My Childhood Friend the Demon Knight Hates Me Chapter 17

The Capital Arc Part 

Chapter 17

「Suu, Suu! Today’s dinner dessert is strawberry pie! It’s delicious, thanks for sharing!」

「I’m glad you liked it Urr」

「But I prefer the pie that is baked by Suu. I want to get home quickly and I to eat Suu’s!」

I felt glad on what Urr said and stroked his water-like tail. He was floating near my shoulder so stroking him was easy.

We are now walking in the hallways back to our room after having dinner in the cafeteria of the church.

By the way, Reiss is following us at the back whose presence is like a thin air. Even escorting me back to the room is his task as the escort.

With the priests and spirit’s eyes, nothing like an accident won’t occur inside the church but for it seems that this guy was more into his duties.

Wherever you look at, everything is almost white inside the church.

The cylindrical pillar that overlaps your sight is adorned with ivy engraved that was patterned with gold chains. At the edge of the chains were designs of tiny bells.

There are bells all around. It was the proof of how much they adore the Spirit Queen.

「I’m everyone back home is doing fine. Master should’ve wanted to see Urr now right?」

「? I wonder? But, I’m also happy to see him yet I think it’s also fine not seeing him!」

「…..Urr, Even if it’s a lie you should say 『I was lonely being apart from you so I wanted to see you soon!』 to master.To us humans, there is a thing called social etiquette」

「I don’t quite understand it!」

「If you say that, I’m sure master will give you lots of sweets」

「Then I’ll do it!」

I was walking my feet steadily while while having a light chat with Urr when we arrived in front of our room without knowing. Since Reiss was the escort he also his room is also at the same floor.

For a moment.

When turned around to look at Reiss behind me.

I caught a glimpse of him smiling his lips a little while listening to Urr and I’s conversation, my eyes widened with the sight but it was gone the moment I blinked my eyes, I was thinking it was like some rare seasonal event.

Before entering the room Reiss stopped to tell me 「Don’t try to go out during the night at all cost」. He must be referring to the cases of disappearances where the Spirit Users went missing during the night with strong moonlight.

Even without you saying it, Sir Reiss the Escort, I won’t go out during the night.

I entered my room while somewhat in a bad mood, I fixed my hair in front of the mirror. I already took a hot water bath before dinner so I’ll go straight to bed after this. It’s just that the night is still early, maybe I’ll try reading some books in bed after combing my hair.

I was moving my hands while thinking what to do. My tea-colored hair that extended past my shoulders easily tangled because of it’s volume so combing it is quite difficult. (TL: The hair’s thickness was really described in the word volume)

While struggling with my hair suddenly a gust of night wind pa.s.sed through the window curtain causing it to flutter violently.

It will be cold today, so I stood up to close the windows.

—–And the, while trying to close the window, I breathed a sigh of admiration because of the scenery outside.

「Beautiful…..」

From the window inside my room, the scenery of blooming pink flowers in the courtyard came to my sight.

The moon was like hiding with the darkness of the night.

There were four-five birds with yellow wings that were flying as if dancing while reflected by the light.

Every time it flaps its wings, particles of light scatters, it was like stars that lights the darkness. The star-like particles floats in an circular line before disappearing. It was a very fantastic scenery.

They are light spirits.

Normally, light spirits appearance is difficult to see during the night where their form can be often caught on sight. Spirits are existences that love the sunlight. Light spirits in particular, depends on the sunlight and use it as their source of power so they appear in front of the people during daytime.

And these spirit that are now dancing together in the night.
They are – – – – having a burial ceremony for the deceased.

「These spirit’s Spirit User they had contracted with, that has pa.s.sed away….. maybe today is the death anniversary」

The person they might be offering the dance is someone from the church. I had no idea when did the said person pa.s.sed away but they must very close with each other since the spirit is dancing full of devotion.

Once in the Allevel territory, during the third death anniversary of a Spirit User living in the neighborhood, I have seen this dance, no matter how many times I see this, it’s beautiful yet saddening.

I closed my eyes and silently offered a solemn prayer.

And when I opened my eyes, my ears heard a silent knock.

「Who might it be….?」

The night is still young.

I thought Reiss might have forgotten to tell something, just to be sure I’ll confirm who’s behind the door. If it’s not Reiss, there is only one person I know who’ll the Spirit Princess directly in her room.

「Roa-kun……?」

「I apologize for the sudden visit, Suria-sama」

Behind the door was appeared wearing a white robe, bowing down deeply was Roa-kun who is shorter than me.

His blonde hair flows on his a little chubby cheeks.

「The night is not that late anyway. Something wrong?」

「The truth is….. there is something I need to talk with Suria-sama, I hope you can listen. It something important. I wanted to have change the time to daytime where it’s bright but…… It’s just some kind of pathetic talk, I have some kind of difficulties on finding a time with the incidents to end, right now is the only time I’ve been free. Somehow please excuse me for the sudden intrusion. I’ll be glad if it’s Suria-sama, ummm…..」

Roa-kun’s eyes were swimming in different directions. He was exchanging his glances on me and inside the room so I moved myself to the side .

「It’s fine, come in. Finding another place to talk at would just waste the time」

「E, Excuse me! F, For visiting a lady’s room during the night…… P, Pardon my intrusion」

While his shoulders were trembling he stepped his little foot inside.

There was carpet at the center of the room where a cushion which was embroided with a beautiful flower. I urged Roa-kun to sit there. I also sat the same way across him.

「Well them, what is the story about?」

「U, Umm. It’s something important and I can’t just say it to anybody…. let’s see. Let me start from here on」

Roa-kun’s expressions are showing how nervous he was, he then raised his face with a serious look and fixed his expression.

His indigo eyes were radiating as he looked at me straight.

And then, who would have though that the words that came from his lips would astonished me.

「I’ll be asking straight to the point. —- Suria-sama, have you heard of the existence of something that is not human called 『demon』?」
