Chapter 230: Single Valkyrie ; Comfort (1/2)
Opening my eyes, I am met with Sora's sleeping face.
Thinking about her clinginess from last night, I let out a small sigh before using Permeation to free my arm from her grasp.
Then, I look down at Ophis and Gula who are sleeping atop my body as if it were some huge pillow.
Looking to my left, I see that Ayumi isn't holding onto me, causing me to sigh in relief.
I slowly raise my body, which slightly disturbs Ophis and Gula as the two of them both open their eyes and raise their heads.
Two pairs of beady eyes stare at my face for a few seconds before they both understandably move off my body.
Slowly floating up from the bed, I place my hands on their heads and rub a little before floating off the bed onto my room's floor.
The two of them stare at me for a few seconds before setting their heads on the bed and dozing off.
These two... They're so adorable that if I didn't know any better, I would've assumed that they were the most harmless beings in this world.
Shaking my head, I remember that it's Sunday, so there isn't school today. Now that I'm up this early anyway, it would be a waste to go back to sleep.
As such, I leave my room and make my way to the living room.
Upon arriving there, I find Rossweisse who is surrounded by a few notebooks and a plethora of papers.
”What are you doing?” I curiously question.
Rossweisse who was intently focused on her writing gets so surprised that she accidentally throws the pen in her hand at me.
I casually catch the pen before walking over to the sofa she is sitting on and telekinetically clear the mess before taking a seat beside her.
Grabbing her hand, I place the pen on her palm and say, ”So?”
”Oh... Ah, yes!” she says in a high-pitched voice, ”I was trying to work out Your Grace's foes.”
”What do you mean?”
”Here,” she says while presenting me the notebook she was just writing in.
Taking it into my hands, I skim through the content before realizing what she meant.
”Basically, you want to separate them accordingly so fighting against them will be easier, right?”
”That's correct,” she responds while smiling, ”This way, we can pick off of a certain group without any worry.”
”Even so,” I say while glancing at the notebook, ”You have taken into account almost everyone's power in this notebook. Is this what you were discussing with the other girls last night while I was preparing Jeanne's room?”
”Indeed,” she responds, ”I was surprised to know that such powerful beings are living in this mansion.”
”Well yeah,” I say as a wry smile forms on my lips, ”Excluding me, there are six individuals here capable of clashing with gods.”
”Anyway,” I say before Rossweisse can make any remarks regarding my statement, ”How about you add my power here?”
”Is that fine?” she responds, a little shocked.
”Why not?” I say, ”I will just give you a general idea of my powers, not a rundown of every single one of my abilities.”
”Ah, alright,” she says before taking the notebook from my hands and opening a new page.
As such, I begin to give her a brief description of my Code Essences and my 'affinities'.
When we reached the part about me being able to create anything as long as it's identified by the populace, she was shocked silly.
It took her a solid minute to regain her clarity before she began to frantically describe how absurd my power is.
”So, if everyone is made to believe in the existence of a weapon capable of destroying planets, Your Grace would be able to create it?”
”Essentially,” I say, pleasantly surprised by the fact that she arrived at the same conclusion that I did. It seems like I have to try this out sometime in the future.
--
Finally. Done with giving Rossweisse a briefing of my Holy Essences, I let out a sigh before leaning back on the sofa and staring at her face as she intently deliberates on the info I just shared.
”Rossweisse, what do you think of my decision?”
”Eh?” she voices in a confused tone while looking my way.
”Are you dissatisfied with anything here?”
”Not at all,” she hastily responds, ”It's much more comfortable here elsewhere. At least, I don't get mocked here.”
”Mocked?” I curiously inquire.
”Ah!” Rossweisse exclaims before pressing her hand against her lips.
”What's that about?” I ask while grinning.
