When I opened my eyes, I had to blink a few more times to get used to the light shining directly on my face. 

 

 

When my eyes got used to the light, we looked straight ahead and all I saw was a "familiar ceiling". Seriously, when am I going to say that damn line? I was currently in the church infirmary and damn it is a really big place. 

 

 

When I felt someone to my left, I turned there and found xenovia very close to my face, our noses almost touching.She's seriously cute but to be honest I'd rather see her older version, after all I'm not a fucking lolicon 

 

 

slowly lifted my upper body off the bed, taking care to move slowly so as not to wake Xenovia. 

 

 

When I looked over Xenovia, I saw a mess of a bed there. Did this girl seriously wake up at night and come to me? 

 

 

When I looked around a little more, the infirmary was completely empty, heh, this is rare. There are usually a lot of people here, either people who were injured on the job or were injured on duty and came here to recuperate, or just nurses. 

 

 

I want to shake the hand of the person who designed those nurse uniforms, I couldn't help but think that he was the same person who designed the tight combat suits. 

 

 

"Daniewlle~" hmmm xenovia was humming my name in her sleep, I was really worried wasn't I? I never understood why you were so attached to me 

 

 

[Maybe it's because you're stupid, huh, partner]

 

 

 

<Ohh Regulus I forgot you> [Have you forgotten the giant golden lion that talks to you in your head? I don't know whether to admire or despise it]

<Yes, yes, Mr. majestic lion, you are always right. >

[I'm glad you noticed, it means there's still hope for you]

 

.

 

..

 

...

 

Pffft[*chuckle*]Both me and Regulus couldn't help but giggle. 

 

 

I slowly freed my arm from Xenovia’s hands and covered her with the blanket. 

 

<What was the result>. [You won the bet and by the way, *instant change* occurred and the golden aura was unlocked]

 

I couldn't help but feel excited. Just as was about to call regulus Nemea and check, I heard a voice from the door. 

 

The infirmary door opened and Griselda entered. She saw me and quickly approached me. His hands checked various parts of my body, "Do you have any pain?" She seemed to relax a little when I shook my head in a in the sense of rejection 

 

 

When she saw Xenovia, she pointed her finger at her and looked at me, raising one eyebrow.

I raised both my hands in the air as if surrendering "when I woke up she was there"

 

 

Hearing our voice, Xenovia grunted slightly, shifted a little on the bed, and then finally stood up. 

 

 

When she saw me, she instantly jumped out of bed and hugged me, seriously why is she so clingy today, but I was a little surprised by the slight shaking of her arms hugging me. 

 

 

Griselda finally clapped her hand hard once, and xenovia, seeing that her protector was finally here, instantly pulled away from me and stood upright.

 

 

"You two change into your clothes and follow me." He directed us both to the changing areas 'When we left I was wearing a hooded cardigan and long sports shorts ,xenovia short sleeve hoodie and short shorts 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We finally followed Griselda as she walked ahead. When we entered a room with luxurious furniture, the table was full of food. 

 

 

* growls*Hey, don't blame us, after all, we faced a giant, we deserved that food. Even though I say this, I can't deny that my face turned a little red, it was a little embarrassing after all.When I looked at Xenovia I saw that her ears were a little red 

Cute. wait what???

 

 

In the room, there was a little girl about Xenovia's age who was laughing at our expense and a middle-aged man who was giggling slightly.

 

Once the man calmed down and stood up 

 

“My name is Shidou Touji . I am the pastor of the Protestant Church of England., The purpose of being here is basically to exchange young apprentices for a year between the two church in order to improve relations with the Vatican. “

I wondered who would go from our side, but luckily Mr. Touji didn't keep me waiting too long. 

 

 

"There was an exchange between Mr. Nero Raimondi from your side and my daughter Irina Shido from our side.”

 

 

Nero Raimondi?I think it was the guy with the Sturdy Saint 

 

"Hello, I'm Irina Shido" The girl introduced herself cheerfully, showing off her energetic nature. 

 

 

"I'm daniele berti and this is xenovia"I also introduced myself and xenovia because this girl is looking at Irina intently , *sigh*This little battle freak is probably trying to guess how strong Irina is. 

 

 

"hey hey, can I see that golden lion one more time" Close!!! This girl suddenly came in front of me and was looking at me with bright eyes At first I thought of saying no After all, it hasn't even been an hour since we met. "I'm sorry bu-“ Just as I was about to refuse, she looked at me with puppy dog eyes..... That won't work on me, you sly little girl. 

 

 

"*cough* If you don't mind, I'd like to see it too. After all, you can't always see a longinus." What do you mean “always”, old man, don't talk as if you see it “sometimes”, as if I don't know that you persuaded me just to flatter your daughter. 

 

 

"*sigh* understood" this is an event to deepen the relationship between the two parties, and if I mess this up, the evil empress behind me may increase my training 

 

 

<Partner> I called out to my partner before he appeared in a golden light 

 

 

As always, with his golden mane and huge body, It looks really majestic 

 

 

If she had been a normal child, they would have run away in fear, but Irina kept circling around him, her eyes shining. 

 

 

[Partner, this girl...... Weird] I'm sorry Regulus, but this world itself is strange. 

<Hang on partner, hang on >Irina finally decided to walk around him a little more and throw herself on Regulus, or rather on his mane, but she was caught by her father at the last moment. 

 

 

"That's enough, Irina." Even though Irina pout after her father's words, she eventually did what he said and apologized to us. Regulus immediately stepped aside as soon as the irina left 

 

 

“I'm just so sorry, I couldn't help but get excited when I saw a golden lion , isn’t this a sacred gear? Which ????" Aaaaand once again she approached my face and asked curiously , Seriously, what is this energy? Calm down, you ero-angel of the future. 

 

 

"this is regulus nemea, that is, a longinus" As soon as I said the name Longinus, Irina looked at me with her mouth open, heh, this reaction is funny 

 

 

Finally, xenovia, who could not bear to wait, intervened, "Warrior Irina, do you want to spar with me?"Irina was surprised at first but later accepted it, after all, she had also seen the war with Vasco and she was curious about xenovia

 

 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They were both facing each other on the training field, although they both had wooden swords in their hands, their stances were different. 

 

 

Xenovia took a stance more like western swords or knight style while irina took a stance more like Japanese swordsmanship 

The two sides began the fight at the signal given by me, who was eventually forced to become the referee. 

 

 

While Irina uses fast, agile and dodge tactics, xenovia prefers to use strong and hard attacks. 

 

 

But even though Xenovia had a little difficulty at first due to the training she received from Vasco, she eventually managed to defeat Irina. 

 

 

“I lost " Irina was looking at the ground slightly, after all she is still 10 years old, wait I'm 10 too 

 

 

Anyway, since I was the referee, Irina was quite close to me, so I gently patted her on the head. 

 

 

"You did your best, also, xenovia is very serious about education, even I can't completely trust the victory." (Unless of course I use regulus otherwise hohoho) 

 

 

 

Although Irina was surprised at first, she eventually smiled and clapped a fist in the air, confidently declaring “Yes, next time I will definitely win, and I will beat you, xenovia, my opponent.”

 

 

"Don't proclaiming yourself the rival of others. You are self -proclaiming rival “ So that's how this nickname came about 

 

 

"hey!! What's that nickname?"   

 

"The most suitable nickname for you, and how long do you plan to pattet her head, Dany?" She said the last part with a smile but why does this smile look like Griselda's!!!!!!

 

[Here begins the parts I've been waiting for the most, someone bring me some popcorn]

 

Shut up Regulus 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

After the training fight, xenovia did her usual routine and took a little nap in Regulus' mane. This is seriously starting to become a habit. 

 

Since the weather was nice today, we lay down outside under the shadow of the big tree, or rather, regulus was lying down, and we lay on regulus. 

 

 

Irina's gaze was moving back and forth between me, xenovia and Regulus, as if she wanted to say something but was holding herself back. 

 

 

I looked at Regulus lightly, after all, if he didn't want it, I wouldn't let her either. 

 

 

[come here little girl you can lie down on the other side of partner] Looking at Irina and her hopeful eyes, Regulus finally gave up with a sigh. Heh, hard outside and soft inside kitty

 

 

Irina also came and lay on my right side "uwaaaa, very comfortable and also soft" Irina moved a little more to enjoy Regulus' mane.

 

 

[know my value partner, you get girls because of me] <What nonsense are you talking about, you horny lion >

 

 

[horny lion ? Bitch I'm the best wingman]< Wingman? We are about to turn 11, have you had anything to drink >

 

[then let's call it an investment in the future]<Great, now you have become an investment genius > Felt like Regulus shrugged [maybe]

 

 

While we were having our usual discussion with Regulus, a light wind blew from the side, combined with the comfortable place we were in, we couldn't help but fall asleep.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I opened my eyes when I felt someone poking my cheek , When I looked up at the sky, the sky was a shade of orange and the sun was starting to set. 

 

 

Then I looked at the person who poked me, Griselda was looking at me with slight amusement. Why is she looking at me like that ??Vasco was giggling quietly in the background 

 

 

Just as I was about to sit up, I felt a force that prevented me from moving. 

 

When I looked to check they were xenovia and irina

 

 

Irina hugged my right arm with both arms, Meanwhile, xenovia was almost lying on top of me with one arm wrapped around me and one leg on my legs. 

 

 

[You’re welcome]

 

 

.. .........WHAT THE HELL 

 

 

"You look pretty happy there young daniele" Vasco said to me as he continued to chuckle lightly. 

 

 

Griselda sighed before looking at me with a still amused grin. "Pick up the other two and come to the training ground, Irina will also join the training." Poor Irina, they added another victim 

 

 

When the two of them went to the training field, I picked them up .While Xenovia was acting as if nothing had happened, Irina was avoiding looking at me, blushing slightly. Cute

 

 

See, that's the real reaction you need to make, xenovia

 

Everything continued with Irina joining the training, 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We celebrated xenovia's birthday after 1 month ,As for the gifts , Irina bought xenovia new running shoes, after all, she was using the old ones too much , Griselda is a dress that she hope will be a little more Feminine . It was really beautiful by the way. I bought a sword necklace with wings around it, which I bought by saving the pocket money from my family. 

 

 

When Xenovia saw my gift, she asked me to wear it and I saw no problem. When she stood behind her and pulled her hair aside, I didn't realize they had grown this long. Vasco gave her a large allowance, just as he promised, but he also said that he would give Xenovia her other gift in private.Meanwhile, Griselda was looking at Xenovia with both pride and concern. . ..hmm Curious 

 

 

When the gift ceremony was over, we ate cake together, it was strawberry cake. 

 

 

When the celebrations were over, I went for a walk in the garden. 

 

Xenovia goes to talk to Vasco, and Irina communicates magically with her father. 

 

 

"What are you doing here alone?" Probably the sweetest and most feminine voice I've ever heard asked this from behind me. 

 

 

When I turned around, in front of me was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. 

 

 

In a black nun outfit , Curly blonde hair reminiscent of gold, blue eyes reminiscent of the sea and a very attractive body. 

 

 

Just......wow

 

 

[she's an angel]. <I think so too> [No, lover boy I mean real angel]

 

....... What!!!!!!!!!!
