Leanne exhaled as she watched Cecilia leave.

For the time being, I was taking measures, but I honestly didn't think that the time would really come to use this.It was my first experience fighting with multiple treasures.I tried to see what would happen before I got here, but the battle itself was a hit.

But I can't cry.If you don't do it here, the woman will die.

Leanne unrolled Gilbert's treasure and smiled unstoppably to inspire herself.

Well then, Master Huey, let's do what we have to do.

"Nh.... that's it.You, why don't you stop playing with cats? "

Huh?

Without looking back, Leanne blinked her eyes.

Looking ahead to the door where the enemy would come, Hugh continued to speak.

"Maybe you care about me."I don't care which one of you it is.

Leanne blinks silently, not knowing how to answer.

"Besides, I also know that you're an unexpected, black, sexy woman."I like to tease people, I like interesting things above all else, I can only move for myself, and I also know that my habits and strange pride are high and I am surprisingly irritable. "

"You really seem to have been sporadically told..."

Leanne unintentionally winked, as she was told too much.

Whether he noticed her expression or not, Huey looked back halfway and made a slight smile just in his mouth.

“It's okay, I know you're my friend.”

……

"So, let's not worry about it."It's fine as it is, but I just wanted to say that you don't have to worry about it..... "

Are you embarrassed? At the end, she turned away and said so.

Looking at his back like that, Leanne pulled her lips up after a moment of silence.

"I also know that Master Huey is an unexpected crybaby, extremely shy, doesn't like his personality very much and can't catch up with him forever."

"... you..."

With a shivering voice, Huey looked back.

Leanne gave him a full smile.

"I also know that you like me."

Huey's lips bend to the letter to the left.Still, he did not deny Leanne's words.Perhaps that is the answer.

"But yes, indeed, I may have had my elbows strained in front of Master Huey."If you can say that, I won't refuse you anymore. "

Leanne revealed Oscar's sword and threw it at Huey.

Huey jumps and receives a splendid parabola.And he spun it around with his hand as if to check the feel.

With this, Huey, who wasn't a knight, could see the [barrier].This was something I've already seen many times before this operation.

And Leanne duplicates a large number of knives out of her pocket.

"Well then, let's do it again.... Let's go, Huey!"Let's show you our power! "

"Oh, we need to make that cheeky prince blow a whiff."

When the two of them pulled up their mouths at the same time, the door was opened to be kicked out, and a large number of people came in.

..◆◇◆

Behind this door, it becomes an altar!

With Mordred's guidance, Cecilia, Gilbert, and Oscar unhesitatingly followed in front of the door where the altar would be located.The three of them opened the door, leaving Mordred to guard the entrance.

There, there was a statue of a goddess similar to the one at the place where the [Sword of Selection] was located.And the water was flowing from the water bottle that the statue held.The water is stored in a large receptacle made of marble underneath.There was a hole in the bottom of the receptacle, which seemed to be pouring water somewhere.

And in front of it was an altar like a long desk made of marble as well.

At the center of the altar was an unnaturally thin, long hole.From the decorations around, I could see that I had a dagger in it, so I was sure of it.

In the middle of such an altar stood a woman with her back turned.

I've never seen a redhead before, but it's a tiny body.Slowly looking back, her face was hung with familiar glasses.

Cecilia is breathless of her appearance.

"Elsa-san..."

"I've been waiting for you." Cecil-sama. "

"After all, you were the first to steal the [Sword of Selection]."

She gave a gentle smile, as if to affirm the words.

Cecilia noticed this just before she was caught in a landslide.It was when Leanne and Prince Janice were discussing how they entered the temple and stole the Sword of Selection.Leanne said that Janice was "looking inside the temple in female clothes", and Cecilia denied that "the temple is well guarded, so unless she breaks through by force, she won't be able to break in".

So, how did Prince Janice get in in the first place!You were disguising yourself as someone related?

An unhappy Leanne's voice reverberates in her head.

That's right. Then how did he break into the temple, retrieve the [Sword of Selection], and leave the earrings behind?

There is only one answer. Perhaps there was an ally inside.

"Elsa-san, when the shower in my room broke, you scavenged the room a little, didn't you?"At that time, you found the map showing the location of the [Sword of Selection], didn't you? "

Well, I'll take a look, so please wait outside the room.

She said that and let Cecilia out of the room to check the shower.At that time, she must have scavenged Cecilia's room and found a piece of map paper.

Relying on the map, Elsa collected the [Sword of Selection] before the two of them.

"Maybe the ghost that was rumored in the temple was Elsa-san, right?"Prince Janice told you, "I've been looking for the [Sword of Selection]?"

"Yeah, that's right. Honestly, the ghost story was unexpected, but it was easier to act because fewer people walked at night.”

So, who called us in?

"I didn't find the Sword of Selection wherever I was looking, so I was hoping that you might open up something for me."... it was a rather hopeless attempt, but the results were beyond imagination. "

I regret having left a map in my room, though I could not have expected it.

I mean, you don't think so.I didn't know Elsa was an enemy who was so friendly with me.....

With that in mind, Cecilia opens her mouth

"Elsa-san, why! Could it be that you're in the [barrier] too..."

“Don't be ridiculous!”

That's what she said scoldingly.

"There's no way that Amiko will germinate the [barrier], right?"

Huh?

"Ahh, it looks like you haven't thought about it that much..."

Elsa smiled and then covered her face with her hands.

In a shorter time than a blink of an eye, she was transformed from a girl with an unbelievable smile to a tall, beautiful woman with long hair.

It's nice to meet you in this shape, Cecil-sama.

She shrugged her hair behind her with a glossy smile.

Even though she's supposed to be the same person, Elsa's personality, expression, and way of speaking are all different.

“My real name is Marguerite Obry.At the pinnacle of the Catholic Church, it is a symbol. Miko of today. "

And in her hands were seven bracelets of gold, which were not of Cecilia.I'm sure one of them would have faked her appearance.

Cecilia's eyes trembled with astonishment.

"Well then, what did you see that time, Kamiko?"Elsa..... "

"Amiko was in the back of the mausoleum, she was a doll."Elsa was actually a human being.She's a good girl who has always cared for me....... but he passed away months ago. "

Marguerite lowers her gaze sadly.

"Even though she was a good girl, why did she imitate herself?"But thanks to that, I was free. "

Could it be that she's been replaced since she died?

"Yes. I knew Lord Janice at that time."You must have tried to blossom my seeds.I think I noticed it at that time. "

Speaking of which, the nun who had come to the Sigogne salvage house said, 'Elsa was darker than now', 'Things have changed since a few months ago.'Cecilia and the others thought that the change in Elsa's character was due to Neil's book, but maybe because Elsa was no longer Elsa by that time, she looked like another nun.

"But why...?"

“I'm not going to tell you what I just met.Well, in a nutshell, I wanted freedom.And if I'm going to get my freedom, I'm going to take revenge on the church that took my freedom for decades. "

Having said that, she stretched her right hand straight to the side.At that moment, one of the seven treasures glows, and three distortions appear in the space.She puts her hand into the distortion.

"Do you know what you can do with your treasure and mine?"Can you do this? "

That's what she pulled out of her hand.

"Hey, thanks for waiting."

It was Prince Janice who came out of the crooked space.

Another distortion emerges from the man who called himself Nanashi.His disguise, which had disappeared from the venue of the evening party at some point, has already been solved.

And the third distortion that came out of it--

Oh no!

There were dozens of people who were invaded by the "barrier".

Nanashi stands in front of Janice to protect her.

Janice smiled in the same way as she did earlier, making a fool of herself.

Well then, it's the second round.
