Chapter III: The More Secret a Sightseeing Spot, the More Exciting

“Sorry Nephteros, I have a mission to do right now.”

Immediately following the meeting of the Archangels, Chastille returned to the waiting room where she talked to an elf with silver hair, golden eyes, and dark skin. One usually didn’t sense it from her strong-willed expression, but when she kept quiet, she really did look exactly like Nephy. This was the high elf created by Archdemon Bifrons, Nephy’s little sister, Nephteros.

A tall Angelic Knight named Richard stood just behind Chastille.

“I shall accompany you.”

“No, it’s fine. Please stay by Nephteros’ side. It seems it’s not a terribly good situation for us.”

“What do you...”

“Bifrons, right?” Nephteros guessed before Chastille could reply. “I can feel this unpleasant prickling in my chest. That Archdemon is nearby, right?”

“...Yeah.”

It could be that her nature as a homunculus allowed her to sense Bifrons’ existence even though she had left the Archdemon’s side.

“Does that mean Bifrons broke through his sorcery...?”

Archdemon Bifrons had a pledge cast on them by Zagan which prevented them from appearing before Nephteros. Breaking the pledge would mean death. It wasn’t worth risking, even for an Archdemon.

“That’s not necessarily true. It seems Bifrons joined hands with Shere Khan. If their current goal is Shere Khan’s priority, Bifrons may not be intending on appearing before you, Nephteros.”

“So shouldn’t we stick together then? I should at least work as an insect repellent.”

“You can’t. All the Archangels will be charging in together. In the worst case, I’ll need your help out here. We can’t take on too many risks.”

Chastille considered Nephteros a dear friend that she had to protect, but she also thought of her as an ally she could rely on. Chastille had made clear enemies within the church. And if they were to pull the rug out from underneath her feet, the only one she could rely on was Nephteros.

Our initial goal was to set up a counterplan against that, though... Oberon’s request was an unexpected situation.

And with no other choice, Nephteros nodded.

“...Alright. You sure are unpleasantly calm in this sort of situation. You should give me a bit more time to hesitate.”

“Sorry. I’ll make it up to you.”

“I-I’m not telling you to make up for it!”

Nephteros shook her head, seeing that she wasn’t really getting it, and a familiar laugh broke out from the shadow at Chastille’s feet.

“Hehehe, you’ve got an idea about what the culprit is planning, right crybaby?”

“Don’t call me crybaby, Barbatos.”

Barbatos was obviously still hiding within Chastille’s shadow during the meeting. He then let out an exasperated sigh from the shadows.

“Well... You deserve it this time. Even though you’re in work mode and all, you were about to go right into a free-for-all slaughterfest if that brat didn’t put a stop to it, right?”

“Ugh...”

With sweat on her brow, Chastille averted her eyes at having that pointed out to her. She couldn’t make any excuses for messing up when Stella showed up.

“Huh? Did you do something again?”

“Don’t you start too, Nephteros! I’ve actually been pushing my limits, you know?!”

“Isn’t that the same as always? Come on, don’t cry.
