Con, the door is slammed and a voice says, "Excuse me."
I got up from the sofa where Ethel and Iris were sitting. I wrapped a hand-woven scarf around my neck, put the remaining hair balls and tools back in my pocket, and then stood up.
In May, a freak was born wearing a scarf around his neck, but I dare to open my chest and expect him to be accepted as one of his personalities by attitudes such as "wearing it as a matter of course".
It's been a long time, Ethel.
"... it's been a long time."
The person who enters calls out to Ethel through my presence.
But Ethel responded decently to the words spoken.
Just like Ethel, a blonde-eyed elf woman appeared.
His long hair was pulled up behind his head, and the white clothes he wore were very similar to those of "Aozai" in his previous life.
It adheres to the slender figure of the woman, and the color of the garment makes her feel as if she was in front of a historic sculpture.
On his chest he hung a necklace with a sigil indicating that he was a person related to the cathedral and that he was a saint, and in his hand he held a blue cross with a golden decoration that was as long as his height.
"The Saintess" Cordelia Tyner.
Ethel Tainer's mother, the man, came in with an old man, an elf, who was his valet.
About a year and a half since you left here?
That's right, I'd like to get down to business then.
"Ethel-sama, what kind of attitude do you have towards my mother?"No matter where you go to Adventurer's School, if you have received the ceramics of being a Saintess candidate, what should you do without paying the proper courtesy! "
The old man who was next to Cordelia suddenly became angry at Ethel's attitude.
However, Ethel paralyzed it with the face of the wind blowing somewhere, and said silently that she did not intend to open up her story to the world.
I agree with you.Although it is necessary to level up, I want to quickly complete errands that do not gain experience points.
Moreover, I predicted that Ethel would be summoned to the cathedral, but it was very likely that the individual episode of Ethel had begun with the appearance of the current Saintess's mother to the person in charge on the other side.
Just in case, I am thinking of measures to digest the episode and return it to the main body as soon as possible, but if it had really started, what I would be waiting for after this is the request by "former" Saintess Cordelia Tyner to take office as a Saintess in Ethel.
Of course, I don't want that to happen.
If you honestly show me the depths of the Great Library, I wouldn't have gone beyond that.
If the individual episodes hadn't started, the time to negotiate would have been shorter, and if the major libraries had information that would have led to a solution to this problem, I would be able to go back to level-up as soon as possible.
That's why I'm praying that you won't start.
Dear God and Buddha, please send me a convenient future...!
After that, pray that you also give me your Faith Skill experience...!
(Ethel-san, Sakurai-san is starting to stare at the opponent.I feel like I'm going to endure it sooner than expected) "
"(There must be a lot of addiction to training.For now, as I told you in advance, I'll try to finish the story as soon as possible.I mean, Thor said, "I think we're going to have a long talk with the other side," but you didn't hear me... how passionate about crochet) "
Next to something, the women's group is having a spinning conversation.
Can't you see that only that conversation gives rise to a time loss?
If the acquisition experience value is not displayed in the field of view, it will gradually become frustrating, so I want to resolutely protest the delay act of not proceeding with the story, and I will turn my gaze to the oldest person in this room.
Since he was the oldest, he continued to stare at the old man with the sincere desire to encourage him to proceed, and the old man said "mu, mu, mu" in a slightly frightened manner, and when he saw it, Cordelia urged everyone to sit down.
Subtly different from what I expected, but if the conversation continues as a result, that's fine.I'll sit quietly and wait for the rest of the conversation.
After everyone sat down and introduced themselves, it was Cordelia Tyner's valet who cut out the conversation.It was from the elf old man "Terrence Kendall".
"Well, well. We've heard from the principal."It is true that the school dungeon was suddenly sealed off, and he wanted to use the cathedral's library for its solution.The royal family has also asked for permission to visit the deepest part of the Great Library.We have no objection to cooperating with the school's anomalies. "
There is--
But there's one problem!
Terrence puts words into Ethel's response.
There was an unpleasant smile on his face that seemed to be making fun of us. Ethel on the blocked side narrowed her eyes slightly without trying to hide her discomfort.
"A barrier is affixed to the deepest part of the Great Library, and without the approval of the Saintess, it is absolutely impossible to enter.But we can't break the barrier right now. ”
"And if you're a saintly woman, there's a mother there."
"Unfortunately, Cordelia-sama is currently a" former "saintess, and until she takes over the role to the next saint-sama, she is a substitute for her work."You do not have the authority to authorize entry into the barrier. ”
"Former Saintess!? What is that supposed to mean?"
Ethel stood up unexpectedly. After all, it must have been because Cordelia-san had quit the saintly lady.
On the other hand, I said, "After all, the individual episode is starting..." I put my hand on my forehead and looked up to the sky. Iris, who hadn't been able to swallow the situation, tilted her head.
"Um, Sakurai-san. What is a saintly lady in the first place?"
"Oh, I see. Do you know who Iris is?"
Iris approaches my ear and asks in a whisper.
Speaking of which, I remembered that she was a resident of the underworld and neglected the system and role of this world.
It must be hard to keep witnessing where I can't understand the conversation. I decided to teach you about the saintly lady while not interrupting the discussion between Ethel and the others in a state similar to the one I was arguing about.
Now, what is the "Saintess" in the first place?
A saintly lady is a "third party" that does not belong to any sect that is responsible for the cathedral and has the role of mediating and resolving problems that have arisen in each sect, and is therefore considered to be at the top of the de facto list.
The cathedral, where the statues of gods worshipped by various sects are gathered, is where the representatives of the sects run daily to solve the work related to their sects and the troubles that come from various places.
Among them, there are problems with followers belonging to other sects, and problems that may greatly change the power relations between the sects later on.
To put it plainly, is it a question of the interests of the odorous owners who are earning the operating expenses of the organization, or is it a question of the witnesses at the royal wedding?
A saintess is someone who stands between such matters and mediates, and sometimes makes differences in work content to prevent sectarian influence from being biased, or takes over and resolves some work completely.
In addition, there are other organizations such as the Adventurer's School, and they have great authority to manage facilities such as the large library, but it would be easy to understand if you say that you have to draw a poor lottery.
It should be noted that the life of the saint maiden is still covered from the financial resources of the cathedral until her death after retirement. Instead, she is restricted from owning private property, and she is not further paid, and she must corrupt the maintenance of religious organizations in the spirit of private service.
Compared to the importance of work, the absence of remuneration is a good thing for slave labor, wearing old clothes that do not know who was using them, and the life of continuing to eat only for nourishment is rudimentary, which leads to the formation of Ethel's worshipism.
Ethel, the daughter of the former Saintess Cordelia Tyner, is a person who has been educated in the hope of becoming such a Saintess, but she ran away from the cathedral because she saw the actual situation up close and thought, "I don't want to continue to work for the selfish people without pay".
In the first place, a saintly lady is nothing but suffering for a person who does not live the spirit of selfishness and public service.
Ethel's rebellion, which was a girl of her age, could be taken for granted.
Of course, since the escape play did not gain the understanding of the surroundings, there are still not many people who think that Ethel should be brought back and set up as a Saintess, and it is her individual episode that brings out the problems.
"So, what's the situation now?" he said.In order to make Ethel a saint, the two in front of them are deliberately leaving the saintly lady at the same time today, giving up the authority to approve the use of the Great Library, and trying to pull Ethel back to become a saintly lady who ran away from the negotiation card.The subject of this act is not the mother of Ethel, but the "traditionalists" who believe that "the person who takes office as a saintess is preferable to the person who draws the blood of the first saint first".They are immersed in the thoughts of their mother, Cordelia, who thinks, "I don't want an adventurer who could die." If Ethel shows even a little concession and takes office as a saintess, they are thinking about something stupid, full of hopeful observation, that will become the rule. "
Well, Sakurai-san?
"I knew this would happen when Ethel asked me to come, so I thought it would be one way to sell it, but I couldn't take that means because I was asked by the Heavens."Therefore, under the condition that we "do not give Ethel to the cathedral", we must achieve the goal of "browsing the information of the deepest part of the Great Library".Haa, make it tedious. "
I sighed and got up from the sofa, explaining to Iris what the situation was like from her role as a saint.
Originally, Ethel's individual episode said, "For the protagonist who gets hurt in the intensifying fight against the" Obsidian Sword, "Ethel goes to borrow the equipment items that exist in the cathedral, but the permission of the saint is required to bring them out, and Cordelia resigns from the saint, so the traditional people demand that Ethel return to the saint."
This is a great difference from the current situation. Since the conditions for starting the story of "What is needed exists in the cathedral", "The permission of the Saintess is required to obtain it" and "Ethel will be heading to the cathedral" are consistent, it probably occurred in the form of the incorporation of Ethel's individual episode in this case.
"If you write in bullets, A and B are composed of the same elements, so you can judge them as the same thing." Although I have the feeling that I have been shown a rumor, I have experienced the same thing in the underworld.
So I think I have to give up on it and accept it and deal with it, but as a result, the stress is about to reach its limit, so I started gesturing to comfort myself by moving behind the sofa where Ethel and the others sat.
"Basically, as a mother, I understand the feeling that" I don't want my daughter to follow a profession where there is a risk of death ", but don't say that," come back because it's okay "is a bad idea.Actually, when Ethel runs away from the cathedral, she makes it easier for her to escape by thinning out her security... but it's a typical worker's disadvantage to be weirdly clumsy towards her family.It doesn't convey feelings without saying it, so it would be good if you talked about it with your stomach broken.That's why you shouldn't tell anyone that you're part of this bullshit and that you're connected to being hated. "
"Sakurai-san, Sakurai-san! Hey!"
"It's a shallow idea for the traditionalists to think that Ethel won't reject it."I refuse to be a saintess because I don't like to keep cleaning up people who do such things, but how do you imitate yourself in a way that lowers your liking?If you insist that "I want the Saintess to take office as an elf connected to the bloodline of the first Saintess," it would be better to create an environment where you can think "I was glad to be a Saintess" after taking office rather than a means of making you take office.I mean, if you guys get paid well and the saintly lady is unpaid and trying to be good, you can be extra motivated from the side, right? "
By the way, Ethel wanted to be an adventurer because it was high-risk, but it was possible to get a lot of money.
In the future, it is the result of wanting to obtain as much money as possible from the mother who retired the saintly lady, because she has the hidden desire to "live a wealthy life for the amount of time that she has dedicated to private destruction."
My parents think of my daughter, and my daughter thinks of my parents.
However, because they can not be honest with each other and continue to communicate clumsyly, a conflict arises, and people who still have old-fashioned ideas are immersed in it.
It was Ethel's individual episode in the original that somehow solved it.
"I've told you many times, but I think you should talk to each other angrily."There's a lot of slack in it.You're going to take away my precious level-up time.Haa, I don't know if we can finish the conversation soon.Iris thinks so, doesn't she? "
I finished talking about each situation and the thoughts, and if I called Iris to get consent to the foolishness that was overflowing, there was a figure of her holding her head.
When I looked around to see why I was doing that, there was Terrence, who was stunned for some reason, Cordelia, who was completely stiff as a poker face, and Ethel, who, unlike her mother, was staring at me with a bright red dye on her face and a pull.
"... yeah?"
I frowned and tried to grasp the situation, and while continuing to gesture, I drew a conclusion after a slightly long reflection.
"Oh, my God. Did you hear what I just said?"
"Thor, ah, you...! Did you hear me?"'It's not like that...! "
Looking at Ethel, who doesn't know what to say, I'm convinced of the failure to expose the circumstances in front of everyone.
The content I talked about was originally disclosed gradually through individual episodes, and it was not something that could be discovered by such a first contact.
"(Damn complete failure - no, wait?)"
I may have been able to say that my revelations would have eliminated the need to collect information that would otherwise have taken place in individual episodes and to have it conveyed to all parties to refresh their minds.
If so, wouldn't it be fair to say that my actions have succeeded in shortening the time to solve the problem by making each other understand the circumstances gradually?
"After all, Ethel's unequivocal refusal to become a saint in this room will ruin the negotiations. After that, if we break our family's hunger and talk about it, we will solve it."If Mr. Cordelia leaves office without me, we'll be all set! Yoshi!! "
"It's not good! It's not good!"
"What are you suddenly saying!"Regarding Cordelia-sama's resignation, I thought that there might be a physical problem from the situation in recent years, and based on Cordelia-sama's opinions, we decided to consider it again!It was an unfortunate coincidence that we were planning such a thing. "
"Not retirement, but retirement means you can be reappointed... right?"If Ethel fails to take up the post of Saintess, I can see through the idea that we can return Ms. Cordelia to the Saintess. Since we are in a position of categorical rejection, would you please go back to the Saintess and let her use the library? "
After telling Terence what he noticed from his mouthpiece, he made a proposal to round off the scene, and for some reason he was angry and polite, and his face turned bright red.
Instead of stopping, I became angry that I would die of anger, so I finally began to consider whether I should be physically silenced. Suddenly, Iris jumped out of the sofa she was sitting on, grabbed my back with one hand, and slammed my head against the back of the sofa.
“I'm so sorry!”
"What are you doing!?"
There's a crushing sound coming from the back of my head.
The pain is thin, but it is held down by a lot of force, so even if you try to shake it off, you can't escape by being paralyzed by the force of resistance.
"I'm really, really sorry!"Suddenly I made such a rude remark, which made me feel very uncomfortable! "
"B-bu-bu-bu! Babais (Iris), Babais (Stop!)"
"Please apologize to Sakurai-san!"
”I... I'm so psychedelic”
Iris herself bowed her head again and again, and when her face rose irregularly, she was slapped again, and she couldn't even say a word.
I apologize to Iris for having to stop because I can't help but realize the futility while I repeat myself.
It takes 5 minutes for Terrence to complain about it.
The cordelia on the poker face, which had been completely rigid until earlier, rebooted and “that's it,” cut through the anger of Grandpa Elf.
“Apparently, he has seen through our thoughts.If so, it's just a waste of time to play with words.Besides, I was made aware of the shallowness of my thoughts by his honest and untrue words.When I heard that Ethel was going to accompany the Sword Saint's disciple, I thought she was just a bodyguard, but it seems that she also picked up the things inside. "
Cordelia-sama, but!
"Please make a formal apology individually later."Terrence, do you mind? "
"... well, that's fine."
"Thank you. Now, Ethel, let's hear it straight."Could you return to the cathedral and become the next Saintess as my successor? "
"I refuse, Mother." No matter how many times I'm asked, I'm not going to be a saint. ”
When asked by Cordelia, Ethel clearly refused.
After hearing that, Cordelia made a sad look for a moment, and immediately hid it and muttered, “I see, I'm sorry.”
As a result, we were able to confirm each other's ideas, and the meeting on the first day was temporarily disbanded.
Iris and I were able to apologize to Ms. Terrence for her disrespectful work later, and she could accept the apology even though she couldn't say anything at the time.
After that, Ethel's mother invited me to dinner, but Iris refused because she didn't want to leave me.
As a result, we sent one Ethel to a dinner party with her mother, and Ethel decided to eat with her family for the first time in a year and a half after she left the cathedral.
So I was a little nervous about sending you a single ale here, and I said to Ethel, "I've set you up, so break your stomach and talk to me!"When I said with my thumb up, I was stunned, my eyes were turned and I was beaten on the shoulder for some reason.
"In the end, what do you think of Iris's behavior towards the benefactor that inspired her to reconcile with her mother?"
I think it's Sakurai-san's fault.
As I dropped off Ethel's back towards the cathedral near sunset, my theory of outcome was completely out of touch with Iris, and I told her, "Please skip yourself today and reflect!I was told. "
So when I left Iris at the inn and got out, I went to the stable where my love horse Huron stayed to find a place where I could think without being disturbed by anyone for the time being, and lay next to the Huron I had deposited there.
Hyeon
You can put your head on it, so I'll keep your body. Stop it, it's too heavy and it'll crumble.
Leaving my back in the hay, I put Freon's head on my stomach, and while I felt the weight of it was hard to sleep, I reflected on my day and reflected on it.
The first thing that comes to my mind is that I started skimming in the middle of a discussion.
It was only rude of me to think of a second point of reflection, thinking that I had to reflect on it.
However, as I think about it, I gradually feel that my drowsiness is getting stronger, and I realize that my thoughts are starting to slow down.
Isn't it similar to the idea of stupid rest, or paradoxically, the idea of resting?
Thinking so, I decided to give up my recollection and give myself up to the impending drowsiness, and the first day in my Elf Realm would be over.
