ㅤ
At Kai Pagos, the curse on Mr. Kyoshin, Decker-chan’s father, was lifted.
Right after that.
ㅤ
『Big sister! There are still enemies around!』
ㅤ
Thunder Wolf Wanko-chan cries out.
In the air, something like a mist gathers. . . . . .
ㅤ
It became multiple armored warriors.
That is. . . . . .evil spirits.
ㅤ
People who left regrets in this world.
ㅤ
『Damn youuuuuuuuuu!』『Killllllllll!』『More, moreeeeeeeeeeeeee!』
ㅤ
Three armored warriors attack us.
ㅤ
“I will not let this being be killed. . . . . .!”
ㅤ
Mr. Kyoshin swings his fist.
A powerful strike that cuts the wind. . . . . .
ㅤ
But it doesn’t hit the evil spirit, it passes right through.
On the contrary. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Aaaaaaaargh!”
“Daddy!”
ㅤ
Mr. Kyoshin falls to the ground, his face twisted in agony.
This is bad. . . . . .!
ㅤ
I offer a prayer to the God Noir.
Then, the curse is instantly lifted. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Troublesome indeed. . . . . .I can’t hit the evil spirits with my attacks, but they can still hit me. . . . . . Well, it can’t be helped since they have no physical form.”
ㅤ
Mr. Gankoji says, glaring at the evil spirits.
His girlfriend’s father was harmed, so it’s natural for him to be angry.
ㅤ
“Miss Kyrie, use Falchion.”
“Falchion. . . . . . You mean the sword of God Noir that I picked up earlier?”
“That’s right. The holy sword Falchion can cut anything, even if it has no physical form.”
ㅤ
. . . . . .I see.
The sword of God Noir can cut and cleanse the evil spirits. . . . . .and.
ㅤ
『That’s good.』
ㅤ
Sura-chan spits out Falchion from his mouth.
I take it in my hands and stand before the evil spirits.
ㅤ
『Damn youuuuuuuuuu!』『Killllllllll!』『Moreeeeeeeeeeeeee!』
ㅤ
I take Falchion in my hand and ready myself.
Then the blade emits a divine glow.
ㅤ
“Falchion receives the owner’s magic and enhances it! Now swing it! Cut down your enemies!”
ㅤ
I raise the holy sword. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Sura-chan, eat it.”
『Okay.』
ㅤ
With a snap, Sura-chan takes it back in her mouth.
“What are you doinggggggg?! Why return it?!”
“Swords are dangerous, aren’t they?”
“Dangerous you sayyy?!”
ㅤ
I spread my arms and talked to the evil spirits. . . . . . No, the spirits.
ㅤ
“If you have something to say, I’ll listen. I am Kyrie, a woman who serves God. If I can save you from your suffering, use my body as you like.”
『Big Sister! That’s dangerous! Run!』
ㅤ
I turn and say.
ㅤ
“I’m not running. These people must have some reason. I want to listen.”
ㅤ
Leaving regrets in this world means something painful has happened.
Just talking to someone might make it a little easier.
ㅤ
“Come. . . . . .here.”
『Uh, uoooooo!』
ㅤ
The spirits enter my body.
My body goes limp. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Oh no. . . . . .Miss Kyrie has been possessed by evil spirits!”
“Kyrie-sama. . . . . .! What should we do. . . . . .”
ㅤ
And then. . . . . .
ㅤ
『Uh, uuuuu. . . . . .』
ㅤ
I. . . . . . or rather, the spirits that possessed me, started to cry.
ㅤ
『You’re the first one who stayed with us without hating us, and the only one who listened without fear. . . . . .』『You entrusted your body to evil spirits, that means you trusted us. . . . . .』
ㅤ
Suu. . . . . .and the ghosts come out of my body.
Everyone. . . . . .was crying.
ㅤ
“Are you okay. . . . . .you. . . . . .?”
ㅤ
Mr. Kyoshin asks me.
“Yes, I’m fine.”
ㅤ
For a moment, when I was possessed, I felt like I was in a different space.
It must have been the spirit world.
ㅤ
That’s where I listened to the stories of these three swordsmen.
ㅤ
“Unbelievable. . . . . .Even though being possessed means being controlled by hatred, losing oneself. . . . . .You are calm. Are you. . . . . .a Goddess?”
ㅤ
Again. . . . . .I’m misunderstood!
I have to tell Mr. Kyoshin properly.
ㅤ
“No, I am just a messenger of God. Now. . . . . .spirits, rest in peace.”
ㅤ
I pray for them.
May they live happily and peacefully in the next life. . . . . .and.
ㅤ
That’s when it happens.
A gust of wind blows with a swoosh. . . . . .
ㅤ
“””Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?”””
ㅤ
What’s going on. . . . . .?
When I open my eyes. . . . . .an unbelievable sight meets my eyes.
ㅤ
The three swordsmen. . . . . .were there.
The ghosts from earlier!
ㅤ
“Huh?!”
ㅤ
What’s happening?!
ㅤ
“Eh, eh, wh, what happened. . . . . .?”
ㅤ
Mr. Gankoji, who was watching nearby, said with a look of astonishment.
ㅤ
“M ,Miss’ hair. . . . . .has changed.”
“What?! My, hair. . . . . .?”
“Yes. When Miss prayed, the wind blew. At that moment, the hair floated in the air, it shone brightly, and the swordsmen appeared.”
ㅤ
What does that mean?!
ㅤ
“I, I can’t believe it. . . . . .a physical body. . . . . .! I have a body!”
“My body is moving! Why?!”
ㅤ
The ghosts. . . . . .no, the former ghosts are confused.
But I don’t understand either. . . . . .!
ㅤ
“Perhaps. . . . . .they have incarnated.”
“Incarnated. . . . . .?”
“I’ve heard of such a tale. Long ago, there was an item cursed. . . . . .called a cursed object. Those who took it in were controlled by the curse. They call it incarnation.”
ㅤ
Huh. . . . . .
So what does that mean?
ㅤ
“Probably. . . . . .the ghosts that possessed Miss Kyrie, used her hair as a medium, and manifested in this world.”
“My, hair, as a medium?!”
“The hair of a Goddess. It can anchor the soul, and it may be possible to descend again into this world.”
ㅤ
I don’t. . . . . .understand!
Eh, what? What’s happening?!
ㅤ
The swordsmen kneel before me.
ㅤ
“My name is Athos.””I am Aramis.””I am Porthos.”
ㅤ
Huh. . . . . .
Hmm? Somehow, it sounds like. . . . . .I’ve heard these names before. . . . . .
ㅤ
“The legendary swordsmen?! The ones who defeated the evil dragon a long time ago. . . . . .those?!”
ㅤ
Athos, that’s right, he’s one of the dragon-slaying three swordsmen!
How come such a hero. . . . . .?
ㅤ
“We were headed to slay the wicked dragon, but there was a time when we couldn’t save the princess, who was our client. That regret was what bound us to the earth. . . . . .”
ㅤ
I, I see. . . . . .?
ㅤ
“Thanks to Kyrie-sama, our regret has been cleared. And now, we, Athos the Three Musketeers, will serve you!”
ㅤ
. . . . . . Uh, um. . . . . .
Wh, why has this happened. . . . . .?
