The Demon Saint is Missing, so I Ran to Another World

The Future with Kuro (Part 2)

And so, after that visit to Jules' garden, I woke up in my bed, with the clock showing that the 'long sleep' was over, and a new day had dawned.

"..."

If I remember correctly, it was Saturday when Ursura and I went on an impromptu date, and got attacked by cultists. So, today's a Sunday, huh? Nothing much on my schedule this time, I think? So, I guess I could spend more time with the ladies.

Yeah, we should make use of our free moments, for tomorrow, we're going back to our 'business mode' once again...

"When I saw your plans for today in your head, I can't help but get excited."

"Oh?" Maddie's voice drew my eyes towards the top side of my bed. I saw her floating above me, "Good morning!"

The Human Saint swooped down and laid beside me, "I was waiting for you to wake up, see? Good morning as well, Kuro!"

"Ah right, I'll be cooking breakfast for you guys," I tried to leave my bed, but Maddie stopped me.

"Just stay here, Kuro," she said. "Lily's been working on it, anyway."

"Oh..."

"I think Eris and Lily would bring our breakfast here in a moment. For the meantime, let's stay here like this..." then, Maddie cuddled with me.

Hmm...I guess it's not a bad idea then, spending time with her on a Sunday 'morning', doing nothing but cuddling together.

"..."

Yeah, I'll fight for this peaceful life, even if I have to face an army of crazy demon cultists to do that.

"Kuro?"

"Yep?"

"What are you thinking right now?"

"Ah, I was thinking of fighting an entire cult of demons, if I have to protect this life with you and the others."

"Why is that so? We're at peace with Cherflammen, as far as I know."

"Nah, it's about making war against Cherflammen. I'm just referring to those cultists calling themselves 'Knights of Cassandra David'."

"Huh? 'Knights of Cassandra David'? Isn't that the cult Lady Gratianni was telling us before?"

"I guess so? But hey, listen, I got some important matters I need to pass to you," then without speaking, I relayed to Maddie the information I got from Jules by having her read my thoughts.

"I see..." she commented after learning all that I knew about the 'Knights'. "To think that some individuals are thinking of creating another war...haa, this is exhausting already."

"I'm sorry you have to see all of that. Looks like the road of good intentions is always paved with tears and sorrow."

"Indeed, and all that I wanted is for our peoples to peacefully co-exist," Maddie buried her face on my chest, before asking, "In any case, where did you get all this information?"

"Hm? Didn't you see in my mind who's my source?"

The Human Saint shook her head.

"That's odd..." I re-imagined Jules' appearance, so that Maddie could check him. "Look into my thoughts once again."

She did what I told her, but without success, "Are you thinking of someone right now?"

"Well, uh, yes?"

"That's weird," she commented. "All I can see is blackness. Not even a recognizable image."

"Huh? Why is that?"
