180 - - Episode 23: What are Nazuna's instructions...?

The sight of the God of Light (Shinsama) raging made my skin crawl...... truly divine and dignified, and with disrespect, it made me a little hot on the lower half of my body.

Nya."

I'm troubled by the beast race, notwithstanding the latter part of Ellie's dialogue at ......." They do things like trying to disturb the mind of Light-sama."

After the discussion with Wright, Ellie, Aoyuki, and Mei left the office.

All three were about to get ready to respond to the orders they had been given - but before they did so, they somehow walked down the hallway and discussed their opinions about the exchange they had just had.

Ellie, who was blushing with ecstasy and shivering as she recalled the exchange with Wright, bit into May's statement.

'I agree with you, May. That is why, as ordered by the Light God (Shin-sama), we should kill every beast race that stands on the battlefield and turns on the Light God. Since the Light God, who is God and our absolute ruler, has said so, we must surely and absolutely kill all the beastmen!

"--That's right, Ellie. The word of the Lord is absolute. The word of the Lord is right. Therefore, all beastmen must be killed on the battlefield. It is absolutely the right thing to do.

Unusually, Aoyuki agrees with Ellie.

The girls seem to be strongly committed to the "beast race massacre" because they were ordered directly by Light, whom they respect and admire.

Aoyuki said, "It is fine to be enthusiastic, but please do not forget to follow the instructions given to you. It is not enough just to kill the other party in this case.

I understand. I would never forget the words of the Light God!

Nyah!"

Both Ellie and Aoyuki reply with motivation.

Mei herself did not seriously believe that the two would forget the order, but she merely nailed them to the wall in case they did.

When all three of them were about to part ways to carry out the orders they had been given, "SUR, Vampire Knight Nazuna, Level 9. 999" walks by at the right time.

Nazna noticed the three of us unusually frozen in the hallway and approached us with a smile.

Like a puppy that has found a playmate, they run up to her as if they are moving their phantom tails from side to side as fast as they can.

May and Ellie noticed Nazna's appearance and made an awkward 'wow' look on their faces.

Nazna, oblivious to their reaction, smiled and spoke to them.

What's the matter, the three of you stuck together in a place like this?　Are you going out for dinner with everyone?　Then I'm coming with you!

"............"

"............"

May and Ellie looked uncomfortable and pondered, 'How should I reply ......?

Nazna was not called to that place earlier, despite her level 9999. Therefore, she was the only one who did not receive an order from Light.

If she honestly replied, 'I was called to the office because I received an order from Wright,' there would be an awkward atmosphere.

If she was only sad, or if Nazna sulked, it would be very troublesome.

The two smart people, Mei and Ellie, wondered for a moment how to tell her.

Aoyuki, who had no hesitation, took advantage of this opportunity to throw in a suggestion.

We have just received an imperial order from the Lord to exterminate the beast race on the battlefield. On my way home.

What?

Oh, Mr. Aoyuki!

Aoyuki, who is annoyingly tangled up with Nazuna on a daily basis if she spots him, returns the favor.

The answer is so straightforward that Ellie is taken by surprise.

Mei awkwardly and quietly meditates and puts her hand on her forehead.

Seeing the reactions of the other two, Nazna understands that she is the only one who was not called to the light.

The bright atmosphere that she had emitted earlier, like the sun despite being a vampire, disappeared, and she looked sad like a puppy wet in the cold rain.

He looked sad like a puppy drenched in cold rain. "Mi, everyone was called, but I can't believe I was the only one not called. ...... Did I do something to offend the master without his knowledge?　Or did they just hate me?"

"Hmm."

Aoyuki!"

Aoyuki gives a small laugh in front of Nazuna's dejected appearance.

It seems that he had been so annoyingly involved with her that he had built up a lot of resentment.

However, it was too much for her, so Ellie sent out a sharp voice and a murderous tone.

Aoyuki turns away and says "Nya~" to cover up her mistake.

Ellie lightly coughed and then called out to Nazuna.

The God of Light (Shin-sama) wouldn't dislike Nazuna-san. And if you do something that would make him angry, he is a very open-minded person who will point it out to you. The reason why he didn't call on Ms. Nazna in this case is because he is the God of Light, and he has a far-reaching and mysterious mindset that we can't possibly understand.

But maybe I did something without my knowledge and that's why the master is angry with me. ......

Nazna, don't think too much. As Ellie said, Mr. Wright had something in mind when he didn't talk to Nazna.

But ......"

May and Ellie comfort her, but Nazna is unusually depressed and whimpers with teary eyes.

The two stay by her side and continue to comfort her until she calms down.

Aoyuki, who created this situation, has already disappeared and left.

Later, Light hears about this incident via Mei.

He immediately calls her to his office to follow up with Nazuna.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

(This time, the mission must be sensitive to rescue the humans who are being held captive by the Allied Beastmen Nations. It is not just a matter of defeating the enemy. That's why it's a little difficult for Nazna, so I didn't call on her this time as the right person for the job. ......)

It is not a good idea to tell Nazna the facts about the chest in quicksand.

Therefore, he uttered the excuse he had thought of beforehand while patting Nazna's head in a comforting manner.

I don't hate Nazna," he said, patting her head comfortingly. I'm rather sad that you thought so.

Ugh, sorry ......"

Nazna's shoulders slumped at my words.

I stroked her shoulders again to encourage her.

I didn't call Nazna for a good reason. I didn't call Nazuna for a good reason.

In effect, though, it's just a plaything. The two of them get along well, perhaps because they are close in mental age.

I don't expect Nazna to tell Yume about the beast race's misdeeds, but just in case, you know?　That's why I didn't dare to let Nazna talk to Yume, who is pure and kind-hearted, in order to keep her from hearing about the evils of the beast race. If she doesn't overhear what is being said, she won't let it slip out.

That's my master!　If you want to fool your allies, start with your enemies!

Hahaha, if you put it that way, 'If you want to fool your enemies, start with your allies.

Nazna, perhaps believing my words, regains her energy and looks at me with sparkling respect.

It seems that the misunderstanding has been cleared up.

I was relieved and kept patting her on the head to make her mood even better.
