Well, then, what shall we talk about first?

After a brief flirtation, we decided to hear from Shiva to reconfirm the current situation.

Sitting on the side of the bed and crossing her legs bewitchingly, Alka said to Shiva, as if it were a matter of course.

Of course, that's why you're on the side of the saints. I must warn you, we still don't trust you.

Oh, that's sad. Is it the same for you, little man? We made love so intensely.

Oh, no, um, that's ......

「「「「「......」」」」」

--Jito.

"...... if you could tell me why, that would be great. ......"

I was so disappointed that I dropped my shoulders, and Shiva-san smiled wryly and said, "Okay.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get a good deal on it. I'm asking for a favor from my beloved darling. You can ask me anything you want.

No, you don't know Iguza well enough to call her your darling.

Ophir looked at Shiva with a half-opinion, and Shiva shook his head. Shiva shook her head and continued, "Oh, no, I don't.

I've been 'seeing' him all this time.

What do you mean by that? It seems to me that you are blind.

Shiva heard Zana's question and said, "Oh, is that it? Shiva, upon hearing Zana's question, removes the black cloth covering his eyes.

「「「「「「--!?」」」」」」

What we saw there were her twin eyes, wriggling with a strange coloring.

It was as if she could see through everything.

I felt as if she could see through everything, Shiva said.

The one who is chosen as the "shield" is literally the one who protects mankind ...... or even the world. Of course, the rest of the rare-skill holders are the same, but those with the Shield of Treasure are especially so, and they are given various roles and powers to maintain harmony in the world.

Is that the eye?

Yes. Clairvoyance is not a convenient thing, but it allows me to "see" a little of what will be important in the future. That's why I keep looking. After you left the saint of the sword, when you fell into the crater of Magrid and acquired the skill of the Phoenix, when you fought with the young lady there at the Festival of the Gods of War, and everything. So I know more about Darling than anyone else in this room, don't you?"

「「「「「ggg......」」」」」

"...... I see. So you used that power to get close to the saints?

Yes, I did. I believed in the strength and potential of the boy I saw with my own eyes. So I joined the saints to help him. But I was closely monitored, and I couldn't do much. After all, even the goddess Feenius was like that. ......

I took Shiva's hand gently and shook my head, "No," I said, smiling to myself.

And you risked your life to stop Lord Finis. I think that's a big enough deal.

"Yes, I know. ......?"

Yes. Yes, I think it's a big deal. So have confidence in us, and we hope you'll continue to help us. Because I need ......, and we need you.

"Boy, ......."

I smiled and nodded at Shiva, who had tears in her jewel-like twin eyes.

I nodded at her, smiling, and she said, "......?"

What? --Hey!

What? I was so happy to see her," said Shiva, holding my head to her ample bosom and raising her voice.

「「「「「?

Naturally, the girls protested.

What are you doing in the midst of all this? What are you doing in the confusion?

Yes, that's right! Or perhaps you were seriously in love with Iguza-sama?

In response to Magmel's astonished question, Shiva-san said, "Of course, right? I am sure that I am a 'shield'.

I'm a Shield saint, but I don't look at people I don't like all the time," she said, hugging me. I watched you because I loved to see you trying so hard. I've been watching him.

"Oh, come on, is this lady all right? ......

She's a total stalker. Even if she wasn't, I'd say she's a person to watch out for.

"Before that, you're too attached. I'm not sure if it's a stalker or not, but I think you should be careful in many ways.

While the girls were voicing their dissatisfaction, Shiva released me with a smile on his face, kneeled down in front of me reverently, and said, "Well, I'd like to make a new appointment.

Then, let me introduce myself. I am Shiva, the saint of the shield. I will be at your service from now on. Please do not hesitate to ask for my help.

Yes, yes! I'm looking forward to working with you.

I bowed my head in gratitude as well.
