A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

― ― We spirituals look forward to seeing you whenever and wherever you want.

― ― We spirituals respect the will of the spirits as a matter of the highest priority.

--I would like to apologize for the incident the other day, so I would like to see you if I can.

Such was the case when the contents of the letter received from Sofia and the polite letter were bulleted.

(Hmm... it seems convenient for me, but I don't really feel like I have any choice...)

Especially the last part, Reurus sighed.

The evening has already dawned since I received the letter, and I twist my head that Reus is in trouble.

(You are welcome to come to the church at any time. On top of that... I respect the will of Sarah and Neddy. But I want to apologize for the other day, so come as much as you can, even if you say...)

Originally there was a need for the church in King's Landing, but if you pretend like this, you will hesitate even in the case of Reurus.

Without underestimating other spirituals, the opponent (Sofia) is an aristocrat with the status of Marquis as a spiritual teacher. Natalia is far better than the Vicomte de Velg.

However, I have no choice but not to go here. Thinking of Sarah and Neddy, I thought it was necessary to borrow the power of Spiritualism apart from the presence or absence of incoming calls.

(With the help of Jilba and Esther, it'll work out... it's a convenient story...)

As much information about Sarah and Neddy is spreading, I can't help but come to King's City and go to church.

That's why Reurus decides to go to church. I didn't think things would get any better over time, and I thought it would be better to sort things out sooner.

Although he left his personal clothes unarmed, Reus carried a "Dragon Slash" wrapped in cloth as a precaution. As expected, spirituals would never attack me, but the feeling of Reurus was not different from when I went to fight the "neck hunt".

It's the same with Eliza and her armor, but only her weapon. It is more important to ensure your safety than the possibility of being blamed by soldiers patrolling King's Landing.

Well, shall we go?

Gilba never stopped coming with us. Fewer mouths and more serious expressions than usual, which heightens the alertness of the revus.

Natalia and Collard have been out since this morning to meet acquaintances living in King's Landing. For this reason, Reurus and the others went to the church on foot.

There are five spiritual churches in King's Landing. This is a result of the large population of the King's Capital, where there is one church in the northeast, southwest, and one in the vicinity of the King's Capital.

It is a “prime ground” surrounded by noble mansions, and it is a place where not only soldiers of the country but also private soldiers of nobility patrol.

Those are the Reurus who go through such a place, but the gaze from the surroundings is not so strong. Although it was clearly floating compared to the surroundings, the soldiers never stopped it because Gilba was walking ahead.

(Wow... what the hell...)

Reurus, who had seen the church that had arrived, murmured unintentionally.

There are no walls and the garden is not so wide, but it is no less stylish than the aristocratic mansions surrounding it.

Cut stone is used for building materials, and the front of the building has a heavy, double-opened door. And on the door is a statue that looks like the Great Spirit Comona, overlooking the visitor.

The size of the building itself was smaller than that of the surrounding aristocratic mansions, but there was a difference in cloud mud compared to the church built in the abandoned city of Laval.

It is probably inhabited by spiritual teachers and spirituals, but it is a building nearly 50 meters in size on one side, including the residential part. Also, looking at the wall, there were glass windows, not wooden windows, that seemed to deliver bright light into the church.

Even though it is not a two-story building, the height of the building is slightly more than ten meters, and a slightly dull color of stone creates a style that can be regarded as majestic over the years.

"Magic Character" is engraved around the wall to ensure strength, but it also looks like a kind of spelling.

(Spiritualism... no, I wonder if religion is profitable...)

How much money do you spend to build such a building? Is it dirty or can't be helped? Even with amateur eyes, it seems that each stone cost money.

The building before you is the main mountain of spiritualism in Mataroi. It is also called a cathedral.

Then, the door of the cathedral opens to Reus and the others who were caught in the exterior.

"--I 've been waiting for you."

Before the door opened, Sofia stood with a smiling smile.

"I can't believe you came the day after I wrote to you... on behalf of the Spirits."

That's what I said. I smiled with Nico and bought a guide myself. Sofia came out.

Reurus, who had dived through the door of the cathedral, walked through it in an unbent manner and stepped into its interior.

The interior of the cathedral is as wide as you can see from the exterior, and at the same time it is very bright. Some say that the glass fitted into the wall is passing through the light, but the wall is equipped with magical objects that emit light.

The interior of the cathedral is lined up straight with carpets and wooden benches on the left and right. Hundreds of people would be able to sit at the same time if they wanted to.

Going further, it is stair-shaped and about one meter taller than where the bench is located. Seen from Reurus, it felt like a stage, but there was a stone statue there that resembled the Commona of the Great Spirit, just like the church in the abandoned city of Laval.

And on the left and right of the stone statue of Komona are the spirituals who smiled uniformly. Not as many as right after visiting King's Landing, but nearly a dozen people, young and old alike, were waiting for him.

When they saw Sarah and Neddy, they bent one knee and lowered their head with their right hand against their chest.

Probably praying to the spirits Sarah and Neddy, but Reurus wanted to go home as soon as possible, poking his knees with an undisturbed movement.

(I think it's similar to Jilba... but I don't think it's quite the same as Jilba...)

Reurus thought it would be reassuring to think that Gilba was lined up with ten people, but that was impossible. Being in the Catholic Church is probably a pious spirit, but as for Reurus, it feels like “fur” is different from Gilba.

Although I visited the cathedral, what should I say? Should I speak only to Sofia, or should I speak to all the powerful and the thinkers?

But it is. Sophia and the others are looking at Sarah and Neddy as they try to cut something out.

As for those who believe in spirituality, it is more natural than seeing the spiritual substance. Some of them are tearing at Sarah and Neddy with their heads down.

In an apparently heterogeneous atmosphere, Reurus is also unable to grasp the end of the conversation. There is also a means for Sarah to say something through the "Thought Call", but I don't know what kind of reaction will come back when I hear the word from the Spirit (Sarah).

(Looking at this, Mr. Gilba was a very decent religious man....)

Even if I believe in spiritualism, I am not “hypersensitive” to Sarah or Neddy. I see you praying to Sarah and Neddy on a daily basis, but in the case of Zilba, prayer is sincere.

First things first.

Sofia, who was leading the Reurus, stops and looks back. Even so, Reurus will step up his vigilance.

Looks very similar to Esther - Esther looks very similar to Sofia at her age, but it's not the only situation that makes her feel familiar.

Sofia looked at Sarah and Neddy alternately and lifted the edge of her mouth to deepen her smile.

"I'd like to“ confirm ”that you two are spirits... is that okay?

Reurus was not the only one to question the question. Eliza and Meer frowned strangely.

I have no idea what I intend to do even if I am asked to confirm it.

Sophia says with a smile on her face.

"It was misleading... it was better to describe it as" certified "than" confirmed "."

"Certified? Huh? Why do you have to admit it?

And Sarah cut straight in, like the other day. Ask why and why, as you wonder deeply.

"Once upon a time, there were people who cheated on spirits... and since then, we have been giving them the opportunity to" certify "."

Sofia is going to talk about something that doesn't seem to be the reason. When he heard it, Reurus raised his hand slightly to draw attention and opened his mouth.

"May I ask what you're doing?

"Just look." There's no danger. "

Sophia answers respectfully, even though it's a few steps worse than the one directed at Sarah and Neddy. Reurus looks at Zilba, but Zilba nods silently.

(Does that really mean there's no danger...)

If Sarah and Neddy are in danger, there's no way Zilba can stop them. Instead, Sofia seemed to move quickly to suppress it.

"Hmm... okay."

…………

Sarah nodded as if she was dissatisfied, while Neddy remained silent to show her consent.

And Sofia bowed in thanksgiving, and turned her eyes toward them.

"Eh...."

And the next moment, the magic is released from Sofia. Feeling it, Reus reflexively reached out to the Dragon Slasher, but Sofia never released magic.

Sofia focuses her magic on her eyes - her eyes shine red.

(This feeling...)

A strange feeling of discomfort that I remember one day. It was as if Esther had benefited from the help of the Great Spirit Comona - Reus felt uncomfortable.

(Great Spirit Comona... isn't it? You look alike, but not alike... no, are you weak?

Reurus cannot clearly capture the feeling he learned at that time. Still, I was distracted by Sofia's discomfort, and I didn't realize that Sarah and Neddy's expressions were becoming more and more unpleasant.

"I definitely confirmed... Sarah is the Spirit of Fire and Neddy is... the Spirit of Water."

Sofia said that while spreading the magic.

The red light that had been emitted from his eyes was gone, but his gaze was somehow directed at Neddy.

"In the name of Spirit Teacher Sofia Yale-Maréliy-Farnes, I hereby declare you both spirit-like."

That's how Sofia lowers her head. However, while watching Sofia, Reurus leaned his neck inside out.

(... Neddy is the Spirit of Water?

That seems right, not right. At least as far as Reurus knows, it's wrong.

However, before asking about Sofia's words, the crying cheers of other spirituals disturbed Reurus' thinking.
