ㅤ
I was the one who lifted Miss Vajra’s curse.
“Now that we’re done, you should leave, Vajra.”
ㅤ
Mr. Chatura growls and glares at Miss Vajra.
ㅤ
“Are you not friends? Stop speaking so coldly.”
“Kyrie-sama. . . . . .But this person, she killed Ellison-sama. . . . . .”
“I don’t think she did.”
ㅤ
Since I didn’t actually witness Ellison-sama’s murder, I can’t see Miss Vajra as a villain.
Miss Vajra speaks in a somewhat serious tone.
ㅤ
“I’d love to leave, but I’m caught up in some trouble.”
“Trouble. . . . . .?”
“Yeah. I’m being pursued by the 13 Apostles.”
“The Thirteen. . . . . .Apostles? You mentioned them earlier as well.”
ㅤ
Then, Miss Martel steps in front of me.
ㅤ
“So you’re saying you want protection from the 13 Apostles, right?”
“Exactly, you got it. It’s nice to deal with someone who understands quickly.”
ㅤ
Then. . . . . .
Bam! Mr. Chatura, transformed into Fenrir, lunges at Miss Vajra!
ㅤ
“Stop!”
“Don’t do it.”
ㅤ
Snap!
Thud!
ㅤ
Mrs. Kumako grabs Mr. Chatura by the scruff of the neck and slams him to the ground!
ㅤ
“Thank you. . . . . .But Mrs. Kumako, violence isn’t the answer!”
“Dogs need discipline. Besides, if I hadn’t stopped him, Chatura would’ve seriously bitten off Hakutaku’s head over there.”
ㅤ
. . . . . .Already.
Why can’t everyone just get along. . . . . . . . . . .
ㅤ
We’re all monsters here. . . . . .
ㅤ
『Big Sister, don’t cry!』
“Huh. . . . . .? Oh. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Kumakichi-kun points out that I’m crying.
Because monsters are fighting among themselves. . . . . .
ㅤ
『Big Sister, you can fluff me! You’ll feel better!』
ㅤ
. . . . . .Alright.
I take Kumakichi-kun up on his offer and hug him.
ㅤ
Fluffy. . . . . .
Fluffy. It’s calming. . . . . .
ㅤ
“I’m sorry. . . . . .Kyrie-sama. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Mr. Chatura turns back into a human, sits properly, and bows his head.
ㅤ
“I had no intention of making you cry. . . . . .”
ㅤ
I know.
Mr. Chatura is a kind person.
ㅤ
He’s doing all this to protect the people of the forest.
ㅤ
“Then let’s get along.”
“I will do my best.”
ㅤ
He looked very reluctant.
It seems there’s still lingering tension between the two.
ㅤ
“So, Vajra, what’s the deal with these 13 Apostles you’re running from?”
ㅤ
Mrs. Kumako asks.
Then Miss Vajra scratches her head. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Actually, never mind.”
“What?! What do you mean, ‘never mind’?”
“Well, it looks like I’m more disliked than I thought. So, I’m leaving.”
ㅤ
With a wave, Miss Vajra says her goodbyes.
Can she really just leave. . . . . .?
ㅤ
“So, what will you do about the 13 Apostles?”
“Well, I’ll figure something out.”
“Figure something out. . . . . .”
ㅤ
But this person was cursed by those who are the 13th Apostles.
A curse that would make her die by tomorrow.
ㅤ
She came to us for help, Miss Vajra.
She probably didn’t want to go back.
ㅤ
Seems like she had a falling out with Mr. Chatura and his group.
. . . . . .And yet, she came here; she must’ve been cornered that much.
“I’m sorry, Kyrie-chan.”
ㅤ
Swiftly crouching down, she scoops up my tears with her finger.
ㅤ
“I didn’t mean to make you cry. I’m sorry.”
“Miss Vajra. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Her voice seemed to contain some kindness.
ㅤ
“Goodbye.”
“Ah, wait. . . . . .!”
ㅤ
Before I can stop her, she takes out a crystal from her pocket.
That definitely is. . . . . .
ㅤ
“A teleportation crystal!”
“Yes. Goodbye.”
ㅤ
With a snap, Miss Vajra crushes the teleportation crystal and vanishes from the spot.
Definitely. . . . . .it’s a crystal imbued with teleportation magic.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Miss Vajra who teleported away from here.
Mr. Chatura lets out a sigh of relief.
ㅤ
“Now we can relax. Everyone, let’s go back to our posts.”
“No!”
“K, Kyrie-sama. . . . . .?”
ㅤ
I raised my voice.
ㅤ
“No! Everyone, search for Miss Vajra! Wanko-san!”
ㅤ
Swiftly, Thunder Wolf Wanko-san appears.
ㅤ
“Find her! As soon as possible!”
『Yes, ma’am!』
ㅤ
Wanko-san leaves, taking her Thunder Wolf comrades with her.
Mr. Chatura says to me.
ㅤ
“Kyrie-sama. . . . . .you’re going to chase her?”
“Yes, I’ll place that person here.”
“. . . . . .Even if it means taking on trouble?”
“Yes.”
ㅤ
I look straight into Mr. Chatura’s eyes.
Something like resentment is visible in his eyes.
ㅤ
Probably because I’m being too obstinate.
But. . . . . .
ㅤ
“I can’t ignore a friend in danger.”
ㅤ
Mr. Chatura, Miss Anila, and Miss Martel.
The rest of the Holy Zodiac seems somewhat dissatisfied.
ㅤ
They probably want to say, since the troublemaker has left, let’s leave it at that.
But I can’t. . . . . .
ㅤ
I can’t ignore someone in front of me who’s in trouble.
Just like God have done for me.
ㅤ
“I want to be the ally of those who can’t even scream, the weak.”
ㅤ
After a long silence, Mr. Chatura sighs deeply.
Mrs. Kumako pats Mr. Chatura’s shoulder.
ㅤ
“Alright, Kyrie. We’ll respect your wishes. We’ll find Vajra and protect her here. Is that alright, leader?”
“. . . . . .There’s no other way. Agreed.”
ㅤ
Good, the plan is set.
We have to go save Miss Vajra immediately!
