When the conversation came to a close, the temple director, who had been kept out of the discussion, turned fearfully to Kousuke and asked.
“Um…may I ask your name?”
For a moment, Kousuke thought about what to say, but then decided to answer honestly.
“Isn’t it too late to ask?”
“No, but…”
“Even if I tell you my name, and your attitude changes, what’s done is done, right?”
At Kousuke’s statement, the temple director fell silent, and the priest beside him looked in despair.
Kousuke let out a sigh and continued.
“I think you, especially you priests, should try to understand a little more about what it means to receive an Oracle.”
At Kousuke’s words, the temple director bowed his head and the priest turned his face away.

Perhaps Kousuke’s complaint was effective, Kousuke’s group was not monitored that day.
Leaving Biana to take care of the temple, Kousuke and the others had already left the basement.
Naturally, the priests had also pulled up.
Even if the priests tried to do something now, they would not be able to enter because the entrance was closed.
Kousuke did not dare to ask what they were going to do.
He would not ask them in the future unless they say so.
He had no intention of getting involved in any troublesome matters.
What Biana entrusted to him was more important to Kousuke.
Kousuke and his group returned to the inn from the temple, but Kousuke and Mitsuki went back to the tower right away from their room at the inn.
They needed to return to the laboratory on the Administration Floor to make what Biana had asked them to make.
There was nothing he could do about it, since he lacked all the tools and materials to work on it at the inn.
It was three days after meeting Biana that Kousuke returned to Arcis with the finished product.
Shrein was surprised that Kousuke returned in only three days, despite the fact that she had also experienced the trick of returning to the Tower and back via Mitsuki’s transfer before.
“You’ve already finished it?”
“I knew the theory from the beginning. Besides, the hardest part was already in place, so it didn’t take that long.”
At Kousuke’s words, Shrein held her forehead with her right hand.
“…I thought I was used to it after what we’ve been through, but this is really impressive.”
After saying this, she shook her head from side to side.
It would be natural for vampires to feel this way if they are told that they have created a divine gift in only three days.
Kousuke had a point to make.
As I answered earlier, the most difficult part had already been created on the jewel given to him by Biana.
All that was left was to apply the same trick as the Vermilinia jewel with divine power.
It was not so easy to create a sacred object using divine power, but Kousuke was not aware of this.
In fact, Kousuke was already one of the best in the Sanctuary at making sacred objects, but he was unaware of that.
However, the reason was that Eris and others, who were aware of this fact, did not tell Kousuke, so Kousuke was not the only one to be blamed for this.

With the desired object ready, Kousuke and his group went to the basement of the temple again.
This time, the temple director and the priests were not there.
Without saying a word, they opened the door and entered the basement.
The temple director and the priests knew that Kousuke and the others were going underground again.
Since they already knew about Kousuke, they decided that they would not stop him.
Well, even if they were stopped, they would have forced their way into the basement.
They knew this, and they were able to enter the basement without being stopped by the priests.
“You’ve completed it already!?”
This was Biana’s first comment when she met Kousuke and the others for the first time in three days.
Shrein, who was standing behind Kousuke, also had a sympathetic look on her face.
“Yeah, well. Yup, this is the Prost Jewel.”
From Shrein’s reaction, Kousuke knew that Biana would show this kind of behavior, so Kousuke did not say anything remotely like an excuse, but immediately took out the Jewel.
For some reason, however, Biana did not accept the Jewel.
“I, I am fine. Can you please give it to Peach-sama?”
“? Ok?”
Kousuke did not know why, but there was no need to force it on her, so he did as he was told and handed it over to Peach.
“Yes. Then, I’ll leave it to you.”
Kousuke said as he handed the Jewel to Peach.
Kousuke’s role was to create the Jewel, and Peach’s role was to take care of the rest.
Or rather, without Peach, the project would not be able to start.
“Yes~. Hmmmm, I wonder if it will work.”
Peach was anxious until the very end, but after receiving the Prost Jewel from Kousuke, she seemed to have made up her mind.
Clutching the Jewel tightly, she closed her eyes to express the power of her Divine Blessing.
To make it easier to do, she laid down on the blanket she had prepared in advance.
“Whoa! I’ve got it.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Yeah, it’s going to be okay.”
Kousuke, sensing that Peach had successfully manifested the power of the Divine Blessing, nodded.
♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦
What was Peach doing, to the point of needing to manifest the power of the Divine Blessing….
She was going into the past.
Peach didn’t think she could do such a thing with the power she had gained, but it seemed she had succeeded brilliantly.
“Huh~. I guess it worked somehow~.”
Peach muttered as she looked at the person in front of her.
Right now, there was one female vampire in front of her.
She couldn’t let her guard down until she confirmed the name, but Peach’s sense, which she couldn’t quite put her finger on, felt that she had succeeded.
“Mm? Who is it?”
The vampire asked Peach as she wondered what to do.
Peach now existed without a body.
The vampire, who was able to immediately detect Peach in that state, was obviously very powerful.
“Just to confirm, are you the Prost Clan’s Ines-sama, correct?”
“…Yes?”
Peach replied to Ines, who did not let his guard down while replying in this manner, and then cut to the chase.
Peach herself did not know how long she could stay here in this state.
“I understand that you are wary, but I’ll give you this for the time being. I was told that if you are a vampire, you will know how to use this one right away.”
Peach said and took out the Prost Jewel and another candy ball sized object.
“Hmm. I can certainly see how to use this one, and this one is?”
Ines pointed to the Prost Jewel.
“He said you would know if you used the smaller one first.”
“I see.”
It was a tool that would give some information to the one who used it.
The basic principle was the same as the ritual Biana had used on Shrein before.
Ines activated the tool after thoroughly checking for any strange tricks.
“…What!”
Ines confirmed the knowledge given from it and looked away in disbelief at the information.
“You’ll probably be surprised, but what I told you was all true~. He also said that even if you don’t believe it at first, you’ll figure it out in due course.”
“…I see.”
Truthfully, Peach also could not believe in all the knowledge she was given right now.
But the existence of the Prost Jewel proves that some of the information given to her was correct.
“I’d like to hear more about it if I could… but from the looks of it, I don’t think we have the time.”
Ines said, looking at Peach.
Peach’s figure had already more than partially vanished.
“It seems so~. Well then.”
“Oh. I’ll thank you just in case.”
“No, no, you don’t have to~.”
Peach lightly waved her hand and disappeared.
Ines, who was watching the scene, let out a big sigh.
“…Does that one realize the amount of power he has? Well, it’s not like I care about that.”
It was more important to make sure that the information given was true.
Ines let out a big sigh at the great task that was about to befall her.
