Sera opened the doorThere were two knights standing watch just outsideApparently, they were going to escort the’s officeOne walked in front, the other in the backThey walked as they took in their surroundings that they had not been able to focus on yesterdayThere was no carpet on the floorThe ere sht places to keep the hallell-litThere were also intricate carvings on the ceiling and walls
It did not take too long for theuard who stood in front of the room announced their arrival
The tardly shuffled inIt was a bright roo inside
One person sat behind a large deskNext to hi foreheadOn the other side was a man hite hair whose hands were laid on the deskThere was a small desk near the here a small bearded man satNext to him was a sparkly, prince-like personAnd then there was Rasche, who stood leaning against a wallOh, waitOne of the beast Maki
Everyone stood up at once, which scared the two a littleThe , but the an
“It is an honor toof the human territories within this Sun WorldIn your country, I would likely be called Arthur, son of WildomWe do not have family names hereMay I introduce everyone else first?”
The two noddedSo the tired lookingof the human territories, he saidChiharu worked her brain
“And this here is Aeris of the elven territoriesHe is over 300 years old, but freely oodwill ambassador”
She looked closer at Aeris who bowed and saw that he wasn’t quite the old htHe was youthful, with silvery hair and long ears
“And this is Grudo of the dwarven territoriesHe was a good alchemist back in the day, but has since retiredHe also cooodwill ambassador to play, I mean, to commune”
He just said playThe oldas he bowed politelyHe looked like a child who had found a new toy
“The one leaning on the wall over there is Zynis, of the beastfolk territoriesHe has a oodwill ambassador”
In other words, the other beastfolk weren’t peaceful?
“I hope there is noThe people of the beastfolk territories love to fight, but they are not violent”
OkayThis is a lot of inforer one is the prince”
“I am called Morse”
“And I am EdwyFather, you really skimped out on our introductions!”
“Perhaps”
PerhapsChiharu chuckled inwardlyEdwy shruggedIt 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 AsooThe 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, noill 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 noddedThen the king began to explain to them how this world worked
“In other words, your God just brought us here without per said apologetically
“But why? We are just average peopleWe don’t have any special abilities at all”
Maki said
“Saintesses always say thatThey do not understand why they were brought over hereBut that does not change who they are”
“But how do you know!”
Maki pressed
“Because the palace was cleansed the moment that you arrivedAlso…”
“Also?”
Arthur glanced over to Sera
“You have the marks on your forehead”
“Mark?”
Maki and Chiharu looked at one anotherNopeThe bangs covered itMaki then says to Chiharu:
“Okay, let’s raise our hair together now”
“Right”
“Go!” “Go!”
Wh-why!
“Ohhh…”
“Saintess…”
“God…”
Before they knew it they were surrounded by the others, and their emotional exclamationsHowever, 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 tiht as she stared hard at Maki’s foreheadShe could tell by Maki’s surprised expression that she had the sa on her forehead too
“No, now that I really look, that’s not an eyeIt looks like a gemMaybe an opal”
Maki saysChiharu tries touching her foreheadThere really was so thereHow had she not noticed until now? It was hard, whatever it was
“We came to another world and turned into freaks…”
Maki says sadlyNo, that’s not the worst of it Maki-chan! Noe’ll never get marriedAnd I was only just dumpedI’ll never meet anyone now…
“How beautiful! Just like your predecessor, it suits you two very well”
The chancellor says with a bright srown so”
The king addsGrown? It’s going to get bigger!?
“Chihaaaru, don’t look so surprisedI shall explain”
The king saysAnd so the two face hiht on the sofa
“Sera, is this not the first time a Saintess has not fainted at this point?”
“YesIf my memory serves correctly”
But I did want to faintReally
“As Saintesses gather Miaseht off once it has grown a little larger”
I al was the size of ht off…
“Chiharu, be strong!”
“UghhPlop off…”
“It does make me wonderIs there a dent after it comes off?”
“A den…”
“Chiharu!”
“Chihaaru, it will not dentDo not worryThey say that there is no pain as wellOnce it is gone, your forehead will be noreeht, one a year
“And at first?”
“Well that is, u on Sera
“It should be once a month for the first couple of years”
“Oh, just once a monthThen that’s perfectly…not reasonable!!”
Chiharu said as she jumped to her feetShe could understand the need to purifyBut to have to excrete it as well!
