Part 8

She had Babylon take a look in the key room.

It seemed that Babylon could separate about five meters away from the Holy Grail. It made Horun think that she could be the strongest as a scout in a dungeon or indoors.

As expected of a Goddess of battles.

『I went and took a look for you. You’re the first user to use me this roughly, ya know?』

「……I’m really grateful -ssu.」

Horun lowered her voice and responded to her.

Babylon’s voice could only be heard by Horun, but if her own voice that she used to reply to her were loud, she would be discovered.

『The result, wanna know it? Wanna know it? Nn fu~, if you take off your panties, then I’ll tell you.』

「…………」

Horun silently put her hand out the window.

The Holy Grail was exposed to the night sky.

『Hiiii~~~~~!? It was a joke, a joke, stop! How could you do something that asks for punishment!?』

「So?」

『He was there! The Holy Knight called Guryuun from earlier, he was reading a book at the back!』

「……Yosh.」

She put the Holy Grail back to the belt on her waist.

『To threaten this Babylon-sama……What a terrifying child!』

「Please stay quiet -ssu.」

「……Horun, is that you?」

Rem’s voice came from the other side of the iron door.

「AHH! Yes!」

「……It can’t be……Just how, in the world, did you get here? Did you get caught?」

「Various things happened……」

Inside, the voices of the others came as well.

「What? Did you say Horun?」

「Wawah! Could it be, did she come to save us!?」

They were Diablo and Shera’s voices.

Horun searched the bundle of key for the one that had 『013』 written on it.

「Right now, I’ll open up this place -ssu, so let’s hurry up and run!」

She inserted the lead colored key into the keyhole.

Behind her, the voice of a child was raised.

「──Book of Helena, Fourth Passage of the Third Chapter──《Merciless Claw》」

Getting startled, Horun turned around.

Filling up her field of vision, a black tiger drew near.

「Uwah!?」

She stooped down to avoid it.

Her field of vision was turned over.

「Fall in decay! 《Rust Burst》!!」

It was Diablo’s Charge.

The iron door changed into a reddish brown. Countless cracks ran along the stone walls.

With a kick from inside, the door that became brittle collapsed, and broke down into very small pieces on the ground.

Diablo revealed his figure.

「I will not allow you to injure my property, any more than that……You Holy Knight brat!」

Guryuun raised his face from his book for the first time.

He raised his glasses with his middle finger.

「Who are you calling a brat? I turn sixty this year, greenhorn──If you come out from the confession room without permission, I will kill you, got it?」
