The plain and unnoticed me is no more

136 · First time to see the Grand Temple

The black fog, which seemed faint, disappeared so easily when purification was in mind.

I followed Irina up the stairs and walked through the large gates with angel statues standing beside me.

"Oh, did we arrive early?"

The people of the temple knew Irina would return, but there was no one at the entrance to greet her, and only the gatekeepers were there. I was a little nervous, and I felt a little shoulder-watered.

"Did you clap without anyone?

"Ah, no... I'm sorry. Did I look like that right now?

"A little. I secretly left, so I told him that it would be good to come back. If he hears that I'm coming back, he might hurt me."

"I see...."

"But even so, I thought there would be about one person to greet me. Everyone must be busy."

"Er... maybe you just kept your word.

"Fufu...."

That said, Irina came to the town church not for medical treatment, but because Sandra kicked her out.

If Irina, who was supposed to have kicked her out, finds out she's back in good health, she won't know what else to do. It would be better not to irritate Sandra until the cleansing is complete.

"Well, let's go to my room first. It's small, but there's a maid's room available, so please use it."

Yes, thank you very much.

"Then I explained the situation to the priest last night, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Ah...! Thank you very much. I should have talked to you myself..."

"I was surprised that you were mistaken for a boy at that time, and I was completely deceived. From now on, the priest will be on your side."

That's very comfortable.

I will go there again and again if I find out that there is a countryside to cheat on. At that time, it is very comforting that there are two people on the side of the temple who will be on our side.

Assuming that their prayers have been channelled to God, we can avoid the danger of being interrogated about who we are.

What jumped right through the entrance building was a pure white building, such as the Parthenon Temple itself, surrounded by lots of greenery.

Irina didn't say anything, but given the shape of the roof and the position it stands on, it is likely that it is the Grand Temple.

In fact, it seemed quite old compared to other buildings. I'm sure this high wall was built to protect this historically valuable building.

There is a very large pond between the entrance building and the Grand Temple, and the water is so beautiful that the stones laid on the bottom of the water can be seen through, and the blue of the water is so mysterious as if it reflected the color of the sky.

Although it was not clear from the outside, the grounds were unexpectedly green and various trees were planted around the Grand Shrine and pond.

But strangely, even though it's so green, I can't see the fairy at all. As Irina said, there are no fairies here.

And as we look sideways at the grand temple standing in the middle, we go straight down a long corridor built along the walls surrounding the site.

"What is it...? It's kind of noisy over there."

I can hear some people running around and talking loudly. Irina tried to clarify her ears and check the contents of the conversation, but she couldn't hear clearly.

"What building is on the other side?

It's the Virgin's residence.

Hiding in the trees, we can't see the whole picture, but on the opposite side of the wall where we're walking now, there's a square structure that looks like it's just been made.

I feel like I've retrofitted the corridor and forced a new building into a limited space.

"How do we get there? Looks like a dead end to the corridor.

"Looks like you can turn this corridor from the other side, but now you're at a dead end. They've partitioned everything around them with walls to isolate the building. Only the part that connects to the building we live in can be accessed."

"Does that mean... you've been under house arrest since the beginning without my instructions?

"No, there were no walls at first, so they were free to go in and out. I heard that it was her wish. They kept me locked up for a while and didn't see anyone, and at that time...."

Irina-sama pointed her finger at me and explained. Apparently, what I thought was a residence was a wall to hide it. I can go from the dwellings of the witches who are going, so I decided to ask them in detail later.

Turning left at the edge of the corridor, you'll find a wall made by Sandra in front of you and a large, double-open door in your right hand.

Irina opened the door and stopped moving.

I peek ahead to see what happened. The back of the door was dim and didn't look good, but someone stood there.
