While the sun is shining, polish the daily treasure while stretching.It was a nice day outside, but I didn't plan to go out anymore.I am an indoor person. [M]You can pull it into the clanmaster room for days unless someone takes it outside.
Eva is the only point of contact with the outside world while we're tucked into the top of the Clan House.She comes face to face every day, whether I have business or not - or every day. [M]I have an errand called Reporting.I've been listening to it all the time, but it doesn't seem to matter to Ava.
Eva hasn't delivered any newspapers today, so she'll be reporting back on the situation in the Imperial City.
"It looks like the Empire sees the prophecy of the Astrology Institute quite heavily."There is also a case of Sword Saint , and I think it is very imposing. "
"Hmm, it's a bit noisy." A lot is happening in the Imperial Capital these days, isn't it? "
…………
Eva stares at us silently.No, I might have made some mistakes, but... if the [Sword Saint] hadn't given me something weird in the first place, there wouldn't have been any incidents yesterday...
I kept my eyes peeled that everything started with Eliza.It would be sad if you stopped pointing out and brought me the treasure. That's why you brought so many things, so it wouldn't be strange if there was only one spell in it.
After all, Citri didn't come back after a night.
You should soon notice that the contents of the water bottle have changed, so I'm probably busy with something else.There were many good hunters, so basically I was the only one left free in [Ghost of Mourning].
Eva tells me that I'm completely in energy saving mode and I'm supposed to be one of those busy people.
"Thank you. There's a big catch in the church."
“I didn't do anything!”
"...... is it true?"
…………
Eva will be looking at us with her own eyes.Apparently, you already knew that I was the cause of yesterday's uproar at the Academy of Magic.
I didn't. You didn't do anything, did you?
In the first place, the church and I have little contact.Perhaps the only point of contact is Anthem's affiliation.
There are many pillars in this world called gods, but the "All Light Gods" that the Light Spiritual Church to which Anthem belongs as the Supreme God is one of the most famous gods in the world, and is the root of the sacred system magic-healing technique.
Generally speaking, a healing magician (writer) refers to a person who worships this God and enjoys his power, and there are many believers in treasure hunters.The [Black Gold Cross], which has the healing power of all, is all of its followers, except for the mage Marietta, and almost all of those who hold the position called "Paladin" are its followers.
The Imperial City is only a big city, and the size of the Light Spirit Church is quite large, but at the same time, the Light Spirit Church had the nature of not deeply engaging with other people.
If you want, you can come in, but you are not active in acquiring believers - said Anthem, because the power of the "God of All Light" is not infinite.
Greetings, if the number of believers grows and the number of those who ask for help grows, the power of the individual will weaken.At first glance, it seems to be the most classified story of the church, but it is a worldly story.And even though it is such a passive organization, the fact that believers are all over the world can be said to indicate the usefulness of the power of God of Light.
And it came to pass, when I went unto the church to meet Ansem, that I was cast upon my face to see.I'm Anthem's best friend, my best friend!Finally, Lucia's brother.
I thought for a while and frowned.
"......... did I do something?"
"...... even if I told you... do you remember me?"
"No, not at all, but I didn't remember when I was [Sword Saint] or [Black World Tree]..."
…………
No... I tried to think back, but I didn't do anything.In the first place, Anthem is not the type to pull me away from Liz and Luke, so I haven't been close to the church lately.
Mmm, nodding alone, satisfied with her self-corruption, Eva sighed smallly.
"...... Well, the Light Spirit Church specializes in curses, so... there are also stories of cooperation in creating a barrier surrounding the Imperial City."
"I'm sure Anthem will be busy... but I'm sure he'll be here soon."
Check the clock. I was escorted on a daily basis around this time of day, but today was Anthem Day.
Well, he's a very popular Holy Knight in the Imperial City Church.The popularity probably crossed Lucia's line.I was given the armor of treasure as a reward.
I may not be able to escape from the confusing prophecy of the Astrological Mystic Academy... I haven't had a chance to speak slowly with Anthem lately, and I'd like to talk to you, but if it comes, I'll tell you that I won't be out today.
The newspaper also wrote about the catastrophe that attacked the Magic Academy, but the cause was barely touched upon.Apparently, Sage and the others decided to hide the truth about the matter.
When I found the description that there were no dead people, I was relieved. At that time, the sympathetic stone that was thrown on the desk began to tremble.
I feel like I've been shaking every day lately... "I didn't want to leave, but I had no choice but to leave in front of Eva.
When he activated it while it was still on his desk, the stone stopped moving tightly, and after a lot of silence, he said in a pushing voice.
... I'll kill you!
"...... I'm mistaken."
I'll kill you!! I didn't tell you to stop cursing and start another case!!!I told you not to wake anything up!!In this case, the curse is better!
I heard an angry shout as if it had been emitted right in front of me.I'm glad I kept it away from my ears.
It seems that the voltage has risen quite a bit, but I can't do anything until you tell me what happened first.
"...... but I'm actually... Lucia's brother?"
Do you know that there is a major disturbance at the Plymouth Magic Academy about a certain potion that is currently in progress?
"...... Could it be that Franz has gathered all the troubles in the Imperial City?"
And do you think you're a fan of me to contact me all the time?
I'm sick of seeing Mr. Franz cut off with a quick mouth.
I'm going to kill you. I just got a leak from my alchemist, and I almost wouldn't have noticed without it!It's a potion brought in by your alchemist!Thirty Knights of the Third Knight, who had broken in to quell the crackdown, were all killed.In an instant, with a paralyzing gas!Come right now, I'm not going to wipe your ass anymore!This time--This time, I'll be listening to you! "
... I see. I don't know what to say...
I said in horror that I could calm myself down by taking a deep breath.
”...... but that potion is probably strawberry milk”
Ah!?
The potions my alchemist brought in...
I don't know what to say... I can even say the manufacturer.Don't struggle to understand what's going on and how you can make such a commotion with one strawberry milk.
From Franz's story, it seems that Citri took it to the old nest without realizing it was strawberry milk.
Notice it now!
”Don't say things you don't understand!Hurry up and come to the Magic Academy!
"No... I don't know why, but I put it in a water bottle."
'!?......?!??'
The common stone is silenced by the violent sound of something falling.
When I raised my face, Eva pulled my cheek and stared at me with a shiver.No... this is different.
It shouldn't be my fault this time around.Shouldn't they be praised instead?
Even if it was a fake, it was such a commotion, how much it would have been if it had been real... "
"The curse is better... haha"
What the hell do you want me to do?I just threw the potions away and put the strawberry milk in the water bottle!
... yes... yes, that's right. You've done some extra work.I wanted to compare them... and I didn't think Citrix would come at that time.
But it's not too late. I'm sure that if you realize that you've made a mistake, you'll be able to calm down a few crazy alchemists.
Even if the potion were a real hazard, I think the reaction is strange, but I don't think it would be better to touch it too much."Gentlemen, I don't want to get too close to the danger zone..."
I put my legs together on the chair and said with a hard-boiled smile to Ava, who was still stiff.
"...... Eva, I'll take care of it."
"!? What are you talking about!? Please don't leave it to me!"
Eva opens her eyes and comes up in a panic.Oh, don't let Eva take care of you. This may be my first time. Rare!
At that time, there was a loud footsteps and the door was knocked on.
When I reply, the door opens, I bend over and Anthem comes in.
"Ah, Anthem. It's been a long time, it's been a long time."
"Hmm... I'm sorry."
A muffled voice can be heard from behind the lowered instep.
Oh, Anthem has been talking for a long time.This was rare, too. Eva's eyes were wide open.
He has been a silent man for a long time.And he's also a polite man.
Although Anthem's body is extraordinary in size, the Clan Master Room was designed in anticipation of Anthem's growing flesh at the time of construction.
Well, I can't let you into my private room, but I guess I can't help it. [M]Please come in small with the power of your armor...
Anselm stood in front of me in a very slow motion like a large demonic beast.If it moves too hard, it breaks things, so it seems that it moves as slowly as possible.
Standing in front of me was as oppressive as ever.Ava, who had been seeing her for a long time, seemed to be slightly atrophied by the awe-inspiring gesture.
I sit down deep in my chair and say to all the party kids who have come to escort me despite my busy schedule.
"The church is struggling with the curse, right?"I'm sorry you bothered to come, but if you were busy, I won't be out today, so I'll be fine. "
I mean, I can't go out there without Anthem!
"............ no"
Anselm says one word and sits down on the floor.Only then did the floor sway slightly.
I didn't seem to have any weapons and shields today, but I could still hit them with my bare hands.Maybe he's the one standing till the end of the battle royale in [Ghost of Mourning].
If I was at the Martial Emperor Festival, it wouldn't be strange to win.
"Well, make yourself at home."
Umu
Anthem nodded tinyly and remained still.When he stops moving, it looks like he's just a big object, not a person.
Is this... relaxing?Well, if he's good, that's fine.
Eva is puzzled about what to do with an unusual customer.The confusion just now disappeared magically.This would also be his virtue.
Qi is gentle and powerful. If he had had a fight like Liz and the others, it would have been a great thing. The world, the most important thing, is well done.
When I got up, I took out a spray and a mop to polish the metal and approached Anthem.
I just finished polishing my treasure, and I'm almost out of time.
Spraying a wall of spray on her back, Anthem leans over and looks at her and says in a muffled voice.
"............ no"
"Don't be shy."
”……………………………………………………………………………”
The armor of the treasure item was not dirty, and even if I brushed it, it wouldn't change much, but it was better than not brushing it.
Without hesitation, I stopped moving again like Anthem had given up when I started taking care of the scrubbing armor with the mop.
§
When I finished brushing my armor, it was completely dusk, and my body was sore.
My collection is close by, but it's only Anthem's armor that makes it a good exercise to maintain (technically, his armor is not a collection).
"Huh, 'Marine's Cry'?" The curse that the church had sealed, hey
"............ um"
Anthem nodded heavily. Apparently, the church catches Eva heard about in the rumors were true.
Anthem is silent, but he never dislikes communication.The conversation while polishing the armor revealed the general situation.
It seemed that the church was currently engaged in a purification operation to cleanse the spells it possessed.And it looked like Anthem would be mobilized too.
The power that the God of All Light gives is not only healing.Sealing and barrier surgery are also included.
Originally, there were many powerful spells that had been sealed tightly for a long time in the Light Spirit Church of the Empire.
Sealed spells didn't seem to be dangerous, but seal magic wasn't perfect.Failure can arise over time, and although it is rare, it can be solved suddenly.In fact, there are cases where great damage has occurred as a result.
The spells had been stored without any problems, but it was only natural that Zebrudia, who had washed the cause of the astrological prophecy with blood eyes, would look at them.
Then, as a result of discussions between the Empire and the upper echelons of the church, it was decided to purify the [Marine Cry], a spell that was considered particularly powerful among the many seals.
If suddenly the seal is lifted and the country is destroyed out of hand, it is better to purify it by lifting the seal under a perfect attitude. The idea of reversal.
After a long time, it was almost time for the seal to be redone, but the church also did quite something.
Is that okay?
"............ Hmm?"
Anthem tilts his neck. I really wanted to purify the spell, but I wanted you to remember that Anthem was a member of my party.
He is sturdy and calm, but he does not feel anything.Inadvertently check with the hard boiler.
"Shall I help you?"
No.
I was turned down... Liz and Luke would be so happy.But that's good!
Well, I'm sure Anthem will be fine.I could take Ark, Sven, or Lucia with me.The church may be reluctant to involve outsiders, but safety comes first.
"By the way, what exactly is the 'Marine Cry' curse?"
………………
There are some treasures in my collection that I think I can use in those circumstances, but I think you should stop giving them to me.
The opponent was sealed in the church for many years, and if the seal was bypassed, the Imperial City might perish, and it was a terrifying spell to be selected for purification.
Originally, the means of sealing is usually used for unmanageable existence."Marine Crying" was also a fierce church battle force at that time, and it probably had no choice but to seal the purification.
The Light Spirit Church must have been a great force since ancient times.I just heard the story and there was a dangerous smell.If I were to express the difficulty level, would it be eight or more?
If something is done here, this time it may be irreversible.I've been bothering Anthem a lot, and I'd like to show you something useful once in a while.
Then Anthem nodded heavily and said with a breath.
"[Marine Cry] is the highest ranked spell that was sealed in the church before the Imperial Capital could enter this place."It was an abominable curse killing weapon created as a result of the dark magician putting his hands to the resentment of a woman named Marin who had died illegally, and it was a long and headache for the Light Spirit Church.I was the first to hear the prophecy from Zebuldia.The Empire's offer was a transboundary ship, and it would be a great opportunity to purge it with the full backup of the great powers.Cry doesn't have to worry about anything. "
I see... that's a lot of trouble. The idea of living in a metropolis is that it is sealed by a church in the city where such dangerous goods live.
"...... how much damage has that weapon caused so far?"
"............ umu"
"Well, that's definitely what the Astrology Institute predicted, isn't it?"I told you that the country would perish... there's no stronger curse than that, right? "
I'm scared of how much damage I've been doing to my head when I've been told it's a curse that destroys my country.
If I can get away, I want to, but I can't leave Anthem.
Anthem remained silent for a while in response to my question, but then slowly shook his head to the side, lifting his arms and raising two fingers.
"...... is it the second or is it even higher?"
Umu
I'm so glad I didn't have to be a Paladin.To have to face such a terrifying person... well, I couldn't have been better.
“Let's think positively. I'm glad it wasn't the best."
"...... umu"
Anthem nodded with a deep sigh as he tried to make a smile and slapped me on the shoulder.
Suddenly, the door opened vigorously without knocking, and Citry jumped in.
Citri was so worn out that she could tell at a glance.There seems to be no noticeable scarring, but the hair and costume are disturbed, and I hold my left arm with my right hand.
As she entered the room, she raised a sweet, grumbling voice.
"About, come on ahhhhhhhhhhhh! and... oniichan"
Umu
Citrix's expression, which was somewhere bent, grimly solidified in his elder brother's figure.
What's the matter?
"...... no, no"
Citri returns to iodine and coughs up a small cough when she stands firmly.Release your holding hands and take out your robe.As expected, I was a little embarrassed. My ears were red.
I'm glad you look well.From the look of it, it seems that there is no injury and there is no mental problem.
Well, even if I'm not well, if I'm still alive, Anthem will heal me... but what were I going to do with a fake disease?
Citrix approached with a little concern for her brother and looked up at me with guilt-stimulating eyes.
"Thanks to Klee's plan, the Primes Academy of Magic has been closed for the time being."The upper echelons have largely been arrested... and my trust has fallen.It's Krai's...... I can't help but ask you to put it on your side! For a while! "
"...... y-yeah, that's right"
It's not a plan, and it seems like it's a terrible thing, but I don't have any other impressions than that the Imperial City has become peaceful.
It must have been a drawing of hell... I'm so sorry for the loss of trust, but you seem to have plenty of room to spare...Isn't there a limit to what you can enjoy?
Even in my sister's predicament, Anthem was not in a hurry at all.Both Liz and Citrix were good girls, but each one had a strong personality, so Anthem's effort was more than enough to observe.It is likely that his being so forgiving is also due to his two sisters.
I have a sister whose evidence is irreplaceable. [M]
Citry was like a borrowed cat, awkward to watch.Even though it doesn't seem strange to hug me normally leaving it to the tension - - I looked at my brother with a complicated expression, and blinked my eyes and took out the small box from my pocket.
Inside was an old crucifix pendant.A silver cross dulled in gold chains.In the center lies a gemstone with large grains of crimson.It is a little dirty, but if you try to buy it, it will get a lot of value.
Try to watermark the pendant you received.Apparently, it wasn't a treasure - I looked carefully at the deep crimson jewelry and saw strange characters engraved inside.Citri explains it to me.
"The master sneaked me close to being caught."It was a proper defense of the ancient tradition.If you don't let go of your skin and carry it with you, the spirits will protect you..... "
"I see...... the spirits will protect you."It's just perfect for Anthem right now. "
It seems that Citri's master was eventually caught unprotected... but is this effective?
Well, the cross is a symbol of the "holy" that the clergy prefer to carry.It was like an item for Anthem who was going to try to cleanse the spell.
I'm sure it's better than nothing.What if fate was causing trouble for this?
...... It's too confusing.
”…………………………………………… Hmmm”
Ansem roared as if she had pushed him to death.When I removed the chain, I put a pendant around Anthem's neck.
