Chapter 5
Sera opened the door . There were two knights standing watch just outside . Apparently, they were going to escort them to the king’s office . One walked in front, the other in the back . They walked as they took in their surroundings that they had not been able to focus on yesterday . There was no carpet on the floor . The windows were small, but there were candles placed at just the right places to keep the hallway well-lit . There were also intricate carvings on the ceiling and walls .
It did not take too long for them to reach the office . The guard who stood in front of the room announced their arrival .
The two awkwardly shuffled in . It was a bright room with a large window . There were several people waiting inside .
One person sat behind a large desk . Next to him, sat a middle-aged made with a big forehead . On the other side was a man with white hair whose hands were laid on the desk . There was a small desk near the window where a small bearded man sat . Next to him was a sparkly, prince-like person . And then there was Rasche, who stood leaning against a wall . Oh, wait . One of the beastmen . He seemed to smile upon seeing Maki .
Everyone stood up at once, which scared the two a little . The man with long ears looked like he wanted to say something, but the man behind the large desk held him back as he began .
“It is an honor to meet you, Saintesses . I am Arthur, king of the human territories within this Sun World . In your country, I would likely be called Arthur, son of Wildom . We do not have family names here . May I introduce everyone else first?”
The two nodded . So the tired looking man with blonde hair was the king . King of the human territories, he said . Chiharu worked her brain .
“And this here is Aeris of the elven territories . He is over 300 years old, but freely moves between countries as a goodwill amba.s.sador . ”
She looked closer at Aeris who bowed and saw that he wasn’t quite the old man with white hair that she had initially thought . He was youthful, with silvery hair and long ears .
“And this is Grudo of the dwarven territories . He was a good alchemist back in the day, but has since retired . He also comes here as a goodwill amba.s.sador to play, I mean, to commune . ”
He just said play . The old man’s eyes were glimmering as he bowed politely . He looked like a child who had found a new toy .
“The one leaning on the wall over there is Zynis, of the beastfolk territories . He has a most peaceful disposition and is also staying here as a goodwill amba.s.sador . ”
In other words, the other beastfolk weren’t peaceful?
“I hope there is no misunderstanding . The people of the beastfolk territories love to fight, but they are not violent . ”
Okay . This is a lot of information .
“That is the chancellor . The younger one is the prince . ”
“I am called Morse . ”
“And I am Edwy . Father, you really skimped out on our introductions!”
“Perhaps . ”
Perhaps . Chiharu chuckled inwardly . Edwy shrugged . It seemed that this was business as usual for them .
“Well then, may we hear your names, Saintesses?”
The two looked at each other and nodded .
“Maki Aida and”
“Chiharu Asou . ”
“Aiida and Asoo . The previous Saintess only wanted to be referred to by her family name . ”
“Oh, if it is normal to use your first name here, then please do . ”
“Then, Maki and Chiraaaru it is . ”
“It’s Chiharu . ”
“Chihaaru . ”
“…That’s close enough, I guess . ”
And so introductions were finished .
“Great, now will you sit down?”
They sat down on a sofa, and the others in the room also found their individual seats .
“Now, I am sure you must be very surprised to be so suddenly summoned to this world . ”
They nodded . Then the king began to explain to them how this world worked .
“In other words, your G.o.d just brought us here without permission . ”
“Indeed . ”
The king said apologetically .
“But why? We are just average people . We don’t have any special abilities at all . ”
Maki said .
“Saintesses always say that . They do not understand why they were brought over here . But that does not change who they are . ”
“But how do you know!”
Maki pressed .
“Because the palace was cleansed the moment that you arrived . Also…”
“Also?”
Arthur glanced over to Sera .
“You have the marks on your forehead . ”
“Mark?”
Maki and Chiharu looked at one another . Nope . The bangs covered it . Maki then says to Chiharu:
“Okay, let’s raise our hair together now . ”
“Right . ”
“Go!” “Go!”
Wh-why!
“Ohhh…”
“Saintess…”
“G.o.d…”
Before they knew it they were surrounded by the others, and their emotional exclamations . However, as for the two concerned…
“3 x 3 Eyes!*” “3 x 3 Eyes!*”
Can I please faint? Surely I should be allowed to lose consciousness at a time like this . Chiharu thought as she stared hard at Maki’s forehead . She could tell by Maki’s surprised expression that she had the same thing on her forehead too .
“No, now that I really look, that’s not an eye . It looks like a gem . Maybe an opal . ”
Maki says . Chiharu tries touching her forehead . There really was something there . How had she not noticed until now? It was hard, whatever it was .
“We came to another world and turned into freaks…”
Maki says sadly . No, that’s not the worst of it Maki-chan! Now we’ll never get married . And I was only just dumped . I’ll never meet anyone now…
“How beautiful! Just like your predecessor, it suits you two very well . ”
The chancellor says with a bright smile .
“And to think that it has grown so much in just one day . This is astounding . ”
The king adds . Grown? It’s going to get bigger!?
“Chihaaaru, don’t look so surprised . I shall explain . ”
The king says . And so the two face him and sit upright on the sofa .
“Sera, is this not the first time a Saintess has not fainted at this point?”
“Yes . If my memory serves correctly . ”
But I did want to faint . Really .
“As Saintesses gather Miasma, a rainbow-colored gem is created on their foreheads . It will plop right off once it has grown a little larger . ”
I almost fainted once again . From what I could feel, the thing was the size of my thumbnail . And that would just plop right off…
“Chiharu, be strong!”
“Ughh . Plop off…”
“It does make me wonder . Is there a dent after it comes off?”
“A den…”
“Chiharu!”
“Chihaaru, it will not dent . Do not worry . They say that there is no pain as well . Once it is gone, your forehead will be normal again, before it slowly generates a new gem . Your predecessor only made one gem a year by the end . ”
Right, one a year .
“And at first?”
“Well that is, um…”
The king’s eyes swam awkwardly before landing on Sera .
“It should be once a month for the first couple of years . ”
“Oh, just once a month . Then that’s perfectly…not reasonable!!”
Chiharu said as she jumped to her feet . She could understand the need to purify . But to have to excrete it as well!
“AHHH!” The room gasped .
Plop . The rainbow-colored gem fell to her feet . Chiharu slowly brought her hand to her forehead . Yes . There was no dent . It was smooth .
“Chiharu!”
Dear G.o.d . Chiharu, 25 years old . Has fainted for the first time .
The last thing she saw was a flash of white hair in the corner of her vision, and then she thought she felt a strong hand support her .
