Hikaru and the others went out of the indoor market. The breeze is shining, but many people go to the city because of the sun.

—— ————

As I walk, I hear something from across the street. It seemed to be a little square. A lot of passers-by stopped to look at you.

There was a man standing on a high stage.

A man in a grey monastic outfit, with no white lines on his sleeve. He was an understandably handsome man with a cool face, with short pruning green hair.

You're using a magic guide to make your voice louder, and even when you were away, that voice sounded clear.

'Saint Luzalka said: "Even if you feel superior to others, don't treat them. There is an endless possibility for people. Believe in God, and go down that path and you will be given protection". Eventually, a great deal of protection appeared in the village, hoping to hear more about Saint Luca and the saints, and it is said that he came to this Aghia Paul. It is said, however, that Saint Luca did not wish to come to Aguiar Paul. That's a lot of theories, because it's dangerous or because you want to spread the teachings, but here's what I think. Whatever difficulties awaited, the faithful would have gone for Aguiar Paul --'

Apparently they preach the Church's teachings.

Hikaru snaps as he asks what it is.

"... the teachings themselves are not done by God, are they? What the Church preaches is the story of the saints who believed in God"

Naturally, that was natural. In this world, "God" is a being that appears on a soul card and is not the person who can communicate with the will of what is confirmed.

(But it's strange... even though God doesn't speak, the dragon does. dragons are godsend, but I don't know God's will)

Kou is a dragon. The residence of the dragon —— when he was in heaven, he said he felt the presence of God close to him. But on this earth its presence is thin.

Similarly, they feel signs of evil on the ground.

Humans treat both holiness and evil.

"St. Luca's story is the most popular among believers after all"

"I prefer Natalia to Luzarka"

"Lavia is a maniac... St. Natalia's story isn't mostly about questioning someone who's changed"

"I think there is truth to that question." If God's will works in this world, is it God's will to take away my fruit? Then why does God rot the fruit? "

"And I can't believe you're interested in the words of the freak, not the story of Saint Natalia...!

Paula, daughter of the church, and Lavia, a book bug, are starting religious talks.

Hikaru hasn't read as many books as Lavia. Not to mention I don't think I need to read it any more if it is to be a book of religion. What you have to read is a book written about your knowledge of the "profession" that appears on your soul card and your knowledge of your magic tools. In other words, it is a utility book.

But looking at Lavia and Paula, who seem to enjoy it, makes me want to read the book and mix it up with the story myself --.

…………

That's when the handsome guy standing on stage saw this one. And I felt like I opened my eyes.

Then about 5 minutes later I finished my theory. This theory is what happens every day in Aguiar Paul, and indeed the story of Saint Luzarca was ups and downs and interesting.

In this city, saint stories are as common motifs in conversation as seasonal greetings, so you better get to know them. Those of you listening were pretty serious, and when you're done listening, you leave.

"I didn't expect the Knight of Luzalka to go into that kind of action."

"Knight of Luzarka, cool"

"Does Lavia like devotional men?

"Yeah. I like Hikaru"

They said it on a direct ball, so Hikaru accidentally made his mouth pound and said, "It's a treat," etc., while Paula smiled bitterly.

and then,

"Excuse me. Could you be, not Mr. Hikaru?

Looking back, there was a handsome man there who had preached earlier.

He knows my name —— Hikaru raised his alert level all at once, but the next moment, he lifted his alert.

This is his soulboard. Schuva-Bloomfield. Hikaru knows the name Bloomfield, and if you look closely, green hair, and a cool face, somewhere resemble her (...).

"In the middle of the theory, I heard a story about St. Natalia that had nothing to do with it, so I wondered what it was."

He heard about Lavia and Paula. It would be the business of "hearing" 3.

"Then I had you... and my sister used to write to me about Mr. Hikaru, the dark-haired, dark-eyed boy adventurer"

"Sister?"

Pretending not to know,

"Shuffi-Bloomfield. He's an adventurer who's throwing a party called Oriental Four Stars."

He was still Shufi's brother.

"Really? I have seen Mr. Shuffi several times. What did your sister say about me?

"... ahaha. Well, you're very intelligent and have insight that doesn't seem like a boy..."

I see, it even said "busty fucking kid with a snag," Hikaru thought.

"And to Mr. Lavia —— is this Paula (...)"

I'm here to talk to you.

Apparently, Shuffi told his brother about recovery magic, which is not Paula's usual interrogation.

Was it also because he had a brother that Schuffi recommended that the Hikars head to Aghia Paul? I can think enough of the fact that I hacked my brother into letting Paula into the church.

"It's an honor to meet you!

Hikaru stood in front of Paula as she approached him slightly and tried to hold Paula's hand.

Schuva realized Hikaru had swordswallowing eyes. In addition,

"Oh, that, that's okay. Because that's not what it is!

"What do you mean, 'it's not like that'?

"Um, it's people's freedom to go into church, and that's not what I can say. It's just that my sister... said to be a healing magic user who goes into her ten fingers even looking inside a church organization wrote about Paula as' the owner of a rare talent ', so I didn't think... I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable"

Schuva lowered her head with a pepper.

(Unlike my sister, you're an honest person. Whatever you think, you know I'm younger, but I'm polite)

Shufi is also an "honest" and "amazing woman" if you ask a lot of people, but from Hikaru's point of view, he's "the inexperienced one (next to the solution) who doesn't know what he's thinking".

"It is a great honor for Master Shufi to say that, but my place is by Master Hikaru"

Paula grinned and assured him. Schuva, who looked at it with a seemingly blinding eye,

"Sounds like it! Um, Mr. Hikaru. If you have any inconvenience with Aguiar Pole, please let me know. I'll do whatever I can!

I left when I said that.

I felt like that, like a refreshing breeze blew away.

I was wary at first, but when I finished, I had no negative impression on him at all.

"You're a monk... and you'll be courteous to me, the adventurer."

Classes by "color" are clarity in this country. The monks are the lowest, but the fact is that other humans - merchants, adventurers, etc. - are treated even further down.

In the "tower" the monks, which are used as good from red and blue, sometimes go out in front of the citizens.

Yet Schuva had no such treat -- as Saint Luca had been.

"Some of you are good, Master Hikaru!

"Somewhat better in this city."

You couldn't possibly not admit that.

The day after that -- a room in the "tower". "The Red Priest" nodded satisfactorily as he saw the luggage being carried to his room.

"No, I finally got here. From now on, 'Tower' is our home. There's no honor in this."

"Ha ha, you're absolutely right"

It is the "Ash Monastery" Gerop and his surroundings who are rubbing hands.

"By the way, I hear this room was vacant because the earlier priest lost legs--"

"Shh!"

In the words of Gerop, the priest sets his index finger.

"It's not something I rarely say. The priest traveled far away. As a result, there were not enough people in the Holy City to carry out missionary work, and this eagle was nominated brilliantly."

"Exactly!

"Watch your mouth."

"Yes, sir."

"I wish I knew —— but you brought some pretty good stuff"

The priest looks at a bookcase set on the wall —— a beautiful bookcase of wood.

"Hehe, it's already a... priestly celebration, so we've got the finest."

Everything that is being transported is a stopover from the gelop - that is, a bribe.

"Red Priest," he says in a slight manner, "Keep encouraging" and so on. The point is "more bribes".

"--Are the priests here?"

There was someone who came into the room.

"! This is Master Katina!

!?

It was the Pope's Senior Secretary, Katina, who came in shaking her blue hair. Gerop knew about her, but she doesn't really know her surroundings -- not ash, red or purple, so she seems to think she's an ordinary person.

"On your knees, idiot!

A gelop that drips its head off itself while letting it kneel around. One of the people closest to the supreme power, that's Katina. It is also present on the clouds.

"What have you done, Master Katina?"

The priest is also involved. Whatever the purple, I didn't expect Katina.

"Congratulations on your promotion to priest first"

"Thank you. This is also all in keeping with the heart of His Holiness the Pope…"

"I have one favor to ask you."

Block your mouth, Katina says. There's no way a priest can say no when he says "please".

"Why not? If this is what you can do, shatter the bones, whatever..."

"I want you to meet the adventurer."

As always, I won't let you say it to the end.

"Dark-haired, dark-eyed adventurer. His name is Hikaru. What I would ask you to do is to make him a part of this country —— that is, your pawn."
