destinations. When I thought of everyone laughing, my heart burst out.

──But there was no Cecilie next to it.

Without her, there is no point. When I think about it, my chest hurts.

"I want to see you..."

I noticed that word in my mouth.

"I want to eat something more delicious with Cecily." I want to travel to a far country together. I want to see her smile more and more, that's not── why I'm depressed here. ”

I took my face off Nigel's chest and wiped the tears floating in my eyes with my arms.

“Thank you, Nigel. Your help has made it clear what I need to do. I want to see Cecily── again. You mustn't stop here to fulfill that wish.”

"Yeah, I'm glad you're back to your usual Elijah. That's why I like you."

and Nigel laugh.

──Then let's start by sorting out the situation.

"The others continued to search for Cecily-chan." Maybe you're just lost somewhere. ”

"I see. They're all desperate to find me."

By the way... Ralph and Douglas heard this story and immediately jumped out of the castle.

Ralph ran around the city.

Douglas came from the sky.

But... the fact that Douglas hasn't spoken to you about it doesn't mean that the results won't be good.

You all want to see Cecily-chan, too.

"Of course. She was loved by everyone.── I think everyone was looking for me spontaneously, even if I didn't order them."

If we're allocating so much personnel to the search, we've decided what we need to do.

We'll hit the [White Snake].

Yeah, that's right.

As I said, Nigel shook his head vertically.

Until now, the things that have disappeared are bags and clock towers.

However, from that time on, I was afraid that this would spread to other people.

Worst of all, it became a reality.

"Kill the [White Snake] and everything will be back to normal." However, because of that, the divine punishment may be meted out and the Lynchgi ham may be extinguished...... "

That's right.

Here you can hear the── goddess's voice. I also bless Nigel with a goddess and share her voice with him.

In order to solve the── situation with the goddess, you should have hit the opposite force from the [White Snake] and rebuilt it, right?

Yes.

The goddess replied.

"In the meantime, is Cecily somewhere?" Could it have disappeared without a trace... "

No, that's impossible. If it's really gone, there's no reason for it to return to its original place when the [White Snake] stops exercising its power. The White Snake has no such power.

And the goddess continues to do so, as if to dispel my worries.

Cecily's whereabouts can't be identified yet. However, it seems that they are temporarily somewhere in the── God Realm that is completely different from here. "

A place where there are supposed to be gods, including── goddesses in the goddess world.

Since it is a different dimension from here, the flow of time will also be different. So I don't think anything will happen to Cecily...... "

But Cecilie's been waiting on her own for a long time.

Now, when Nigel asks,

You don't have to think that way.

and the goddess replied.

So is it possible to meet the── [White Snake]? That could be a good way to do it. ”

Besides... it's possible that Cecilie is there too.

In order for you humans to go there, [Entrance] is needed. Anyway, in order for a human to go to the Divine Realm, such as the clock tower, [Entrance] would be essential. Cecilie passed through there and went to the Divine Realm where the [White Snake] was and disappeared from── this world.

But as long as you find it, I will guide you to where Cecily is. ”

Alright, let's find the [Entrance] in parallel with our search for the power to fight the [White Snake].

Yes, I'm sorry, if I had a little more power.──

"No, no, there must be a lot of goddesses, too."

I can't blame her.

"Alright... let's do our best. In the meantime, I'll try to find a scholar who seems to know something about the evil gods."

"Please, I will go to the library and search for a book about the legacy of the evil gods." That way, we may be closer to the presence of those who use the power of God. ”

Yeah, I'm begging you.

The light of hope is about to vanish at any moment.

But don't always look down.

We decided to leave the conference room together.
