The Desired Saint

...

...

Fou...

...Yes, Fou. But please be quiet for now.

...

？！

Yes, Martha's on edge, isn't she? Ever since we came to this era.

There's something wrong in Ancient Rome, in the Second Singularity. It was herIt was Martha who told us that.

I assume it's not a good news. Could it be related to the dragons again?

If so, then that's odd. Wasn't she all excited about it before?

But the era she lived in before was the 1st century, wasn't it?

I have no idea

？！

...Normally.

It's normally not possible, because all souls are under God's divine grace.

Wandering the Earth, not going to either Heaven or Hell.

Such acts are not allowed, I mean, all of the...

Original Sins have already...

Martha?

The souls Oh! I detect a magical energy reaction! A large amount, dead ahead!

Based on the signature pattern, ghosts are coming, be careful!

Yes, Master!

...

？！

...Damn.

Huh?

Damn! A saint said damn? Uh, d-did I say something wrong?

I said it's freaking impossible... And what's with that stupid amount.

I thought I said all souls, are under the God's divine grace...

Fou.

？！

So I didn't imagine it last time. Something's wrong with Martha

Yes, you're right! You're definitely right! Souls wandering the Earth is normally "not possible!"

Sending them back to God's grace, yes. But ghost-type monsters, really?

They only exist because of magecraft, they aren't "naturally" generated.

In other words, they aren't part of nature. But, hold on, if that's the case then Heroic Spirits

Ohh, oh, ohhhh

...I told you.

This is freaking impossible. Why do they appear before us, especially

...before me!

St. Martha's magical energy level is rising! S-Senpai, she's going to unleash her Noble Phantasm!

Without the Master's order? S-She's pissed! O-Oh no, Fujimaru!

With Kaiju Tarasque on the rampage Rome is done for! Get her under control! T-To battle!

Eliminate those ghost as soon as you can! Is that clear?

？！

Yes, Master!

Hostiles, destroyed! ...The battle's over, Senpai.

This should put Martha back to being her usual quiet self...

...

Huh?

Foou...

If she's not back to normal, then, Umm Right, of course. I've got it, you two!

There's still something there. Rather, she's here because she sensed "this."

Something much larger than a mere ghost. This is, yes, the sixth imaginary element

Its true nature is unknown, but at the very least, its magical energy indicates is "that".

...I sense it, too. Senpai, prepare for battle.

Fou

...

Don't let Martha go out! It's likely she'll unleash the True Name of her Noble Phantasm like before.

At any rate, your opponent is

GAAAAAA!!

Picking up high level of magical energy! It's definitely a "demon."

...Tarasque.

Oh, no! Fujimaru, hurry! We have to defeat the enemy and take control of St. Martha!

Yes, Master! Preparing for battle!

...Unforgivable. Unforgivable! I'll crush it.

？！

Fou, fou-foou!!

Here we go!!

...For heaven's sake.

Haven't we enough trials to face? Just look at this world, isn't it obvious?

There's no place for anyone who can't see that, may that be men or demons. Back to hell with you!

No matter what era it is, there's no place for demons.

...Because all original sins were carried away by "Him."

...Martha...

All right, the battle's over. And it looks like St. Martha's calm again. Whew!

All's well that ends well. Wow, that was scary...

Fou, foou!

A demon possessing the power equal to a dragon is scary, but, I think I am more afraid of St. Martha actually.

Really, I'm really glad she didn't go berserk...

Pardon? Did I do something?

Thanks to you, we've driven off the lost souls and the demon. All this too is God's will.

Yes, in normal circumstances, my existence as a Heroic Spirit is unnatural.

Even so... As long as I am with you, those who strive to save the world.

My momentary existence. My shallow resurrection.

...I believe all that has a purpose. Thank you. Fujimaru, Mash Kyrielight.

No, St. Martha, thank you for lending us your assistance.

？！

...Yes.

(Huh? Did she skip my name just now?)

(Fou, foou)
