"Lord Hart!
I was walking down the Avenue of the Holy Capital, and I was called out.
"Hello. Uh, was it Mr. Singh?
"I will, I'm glad you remember"
It was a holy knight named Singh who was with Seira yesterday who spoke up. They were looking for me.
There were a lot of people walking on the boulevard, so I thought it was something they often found me out of. I was a little concerned, so I looked at Singh with my demonic vision, and there was a concentration of magic near my eyes.
Perhaps he also has the ability to see the devil or its equivalent and relied on his magic to look for me.
"Do you have a minute?
"It's okay."
Ever since I left the cathedral, I've been acting separately from Tina and the others. The negotiations on the management of the dungeon, the aim of which came to the Holy City of Sanctum, were successfully concluded, so everyone went on sightseeing in the Holy City.
When I finished negotiating with the Creator God, I was going to go sightseeing with everyone, but since I came to this Holy Capital, I've had a few concerns, and I've been able to do even more, so I decided to let you act alone today and tomorrow.
Even though I'm the one who invited everyone on the trip, I'm the only one acting different, and I'm so sorry...
We have to make up for something later!
Sin led me to the top of the protective wall of the Holy City. There is no ordinary person here to come, and there is no need to worry about conversations being heard because there is also a distance from the road where people come and go.
Enough to bring you here.
It must be some kind of secret project.
"Are you talking to me?
"Actually, the Virgin is going out of the Holy City this evening, but I'm suspicious of something."
"... you just got back yesterday, didn't you? Is it something you go out so often?
"This outing has been scheduled for a long time, so it's not strange in itself."
What concerns Singh is that Saira, the most important figure in the Holy Capital, is going out, but only one of its escorts can be found.
Most importantly, since the escort is Elmia, the head of the Holy Knights, there is no shortage of power.
Normally, however, a minimum of five saints will be escorted on Seira's outing. Yet this outing was not allowed to be accompanied by the Holy Knight.
It is not the Sairas who issue the command to the Holy Knights, but the priests. It is the Duke of Ifel who governs this Holy City, but five clerics have partitioned it all when it comes to the management of the Grand Temple and matters related to divinity.
The Holy Knight had been placed under the control of the clergy because it was a position to protect the Virgin in the service of God. The priests did not approve of accompanying anyone other than Elmia as an escort to Saira.
"This time the Virgin is going out for the baptism of the Virgin Candidate"
In the mountains, a short distance from the Holy City, there was a fountain inherited that historical candidates for the Virgin had cleansed themselves before becoming the Virgin.
Saira, along with her next-generation candidate for the Virgin and Elmia, said she was headed to the fountain.
"The cleric says it is customary not to be accompanied by a man's holy knight at baptism. But it was two hundred years ago, so I don't know if it's true. Besides, I'm not seeing the Virgin anymore, so I can't even confirm."
Are you saying that Elmia is currently the only female Saint Knight? There are several women in the Holy Knight apprenticeship, but they were not allowed to accompany them.
"The mountain with the fountain of baptism is a sanctuary, and I know we can't get in, but I think we should do as much as escorts on the road. Because the demon attacked you yesterday?
I think Singh is right. Two demons showed up and were after the Virgin. Even if we can't get into the mountains, we should take the Saints as escorts until we're on our way.
If the clerics are serious, they have a low sense of crisis about the demons appearing, how much they believe in the power of Elmia, or...
"Sure...... by the way, was there anything strange about the clergy, seeing with its (...) eyes (...)?
"Yes, from what I saw, there was nothing strange about the magic flow or anything - what!? You know what I mean? I said I have the devil's eye."
Sin seems to have a demon eye. I had read about the Devil's Eye in ancient documents and knew only a little bit about it. It's a pretty rare form of skill.
"I didn't even know you had a demonic eye, but I thought you had some sort of ability regarding the eye. With that power, you were looking for me, weren't you?
"Oh, that's right! I knew I could count on Lord Hart. I need a favor from Lord Hart."
"The Virgin's escort, is it?
"You talk fast. Hopefully, the Virgin will escort us without even finding out. This is my fault... Lord Hart can do it, right?
Saira, the Virgin and good at magic, and Elmia, who seems to have a good sense of combat, can't help but escort her.
It's possible.
In fact, I was thinking about the possibility that Sayla would be attacked by demons again, and I was sneaking a transfer magic formation onto her body.
Normally it reduces magic consumption to the extreme and blends into Seira's magic, so even the pasted person doesn't notice its magic formation.
When Sayla asks for help, the magic team automatically activates to summon (...) me (...).
I mean, it's like I'm right on the side as Saila's escort.
By the way, when I'm in the bathroom or bathroom, I make sure the Flaming Knight is summoned, not me. Otherwise, because they'll summon you right in front of Saila with a round of buttocks.
I also think about it properly.
So there was no problem with the escort.
"Okay. Take on the Virgin's escort. I think we can figure it out without finding out."
I'm not following the Sairas, so there's no way they'll find out.
... Is that it?
Speaking of which, you baptize the Virgin Candidate to be the Virgin, right?
─ ─ This means that if Baptism is successfully completed and the Creator God commissioned it in good time, Saira will be free from the Virgin's position without any problems!
There was a prospect of achieving the conditions put forth by the Creator God.
There's no need to dictate Seira.
All you have to do is escort her and the Virgin candidate all the way to the Fountain of Baptism and back.
Russia, I was motivated to escort the Sairas.
Achieve conditions safely and start working on dungeon management next week.
"By the way, why did you ask me to escort you just yesterday?
"I thought Lord Hart, who would lightly defeat the Devil, would protect me no matter what happened to Lady Seira. Besides, I thought the hero Tina's husband, Lord Hurt, could be trusted."
Heh, Dear SE (...) A (...) La (...) ─ Hey.
Could it be that you like Saira, Mr. Singh?
Is it also intended that you trust me, because I have a wife, and I won't have my hands on Saira?
You know what?
I'm full of wives, aren't I?
If you really like women, protect them yourself.
Don't rely on others as much as your boss stopped you.
If you do that, they'll take it, won't they?
I'm Tina's number one, so I'm not going to go ahead and approach girls.
But I won't refuse anything that comes.
If you're a beautiful woman like Saira, it's even worse.
