Sera, Relena, Roza, line up here. Listen, you're safe as long as you are inside that magic circle. Do not lose your composure."
The three girls are clad in different kinds of miko clothes. Each have symbols that signify Tenion, Parion, and Garleon sewed on the clothes.
Relena, and Rouza are nine years old, one year younger than Sera. They're girls who became miko one year after Sera. The two are Sera's blood relatives, they are [Special] girls who have [Oracle] gifts since birth.
This place is a secret graveyard that's shared by the joint of seven temples in the duchy capital.
It's a secret place that only extremely few people know even among the temples.
"Kyaa."
"Oh, god."
"Kuh."
On the other side of the magic circle, several undeads are creeping out from the depth of a wide wide passage blocked with iron bars.
It's a nightmarish scene as if the door to the afterlife has opened.
"Calm down, miko apprentices"
"Now then, put these vengeful ghosts to sleep peacefully."
"Chant it, the edict of blessing!"
"""Blessing!"""
The girls strengthen their backs, and wipe their fear with the words of the guarding priests.
"■■■ Bless"
"■■◆ Bless"
"■◆■ Bless"
However, these young girls fail the most basic magic due to their extreme mental strains. Beside Sera, the two have failed their impatient chanting.
"Calm down. Relena, and Roza, you two chant again. Sera, stand by."
After several failings and rebukes from the instructor priest, they finally succeed the chanting. As if ridiculing the girls who feel relieved, the undeads from the other side of the iron bars are throwing their detached arms and feelers noisily. Bless only gives minimal damage to the undeads.
However, that's quite enough.
"■■ Purification (Turn Undead)"
After several purification magic from the high priest who is waiting nearby, the undeads finally stop moving and go back to just being corpses.
Enormous experiences from defeating countless undeads flow to the three girls and the high priest. The pain from the rapid growth assaults their bodies as if tearing it. The girls hug their bodies who's having rapid growth (level up), and writhe in agony on the floor. That pain is the proof of growth, they cannot use healing magic as it will disturb the growth.
Those girls don't know.
The priests have used forbidden spell to produce these undeads in order to quicken their growths.
From now on, they have to undergo this secret ritual for many times.
And then, the girls who have grown up receive the oracle.
The future is harsh.
Oh god.
I pray that the future of humanity and the girls, the unfortunate event--
