Part Two, Section One: “Saints And Devils”

Chapter Fifty-eight

The unprecedented international conference where saints from all over the continent gathered—the Saint Summit—had finally begun here in the kingdom of Parnacota.

Saints were typically chosen through a hereditary system, with families such as the Adenauers and the Martilases fulfilling the role of saints in their nations. Parnacota had their circumstances, and it just so happened that the Martilas family served there in the past, or rather a branch of the Martilas family. The previous saint, Elizabeth, was a niece of Count Martilas; she was from a family that the Count Martilas’ brother married into. Furthermore, after Elizabeth’s death, I ended up being sold by Julius, taking on the role of this country’s saint. Thus, this country was now following the Adenauer family’s style.

I realized after listening to Grace’s story one day that indeed, each family had its own school, so to speak, with some variations in the way they set up barriers. I realized that just hearing about other families’ circumstances was quite educational.

So exchanging opinions in real time verbally, which could only be done through written correspondence for many years, would undoubtedly be a valuable use of time.

Especially the kingdom of Dalbhat, the home of Clamu Church’s Pope who oversees us, the saints, and other church officials, and also the home of the first saint and previous Great Saint, Fiana Isefel. So I was very interested in the Isefel family’s traditions.

Ms. Elsa, does the saint of Dalbhat, Alice Isefel, also have an exorcist as her guard?”

Alice? No, that girl is both a saint and an exorcist… She can use exorcism spells as well. Although she’s not omnipotent like you, and can’t use powerful anti-evil techniques or anything.”

“So, she has means to counteract devils?”

“Yes. Of course, Dalbhat’s elite soldiers guard her too.”

Elsa answered that she, unlike me and Martilas sisters, didn’t have an exorcist guard. I had heard that Alice Isefel, the saint of the kingdom of Dalbhat, was a courageous and valiant individual.

Since the church headquarters employed exorcists, and according to Elsa, Fiana repelled devils, the Isefel family must have had anti-devil methods since long ago.

Sis, you’re up early as always. Yawn…”

Mia…! You’ve been too lax since coming here!”

I’m glad to see you so energetic in the morning too, Mother.”

After finishing preparations to go out, I engaged in casual conversation with Elsa in the garden when Mia and Master appeared. Mia mentioned that she had undergone quite rigorous training since becoming Master’s adoptive child, but judging by their current interaction, it seemed like they get along well. I felt relieved.

“But you know, when I think about it, it’s amazing we can meet saints from different countries. I never imagined that before.”

“Even without thinking too much, it’s great. As the saint of Girtonia, strive to maintain an attitude that you won’t be ashamed of.”

“Yes, ma’am! Let’s go quickly, Sis!”

Absorbing Master’s words, Mia grasped my hand firmly as we made our way to the conference room in the Parnacota’s royal palace, where the Summit was being held. The last time I entered that room was when I informed Prince Oswald and officials about the imminent approach of the Demon Realm.

“Oh! Welcome, Miss Philia, as well as Miss Mia and Miss Hildegarde. Today, security isn’t just the Parnacota Knights; we’re coordinating with each country’s elites, so it’s perfect. Don’t worry.”

Prince Oswald, thank you for your hard work early in the morning. I will come to greet you later.”

Upon arriving at the royal palace we learned that Prince Oswald himself took command of the security. Ideally, this would be the responsibility of the Knight Commander, Philip, but he was currently serving as my escort, and considering that people from other countries are also assigned to security duties, the prince served as the leader in a diplomatic sense as well. He seemed enthusiastic about his first task after the period of restraint.

Your Highness Oswald, it’s been a while. How have things been with my sister?”

Miss Mia, I told you before but Miss Philia and I―”

“…Your Highness?”

When greeted by Mia, Prince Oswald made a troubled face and looked at me.

Honestly, this girl always asked strange things, causing inconvenience for the prince.

“…Right. Miss Philia, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you after the Saint Summit, so how about we eat together?”

“Y-Yes, of course, I’ll join you.”

“Whoa!”

“Not whoa. Meddling further would be boorish. Let us be on our way…”

Hildegarde slightly bowed to Prince Oswald then hurriedly dragged Mia into the palace ahead of us.

I wonder why she’s in such a hurry…

You have a good little sister. It’s clear why you worked so hard to protect her and even risked your life, Miss Philia.”

“Yes, she’s far too good for someone like me.”

I think it’s because you are her big sister that she’s a good kid.”

Prince Oswald praised Mia. I was happy. It was reassuring to know that her goodness got through to the prince. It was peaceful time now, and I was able to see Mia normally, who I thought I’d never see again, it made me feel true happiness.

“Speaking of which, the other day, Philip brought in various anti-devil weapons that you developed, Miss Philia. We’ve somehow managed to mass-produce them urgently.”

“You’re welcome. I used Elsa’s falchion as a reference and tried to create several cost-effective items that could be mass-produced. However, I’m not sure about their effectiveness…”

“Well, unlike demons, devils are unknown creatures. However, you received a seal of approval from Miss Elsa, right?”

“Oh, yes. That’s right. Since the quality is good, Ms. Elsa suggested bringing the blueprints back to the exorcists’ headquarters.”

The anti-devil weapons I designed received a certain level of approval from Elsa. I hadn’t intended to prove their effectiveness by blowing off Mammon’s head, though…

However, the events of last night…

Your Highness Oswald, could you carry this?”

“Hm? Are these glasses? My eyesight’s quite good.”

“Last night, Ms. Elsa mentioned that low-level devils are not visible to ordinary humans, so I tried making glasses that can perceive the true form of those devils.”

“…You made them yesterday?”

“The mechanism itself was simple.”

If someone told me to counter invisible devils, it would be impossible, so first I made a tool to see them. I managed by extending my accessory creation, fortunately. Considering the worst case, I at least wanted the one commanding the guards, Prince Oswald, to be able to detect our enemies, so I handed the glasses to him.

“Well then, Your Highness, I look forward to our meal.”

“Yeah, me too. Do your best at the summit.”

After making dinner plans with Prince Oswald, I stepped into the palace conference room. Apart from Mia and Master, it seemed that Grace, her sisters, and saints from other countries had already arrived.

This is a precious opportunity… as long as there are no interruptions.

Characters so far

Main Character

1. Philia Adenauer

Jp: フィリア・アデナウアー

Gender: female

First mention: chapter 1

Our protagonist. Was the 28th Saint of Girtonia. She has a little sister named Mia.

At the beginning of the story, the prince broke off his engagement with her and sold her to the neighboring country.

Upon arrival in Parnacota, she was greeted by a welcome party where she met Bishop Bjorn and the second prince.

The next day she went with Butler Leonardo and Maid Lina to her first work to erect a barrier, and there she noticed a strangely large number of demons.

Turns out the Demon Realm is getting closer for the first time in 400 years. To counter this, Philia decided to activate grand magic on the entire kingdom that would make her bound to the capital, the center of the country.

Afterward, a letter from Mia came to her, from which she learned that her parents were blocking letters to her sister. So with the advice of Leonardo and Lina, she decided to dispatch her ninja-maid to deliver the letter.

And that’s how she made contact with her sister. Himari even volunteered to be Mia’s guard.

Then one day Reinhardt came to her and proposed out of the blue. Philia decided to spend some time thinking about it. Initially she thought that he proposed to replace his deceased fiancée with her, but later he told Philia that he never harbored such improper feelings.

Grace Martilas came to her one day to study the Anti-Evil Magic Circle.

When it became clear that demons would overwhelm her homeland and that Prince Julius refused to accept help from Parnacota, Philia found a solution. She would gather her magic power and the magic power of the Martilas sisters using the ancient technique and then activate the magic circle on the entire continent.

To do this, she taught Grace ancient magic and also wrote a guidebook that would make it easier for her to teach her sisters.

Once Grace learned the necessary magic, she went to her home.

When Parnacota discovered about dire situation in Girtonia, they decided to send knights with Philip Delon in command to help.

After Grace returned Philia immediately began to expand the magic circle. But she failed; the circle covered only half of the continent. To finish her magic, she needed to go to Girtonia, except Reinhardt was against it. But Oswald forcefully brought her to her homeland, while Grace maintained the magic circle.

There she successfully completed the magic that covered the entire continent and even saved her sister.

Girtonia

2. Mia Adenauer

She began to suspect something about her sister’s expulsion and decided to probe her parents and Prince Julius.

After she received a letter from her sister she decided to tell Prince Julius about the approaching Demon Realm. But he didn’t believe her.

So she decided to bring him to the site where she erected barriers and showed him demons.

He got frightened of demons, but even so, he hasn’t changed his mind about measures against the approaching Demon Realm.

In the end, when Julius chooses to bring Philia back, she decides to strip him of his power. To do so, she met with the representative of the first prince's faction, who just coincidentally recently became her security guard, and then with the prince himself.

One day, Himari found out that the real intention of a party organized by Julius and the Adenauer couple to bring people together in a time of crisis was to assassinate the first prince and the king.

Before the party, Hildegarde came to see Mia. She told her about her past and that Philia is the daughter of Hilda, that Mia and Philia are not real sisters. Hildegarde even proposed to adopt Mia, because for attempted assassination her parents would be imprisoned.

And so, when the party began, Fernando told his brother that he switched his dish with his own, which was poisoned. Julius began to panic and split out everything. Because the king was present, Julius and the Adenauer couple were sent to prison.

After that, Mia, Hilda, Himari, and others went to fight against the invaded demons. She fought bravery and inspired other fighters—including Parnacota Knights who fought alongside her. When Mia was at her limit and collapsed on the ground her sister saved her.
