Ore no Ongaeshi: High Spec Murazukuri (LN)

Episode 111: To Meet the Virgin

Trials at the Holy Tower close with three consecutive victories for us.

"Ko, this turned out unexpected..."

In the exact result, the Pope had blued his face and lost his words.

Anyway, it was the top four knights among the Romanus Holy Knights who lost. That is what defeated all the exotics.

As for the Romanus kingdom, which prides itself on being the strongest on the continent, the Ments will be in a rounded form.

"" Battle is luck of time, "he says. Besides, the four holy knights were God's mercy and would have helped us, Pope?

"Hands down... yes! That's right! Romanus the heavenly god is a merciful man. Their knights to serve, of course!

In the words of my lifting, the Pope regains his complexion.

Begin to speak openly of the merciful splendour of Romanus the heavenly god. And regain your mood and declare the adjournment of your trial in this arena.

"Is that the result, Yamato?

"Our purpose is to meet the Virgin. It's not a winning or losing arena."

To the unconvincing princess Sildria, I give an explanation.

In every negotiation in this case, he said the wins and losses on the spot were trivial. The most important thing is significance purpose and achieving results.

He said that it was a good idea to dare the Pope to have flowers for it.

"As always, Yamato is a fighter."

"This is where we come from. Come on, let's go next."

Trials in the arena will be successfully completed. It will be moved to the next place with the guidance of the Pope.

"I will now take you to the" Between Prayers ”where the Virgin is…"

The Pope's tone changes.

From the eloquent attitude of earlier, the atmosphere becomes altered.

(Can we finally meet the Virgin...)

Thus we turned to the "Between Prayers” where the Virgin was.

A huge building, the "Sacred Tower", a legacy of the ancient super-empire era.

Climb that endless staircase and we'll reach the top.

"From here on out is" Between Prayers ”. Only qualified people, come inside."

Following the Pope's instructions, we split into two groups.

Four of us won the trial: Ole and Riesha, Sildria and Leanhardt.

Marnen and Rack, the great lords who had been baptized by Romanus in the past. These six are allowed to enter the room during prayer.

"I'll wait for you here."

"Oh. I'll signal you if anything happens"

The Gatons of the Mountain Hole clan will be waiting in the holding room in front of them. I'll tell the whistle signal just in case.

Ahead is a contraindicated place, and I can't imagine what will happen. Just in case.

"Now, six of you, please go between prayers..."

We'll leave all our weapons and protective equipment in the holding room.

And with the divine-faced pope's lead, we move on to the dim indoors.

(Is this the room where the Virgin is...)

The stone interior was quite spacious.

Decorations on walls and ceilings are minimal and have a fairly qualitative atmosphere.

(This is a lot different from the cathedral...)

The cathedral on this property had the luxury of gathering wealth from all over the continent. Compared to this, this "during prayer” is the difference between cloud mud.

A symbol (symbol) of the Romanus Church with numerous followers throughout the continent. There was a feeling of discomfort that I didn't think was where the Virgin was.

"Please wait here. Soon the other side of the sacred cloth will come the Virgin."

On the front between the dim prayers, a large cloth was hung. To the extent that the other side appears spicy for thin fabrics.

"Neither have I, the Pope, seen the face of the Virgin."

According to the Pope's explanation, the Virgin, the proxy of God, should not be looked at directly.

Only a few caregivers' maids can see the Virgin immediately. Of course, we'll be visiting via the sacred cloth.

"Is the protection here so defenseless and okay, Pope?

Ask the Pope, questioning the very defencelessness of "during prayer”.

No matter how many weapons were taken away, we are the ones who defeated the Holy Knights. He has a high combat ability, even if he can't help it if he wants to.

"The Virgin is a proxy for the gods of heaven. Violence by martial arts doesn't make sense... and then I think I know what it means."

But the Pope replies with an invincible grin.

I don't know its sincerity, but I would be absolutely confident of something.

"Well, there you are, even the Virgin...... refrain, gentlemen"

With the Pope's words, there are signs of men on the other side of the sacred cloth.

And I see a shadow where one person takes his seat.

He wasn't that tall and was about the same physique as Liesha next to me.

Perhaps this person is the Virgin.

(Is this the Virgin... but what... is this sign...)

I feel bad air over the sacred cloth.

It cannot be put into words successfully, but it is also the discomfort that I felt when I entered this holy capital.

But five people other than me don't seem to feel anything. Everyone was in the shadow of the Virgin over the cloth.

"Then whoever wants to ask the Virgin, ask her every question."

Under the papal progression, questions are begun.

As explained in advance, there is up to one question per person. As far as the content of one question was concerned, it was also possible to visit it afterwards to some extent.

Romanus, the Almighty God of Heaven, possessed all knowledge of this world.

In other words, there is always an answer to any question.

"But whoever asks the question will give“ precious things ”to God as consideration..."

And the Pope again warns us about the consideration by inquiry.

That's all it takes to hear God's revelation. They say that it varies from person to person, such as property and family according to Revelation.

He himself had devoted to God “all” of his wealth and the life of his family when he was in the Holy See.

"The concubine has nothing to ask."

"I just came and went with an escort, too. No questions."

The two knights, the Empire and Orn, had no particular inquiry into the Virgin. Sildria is interested and Lenhardt says he has come this far following his beliefs.

"We parents and children are considering what to do. You can stay behind."

Marnen and Rack's parents and children answer that they are still troubled whether to ask the Virgin or not.

But from that look on Marnen's face, this response is probably a kind of rush.

How to calculate the hazard (risk) and the return (return) and not show the bills in hand. It is a way of stretching out like him, the great merchant.

"Now visit with each word, both Leisha and Yamato names"

Confirming this will, the Pope proceeds with the conversation. I've got a question for you two at the moment, trying to ask first.

"Yamato... can you come first from me..."

"Oh. It's okay, Liesha"

Give way to the girl of your choice, in the order ahead.

As never before, Riesha had a serious eye.

"My name is Reesha and I am the granddaughter of the village chief of Uld. I ask the Virgin. Why was it ordered three years ago... to take away the adults of our village..."

Risha squeezes her courage and mouths her words carefully one word at a time.

Thus began the questioning of the Virgin, with danger.
