I, the Knight Remule, was very confused.
The gray-haired undead helped you escape the burning mansion?
And that reminds me of the report.
--In addition, the undead left without entering the city or harming anyone.
The gray-haired undead witnessed in Costal was attacked by adventurers, but he didn't fight back at all.
On the contrary, he defeated the catastrophic monster Taras Road that was approaching the city and ended up saving the city.
You mean it's not a dangerous undead?
"No, even so, undead is undead. As a holy knight who serves God, you can't abandon your unclean existence."
An existence that defies God's order, that's the undead.
We must destroy them.
It could be a threat to humanity at any moment.
"It is highly likely that he is still lurking somewhere in this city. We were supposed to leave for Costal tomorrow, but let's stop and explore the city."
I made that decision and went back to the inn.
◇ ◇ ◇
"I knew I couldn't use fire magic in the Mansion..."
I look at the trail of the burnt mansion and reflect on last night's failure.
I wish I had defeated that giant Undead, but the people in the Mansion were in danger of getting caught in a fire.
To secure their escape route, they forced holes into the walls of the Mansion or jumped off the second floor in their arms, struggling to get everyone safely evacuated.
Luckily they didn't scare me so much, so I saved them.
Well, I think he was caught by someone more horrible than me, and it was an emergency.
It's already dawn.
The entrance to the Mansion is closed, and it is likely that an investigation will be conducted to determine the cause.
After a while on the wild horse, I turned my heel and walked out.
I just came to look at it somehow, and I didn't have anything in particular to do.
"... you there, don't move."
I was surprised to get such a word thrown behind my back.
I keep it low, but it's a high voice that is unique to women.
"Turn around slowly. And take off your hat."
I turn my heel back as I was told.
And there was a girl in beautiful armor.
Seventeen, eight, maybe.
He holds a stunning decorative spear while subduing his long maroon hair.
I took off my hat with great care.
And the girl breathes.
"Eh...."
Shortly afterwards, I thought there were several signs of movement, and they surrounded me.
Everyone is armed just like the girl, probably one of her own.
"My name is Remul. The Knights of the Knights of Albert, the proud Knights of St. Melt. You're undead, aren't you?
……
I nodded slowly.
With so many people watching, you can't speak properly.
"As holy knights who serve our gods, we cannot pass on the existence of the unclean undead. I will purify you now!
Oh, my God!
I've never heard of St. Melt, but it's probably some kind of religion.
And religion basically hates the existence of undead, and often has advanced purification techniques.
I'm sure they'll give me eternal peace.
I widened my arms to show that I had no intention of resisting.
But the knight girl named Rimul somehow looks angry and distorts her face.
"Nh... don't lick it...!
Did I do something to piss you off?
Inside, when confused, the Holy Knight Girl orders her allies.
"Everybody, hold the spear!
"" "Ha!
The spear they all had was pointing at me.
And the tip of the spear shines brightly.
"Simultaneous purification begins!
The next moment, a spear called the spear emitted intense light, and my vision dyed white in an instant.
It's an incredible purifying light.
With this, I'm sure I'll be able to die safely.
"... that?
The light slowly fades.
When I realized it, my vision returned, and I stood flat.
There is nothing unusual about my body.
It was pinching.
No, it feels a little disgusting...
It may have worked a little, but it completely fell short of expectations.
"Is that so... it's not working at all...?
The Holy Knight Girl looks at her in dismay.
The others were obviously scared too.
I suppose that's how confident I was about that spear and its power.
"* giggle *... I can't stand it anymore! I still have my hands! Believe in the power of this Holy Spear, developed by our Order!
Apparently it's not over now.
But I can't expect anything from you, because I didn't have anything to do with hate.
Behind these cold hearts, they have an atmosphere that deserves the word "decisive death."
"Are we all ready to give our lives for God!?
"" "Ha!
"That was a good answer! Luckily, he won't move without underestimating our power! Show him our faith!
"" "Whoa, whoa!
But I'm in a really bad mood...
Could this possibly be expected more than we thought?
I was a little excited and waited for them to attack while unexpectedly loosening my cheeks.
"Ah! Alright, this time I'll wipe you out with all my leeway...! --Assault at once!
So she screamed, and she herself stepped in at the forefront.
A shining spear comes out from all directions, pointing one after the other at my body.
This is...
What a mess...!?
It felt unexpected.
It was as if my body was being smiled at, and I laughed out of my mind.
"Hahaha, hahahaha...! Hahahahaha!
Eventually, when the light subsides, I see the dazed faces of the Holy Knights who are completely surrounding me.
"It's not working...."
"On the contrary, you're laughing...?
"Ba, monster....."
Karan, Karan and the spear they were holding rolled over the ground.
The Holy Knight Girl also has a pathetically pale face and is completely disfigured.
Ah, well... I'm sorry...
Even though you guys were so desperate, I laughed... I didn't mean it... yeah.
I'm kind of sorry, and I'm depressed.
No, it's not.
Not when you're depressed.
You should tell them what I think.
But it's too difficult to speak out suddenly among these people...
That's right!
That's where I got my scripture.
I try to talk to everyone, so I can't.
You can pick one of them and talk to him in his ear.
That way, you can have a virtually one-on-one conversation.
That's what I thought. I looked at the middle-aged man on the right diagonally.
Somehow it seemed easiest to talk to.
Yeah, it's important to talk to someone who seems easy to talk to.
"... um..."
Hih
But when I got one step closer, he staggered back.
Hey, why are you distancing yourself?
Well then, you can't talk well!
Suddenly, the knight girl raised her voice.
"Come on, retreat! Retreat! Get us out of here now!
"" "Ha, ha!
Did he return to me with that voice? He turned his heels together and fled.
"Where's the captain!?
"Wow, I'll stop him! No objections!
Some people stop at the holy knight girl's scream, but they shake their heads and run away with hesitation.
Only me and the Holy Knight girl are left.
... I'm glad you ran away with me.
It turned out to be one-on-one, but this makes no sense.
'Cause...
Even if I'm not good at talking to people, I can't possibly talk to a young woman...!
