Episode XIV: Tears Before The Grave

On behalf of the Knights of the Diocese, the news arrived that it was anonymous.

It's an orphanage just outside the Holy City, where blasphemous research is being carried out.

Even with the reward, the Cathedral Knights did not move quickly.

It would be some kind of prank anyway, because I got an order that I didn't have to.

But then immediately at the Great Sacred Gate surrounding the Holy City, many orphans were protected.

The children testify that they have fled that orphanage.

The majority of the children did not know the circumstances, but the two children explained the circumstances in the orphanage.

Says an illegal experiment was underneath the orphanage.

So many children have been sacrificed, and they have fled.

With that information, the Cathedral Knights finally moved.

Captain of the second squad, several knights, including Marx Pietro Sandalfon, surveyed the orphanage.

Underneath the orphanage, dozens of bodies were found, he said.

It is also seen from the traces that the total number of victims rises to hundreds.

A background check was in a hurry.

Other illegal drugs, etc. have been found to be controlled in the diocese.

Some, experimental instruments, etc. have been burned and we do not know what we were studying.

No sign of either George or Lily already, and a search is currently under way by the Cathedral Knights.

The connection with the missing persons incident in the Holy City is also under investigation.

The title of Holy Parents, which had been given to the two of them, was a change.

As blasphemers to God for committing mass murder, the two were to be nominated.

Protected children were to be protected by the Cathedral Knights until a pick-up destination was found -.

- That concludes this one case.

After disposing of George and the others, we took our children to the Holy City.

And by letting them protect their children at the Cathedral Gate, they make the Cathedral Knights investigate the basement of the orphanage.

This allowed them to protect their children at the same time as their evil behavior became taboo.

The Cathedral Knights stink, but by taking care of them, the Church itself will move.

If the state were to protect you, you wouldn't be able to do that.

A child named Michelle and Sheena, who were heavily damaged, was to be admitted to a hospital in the Holy Capital.

I couldn't heal my body to the point where I gave the boulder a potion.

There was a lot of mental drain.

And I erased all the information about the "hero amatsu" that was in the lab.

Olga and the others' materials and the data they collected from me have also been crushed and incinerated with care.

There will be no such thing as my homunculus being made in the future.

A few days after that.

The ridiculous title of Holy Parents disappears, and there are all sorts of rumors about them all over the Holy Capital.

The two were cults who believed in "Fallen Light God" Hardia, sacrificing their children.

As a matter of fact, he was a demon clan and a spike to drop a hard-preserved sacred capital.

I was experimenting to revive the heroic amatsu...... etc.

They range from off-target objects to divisive and truly imminent ones.

Well, it has nothing to do with those guys who are dead.

I didn't care about the title of Holy Parents, so it's not a bad thing that it disappeared.

There's one more thing than that, there's a problem.

It means that there are people who are turning around turning off rumors that are not convenient.

This chest shit bad one, it's not over yet.

A few days after that.

Michelle was having a blurry time.

That underground memory is a little vague.

I remember two men and women coming to help me.

But soon afterwards, he lost consciousness, and when he woke up, he was being transported to the Holy City.

I was relieved when I heard Sheena and the other kids were safe.

Though it was hard to answer the questions of the Cathedral Knight who came to the hospital room.

The wound was almost healing and Michelle said she could be discharged tomorrow.

…………

From the cathedral knight, I had heard about that orphanage.

Apparently, George and Lily disappeared from the orphanage.

He asked if he knew where he was going, but Michelle replied that she didn't know.

Neither does Olga, nor their son Dirty, seem to have been found.

All together, missing.

Somehow, but Michelle felt like they weren't alive anymore.

Because I guess that's what it means to be here safely.

More than that.

What continues to remain on Michelle's chest was about Amazu.

…………

I made a ragged noise and the door opened.

Turning his gaze to see if anyone was here again, Michelle hacks.

"... I'm sorry to bother you"

"My brother..."

I came in because I only looked amazing for a moment.

Immediately, Michelle realizes it was a mistake.

It was that brunette boy who came.

"Did I make you mistake? I'm sorry."

"No...... Er..."

"Can I talk to you for a second?"

"Yes......"

Then Michelle talked to the brunette boy.

Apparently he is Amatsuki Ioli.

(After all, they look alike)

Amatsu and ioli.

Even though the back length and hair color are different, the two are somewhere alike.

The same goes for the face, but the atmosphere is somewhere close.

Although Ioli is more tingly than Amatsu.

"... I'm going to tell you the backdrop of things for once"

And what happened after that was told from Ioli's mouth.

They said they cooperated to defeat Olga and set themselves free.

It was cloudy with words, but it still seems that Georges and the others are not in the world anymore, as Michelle expected.

"What happened to your brother..."

After hearing all the stories, Michelle asked Ioli that.

He meditated his eyes, with an indescribable look on his face, and took what was out of the porch.

It was a torn little cloth.

"... it"

"This was all they brought. His body... that, because it disappeared quickly"

Toothless. When I said that, Ioli handed me the cloth.

For the hand, Michelle remembers.

This is what Amatsu was wearing.

"... brother,..."

…………

Grab the cloth, Michelle shivers her body.

My vision is blurring and my nose is getting tummy and hot.

Still before Iori, Michelle cried desperately.

Then a while later, Ioli took a seat.

"... then it's time to go"

"... ioli. Thank you for your help."

To Michelle, whom I thank, Ioli shook her head.

I'm not the one who helped you.

…………

"It was him who told me about you guys. I might not have been able to help you if I'd stayed that way."

So he said it was Amazu who helped Michelle and the others.

That's what Ioli said.

"... oh, your brother is"

- I didn't die for nothing.

Tell him I want him to keep a secret about himself if he can, and Ioli tries to get out of the room.

Seeing that back, Michelle remembered that there was.

that I met a group of people when I tried to get out of the woods.

When I tell you about it, Ioli stops moving perfectly.

"... didn't the group say their names or something?"

Tracking his memory, Michelle remembers that there is.

Just before you lose your mind, say what one of the men was saying.

"- Sure... Mr. Marx said"

"... brother"

The next day.

Michelle was coming to that forest.

Orphanages are forbidden to enter by the Cathedral Knight, but they can enter near the entrance.

Michelle buried the cloth Ioli gave her on the ground.

Give him a wooden plaque depicting his name on it and make a grave.

The victims of the orphanage, who remain dead, are made graves as soon as they have been investigated.

Yuma and the others' graves are already made and we just stopped by before we got here.

But there's no tomb of amatsu.

Because he won't have a body left in Homunculus.

And only a few people know that he helped.

The children, starting with Sheena, don't know who they fought desperately for as one.

I didn't like that.

"... so I made your brother's grave. Not lavish, but now forgive me."

Towards the grave I made, Michelle says.

"As you can see, I'm not hurt anymore. Because I left the hospital yesterday. Sheena's going to take a little longer, but she looks fine. I don't remember much about the orphanage."

I wish I could keep forgetting... and Michelle shrugs.

"The other kids are perfectly fine. No injuries or illnesses at all. Jumping on the cathedral knights, so angry."

I was so mad at a knight named Leo who came to see how we were doing.

You don't seem to understand George and the others.

"... so I need to hold on"

Because I'm the biggest of them all.

"... all of it. Thanks to your brother. Everyone knows nothing and is making a scene, Sheena is in the hospital, and I'm here... All thanks to your brother's help."

The wind blows when you touch it, and the trees around you shake.

No one responds to Michelle's words.

"... thanks, brother"

Everything has been vague the last few days.

It wasn't clear and I didn't know what it really felt like.

"The truth is... I wanted to thank you in person. Say thank you to your brother... Thanks to your brother, we were all saved..."

Yet when I realized it, tears were telling my cheeks.

I could have enjoyed the time of Iori.

More than I can contain, tears overflow.

"More... I wanted to talk to you..."

That's how Michelle leaks a whimper.

Just one person, think of Amazu.

Your brother, who helped himself, said he was a real hero.

"Ahhhhhh... ahhh"

Tears coming down from Michelle's cheek.

Potatoes and stained the soil of the tomb.

"... is that enough?"

Turn your back on one tearful girl in front of the grave and I'll walk out to the forest exit.

From behind, Elphi follows.

"... oh. He's not moving, either."

Besides, I didn't want to take any more peeks.

... because I don't like it.

I don't want to tarnish her thoughts.

"Do I like that part of you?"

"... Shut up, let's go"

"Kufu, don't light it. Don't light it."

Walk unanswered around the perimeter.

I don't now, but I have the feeling of being seen from time to time.

Probably the Lutherans.

There's no raid, but I can't break my guard for a while.

Those are troublesome people.

"But it was a bad case."

"... right"

Dozens of bodies found.

To see the traces, nearly ten times that number of humans would have been killed.

Periodically it was incinerated and I think it was disposed of.

"Most of the bodies were children... but some, adults were mixed"

"... Speaking of which, there was a missing person in the Holy City."

"Oh. Seeing as he was murdered in that basement, I'm pretty sure he was"

The question is, why were adults killed?

"There were quite a few children in the orphanage. If you're replenishing magic, you just have to use them. It would be difficult to dispose of an unaccompanied child with legs.

"Why did you go out of your way to grab people and dispose of them..."

Some speculations have been made, but they have not been corroborated.

Well, that should be investigated from now on.

I'm not done with this one yet.

"Have you decided on your next target yet?"

"Oh, sure."

In the hospital room, I remember what Michelle was saying.

"- Sure... Mr. Marx, he said"

I'm pretty sure I saw him chewing on this one.

Then I will avenge my revenge after revelating it.

The way to get revenge, too, needs to be inquisitive.

…………

Well, I thought.

Um, about the homunculus.

"... I was back then"

I'm sure, like that...

"Did I say something?"

"... no"

Shake your head and proceed with your steps.

The road has already been divided.

I'll go my way.

"Well, let's call it our next revenge."
