Sairin Yuusha no Fukushuu Hanashi

I remember two alchemists (alchemists), who I once met in the Patriarchate.

George Ignace Ervanacht.

Lily Famina Ambram.

Ignace, the two with baptismal names taken from the names of Famina and the Holy Capital, belonged to the Knights of the Diocese at the time.

George was captain of Squad Four and Lily was deputy captain of Squad Four.

"It's good to see you. My name is George Ignace Elvanacht. I'm captain of unit four."

Lily Famina Ambram, deputy captain of Squad Four.

I remember the two of you talking to me when I came to the Patriarchate with the party.

George was a middle-aged man with a good width, and Lily was a nervous looking early thirties or so woman.

They said that beside being part of the Knights of the Diocese, they were using alchemy to experiment for people.

"Lord Amatsu, I say straight in. I want you to provide us with parts of your body, like your hair and blood."

said the two.

Alchemy isn't just magic to make gold.

"We are now doing research that creates parts of the human body."

"If your gut, and your hands and feet are completely missing, healing magic won't get you back where you lost them. I'm wondering if we can cover that with alchemy."

The two studies had been conducted in secret.

Because if the followers of Meltism see it, they consider it a blasphemy to God, such as the artificial creation of the human body.

"Perhaps it will be blasphemy against Master Melt. … Still, we want to save people who are physically defective because of wars, accidents, or illnesses"

"To that end, I want you to help me with a high level of magic. Please, Lord Amatsu...!"

I answered both of those pleadings as I deserved.

I do not know the circumstances of the Melt Church, but the two studies have been carried out to 'help' people.

Then I gladly cooperated in the study, saying that I had no reason to say no.

Hair, nails, skin, blood, saliva, and magic.

I offered them nothing to spare.

If it helps people.

"Boulder, our Savior who stood up to save people - the" hero Amatsu "lord!. I sincerely thank you"

"Thank you. Now we can move on to the next stage of our research!"

I also accepted, as a matter of course, the two desires not to say anything else.

"I heard Lord Amatsu wants peace in the world. I want you to help me achieve your ideals."

"As a member of the Knights of the Diocese, I will do my best"

I was happy to hear such a dialogue.

Now that I think about it, I just think it's stupid.

It's insane to see each other and believe everything they say.

It's too tight a failure for black history.

In the end, I don't know what happened to that research.

However, even now, for thirty years, there is no way to repair the missing flesh.

... Well, I guess that's the thing.

I don't know what those guys use my body for.

All I know is that they took part in my murder for their own personal gain.

The condition is to give my body as research material.

They had a compromise with Olivia, who was putting out the same conditions.

Maybe George and the others had a connection to that woman.

"Then we shall work on the equipment to be sent to Lord Amatsu. Suppose it reduces magic resistance and keeps it brittle"

"Oh, and I'll also tell you what happened to the Cathedral Knight that day. Work with others to make sure you're late entering the castle."

"On that day, the first to storm would be the squad and the second squad. It's good to work on their gear. It's going to be interesting if you plant magic that activates over time and blow your hands and feet off during battle. The boulder is going to make me feel like an amatuer, so I won't be able to use it"

"I can't say for sure yet, but I'll look for anyone who might be available. Because suppressing the haulier of magic supplies (magic items) is going to make a lot of things happen."

Conversation I saw in Lewsas' memory.

Of these, I have the most memorable thing.

It's like sipping a saliva.

Dripping from round fat pork steak, like gravy.

They said with a look painted on their desires.

"Why do you want Amatsu's body?"

"Oh, is that so decided? Hey?"

"Ha ha, you're right"

"It's decided because it's going to be gold."

◆

Two days have elapsed since the day of the Wing Dragon (Wyburn) raid.

Church libraries and the collection of information in cities have given us much of the information we wanted to know.

Firstly, information about the Absence of Light (Kiko) Labyrinth.

When I broke through in my last summons, I found that I wasn't so different.

Measures against the labyrinth seem as good as last time.

However, the demons are fortified.

Even with the tag with Elfi, the struggle seems better prepared.

Then we also know that the Cathedral Knights are preparing for the crusade of the Labyrinth.

Even though kingdoms, federations, empires and nations are crusading the labyrinth, chances for crusade are increasing in the diocese as well.

For the most part, the upper ecclesiastical members of the patriarchate that received it - the Melt Church - must have issued a crusade order to the Knights of the Diocese if they could not be beaten by another country.

The battle abilities of the diocesan knights are of a higher standard than those of combat organizations in other countries.

Even in previous battles with the Demon King's Army, the Cathedral Knights took care of him several times.

I don't know what their current strengths are, but if the Knights of the Diocese, who have taken full measures against the Labyrinth, challenge the Labyrinth to 'Fear no annihilation', or crusade might be possible.

We don't know exactly when we're headed for the crusade, but let's keep an eye out for trends in the Cathedral Knights.

There are other missing persons out in the city on a regular basis, and we know that the Cathedral Knights are under investigation.

Well, this won't be about what we do.

Next, information on the subject of revenge.

I got the name of the Knights of the Cathedral and Captain of the Second Regiment.

It's Marx Pietro Sandalfon.

He was right about my visibility.

Marx seems to have taken the captain's seat as a successor to the recent death of his predecessor.

Other than that, I didn't get much information.

You need a little more information about this guy.

And about the orphanage that caused me to come here.

A short distance from Schmeltz is a small forest.

An example orphanage appears to exist in the area surrounded by the forest.

They are mainly taking away children who have lost their closeness in wars and such.

The couple who once belonged to the Knights of the Diocese run the orphanage.

George and Lily.

Those are the ones who betrayed me on the Lucifinas' proposal.

He tried to kill me like an alchemist, and all the scumbags who worked on me.

But they had a good reputation on their backs.

A friendly couple who do everything for the children they take away.

Karen told me in the Empire that it was the very reputation of the Holy Parents.

An orphanage? Oh, is that Mr. George's place? They're taking away unaccompanied children for free... they're really good people '

'I saw you walking around the city with your kids before. The kids seemed to have a lot of fun. "

'Oh, even if I knew. Holy parents, as many people call them.'

Everyone and he, all positive opinions.

... Don't be ridiculous.

You think the people who betray people for personal gain are the Holy Parents?

That craving scumbag?

I'm not kidding.

There's no reason to believe it.

So I decided to go see the orphanage in person.

◆

Leaving the holy capital Schmelz, we head to the orphanage.

The orphanage is in the northeast direction and won't take as long on foot.

"Ham...... ham"

Elfi is walking next door.

Eating things like apple pie I got at Reishi's Green Apple Pavilion.

…………

... I'm pissed off right now.

Indirectly, a lot of people praise the people who killed me.

Have you ever been so angry?

Even nausea is remembered for expressions such as Holy Parents.

So I tried to act as alone as possible.

Just go scouting, so you can be free, tell Elfi.

I can still remember Elfi's frightened look at that time.

"Fool. What are we going to do if we leave you alone and get attacked there by the kingdoms?"

That's what they said, and I finally realized I was losing my cool.

Those two distracted me so much that I forgot the possibility of being raided.

The same goes for heroic times, but it's a big drawback to focus too much on one thing and narrow your horizons.

There is nothing you can do to be frustrated, but you have to make an effort not to narrow your horizons.

"Amu...... Um, this is good stuff. The texture outside the fabric is crisp and the inside is trout. I can't even feel the apple shaking."

I have to thank Elfi.

"It's Iori. What's wrong with staring at me so much?"

"... no, it's nothing"

"Mm-hmm. So you're still in love with me, huh? I thought it was suspicious from the time of the Nara Labyrinth."

"No."

"Heh, don't light it. Don't light it. It is inevitable that you will fall in love with me as bright and wise as this green apple pie."

The analogy is no longer wise.

"Let's allow you to see my sexy body. Thanks but good. My men would have been happy to cry."

"I'm telling you it's not"

"It's okay, I know. See, more but better. There you go."

…………

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!?"

Only a little thanks to Elfi, the irritation subsided.

Honestly, let's thank you.

You must have come to me deliberately to be frustrated to distract me.

... maybe. Probably.

Then a few dozen minutes later.

"... over there"

I could see the forest that there was an orphanage.

When it comes to forests, it's not as deep as the Urgus forest that was between the kingdom and the Union.

Little woods, so little demons are born.

"Around here... the hero Amatsu has been witnessed."

During the gathering of information, I also heard my information that I had been witnessed near the Holy City.

Grey-haired, long-lasting man.

That's what they saw around here a couple of times.

But when I heard all this, I just saw a man who looked like me.

He's a grey-haired, long-haired man, and he's going to rot in this world.

I don't even think about it...

I don't even think it's a coincidence.

"Maybe Amatsu's resentment of being murdered by them shows up in these woods."

"What would happen to me if I were here?"

"... were there two amatsu?"

Is that why?

Proceed through the woods.

While we talk, we don't fail to be vigilant.

"... there are" earth giants (golems) "everywhere.

Elphi's demonic eye revealed that there were earthly giants all over the forest.

It's for surveillance, I guess, because it won't attack even close.

Even when we gather information, we hear that there are demons in this forest that are born very rarely and earthly giants to protect their lost children.

You've already noticed us.

This is only a reconnaissance.

I don't have a problem finding out.

Move on to know how to monitor, position, number, etc.

Next time you come here, you can break in without finding out.

Then a dozen minutes later, we arrived at the orphanage without a thing.

"... looks normal."

Behind the woods was an extremely ordinary orphanage.

I'm just saying it's run by a couple, and it's not that big.

There was a line of playthings in the garden and I could see the kids playing.

Especially not looking crazy.

Looking out, people came out of the inside.

She's a nerve-wrapped, twitchy-eyed woman in her late thirties.

I'm a lot fatter than I used to be... but my appearance hasn't changed much?

... this.

"… what have you done?"

Here they come. Lily called out.

Obviously, I'm on guard here.

Besides, we responded with a predetermined dialogue.

"Excuse me. I heard there's an orphanage near Schmeltz, here for sure?"

"Yeah, I am. Can I help you...?"

"Yes, I was wondering if you knew anyone here."

"... do you know him?"

Talk to Lily about the names and settings of the lies.

We used to live in a village with a patriarchate.

But the village was destroyed by the attack of the Demon King's Army, all scattered in pieces.

So I'm looking for someone I know in the village, and I'm looking around at an orphanage in the diocese, he said.

"Was it..."

Lily looked sorry and was listening to us.

That's irritating.

A look filled with desire, like I saw in Lewsas' memory, seems to be a lie.

"Okay. Please come inside."

As I thought, I was going to be able to get you inside the orphanage.

I also assumed they would say no, but I said it surprisingly well.

...... too smooth.

I can't believe I didn't even show you a distressing gesture.

"Oh... I'm late for my offer. My name is Lily Famina Elvanacht. I run this orphanage with my husband."

Again, are you sure in Lily?

"I'm asking about your reputation. You think they call you the Holy Parents?"

"Don't exaggerate like that. We're just running an orphanage for ourselves. I like to see children's faces."

"That's great...... Apparently, it's a rumor."

I said it myself and I think I'm going to throw up.

Then I asked what bothered me.

You're young, aren't you?

Thirty years have passed since then.

Even so, I'm barely old.

So was Olivia.

Lily laughed happily at my words.

When you're in contact with a child, you get youthfulness.

◆

Let's say from the results.

I found a number of magical tricks, but there was no strange thing.

Slightly more surveillance eyes, but many war orphans with trauma. Not unnatural numbers here.

The only thing suspicious was the tightly sealed room in the back.

Asking Lily insignificantly, they explained that they were alchemists and replied that it was an alchemy lab.

He runs an orphanage with money obtained from selling the results of the study and support from the diocese.

Because it's dangerous, it seems to keep the child out of the way.

There's nothing strange about the explanation.

There was nothing unusual about the kids here either.

The little kids were looking good.

I saw several children of the sub, but not so rare in the diocesan country where the hit against the sub became weaker.

I secretly spoke with Elfi, but it wasn't even the wind that was being done weird.

On the contrary,

"You two are so sweet!"

"They give me a lot of snacks!

"You two found my family! I'll see you soon!"

"Sheena went to see her family yesterday."

And it seemed pretty, favorable.

I checked it on the brainwashed line just in case, but it didn't either.

I also met George.

This guy, too, was pretty young.

Little has changed in appearance since then.

But the funny thing is, that's all.

They were doing everything for the orphans, and the children seemed happy.

More than normal, it was a good orphanage.

Nothing, nothing.

◆

Naturally, there can't be anyone I know inside the orphanage.

We're going home to thank you.

"Famina also has an orphanage. Why don't you go there, too?"

"I'm sorry I can't help you. I hope you two meet people from the same village."

At the break up, they said that with a look of sorry.

Not like when you killed me, you looked like a good couple.

"... good, too"

"I think it's a crop."

There was nothing.

But there's no way those guys have done anything.

Something's got to be working bad behind it.

"... but"

Such thought was cut off by a word of Elphi.

"The children seemed happy."

――――

"... what are we going to do?"

Quiet, Elfi asks.

I thought you were going to kill those two.

Do you know what that means?

…………

"If those two regret betraying you,"

…………

"As an atonement, suppose you run this orphanage. Io, what are you going to do?"

I am.

Because of them, they're dead.

They killed me.

Regrettably, even if you were making amends, that doesn't change.

Hate.

Whether you regret it or make amends for your self-satisfaction.

Nothing's changed, I hate them.

As much as I want to go back and kill you right now.

But.

If you two are really raising a child in this orphanage to make amends.

If I kill those two, what happens to the kids?

"Whatever choice Io makes, I respect it"

I am.

"Still, I..."

In the end.

Ahead of that word, when we arrived at Schmeltz, we did not come out.
