In the middle of the church entrance floor, the owner of the dust-painted inn rolls. What the hell was the use behind the church ceiling?

To listen to the story, I hung the healing magic on the shopkeeper. Then the shopkeeper slowly opened his eyes and whined.

"Damn... what happened..."

The shopkeeper looked around in confusion. You don't seem to realize you've been shot by lightning. Speak up without worrying.

"Hey, what were you doing in there?

"You're the one who did what in a place like this? Were you a church person?

I thought I was exactly listening behind the ceiling, but apparently I wasn't hearing you.

"I was being interrogated. I didn't blame you for the interrogation, but they attacked me unconvinced."

"Was I...

By the way, why are you all right? Tell me what happened. "

I made a range attack with the magic of a lightning strike, but when I find out about this, it's awkward. The cost of repairing the statue of God with a broken neck will be charged. Let's cloud the tea properly and change the story sassy.

"The heavenly punishment has fallen. I'm fine because I do good things everyday.

That's right, the inn is under attack. Can I stay here?

"What...? What do you mean!

The shopkeeper peels off his eyes and is surprised.

Are the raiders after us or the shopkeepers? Don't have a little trouble judging me. I'm doing some weird research. It's not strange that the store owner is targeted.

"My people contacted me. They said Myra was caught. Now my people are on the loose."

"We have to go home soon..."

The shopkeeper got up with a munch on his fluttering body.

"Right. Before we do, let's find out where Myra is."

Remove the smartphone and check the position of the leads.

"Is that a transmitter? Where now..."

If you know where Leeds is, you know where Myra is. About 4 km southeast of here... 3.8 km... 3.6 km... Oh, you're getting close.

"It's coming this way. You'd better ambush me somewhere."

"Right...... Then he's on his way here. Let's hide somewhere and wait."

"What do you mean?

"Explain while you wait"

But it's important where you wait. Let's contact Leeds first. It's awkward when you're not where you're going.

"Leeds, can you hear me?

"Yes."

"Maybe those guys are on their way to church"

'Really?

"If not, let me know. I'll ambush you at the church."

"Okay -"

"Hey, what's that..."

The shopkeeper looked at me with a strange look. Smartphones are hands-free, so they look like they're talking to themselves from the side.

"Never mind. It's a little magic trick."

I don't really want to show the smartphone and the map to others, but it's an emergency. It's fine because I'm not a church official or a soldier.

It's about time you got into the valid range of the map. Myra's info is on the map, so let's find out more about her current location. Retrieve the map from the magic back.

"What's that board?

The shopkeeper peered into the map wondering.

"Sorry, but it's a trade secret"

"Kigi? Well, if it's a secret, I can't help it."

The shopkeeper, with a frivolous look on his face, seemed convinced of his disapproval.

Based on the information on the map, I anticipated a place where it might appear. There are three enemies. Looks like they're running on the roof and heading straight this way. On that straight line, you can wait where you enter the church grounds.

It moved over the roof of a building, southeast of the site, like a small digging shed.

"So, are you sure you're coming here?

"Right. You would have the guts to use Myra to intimidate me and my old friends."

Wasn't that a raid targeting us?

"Are you doing something that you're threatened with?

"I guess. Part of the church turns out to be involved in a case. All we have to do is get the evidence and the mastermind."

I see. Looks like he's doing something pretty dangerous.

"Can I ask you more?

"I don't mind, are you okay? They're after you, too."

The inquisitor who's after me is an official church believer. It's like declaring hostility as a church. Camron will have it under control now, but one of these days he may be raided again.

"They're already after me. Just more reason to be targeted, more chance to fight back."

I feel like I'm looking for a reason to crush the church these days. I want to give it a good reason and just crush it. Mostly, for my mental stability.

I just... I've also learned that he's not all crazy. I don't want to do anything that burns me out indiscriminately. I guess we should look for a means to dismantle it legally.

"You did......

We were chasing the culprits of the recent frequent Beastman abductions in Wangdu. My old buddy's daughter was targeted, so I took it seriously. "

That's a case the mercenaries were actively involved in. It's a case of a dining room daughter being targeted. Several other Beastman children were apparently already caught.

But that's not what Mr. Bonanza said. At that time, he said the church was irrelevant.

"No, I heard about that from someone I know, too, but I think he said the church had nothing to do with it."

"Where do you know that? The information seems to be out of date. The Church is now on the verge of division. There are all kinds of factions born in that ski."

"Oh, we'll find out somehow"

It's not just the South. There also seemed to be a conflict between the Pope today and the former Pope Camron. It is no surprise that there are other factions.

"It turns out that a small group of them are working with some officials to execute the abduction"

I see. Mr. Bonanza said the Church South had nothing to do with it. There is no mention of any other faction or of the Church itself.

They were hiding in the shadows of a Southern coup and doing bad things with Kosokoso.

"For what?

"It's an empire. In the Empire, beasts are treated as objects. Probably was selling it off and turning it into gold."

It's not a slave, it's a thing. I don't know if you're a slave, but it's worse.

The Holy Yuga Empire lies further south than Mirzia and the United Kingdom of Gaza. He is also the successor to the Han Empire, which destroyed the elves.

When I showed him what I thought, the shopkeeper connected the words even more.

"But. It was apparently Heinz Church that bought the Beast Man."

"Hmm? Is there a problem?

"It's a church in another country that's supposed to be in conflict. There is no interaction. Not to mention, I can't think of buying or selling people."

In short, there's a spy from Heinz Church. Oh, my God, I had such a problem.

In the middle of the conversation, a correspondence from Mr. Lilly wore.

"Koh, they loosened their legs. I think we're almost there, but what do we do?

Upon checking the map, it was close to a position with dozens of meters remaining.

"I'm ambushing you. Be vigilant on the spot."

Copy that.

"We'll talk more later. Just rescue Myra."

Lily and the store owner were called out at the same time.

They don't think there's an ambush here. Let's sneak up and get rid of it.

The opponent was not dressed in suspicious black or clerical clothing, but rather like a common adventurer. He wears lightweight leather armor and carries a short sword on his side. If there were witnesses, they would illuminate the killer as an adventurer.

They're stopping in front of the entrance to the building we're in, guarding the perimeter.

No matter how vigilant you are, if you don't notice, you're no different than a stick.

Gently approach and strike the magic of intimidation.

The effective range of this magic is about 5m. Once it works, it will continue to work even if you leave the spot. Apparently the duration depends on the other person's mental strength. That's magic.

They don't see you, they don't hear you, they stun you in an instant. It can hit multiple people at the same time. Instead, I can't use it against someone who moves irregularly, and I have to focus on magic.

The kidnappers fell flat on the spot. Myra, left on the spot, is Kyoton.

"Hey... what's that?

"Come on? Weren't you sleepy?

Let's get Myra out of here. "

The shopkeeper raised a bewildered voice. But it's a hassle to explain, so I answer appropriately and run over to Myra.

"Are you all right?

"... what the hell... oh, thank you..."

Myra thanked me bewildered and stuck to my left arm as it was. You're done for. Let's keep holding Myra and go home.

"It's over. I'll take care of it later. You two go home first."

"Yes."

"Ah. Excuse me first."

When the two replied, the signs rapidly left. You will arrive at the inn soon.

"Now, stick it out to the soldier"

"Wait. Sorry, but I can't do that. That explains why I was here."

Oh, that was trespassing. Finally, I can't explain it either. How to capture them, how to contact them, location information? There's a lot of trouble if you ask me. All right, let's go home.

"Can we keep this up?"

"No, I'm taking you to my people. Maybe I can ask you something. Thanks for keeping me alive."

I don't know who my old buddy is, but that's better than leaving him alone. I'll take care of it.

When the shopkeeper tried to leave with the kidnapper in his arms so that he could take charge of the hemp bag, he was suddenly struck by a chill that was uninterrupted. I haven't felt anything lately, the intimidation of the strong. This is awkward.

The shopkeeper felt it, too, letting go of the kidnapper and jumping back.

I didn't set up a weapon because I was aiming at it by accident. I'm not even ready for magic. The target is instructor Glad, or more. Besides, Myra won't move while she sticks to me. That's why I can't move poorly either.

It's hard to win with your bare hands while you can't move properly......

"Who!

Maybe not if you're putting out words. I want to leave immediately, but the tension that occupies the spot did not allow it.

Suddenly from the shadows, an inquisitor appeared in a scratchy mask. The Inquisitor is my enemy. I was caught off guard thinking I cleaned up the whole way. Keep an eye on the store owner and encourage him to leave. The shopkeeper perceived it and began to lag behind.

But just if you don't miss it, the mysterious inquisitor throws a knife silently. The knife went straight to me and the store owner. Avoid right? No, there's another knife in the shadow of a knife. If you avoid it to the right, it's a direct hit. You're right to hold Myra in and fly left.

Fly left and roll. By the time I got in shape and shifted my gaze to the Inquisitor, he was already gone. At the same time, the kidnappers are disappearing. Did I miss it......

The crisis has left. But now you can't get the information out.

"What was that..."

There's no response from the owner to my whining. When I looked at the shopkeeper, he squatted (groaning) with a knife stabbed in his left arm and right thigh. No, at least avoid one.

Apply healing magic and wake up with the shopkeeper's arm pulled.

"Sorry...... I was going to be wearing armor."

Apparently it was a habit. If you wear iron armor, you don't deserve to avoid throwing knives.

Not that the scratchy Inquisitor will come back again. I regained my mind and left the church.

As far as hostility with the Church is concerned, I guess I'll be seeing that inquisitor again. I want to welcome you in full condition next time.
