Shini Yasui Kōshaku Reijō to Nana-ri no Kikōshi

someone annoying……”’

 

The self-proclaimed Angel-san watched the person behind me with a hand on his forehead.

When I turned around looking at his line of sight, my eyes met with the beautiful woman’s.

 

She had a pair of eyes that gave a strong impression, even if they were light up in amusement, I could feel their intensity.

Originally tall and wore high heels on top of that, she was looking down from a considerably high place.

 

She wore a ponytail full of plenty, glossy volume of blonde hair that gave me the impression of mane.

From the expensive red dress with the degree of exposure that was unique to the South, her voluptuous, sunburnt tanned chest overflowed.

She was gorgeous with gold jewelry on her whole body,

 

It was regrettable.

If she was ten years younger, then I guess she would be a type that would replace the role of a bad guy.

Such a gorgeous beauty was there.

 

“I’m annoying? My, my, the boy who hasn’t grown hair yet, has come to say that.”

“See~, you’re so annoying.”

 

When Angel-san said that as if sulking, the mysterious beauty laughed throatily.

 

“Angel-san, do you know this person?”

“Ah, this person is—……how should I say this……”

“Angel-san? Heeh? Angel-san, huh? That’s right.
You sure are an angel.”

“Geh……Don’t say anything unnecessary.”

 

Angel-san pulled my hand and drew me away from the mysterious beauty.

Well, was she a troublesome acquaintance?

By the way, he did say that he would get angry if outsiders entered this place.

 

“Unnecessary? Me? Kufufufu, had I ever said anything unnecessary even just one word?”

“A long time ago, you said something unnecessary.”

“How cold~.
As expected, I wonder if young girls are better? Angel-sama?”

 

The mysterious beauty provoked Angel-san in an amusing way.

I interjected to ask who she was.

 

“Excuse me……”

“Ah—, my bad.
This person is my acquaintance……I can’t tell you too much, but she’s the one who lives in this cathedral.
I shouldn’t be tattling, but you can feel relieved.”

“Really.”

 

Somehow, I only understood that she was someone with a delicate position.

I wondered if she was the great master of the cathedral, a daughter of a nobleman with a special circumstance or something else.

It seemed that it was not a good story to meddle with, so I decided not to talk about it anymore.

 

“My, my, the totally-not-scary older sister is exposed.
I was wondering if I should make my self-introduction funny.”

“What do you want to say—……”

“If you are Angel-sama, then I am a devil—! ……Something like that.”

“That’s not right, and that’s not funny either.
That’s just normal.”

 

The mysterious-beauty-now-self-proclaimed-demon raised her hands with a gesture as if threatening a child.

Her nails had a high offensive power with those elongated nails.

Angel-san shrunk himself as if scared.

It seemed that she was a cheerful and funny older sister.

 

“Was that not scary?”

“Yes, yes, I’m afraid, very frightened.
Please stop scaring me.”

“Ah! Yes, I was also scared.”

“Ufu~~.
That is excellent.
All living beings should fear me like this~~”

 

Devil-san seemed to be in high spirits like a child, a complete turnaround from before.

Angel-san seemed to be annoyed, but he looked somewhat smiley.

In any case, they were a close pair of angel and devil.

I wondered what else was hidden behind closed doors, it was irresistible for a boring person like me.

 

Then the sound of a bell was ringing from outside the cathedral.

That would be the bell that informed evening had come.

 

“It’s already this late.
It’s better for Ojou-san to go home soon.”

“Oh my, how unfortunate.
I thought it was lively and fun.”

“Yes, yes.
The good time is over.
We couldn’t hold back such a small child forever, can we?”

 

Oops, that reminded me that I was invited to the banquet of the Advent of the royal family, and it said that it would take place all night long.

It seemed that aristocrats from different countries would gather, so I also had to dress in appropriate costume.

 

“Thank you very much for today, and I will come and visit tomorrow as soon as I have time to move freely.”

“Well, see you next time~.
I will also show you the underground cemetery.”

“Underground cemetery……, if you are going to sightseeing with a girl, there are many other places more appropriate.
Good grief.”

“Eh~? Is this room also appropriate to show to a girl?”

“Well, see you, Erica, I will choose a better place next time!”

 

While grinning, the self-proclaimed angel and devil were waving their hands.

After all, it seemed that religious relations were special.

Actually, I wanted to ask for sightseeing guide in the downtown, but I couldn’t say such selfish thing.

 

Leaving the cathedral, I whispered to Tirnanog stealthily around the area where the population became scarce.

 

“Thank you for being quiet for a long time, Tir.”

『Ah.
It’s an easy thing to do.
You looked like you were having fun too.』

“Yes, I enjoyed it.”

 

When I finished the sightseeing tour of the cathedral with Angel-san, the outside was already sunset.

The red sun was being swallowed by the horizon.

 

Maybe during the festival, this hour would be crowded with people.

In the air that wrapped around the city, there was a scent peculiar to the evening that stimulated my hunger.

Well, if I ate something now, I would be troubled when I had to wear a dress.

 

While suffering, Tirnanog pulled the hem of my skirt.

 

『But, Erica.
You must not be deceived by them.』

“Hm, what is it?”

『That boy is not an angel, and that woman is not a devil.』

“Well, I understand it as well, so it’s alright.”

『Yes.
That’s good.
Erica is smart.』

 

What was that.

I felt somewhat uncomfortable as if when I was told ‘Santa is not real’ I unexpectedly said ‘I know that.’

I didn’t understand the intention of the advice in the first place, but I decided not to think about it deeply.

I went through a lively city along with Tirnanog and returned to the temporary residence of Duke of Aurelia.
