Volume 6 Chapter 5 Letter To Duke Kinesis
"......"
In the student dorm, Elk was in his room.
He opened a letter from the Duke Kinesis family and started reading.
There was a short message written inside.
'Write what you know about Sarissa and Rosho. Just to be clear, you have no place in the Duke family. This is an order as a noble.'
That was it.
They didn't care at all that Elk was alive.
Elk snorted with a "ha" and used Telekinesis to crumple the letter and throw it in the trash.
He pulled out a new sheet of paper and began to write.
'I encountered Rosho in the dungeon. He seems to have joined the S-rank dangerous organization "Goddess Holy Church" and was attacking students. I have reported this matter in detail to the academy, so further communication should be with Galatine Royal Academy. Also, I have reported what was done to me to the academy. If anyone tries to harm me or those around me, I will not hold back.'
Feeling mischievous, he drew a black crow with crossed blades.
'Scarecrow'... It was just a random drawing, but Elk smiled to himself, thinking it turned out pretty well, and put the letter in an envelope.
The letter would be delivered if he wrote the address and dropped it in the dorm's mailbox.
As Elk went to drop the letter in the first-floor mailbox, Emma came out of the girls' bath.
"Ah, Mr. Elk."
"Hey, just finished your bath?"
"Yes."
With her hair still damp, wearing a thin shirt, and her cheeks slightly flushed... Elk looked away.
Then Emma noticed the letter in his hand.
"Is that a letter?"
"Yeah. It's... for the Duke Kinesis family."
"......"
"Don't worry. It's just a reply to a letter they sent me. It's not something I can change."
It's a bit of a confrontational letter, but Elk doesn't say that.
Emma, looking anxious, tightly clenched her hands in front of her chest.
"Please. Just don't do anything reckless."
"Yeah. I got it."
Emma smiled worriedly, bowed, and went into the room.
Then Yato and Kaya came out. By the way, Kaya is moving in today with Yato.
She's wearing a "Yukata," which is the traditional clothing of Yamato country. Her beautiful, fair skin from her neck to her chest looks quite alluring.
Elk greeted the two while trying to stay calm.
"Hey, was the bath nice?"
"Yes, thanks to you."
Both Yato and Kaya had their hair down. Their wet black hair looked really tempting.
Kaya stared at Elk intently.
"Hey, can I ask you a question?"
"Huh?"
"That martial arts you used in gym class today... where did you learn it?"
"The god taught me."
"You're not serious, are you?"
"No, I am serious."
Elk put the letter in the mailbox and headed to the kitchen.
Kaya and Yato followed him.
"What's up with you guys?"
"Milk after the bath."
"I see."
They opened the fridge and drank cold milk.
Elk filled a glass with water from the tap and gulped it down.
Yato then asked Elk.
"Elk, who are you really?"
"Huh?"
"Your martial arts, your strength, those weird skills... what are you?"
"What do you mean? I'm just a regular guy."
Now Kaya spoke up.
"That's a lie. There's no way a regular person like you exists."
"..."
They were probing him.
Kaya and Yato's eyes were fixed on Elk.
Somehow, Elk didn't find it amusing.
"Who the heck are you guys? Kaya, you said you didn't know Yato, but you've gotten so close that you're taking baths together and drinking milk? For someone as cautious as you, letting your guard down like that... could it be that Yato is a daughter from a good family?"
""...""
The two of them widen their eyes.
While they might be the ones investigating, it seems they've never been investigated themselves.
Elk continues.
"Oh, did I hit a nerve? Is Yato the daughter of some important person from Yamato? Kaya seems similar... But if she's the daughter of an important person, the school would have sent a recommendation letter for her to study abroad. Plus, those kinds of things usually become rumors. I've never heard any rumors about that... Hmm, could she be a princess? Like, maybe the 3rd or 4th princess who has already been disinherited? Ahahaha, just kidding!"
At that moment, Kaya pulls out a thin iron needle from her chest and points it at Elk──... but the moment she reached into her chest, her body froze.
At the same time, Yato's movement to lift her yukata and reveal her thigh also stopped. A band was wrapped around Yato's thigh, hiding a short dagger.
""...!!""
"...Did I hit your nerve?"
Actually, Elk already knew.
He said with a wry smile.
"I just said that randomly... but wait, is she really a princess? Alright, I'm going to release the telekinesis, but don't do anything weird. If you make any strange moves, I'll stop you right away."
As he released the telekinesis, the two of them stumbled.
Kaya stepped forward to protect Yato.
"Who the hell are you?"
"That's why, I'm just a student. I just imagined things by looking at you guys. Even now, Kaya, you're stepping up to protect Yato. It's like you told me that Yato is someone you need to protect."
"Ugh!!"
"And... what were you planning to do to me? Were you going to kill me? If you tried to kill me in this school dorm, you'd be wanted for murder."
""...""
"I'll say it clearly. I'm not interested in who you are. I'm just living my school life for my own purpose."
""...""
"Hey, say something..."
The two were on guard.
Like stray cats entering someone else's house for the first time.
In their heads, cat ears appeared, and their tails looked all puffed up, making Elk laugh without thinking.
"Are you making fun of us?"
"No, no. You guys just look cute."
"W-What!?"
"W-What are you saying!?"
Yato and Kaya turned red and were flustered.
Elk smiled at them.
"I'll say it again. I'm not interested in who you are. But... as classmates and dorm mates, I want us to get along. If you're in trouble, I'll help you, and I hope you'll help me if I'm in trouble. Is that not okay?"
""...""
Yato and Kaya looked at each other and relaxed.
"...I understand. I'm sorry for being suspicious."
"I'm really sorry..."
"It's fine. By the way, Kaya, you usually talk like that?"
"Because of my job, I often use polite language."
"Job? Job... oh, sorry, I won't pry. Alright, that's enough talk!"
Elk clapped his hands to wrap things up.
As he was about to go back to his room, he cleared his throat.
"Oh, and... fix your clothes properly. Good night."
""Eh?""
Yato's yukata was disheveled, revealing her lower underwear, while Kaya's chest was loose, showing her bare breasts without a bra.
Elk had rushed out of the kitchen, so he didn't see the two of them blushing and crouching down.
""That guy is definitely the enemy!!""
Yato and Kaya both recognized again that Elk was the 'enemy.'

Outside the Galatinne Kingdom, there was a small chapel.
The chapel looked like it had been abandoned for a long time; the benches were falling apart, the glass windows had cracks, and the walls showed signs of being smashed with a hammer.
However, the statue inside was beautiful.
It was unclear which god it represented.
"Foolish..."
In that chapel, Rapucel Dreadnought of the 'Order of Love' stepped in.
Upon seeing the beautiful statue, her face twisted, and she reached out gently.
Then───... the statue changed its form.
It became the beautiful creator goddess, Pipina.
"Goddess Pipina... please, let me hear your voice once more...!!"
Rapucel prayed.
But───... she couldn't hear Pipina's voice.
"Ah... it's not enough. There's not enough love. I need to increase the followers and whisper more 'love'..."
Rapucel seriously thought that the reason she couldn't hear the voice was because her 'prayers' were insufficient.
If it was lacking, she had to increase it.
However... ordinary followers wouldn't do. She needed capable followers. Rapucel stood up and left the chapel.
"I need prayers from young, beautiful, and strong souls."
What Rapucel saw ahead was the Galatinne Royal Academy.
"Shall we begin... my 'Trial'?"
Goddess Holy Church
Seven Heaven Apostles, 'Order of Love'
Rapucel Dreadnought has started to move.
