"So? What's wrong with the apple?
"Yep. Before we talk about that...... where was Master Muriel once?
"I think Muriel's having a snowball fight in the village."
"Hmmm...... this story has the most to do with Muriel, so I'd like Muriel to hear it too"
When Katie was in trouble, Muriel returned at the right time.
"Bye. Marion came down the hill crying. Did you guys bully me?
"I'm not bullying you. Okay? When I put my tail on it, I tickled and ran away."
"Is that what happened? It's surprisingly sensitive...... hmm? Is your lord sure it's Katie the heretic inquisitor?
"Yes. Long time no see, Master Muriel. Actually, you may see why Master Muriel has lost his power. In order to find out more about it, I would like you to lend your help to Baron Silverlight..."
"Bye!? Is that true! Lord, you're not brilliant."
"It's an honor to compliment you!
Praised by Muriel, Katie becomes a delectable face.
"Is that what you're here to talk about? I thought you said you wanted apples."
"I thought so, too."
"Mr. Katie is a bad person, too. If you'd told me that first, I'd have listened to this one seriously."
Yeah, Cheryl said,
"You didn't have time to say it!
Katie got angry.
"Everybody, chocolate is a pepper… I hope you listened to me for a moment!
"Oh, all right, all right. It's tough. Both Iris and Eclipse are still young. But the true patron saint, the concubine, knows the Lord."
"Ugh... Dear Muriel..."
As Muriel held her head, Katie hugged her thin chest.
To Katie, Sawatari Muriel would be an ideal god.
But if Muriel had been in church from the beginning, he would have joined Iris and said, "My concubine wants apples, too."
"So, what's the reason Muriel lost her power?
"Yeah, that's it. As I said earlier, the tip was on the apple! Baron Cheryl. Until two hundred years ago, did you know that this Silverlight Baron Territory specialty was an apple!?"
"Yeah, well. Was he once a rival to the Viscount of Cunningham next door?
"Yes, that's it! Viscount Cunningham has been making apples since before the Baron Silverlight. That's what made Baron Silverlight so popular. But two hundred years ago, suddenly Muriel lost the power of God and no one was left from Baron Silverlight territory. And Viscount Cunningham's apple returned to its prime place in this country... isn't it suspicious?!?"
"……… Huh? That's all?"
Iris asks.
"That's all, what?
"You just think you're suspicious, you mean you don't have proof?
"The evidence......... we're going to look into it!
Katie answered with Gatspaws.
Motivation is a good thing.
But Iris lost interest in the conversation.
"Good luck finding out. Good night -"
"Will you fall asleep!? Master Iris would also be the patron saint of this land! Don't you want to find out why Master Muriel's powers have disappeared!
"I'd like to find out... but what you're saying, it looks like a bit of a bad hit rate."
"I'll hit it! I believe in me!
"I'm incredible."
"What you believe will be saved!
"… it's a dialogue on the part of God."
"Never mind the details!
"If you want me to believe you, let's get the details right."
If Iris had pointed out the details, Katie would have been in tears.
"Iris, sister. Don't be mean."
"That's right. You narrowed your wisdom for Baron Silverlight's territory because of this, so let's pretend you believe it. I believed it properly. I'll pretend!
"Pretending to believe, Cheryl, you…………………"
Isn't it more cruel to say 'pretend to believe' in person in front of you than to ignore it?
Iris suspected that maybe he was saying it in a mean way, but apparently he's simply an asshole.
Cheryl, realizing that she had said something unsavory, turned into a hazy face and hurried to say it.
"It's not a gesture. I believe it properly. Viscount Cunningham, that's suspicious."
"Thank you for your concern............ but I'm fine. I have Muriel! Muriel will believe me, won't he?
"Ugh... but when it comes to sealing God's power, ordinary people can't do it first. That is what God does. To say I doubt Viscount Cunningham's realm means to question the god I know of my concubine... uhm"
Muriel arms up and speaks out in trouble.
Then Katie also voiced a troubled voice, "I don't know..."
"Hey. If you don't have any other idea, why don't you just do what Katie says? We only have about a snowball game during the winter anyway."
"Pupu."
"Everyone is free anyway," said Punigami to Eclipse's opinion.
"Well, I'm free... but I'm not free... because I'm more than happy to be free..."
"I didn't say anything I don't understand, I'm going to find out."
"You're eating down slowly today, Eclipse. Could it be that the sweet thing effect is running out............?
Eclipse, as you can see, is an innocent girl.
But that's when you're eating sweet things and your mind is calming down.
When the effect of a sweet object expires, its properties as a biological weapon that faithfully performs the Demon King's orders appear on the table.
Once Eclipse obeyed the demon king's orders, taking Cheryl hostage and trying to bring Iris back to the continent of Clifoto.
Being disobedient must mean we don't have enough chocolate.
"Cheryl. Chocolate Pleasure"
"Yes, please."
"Eclipse. Eat this."
"Wow... Momogu. Yum! So, Iris, sister. Don't ignore Katie."
"Ah, even if I eat chocolate, I have the same opinion...... hmm, if Eclipse says so much"
"Great, Katie."
Eclipse smiles. It's winter and it's a twisted smile.
This is already a goddess.
She's a real goddess these days because she's really gained her nature as a god with the faith of the villagers.
Apparently Iris also has a divine nature... but not as godly as Eclipse objectively.
No, but the magic of Iris made forests and lakes, so is it still a goddess?
"I shouldn't have lost to Eclipse either!
"Puffy."
Punigami told me it was "reckless."
Again, yes, Iris nods.
But I knew it myself, so I wasn't as shocked.
"Well, for now. If Muriel said he lost power because of someone, there must be traces of that, right? Like a ceremony to seal the power. So Muriel, come here. I'll check your body."
"Examine the concubine's body!? Huh, should I take off my clothes?!?"
"Why does that happen!
"'Cause if you ask me in a bed like that and they tell me I'm going to check my body, I'd associate it with you..."
"Well, I guess so......... No, I wouldn't associate it with you!
As Iris and Muriel yell at each other as they turn red, Eclipse tilts his neck.
"Hey. What did you associate with me?
"Eh, that is................................................................................"
"Well... it's hard to explain..."
"Tell me."
Mumbling, Eclipse pulled Iris' pajamas.
But I can't be honest with you.
It's too early for Eclipse.
Cheryl helped me out when I was worried about how to mislead.
"Eclipse. Iris and Muriel must have been thinking bad things. That's why I'm embarrassed."
"Really? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
"" Yes ""
I was scolded, so I apologized.
This solves the problem.
"Well, I'll check it out."
"No."
Iris puts his hands on Muriel's back and focuses his consciousness.
When Muriel was once the only being of consciousness, Iris discovered her using detective magic throughout the church.
Now I only use detective magic on Muriel's body.
As long as the range is narrow, the accuracy increases.
If you have something, you'll find it.
"…… Ah. Seriously."
"Bye!? It's so light!
Muriel jumped with Piong while saying goodbye.
Whatever it is, it's been a problem for her for 200 years.
I can't help but be surprised to jump because it only progressed with a little hands on my back.
"There's a technique that obviously feels like sealing...... wow, it's so harsh. I don't think I can disarm it."
"What!? Is there something Iris can't do?!?"
Now Cheryl jumped at Piong and was surprised.
"That's a lot of stuff."
"Well, I knew I couldn't talk to the first person I met and I couldn't wake up in the morning."
"… which means that even if we can't unseal the power of God, we can't help it."
"If you can't wake up in the morning, you don't seem to be able to lift the bond either."
Cheryl nodded with a "I see" face.
It was only because he convinced me of Iris' words, but Iris felt something unexplained.
"I'll try too -"
Iclipse put his hand on Muriel's back instead of Iris.
"Um, um... I can't. No. This is terrible. Who was this mean to Muriel?
I gave up and let go of my hand, and then swelled my cheeks with Eclipse Ham Soo.
I guess you're angry at the fact that some people intentionally sealed Muriel's power instead of regretting that he didn't have teeth in the junction.
"I don't know who it is... but the magic continues to flow through the ritual. It's coming from that direction."
Iris pointed.
Everyone stares at you.
So far I can only see the walls of the church, but that was the direction where Viscount Cunningham was located.
