More than a dozen days have passed since she began making active contact with the girl left behind by tissue destruction.
At least the girl is able to eat once or twice a day while monitoring Aldis. The slender figure at the first encounter was no longer felt fragile, and it had a healthy appearance so that the style of a town girl style fits comfortably.
One day, the strange and calm situation continued, and the calendar changed every month. Aldis went to a bar at an inn where he always waits for customers to buy information from the information store Cesare.
"Is it a good request for subjugation? Isn't it better to ask a person in the role of a face than an information store like me? Did you not associate with Jean?
Yuu, who wouldn't be thrown away by the town girls if he tilted his glass with a frightened face, asked Aldis with a suspicious look.
"I don't know if he would pay you so much because he doesn't help much."
"Even though I'm an information store, if I'm limited to subjugation information, the main role of the face role should be more detailed. Otherwise, the face role would not be a profession itself. Is it? "
"I was told" a little rest "
"A break? What is it?"
`` 'You've defeated the monsters around the royal city from one end, so your defeat request has decreased, and other mercenaries are eating up.' "
The moment he heard it, Cesare burst out with a laugh and shook his shoulder with one hand.
"Hey"
You, "No, I'm sorry. I didn't think that such lines would pop out of the mouth of the facial role. Even ',' which has been bothering you for years, has been defeated in just one day, because it's like other mercenaries are taking a job from the ground up. "
"I didn't mean that ..."
"Even if you don't intend to do so, if you keep defeating at your own pace, it's no wonder that the monster disappears first. It might be a good idea to take a tour of different countries on this occasion ... Oh, I think it's better not to go to Alban. "
"Why? Isn't it a bad reason to go to Alvern?"
Destruction "No detailed information has been entered yet, but apparently there was a political change in Alvern. It is a story that the king was killed and the corpse lord was king.
However, Cesare laughed at her smiling face, trying out Aldis.
"Alban is going to be rough in the future, so it might be just right to seek work."
"No, I don't feel like that now."
There is no doubt that a political change has taken place in Alvern, as Cesare says. If the king was killed, I don't think the situation would be any easier. If it were bad, it would be ok to involve the whole country and get into a civil war.
It's a chance for mercenaries like Aldis to get a chance. Indeed, if this story spreads, some mercenaries in the royal capital will have to move to Alban.
But for Aldis, who has twins, the options are worthless. With guidance from Minerva, it is difficult to leave the royal city on a yearly basis, regardless of whether it is a month or two.
Aldis thought so and cheated why he wouldn't feel right when he spoke. However, since it's Cesare, I guess Aldis's thoughts are out.
"That's right. I have some special information, why not buy it?"
Cesare himself probably did not really recommend Alban. Switch the story easily.
"What's special? How much?"
"Ten gold coins"
"... ten?"
It was an extraordinary amount of information fee.
Aldis, of course, knows that a man named Cesare is not an unreasonable person. At least he seems to be proud of his job as an information store, and he does the job worth the money. He wasn't reliable as a person, but trusted as an informant.
It is the information that he bid for ten gold coins. Perhaps it's worth it. After hesitation, Aldis put ten gold coins on the table.
"There are disturbing rumors about you, but to be exact, we're about to start."
Cesare cut out his speech with a serious look.
"Disturbing rumors?"
Anonymous "It's rumored that you have twins. You may even be a heretic or a pagan who becomes a goddess."
"... It's annoying."
"Well, it's true about twins, but the other one is hard to ignore."
Regardless of whether heresy or not, it's never wrong to avenge the goddess.
To begin with, Aldis did not believe in the goddess itself. No, it's not a fundamental belief or no belief. For Aldis, she is the most hated enemy and must be revenged.
"It seems like the rumor came from a church. To be precise, the cats in the church. In addition, the cats used by some nobles seem to be actively cooperating. Rumors will spread in the meantime. ''
"Church ..."
It is not a mysterious story in itself. Rubbing Aldis was sometimes a church since he was in Tria. She has a friendly personal relationship with Salte in the church of the royal capital, but it is largely due to her own personality. Cleverness Aldis knows that if they act on the surface alone and hide hostility, they will be able to avoid a collision. But the goddess' existence is unacceptable for Aldis to even be able to do so. It was good to say that in a sense the necessity of becoming a vicious atmosphere with the Father of the Fukumi the other day was in a sense.
"So what about the real thing?"
"Would rumor grow irresponsibly with a tail fin where the person himself denied?"
"Isn't that a denial?"
"If you believe in denying, you will deny as much as you want."
If there were any movements between the information agencies to make such rumors flow, it would be no different what Aldis said now.
Takashi It goes without saying that even a lie does not make you want to kill the goddess, and it is true that they hide their twins and avenge them. Of course, unlike the two, the pagans were completely dismissive.
"I see. I understand."
Did Cesare drop down unexpectedly, wondering if he felt something from the appearance of Aldis or whether it was impossible to extract information?
"Well, are you going to sell my information to the church?"
"No way. If you are going to do that, I will keep silent without saying this from the beginning. I wasted information that could originally be turned into one hundred coins and provided it with only ten coins. Can you feel it? "
"I say well. When I first met, I was really sneaking my hand behind the scenes. What kind of wind did you blow?"
When Aldis just arrived in the royal capital, Cesare had a criminal record that provokes stupid mercenaries to attack Aldis.
"Oh, that's good for that time, because I'm not stupid, because I've determined that it's better to be a good business partner than to turn you into an enemy. I'm not very proud of it, but I'd say that my intuition shouldn't break with you. ''
"Well, that's fine."
Aldiz looks down at Cesare's panicking face and lowers her.
"I'm grateful for the moment. I'll keep it quiet so that it doesn't stand out for the time being."
"Oh, yeah. Please don't come brilliantly during the daytime in the future. I'm sorry to be able to see churches and nobles."
"I know. I'm going to look like a face where there are eyes."
Marking decides how and when to contact each other, and Aldis sits. Cesare added as he remembered Aldis who was about to leave.
"I'll keep investigating the example."
"Because I don't expect much, start with ease."
"I can't do that. I'll take responsibility once I've undertaken."
Ardis admired that he was a man in a lawful place, and with a subtle bitter smile, left silently.
A room in a church in the royal capital. A young nun eats a middle-aged priest.
“Mr. Aldis is a benefactor who has helped me twice!
"Sister Salte, no matter how much you try to cover that man, the facts will not be overturned."
Sad: A priest with a distinctive Fukumia tells her to use a baby, while a nun called Sorte argues that she has no intention of listening.
"I and Aldis have been dating for five years. I know Aldis much better than the Father. Sure, sometimes I have no respect for the goddess, I'm not a plotter! "
"I also know that man four years ago. In retrospect, there were suspicious behaviors at that time. Instead of honoring the goddess, I was even turning to hostility. However, it is not surprising that the servant of the evil god is enemies of the goddess when he thinks about it now. I can't think of it unless you are a Muslim. "
"The reason we didn't pray in the prayer was that Aldis prioritized her daughter's escort, and that hiding her twins is just a snitch!"
Cormorant "Of course, I'm not looking at a snitch with me."
There is no guarantee that the symbolic church of the goddess will be able to recruit people solely because of illicit things such as snitching.
"And then-!"
Father Fukumi gives a brief explanation in the form of Solte's increasing shielding.
"We have received testimony from a church in Trier that there are mercenaries who have seen twins at the inn where he once stayed."
"It's too early to associate Aldis with the religious. It might just happen to be the same inn."
"And that's not all. I've been collecting information from all over the world and telling me. Even when that guy was in Tria, there was a rumor that he would hide his twins."
"Isn't it rumor!"
"The Lord Tria also told me that he was a dangerous person. He received information that he was hiding his twins and sent him under his scrutiny to report that he had been conceived and missed. "
"Huh, Hou Tria ...?"
Sorte puts surprise on his face.
"Lords, churches, mercenaries, citizens. All testimony reveals the same fact: that man hides the twins, the minions of the evil god."
"Such ..."
Rumors and snitching alone are no proof. Authenticity The testimony of a mysterious mercenary is not enough. But the story was different if the responsible man, the lord, became a witness.
Although less powerful and influential than kings, they are second only to kings and churches. If the lord, and the one in the Marquis, decides that it is dangerous, only a handful can disagree.
"Sisters Solte. Many know that you were close to that man. If you say something more like protecting that man, you can turn yourself to doubt No, think again about your position. "
"..."
Sorte was not silenced because she considered protection. I realized that I could no longer change this situation with my own power.
Evil "She will soon be recognized as a heresy in the name of the goddess"
"Heretic, certified ..."
Sorte exclaimed.
Then there would be no place in Aldis, or a country on the continent. The teachings of the goddess are deeply rooted not only in cities like the royal capital, but also in small villages on the outskirts.
It would be synonymous with a place where no one can live or where a church or goddess is not. Being heresy from the church had the same meaning as being expelled from human society.
Sorte is convinced that Aldis is not a religionist. Similarly, there will be a large number of Aldis's allies in the capital. As a hero who played a major role in the war against the Empire as a defeater of the three great devils, many people should know only by name.
But on the other hand, how many people are aware of life-size Aldis?
A reputation lifted on suspicious grounds, such as rumors and reputations, will fall to the earth on equally suspicious grounds. Most people believe it, even if it's a false fact. Even worse, if the church gives the endorsement of the heresy as a result of that misunderstanding, the result is hard to imagine.
Given the hardships that would fall upon Aldis, Sorte felt as if his eyes were dark.
