The blonde lady wearing loose clothing tucked the large billboard underneath her armpit as she moved through the crowd. At the same time, she felt aware of herself. Although she had to admit that she noticed what she was doing, her feelings were unable to handle anything that was unplanned for completely.
The lady placed her empty hand into the pocket of her pants. At this moment, her pants dropped slightly, but she didn't seem to mind. She pulled out something from her pocket. It was flash cards used for memorizing English words, but there was nothing written on them. It was just thick white pieces of paper passed through a metal ring.
"Ugh..."
The lady bit a card with her teeth, and pulled it from the metal ring. At that moment, words appeared on the paper like it was litmus paper. In print font, the yellow words 'Water Symbol' appeared on the card. They were written in yellow ink and were in English.
The lady put the other flash cards back into her pocket, and placed the card she was biting on near her ear, like a seashell.
"Ah-ah, hello hello. I'm Oriana Thomson. Can anyone hear me? Please respond."
Though it seemed like she was talking to herself, the flash card that was near her ear transmitted a voice that was so soft it didn't seem to vibrate the air at all.
"Don't say your name aloud. Be careful, your voice may be heard throughout the surroundings. It'll be more difficult if your real identity is exposed."
It sounded serious.
Hearing this, the woman named Oriana bitterly laughed, and said,
"I'm already in trouble now. This onee-chan prefers an improvisational performance. But this isn't a situation you'll like, right, Lidvia Lorenzetti?"
The other person on the phone, the one identified as Lidvia, remained silent for a while,
"Don't speak to me in such a wretched expression. For religious reasons, I can't keep in line with your tone."
"I guess. To a nun who likes to use endurance to cause people to panic, it's hard on you to punish others verbally. Do you know? The illusions of the angels that those martyred Saints saw before their deaths may be seen as an abuse of ecstasy from the viewpoint of science."
"..."
"Aiya? Don't tell me you don't like to hear anything from science's viewpoint? You're the type that'll check for those who are rejecting the Word when you're using mass psychology?"
"...The one that's mindful is actually you..."
Hearing the other party say this, Oriana unhappily kept quiet. She was starting to panic, as this call would be meaningless if this kept up.
"Is it that I played with a bit too much fire, Missy? Then this onee-chan will apologize to you now."
"I remember that you're younger than me."
"Even so, you're still a Missy. No matter how old you are, you're still a Missy. Isn't the greatest wish of a nun to age while retaining the identity of a Missy?"
"To people who advocate the Gospel to the poor, it's inappropriate to call someone older a Missy. You must have received the word of the Bible, once a nun becomes a member of God's family—"
You're going to nag on? Oriana sighed.
A typical Roman Catholic, Lidvia Lorenzetti would get emotional the moment she started to talk about praying to God or the truths about spreading the Gospel.
Oriana listened to her nagging without paying attention, as she tried to find an opportune time to butt in.
"Then, regarding this trouble that I was talking about just now..."
"—We nuns are the brides of God, thus having a relationship with others is like being disobedient to God...what I want to say is..."
"Maybe another time."
Oriana simply changed the topic,
"Basically, the spell that this onee-chan cast on herself is now broken."
That spell.
The name of it was called "Silent Coin".
The spell that Oriana used was used to ensure her safety. It was a spell that absorbed the mentality 'to chase after her' from her pursuers. It was useless when one was facing her in a conversation, but by turning her back on the other party, the other party would feel, 'there's no reason to call her,' 'I'll talk to her next time,' and not call her. It was a spell that used the people clearing field and expanded on it.
While this spell was working, even if Oriana was holding a fireball or anything dangerous in her hand, 'nobody would want to call her.' Because of this, she was able to carry out the plan and the 'deal'.
But for some reason, Oriana was unable to reconstruct that spell that had been broken.
"Then what's the reason?"
"I don't know."
"Any countermeasures?"
"I have no idea either."
"..."
"Oi, don't hang up the phone! This nee-chan has no interest in sinking and drowning in this painful silence."
"Then what will you do now? Come up with a countermeasure."
"About this..."
Oriana Thomson chuckled.
"...First, I have to get away from that little kid behind me."
