Egret

Judas, who was still staring at the sky, listened to him and looked at Edan with his sword.

‘Light from the sword...? ’

One of the two swords was glowing blue.

As Judas looks carefully at the sword, Edan notices it and raises his hand to his sword.

It was the Command Sword, ‘Raya’, made of transparent ice. As I pulled it out of the bayonet, with the bayonet, a bright light burst out so bright that the snow froze, and it watered blue all the way around.

“Shiny sword! Swing will give you a blinding magic effect. ”

“Snowflake?”

“Why, the effect of instantaneous loss of vision due to intense light. Is that what you're after? ”

“No.”

Baikal throws a prank, but Edan remains as determined as a knife in the meantime.

“Then what is that black mulberry eye? ”

“ ……. ”

It was a while ago that the Command Sword suddenly began to emit light.

Usually it was just as cold and transparent as an ice rink, but it didn't shine like this. So there was no way to know why it was Edan.

“Looks like the power of the Command is fading nearby. ”

It was Judas who handed over the command sword to Edan.

He grasps the blue-flashing Command Sword with his fingers.

Whoops.

I trembled as if the sword were crying.

“This kid was originally in command. Maybe you want to let me know that there's a comrade nearby. ”

“...... Are you alive? ”

“I don't know."

It was a little vague to describe him as alive.

The soul of the girl who took the form of a Black Sword held by Edan.

Rather than moving with will, the bee was only responding to the spirit's energy as attracted by the sweet scent of flowers.

Judas, however, spared no explanation for it.

Noticing the color of avoiding deliberately referring to Raya, Baikal coughed over her head, pretending to clean her hair.

“Hmm, if you're friends, the commander is nearby now, isn't he? No wonder there's another General-grade commander. ”

“I don't think so. Now that the power to support this place is weakened, it will be easy for anyone to break in. ”

Only after hearing that did Baikal realize that much of what had been preserved by the great power of the Pope had fallen. Therefore, if you are aiming for a raid, now was the time.

Ethan, who thought the same, stared carefully at the Command Sword.

‘Last time I confronted the commanders, I didn't react like this. ’

In his memory, when he fought against the gods encroached on by the Command in the Thaw, it did not shine like this.

There is a possibility that there may have been something triggered or specifically intended to react, but I did not know the details. But the important thing was separately.

For what purpose? ’

The immediate problem is that both the target and the reason for the attack are unclear. Even if the Pope disappeared and the shield weakened, there was still a Saint in the Temple Elixir. Moreover, now that the emperor and nobles visited for the Pope's funeral, security was much more thorough than usual.

It's like a moth jumping into a blazing bonfire when you hit it with a frontal battle at this time.

He examined whether there was a purpose left in this diocese that was important enough for him to commit such a foolish act.

‘...... Are you after the remaining Saints? ’

If the objective was to kill the Pope and put him in chaos, and then destroy his authority, it was likely that their next target would be Saints.

“Your Majesty, you may be in danger, so you should return to the palace. ”

“That's a great opportunity. ”

“ ……? ”

Edan, who paused for a moment, realized what his master was trying to do and narrowed his glabella.

“Your Majesty......! ”

“I crawled out of there first without going into the viper's den to catch the viper. ”

Edan, who used the analogy of Count Blair J. Rude as it was, began to weep and dry out Judas, who spoke unorthodox.

“I suggest you inform the Temple of the situation and step back. ”

“If Wigdrasil didn't have to tell you, you would have already noticed the power of the Command. ”

“If you do, I suggest you avoid it in a hurry. ”

“No, I'm starting now. ”

Judas gently breaks Suu Kyi's efforts to turn his feet somehow.

“I intend to visit the commander who broke into this sanctuary. ”

I was ambitious to go to my feet, but no one was surprised to hear it.

As he was already accustomed to Judas' sudden behavior, there was only insolence rather than surprise on the faces of the two subordinates.

“You know, this isn't just about the Pope. You don't have to turn your back and run anymore. ”

“…… I knew you would say that. ”

The abandonment was swift. As a knight, Edan, who had been around since he was a student, knew that Judas would not easily break his stubbornness.

Edan respected his will but ended up adding a word.

“But do not forget that you must be free to reap the worries of the kingdom. ”

“One too. At a young age, you're already as worried as an old man in a multicultural world. ”

“Your Majesty.”

“Got it, got it. ”

Suddenly, Edan, who had been treated as a worrying elder, swallowed up a sigh that he couldn't breathe.

They do not take any more time and immediately move in the direction where the Command Sword emits light. That way, the destination arrived was an old chapel. There were many large and small chapels in Elisium, including the Cathedral, but not all buildings were used.

The only buildings that were mainly lit were those used, and the rest of the old and small chapels were lit up because there was no one to find them.

Sometime the apprentices don't find anyone until they come to clean up.

Judas noticed that the building he came to is unfortunately the same chapel he met five years ago.

“…… this place. ”

Edan and Baikal, who met Fried at the time, also noticed that.

Even though it was a long time ago, it was a big event, and it remained vivid in my memory.

“I don't think there's anyone there. Commander, are you sure this is the right place? ”

Baikal grumbles as he snorts through the window with the lights out. Edan, who followed the light led by the Command Sword, searched the window without saying a word.

Judas, on the other hand, stared at the old building in front of his eyes with deep sunken eyes.

‘You came to the right place. ’

Even though I was locked in the darkness, I could see it with the feeling that I didn't have to look inside.

Inside, it's like a swarm of bats clinging to the walls of a cave.

“The door is locked. ”

Baikal, who stepped out without fear and pulled the doorknob, looks back at Judas and reports.

The door was locked tightly, however hard it was pushed and pulled, and it didn't budge.

“Do you want to break and enter? ”

Edan lifts his sword in a position to crush the door immediately if the order falls.

It wasn't the Shiny Command Sword he was holding, it was the Age Sword he was handling. As soon as he was close to the commander, Raya, who had already been brightened, flashed like a magic magic ball, even though she had put it in the sword.

“Hmm.”

Judas gazes at the chapel with his chin up.

‘It's not just locked, it's sealed with the power of the command. ’

It was clear that something bad would happen if I tried to open it by force.

He slowly reached out. As the palm touched the door, it melted with a metallic cool touch and felt the stickiness together.

Chul-chung!

At that time, I didn't give him much strength, but the door opened with a thud.

Baikal's expression, which had grabbed the doorknob earlier, changed like a frozen man.

“Ugh! Why is it so easy to open like butter with a knife? Wh-what is the status of the inquiry...? ”

“ ……. ”

Edan's prickly black pupil, and Baikal, who looked alternately at the door of the chapel, pushed lightly by Judas' palm, shouted with trembling.

“It must have been locked. Seriously!”

Judas laughed loudly at him, staring at the cracks of the door that had been opened for about a minute with his eyes mixed with injustice and embarrassment.

“It looks like the commander inside has put on a spell. ”

“The spell?”

“Yes, so that only authorized persons can enter. ”

Upon hearing that, the panic doubled.

“Then the commander hiding here..... Do you mean you have permission to enter, and I refused to enter? ”

“That's right. You got it. ”

He received warm praise from the main army, but Baikal remained calm.

When he kept his mouth shut, Judas was troubled by the half-open door in front of him.

Inside the chapel, where the darkness was dark, I was reluctant to even take one foot.

‘The purpose was to meet me from the beginning. ’

Knowing the purpose, it is possible to guess the identity of the opponent.

Then Judas opened the door completely by pushing the door that stood still, because there was no more reason to think. The doors of the chapel were wide open with a heavy metal-specific reverberation.

There was little sunlight in cloudy skies, so the interior of the chapel with the doors open was still dark. What I saw outside was a long chair or a shadow of a candlestick out of the fire.

Krrrrrrrrrr.

Just as Judas was about to step into it, Rooney opened his sharp teeth and stopped the contractor.

“…… You are a good friend too. ”

The voice of the Athenian boy echoed inside the old chapel.

It was a sweet voice, as the boys' choir sings, but the response of those who heard it was not very favorable.

Edan and Baikal took their weapons and pointed them at each other, and Judas merely placed the threshold between them, stiffening like a plaster statue.

“Oh, but I'm scared to look at you like that. They may be friends to you, but they're scarier than ghosts in horror novels. ”

Somewhere, Judas' four spirits surrounded him, revealing themselves.

"Oh my God? You sound like you forgot about ghosts.

Carney shrugs her cheeks with a smile like spring flowers.

On the subject of the commander who sticks a straw into the human soul and sucks the side.

…… It's the right thing to say, but can you match your expression with your behavior?

Uni murmured, rubbing his creepy forearms, but the Fire Spirit King still did not erase his grin.

Oh, it's consistent enough. I'm laughing because it's so funny.

Really?

"Of course. What could be angrier than burning garbage?"

Ugh, huh? But it seems like your mouth is getting harder....

Once you've cleared it, just forget it and reappear. If you wipe it off again, it will appear again. It's like winter snow. Ho-ho-ho, the more annoying I think about it.

You're angry too ―!?

Usually Carney is mild, but once she gets angry, her mouth becomes rougher and her expression becomes worrying.

Uni began to dry her in a stuffy tone with her arms crossed.

"Relax. It's annoying to see the Command, but it's not intolerable. Right, Rooney?

[That's right. Carney's overreacting this time.

Normally Neutral Rooney nodded his head and sympathized with Uni's opinion.

Soon, a transparent pupil, like a blue wolf's egg, turned to the Fire Spirit King complacently.

"What about snowflakes? I can't agree more. Winter snow is the most beautiful natural phenomenon. Cancel it now."

"Okay. Let's fix it with autumn piling leaves.

What's wrong with leaves? Don't you know that Greg was delighted in the autumn when he made a bookmark out of leaves?

Oh, yeah.

Hey, guys? That's not it. That's not the problem!

Uni, who was watching, shrugged his arms, but no one listened.
