Pov Elsaris:
When I left the apartment I was wearing a minimalist dress with some kiss marks and bite marks on my neck, making it look like I was coming out of a sexual affair is the easiest way to fool anyone watching.
During the short time that we have been here, I have seen many strong people, few of them reached the level of my Father and his sisters, but there were still some among those that I could feel, I must consider that there are others stronger and that the target of the mission has knowledge of our presence in the city, so being careful in small details can be a good solution.
After a few kilometers of walking among people, I enter a jewelry store greeting the receptionist before heading up the stairs to my apartment.
"Did you also go to see Father?" (Samira)
"Yes, I received the information from the Hunger Stars, I also captured an Evil God Priest, the idiot didn't have precise control of his Aura and just hid it inside his body." (I)
"Didn't he think that someone completely hiding their Aura would be seen as suspicious in this place?" (Samira)
"Not to mention that this leaves room for others to use their Aura on you with less chance of noticing." (Samira)
"Yes, it was so easy that I still think it was a trap." (I)
I still can't believe that a simple cursed needle was enough to knock him unconscious.
"I left him with Elizabeth, but according to her his God's power is Magical and not Spiritual." (I)
"Then it's not our target." (Samira)
"Apparently no." (I)
I arrive and take the plate from my sister's hands, while I was eating I heard what she talked about with our Father, it seems that we have a clue to follow this time.
After eating I went to the room where Cinthia was cross-legged floating in the middle of a magic circle and Spiritual Runes, in front of her is a red crystal with a multicolored glow, I could feel a trace of frightening power inside the blood crystal.
Soon I open my eyes which have Star Fire in place of eyes, the blood crystal was enveloped by this Star Fire when suddenly the magic circle and the Spiritual Runes are sucked into the Star Fire which burns until only a needle remains crystal in place.
"We have the location." (Cinthia)
"I'll call the others." (I)
---------------
Two days later.
For the last two days, we followed the person Cinthia managed to track, he was clearly a Priest and he made that clear in his Aura.
He was a Human, I'm not sure if he's a man or a woman due to his delicate appearance, but I don't care either, we followed him during this time to reach other people.
Investigating in this way is unnecessary, if I were in charge I would have captured this man a long time ago to be interrogated by Lilith, which was refused.
I know the Evil God will probably notice if we do something to his Priest, but this way of investigating is very time-consuming.
Our mission is not to destroy the entire religion or stop their plans, our goal should just be to be sure about the location of the Evil God.
But I have no voice in this type of situation other than to warn about the risks of less efficient approaches.

Pov Kira's:
I was standing next to a body, more specifically speaking, sitting in her office reading her files, there were many languages that I didn't know, but at least there was Byakko who knew how to read these languages.
"(These are just unrelated investigations, there are no missing persons cases in these files.)" (Byakko)
"(It's not possible, he carries the crystallized body of a Spirit.)" (I)
"(Besides, we have proof of his corruption, he has to be involved.)" (I)
"(Why don't you ask your observer?)" (Byakko)
"(He may not be the only one, I wanted more time until I was sure it was just him or the arrival of reinforcements.)" (I)
"(This is not the time to test his powers, there are Spirits dying, this is a mission from the God of Spirits, take it seriously.)" (Byakko)
"Alright, let's get this over with." (I)
"That idiot was already dead, it wasn't me and given the lack of murderous intentions coming from you, you shouldn't be the culprit either." (I)
"How did you find me."
The man appeared as if he was molded by the metal wall, gaining normal colors and shapes when he separated from the wall, he had green disheveled hair and wore silver clothes like a type of suit, there was a white spear on his back.
He seemed calm when he appeared, I can feel his presence only superficially showing that he is close to me in strength at the very least, I see many openings and blind spots to attack, which must be traps that I prefer to avoid if I'm right.
"(The symbol on his shoulder, belongs to the Elders' leadership... does he work here?)" (I)
"Don't you know you shouldn't secretly watch a lady in her private moment?" (I)
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "All I see is a murderer or a thief, in either case, you broke into a place you shouldn't have."
"Don't look at me like that, he was dead when I arrived, it's a shame." (I)
I briefly look at the body, I just threw him on the floor to sit down, but for a brief moment I searched his body, there didn't seem to be any marks of illness, injuries, poisons, or curses.
There was no way to know exactly the reason for death, but the lack of indications of death is too strange for me.
"If you'll excuse me, I have another appointment." (I)
"(Don't move, something is wrong...)" (Byakko)
"..." (I)
I stand still as the man in front of me makes minimal movements and all the weaknesses I was seeing in his posture disappear, the white metal lacquer moves as if it were alive floating on top of his right shoulder pointing towards my heart.
"Can not let you go..."
"(Repeat right after me.)" (Byakko)
"(My claws cross worlds.)" (Byakko)
"My claws cross worlds." (I)
"What are you talking about?"
"(My roar brings the eternal storm.)" (Byakko)
"My roar brings the eternal storm." (I)
"I'll find out after restraining you with my chains."
"< Chains... >"
Before he finished speaking, the spear floating above his shoulder that was facing me moves, pointing at the man's neck, making him interrupt whatever technique he was going to use.
"What are you doing?"
"Just calm down, Joseph." (Spear)
"..." (I)
"(What's going on?)" (I)
"(Let me deal with him.)" (Byakko)
I soon feel a current of energy pass through my body for a brief moment before Byakko appears in her cat form on my shoulder.
"It's been a while, you tinhead." (Byakko)
"So you're alive Boss, it took too long you idiot." (Spear)
"Shut up, I don't even remember everything yet, I'm weakened too." (Byakko)
"Does the God of Spirits know?" (Spear)
"Of course, he knows, he must have felt it at the moment of my Rebirth." (Byakko)
"You're here for..." (Spear)
"This isn't the place, meet me like old times." (Byakko)
"You can't leave without answering..." (Joseph)
"Don't worry about him, you can go." (Spear)
When the Spear spoke hundreds of Spiritual Runes around the entire room shatter into particles of light, I take this moment to use a teleportation magic item.
After appearing in a distant alley, I walked away changing my clothes, using cleansing magic, and walking through the crowd while talking to Byakko.
"(You met him, the talking spear.)" (I)
"(He is a Metal Spirit, the spear is just a Metal element Spirit in the form of a spear, his form is that of a Metal Golem, his form must have changed by the contract just like my case now.)" (Byakko)
"(That means that man named Joseph is a Contractor.)" (Byakko)
"(If he can be trusted he might be helpful, but we must report this first.)" (I)
---------------
Pov Joseph's:
After the intruders disappear my body returns to function as the restrictions lift, my body also becomes more weakened without the reinforcement than my own Contracted Spirit.
"Who are those two, Lance?" (I)
"You can trust the Spirit and so it must be possible to change from within." (Lance)
"Don't change the subject, why let them get away?" (I)
"You don't want Byakko as your enemy." (Lance)
"I don't know anything about your Contractor, but it can't be someone simple to have him as your Contracted Spirit." (Lance)
"..." (I)
This idiot always does the things he wants, he doesn't realize how strange this situation is, a body on the floor of an acquaintance and the invasion intruders that you let escape.
"You shouldn't worry about them, just continue your activities." (Lance)
"Just stick around, I don't know if anyone else will do anything, but they must have been given some kind of mission to be here." (Lance)
"Just leave things to me, just follow the things I say." (Lance)
I had a lot of things to take care of and I thought I felt someone nearby, that's when it all started...
Now I have a lot of things to finish thinking about a lot of things.
