This is the work of the── [White Snake].

I twist my neck at words I'm not used to hearing.

“What is that?”

Like me, I am the one who took on the role of protecting the world as a god. However, [The White Snake] is a little different in nature from me. Even though God is God, the── [White Snake] is called an evil god. "

──Evil God

I've read about it in a book.

In the first place, God is not necessarily a good being for man.

For example, many people would be happy if the pests disappeared. But once it is gone, the birds and fish that were eating the pests are troubled.

That's why goddesses do not manifest themselves in this world and do not exert their power directly. This could seriously upset the balance of power in the world.

──That's why I empowered a substitute like the Saintess and entrusted everything to her.

Among them, evil gods... "

"For people, harmful beings are── called evil gods. I'm sure you did, didn't you?"

That's right.

So what power does the evil god possess?

Asked, the goddess spoke in a slightly troubled tone.

[...... [White Snake] is said to be one of the most mysterious of the gods. But── what we know is that we are good at destroying objects.

And... I was convinced when I saw the magic power that was left here. This sacred flavor has a unique magic power. I've seen the same thing for thousands of years. White Snake .

Not only the clock tower here, but the [White Snake] was also heavily involved in this series of incidents. ”

"That's right..."

Pretty credible information.

I can't believe I'm even involved in an evil god──.

When I heard that the Demon King was sealed in the capital of Berkaim, I said── no. I had a more unpleasant feeling.

Um, goddess, how do we solve this case?──

And ──it happened suddenly when I tried to repeat the question.

"Hey! The shop sign is gone!" It's a precious sign inherited from the ancestors! I can't believe it's gone... "

"Oh, I don't have my wallet!?" Hey, you took it, didn't you? Hurry up and get the fuck out! "

"I don't know anything about that!... oh! You don't even have my wallet!? You have to give it back!"

The people in the square make more noise.

Looks like everyone here is missing something as important as the clock tower.

Some of them have become suspicious and are suspicious of others.

──Woah.

Your whole body is freezing cold.

Cécile!

When I rushed to call Cecily-chan.....

What's the matter, sister?

and she looked up at me with a sudden look on her face.

"I'm glad..."

I don't know why, but I felt like Cecily had disappeared for a moment.

But that seems to have ended in anguish,── and I want to feel at ease, but I can't afford to do that right now.

The [White Snake] is rampaging.──

The goddess continued in pain.

Eliane,── this is no longer too big a problem for you to hold on to alone. Ask Nigel for help too. Please hurry to him. Let's talk about it first. ”

Got it!

But before that...!

I appeal out loud to the people in the square.

"Everyone, don't worry! Nigel and I will make sure this case is resolved! So don't be suspicious of others right now. Please... trust me!"

Then, the surroundings quickly began to calm down.

"Hey, that's..."

"Oh, it's the Holy Maiden." Ruthless and beautiful..... "

You know what? She's led us all the way to Lynchgham's problems.

"Then you can leave it to the Saintess." However, we were suspicious of others. Let's learn from her and settle down a little bit more. "

I heard that voice too.

"Great...."

I stroked my chest down, and then Cecilie properly clasped her hands.

"Cecilie! Let's get back to the castle!" Tell this to Nigel! ”

I have to tell you about the snake!

Yes!

Having said that, we quickly rushed to Ralph's place.

... is that it?

"I think I just felt something wrong..."

Onee-chan?

“No, nothing.”

No, you can't.

Don't think too much now.
