“Ah!”
“Ah, ah, ah!”
Shortly after Sirius ran into the bush, a miserable cry rang out.
It was the most desperate scream anyone could make.
Not a single person screamed.
However, whether it was one person or two people, the result was the same.
The screaming didn't last long.
But that was not the end.
After the screaming, there were cracking sounds, breaking sounds, and tearing sounds.
“……Kkk.”
The accompanying knights who tried to rush in froze in a position that was predictable from just the sound.
Deyarin also waited outside the bush, breathing nervously.
The killers in the jungle are no longer of this world. But Sirius' harsh voices continued.
Dearyn's mouth became dry.
“Are you okay now?”
"Are you well!"
“If there is anything we can do to help……!”
The accompanying knights began to tremble for no reason as they thought that the situation was now safer.
For a moment, Dearyn felt the fever all the way to her head and turned around.
These young chicks with no battlefield experience are just talking!
“Calm down!”
Dearyn screamed, but no one heard.
As if they thought the situation was over, the tension that had been building suddenly eased.
The one who invites Ceres, the one who grovels after Charlotte and Sivian, the one who pretends to know by looking at the chariot's arrows….
The busy traffic continued.
The tension in Dyaren became more acute.
If Sirius's attention was diverted like this...
“Ah, ah!”
……He was focused.
Sirius, covered in blood, jumped out of the bush, screaming.
From head to toe, there was not a single part of his body that was not soaked in blood.
However, Dayarin did not have time to choose between the two.
In addition, an unfortunate incident that would lead to the blood of Sivian and Charlotte had to be prevented.
“Sirius!”
Dearyn ran out and hugged Sirius with her whole body.
It had other people's blood and flesh on it, but I didn't have time to worry about that.
I couldn't stop him once he crossed the road.
Like a sloth, he wrapped his arms and legs around Sirius' neck and waist.
However, the speed of Sirius, who was rushing towards the chariot with Dearyn wrapped around him like straw, did not slow down.
“Ah, ah!”
The guard knights who spotted Sirius' face screamed in fear.
You idiots!
Then it becomes more motivated.
As a natural result, Sirius' screams became stronger.
It wasn't an intentional attack, it was an epileptic seizure.
"no!"
Dearyn hugged Sirius' head and covered his eyes.
Sirius, who didn't care when she hugged him, also flinched when he was blinded.
“Shh, calm down. Quiet…….There are no more enemies. This is not the enemy.”
“Kkkkkkk!”
"Let's breathe. Slowly. Breathe in."
"the curse!"
But as usual, Sirius did not calm down.
The situation was different.
Unlike the small everyday sounds that used to motivate Sirius, now it was like being pushed into battle again.
There was an attack and I saw blood.
The gazes of the accompanying knights were also hostile.
Sirius' five senses were tense, just like a battlefield.
Even if you are blindfolded, it is not difficult to run to the location you saw.
Sirius ran blindly.
Meanwhile, I faintly felt Deyarin tearing my hair and kicking my back.
“Oh! Oh! Oh! No way, calm down!”
A faint sound of crying was also heard.
This was the only mixed sound in the Blood Red Humming Realm.
"Whistle! Use the whistle!"
Robin shouted at Darren.
But Diarin shook her head. She clung tighter to Sirius.
Now, Dayaren is starting to get into trouble as well.
Sirius tried to take Dearyn away.
However, Dyarin's toughness was not easy.
Dearyn hugged Sirius's head and infused him with divine power.
“Calm down, please. If this continues, we will all die!”
"yeah …."
"Please! Now you will live as a human!"
I am not afraid of death. But Dearyn's voice was very sad.
M.M.: I discovered that in the novel, the writer changed the pronoun of the first person without warning, whether he is the hero or the heroine, but the concept is correct
“Master Sirius!”
I felt like this voice was tearing my heart apart.
Sirius stopped moving for a moment in pain.
“……Mr. Sirius?”
Deyarin, who was hanging, noticed the movement sensitively and stopped.
"after……."
Once I stopped, my breathing gradually began to slow down as if my body had become stiff.
The blood in front of my eyes became a little more visible.
Instead, the loud sound of Dearyn's heart pounding filled the air.
“You've calmed down a bit...?”
Dearyn also regained her composure as Sirius' condition became calmer.
When she carefully released the arms that were holding her head and tried to look at her face, Sirius hugged Dearyn's waist tightly and held her close to her body.
"What?"
Dearyn grabbed Sirius' head again.
Only then did Sirius take a deep breath again.
When the sound of Deyaren's heart faded, a blood mist rose in my mind. I needed this heartbeat now.
Sirius clung to Dearyn's waist for a long time until the blood completely drained from her mind.

An unexpected accident occurred. But the results were also unexpected.
Charlotte wasn't too surprised by the assassination attempt happening before her eyes and seeing Sirius having a seizure.
“Assassination attempts happen all the time.”
Charlotte kindly comforted Dearren who was somewhat worried.
"Anyway, it's really hard. It was harder than I thought."
“I'm just following the ruler's will.”
As he answered solemnly with a piece of meat hanging from his hair, it gave off an air of martyrdom.
Although it was not Deyaren's intention, Charlotte lowered her head with an extremely impressed expression.
“I am amazed by the ruler’s mercy and his wide love, and I was twice touched by the priest’s courage in carrying it out.”
“Because that's the mission.”
Even in this harsh situation, Deyarin did not forget her mission until the end.
It is about projecting the appearance of a holy priest and maintaining a “hard working” image. That was Deyarin's mission.
“I cannot dare to interfere with God’s holy work, but if there is anything I can do as a human being, I would like to do my best to help.”
In the end, Diaren got the result she wanted.
The process was not at all going in the direction I wanted.
Deyarin, who was exhausted in the process, was able to respond with integrity like a martyr.
Thanks for your help, but… I feel like I'm going to die now….
My body and mind were in tatters, so I didn't even feel the urge to tear anything apart.
“Are you okay, Your Royal Highness?”
Although Charlotte is someone who has survived all the hardships of the world and is not surprised by most things, young Sevian could have been different.
An arrow directed at him killed a person a stone's throw away, and the one who killed him fled, covered in blood.
However, instead of being surprised, Sevian seemed excited.
"Yes! What about Sirius?"
“He's resting now. I'm sorry I surprised you so much.”
“I wasn't surprised! It's great!”
"…… Yes?"
That's another thing.
Diarin looked at Sevian in confusion.
Sevian's eyes flashed and he clenched his fists.
"Sirius is strong! Tell him I'll see him later at the party!"
It wasn't that it was rude and surprising, but it was nice to be strong.
Although a love of powerful things is characteristic of children, Sevian seems particularly so.
……Let’s be extraordinary.
……Maybe you have poor eyesight?
However, it was better than rolling over and crying.
On the other hand, Dayaren, who was worried that she might be surprised, stopped thinking.
“I'll be sure to tell him.”
"The priestess must have a hard time. Debuting in a social world is no ordinary matter."
“I will do my best.”
“In fact, everyone around me was skeptical, but after seeing him today, my expectations rose.”
Dearyn tilted her head at Charlotte's words.
Even after seeing this, your expectations went up?
Just like Sevian, who saw Ceres covered in blood and thought it was wonderful, he had exceptional standards for worldly affairs.
There was something else that Deyarin suspected.
Charlotte was talking as if she was the one who requested this project.
'No no! You shouldn't wonder about these things!'
The more you know about the inner workings of high-ranking people, the more you will be able to participate.
Deyaren's goal was clearly defined.
Do your best to make Ceres a master and make his debut in the social world.
If she is promoted to the position of high priest and takes charge of the temple, it will be a happy ending.
It is unacceptable to get involved in the affairs of someone higher than that.
When I found out, there was nothing I could do. It just makes you feel uncomfortable.
“There will come a day when I can chat with Sirius, right?”
"naturally."
“I will wait for that time.”
Charlotte smiled softly like a flower and extended her hand to Dearyn.
“Ah, my hand looks like this now...”
Dearyn's hands were extremely dirty with blood and flesh from clinging to Sirius.
But Charlotte smiled as if nothing had happened and did not withdraw her outstretched hand.
“It is an honor to be able to hold your generous hand.”
l
It was truly incredible courage.
Having said that much, I couldn't sleep without him any longer.
Dearyn hurriedly wiped her hands with the priest's uniform and quickly took Charlotte's hand.
The feel of her hands was surprisingly smooth.
But what surprised Dayarine the most was the energy she felt through those hands.
‘Oh……?’
It was divine power.
