The Capital Arc Part 2

Chapter 11

Continuing to went to the southern part of the city, I was overwhelmed by how large the church when we arrived.

A marble gigantic structure, the is a steeple towers that stretches high up to the sky as if reaching it on both left and right of the main structure. There are beautiful rose-carved windows sparkling in it. In the large door on the building entrance was a door lever that had a little cute bell carvings, that can be seen in other towns. Was it the church that’s spreading it.

In the surroundings of the church are flower beds with pinkish flowers blooming all around that are being taken care by earth spirits.

If you stroll around the church, the fragrance of the flowers tended by the spirits will  be breathed along with the fresh air.

You can also feel the presence of the spirits all over the place.

「――――I welcome the arrival of the Spirit Princess-sama and Knight Escort-sama. I will be the one in-charge of takong care of your needs during your stay in the church, I’m called Roasell Fins.」

Saying「Please feel free to call me Roa」, a young boy who is one of the church’s priest spirit user wearing a white robe bowed his head deeply.

We entered the reception room, together with Reiss on the couch (But for some reason, Urr was in between us and there seem to be some distance apart) while waiting, then this young boy arrived.

He seems to be four or five years younger than me.

He has a smooth blonde hair and beautiful indigo eyes. His face shape draws a smooth and roundish outline, he has a slender and small stature lile that girl, if you don’t look closely, can really be mistaken as one.

However, this young looking person is a spirit user chosen by the church to take care  of the Spirit Princess must be of considerable talent.

Still, for a body that’s thoroughly trained, he seems to be forcing himself, as he was not moving after greeting us. Understanding what he felt, I stood up from the sofa and greeted him 「I will be in your care, please to meet you, Roa-san」.

「Nah! C, Calling me with honorifics! There is no need for it Spirit Princess-sama!」

「Eh? Then, Roa…….-kun. Also, there is no need to call me Spirit Princess every time….. I even have no idea why was I chosen as one. If possible, I’d like you to call me by my name.」

「Uweee!? Su, Suria-sama, would that be alright……?」

I replied「Yes」with a smile, Roa then muttered「I, I’m nervous calling a beautiful  person like you by her name」while his face was blus.h.i.+ng. What a cute creature this boy is.

However, Roa-kun is trembling like he has a fever in the presence of Reiss’ stabbing glare. I sent Reiss blaming stares.

「Will you stop staring at him for a moment, he’s getting scared」

「……You really haven’t changed, having soft spot for the young」

Condemning words then seemed to stab me.

Well I won’t deny that. I do have soft spot on them since I think of myself lowly.

That being said, I remember during the time that we still get along together when we’re young.

When playing together with the children of the orphanage, Reiss was just sulking in the corner somewhere crowdless like a sickly child.

And I thought it was just like an affection of a little brother getting jealous since his older sister is getting along with others, unn, something like that did happen.

It’s late saying this but Reiss was actually younger than me right.

If that is so, what’s the difference between Roa-kun. The answer is, I never called him by his name since the time we met again.

…….It’s not like I also wanted Reiss to call me「Suu」again.

「For the entire stay of Suria-sama, I’ll be staying together with you along with your training and until the Spirit Princess’ ceremony. After then, we will be heading to the Sacred Bell Forest. You will be joining the prayers every morning, but you can freely spend you time and go out wherever you want during breaks. Umm, Knight-sama……」

「It’s fine just to call him Reiss, Roa-kun」

「Don’t casually call me by my name. With your position call me Knight Escort.」

「Isn’t just Reiss fine!」

「Ah, uh, uumm….」

Reiss was sitting haughtily in the sofa with his aloof att.i.tude, I was bitting my lips, the atmosphere between us was turning into a chaos and Roa-kun’s robe is already shaking.

Oh no, I’m already scaring him.

「Kn, Knight-sama too, we have already prepared a room for you. I, I will be showing you the way later. Also, the high priest wants to meet you sooner….. That being said, the place is…」

Having hard time saying it, Roa-kun muttered in a small voice.

「To tell you the truth, the current situation here in the capital is not good, there are continuous cases of spirit users gone missing….. The high priest-sama already issued an immediate investigation about the case and now on progress.」

「Eh……」

「All those who went missing are still not found yet. Except for those spirit users, there are no other targets in this cases. Age and gender doesn’t matter. As of today, there are no clear evidence found and those who went missing disappeared without a trace…. And during the investigation on the matter.  The meeting would be somewhat postponed.」

While listening to Roa-kun’s story with a grim voice, I was signaling Reiss with my eyes if the details told were the truth.

Only Spirit Users are involved in this series of disappearances.

According to what Reiss has heard the series of kidnappings, from Roa-kun’s mouth, the people that went missing just disappeared without a single trace, not even a noise. And to the other Spirit Users who didn’t go missing, they just shrugged it off saying 「Well they just disappeared into nowhere」.

There are a lot of unknown, somehow, it’s kind of scary.

When I was rubbing my arms because of the cold feeling, Roa-kun immediately noticed it, glancing at me with his round eyes.

「For having Suria-sama, the Spirit Princess this unpleasant news, please forgive me. The audience of the Spirit Princess to the Spirit Queen will be held on this year.  And according to the spirit envoy that the Queen sent, the ceremony’s date is not allowed to be change. The church is already doing its utmost capabilities to solve this case, but it seems that it won’t be solved that sooner by ourselves…. Whenever you go out, please make sure that Knight-sama is accompanying you. I personally think that staying inside the church is the safest since there are spirits around protecting it, and currently, it’s not advisable to go put alone.」

「Yes」

While just shutting my lips, inside me, swirling emotions are shouting 「I don’t want to do that!」.

Glancing slightly at Reiss who was reddening on the side, his well proportioned nose was twitching and wrinkled exaggerately as if getting drunk in anger.

Staying by my side, did it really upset and anger you to stay by me for all the time?

I wonder if it was pure torture to him.

As I thought, the scene that I remembered where the flower petals was dancing and the air and his facial expressioned that loosend is just a mere illusion of the past. I was just entranced by the dazzling scene of the capital. I’m a fool for even thinking about it happening.

「Since you’re tired in today’s meeting, please take a good rest in your rooms. Both of your luggage has already been carried into your rooms」

With Roa guiding us, we went to go to each of our designated rooms.

It seems like the ritual etiquette and the likes will be thought by the other Spirit Users who are responsible for the training. My real life as the Spirit Princess will be starting tomorrow.

The room that I was in is more luxurious than our house and the meals that were served were all delicious. As expected of the treatment.

But no matter how I cover myself and lay down on this high quality bedding, as the night grows later, the thoughts about tomorrow’s events are not the only one making me uneasy but also my anxiety about Reiss.

Father, Mother, everyone.

Also Uncle Allan and Rinze.

I want to see everyone’s face. I want to finish my task safely and go home to Allevel as soon as possible.

While praying, I slowly closed my eyelids.

Translator:

While doing this chapter. I was like grinning all the time. It was sweet and fluffy.

And Reiss turning red and twitching, tsk after hearing he must be with Suria all the time, for sure he was imagining Suria in the bath or toilet. What a b.a.s.t.a.r.d pervert. PERVERT!

My reaction on this was like…..

How about you? Was it only me that bled?
