After that, there were no demonic raids.

While vigilance was now being exercised, the Second Connection had been repaired - on the contrary, it had been greatly strengthened, and the residents who had been evacuated were returning to their neighbourhoods.

The Lyons, by the way, were in one of the churches in their settlement.

We are sleeping here because accommodation in the commercial district is still unavailable.

Several churches dotted in residential areas are usually used as chapels, but in the wake of demonic raids, they were used as shelters for travellers and the homeless.

At a stage when the front had retreated to the second junction, it had taken refuge further inside the third junction, but now it is back here again.

The Lions dressed interlaced with it, but they just wondered if the children who were in another church had come this way, and they weren't so suspicious.

... The truth is that shortly after that battle, the Virgin Marie told me to come with her to the temple in the Temple District - there is only one church in this country that calls her that - but after she told me to "rendezvous with my people" and so on, she left it there.

It's time for a whole day.

"Come on, why don't you go and do it? I would have waited for the scuffles to come."

Mertella says with a smile on her face.

"It's hard... but it's just not good to go..."

"You're the hero who saved this country, aren't you? You deserve a medal or a reward."

"I don't like that. I'm not a brave man anymore. As a very ordinary adventurer, I want to travel freely."

"... I don't think it's possible for the Lord to try to be very normal..."

So Lion just came up with a plan, and he slapped his hand.

"That's right! If that's what you're saying, go alone on behalf of me. Tell me you're the leader of this party. Look, you, you love being complimented, don't you?

"Beh, I don't like anything! Don't call people like children!

"With that said, you've worked very hard this time. Thanks."

"Huh? Oh, yeah?

"Oh. If it weren't for you, it would have been tough"

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no..."

Mertella rocked her hips with a twinkle and joy as she zeroed her disgusting grin.

Surprisingly challenging.

"I did my best, too!

And it's the mysterious Ghost that's been interrupting there.

Now it's daytime, so it just looks like Lion, but the Ghost in church with a flat face is quite a strange sight.

"I mean, how long are you gonna be with me?

Lion asked while he wanted it to be purified and passed away in the afterlife.

"Hey, isn't that nice! Praise me, too!

Is this guy in the system you want to be praised for too...... Lion.

"Are you still here?

"Right there."

"Hino."

Mertella still seems scared of ghosts.

"Somehow, I, I feel like I should be with you guys this way!

"I guess it's just my fault"

"No, you're not!

If you're having such an exchange,

"Were you here? I looked for him."

"Ugh."

"Whoa, what is, whoa,"

It was the Virgin Morna who came there.

Behind us are the figures of the clerics of this church.

I thought they were just kids who had evacuated about the Lions, and they had a puzzling look on their face.

"Didn't Marie tell you to come to the temple?

"Yeah. But we're kind of busy with post-processing right now, aren't we? annoyed."

"Don't worry extra about the hero who saved the city"

Moona looks like a jerk.

... Actually I just didn't want to go, rather than annoying.

"No, didn't you make it look that way and just didn't want to come?

It was completely discerning.

"Uh, but you know I'm here a lot."

"The inn isn't open yet, and I asked the heads of the church to investigate if there were any children like that, perhaps somewhere in the church. I thought you might have to look for it somehow."

"... I see"

I'm still completely discerned.

"I don't really want to stand out. As you can see, it's just kids, so I've had some unpleasant eyes before..."

"I see, is that what you mean? Certainly that much power at that age. Some people will be jealous, others will think about using it"

When Lion leaned over, Moona nodded as she was convinced,

"I was going to do a big ceremony, but let's just say I don't"

Lion exhaled wondering if he was still planning on doing so.

"But I want you to at least just accept the reward. That would be nice, wouldn't it? If we're going to bring back a meritorious man like you, it's going to be our country's ticket."

"Mm-hmm. Okay."

Convinced by her, Lion has no choice but to accept.

"But can I just put one condition on it?

"Conditions?

"Yeah."

"What's that?

To Moona, who frowns at the root, Lion said.

"Can you show me what the devils were after? If you're the Virgin's sister, you know what I mean, right?
