The Contractor of the New Sister Devil

"Don't thank me for this kind of thing... I just did what I thought was right at best."

but--

"I still think it's weird... Why do you pick me here at this time?"

Since she wanted to thank her as soon as possible, she had to say it when she agreed to the request of Mio and others to temporarily return to Tokyo under the condition of cohabitation surveillance. There was no need to go in such a big circle.If there is-at this time, Mio said the possibility that appeared in Celise's heart.

"Because-if I thank you in front of the people in the "village", will it cause you trouble?"

indeed.Suppose Mio thanked Celis in front of the "village" people.The elders may think that the "Vatican" made judgments in favor of the daughter of the former demon king, and use this as a material for offense.

Could it be that they anticipated my idea and pushed the situation in the most favorable direction?

...No.

In this way, another question will arise.

"Then, why did you specifically designate me to come after the report to the "Vatican"? Since I want to come as soon as possible, wouldn’t it be better for me to come first? Isn’t it the intention to show a cooperative attitude, I hope I will say in the report A few good words?"

Seeing Celis having such a question-

"The people they sent to be interrogators shouldn't take this one."

Miao smiled bitterly and answered:

"Besides, we don't want to argue with you about political matters... This time we came to the "village" just to express our most sincere demands. Although we have no way of knowing how much the elders have listened to, I Miss Leohart...If it were you, you would be able to understand us."

"…………why?"

Celis asked because she couldn't believe it.

"What makes you think this way? I'm the person who went to the "village" to deal with political issues on behalf of the "Vatican"... You could see it at the meeting yesterday, right?"

"Politics is a matter of great significance in every sentence. Sometimes you have to carry some lies... What you say on that occasion does not represent you as a person."

but--

"When the sudden attack on the blade called Sibo, I saw that you wanted to protect the blade; and the blade, Yuxi, and Walnut said that you don't have to worry about you... you are a trustworthy person. Although I am not familiar with you, But Rengen, Yuxi, and Walnut all know what you are, so—"

Miao smiled and said:

"This way-it's enough for me to trust you."

Listening to Mio said without hesitating--

"——————————"

Celis Redohart was completely silent this time, re-examining Mio.

...It turns out that this is...

Celis felt that she had also begun to understand why Bladegen and the others were willing to bet on all protection.

"So, Miss Redohart... that--"

When Mio was about to continue explaining--

"...Just call me Celise."

Celis allowed Min to call her directly.Celis couldn't be like Mio, because the judgments of several people trusted her.After all, Naruse Mio inherited the lineage and power of Wilbert, the strongest demon king.

……but.

It is not just Miao who knows Rengen, Yuxi and Walnut, Celis also has a long relationship with them.Although in this incident, due to the political rivalry between the two parties, she was unable to laugh together innocently like she did when she was a child, she personally believed in the determination of a few blades.So-Celis decided that since they all believe in Mio so much and agree that she is a person worth protecting, then they should face her sincerely.At this time--

"Thank you... Then, uh, Celise, can I help you brush your back?"

"Wow, trouble you."

After Selise finished speaking, she walked through the middle of the bath and walked towards the rock pile set as the washing area, but it didn't take two steps-the bath towel rolled on her body was suddenly torn off.Celis couldn't react at first--

"Huh-ah ah ah ah?"

After a moment of daze, he screamed and retracted into the hot spring.

"You, what are you doing!"

Naruse Mio watched Celis turned her head flushed and asked her guilt, thinking--

...It's strange not to be angry.

However, it was only a matter of time before Celise fell into the hands of that loli-seed dreamer. If it was for her good-she should strengthen her resistance as much as possible in advance.

...Say it again.

As far as Mio is concerned, even though she didn't know each other since she was a child like Celis, she would like to take this opportunity to make friends with Celis.Of course, this is not a simple matter.

At first, Mio and Youxi had a hostile relationship with Walnut-but because of this, the true feelings of the two parties can sparkle, and after several tossings, they cultivated the close relationship that appeared.

However, the relationship between Mio and Celis was founded on political issues from the very beginning; and Celis was appointed as an interrogator who specializes in dealing with political issues, and she must know how to suppress personal affairs.To cultivate a true friendship with Celis like this, you have to elicit her true feelings before making progress.Therefore, Miao carried the bath towel snatched from Celis and smiled--

"Don't you want me to brush my back? Of course the bath towels must be removed first."

And said so without blushing and breathing.

"It's not too late when I get to the washing area and then take it away—!"

As a result, Celis also yelled and reached out to grab Miao's bath towel.At least, now Celis has exposed a little bit of her true feelings-when Mio is satisfied with it-

"The naughty naughty egg you just mentioned is actually you!"

But Celis's unexpected counterattack was hit from a tricky angle.

"Please! I really can't listen to this!"

Being compared with that loli dreamer, Mio Naruse yelled in embarrassment.

The noise of the girls coming and going reverberated in the valley where the setting sun was sinking.

After watching a few Miao go to the open-air hot spring.

Dongcheng Ren stayed alone in his living room to gauge the situation thereafter.

He handed the weight of his whole body to the back of the chair and sat on the sofa, looked at the ceiling and thought--

...At least the worst has been avoided.

If the blade loses even more to Celis, the matter will develop into a full-scale conflict between the "village" and the "Vatican", and Celis may still be killed under Spoel's.
