Section IX: The Two Not Punished

"A favor is an exploration of a site."

"Ruins?"

Listen to Mr. Alonda and Carol reacts more than Mr. Rose. Specifically, the tail is shaken as a bumbuka, enough that the stirred wind reaches me.

"Yes, I think Iris knows, but this is a city with a backdrop where gems were once picked and thrived by it."

"Oh, then I heard from Iris before I came to this city. Nogrint St. was picked from the mine, wasn't it? Until a few hundred years ago."

"It's quick, if you know it. In fact, the tunnel that was dug at that time remains undamaged at Nogrint St., and that is the ruin..."

As we move on, Mr. Alonda's expression passes through calm and becomes depressing.

"There have been rumors lately that strange groans have been heard from around this site at night..."

At the end of the day, the tone of my voice dropped and followed me besides to tremble. Speaking of which, isn't Mr. Alonda good at talking about aunts and ghosts? When I was scolding a child who was trying liver in a cemetery behind a church during a summer festival, I would have looked just like I do now.

Tell me why you know that, because some of those kids had me. I was young then. My friend Micaña asked me to talk to you on the way here, and you didn't hesitate to follow me. I definitely can't do a cemetery at night or anything right now. I know exactly how Mr. Alonda feels.

"Groaning at night means something must have arrived. Wolves or bears. Or if it's subhuman, it could be goblins or something."

"No, I thought this frightened me, and the undead sprang up?"

That's what I said after Saluena had just a few ideas on her face. I was also the first to see Mr. Alonda's reaction to that possibility, so I nod.

"No, it's not a cemetery, and you don't usually leave undead or anything in the pit. And the fact that you were groaning doesn't mean you're still a new undead, not a skeleton or anything, right?"

But Toslin, an active adventurer, seems to disagree. And Carol, too.

"Hundreds of years ago, there was an accident before the mountain closed, and even if the victim was undead, the meat and stuff would normally rot off."

"Ugh... I knew you'd seen that before, the Toslins..."

"That's right. An adventurer. I hear night groans from the cemetery. If you ask me to confirm it, I'll be meeting with 89 zombies."

"Ahhh! I didn't want to hear that word!! I didn't want to hear that word in particular!!"

I suppress my ears and crouch in on the spot. I love adventure novels and read them often. But there are things that I don't like about novels like that. It's undead. Those who are kept alive while they die. I haven't seen the real thing yet, but the illustration is so awkward - it's painted. I'm sure the real thing must be so scary that my heart freezes.

"Heh, I don't like the Iris that way. Well, I thought maybe you would."

"Well, nobody likes it. I don't want to deal with zombies if I can. But if I were you, I'd knock you down!! Because that's haha!!"

'Cause I might have something golden.'

"You're right!! Rings, wallets, they're usually better than knocking down monsters because they stay that way."

Needless to say, a second attention came from Sister to Carol, who suddenly began to give a strong theory about zombies.

I wonder if I don't have to move this place. No one is coming to worship me, but I'm uncomfortable when I've been cautioned over and over by boulders. But worse than that, it was actually happening.

"I see, Mr. Toslin and Mr. Carroll did that before you met me."

"... ah, yabba..."

Toslin's face, now blues. Carol, who saw it, also turns blue as if she had a chain reaction. Until then, the tail that was going around with the boom has also now dripped like a lie.

"... this, even if it doesn't... it's gonna be like this? Butt again...... getting slapped with my hand?"

No, I won't do that.

Mr. Rosé shakes his neck to the side with a soft smile on his face. Seeing that, Carol and, in particular, Toslin seemed to be in deep relief.

"Ha, good...... At this age, they did that again. Shame on the boulders..."

"I had to flat out then, because this is a church. You must have all the tools to clean up your sins."

Mr. Rose grabbed Carol and Toslin's arm. Needless to say, don't run away, I guess.

"Hiya!?"

"... eh, kidding... right?"

"What is it?"

Oh, this... isn't it really a bad one? When I turned to Saluena to try it out, she looked flashy.

"I didn't know you would take the artefacts of the dead and degrade them... speech preaching. Such a heartless man is not worthy of our Knights. Clean up your sins and use this as an opportunity to change your mind."

"The punishment room is empty, so please use it as you please. In the meantime, I will prepare the materials for your request."

Alonda hasn't broken her smile as well as Rosé, but her eyes behind her glasses aren't laughing.

"Punishment is... Mr. Rose!? I don't know, whipping the Toslins..."

"Oh, stop!! I'm sorry!! I won't do it again!!"

"Wow, I'm sorry!! I'm reflecting!! I mean, I won't creep my money again, either, because this was quite a while ago!! I've been changing my mind since Rosé punished me!!"

"Yeah, I know. You two, the roots are very honest and wonderful people. But sin is sin. I did. It has to be cleansed."

Mr. Rosé is already motivated. I pull Toslin and Carol's hand and drag them cheats with a fortitude they usually never see.

"Lo, Mr. Rose... you know, we're both reflecting, so the punishment is not very tough..."

I thought you'd be fine because it's about Mr. Rose, but when I thought about it, I remembered you admitting that it was too much in the village of Lelton.

"Pfft. ♪ That's sweet, Mr. Iries. Don't worry, you will never violate the rules. Please wait here as soon as you are done."

But then an hour later.

"... Rose's, liar..."

"Rose's, ahoy..."

There were two people who were on their knees and trying to pray to the bench for worshippers.
