Chapter 7

「OK, brother!」

With his dazzlingly fluorescent cellphone in hand, Reverend O’Neill brightly declared.

He was currently inside the club offices. Much like the rest of the club, its interior was exceedingly gaudy. The place was lit up with blue and pink neon lights. Dubiously-designed crosses and idols lined each desk.

O’Neill delivered an impassioned speech to his business partner on the other side of the call.

「……Luckily for us, the lovely lady Miranda has taken our suggestions to heart. That’s right. We’ve got a 20% guarantee from that woman. As soon as we get it on tape, we’ll be able to expand the ministry once again! Get it? Though I’d like to avoid using any direct expressions, we’ve basically tacked on an ‘A’ to her initials. ……Yep, an ‘A’, an ‘ayy’. Oh, hallelujah!」

「Father.」

His secretary-cum-bodyguard giant, Kenny, entered the office.

「Father. Can I have a moment of your time?」

「The ‘A’ in ABC[24]. …….Hey now, brother. It’s still a bit too early to be getting excited. And it’s not your ordinary ‘A’ either. Apparently, she used up three Cuban cigars at the same time⸺」

「Father O’Neill!」

Kenny raised his voice. O’Neill stopped his business talks for just a moment, wrinkling the brow above his sunglasses.

「Can’t you put this off later, Brother Kenny? Right now, I’m busy with a brother from the film industry. He’s going through a deeply spiritual experience, and I’m here providing him with religious support.」

「And that’s fine and all, Father. But you’ve got a guest outside. Says it’s urgent.」

「Tell them to wait a bit.」

「My apologies, I’ve brought them along with me. This alien just wouldn’t take no for an answer.」

「Excuse me.」

Pushing aside Kenny’s massive body, the Semanian girl entered the office. From the looks of it, she had been quite reluctant to come to this place.

With a 『We’ll talk about this another time』, O’Neill ended his call, opening his arms wide to welcome his guest.

「Oh. Bona[25] Tilarna! ……Correct? For the second time, welcome to the Secret Sanctuary!」

「‘Tis Bona Exedilika. Do not address me so casually.」

「My apologies. But where is Detective Matoba? It doesn’t seem he’s here.」

Tilarna slammed her hand on the desk, glaring menacingly at O’Neill.

「I could care less about that rakebye[26]. Scoundrel, I have come to ask a favor of you.」

Tilarna’s whereabouts were as yet unknown.

He had no time to put up with the selfishness of an alien ignorant in the ways of the world. Returning to office headquarters, Matoba promptly continued his investigation into the man named Dennis Elbajhi. With his explanation, his colleagues immediately got to work, looking up relevant information on the case at hand. Matoba also took the liberty of informing the Chief regarding his progress, requesting that he make the necessary arrangements for the investigation.

He conveniently left out the fact that he had lost track of Tilarna. Telling him that she was simply taking a short break in the nap room, Matoba played dumb about her whereabouts. Lost in an unfamiliar world, an unfamiliar city. She probably had no idea how she was going to go about her search for the fairy.
