The Devil Priest and the Brave Beautiful Girl

After doing all this, Ulysses sat on the side of the bed, staring at the quiet face of the Mercury Sword. It may be because the injury on her body has recovered. Now her face looks very peaceful, and she can't see the painful look like not long ago.

"Good night, I hope you have a good dream." After lightly stroked the forehead of the Mercury Sword and confirmed her temperature, Ulysses sat on the chair by the hotel table and began to rest. After a while, he fell asleep on the table. When he was in Taji City, he had become accustomed to this way of sleeping, and he would often fall asleep like this unknowingly when he read the priest's teachings until midnight.

What he didn't know was that after he fell asleep, the body of the Mercury Sword slowly emitted a soft silver light, and something like a mirror appeared above her. There was a black box in the mirror. Under the silver light on her body, the black box slowly opened, absorbing her body and the clothes taken off by Ulysses, and then disappeared into this world.

…

The Mercury Sword opened his eyes and saw the sky that he had seen many times before. Seven stars of different colors hung above the eternal night sky. This is the eternal city of the dolls made by the father. The star that represents the cold and haughty mercury is her, the sword of mercury.

"I'm back here again, did I lose?" The last scene in the memory was the scene where the mountain of gold that surpassed common sense was pressed down. Even she can’t face the treasure whose weight needs to be calculated by ten thousand tons. She originally planned to use high-speed movement to avoid it, but she was blocked by the chaotic wind pressure caused when the mountain of gold smashed down. ,At last…

"I, can I still act?? How is it possible..." The Sword of Mercury couldn't be more clear about the power of that mountain of gold. No one can survive being hit directly by something like that. Even her body is absolutely impossible to withstand such an attack.

Although all Rozen Maidens have a soul core that is almost indestructible—the Heart of Rose, which represents the pure hearts of Rozen Maidens, is unlikely to truly die. However, if the body as the carrier of action is excessively injured, it will be restored to its most basic form until someone re-provides strength in the form of a contract to reawaken the Rozen Maiden.

And now...

There were no scars and no signs of signing a contract. As the only doll among all the Rozen Maidens who could act on her own mind, the Mercury Sword knew her body very well. There is no doubt that she was badly damaged in the last battle. However, there are no scars on her body now, which means—

She has been repaired, carefully repaired by someone who has the ability to repair Rozen Maiden.

And in this world, there is only one person who can repair Rozen Maiden.

"My Father!!" The Mercury Sword made a voice mixed with joy, expectation, and happiness. For her, her father, who created her, is everything to her. She loves him more than anyone else, respects him, and looks forward to him. It was precisely because of that strong longing and strong belief that she was able to act freely in this world without relying on any media.

She wants to see him more than anyone else, and wants to be his ideal girl more than anyone else. For her, he is her only love. Compared with other Rozen Maidens, her love is more pure, except for him, she doesn't need anything.

"My Father!" The voice of the Mercury Sword that condensed all emotions echoed in this huge city. However, no one answered her. The city, once destroyed by the mountain of gold, the treasure of the heroic king Yuke, is still as silent and lonely as it has been for thousands of years.

"My father... are you here? Why, why don't you come to see me? Am I not doing well enough?" The joyful voice of the Mercury Sword gradually became sad and lost as time passed.

She could not see her father's figure, nor could she hear his voice, and of course she could no longer accept his hugs and touches.

"My father, I'm not here anymore." After clearly realizing this, the heart of the Mercury Sword gradually became cold. There is nothing more cruel than the loss of a treasure once acquired. How much she hopes that she still retains consciousness when she is injured, even though she has to endure the pain of tearing her body apart, she can see her father who is repairing herself, accepting his hug and touch. Compared to that kind of happiness, physical pain is nothing.

The more you want to see, the less you can see, the more you want to touch, the less you can touch. However, no matter how the world changes, even if all lives cease to exist, she will never give up. For her, the feeling brewing in her heart will always belong to only one person.

"Sword of Mercury, you are a good boy. One day, you will emit a light that is more beautiful than anyone." Father's gentle smile is still etched in her heart until now, and that is what she has heard. , The most beautiful and happiest voice.

"My father, I will not forget. Only me, only me, is the Rozen Maiden most suitable for the title of'Alice', and is your most beautiful and lovable daughter." Crossing sadness and loss, Mercury Sword She stretched out her black wings again and flew into the sky.

"Father, I won't let you down again. Of all the Rozen Maidens, only I am the most beautiful and dazzling Rozen Maiden who is most suitable for the title of'Alice."

The sword of mercury flying in the sky, at this moment, looks like a real black angel, beautiful and dazzling.

Above the silent city of dolls, a black door slowly opened, and the Mercury Sword once again embarked on her journey.

…

"Are you leaving?" In the early morning of the next day, when Ulysses woke up, he found that the Mercury Sword that should have been sleeping on his bed suddenly disappeared, making him a little bit disappointed. At first, he thought he could talk to her.

"Forget it, it's better to get better than anything else. It really took a lot of effort to repair her. I hope she won't be hurt so badly in the future."
