Episode 178: Events in Pope Lars, Part 41

"There's a few of them."

Roy is right. Footsteps can be heard more than one person.

The footsteps gradually grew louder and I began to see people.

It still looks like a group and I see multiple figures.

And...

"... it's still him"

Will squeals.

It is that (...) person who is looking ahead of that gaze.

"Bishop Abram......"

It was Bishop Abram walking in the middle of the group, as Shirley put it.

And there are men dressed in white robes to surround Bishop Abram.

After all, if you think it's a face you're unfamiliar with as Lulu's escort, were they the ones with Bishop Abram's breath on them?

What about Mr. Ange? Will Mr. Ange be all right?

I'm curious, but I can't do anything about it right now.

Damn, if this is the case, I should have split it between watch and second-hand.

But there was also the possibility that if Golzola was involved, it could not be dealt with... No, I can't think about it.

Now I just have to wish Mr. Ange well.

"I knew that man was the killer."

"That old man"

Allie and Sonin open their mouths.

Sonin's kind of had a bad mouth lately......

But if you're planning to assassinate Lulu, you don't have to call him Bishop.

"I knew Bishop Abram was the mastermind...... what do we do? You want to leave?"

"No, let's see how it goes a little more. There's a chance I'll get stuck if I leave now."

"... Indeed"

Roy's got a point, so we decided to check on him a little bit more.

But I'm also concerned about Mr. Ange's condition.

"Roy, why don't you and Allie come check on Mr. Ange? I'm concerned about how it's going."

"... sure. All right, Allie, let's go."

"Ugh, yeah."

They split up with us and went down the mountain road.

Probably not that much fighting power over there, and I don't think there's a trap.

But if there were enemies, Will would be melee type, not much magic, and Sonin is just magic.

Roy can handle both, and Allie can handle a lot with a water dragon.

I guess I should go, but there's more to traps and golzolism than this one is meant to be.

Roy seemed to understand everything in my story and it helped.

Well, they read my mind from time to time, and it helps me to guess at times like this.

"Witch."

Bishop Abram spoke to Lulu as he watched.
