Episode 18
Monza hit the door of my office three days later.
"Captain, are you okay?"
"Oh, please."
Monza with a quiet face slips into the room without making a single footstep. She looks like this and is a hunter.
She put the documents she had on my desk.
"This is a record of the six people following. In short, they were all followers of the Territory. They worship at the same temple at the same time and have no other contacts."
"got it"
Is religion a point of contact?
If you are involved in that, you can understand the strange attack the other day.
If you can't get through the castle gate, the bow cavalry has no choice but to go left and right. A rough squad, but probably also an irrational reason.
Monza asks me with a smile.
"I'll do it?"
Her question is, in short, "Do you want to annihilate the Filipinos?"
It's a lot of noise, but it's common sense for demons. You have to be prepared for death as long as you are against the strong.
However, I don't want to do that much to humans.
I'm going to grudge right away.
I shook my head.
"If you eat chicken, lay eggs.
"Well"
Monza with a dissatisfied face. I'm pretty irreverent when you're a boss.
But I knew her attitude was poor, so I responded with a smile.
"She was the priest of the Huyo ... Watch as he was a priest of Juhit. If there was anything, report it immediately.
"Yes, ok"
Monza salutes me.
During that day, I turned my suspicions to Priest Juhit into conviction.
Yucht, the priest of the Luyenite Temple, was born in the neighboring industrial city of Tuban. He was promoted from the Tuban Deacon and became the head of the nearby Lünheite temple.
Of course, the Tuyans have a face to face.
And, as in any city, most Guards are Huiyang who value discipline and coordination.
And this is the decisive hit.
"They all seemed to have praised Yucht all the time. He also seemed to be particularly enthusiastic about Mission. He was disturbed by the pagans in his neighborhood."
Monza said that while sniffing the tea leaves in my room.
"Hey, that tea is my favorite. Don't open that much, the scent flies."
It is a tea leaf similar to Japanese tea that I finally found in this world. I take it out of Monza's hand and then lock it in the drawer of the office desk.
Monza asked me, looking frustrated.
"Captain's sting. So what do you do? This time ..."
"I don't do it"
I laughed at the dissatisfied Monza.
"It's my job from here. You're back to monitoring the six caught. I'll take Jerik's squad and meet Yucht."
"What are you going to do? Oh, the captain will do the work for himself."
"No ... so why do you want to kill?"
This is natural because of the demons, but I can't keep up with me.
I open another drawer and take out the prepared letter.
"I'll do the human work in the human way. Leave it to me."
"The captain is also a werewolf, right?"
"Well, that's right."
Lünheit has several places of worship, but there is only one temple where rituals can be held. It is a magnificent stone building.
Time is night. Lamps are lit here and there, and the temple is illuminated with fantastic light. The sculpture of the sun floating in the dark is quite mysterious.
As I climbed the stone steps, I asked the guard in front of the door to see the priest.
"We are the Deputy Lieutenant of the Third Division of the Demon Army. I want to see Priest Jucht."
I was passed by a well-decorated guest, waiting for Yucht while sitting on a chair.
After a while, an elder priest appeared.
"Prayer has been delayed, sorry."
"No, I apologize for the sudden visit."
Well, let's start the fight.
First, I apologized for capturing the six Teruyos. It's a light jab.
"I was in an emergency, so I detained six people and investigated them. This is also my duty, so please forgive me."
"No, not at all"
Well, it doesn't seem upset. Does not smell.
As expected, there is no more than a thousand congregation.
"By the way, I hear that you are from Tuban."
I did not miss the priest's eyebrows moving for a moment.
He looks at me very calmly.
"Yes, yes. What is it?"
It seems to be thorough.
This is the ruler. If your opponent is going to take care of you, you don't need to be sick.
"Dr. Yucht instigated the Tuyans of Tuban?"
He is silent. I do not deny.
When I deny, I can't believe it. It seemed to understand.
The priest sighs long.
Then I muttered:
"When I was in Tubaan, I kept pigeons in the temple."
I listened to him uninterrupted.
Priest Yucht continues.
"When I was transferred to Lünheit, I brought some birds because I remember the Tuban pigeon."
Indeed, did you substitute a pigeon pigeon?
Now Yuch asks me.
"Is it going to kill me?"
I don't answer it and say:
"You have killed as many as four hundred people in Tubarn without any remorse.
Yucht's complexion changed quickly.
It was a field battle, and no one would have thought that all four hundred people had died. In fact, they would normally retreat once hundred or so casualties had occurred.
"Zee, everyone ...?"
The priest's voice is shaking.
I dare grin for intimidation.
"You have despised us. The Demon King's army will not forgive those who take the edge."
After giving plenty of despair, I approached Priest Jucht.
"You stupidly imitated, the priest. But why do you stand against us? Are you not satisfied with freedom of religion alone?"
Then Yucht sighed and stroked his cheek.
"People are……"
He says so and shuts down for a while, then says at once.
"Human cannot be ruled by anyone other than humans."
I see, that kind of thing.
I am a human in the previous life, I understand my feelings. It would not be interesting to be dominated by werewolf.
So I'm not particularly angry and ask the necessary questions.
"Is that your view as a leader of the Territory?"
Immediately Juch shook his head.
"That's terrible. This is my personal opinion."
"Youch doesn't seem to like walking with demons because they have no power to defeat demons."
I plenty of irony.
I have the right to take his life. In a second, he can roll his neck on a red carpet.
But Yucht looked straight at me without fear.
"This world should be governed by humans, not demons. As before."
When the demons ask, they are laughing, but I understand his feelings well.
That said, we occupied Lünheit by force. The power of words will not let go of that right.
In addition, there is no room for concessions if the demonic rule itself is denied. No matter how ex-human, I can't afford it.
He understands his sentiment, but the negotiations seem to be over.
When I approached him, I showed me a special, evil smile that I had practiced for.
"It's interesting. Let's rule with human power."
I took it out of my pocket.
