Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)

The royal castle in the heart of the Wang capital.

Our purpose was not the royal castle, but the great temple next to it.

"Stop."

An interrogation can stop you as you continue in a carriage through the King's capital toward the Grand Temple.

"Excuse me!

It lets me through if I find out I'm a dignitary in another country, too.

"... is it such an easy thing to get through?

"Apparently, I didn't just let you through."

Sylvia's [detection] had noticed signs of spying on this one from afar.

"What do you want to do?

"You're gonna have to leave me alone."

Except in the event of actual harm from being attacked, etc., but just being watched is weak to set it up from here.

I don't know what position anyone is in just monitoring it.

Better not be poorly hostile.

I descend the carriage when I arrive in front of the Great Temple.

"Long time no see, Virgin."

One man was waiting in front of the Great Temple.

From the man's back, there are bright red wings, to the bird-like beast man, but I don't know the exact type.

"It's just... it's Mr. Simon, right?"

"Yes, I became head of security at this festival"

He had a brief greeting and a colloquial laugh like he knew each other.

"By the way, I know Master Claudia, but this is your first meeting with everyone else, isn't it? Could you introduce me, if you don't mind?

"I'm sorry about this. They're the adventurers I hired to escort."

"Nice to meet you."

As a delegate, I say hello.

I gave him my hand, but Mr. Simon doesn't try to take it with his face covered.

"Virgin."

"Yes."

"I don't mind inviting you, a witch and an old friend, to the Great Temple. But there is no way to admit those who do not even have a clear identity into the sacred Great Temple."

Well, even if we were certain of the identity of the referral, we suddenly showed up. We're nothing but suspicious.

However, this one has merit.

"The current Memphis kingdom is very unstable, isn't it?"

"It's..."

The sea is rough, the fields cannot be planted by lightning strikes, and the Wang capital is also deprived of moisture from the people by the sun.

If we keep going like this, it could break down as a country.

"They protected us on our journey so far"

"What do you mean?

I tell them that I have not encountered sea snakes, but that I have unfortunately been able to escape on my way to fight and crusade against whales and the consequences of fighting thunderbeasts. According to Thunderbeast, there's a summoner somewhere in the king's capital, so you should decide not to know about the summons.

"You seem strong enough. But..."

"If it's a trait, it's for sure. Because he's an A-rank adventurer."

"... ok"

A-Rank Adventurers cannot play Rank Up without approval from Alliance Masters of multiple Adventurer Alliances. Besides, the record at that time is well kept in the guild.

It's easy to find out who we are by contacting the Adventurer Alliance.

"I'm here to see Noel. Is it possible to meet?

"I'm sorry. Dear 'Witch' is currently practicing dancing in preparation for the ritual the day after tomorrow. Are you in a hurry?

"Hopefully -"

If you're by my side as an escort, you'd better hurry.

Answer after worrying for about ten seconds.

"We will grant you special permission"

They pass through the Grand Temple when they know their identity.

A building made of white stone. Every time I walk, I hear cutlets from my feet.

"That's an amazing place."

I was amazed the moment I entered the Grand Temple.

"Yeah, this temple has been in this place for hundreds of years without decay. There is historical value in this temple itself"

"That's not what I meant."

I nod vaguely at Mr. Simon's words.

Of course the interior is great, but more than that, the atmosphere is like a changed world I felt the moment I entered the temple.

This is insane.

I could not feel it from the outside, but I can feel the divine and homogeneous power unleashed by the divine tree that was in the elf, full in the temple.

"What's up?

"No -"

Simon hasn't noticed. Or he doesn't seem suspicious because he thinks this state is natural.

You shouldn't say anything bad.

Proceed inside the Grand Temple.

Shortly after entering, the place was a square where even ordinary people were allowed to enter, with statues of long-haired goddesses praying, supposedly worshipping in the Kingdom of Memphis.

There is no sound at all but our footsteps as if there were no one in the Great Temple, and there is no sign of anyone.

Is there really a 'witch' in a place like this?

"There's a witch here."

It was a room in the back of the temple that was guided.

When Mr. Simon opens it, that's a room with nothing but lighting embedded in the wall just because the whole thing is white. But it was full of sacred air.

The reason for this is also clear.

In the center of the room, a red cuff was dancing on a white small sleeve - one girl in a witch's dress.

Sometimes it moved violently because it was a dance aimed at attracting God, a man of something that was basically a relaxed movement, and sweating like a ball was scattered. It was a breathtaking move as if we were fighting.

The girl doesn't realize we're in here. That would mean I'm concentrating on dancing.

- Light?

The surroundings of the dancing girl were shining.

At first I wondered if the splashy sweat was shining in the light of lighting, but the light seemed to float fluffy beside the girl. A visibly dark divinity exists around the girl.

The sight further reinforced the mystery of the girl's dance.

Eventually, the dance ends by stopping the move so that the girl falls in.

"Noel!"

Mr. Mishrina was rushing over to support the fallen girl.

"... why is Mishrina here?

"Oh no...! If you get a letter like that, it's not like you're not going to see me."

"I sent a letter because I thought it would be rude to break up without saying anything, but I wonder if it was a failure to send out a letter"

Mr. Mishrina tries to use healing magic on a girl who looks tired.

But a girl tells me to stop using restorative magic.

"Don't use magic here"

"Why not?"

"This room is filled with madness because of my dedication to dance. Because it makes it very easy to miscontrol, even recovery magic can erupt."

I can't use healing magic until at least I'm out of the room.

"While the witch was dancing, it should have been decided that no one should be allowed in this room. Why did you let the outsiders in?!?

"I'm sorry. But since they were the 'Virgin'..."

"It doesn't matter who they are! Even though it is a practice, it is a dance to serve God. Make sure you understand what it means to be interrupted."

"Ha!"

Mr. Simon bows his head.

The outsiders were originally given special access bans, but a rule violation is a rule violation. In the worst case scenario, it could have led to a major accident.

"So, really, how did you get here?

"Of course I'm here to protect you!

That's how Mr. Mishrina's gaze is directed at us.

"What about them?

"The people I called to rescue. These people..."

"I know. Instead of saying, the trust has come down now."

Trust - the Word of God.

"You guys are."

The girl offered me her hand, so I shake this one.

"The Virgin asked me to come and protect you, the Witch."

"You don't have to. My destiny will remain the same no matter what means I use beyond the descent of the divine trust. I have already accepted my destiny"

When I said that and let go of my hand, they even strayed me to my face.

But to be honest, I can see that you care about this one.

"Should I point it out?

"You should stop it."

I talked to Sylvia and she told me to stop.

It is a shame to be painted from what I have pointed out.

Her face had been deflected, but the fox ear over her head had moved over and over with pixie and interest here.

Noel the Fox Witch.

That was the 'witch' of the modern era.
