Chapter III: Age Comes with its Own Sense of Pride

“Black Mantle...is a little too simple. Faceless...isn’t quite right. Hmm, how about No Face?”

In the Holy City Raziel, the most prosperous town of the continent, existed slums and back alleys. Come nighttime, no upstanding citizen would approach such places, even by accident. In one such place, an out-of-place well-dressed girl muttered to herself in a carefree manner. She was Lisette Diekmeyer. As the second adopted daughter of the former Archangel Michael Diekmeyer—who was currently considered missing—she was current Archangel Stella Diekmeyer’s little sister. Her formal dress was the uniform of the Angelic Knights’ academy, but here she was sitting down in a back alley without worrying about getting it dirty.

“What are you talking about...?”

The human-shaped darkness next to the girl swayed about. Its voice was somewhat like that of a man’s. Lisette had encountered this strange creature a month ago. He wasn’t human. It wasn’t even clear if he was alive like a monster or beast. In all likelihood, Angelic Knights would try to subjugate him, but Lisette had been sheltering him without telling anyone. Whenever school ended, she spent a while hanging around him like this.

I’d actually like to ask sis for advice about this... But if Stella decided to strike him down, Lisette had no way of stopping her. Even ignorant as she was, Lisette knew this darkness was something dangerous. If Stella instead decided to shelter him, she would end up taking responsibility if someone found out. That was why she didn’t talk to Stella about him. She’s probably gonna find out on her own, though... Stella was likely trying to ascertain what exactly he was.

“Oh, you finally talked,” Lisette said, smiling as if her little prank worked. “I’m talking about your name. Which do you like? You never answer me when I talk to you. It’s inconvenient if you don’t at least have a name.”

The darkness remained nonplussed by her behavior.

“I wonder what else would work,” Lisette continued in delight. “You’re always sitting around an alley, so maybe Kitty?”

“Samyaza...”

The darkness could probably see that there was no telling what name would be assigned to him if Lisette was left at large, so he finally spoke.

“Samyaza... Is that your name?”

“Yes.”

“Hee hee. Samyaza, huh? That’s a wonderful name.”

Honestly, Lisette had started to question whether this was an illusion only she could see. She was genuinely happy he responded to her.

“You should stop bringing bread here,” Samyaza said. “Random children simply snatch it away.”

“Aah, so you really haven’t been eating. Do you not need to eat? Oh, don’t worry about the bread being snatched. I kinda figured that was the case.”

Samyaza turned what looked like a dubious face toward her. The contour of his head looked somewhat like a face, but the only feature on it was a geometrical design of circles and straight lines. He was finally talking to her, but it was questionable whether his voice was even coming from there. It was hard to read anything in this darkness’s behavior, but she could tell he sighed.
