Monster no Goshujin-sama

One.

The Great Temple, sitting in the imperial capital, the largest city of the Elex Empire, is the headquarters of the Cathedral Church, which today conveys the feats of the brave men who have continued to save this world, teaching and guiding the weak.

A stone building with beautiful sculptures with transparency shows that this is a sacred place.

Gordon-Caville, captain of the Second Squad of the Cathedral Knights, was walking down the hallway of a blow-out arch, a compartment that even the Great Shrine would allow only church officials to step into.

This hallway faces a courtyard full of flowers and greenery, where you can see beautiful sights that even make you feel sacred if the weather is good.

But Hate, there was a cloudy day here.

That seemed to make him feel heavier again, and Gordon advanced his steps early enough.

Reach the destination door. I knocked and got a voice to respond and walked into the room.

Thick eyebrows faintly stopped.

Because the desk on the front had no intended person.

Gordon, who made the move, heard from the sofa and table for the reception.

This way, Gordon.

It was Harrison-Addington, the Lord of this room and head of the Knights of the Diocese, who called.

Nearly two metres of giant bodies are sinking on the couch.

There was a client in the room.

One was a skinny old man.

He is dressed in cleric clothes and stretches his spine properly.

Grand Cleric Gert-Kügeler.

It was no exaggeration to say that the most prestigious organization in this world was in the highest position in this world, beyond being the Cathedral Church.

And it was two boys sitting face-to-face with them in line.

Gordon realized who they were.

"I'm sorry. Am I interrupting an important conversation with the brave men?"

"No. That's not true. We were just having a little talk. And that was enough time."

Nicely smiled and loving, one of the boys responds.

"Bye, Mr. Kawatsu. Shall we go?"

"... right, Snake Rock"

Another boy nodded and rose from the couch.

He smiles at his mouth and bows his head, even though he looks slightly less energetic.

"Thank you for keeping me company with the story"

"No, more importantly if it helped me to make a mistake."

Gert replied in a quiet tone like a priest.

"Apart from me, there are many priests in this temple who can help. Let them help you to rest in peace."

"Thank you"

Two boys leave the room, led by a caregiver woman who stood at the wall.

After getting up and dropping it off, Gert turned a stern face to Harrison.

"Then let me go, too. It is our duty to comfort you brave men. You will support and help the brave in the battle."

"I understand."

Gordon bowed his head and dropped off Gert as he told Harrison and then left the room.

I was an unexpected client, but somehow I was able to grasp the situation.

Until the other day, Gordon was on a quest for false bravery.

But those who were, in fact, considered false braves were the transferees who made great mistakes.

The Cathedral Church protects and provides spiritual care for some of those transferees.

Earlier would be part of that.

In order not to disturb the public opinion, such information lay low except for very few.

Gordon was also one of us who didn't know.

But now I know.

That was also the issue at hand.

"Well. You kept me waiting, Gordon"

Harrison spoke to Gordon.

"It would be an example report. Let me hear it."

"Yes."

Gordon nodded and began reporting.

"... well. Things aren't so bad."

When Gordon finished his report, Harrison frowned.

The report was a brief summary of the lives of the people of the present empire.

Gordon's men, who crusaded monsters all over the place, were the result of an interview with the local church.

It cannot be said to be sufficient as an amount of information, but it is sufficient to measure the approximate situation.

In the present empire, upset was spreading in the hearts and minds everywhere.

The direct cause was a statement made about a month ago by the Explorer, an organization made up of brave men of unprecedented size in the past.

The content of the statement is a protest against Borderline Uncle, who sent out an army of crusades against Takahiro Mashima, one of the transferees, as a 'pseudo-brave man'.

In itself, it had caused great ripples throughout the empire.

In the meantime, when they argued that Takahiro Mashima was not a 'pseudo-brave man', they also explained what a 'pseudo-brave man' was, and the scandals committed by transferees everywhere.

Though his real name was the one who lay low, this was why Gordon was able to detect the circumstances of the boy earlier.

Also, where this statement spread throughout the empire, Akel, one of the five northern regions, echoed.

He declared to the world that his country was in a cooperative relationship with Takahiro Mashima.

In that statement, Royal Akel reported that Takahiro Mashima had suffered an intransigent attack by the Borderline Bo army, indicating how he had led to cooperative relations with him, who had protected the people from raids by the Borderline Bo army and the Cathedral Knights IV unit.

Usually, Akel, an imperial country, doesn't have that much influence.

But this was in response to the Expedition's statement, which had the power to just rock the world.

At present, the Macrolin Border Uncle has accusations gathered from lords across the empire.

You will see the magnitude of the impact when it comes to raising the voices of southern nobility to blame for the Macrolin Border Uncle, a male in the southern part of the empire.

Meanwhile, he is also raising his voice to side with Uncle Borderline.

It is only natural for a nobleman close to ideas and positions to support the borderline uncle, but that is also a story if it is normal.

It can be said that it is unusual for a voice to be raised to disprove the statement of a brave man who is supposed to be absolute justice.

Speaking of how that happened, the cause was, for one thing, the presence of the Cathedral Knights Unit IV.

During Takahiro Mashima's crusade, Travis-Mortimer, Unit IV of the Diocese Knights, was in a cooperative relationship.

If the brave are symbols of justice, so are the Knights of the Diocese.

The aristocracy's response had to be confusing, beyond the fact that the claims of both were miseaten.

More importantly, the bewilderment of those who continued their simple lives and purely believed in the valiant and the diocesan Church was great.

At least as far as the record shows, there has never been a situation in which the claims of both the brave and the diocesan Church are eaten differently.

Justice was absolute.

But not now.

What the hell should I believe?

I had to think about that for the first time in my life for the inhabitants of this world.

"Are you also concerned about the damage caused by monsters"

Harrison put the paperwork in his hand on his desk.

At the top is part of a report on the damage done to monsters everywhere.

As a report by a knight who went to the local area, "The activation of monster activity has been confirmed with bad discharge, and I am concerned that public anxiety today has a negative impact on the response".

"The world is shaking."

Harrison's crush had a mindless color.

Gordon clenched his fist.

"... without one case of Travis, there would be no such thing"

The immediate causes of the current situation include the presence of Takahiro Mashima and the statement of the expedition defending him, as well as the testimony of Akel, who took a system of cooperation.

But they are not an intrinsic cause.

They merely fought to live, reached out to their compatriots and demanded their rightful rights.

The main cause is found in the Macroline Border Uncle.

And it was Travis who made the situation easier.

In particular, unlike the former, which moved with a sense of justice and good will, the latter sin, which only moves with a sense of merit, is heavy.

"If this is going to happen, use this hand..."

The presence of the Cathedral Knights Unit IV captain Travis-Mortimer was, for the minded knights, a thing that could not rest on their bellies.

But there was not enough evidence to rebel.

Fairness would have prevented Travis from delivering enough.

The only way to put it together was to kill it.

Whatever you do, you're doomed.

The honor and life of the knight would have been lost, and it would have been a death sentence.

But Gordon regretted that he should have acted even if he knew he was.

At least, then there wouldn't have been anything like the innocent elves getting killed.

Harrison spoke to Gordon, who shook his fist.

"No. I couldn't lose you for that. It is my responsibility to forgive Travis for taking the liberty of himself. I should have killed him."

"Captain!"

Gordon raised his voice that was outrageous.

"That's not true! Because you are a must for the Knights of the Diocese!

A great knight who gave everything he had to keep the world alive.

Without the presence of Harrison-Addington, the current Knights of the Diocese will not stand.

In fact, Travis, who had no choice of means, was still the captain of the Fourth Unit because, just as well, it was impossible for him to pull Harrison down.

"Gordon. I'm glad you said that. As head of the regiment, I will take responsibility for breaking the status quo."

Harrison laughed as much as he liked and tightened his expression.

"As much as you regret it that way, I want you to do everything in your power to do your duty. Remember, we, descendants of the transferees, are not inherently part of this world. For us, it is our duty to ensure the stability of the world."

"Whatever."

"Okay, quick, but it's an order."

From the desk drawer, Harrison took out the paperwork.

Gordon, who sees the content, gives a voice of surprise.

"… is this Takahiro Mashima's escort mission to invite you to Teito?"

"Oh. If this happens, things will no longer subside unless we intervene"

Harrison tells in a harsh tone.

"A strong borderline ambassador can also refuse talks if he is a joint name of an expedition and a diocesan church. This is something I also decided to discuss with Master Gert. And then, whether or not Takahiro can come out to the talks, as far as Akel's claims are concerned, he is an honest man. If you show your sincerity, you will come. To persuade, it's already working. So I want you to pick him up."

A strong eye glanced at Gordon.

"I can take care of it if it's you. Would you ask me to do that?

"Whatever! Even in lieu of this life, do your duty safely!

More and more Gordon slapped himself in the chest and undertook.

This is an important task to protect the peace of the world.

Make sure you do it.

Gordon went to his men to fulfill his responsibilities.
