Around a dozen teleports later, Tatsumi arrived at his own front door. Using a magical phrase to unlock it, he stepped inside to the warmth of the lit fireplace. He shed his cold-weather gear with a sigh of relief as he entered the living room—then was suddenly struck by an impact from behind.

Could it be an ambush? Remembering the men from earlier, Tatsumi tensed and turned around, ready for a fight. However, what he saw was the familiar sight of platinum hair fluttering in his view.

“Uh… Calsedonia…?”

“Yes, it’s me! Ufufu. Did I surprise you?” Calsedonia’s face was alive with a bright smile.

Apparently, she’d been hiding behind the living-room door to jump out and surprise Tatsumi. After all, she could sense the magical energy of his teleportation. But…

“Is something wrong?” Sensing something in Tatsumi’s expression, Calsedonia tilted her head in confusion.

By now, Tatsumi had realized that it would be practically impossible for anyone to ambush him in their home. The house’s locks were all magically secured, far beyond the capability of ordinary thieves to open. Moreover, the unlocking passphrase was set in Japanese, meaning only Tatsumi and Calsedonia—who could understand basic conversational Japanese due to her memories as Chiko—had any chance of unlocking them.

Feeling himself relax, Tatsumi began to explain what had happened on his way back from the temple.

Calsedonia looked at him quizzically. “So, someone is targeting you…?”

“I think so. But I can’t think of any reason why someone would be after me…”

Tatsumi didn’t even know that many people in this world; why would anyone have it out for him? Ah, but there was one possibility.

“Could it be those guys are followers of Calsedonia?”

If anyone knew Tatsumi, it was because he lived with Calsedonia. If the men he’d encountered were followers of the “Saintess,” it wouldn’t be surprising if they’d targeted him out of spite.

“Hmm… if that’s the case, what should we do next…” he pondered. “Well, I guess I can always get away from them like that again if I have to.”

Thanks to Tatsumi’s magical abilities, capturing him would be extremely difficult, unless he was confined in a space devoid of magic or a completely isolated room without windows or doors.

“Let’s ask Grandfather about this tomorrow,” Calsedonia suggested. “But for now…” She took Tatsumi’s arm and led him over to the fireplace. “Your body’s gone totally cold.”

“Well, that’s because I ended up lying on the snow…” Tatsumi admitted with a half-smile.

“You need to warm up fast, or you’ll catch a cold… Over there!” Calsedonia exclaimed, giving him a gentle push.

“Whoa!” Tatsumi was taken aback as Calsedonia settled down in front of the fireplace and wrapped her arms around him to share her warmth.

“Is it warm enough for you now?” she asked softly.

“Yeah… it’s really warm… Thank you, Calsedonia.”

Seeing Tatsumi blush and avert his gaze, Calsedonia chuckled softly and tenderly pressed her cheek against his from behind. For the moment, they were back to their usual, affectionate selves, and they could both forget the shadows that loomed around them.
