The Great demon… no, The Great spirit, Yama The Daruma Raja was sitting on the floor, and its three eyes locked on to Lovis.

「Uhm… What is this Great spirit for…?」

Lovis asked Lunaire with a twitching smile on his face.

「The eye in the forehead of Yama Daruma Raja can see the cause and effect, in short karma. To put it simply, this one would directly know and tell me when someone is trying to lie.」

Lunaire spoke while pointing to her own forehead.

「I-I see…」

「Once the eyes sense that the target is lying, they will simply eat the target. The soul eaten by the spirit won’t be able to reincarnate and will suffer from endless torment in their belly, forever. Although they shouldn’t react to some petty joke, make sure that you don’t try your luck. Alright, then all you have to do is repeating your previous remarks, no more no less.」

Lovis raised his head up, looked at the great spirit.

The great spirit then opened its mouths.

He caught a glimpse of something like the outline of a human inside the great spirit’s mouth. It seems they couldn’t do anything but grasp desperately in the empty air.

「OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH.」

The scream of the captured soul resounded.

When the great spirit opened its mouth, smoke-like things inside their mouth moved on their own.

Lovis on the other hand could not stop sweating.

Not even Lovis had expected that the result of him trying desperately to avoid death was an even more cruel death.

But of course, Lovis had expected this much.

The girl, or should he say “Something that resembled a girl”, was some sort of absolute being the moment she let go of her robe.

Lovis himself was on the verge of giving up.

「L-Lovis-sama, that’s…」

Yozakura called out to Lovis but she was at a loss for words since she had no idea what to say to him.

After a series of incidents such as Lunaire’s entrance and Lovis’ lies, the inside of her head was in a complete mess.

She reached her limit when the great spirit, Yama the Daruma Raja appeared before Lovis.

At this point, she had no idea what happened anymore.

And that wasn’t limited to Yozakura, Damia and Pomera felt the same way as her.

They were as dumbfounded as Yozakura, unable to do anything but to watch the current situation.

「Is something the matter?」

Lunaire asked as if to urge him.

Lovis caught his breath, he prepared for the worst.

「K-Kanata-sama is my life benefactor. He saved my life when I was about to die a while ago.」

Lunaire looked at the great spirit’s face.

The great spirit then looked silently at Lovis.

「After that, I received a trivial request from Kanata-sama and I also gave him something as a way to pay my debt of gratitude, we then started traveling together for a while and getting along with each others…!」

The great spirit nodded slightly but they didn’t show more reaction than that.

「You don’t have to tell such detailed story but, well, it seems you’re not lying.」

Lovis heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Lunaire’s remark.

It was a really deep and relieving sigh.

Surely, he wasn’t lying at all.

To begin with, the reason why Lovis’ life was in danger was because he recklessly attacked Kanata, and the latter simply spared his life.

But, Kanata was by no means Lovis’ benefactor.

Basically everything he said, the traveling, the favor, even the gift, it was just Lovis’ attempt to buttering up Kanata, preventing the latter from changing his mind.

In regard to traveling together, Lovis had only acted as a guide since Kanata of that time was still clueless about the outside world.

It wasn’t wrong to say that they get along with each other since they literally traveled together until the city but, it wasn’t wrong to deny it either.

In fact, Kanata didn’t really care about Lovis, and Lovis still regarded Kanata as one of the most dangerous people in the world.

But, Lunaire, who had no idea about such in depth situation misunderstood the situation between Lovis and Kanata.

「… If you’re Kanata’s friend, I guess I don’t have to come here. It can’t be helped then… You may leave.」

「Y-Yes! T-Thank you for overlooking this to us!」

Lunaire raised her arm and then pointed toward the wall.

Black light wafted around the wall, just when it looked like the space was distorted, the space got compressed along with the light, and then, the wall collapsed along with thunderous noise.

「But of course, I’m responsible as someone who set you free. If I heard you commit an atrocity in some place, I’ll take the responsibility and hunt you down myself. Don’t forget about it.」

「U-Understood! Uhm, please send our best regard to Kanata-sama!」

Said Lovis to Lunaire as he bowed to her.

He rose slowly from the floor, grabbed Damia and Yozakura’s head and went outside.

After their back figures couldn’t be seen anymore, Lunaire unsummon the great spirit.

And then, Lunaire turned toward Pomera.

Lunaire squinted her eyes, looking at Pomera.

「…」

Pomera’s body stiffened.

Lunaire’s pressure aside, there was also a fact that her eyes were far more scarier than when she looked at Lovis.

Pomera saw “Something” dwelled in Lunaire’s dichromatic eyes, it was a really complex emotion.

「I-I-Is something the matter? Uhm… Y-You’re… Kanata-san’s acquaintance right?」

Just like a ghost creeping on the floor, Lunaire approached Pomera without even averting her gaze from the latter.

「Hii! Please don’t eat Pomera, Pomera isn’t delicious at all!」

「… Time-Space Magic, 23rd Rank《Retrograde》」

Lunaire pointed her palm toward Pomera as she invoked her magic.

Warm feelings enveloped Pomera, her pain and wound disappeared as her body surrounded by the gentle light.

「N-No way…?」

Pomera was looking dumbfoundedly at her own wound.

Her blood and wound moved as if the time was rewinded, and then closed like a new.

After the magic completed, there was no more wound on her body. Pomera knew that now even her powerful white magic would not be able to do something like this.

Lunaire’s magic to activate the natural healing ability of the body was on whole another level.

Lunaire then looked at the building and raised her arm.

「Time-Space Magic, 22nd Rank《Object Memory》」

The building was enveloped by blinding light.

The wreckage and splinters rose to the air, and then stuck back to their original place.

The adventurer guild building that was already on the verge of collapse was restored at breakneck speed.

And then returned to its state before the attack of 《Blood Cup》.

「N-No way… Uhm, excuse me, but who in the world are you? Are you Kanata-san’s, acquaintance?」

Pomera asked Lunaire with a bewildered look on her face.

Lunaire shut her eyes, seemingly to hesitate over something.

And then, she looked at Pomera over her shoulder.

「Your name… Is Pomera, right?」

「Eh? Y-Yes, that’s me.」

Lunaire took a deep breath, and then pointed her finger toward Pomera.

「K-Kanata is mine! Remember that!」

After saying such an embarrassing line with a flushed red face, she left the adventurer building in a hurry.

Leaving the dumbfounded Pomera behind.

Right after that, the adventurers were back to the adventurer guild.

Though they still brought their weapon, entering vigilantly into the adventurer guild, they raised a cheer the moment they saw Pomera.

「A-Awesome, as expected, SAINT FIST POMERA CAME OUT VICTORIOUS!」

「I’ve told you right? I saw it! That Lovis look like it’s the end of the world as he ran off from this city!」

Pomera’s mouth opened soundlessly upon hearing the adventurers’ remark but she shook her head immediately.

「Y-You’re mistaken! That, that isn’t Pomera!」

「LOOK, SAINT FIST POMERA IS UNSCATHED! SHE MUST BE TOYING LOVIS AND CO LIKE TWISTING A BABY’S ARM!」

「Moreover, uhm, reason is…!」

「The destroyed building has… returned to its former state? No way, Pomera-san’s white magic can actually healed the inorganic wound too!?」

The adventurer guild was wrapped in even louder cheers.

「NO, YOU’RE MISTAKEN! PLEASE STOP PLACING ALL THE CREDITS ON POMERA! I”LL GET REALLY ANGRY YOU KNOW!」

Meanwhile, Lovis and his party who had somehow managed to leave Manarak.

「Dammit… That’s so close… Damia, Yozakura, we will never go back to Manarak again, ever… Dammit, just remembering that city name is enough to make me want to vomit.」

「Just who in the world is that woman? She seems to be your acquaintance, Lovis-sama but…」

Damia asked Lovis.

「Eh, what are you talking about? She isn’t my acquaintance.」

「Eh?」

「I’ve always moved around with you guys, just when do you think I have the chance to get the information about her from Kanata.」

「B-But…」

「I don’t even know the name of that powerfull white woman. Though I managed to fool her, I honestly had no idea when she would discover my lies. But, I know one thing, she’s going to meet Kanata in Manarak. Once that happens, my lies are going to be revealed. And the next time we met her might be the end of us.」

「L… Lovis-sama…」

Yozakura looked at Lovis with an indescribable look on her face.

「What!? How can you blame me now?! You should understand that’s too unreasonable right!」
