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

Escape (Part 2)

**Greg**

That surely was an ear-splitting scream from Her Holiness. I thought she understood what I was saying to her earlier; that I swore to myself, I won't make a move on anyone of them until marriage. That I wanted to respect not only their trust, but that of their families as well.

"..."

Not only those, I still had to deal with my memories lost; they're telling me a lot of things I did that I couldn't even remember clearly. I mean, there were certain 'slivers' of it in my mind. However, a good number of details were hazy, the overall picture was blurred.

How can I even reciprocate Lady Madelaine's feelings, if I can't recall the things we did?

"..."

But I didn't expect Lady Madelaine will get angry with that...

"!!!"

However, more than ending up deaf, I was more concerned with what happened next. In fact, all of us were, for the Human Saint suddenly changed appearance. She looked so different from the gentle girl she was before.

"Sir, ayos lang po kayo?" (Sir, are you alright?) Lady Noir checked on me.

"Oo, pero anong nangyayari sa Kanyang Kabanalan?" (Yes, but what's happening to Her Holiness?)

"Hindi ko po alam, Sir," (I don't know, Sir,) she admitted as she helped me to stand.

By that time, I saw Her Holiness the Human Saint wrapped in something like a black miasma, and the gentle wind earlier became a powerful gale, enough to make standing difficult. The clear, blue skies earlier was blocked by a gathering of swirling dark clouds, forming a circle directly above her. There were no flashes of lightning; however, we could hear loud rumbling sounds everywhere.

I heard Lady Lily yelled something at Lady Noir.

"Sir, sabi po ni Lady Lily tumakbo na daw po tayo!" (Sir, Lady Lily was telling us to run away already!) she revealed.

"H-Ha? Bakit?" (H-Ha? Why?)

"Mukha pong may masamang nangyayari sa Kanyang Kabanalan! Tara na po, Sir!" (Looks like there's something bad that's going on with Her Holiness! Let's go, Sir!) Lady Noir grabbed my hand, and began pulling me away.

As I was still confused at the sudden turn of events, I ran with the demon girl, though I occasionally look back to Her Holiness Lady Madelaine. She was fighting the other saint, Lady Ruro, who was summoning hailstones and raining those down on the Human Saint. Joining her was the bear queen, Lady Ursura, the falcon girl, Lady Minahaba, and the Head Maid, Lady Lily.

The others were also running away from them, though in different directions.

"Sir, dali! 'Wag ka na po lumingon!" (Sir, hurry! Don't look at them!) Lady Noir pleaded.

Hearing her scared voice made me ran as fast as my legs could carry me. However, as I was not an athletic person; soon I could feel my legs waver.

Fuck, what's going on? A moment ago, everything is fluffy and romantic. The next second, we're running for our lives!

Lady Noir kept on going, though. She kept on encouraging me throughout the ordeal, "Tuloy lang po, Sir!" (Continue on running, Sir!)

"Yeah, sinusubukan ko!" (Yeah, I'm trying!)

I heard a series of loud explosions behind us, and I had to fight the urge to look back and check on my friends. Then, after that, there was one final bang, and a powerful blast wave knocked us down together. I tried my best to protect the Lady Noir from the flying debris, some of which hit my face. Nevertheless, the force was so strong that it was difficult even to keep ourselves in place though we're already on the ground. And then, something hit my head that blew the living lights out of me.
