𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟒𝟐: 𝐄𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐧𝐢 𝐒𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬
ㅤ
My name is Kyri・Inori.
I was a saint belonging to the Celestial Guidance Church.
ㅤ
But one day, I suddenly received a banishment from the crown prince.
After that, by the crown prince’s scheme, I was thrown into a dangerous area called the Abyss Forest.
ㅤ
But there, I learned that the monsters I met were not as bad as people say.
I met many monsters, and as a result of meeting the former forest leader, Ellison-sama, I became the new forest leader, the Holy Demon King.
ㅤ
After that, with some ups and downs, I saved the royal capital and returned to the Abyss Forest with my friends. . . . . .
ㅤ
🔸
ㅤ
A little over two weeks had passed since the turmoil in the royal capital when something happened one day.
I suddenly woke up.
ㅤ
『Ngaa』『Peeweei』『Slah』
ㅤ
Next to me is a fluffy sensation. On my chest, a warmth like a luxurious down comforter. And at my neck, I feel a softness like pudding.
ㅤ
“Oh. . . . . .I slept well.”
ㅤ
When I sit up, I see that there are 3 monsters around me.
ㅤ
『Shichu. . . . . .umee. . . . . .munyamunya. . . . . .』
ㅤ
This slightly small bear is Kumakichi-kun.
The son of a bear monster I first met when I came to this forest.
ㅤ
『Pyuu~. . . . . .pyurii~. . . . . .pyuu~. . . . . .』
ㅤ
A small, round bird. . . . . .like a monster.
This is Guu-chan, the baby griffon.
ㅤ
One of the Holy Zodiac, Mrs. Syndulla’s son.
The Holy Zodiac are 12 powerful monsters named by the first Holy Demon King Ellison-sama.
ㅤ
『Mnyaa-suraa』
ㅤ
And finally, Sura-chan, the slime. A gluttonous baby slime that can eat anything.
ㅤ
I’m usually with these guys.
These little ones are more clingy to me than other monsters.
ㅤ
Maybe because they’re little kids?
I don’t mind it. I think they’re cute. I’m not scared at all.
ㅤ
I sleep with them almost every day.
ㅤ
“Well. . . . . .I must do my morning prayers.”
ㅤ
I change into my clothes and leave the room.
I walk alone through the old church.
ㅤ
This is a small church that Ellison-sama used.
There are several rooms, and I can tell that Ellison-sama lived here as well.
ㅤ
I head to the chapel.
There is a statue of the God Noir.
ㅤ
The God I believe in, Noir-sama.
I hear He is compassionate and wise.
ㅤ
When God Noir descended to the earth, He solved everything with His great magic.
As a result, a paradise on earth was created where there was no hunger or sickness. . . . . .
ㅤ
Ah, wonderful.
God Noir is amazing.
ㅤ
Oh, right. Prayer.
ㅤ
“Noir-sama. Please watch over us for a peaceful day.”
ㅤ
And at that moment, as I was praying.
A strong force flows into my body.
I know this sensation.
ㅤ
“God Noir, is there someone seeking divine salvation somewhere?”
ㅤ
God always watches over us on earth.
But God is basically in heaven and rarely descends to earth (or almost never does).
ㅤ
There, a being is needed to listen to God’s will and settle the troubles on Earth.
That’s the saint. In other words, me.
ㅤ
I have received a revelation from the God Noir.
Save the weak who seek God, He says.
ㅤ
“Where is this. . . . . .?”
ㅤ
When I open my eyes, I’m in a forest.
Probably in the Abyss Forest.
ㅤ
And nearby, a river flows.
On a large rock, someone was leaning.
ㅤ
“A person. . . . . .? No, it’s different. Is that. . . . . .a horn?”
ㅤ
A person clad in something like armor was leaning against the rock.
But from his forehead, a magnificent horn was protruding.
ㅤ
“! He’s injured! Terrible!”
ㅤ
The person with the horn had lost one arm and one leg.
With the remaining arm, he was holding something dearly.
ㅤ
“Hey! Are you okay?!”
ㅤ
I shake that person’s shoulder.
A beautiful person with red hair. . . . . .a person? No, it’s different.
ㅤ
It looks human, but a horn grows from its head.
Also, the skin is slightly copper-colored, so I knew it’s not human.
ㅤ
So what?
I can’t ignore anyone who’s injured, no matter who they are.
ㅤ
I received great power from God.
This power is to save all lives living on Earth.
ㅤ
I am convinced that it is given to me by God Noir for that purpose.
So whether this child is human or not, it doesn’t matter.
ㅤ
“God, please save this person.”
ㅤ
I close my eyes and pray hard.
That prayer was immediately answered.
ㅤ
I feel a wave of strong power.
Eventually, when I open my eyes. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Ugh. . . . . .”
“Are you okay?”
“. . . . . .Ah, I am indebted.”
ㅤ
The missing parts are restored, and the injuries are completely healed.
Then I realized that this child is quite handsome.
ㅤ
Sharp eyes, beautiful skin.
A sharp fang protruding from the mouth.
ㅤ
“! Right! My sister! Please help my sister! She’s in worse condition than me!”
ㅤ
He thrusts the bundle he was holding dearly towards me.
But. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Haa. . . . . .big sister?”
“! She’s alive?! She’s alive, isn’t she?!”
ㅤ
Big sister. . . . . .So this person is a girl?
She looks like a cool boy.
ㅤ
“Yes. But, that’s strange? My chest doesn’t hurt at all!”
“Really?!”
“Yes! I’m not even coughing!”
ㅤ
In the bundle is a small child who still looks like a baby.
That child also had a horn growing from its forehead.
ㅤ
“I’m glad. . . . . .! Oh, I’m glad. . . . . .!”
“Big sister?”
ㅤ
The child hugs her sister tightly.
But soon. . . . . .the elder sister fainted.
ㅤ
“! Are you okay?!”
ㅤ
Goooooo~~~~~~~~~~~~. . . . . .
ㅤ
A loud sound of a growling stomach.
Probably. . . . . .She was hungry.
ㅤ
Was she washed away in the river?
She ended up here, exhausted. . . . . .like this.
ㅤ
『Big Sister!』
ㅤ
Thump thump thump! Kumakichi-kun came running towards me.
On his head were Guu-chan and Sura-chan.
ㅤ
『Come on! Big Sister disappears all the time. If you’re going out, you have to tell me, or mom will kill me!』
ㅤ
Kumakichi-kun is angry, pouting.
I’m sorry.
ㅤ
“I’m sorry. But, I heard a voice calling for help.”
『Hmm. . . . . .Is that so?』
ㅤ
He points to the fallen big sister with his nose.
ㅤ
“Yes. Kumakichi-kun, put her on your back.”
『Well, if Big Sister Kyrie says so. . . . . .but this guy’s an Oni, you know?』
ㅤ
A Oni. . . . . .?
ㅤ
“What do you mean, Oni?”
『The Tree King said so. It’s scary, a man-eating monster.』
ㅤ
Man-eating. . . . . .?
She didn’t look like a bad child.
ㅤ
She was crying and happy that her sister was saved. . . . . .?
ㅤ
“Big Sister’s not a man-eater! She’s kind!”
ㅤ
Wrapped in a blanket, the little sister Oni says angrily.
I pick up the little sister and smile at her.
ㅤ
“That’s right. She didn’t look like a bad person. . . . . .no, a bad Oni.”
“Right! Just like OBig Sister says!”
ㅤ
I believe there are no bad people among those who care for their family.
Whether it’s a monster or a human, it doesn’t matter.
ㅤ
『Hmm. . . . . .If Big Sister Kyrie says so, I’ll believe it.』
ㅤ
Kumakichi-kun grabs the elder sister Oni’s collar in his mouth, and puts her on his back.
I walk next to them, together.
ㅤ
『What will we do now?』
“We’ll take these kids home. First, we’ll have a meal.”
『Will big brother Chatura and mom forgive us?』
ㅤ
People might be concerned because Onis are thought to eat humans.
But it’ll be okay.
ㅤ
“They’ll understand if we explain.”
『Really? . . . . . .Well, if Big Sister Kyrie says so, it’ll be okay!』
ㅤ
And thus, I met the Oni sisters.
