Bailey nodded wildly. As she spoke, she stared at the hot chocolate glass Isolene was holding with eager eyes. Isolene eventually handed over the hot chocolate to Bailey.
"Wow!"
In the midst of this, Isolene was simply stunned by the sunny Bailey.
The members of Grand Duke Ethel gathered in this room to pray through Bailey's power. After hearing Bailey's words that human eagerness has great power, she doesn't know if it will really work, but she decides to put her hope in prayer to grab at least a straw.
While Bailey is gulping on sweet hot chocolate, Seara said, rummaging through the fireplace with a poker button.
"Bailey, can I really trust you and pray?"
"Is it okay? My ability is to amplify hope at best."
"Are there any strange side effects?"
"It's a little disappointing when your wish doesn't come true."
"How much is that? It's not enough to drive us all crazy, right?"
"If I had that much power, I wouldn't have been the lowest witch in the first place."
"Haha."
What kind of threat would such a small scavenger be? Seara, who swallowed the back words, threw firewood into the fireplace.
Chession looked happily at the family members gathered in the room.
"Now, only Anna can come."
Soon after, he heard a loud knock. It seemed that Anna had come after finishing her chores.
Chession, who opened the door, was taken aback. This was because the servants were crowding through the door.
"What? Why did you all come?"
"We gathered to pray for the safe return of Miss Mori! New family members have a sacred power to amplify hope, right? We'll pray with you!"
"...Who spread the rumors?"
Chession looked around the people in the room. He tried to pray with only a few people as much as possible to hide Gremory's situation and identity, but how could it possibly be worth it if rumors spread like this?
Whether she knew the seriousness or not, Bailey raised her hand.
"Me!"
Bailey, who had a lot of hot chocolate bubbles on her mouth, smiled innocently.
Chession burst into laughter.
"Oh, I didn't tell you to keep it a secret."
"Wow! Lillian! You're here too! Benny and Loen are here, too?"
"...I didn't expect you to be sociable enough to spread rumors among the servants three days after you came to the Grand Duke's residence."
Bailey ran to the servants she had become close to and jumped around. She was very excited to make a lot of good human friends.
Chession looked anxiously at Bailey, who was being loved by the servants.
"Bailey, are you... It's about witches, no, beauty, no. Anyway, you didn't talk about it, did you?"
"I didn't say that! He he! Oh, Elena is here too!"
"Yes. That's it."
Even though she was a bit like that, fortunately, she seemed to know how to discern self-interest. Listening to the chatter of the servants, it seemed that they had simply come to pray for the survival of Miss Mori. Without knowing the details.
Chession looked at Bailey with relief. The excitement of a lot of small things made the viewer feel cheerful for no reason.
"With so many people gathered, it must be difficult to pray in a small room. Even if it's a little cold, why don't we do it in the garden?"
At Chession's suggestion, the servants laughed and rushed out.
"Oh, of course! I can stand the cold."
"If we're praying outdoors, why don't we light a candle?"
"Butler, that's such a good idea! Calling the nuns of the convent, too! Wouldn't that give you more strength in your prayers?"
Behind the servants heading to the garden, the ghosts of Grand Duke Ethel moved with them.
- It seems that you have decided to pray outside. We're going out too.
- Yes, let's go.
After a while, people gathered in the garden of the Grand Duke's residence. Servants, nuns, knights, and even ghosts.
Bailey stood on the platform in front of them and cried out.
"Come on, everyone! If I count three, you can make a wish in your heart at the same time! One, two...!"
Bailey raised her hands high in the sky. People closed their eyes and were ready to make a wish.
And.
"Three!"
A black rainbow appeared above Balley's head, shimmering. At the same time, the servants made a wish.
A wish only for Miss Mori.
One day, Miss Mori was suddenly rescued as if she were kidnapped and came to the Grand Duke's residence. Thanks to her, the grand Duke's residence, which had been in turmoil, became brighter. The servants could not forget the moment when the Grand Duke's residence was getting brighter and brighter like spring.
His Royal Highness always lived precariously with a corpse-like face. Our good Grand Duke was a man who took care of others too much, but did not take care of himself.
When he finally began to smile, the servants laughed together. I wish for the safe return of Miss Mori, who made our Grand Duke laugh.
A faint light rose above the heads of the praying servants. The light floated like fireflies, then gathered into Bailey's black rainbow. The rainbow, which held people's hopes, was dyed with colorful colors.
Lace, who was sitting on the roof, watched the scene with pleasure.
'A child who is useless in the demon world can become so beautiful in the human world. I guess all living things have their own place.'
Me too.
'Gremory, if it weren't for you, I would have died without knowing this happiness for the rest of my life.'
In Lace's arms was a bag full of autumnal seasonal herbs. It had been frosty in the village where she had stayed.
Lace, who had only come to deliver medicinal herbs, decided to pray while she was here. She put the herb bag aside and let a little breeze blow.
Lace sent a ray of hope to Bailey at her fingertips.
The rainbow of everyone's hopes shone brilliantly. Chession chuckled and looked at the candle he was holding.
'I'm glad I did. I can do something for you like this.'
Mori, everyone you saved is hoping for it. I hope you come back safely. So...
'Come back to us.'
***
The situation in the demon world was tragic. Enemies and allies fought in a tangled manner here and there.
Alice led the army forward with a body full of life.
While Alice takes care of the bastards, Halpas and Gremory flew up and approached Kona. With high flight speed, they reached the front of Kona after a struggle.
Kona smiled happily. The smile with her long fangs exposed was eerie.
"Welcome. The dull princess and the lesser demon. As the minions rushed to protect Kona, Kona gestured to create a blast of wind around her. The minions flew far away without knowing anything, and Kona's surroundings became tidy.
"Let the miscellaneous things fight among themselves, and we will finish it among ourselves."
Kona raised her scythe. Gremory and Halpas rushed at Kona at the same time.
However, a beastly demon jumped out of nowhere and attacked Halpas. Gremory was dumbfounded when he saw Halpas slipping out so easily.
"What? Let's finish it on our own."
"Didn't I tell you? Let's let miscellaneous things fight with each other. Let's get rid of him and finish it off by ourselves."
Kona flew up and swung her black scythe vigorously. Gremory smiled as if she were petty and performed her shield magic.
By the way, isn't the shield magic sliced like paper on Kona's scythe? It seemed that the sickle had the power to cut off the entire magical power.
"!"
A scythe narrowly brushed against Gremory's surprised chest. Kona grinned and swung her scythe like crazy.
Gremory couldn't even use magic, so she had to run away. Even if she tried to use attack magic, it was impossible because Kona cut down the magic around her.
Halpas was busy dealing with the large minions that attacked him. The struggle continued to determine whether he was the strongest among Kona's minions.
Gremory just kept backing away. Then she was driven to the rocky mountain that rose high.
'Damn, what should I do?'
There is no place to escape anymore. Before she knew it, a rocky mountain touched her back.
'Oh, my God.'
Gremory stared blankly at the black scythe swinging towards her neck.
Memories of the past flashed through her mind. Is this what humans call a kaleidoscope?
'I can't die like this. I decided to go back until Chession's birthday next year.'
A witch who knows business morality also fulfills her verbal contract thoroughly.
Our Chession, we should have a grand birthday party, but it's so sad that I haven't been able to attend yet.
I also have to take care of my family members who are waiting for me. There is still so much work to be done...
'Please, if there is such a thing as God, please give me just one chance.'
Gremory closed her eyes tightly and prayed earnestly. That's all she can do at this moment.
By the way.
"Ugh! What the heck is this! Get away!"
Kona began to scream suddenly. Gremory opened her closed eyes.
"Huh?"
White fireflies clung to Kona's wings and black sickle.
