"Uh, uh, why are you here...?"

The high priest's successor - a girl who called herself the "White Priestess" - asked in a high-pitched voice.

She was a beautiful girl. Her long, milky-colored hair reflected the sunlight softly and flowed straight down to her waist. Her face was soft and she should have been smiling calmly, but now her mouth was slightly open in surprise.

A thin cloth veil covered her forehead and shoulders, and the pure white of her robe matched perfectly with the tranquility of the temple air.

...But even so, it's still a great sight to see.

I could feel her gaze darting back and forth from the top of my head to the tips of my toes, her pupils moving busily, as if she were observing a rare specimen.

Regardless, the question just now was definitely directed at me.

As a representative of the group, I spoke modestly: What exactly are we here for?

"Looking for a way to extend our lifespan...?"

Yeah, that's right, that's right.

My goal is to find a way for everyone and I to still play together a thousand years from now.

However, when she heard that, her eyebrows drooped and she looked like she had about five question marks floating above her head.

Then, with her white skirt fluttering softly, she took one step, then two, and closed the distance between us. Before I knew it, she was so close that we could almost feel each other's breath, and with her arms folded in front of her chest, she whispered in an ancient language into my ear.

Very few people can speak this language. It seems she wants to tell me a secret.

"Even though you're a long-lived species...? Or rather, how long do you think you can live...? I've never seen anything like this. To be honest, I'm a little put off right now."

--Ah, I can tell just by looking.

Certainly, there are some people with that kind of eye. If this type of person infiltrates the researcher ranks, it will cause trouble later on... I would like this child to continue to focus on her work at the Great Temple.

"To be precise, I want to extend the lifespan of all my companions. To make it as long as mine."

"...Ah...I see...huh? With you? Huh? The same?"

At that moment, she looked at me three times.

Then, she glanced behind me at my companions, put her fingertips to her temples, and narrowed her eyes as if trying to hold back a sudden headache.

She remained silent for about a minute with a serious expression on her face, but then she looked up to the sky and, as if she had made up her mind, opened her mouth.

"Um... is it okay? For an average person, extending their lifespan requires a lot of resolve. Even just a little bit. Of course, you know that, right? I'm asking this just to be sure."

"Hey, what's this girl saying?"

"Hya!"

Suddenly, I felt a poke in my side, and a strange sound reflexively escaped my lips. What a shame. Of course, only one person could play such a prank. I glanced sideways at the hero, who was laughing without any remorse.

"Can you stop?"

"You too, can you please stop suddenly starting conversations between just the two of you?"

"Stop it already."

The princess quickly stepped in and put an end to the staring contest between the hero and me. ...Um, what were we talking about again?

I followed the shrine maiden's example and quietly held a strategy meeting with my companions, keeping a little distance between us. However, this was surely a test of their resolve.

"It takes a lot of determination to extend the lifespan. Do you understand that?"

"Of course! I'd do anything for our longevity."

"Stupid question."

When I looked at the swordsman, he silently nodded vigorously. The same thing seemed to happen.

I returned to the shrine maiden who was waiting for me and told her with a serious look on my face.

"It's okay, everyone is prepared to follow through!"

The shrine maiden then looked for a moment as if to say, "Are these people serious?", but then quickly regained her composure and said, "Follow me," before straightening her back and walking deeper into the temple.

...Oh, it seems she has accepted it. But it was easier than I thought. There are surely many others who wish to extend their lifespan...

Perhaps my doubts were visible on my face, as the shrine maiden chuckled.

"My master often spoke about you. He said that I would know you as soon as I saw you, and that was true. He also said that I would help you when you came."

"Hmm?"

--Somehow, this is different from the personality of the Archbishop I know. I wonder if he was the kind of person who would leave such noble words behind. Well, I'm grateful and happy, though.

The shrine maiden's expression softened further, and the corners of her lips turned up.

"No, to be precise. He said, 'You won't get bored if you observe, so it would be good for you to admire it from up close.' However, Master wasn't very forthright. I'm sure he took a liking to you."

With that, she suddenly stopped, turned towards me, and bowed deeply.

"Sorry for the late introduction. I am Arinastera. I am known as the White Priestess and am the ruler of this great temple. I will tell you all the methods I know to stave off death....Well..."

Then she stopped talking and muttered to herself with her eyes still closed.

"Even if we try everything, I think it's impossible to live for 1000 years..."
