When I went after Estia, there was a formal entrance to the stables that I didn't even know was there, not the training grounds for the Maiden of War Saints.

"... you went in here, didn't you? Why did Estia need to come to the stables?

As I leaned my neck, I gently opened the door at the entrance to the stables.

Sometimes the stables were at night, and although it felt dim with minimal demon lights on, the sight was well secured.

Moving on with a gaze, there was Estea's appearance there, seemingly peeking at the horse house one at a time.

"No one, including Mr. Yambas, the administrator? Is that just a horse you're looking for? Or are you looking for Forenoir"

Doubts come to mind one after the other, but Estea, who finished peeking into the horse house, looked disappointed and turned back here.

I quickly hid myself in the empty stable.

All the horses were asleep once I checked all the horse barns before chasing Estea, who was leaving the stables in a way I didn't notice.

"Estea put you to sleep?

Did it mean anything to put you to sleep?

Thinking that far, I made sure Mr. Yambas and his two breeders were asleep at the berth.

"Estea put you to sleep?

I put on a cover and decided to wake the three of us up.

"Huh? Isn't that Luciel?"

"Good evening, Mr. Yambas. Were you taking a nap while you were on duty?

"... Was I asleep?

"Yes. Don't you remember?

"Oh my god! Hey, you guys, get up."

Mr. Yambas woke up the two breeders and went for a peek at the horse house.

"Did Estea put you to sleep, or did the Dark Spirit let you do so... even though the Pope told you, was it right to bring you, do we have to know Estea's purpose"

I didn't feel like heading to the labyrinth of trials and decided to go back to my room in solidarity with Mr. Yambas.

Back in my room I was honestly surprised.

"? Estia, why are you here? How do you know this is my room?

Estea was waiting for me in front of my room.

Estia started talking like she was in a little trouble when she heard from me.

"Dear Luciel, I have a favor to ask. Could you please let me see that horse again?

"... that's Forenoir when it comes to that horse, isn't it?

"Yes, this is Lucielle's black horse."

When I finished saying that, Estia bowed her head.

"Let's be honest. I'm on guard about Estia."

"What?"

He looks really surprised with his face up.

If this is an act, you mean you can't see through the lies all the time.

That makes a dent...... spinning words with that in mind.

"Even in the Dwarf kingdom, Estia, there were those who lost your memory. And this time you walk to the stables without hesitation, and there is a grip as to how to deal with the instructions of the Dark Spirit or with the help of the Dark Spirit that you put Mr. Yambas and the horses to sleep."

Whether the Spirit of Darkness is saving Estia's predicament or not, if it's being used in a bad direction, we have to make a decision.

Beginning with the Pope, evil against Church officials must be removed. I'm the only one who can do that because it's not going to be a state anomaly, and I'm responsible for bringing Estia here.

But Estia, I had an unexpected reaction.

"... Huh - I'll do it with Luciel. Let me see your sister because I will protect you too."

"... what are you talking about?! Isn't that Estea?

"You're realizing that, aren't you? I wanted to see my sister, so I borrowed Estia's body to visit her."

Unlike earlier, less than half the pressure started to hang on me.

"Is that the Spirit of Darkness? Why would you imitate that to be possessed by Estia's body? Besides, it must have been the real Estea talking earlier."

"Wow. I didn't know you knew that much. Until recently, Estia was awake."

I started hearing voices double because I was possessed by Estia's body.

"... what's your purpose? What are you talking about with your sister? What more are you trying to make Estia do?"

"You don't just ask questions. Nothing. Estia's just tired of listening. I guided him there and moved him to the stables, just to sleep the people I met for this kid I know. I didn't do anything wrong."

"It may be trivial if you guys think by the Spirit's measure, but what we're letting Estia do is interfere with the people who are performing their duties. You don't realize we're pushing Estea?

"Huh. Okay. My purpose is to meet my sister and apologize. I want you to meet my sister on this street."

A dark spirit possessed by Estea bowed her head.

I never felt the usual pride the spirits had, I felt a little clapped out, but when I integrate what the dark spirits have been saying from earlier, there is only one being called my sister.

"Forenoir is you... are you going to be the sister of the Spirit of Darkness?

"Yes. So please"

I activated the Sanctuary Circle, Dispel and Recover without chanting.

"It's thoughtful to see if it's evil."

The spirits of darkness, who would be possessed by Estea, laughed uncomfortably.

"... that's not working at all"

"I'm often mistaken for the spirit of darkness, but I'm not evil."

"... sounds like it"

"Please, let me see your sister"

"This will not be in vain, but can you swear not to harm Forenoir as a Spirit"

"There's no way I would do that to my sister... I swear"

For a moment, but believing in the Spirit of Darkness, who showed a human-like gesture, I took out the keys to the concealer and opened them, albeit in the hallway.

"Talk to me from here. Unless Forenoir wants to leave himself..."

Forenoir came out of the stables of the concealer before I told him everything and blew Estia's body off.

"Forenoir, calm down. Aside from Estia's body and the Spirit of Darkness, I guess?

He remained a little excited when I could forgive him as he stroked his neck, but Forenoir never broke out.

"Ugh."

When my consciousness returned to Estea now, it was going to be the same thing, so when I heeled it, the Spirit of Darkness moved to stop her from replacing Estea, and I could see considerable exhaustion.

At the next moment Estia's body appeared wrapped around the black light, and Forenoir wrapped around the white light to respond to it, stopping moving as we stared at each other.

All I could do was watch it.

Without hearing a voice, I could see the two of us talking alone.

"Thank you, my lord. And entrust Estia's body with it. I'll show my face again when my powers return."

When I said that, Estea fell on me like the thread was broken, so I supported her, and Forenoir went into the stables of the Hidden.

"I don't know what that means anymore, but what am I supposed to do?

I didn't want to be unnecessarily suspicious, so I remembered that it was Mr. Granhardt's job to take the hearing, and I had no choice but to go to Mr. Granhardt's room and transport Estea to the room.

"I could have predicted that this would happen... but it's terrible."

To show the power of the Spirit of Darkness in various ways, he was to proceed while awakening about twenty church officials who had fallen asleep in the hallway by the time he reached Mr. Granhardt's room.

"Mr. Granhardt can easily imagine being put to sleep if this... I have no choice but to take you to Mr. Rosa."

When I visited the dining room, I finished cleaning up the dining room, discovered Rosa and the others on the way home, and decided to ask for Estia.

"Excuse me, I have a lot of problems when I take care of her, so I need you to show me to my room"

"Then I'll keep it here. Master Luciel and the others will be mocking tomorrow, and I'll take care of her."

Ms. Rosa laughed, holding Estia as a princess, and walked away.

I dropped it off while I dropped off Rosa's manly back.

"Next time I'll invite you to the clothes store to present your clothes"

Whimpering like that, I decided to go back to my room.

It was me full of heads about Forenoir, but if I didn't know what to think, I'd throw a spoon and sleep with the power of an angel's pillow.
