Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

The trouble in teaching the country has been eliminated successfully, and we can finally start our safe journey tomorrow.

Today is the last time I will be in the Holy City.

That's why I decided to take a look around the sacred capital for the last time today... but Ku stopped me.

Apparently, she wants to talk to Lena about what happened ten years ago.

That's why I gave up walking in the sacred capital today and heard Ku's story.

"Originally, the Pope didn't care about other lives for himself.A man like that... when that order was given ten years ago, I doubted my ears about the boulder. "

Ku began to talk like that.

"If I had a Virgin, I would die.Kill the Virgin and one of her family.That's what I said. At first, I thought the Pope had gone mad.The Virgin of this country is like a brave man of the kingdom.In other words, it's a symbol, it's the power itself. "

Certainly. Did the Duplicant manipulate you to give such a futile order, or did the Virgin really give the order out of fear and without thinking...

We'll have to ask the Duplicant.

But I don't think there's much benefit in killing the Virgin until the Duplicant manipulates the Pope...

Simply wanted to show the fear of death to make it easier for the Pope to deal with, or something like that?

"It was a very rude order.But I have no power against the Pope. Shut up and obey. "

I'm really scared of curses.

It's really strange that a saboteur is killing reincarnated people while still suffering from many more damn curses.

"It was Olver, the ex-Prince of the Elves, who got in the way of the operation most.At that time, he was famous in this country as a wizard no less than a magician.It would have been difficult for the Pope to succeed at that time, no matter how hard he tried. "

Ah. Wasn't Lena's grandfather just an elf?

So, Lina is bleeding with royal blood...

"That's why I proposed to the Pope to bring the Fontaine family in.And as the wish was fulfilled, so did the Beast tribe, and I raided the Abelard family. "

Cough thought of a plan to bring the Fontaine family together.

Well, that pope, can't you think of anything like that?

"The assassination of that day was supposed to end soon.But it didn't work.The first unexpected thing... would have been that my son, Brian, was as strong as Olver. "

Well, the Son of the Virgin and Prince Elf can't be weak.

Well, that's not cool.

"Before those two, the Beast tribe gradually took over.However, their magic is not infinite on boulders.The momentum of the two weakened little by little after a few pushes.And Olver and Brian, who realized that they had lost, went on to let the Virgin and her grandson Liana escape. "

"I thought it was convenient.It's easier for us to kill if the Virgin acts alone. "

Well, I guess so. My purpose is to be a saint.

"But it was a trap."

"Was it a trap?"

"Ah. All the assassins who attacked were put to sleep by holy magic.And because I turned the main power to the Virgin, Olvers were beginning to be pushed back. "

I see. Holy magic is the only way to attack.

Sure enough, even the Virgin can protect Lena and escape.

"The second unexpected thing is that the Virgin can fight normally.Ever since I started to assassinate under the Pope... the Virgin was protected.That's why I didn't think I could fight. "

I see. Well, Grandpa and I were on a journey of demon king crusade, and it's not like a regular Virgin.

"I hurried back to Olver and decided to kill the Virgin alone."

Cough, who had a good match with Lou, could have defeated the Virgin.

But they're both alive... Why?

"It went well along the way.Hiding in the darkness, he was shredding the Virgin little by little.Holy magic was my biggest weakness. I stood carefully. "

Listening to that, I don't know why Cough lost.

Have you been exposed to holy magic for a moment?

"But in the words of the Virgin, I can't attack."

"Words?"

"Yes, the word was a simple one: 'Stay away from us'.I didn't use any particularly strange magic.It was a simple order to me. "

Maybe that's where the curse came into play.

"This was the last surprise, and the Virgin's orders took precedence over the Pope.I couldn't defy the Virgin and couldn't get anywhere near her. "

... that's why they were saved.

All I can say is that you're lucky.

"Is that what happened...?So why did you let my mother go?Isn't it the Pope's order that killed the whole family? "

"That's because your father declared that he would expel your mother from the Abelard family."

I see... You punched a hole in the Pope's proper command.

"I was ordered to kill the Virgin and her family.If it's not my family, I'm not obliged to kill it. That's why. "

"Who didn't report it to the Pope?"

"The Pope asked me who survived the assassination.You don't have to talk about people who aren't assassinated. "

"Ha-ha. Sure."

The Pope is stupid, too. If I had given you an order with a little more head, this would not have happened.

We'll leave the next morning.

We were just saying goodbye to Gael and Leria before we left.

"Gu. Ugh... Huh. Thank you all for looking after me for a long time.I'll never forget this! "

Leria, who's dropping her off, is already tearing her face apart.

Well, we spent half a year together.

Leena gently hugged her like that.

"No, Leria made it easy for us too.From now on, as a saint, I think there will be a lot of trouble, but please do your best. "

Lena was about to cry.

You broke up with your beloved disciples.Oh, it's going to make me cry.

"Yes, I... I'll never forget what Lena taught me.I'm sure I'll make a wonderful Virgin who can get my name to you. "

"Yes, I'm here for you."

"Leo... thank you so much for accepting me.I don't think it's Leo's virtue to be passionate about his work... but please be healthy first. "

"Ha-ha. I know. I'll get some rest."

I don't know what I'll do if I don't rest...

When I said that, a voice flew from next door.

"It's okay. We'll take care of it."

"That's right. Tie it up, right?"

Hey, is that your voice, Lou?That was a joke. That calmed you down!

"Fufufu, that's right. I didn't have to worry about Sherry, Lena, Bell, Elsie, and Lou."

Well, of course. I'm worried about something else...

Well then, let's give Gael another chance.

My farewell greetings to Leria were over, and I reached out to Gael.

Gael-san has been staying at home for two months.

Next time, I want to thank you for something.

"Yes, but I'll see you soon at Lord Frank's wedding with Arlene."

That's what Gael said and laughed while holding my hand.

Oh, sure, it was Frank's wedding.

"That's true.Well, shall we say goodbye around here? "

"Yes, please give this to Maret and Monica.If you read this, they will understand the situation. "

When I thought about Monica, Gael gave me a letter.

It was addressed to Maret, Leena's mother.

"Okay, I'll give it to you. I'll see you later."

"Yes"

We waved to Leria and Gael and got into the carriage.

Relia, looking back at her hand, burst into tears, and Lena cried quietly after she got on the carriage.

And when I lost sight of Leia and the others from the carriage, I asked Lena what was bothering me.

"Lena, do you know who Monica is?"

"Isn't that the name of the knight or the maid who protects your mother?I'm sorry, it's been ten years... and I've forgotten a lot of people's names. "

"No, I'm just curious. Don't apologize."

Even if I were told to remember the name of the person I met ten years ago right now, I'd be in trouble.

"But if they say so, I wonder what Monica looks like.That's right... like Leo's Herman, she was a special knight for Leona's mother. "

"It could be."

Maybe it's just a maid looking after Lena's mother.

"Well, isn't it nice to have fun after we've actually met?"

I see.

One more thing, I enjoyed going home to Leena.

"Hey, Leo, you got anything to eat?I couldn't buy anything yesterday because of that vampire ~ "

Is that what you're talking about?Even so, you could put up with it a little bit more...

I smiled unexpectedly at Lou's request to break the bones of the story.

"No, I don't want to be eaten by my emergency food."

This is what we eat when something happens!

I held my bag in a hurry to protect my food from Lou.

"We can replenish it when we get back! That's why, right?"

"No, no, no, no."

"Ah, now, forgive me."

When I refused outright... Lou stopped by and kissed me.

"That's right, I won't give you this precious food!"

I managed to protect the food, shaking my voice a little.

It was dangerous... because of the surprise, my arm lost its strength for a moment.

Really? Well then, I'll do more for you.

When I tried to say no!, Lou's kiss attack started.

And... they took away my precious food.

"Kh... whatever you want"

I can't help it if it's taken away anymore.When I get back, will you replenish it...?

"Thank you! I love Leo!"

"Absolutely...."

I don't hate you because you're cute.

With such thoughts in mind, I put my hand on the mouth that had been kissed scattered.
