After Cruz leaves, Celesta was deserted in the outdoor spring (Because there was a continuous stream of big events happening in rapid succession she was totally forgotten).
Of course it wasn’t like she caught a cold after being neglected. Tooru left instructions for the dark elf court ladies to take care of Celesta and according to them, Celesta had gotten a really high fever around the time that Cruz left the scene, her face was filled with pain and she lost consciousness.
『Most likely, Cruz had used some sort of memory manipulation magic on her. It would seem that Cruz had used a kind of curse magic….It is likely that after a fixed amount of time, the curse would activate and cause Celesta to fall unconscious』
This was Nina’s diagnosis of Celesta’s condition. Some of the memories concerning Cruz including the command word to unlock the magical pouch which was filled with high tech weapons, erasing these key points from her memory was likely Cruz’s goal.
Due to the burden on the body and the mind that this spell causes, Celesta was currently in a deep sleep and doesn’t seem to be able to wake up for a while.
………..Furthermore, Princess Sistina was now in the deepest portion of the underground village and was secluding herself within the sacred temple. Although this location was not as effective as the “Tower of Revelations” the mystical energy that gathered in the Forest of the elves focused in the temple. For now, that power spot is probably the best location to perform a prophecy—-and when Celesta wakes up she probably had the duty to clear any misunderstandings between her and Tooru.
「Good grief, going as far as making Flamia into a bomb, this silver mask fellow is such an arsehole daze……Oh yeah, he may have been your acquaintance in the past right? My bad」(Amelia Speaking)
「No…….Even if he was Kurusu-kun of the past, he has already declared his hostile stance towards us and at this point, there is nothing we can do but fight him as an enemy wa. That is both my and Odamori’s conclusion」
Even though she said this, her eyes were wavering even if only a little.
Even though Cruz had clearly plotted against her Kirika was soft hearted and she hesitated when she thought of having to fight her former classmate. That’s the kind of girl Kirika was. Just like how she wavered when she first confronted Tooru.
Seeing how kind the Princess Knight was, Amelia had a favourable impression of her but she did not voice her thoughts out.
「Well, it may be possible that Iblis is grasping on to his weakness and that is why he is following her commands. Also, in the beginning Kirika was also acting like master’s enemy but now that’s not the case anymore, right? Besides, even if you meet him by chance, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to kill him」
「That’s also true…….Fufuh, if you think about it, it’s kind of weird isn’t it? After all, I’m supposed to be a righteous Princess Knight and yet I have completely …..become a close associate of the Slavemancer」
Kirika forced a smile as she talked about her current situation with Tooru and when she thought about him her expression changed.
It wasn’t the expression filled with worry and anxiety from a few moments ago, it was more of feeling confused and dissatisfied, she had a complex expression on her face.
「Goodness me, all things considered when it comes to him, he never seems to get sick and tired of new women and he keeps bringing them into his room……Not only that, the ones he brang this time were those two small girls, as expected I think that he must be a loli-con……*pout* 」
「………Kirika? Oii~, Kirika-san?」
She submerged her cheeks in the bath as she grumbled and blew out bubbles, not only that she entered a sulky mode and was performing a soliloquy with herself.
It’s not clear just how self-conscious she was at this time, but Kirika’s body which had not been embraced by Tooru for quite the long period was being tormented by her pent up frustrations. It was clear even to the other girls that this has started to affect her heart and mind.
Or more like, if a bystander were to see her face right now, without a doubt they would say that her current face was one of a jealous girlfriend.
(Ah~ha, more so than I thought, this is quite the serious problem for both her body and her mind. Even when she was training a little while ago, it seemed like her mind was full of worries dayonaa. When I come to think of it, when I was travelling as an adventurer there was this one time where I couldn’t find time to touch myself and similar symptoms would start to occur…..Eh hang on, w-why am I remembering such a unnecessary thing?!) (Amelia’s thoughts)
