45 – Plan – 7
The case involving the demons of Alexander Reinhardt, the Pope’s own son, who came to nominally serve as an escort for a candidate for sainthood, progressed smoothly.
Every single nun who assisted him was arrested, and the high priest was not arrested either, but he could not avoid a similar situation.
In some ways, the Starlight Church had a level of power greater than that of the Emperor, but this time, the evidence was so clear that the Church only expressed regret.
Traces of a demon were found in Alexander’s body, and it was the high-ranking priest of the church who inspected the demon and cleaned the place where he stayed. He was not allowed to gamble as I intended.
Thanks to this, my argument that they hid the demon cloaking device in advance was also persuasive. If the Succubus Queen directly ordered concealment, it would probably be difficult to find, but it would be at least a good sign.
“... ....”
After finishing my testimony, I was brought back to the chairman’s office and sat leaning on the sofa across from the chairman. It was an aftermath where I almost died from suffocation in my chest after finishing the job well.
I never thought the chairman would have that kind of side.
According to the person who did it, he seemed so pitiful that I was trying to act resolute, so he did it without even realizing it, but I told him several times that I wasn’t just pretending to be resolute, but that I was really fine.
‘He didn’t even hear it with his ears.’
When the chairman caught my gaze, he cleared his throat shyly and moved on to the main topic.
“Things went well. “Everything is as you said.”
“Is that so?”
“Didn’t the human sent as an escort commit such a thing because he was possessed by a succubus? There was a strong claim from a candidate for sainthood that the power of the church could not be trusted. The church seems unable to refute it this time. Thanks to this, the saint candidate can stay at the academy as long as she wants, and we can also avoid being held responsible for killing that person.”

“Thank goodness. “Because they can’t run wild.”
I wondered who would dare hold Dragon accountable, but wasn’t the Starlight Church the ones who actually did something even greater than that?
It was two days ago when that guy, Alexander, made a fuss to ask the chairman to come meet him. Even if it is not limited to the religious order, there was a time when a demonic fire broke out in Belium Forest and they were called to the imperial palace.
“We also had a dishonorable incident in the past, but in the end, we prevented it without any damage. It’s all thanks to you. “It seemed like the church had nothing to say about the matter.”
This incident is so serious that it is completely different from the Demon World War that occurred at that time. Because being invaded by demons and communicating with demons are completely different.
“Finally, I have something to say to you too.”
The chairman bent his waist slightly and began to look at me with extremely serious eyes.
“I’m glad the plan worked this time, but please try not to do anything like that again in the future. If there is any need for this, please be sure to discuss it with us in advance. “The saint candidate was very worried about you.”
“...... Yes. “I will keep that in mind.”
“I was also worried about you, so you must keep that in mind. Do you know how surprised I was when I saw that two fingers were cut off? “I thought you were hit by that guy.”
“What would happen to me from a guy like that?”@@@@
“Are you going to start talking now? “You would know what I’m talking about.”
“No. Sorry.”
I told her that I had bitten off her finger and cut it off to simulate an attack by Rosaria and the chairman. Because if you don’t say anything, you’ll think you’ve really been attacked.
After hearing that, Rosaria hit my chest, asking if I was really crazy, and the chairman scolded me with a stern face that I had never seen before, telling me not to do that again. She said she planned to get treatment, but it didn’t work out.
In fact, I also felt in a corner of my heart that I was glad Priscilla didn’t see that. She wouldn’t have been such a mess if Priscilla had seen it.
“Okay, now it’s time to take care of the last remaining problem.”
The chairman snapped his fingers. A haggard-looking Nika popped into the air and tumbled down into the middle of the room. She seemed even more pitiful than the last time I met her.
“Wasn’t she handed over to the Empire?”
“Isn’t she the one who tried and failed to drag you to the Queen? “She kept it a secret because she thought it would be better to let you handle it yourself rather than leaving it to the Empire to handle it.”
The chairman grabbed Nika by her hair and dragged her towards me. Her body fell to the floor in front of me again.
While I was thinking about the reason, the chairman looked at Nika with a much softened attitude. The fact that she had never killed a human seemed to have played a big role.
“I’m saying this because I said I would leave the treatment up to you. “Do you have anything else in mind?”
“No. Doesn’t exist. “I didn’t even know I would be dealing with that succubus in the first place.”
“That will happen. It will happen. Hmm... ....”
Nika had desperately pleading eyes as if this were her last chance. Of course, it didn’t seem to have any effect on the chairman.
“That’s right. “Have you ever thought of growing this?”
“...... Yes?”
I looked at the chairman in confusion. The chairman grabbed Nika by the back of her neck, lifted her lightly with one hand, and shook her violently.
“If you have ever killed a human, I wanted to recommend that you pay them back equally, but since you have never done that before, it would be difficult to kill them. So, this is something you, who almost got taken away by Queen, have to decide, but aren’t you also hesitating to kill him?”
“...... To be honest, yes.”
It is true that that succubus tried to drag me to the Queen, but there is a possibility that she was sent on a mission that would ultimately fail. If so, it would have been difficult to kill him outright.
“That’s what I’m saying. If you want, you can cast obedience magic on the head, heart, and womb, so don’t worry about rebellion. “A succubus who has never been intoxicated is a rare being that cannot be bought with money, so I guarantee you that you will not regret it.”
“What happens if I refuse?”
“I should kill him. “I don’t need anything like this, and there’s even no reason to let the demons go like this.”
Upon hearing that she was going to die, Nika’s body trembled and she looked up at me pitifully. Her eyes seemed to be asking me to please accept her.
“...... All right.”
The day will come when I will meet the Queen. At that time, it would not be too late to ask why such a succubus was brought in, listen to the answer, and then decide on her treatment again.
When I answered that I knew, the chairman grinned.
“It has been decided. “Now, I’ll teach you how to carve an obedience spell, so come closer.”
“...... “Was it me who bet?”
“Now that it is your property, isn’t it natural? Now, the places where the magic will work are, as I said, the head, heart, and womb. The location to engrave is...... Yes. “The tongue, between the breasts, and the lower abdomen would be good.”
“Hmm. Good. Perfect.”
Beatrice finished her cleaning with a proud heart. Almost a month had passed since you left for Bellium Academy, but your room was still in pristine condition.
I wanted to prepare it so that I could use it right away no matter when I returned home. Cleaning Master Mira’s room took priority over cleaning Beatrice’s own room.
Although she was a little disappointed that she could not accompany her to the academy and assist her, she endured it, thinking that it was time to leave her mother’s arms as she had turned 18 years old.
Of course, the master’s mother is alive and well. It was a thought that took place entirely in Beatrice’s mind. Master must be happy that you have two mothers, she couldn’t let her hear the same thing.
“Then now...... Uh? Young master?”
Beatrice saw that the magic tool for communication, which she always kept carefully in her skirt, was beeping in a specific pattern, so she quickly took out the magic tool. She then cleared her voice and she received the call.
“Yes. Young master. “What did you contact me about?”
Beitrice, who returned to being a flawless maid, opened her mouth in a pitchless voice. There was no answer from the other side of her crystal sphere for a while, but Beatrice waited patiently.
“...... Well, I mean. “It might sound a little unexpected.”
“Don’t worry, please tell me. What is?”
Beatrice was not surprised by anything. No, it wasn’t just Beatrice, it was almost all of the old residents of his mansion.
Isn’t Mr. Young the first person who was born with his heart stopped and then came back to life? The employees who had served the Crait family long enough to know the anecdote could not be surprised by anything.
“Is there any room for a maid below?”
“...... Yes?”
However, this time seemed to be an exception. Fine cracks appeared on Beatrice’s face.
