Ciel Is…


 

Rickbert-san was very close to me, but after I handed over the captured people safely, I decided to go back to the forest.

 

Borolda-san and the others were worried about me, but I told them that Ciel was with me, and they agreed.

 

As I returned to the forest, I remembered the mark on Ciel’s forehead.

 

I could not look at it carefully at the time, but it looked very similar to Sora’s mark.

 

After checking the surroundings, I took Sora out of the bag and looked at the mark.

 

“Hmmm, it looks the same…”

 

But I’m certain that due to the amount of my magic power, the Tame should never have been completed.

 

Even the name I just gave her….

 

But there was a mark.

 

What happened here? 

 

What would Ciel reveal to me if I asked her? 

 

As I walked deeper into the forest, I felt Ciel’s presence in the surroundings.

 


She was probably close by.

 

I looked around and aimed for a place full of thick trees that would hide Ciel’s figure.

 

Adandara was a rare demon which could cause a ruckus if seen, apparently.

 

It would be a problem if Ciel were to become the target of subjugation.

 

I should be careful from now on.

 

After walking a little and stopping, Ciel descended from the tree.

 

“Thank you so much for earlier.
I’m sorry I didn’t come to see you for a while.”

 

Guruu, guruu.

 

Ciel purred, wagged her tail, as she rubbed her head on me.

 

I slowly stroked her neck.

 

Sora was also bouncing and bumping into Ciel.

 

…She bounces and rolls around, but I guess it wouldn’t be a problem since Sora seems to be enjoying herself.

 

“Right, Ciel, show me the mark on your forehead?”


 

At my words, she turned her face, which had been rubbing against mine, in my direction and stayed still.

 

“Thank you.”

 

I touch the small mark on Ciel’s forehead.

 

I faintly felt the bumpy texture of the mark on my fingertip.

 

It’s definitely the same pattern as Sora’s, I was sure of it.

 

But it wasn’t connected to me.

 

When I touched Sora’s mark, I felt a connection somehow.

 

But when I touched Ciel’s mark, I felt nothing.

 

“Ciel, is not tamed, right? What is this mark?”

 

I asked Ciel.

 

Ciel tilted her head, and after a while, her forehead glowed a little.

 

“What…it’s gone!”

 

Right before my eyes, the mark disappeared from her forehead.


 

When I touched her forehead, there was nothing there.

 

What happened? 

 

I tilted my head and the mark appeared again, glowing slightly.

 

When I gently touched it, I felt the mark’s presence on my hand.

 

“Don’t tell me this mark is made by Ciel?”

 

I looked into Ciel’s eyes and asked.

 

Ciel whirrs and stared at me.

 

Her eyes seemed to be telling me I was right.

 

The Tamer mark was the manifestation of the form of the master’s magical power, not something that was created.

 

The form of magic power varied from person to person, and no two people had the same form.

 

And since it appeared naturally, if it were a fake, it would be easily discovered… is what I had read in a book.

 

Was that information wrong? 

 


Or was Ciel special? 

 

Either way, what was in the book was generally known, so it would be a big problem if it was found out.

 

The mark might be better not to be seen too much.

 

But if it was discovered that the mark was fake, it would make her a target of subjugation.

 

“Hmmm.
It’s a tough issue.”

 

Besides, even if I could get her tamed, I doubt she would be able to go with me to the town.

 

That’s what Borolda-san told me.

 

Adandara were known to be rare and strong enough to be among the top 10 demons.

 

Therefore, he told me that I should not take her to the town because it would cause chaos in the town.

 

I learned that they were strong and rare, but I didn’t know they were so high-ranking demons.

 

“Ciel, I can travel with you, but I can’t go to town with you.
Sorry.”

 

Responding with a Growl, Ciel didn’t seem too bothered by it.

 

But still, the Mark, what should I do?
