“What am I even doing...?”

Around the time Nephy and Nephteros were visiting her office in the church, Chastille was out and about in town. She hid in the shadows a small distance away from Barbatos and wasn’t wearing Anointed Armor, but instead dressed in casual clothes. Passersby stared at her, but she showed no signs of noticing.

“That idiot Barbatos got seduced by a certain woman.”

A few days had passed since then. Chastille had been secretly checking on Barbatos since. It wasn’t that she distrusted him, of course. She truly believed in him. Or at least, she wanted to. However, just as Zagan had pointed out, it was also true that Barbatos tended to suddenly do astoundingly foolish things.

Actually, is Barbatos maybe really experienced with women...?

Thinking back on it, Chastille knew nothing about him. She knew he was an exceptionally talented sorcerer, and despite cursing all the time, he often helped and was good at looking after others. He probably saw Chastille as a woman too...maybe. However, when it came to his past, she knew nothing more than him being Zagan’s unsavory friend.

No, it’s enough to know Barbatos as he is now, isn’t it?

That should have been the case. And yet, no matter how much she convinced herself of this, she couldn’t help but worry.

I ended up acting like I suspect him...

If he found out, maybe it would hurt him. After all, if he doubted Chastille the same way, she would surely be sad.

And yet, I still want to know. How arrogant...

She knew this, but couldn’t help herself. And so, she’d finally resorted to tailing Barbatos. It hadn’t been easy to accomplish, though. Everything she did was constantly exposed to the shadow. He could see if he turned his attention to it, and he always listened. In a sense, Chastille was under constant surveillance.

“No, I don’t think I’m really under surveillance...” Chastille muttered to herself, making excuses to nobody in particular.

At any rate, it might’ve been possible to destroy the shadow with the power of her Sacred Sword, but if she did, he would definitely notice. It would be extremely difficult to cut it to begin with, Sacred Sword or not. It would probably be impossible for the lower-ranked newcomers among the Archangels. Despite all this, Barbatos showed no signs of noticing that he was being followed.

It’s a good thing Kuroka told me how to overcome his abilities.

Kuroka Adelhide didn’t trust Barbatos in the slightest. Worried about him being Chastille’s guard, she’d taught Chastille how to overcome his shadow manipulation abilities just in case she needed to know. This method left the shadow intact and simply detached it from her.

It was a sword technique from Liucaon called the blade of life or death. A true master could slash someone without them even recognizing they’d been cut, and the same could be applied to inanimate objects and even sorcery. The original goal was to cut someone without killing them, a terrifying technique that didn’t scratch even a single cell.

If used properly, it could sever Barbatos’s shadow without him noticing.
