Kuro no Maou

Episode 301: Platinum Moon, 20th - Avalon Street Avenue

Avalon's boulevard, full of crowds no less than Sparda, remains as usual today.

Humans are at the centre, but the waves are more varied than spardas, with a wide variety of races such as elves, dwarves, beasts, and end-under undead.

Most importantly, such a sight is not particularly unusual in the Pandora continent, and it only makes it unbearable for Lily to walk on this wave of cluttered people.

He then turned a slightly grumpy glance at his sister, Fiona, who also walked with his own hand in a young appearance.

"Hmm, what is it? This is your sister's, so I won't give her a bite."

On the right hand opposite to Fiona holding Lily's hand is a grilled chicken skewer of a petrified bird (Cocatrice) bought earlier in the open air.

The blue eyes behind the glasses emitted the same brilliance as the beast full of willingness not to give the captured prey to anyone.

"I don't need it!

Lily, who is an ostensibly young sister and passes through, purposefully tapped Fiona's brain through telepathy with a tight-tongued objection to prevent that character from collapsing.

"You don't have to be so angry, I'm sad for your sister"

Yes, and I am saddened that Fiona of Appeal has a relentless pursuit.

"Whatever it takes, I'm angry. What is it? I'm not just eating and walking."

"I'm here at the corner, Avalon."

I'm familiar with Lily and Fiona's eater. Therefore, it is understandable that the delicious smell invites me to stick around and buy and eat.

"Yeah, well, I know how you feel. But, my lady, how many of those grilled chickens are there?

"Uh, isn't that a ninth item?"

However, I can't help but walk across the restaurant and get devoured by Avalon's B-grade cuisine.

"Come on, I can't talk to you."

"Excuse me, sir."

I mean, I couldn't get any deeper into the important things that would serve the purpose of this journey.

"So, uh, was it White Light Church?

Finished indulging in pale, soft cocatrice meat, Fiona tosses the skewers with her fingers over the passing thin alley back eye hanging.

Skewers that drew beautiful parabolas and flew away burned like natural fires along the way, becoming ashes and extinguishing before falling into dirty cobblestones.

"Yeah, a cult denomination that did too much evil on track, no, maybe a boy gang or something."

Orange thieves, etc. we met earlier, are still cuter.

From what I hear, he's committed several heinous crimes in this Avalon that make robbery murders even arson.

"In particular, it seems that one of the recently attacked Elf merchant couples has become decisive. It must have been a good couple to be admired by everyone, but they're killing requests for hateful ends."

"Yes, the guild is now in possession of that story."

While Lily was meeting with the informant, Fiona was headed to the Adventurer's Guild to gather legitimate information.

Most importantly, it has become clear in this series of buying and eating cases that the main thing she collected was avalon gourmet information.

"This is going to be a formal crusade soon, or the Knights are going to press charges together."

"That was just the right time."

It is inevitable that there will be adventurers who will move at the formal request, or the Knights who will proceed with their investigation and arrest independently, whichever way they engage, a little hassle.

Now that we can move ahead of them, we can call it total luck.

"But from what I hear, do you think there are many followers of children"

"Yeah, the more unusual,"

Another element that makes the White Light Church famous is the age composition of this believer.

Everyone of the faithful is full of minors, mainly children living in orphanages.

The only people who seemed to be adults were witnessed were a few large men with their faces hidden, and a few occasions when they were mingling with their children's followers and walking down the alley.

It is all the children of the ghetto who have the name White Light Church and are dignified and hustled.

Visiting and walking people to solicit donations to orphanages seems to be the main activity at first, but many of the faithful are badly galled boys who, if they were adults, would remain employed in criminal organizations (gangs) (class changes).

They say that they are now pushing full-time adults away in the Glades for some reason.

"Sounds like you were originally run by an old man's priest by himself. After his death, he was on his side."

Before "White Light Church" hit the notoriety, it would be about last year, but until then, it seems to have been an orphanage like anywhere else.

Though in the name of a religious organization, there was not one of the altars, rather than the temple, just the presence of its old priest speaking. Most likely, there was no aggressive missionary activity.

They had connections there made up of human virtues, definitely cutting up the orphanage with a small donation.

After his death from aging, the orphanage at 'White Light Church' was supposed to disappear naturally as it was.

"At least you have enough power for an adult to hesitate to serve."

Back society. Whatever it is. No matter what you say it sounds great, the power is the world of it all. Even if you are a child, you will not be crushed so easily if you are proud of your immense power.

As a matter of fact, the children remain in the orphanage where they were supposed to be disbanded.

"Adventurer, is it?

"The famous high-ranking adventurer is Shilo."

To that extent, the informant had already confirmed it.

White Light Church, it is only natural to explore what strength is attached to its back - and to the result that it is completely unknown.

"Maybe the boy himself, called" The Priest, "is strong."

In all honesty, the line of witnessed 'big man’ is reasonable, but I can't even say it's unlikely.

"I see there's no such thing as a child or a strong person."

Fiona's gaze was directed for a moment at the little lily walking next door, and she was quickly missed again.

"Well, it's the doctrine of this White Light Church that bothers me more than that -"

"Yeah, this is definitely the same line as the Crucifixion."

To Fiona's assertion, Lily shows satisfaction "after all".

Intelligencers can, of course, know a certain extent in the guild, such as the gods, doctrines, origins and principles of action worshipped by the White Light Church.

It was a religion as minor as one elderly priest claims, but now because an ardent preaching activity is being carried out around Slam Street by a juvenile priest.

And I realized that it had very similar characteristics to the Crucifixion.

"What does this mean? The Crusaders are already in the group of urban states?

When it comes to the existence of intelligence agents who are unclear and undoubtedly possess' power ', there is nothing else but the Crusaders.

It is the worst possible, but at the same time, the most muscular prediction.

"No, it's not possible."

But Fiona let him deny it without incident.

"Why?"

"The most important thing in the doctrine of the Cross is to worship the 'White God' as the only absolute God. The White Light Church worships' Aria the Virgin '. Even in the Crucifixion she is spoken of as an important being, but it cannot be that, apart from God,"

If we truly preach the Crucifixion as the first step in the invasion, we should always spread the 'right teachings’ in the Bible and in the set.

In fact, Fiona knows that the Crusaders have made retreats to aggression in such a way many times in the past. It could also be called the usual means of religious warfare.

"I'm glad it's not the worst. So, who's Aria the Virgin?

"I'm a human woman that I gave birth to the Son of God. Legend has it that the child became the First Apostle and preached the Cross widely."

The legend also means that it is impossible to tell if all of it is a historical fact.

Regardless, the Crusaders firmly believe that the story of a miracle spelled out in the Bible is the absolute truth.

"The Virgin Aria is the closest person in history to the Whitest God. Is its existence more than apostolic and less than divine, even in the episodes of the Bible, the White God treats this aria even more specially, and it's the second most important person in the Cross."

Thus, alongside the Cross, the idols of the Virgin Mary Aria are widely established as representative images of the Crucifixion.

Fiona took a single gold coin from her nostalgia, not in circulation in this Pandora continent, the Sinclair Republic gold coin and showed it to Lily.

"This is Aria the Virgin."

One day when we showed each other our assets on the bed of the inn, Lily thought this portrait of a woman was the Queen of Sinclair or something, but expressed an honest interest so much that she knew its correct origin.

"So, how is it that important figures of the Crucifixion are passed on to Avalon?

"We claim that the Crucifixion is the oldest religion to be passed down from antiquity, so in an era when ancient civilization flourished, it was spread to both Pandora and Arc"

The fact that ancient civilisations themselves boast forces spanning both Pandora and Arc is evidenced by the fact that similar sites remain on both continents, and by the use of the same words and letters with each other.

Perhaps by going through the dark ages, Pandora and Ark have been completely isolated as civilizations.

And the ancient Crucifixion reigned as the greatest religion in the Ark continent, and in the Pandora continent it became buried in the darkness of history.

The White Light Church, which is stirring up notoriety in Avalon, is one of those frigid cult religions with no history or tradition that pulls out and lists such forgotten doctrines.

"Even with the same origins, it is natural that a different sect emerges from the historical and interpretative differences we trace, even in Sinclair, where there are as many emerging religions of the crucifix system as there are stars."

And the largest sect of the Cross, with twelve apostles at the apex of the Pope, would have crushed as many other sects as the number of stars.

"Yes, if you don't have a back relationship with the Crusaders, whatever. I've been bothering to lay low about Alsace to reassure Chrono."

The presence of the Crusaders, who don't know when to strike, but don't even put out a table, can be a lot of pressure.

If the fortress is being constructed on the site of the village of Alsace and preparations for the invasion are steadily under way, if you know what the information is, it is unlikely that Chrono will remain alone.

Either way, knowing that there is a war ahead of us will surely create a hurry. I wanted to avoid leaving one Chrono in that state to act differently as Lily.

"So when do you set up with White Light Church? Is it possible that you're going to stay like this?

I've never been home early, especially since Lily and others are likely to get withdrawal symptoms without seeing Chrono.

Even when you start having fun chatting with your brain chrono, it won't be about that distant future.

"No, I'll do it tomorrow"

"Really, I don't mind right now, but for any reason?

Lily finally answered the question with a full childish grin.

"Yeah, 'cause tomorrow, it's a full moon night"
