-1123- Kanase Kanon

"————"

At this moment, everyone present had their expressions changed.

Including Vatler.

Including La Folia.

Including Yukina.

Including Sayaka Kirasaka.

Naturally, it also included Rozen.

All because an incredible, pure, and immaculate divine aura pervaded the space, instantly occupying the entire world.

And that divine aura came from a girl.

A girl slowly walking up from behind Kanase Kensei.

The girl had silver hair that fell like snow on her shoulders.

In her eyes, there was a glacial light of faint blue.

And her appearance was exactly the same as La Folia, just much younger, wearing a tight-fitting outfit with an inorganic texture that vividly outlined her developing curves, incredibly lifelike and enticing, impossible to look away from.

The divine aura emanated from this girl.

But the girl's icy blue eyes seemed devoid of all emotion, becoming extremely dim, without even focusing, matching her inorganic tight-fitting outfit, giving the impression not of a human but of a doll.

Seeing this girl...

"Kanase-san...!"

Yukina couldn't help but call out.

This girl was none other than Kanase Kanon.

"She... She is...?"

Sayaka Kirasaka's face was full of astonishment.

That was inevitable.

The appearance of Kanase Kanon in front of everyone was too similar to La Folia. For those unaware of her existence, it was undoubtedly a shocking revelation.

Even Vatler raised an eyebrow, gazing at Kanase Kanon, then glanced at La Folia, his expression becoming intriguing.

"It seems like something exciting is happening."

Sensing the scent of conflict, Vatler showed a somewhat delighted expression, choosing to watch coldly, smiling as he stood there, observing the situation.

In such a situation, La Folia's expression became exceptionally ugly.

"Kensei...!"

La Folia stared at Kanase Kensei with rare anger in her eyes.

That look, it was as if some taboo had been violated.

Only Kanase Kensei looked at Kanase Kanon with affection in his eyes.

"If it's you, you must understand what kind of state Kanon is in right now, right?"

Kanase Kensei said so.

In front of him, Kanase Kanon stood in front of everyone, her head always lowered, her pupils scattered, without any reaction.

Seeing Kanase Kanon's behavior, everyone knew that something abnormal had happened to this girl.

"What... What did you do to Kanase-san...!?"

Whether it was due to the intuition of being a Sword Shaman, Yukina sternly questioned with a bad premonition in her heart.

However, it was not Kanase Kensei who answered Yukina's question, but Rozen.

"That child has been modified," Rozen said somewhat indifferently. "At this point, her body is already filled with extremely advanced spells. I'm afraid she can no longer be called human, right?"

Rozen's words made everyone present change their expressions again.

But that was the truth.

"Kanon has been an orphan since childhood, living in the Adelard's monastery until five years ago, when a huge accident happened there, and everyone died on the spot except her. She was then fortunately adopted by Kanase Kensei."

Rozen explained with a indifferent tone.

"That wouldn't have been a problem, but their identities made things impure."

What identities?

"Kanase Kensei is the former court mage technician of Aldegyr, possessing many magical techniques that require the blood of the Aldegyr royal family as a medium."

"And Kanase Kanon is a member of the Aldegyr royal family."

Rozen revealed this secret, astonishing everyone present.

"Really...?" Sayaka Kirasaka looked incredibly surprised as she gazed at La Folia.

La Folia lowered her eyelids, sighed after a while, and nodded.

"Kanon is the illegitimate daughter of my grandfather, the former king of Aldegyr, and hence, my aunt."

La Folia finally admitted to this.

As Rozen had anticipated, Kanase Kanon turned out to be the illegitimate daughter of a member of the Aldegyr royal family.

For this reason, Kanon, who could not be exposed to the eyes of the world, was brought to this island and raised here.

"The Adelard's monastery was specifically built by my grandfather for Kanon and her mother to live in. Kanon was born and raised there, unknown to anyone until not long ago when one of my grandfather's confidants died, revealing this information. The royal family learned of this and sent me to make contact with Kanon."

Lafolia revealed the purpose of her arrival on this island.

Its content was exactly as Rozen had guessed before.

However...

"I knew that you adopted Kanon five years ago, and after you attacked me when I arrived on this island to go to the Adelard Monastery, I always thought that you didn't want me to have contact with Kanon, or even take her back."

La folia's gaze toward Kensei Yukina carried intense emotions.

"But I never expected you to do such a thing, Kensei."

La folia's words were full of reproach towards Kensei Yukina.

That was only natural.

"Why did Kanase Kensei, the former court mage technician of Aldegyr, adopt Kanon, who possesses the blood of the Aldegyr royal family?"

Rozen's voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Perhaps, this is not a coincidence, but Kanase Kensei learned about Kanon's existence after the accident five years ago, so he adopted her, right?"

With the appearance of an unknown royal daughter, Kensei would naturally happily welcome her and use various techniques on her.

In other words...

"You adopted Kanon as an experimental subject."

Rozen pointed to Kanase Kanon, who had lost all emotions and stood there.

"The child's current condition is proof."

Because of this, Kensei colluded with the magus craft to attack La folia.

This was not just to prevent La folia from getting close to Kanon, but also because La folia was also a member of the Aldegyr royal family and a potential experimental subject.

Perhaps after the attack on the Adelard Monastery, La folia also thought of this possibility, which is why she secretly commissioned Rozen to investigate and contact Kanon.

As a result, Rozen did not disappoint, investigating all the facts, but never had the chance to contact Kanon, as they came to the door together again, this time with another attack.

"How could this be..."

Yukina's expression also became unpleasant.

"What a despicable man!"

Sayaka Kirasaka even cursed aloud.

Instead, Vatler, as if finally understanding something, laughed happily.

"So that's how it is, I see."

Vatler looked at Shion, his face full of excitement.

"That child has already been modified into an 'angel,' right?"

"Faux Angel."
