“Then... shall we go back today? ”

“ ……. ”

‘You still have a face. ’

Even after a few more days, his expression remains unchanged. Like the first day of a little deviation, the eyes of compassion still shine upon me.

It seemed like he was trying to hide it in his own way, but he couldn't stop feeling sorry for the life of the Cardinal of Honor.

I had no choice but to show my effort because I was showing the situation of clenching my fists without knowing it or reducing the number of words.

It is more effective to show a bright face than to grieve vaguely in nature. How heartbreaking it must be to see a saint born of a cruel destiny pretending to be bright every time.

I am moved by my smile as if this is nothing special, bright and shiny.

‘I feel like I'm going to cry after being immersed. ’

Don't cry. It's a brighter look. You're strong.

‘Let's not cry. ’

It's a problem for Templar Jen. Laugh. Laugh. You're happy now.

“Thank you all the time. Jen.”

“Yes?”

“To bring me out like this. ”

“That's …. ”

“The continent is vast. ”

“Yes?”

“No, I knew it was wide, but I didn't know there were so many places I didn't see. Vibrant voices buzzing in the night markets, small theater theaters, this place. Who knew there'd be buildings like this hidden by the river that no one would find? ”

“ ……. ”

“Even used as a shelter for adventurers... something romantic. You know, singing by bard, throwing parties on the spot, sharing camps. Something's... boring. ”

It's definitely unusual. I looked around and noticed that there are adventurers gathered here.

Abandoned buildings that feel like they're ancient styles somewhere.Unimaginable buildings are now a camp for adventurers.

Lesser adventurers gather here and there to share stories about hunting or to lightly pour rum.

Of course, it's always seen as romantic, and the reality is that homeless people who are beggars are drunk.

The Abandoned Building is a mess, as well as garbage everywhere, and the things that someone left behind are just lying there.

Don't spit on these bastards. Shiva. Don't throw away the beginning of the year.

“I used to be an adventurer, so I know that. Once you get out of the city, it's not easy to work with other parties. Everyone thinks of everyone as an enemy. Of course I did. ”

In fact, he knows that the time he spent as an adventurer is short, so he seems to be smiling quietly, whether pretending to know him or not.

“Haha…. ”

“It's true, Jen. I was also a thick adventurer... ”

“Yes, I'm sure. ”

“ ……. ”

“Haha…. ”

It was then that I heard a voice from a distance.

“Hey, aren't you going to have a drink there? ”

“Ah…. ”

“Nothing prepared, but please join us. It must have been hard hunting each other... Sharing information together. ”

“Well, we... ”

Of course, I had to see Templar Jen's notice.I wanted to hang out with them, but it was not the time to go home.

Of course, Lee Hyeong, who has taken off the sacred hood of light, wants to breathe and mingle with them more.

Seeing him, I heard a quiet voice.

“I'll just be a minute. ”

“Can I do that? ”

“Yes.”

Get up and join the adventurers in shyness.

Someone gives you a glass that looks like it was just used, and a tasty rum pours in.

Hygiene seems like dog overload, but you can't frown, and Jen is no different. I am quietly handing the cup to you to prevent the fire from happening. There's no poison in there.

“Where did you two come from? ”

“I'm from Castle Rock. ”

“Well, you've come a long way... Well, it doesn't matter to people like us. What you're doing is important. From the looks of the equipment, you must have been kicked out. ”

One other adventurer opened his mouth.

“Is this your first time here? ”

“Yes. I've come a long way to find a safe hunting ground. ”

The answer is also reserve offender. I didn't get it right, so I have to listen to him talk.

“You look quite familiar... It must have been a while since you had a party..." ”

Of course I have to answer these questions.

“Yes, I'm a trustworthy person. ”

“ ……. ”

“It's good to have a reliable party member. ”

“Well, he's not just a party member, he's my friend. ”

Of course I blew this line once.

Are you impressed? He's our friend. You're my friend.

Even if we meet for a short time, it doesn't represent our friendship. It was very short, but that's why it's more meaningful.

Did I sound rude to you? However, after I saw him with my eyes, smiling and nodding, I had to lift my mouth small.

“ ……. ”

“One teamwork would be nice. It's not a big question. If you don't mind hunting tomorrow... ”

“I'm sorry. I have to go back before morning. ”

“You're leaving early. You don't have to... Well, I'm afraid I can't help it. Let's have another rum. Hambeers are perfect for this rum! ”

Oh, Shiva, don't give me that.

It's not good.

I assure you, it was the worst rum ever.

“Well, thank you very much again today. Jen.”

“It's nothing. ”

“I'll see you tomorrow then. ”

“Yes.”

Not a bad event. It wasn't a decisive one, but it was a satisfactory event.

We're friends in particular. We're trustworthy. I think it was the best I could do.

But….

‘Time is too short. ’

Time is too limited to create friendships without it. This moment felt very brief, as it was typical to work over several months.

“Your Eminence, it's me. ”

“Hello?”

That's why we need to spend more time.

“Where are you going today? ”

“I'm trying to get out of the church. ”

“Jing, are you sure? ”

Or out of the church.

“Jen! I'll do it now! Oh! Dangerous! ”

“No problem, Your Eminence. I can handle this on my own. ”

“Jen! To the left!”

“Hot!”

Taking down monsters you come across by chance.

“Huff... huff... ”

“Your Eminence... ”

“Sorry, sorry. ”

“I think he's already dead. It's not your fault, Your Eminence. ”

“But... if we had gotten there a little sooner... if we had... none of these people would have happened." ”

“ ……. ”

I meet people who have been sacrificed by the evils of the world.

Of course, as the epics pile up, the friendship between the two grows. I had to focus on each event for a short amount of time.

“Jen! ”

“Your Eminence.”

There are no ordinary events. This is not the life of the protagonist. There are episodes big and small where Honorary Cardinal Jen and Jenn visit as if there were murders where famous detectives were visiting.

“These are the followers of the other churches. ”

“Oh, how! ”

“It's okay. You probably won't recognize it. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to have to work on my disguise a little bit more. ”

I encountered other priests from other churches...

“Jen, are you still going today? ”

“Yes.”

“Where to today…. ”

“I've prepared a ship. ”

“Yes?”

They also go out to sea.

“Pirates! Pirates! Jen!”

“I am the Pirate King Goal P Roger! Hahahahaha!”

“Grrrgh!"

“Be careful, Jen! ”

Sometimes you have to meet threats.

It is natural that friendships that were only blurry are increasingly shaped and fake bonds are formed.

It became a natural day to meet and go out after work.

Sometimes I talk about my next adventure overnight and sometimes I meet them during the day and not at night.

Of course, the Pope's atmosphere was still upsetting, but I had no choice but to spend some time with him looking at Pope Basel.

Jen and the Saint of Light have special memories. Looking up at the sky together.

“What a beautiful view. ”

This landscape doesn't work.

“You look stunning. This is a gift from Benigore. Prayer of gratitude.... ”

“Yes... Benigore will be pleased. Your Eminence.”

It reminds me of him. I haven't looked inside his head, but I'm sure he's thinking about it.

I want to show you more of the landscape, not the Holy See, but the stubborn, trapped place.

I want to let you walk through all the skies of the brightly shining continent, not the dark darkness where nothing is seen.

There may not be the courage to act. But if he's right and he's right about me, there's enough room to reach out.

Of course there has to be a way.

The point where the story originally shifted was when conflict arose. The timing is right that there is a conflict now.

Two people who seemed happy, but that's not the point. Shiva, the world is trying to tear us apart.

He actually wants something. Don't you think you used your pure heart to buy the pleasure of the Honorable Cardinal?

He knows that, too.

That's why you can't talk to me about the Pope's faction.

If he doesn't talk.

I'll go first.

Preliminary criminals who entered the room cautiously after knocking on the window at the same time.

I had no choice but to open my mouth and stare at him with empty eyes. Quietly hand over the batch of documents.

I had to remind the villain using the heart of the saint of pure light of the truth about this false relationship.

“Is... is this what this is about? ”

An hour and 25 minutes before he became a criminal.

“Because of this... because of this! You were trying to please me! Everything you've done for me so far... was it because of this? ”

An hour and 24 minutes before he became a criminal.

“Go ahead! Go ahead! Templar Zen!”

Tears pour down in despair betrayed by my brother.
