On top of the red hair down to the neck and the blue nun uniform, the serpent was the identity of Elise.
The nun's unique hat on her head also adds to her personality, and the murderous machetes and thick scriptures surrounding her waist-filled belt proved her to be a battle nun of the Light Fame Cross.
- Elise.
"El!!!!"
Am I about to enter the Elise Islands Adventurer Guild? I met Elise in front of the Guild Building.
"Lee!!!!"
As soon as I recognized it, I burst into joy from the deepest part of my heart. How long have you been looking at this..!
"My!!!!"
The impetus that cannot be dried up, the sense of soaring inside, captures my mind. I tried to shout the slogan of promise, thinking it would be right to burst my heart even now.
"Di-i-i-i-i-i-i-i!!!"
"Saint."
- What?
But something was wrong.
Elise did not show the same reaction as usual. Joyful and embarrassed. That was a reasonable response that Elise had to show.
"... uh, eh? Elise?"
But she was extremely expressionless.
No, I'm not.
Beyond the expressionless
"That armor."
- Elise, who was completely frowned upon, stared into my eyes and said coldly.
"What the hell?"
I panicked for a moment.
"..."
A pupil that is smaller compared to the eyes that have left. There was no light in the pupil, and there seemed to be a condensation of suddenness and fierceness.
"An armor bearing the emblem of the Bronze Society."
Elise looked me in the eye with such a ferocious gaze and spoke in such a low tone.
"The Grib is the same as the old Salvation Congregation, but all the other equipment has been transformed into the ceremonial equipment of the Bronze Society."
"Ah."
I've never seen this look of Elise before.
"Saint. Are you converting to a bronze society? When I was a pagan, you said you couldn't abandon ethnic faith..."
I stopped being frightened by the cold look and tone.
"The Saint is free to convert, but this is Divine Friendship... I am heartbroken."
Was it because of that..!
The moment I fell into a state of confusion, I returned to my mind. This was a misunderstanding. Elise is having a fatal misunderstanding.
"No, no! Elise! You have to misunderstand! Misunderstanding!"
I immediately excused myself by grabbing my head.
"That's not what you think! I didn't convert!"
"...?"
As he cried out, the light slowly began to return to Elise's pupil. It is clear that I now think that I betrayed myself as a Divine Friend and launched into another religion.
I did not convert.
The only religion I believe in is Fusion, and worship is only my own strength and steadfast spirit.
"If you haven't converted... then what the hell is that armor? In any religion, the ritual equipment of the church is not something that can be brought out to the outside. Saint, what's going on?"
"That's what I'm saying, Elise. Let's start with this."
I immediately took my quasi-religious certificate out of my arms and held it in Elise's hand. I feel tense and I feel like my hands are all wet.
Elise was frightened.
It was my first time seeing Elise's eyes like that. Even when you kill pagans and demons, you get combat excitement, and you don't stare at them with your dead eyes and constricted pupils like you just did.
"This is... a quasi-judicial certificate?"
After a slow look at the credentials, Elise looks up at me. Fortunately, he returned to his usual face.
"Yes, Elise. After working in the city like this, I gave down my quasi-prisoner position because I wanted to reward the Bronze Astronomical Society. This armor is the merchandise. It's an honorary job, so I don't need to convert."
"..."
When I tell you the truth, Elise's face begins to run slowly.
"Well, well..."
What is it?
"... I misunderstood."
Elise lowered her head. Fortunately, the misunderstanding seems to have been resolved. His face was blushed because he was ashamed of his mistakes.
"Uh-huh, yeah, I got it wrong. Oh, Elise. Did you think I'd abandon you, Divine Friend, and go to the Bronze Society?"
"Ugh..."
Of course, Elise can't send me such a fierce glance.
It's clear what I saw wrong.
"I shamelessly thought about it for a moment. Sorry, Saint. I was most aware that the saint was not the one to do it, and I misunderstood him."
Elise returned to her usual expressionless face and apologized to me. But the face was already quite swollen.
This is unforgivable...!
"Elise. You know this is unforgivable, right?"
"What, like that?! Forgive me, Saint!"
With a real laugh, Elise screams as if she's having a seizure.
"No, this has to be paid for...! Go!!!!! How dare you doubt Divine Friend!!!"
"A price! What a price!"
Elise turned her eyes wide open and pleaded. Of course I'm joking. I don't want such a price. But there's only one thing I want.
"Shout aloud."
After the leg is shoulder-width apart, he points to Elise and declares:
"Yes?"
"Divine," he said. "
This is the price for doubting Divine Friend.
"Shout out loud enough to break the whole world."
"Well, that's...! Saint, it's too harsh! You can't do this to me!"
When he demanded a loud shout of Divine, Elise protested, holding both fists tight, like a sinner who had been punished for not being able to.
"Then."
"...!"
"I'm here."
I spoke aloud while maintaining solemnity.
"I have to squeeze."
"W-what!"
"On your knees. Screaming."
Of course I'm a man who can make that happen.
"I'm going to cry that Elise misunderstood me."
By that means, Elise was appalled as she became completely confused.
"Saint...! Don't be ridiculous! You can't do that!"
"So do as I say."
"Oh, my God...! Then at least let me go somewhere quiet!"
"No."
That way it won't cost you anything.
"This is it."
I pointed decisively at the floor.
"Here, do it here."
"What the hell is going on...! Saint! Didn't I tell you I'm sorry! I was wrong! Please forgive me! Or at least I beg you to lower your grades!"
- Kuung.
Elise pleaded, and I immediately knelt on my knees in the sense of warning.
"Elise."
"Hey, Sugaah...! Saint, please! Please stop! I'll do as you say!"
To make a real scream, Elise grabs her head. I stood up with a smile.
Elise looked around with a red face and coughed.
"Hmm, hmm... Dee, Divine...!"
Your voice is small!
"Elise! Our friendship was just that much!"
"That's not it... Divine!!!"
"No, not enough!"
"Di, Divihin...!!!!"
"Khhhhhh!!!"
I shouted endlessly in front of Elise, who was ashamed to go mad.
Elise's voice finally reached the threshold.
-Divine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then the pimples and snowflakes fell from the shrine. Indeed, it was a tremendous voice, but I realized that it was only then that I had a reunion with Elise.
- Friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also burst into joy. The cross is thus completed. He trembled, and Elise's face was as red as his hair.
"Haa... Haa... Stand, Saint... at least let me leave this place right now."
"Absolutely."
I immediately grabbed Elise's wrist.
"Let's go eat."
Anyway, I didn't even eat breakfast, and it was clear that Elise would have done the same. Immediately, he grabbed Elise's wrist and headed to the restaurant.
Well, after ordering this as usual, a full-fledged myopia story began.
"A quasi-religious... amazing story. But at the same time, of course. If it were the character and power of the saints, we would certainly not have been able to let it stand still in the Church. Congratulations."
Once I refined my heart, Elise greeted me with an honest congratulation.
"Uh-huh, isn't that too much to compliment? Thank you."
"It's only natural."
"Oh, but Elise."
"What do you mean?"
"I am a quasi-judicial officer, but I think I will soon be a paladin too."
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Elise, surprised by the second, was completely excited and asked me to explain. I preached the truth as it is, referring to what I said about the Saint Cadia.
I became a scout as a paladin in the eyes of the Saint when I received the position of quasi-religious priest and carried out the quest for demons and pagans. Of course I didn't convert.
"Phew... I can't believe that happened... but I'm relieved to hear it all. The saints have not changed."
Elise listens to my story while continually sinking her excitement.
"It's a shame, though. If you are a saint, you must also be a member of our illustrious cross..."
Is that unfortunate?
"Hehe, Arthur. Your life seems like a lot of trouble."
- Cruel paladin.
The warriors of the Light Fame Cross worship God and even their individual suffering. It is very hard and harsh to achieve paradise with the power of man. So they suffer strangely.
To the extent that such an idea lay at the foundation, the Light Fame Cross was truly a formidable place. They were the front-line protectors who were truly committed to this world.
They are literally extreme runners.
I can't stand such a life.
If the army is just coffee, that crazy place is called a tower. I woke up and I couldn't join the Light Fame Cross.
"I accepted the paladin proposal because it did not all require conversion. I wouldn't have told you to convert, honestly."
The moment I convert, the Church will be able to control all my actions. You only have to live according to the real doctrine.
That is what it means to worship the god Verde and work in the Church. This should never be a compromise.
That's why Saint Cadia also used half the tricks to scout me.
"Huhu, you're a reasonable choice. There's no such system in the Bronze Cross. You must have had to convert."
Then Elise smiled.
"Don't you think it's impossible to convert for religious reasons? And even if I could, the Light Fame Cross would be a lot harder. I can't live hard."
"Such modesty... you are a saint."
It's not modesty...!
"Uh-huh, by the way, I was so fucking scared. I thought I was gonna die."
"Well, forget that. It seemed to be whitening in my head for a moment. And didn't the saint tell me to do that? Now that topic is prohibited."
"That was a joke. But, Elise."
Slowly.
"What brings you here this time?"
The fact that Elise is here means something has happened.
"No, before that, what about demons? This place was pretty fascinating with demons and pagans, too. So I was thinking maybe you wouldn't come once, and you'd be too busy with the devil spreading all over the area anyway. Is that all over?"
The entire area was damaged by a daemon gate. I don't know, but the Krashheim religions would have moved day and night.
"That's right. In the meantime, I've had a lot of fun, not knowing how long it takes to have an ongoing demon subjugation operation. It was a dream day."
"Ah."
Did you have fun?
"It was a delightful gesture, but I had no choice but to close the operation."
"Oh, so you kept hunting until it snowed?"
"Yes."
When it snows, it's this way and that way and it's all hard to move.
"So after a moment of downpouring, spring came back and asked the Church to come back with something that the evil creatures might have to solve before the uproar."
"What is it?"
"Didn't the saint give you evidence of the pagans in the fog plains last time?"
Uh, no way?
"You did, didn't you?"
"In the meantime, we were unable to withdraw our troops because of the operation. So now that I can afford it, I'm going to do some research on it."
