  Myne was in a good mood .

  She’s been spinning around me for a while now .

  [Is this some sort of ritual or something?]

  [I’m trying to get into whichever way Fate is looking at . ]

  [No no, you’re trying way too hard to do that . It’s weird . ]

  [Un? Sloth said it would do me good to do so……]

  Again with this “Sloth said it” .

  Recently, Myne had been acting really strange .

  When asked about it, she always replied that it was by Sloth’s suggestion .

  [Don’t tell me Sloth also told you to do that hugging earlier?]

  [Nn? That was just me . Actually I may want to do it again real soon]

  [Fine…… just don’t break my spine next time . ]

  [I will keep that in mind . ]

  If she’s looking away from me like that, I have a feeling that she’ll forget it anyway .

  I guess she wants to hug real tight from time to time .

  She’s planning to stay with me for a very long time after all, so I should at least understand her .

  [Ero hasn’t come back yet?]

  [Yes, she hasn’t . She said that she’ll return once she gets ahold of the means to travel to Gallia . ]

  [Isn’t she just eating the grass on the road somewhere?]

  [Of course she isn’t]

  [What if she’s been kidnapped?]

  [Don’t get ahead of yourself . ]

  She possessed a mortal sin skill and was fairly strong in combat .

  Only those with power surpassing that could hope to kidnap Eris .

  What first came to mind was the sacred beastkin .

  Eris had this past connection with the sacred beastkin Libra .

  I still don’t know what happened between the two . Eris didn’t seem to want to talk about it either .

  When I saw her showing such a moment of weakness whenever Libra is involved, I couldn’t get myself to ask .

  Still, I do know about two things .

  Libra has another nickname; Tuner .

  And the divine decree he received was most likely to [eliminate anything that can cause disturbance upon the world . ]

  If it’s true, then Libra wouldn’t stand still seeing that Gallia continent had risen to the sky .

  At the same time, we as the holders of Mortal Sin skill……

  While talking to Myne, I was continuously keeping watch for any sign of magic power that approached Hauzen .

  So I would know if Eris returned .

  [Fate!]

  [Yeah, this magic power signature belongs to Eris . ]

  Speak of the devil .

  Eris was heading toward Hauzen at tremendous speed .

  Moreover, there’s another magic power signature following her .

  [This is……don’t tell me……]

  [Libra, without a doubt . ]

  Why is Libra there with Eris!?

  Recalling how Eris said that she wanted to get rid of Libra herself this time, she must’ve hated that guy very much .

  Then why?

  Eris always acted unusual around Libra . She said that she’d fight him, but her fearfulness was obvious even to me .

  Could she really partnered up with a person who caused her so much trauma?

  [Unbelievable……]

  [But there is no mistake . Those are Libra and Eris’ magic power . ]

  Myne immediately rushed back to her room to pick up Sloth .

  I had been placing my hand on the handle of the black sword on my waist all this time .

  At times like this, a certain reliable partner with a particularly bad mouth would already give me some advice .

  However, there’s only silence now .

  In the last battle――fighting against the sacred beast Aquarius, I lost Greed .

  Libra was the person who set up that battle .

  Now I have my own grudge against him .

  Moreover, he also tried to exterminate Hausen entirely . He may have thought that it’s the only way to prevent the Door to His land to open up .

  [Fai! This sign!]

  [It’s just as you thought . ]

  Roxy, probably noticing as well, rushed to me .

  She was already decked out in her battle gear, ready to fight at any time .

  [Eris-sama…… Why is she together with Libra?]

  [I also want to know why . ]

  [Indeed . It is nearly unthinkable for those two to actually act together . ]

  The two were approaching Hausen from the south .

  I tried to look for them from the hill where my mansion is . Can’t see them yet .

  [Is Libra aiming for Hausen again?]

  [Who knows . The door to His land is already opened . What lies here is only the underground city Grandeur . There are only ghosts who refused to be resurrected there……]

  It’s even stranger that he moves around together with a mortal sin skill holder like Eris . But according to Raine, there was lots of valuable ancient information left inside the underground city Grandeur .

  Is he coming here because he wants to keep that ancient knowledge a secret?

  No, if that’s the case he would’ve acted much sooner .

  It’s simply too hard to understand Libra’s goal, no matter how hard I think about it .

  [We can’t have Libra inside Hausen . Let’s meet them outside . ]

  [Yes . ]

  When I was about to run, someone called me from behind .

  [Then I will stay behind as an answering machine again . ]

  When I turned around, there was Mimir .

  Today as well, she’s wearing a neat looking maid uniform .

  [I’m sorry, again . ]

  [It’s alright . I’ll be watching Fate-sama’s heroic figure from here . I’m no longer a Holy Knight after all……and not even a warrior . ]

  [Mimir…… . . ]

  [Come now, I’m but your maid servant . And also your sister . ]

  She gave me a maid salute with a slight smile on her face .

  [Fai! Hurry up!]

  I heard Roxy urging me to go .

  [Brother, come on now, go forth!]

  [Yeah, I’m off . ]

  [Be careful on your way . ]

  Like the maid to her lord…… and like a sister to her brother, Mimir bowed deeply as she saw me off .

  I stroked her head gently in return . It’s not like this is our final farewell .

  [I leave Hausen in your care . ]

  [Yes, as you wish . ]

  I nodded back after Mimir raised her head and nodded .

  Then I turned toward Roxy, who patiently waited for me .

  The signs of the two magic powers had been getting closer and closer .

  [Sorry for the wait . Let’s go . ]

  [Alright . ]

  Making full use of our stats, we rushed out .

  If we use the main road, we’ll probably injure the passersby though .

  [Let’s go through the rooftops . ]

  [I suppose that is for the best……kyah]

  Roxy let out a little yelp .

  She’s not even falling or tumbling . What in the world is she……

  When I turned to her, there was already the crimson haired Snow latching on Roxy’s back .

  [I’m playing too～!]

  Perhaps she had misunderstood us running on top of the roofs as playing some sort of a game .

  [What a bully to leave me out!]

  [We are not playing here . ]

  [Really?]

  Snow looked back at me while tilting her head .

  [Yes . We are leaving Hausen to head south . Where Libra is . ]

  [Libra…… . . ]

  Upon hearing that name, Snow’s expression instantly changed .

  Her countenance became more alert .

  And she grabbed hold on Roxy even tighter .

  [Let’s fuse!]

  [Eeeeh, right here right now!?]

  [Goo—-!]

  [I haven’t prepared my heart yet . ]

  It was a forceful fusion without waiting for Roxy’s agreement .

  Wrapped by dazzling light, Roxy Angel Mode appeared with a bang!!

  Unlike me, she had four white wings .

  And an angelic halo shone above her head .

  She looks divine no matter how many times I look .

  [Fai! Can you stop gawking at me and get going already?]

  [Ah sorry . I just think that you look beautiful]

  […… . I am glad to hear that, but it is not the time for this kind of thing!]

  [I know . But now that you’re in that form, why not make a full use out of it?]

  [I guess it cannot be helped . ]

  Roxy flapped her wings and started floating in the air . She then swooped in and hugged me .

  My feet slowly lifted off from the rooftop .

  This floaty feeling is somewhat comfortable to me .

  Flying in the sky feels good no matter how many times you have experienced it!

  [Alright then, I shall go full speed ahead!]

  [Please do!]

  It’ll be even more exciting from here .

  The reason was simple .

  Roxy had been training herself to be more proficient in using this Angel Mode of hers ever since she first obtained it .

  I helped her in this training, so I knew how it was pretty well .

  Dooooooooooooooo!!

  A tremendous air pressure hit me .

  Sound of air being broken through at a piercing speed of sound echoes through Hausen .

  If I didn’t have the protection of Area E, my body would’ve probably turned into scattered pulp .

  But with this, we should be able to reach Eris and Libra in no time at all .

  I need to know what in the world is going on .

  The two could’ve been fighting at the moment . Libra had never really hesitated after all .

  It’s always good to be careful . I thought so as I clenched my grip on the black sword’s handle .
