The plain and unnoticed me is no more

137. Where is the Virgin?

The man across the door exhaled a breath of relief. If you look closely, it also looks like you were looking out for us.

"Good, Irina-sama... please turn back here. It's dangerous to go there now."

Standing in the dim hallway was Huey, a boy priest who met him at a church in town. When I first saw him, he looked like a mummy, and now he's fully recovered and back to normal.

Face to face has been around since that time, but I felt very well and relieved.

But something is wrong. Irina was worried about him and asked why he was stopping us here.

"Huey... did something happen in such a hurry?

"Yes, yes. Actually, the Virgin left the room alone and went missing."

"Missing...?

"I don't know what the details are, but the priests are looking for him. So stay hidden until they find you."

Irina listened to it and stopped at Huey, worrying more about the other witches here than about herself.

"Where are the witches now? Is everyone all right?

"It's okay! After hearing Evo's news, the witches are hiding in one room so they don't face the Virgin."

"... yes. That's fine... but why are you here when you can't face him...?

"I was also instructed to hide, but I thought it was time for Irina and the others to arrive... and I couldn't stand still thinking that I would bowl with the Virgin somewhere without knowing anything."

In my current words, I realized that it wasn't because of my mind that he looked alert earlier, but because I thought it was Sandra who opened the door.

Irina lowered her eyebrows in trouble and gently embarrassed Huey, who had come here without worrying about her own danger.

"Thank you, Huey. But from now on, your priority is to protect yourself. If anything happens to you, I will, of course, make everyone sad."

"... yes"

Huey replied with Jesus, but his eyes said no.

I'm sure he needed a lot of courage to come alone, because he had such a nasty feeling about Sandra's involvement that he was going to die even more. He still wanted to protect Irina, who knew the same suffering, even though he had the possibility to bowl with Sandra by the time he got here.

"Huey, you go to the gateman and tell him not to go outside, no matter who comes. And you wait there."

"It doesn't matter... aren't Irina and the others with you?

"We will return to the priest. I'll pick you up as soon as I find the Virgin, so go quickly."

Huey looked dissatisfied, but he nodded and walked. He looks back many times and looks at us worriedly. I took off my costume glasses and smiled at him that he was okay.

"Huey, I'll protect Irina, so you don't have to worry so much. Now I will purify the evil that is in the Virgin, as I purified the evil that was in you."

"Is that...? That voice... you were the angel of that time...!

Huey wouldn't look at us until I called, even though he was behind Irina all the time. I saw my face for the first time at this time whether my disgust towards women was still wiped out.

And he immediately realized that I was the same person as the healer who was dressed as a maid, and he put his hand on his chest and lowered his head to me.

What did Irina say about me after that? I was supposed to be an angel for some reason, and I wanted to correct it differently, but now I can't afford to, so I left in silence.

Having broken up with Huey, we head to the Virgin's residence in question. I'm sure the priest will be there now. The sounds of the two shoes, which naturally became fast feet, echoed in the hallway and beat faster accordingly.

This is an unexpected development.

I try to calm down a little and ask Irina what I was worried about earlier.

"Irina, do you recognize the Virgin as a danger among priests and witches?

"I see. I don't think I can help it now. One witch is dead."

There was a priest right around the corner, and they were trying hard to find Sandra.

Irina called out to the clergyman who was the most struggling of them.

Evo.

"Ah...! Irina! Welcome back."

"The Virgin is gone. Looking for this number of people still can't find it?

Yes, that's...

Irina was not an adult priest, but a priest named Evo, who still seemed to be a boy, started asking about the situation. Speaking of which, it's only natural that he's in charge of Sandra, so he knows the situation best.

I was looking around listening to the conversation right away. Then I saw a familiar ball of light flying somewhere.
