So labeled soul board.62 years old —— I got the impression that the way I talked so far was pretty old, but I felt surprisingly young. Either you're old or you dare pretend to be old.

Unken, the master of the Adventurer Guild where "Intuition" was 4, was also wary of Hikaru, who activated the Soulboard. I perceived some reaction. If it's also "Intuition" 6, you'll see a lot of things that regular people can't feel.

And this name--.

"What's up? Aren't you coming in?"

Recommended by the old man, Hikaru nodded to Lavia, Paula to show them before -- "hiding" was lifted.

"I'm sorry to bother you"

"--Well, aren't you a child yet? I thought you were a veteran of some age."

The grinning old man urges Hikaru to sit on a chair that just cut the whole thickness as he passes through the laid huts rather. Hikaru and the others sit back there, the old man offers a cup with a missing edge. Thin tea lifted the hot air loosely.

"... old man, you seemed to know we were coming"

"Hmm. Before that —— is that lady in that superior monastic outfit a 'tower' person?

Asked by the old man, Paula,

"Yes, no. I grew up in church a while ago, and now I'm acting with Hikaru as a healing wizard."

"Hikaru —— well, are you Hikaru?"

"Yes. They are Lavia and Paula. They're both part of my journey."

"Hmm."

Deepening the wrinkles in his eyeballs, the old man nods sneerily.

"Drink before the tea cools. I dreamed you'd come."

"To a dream?

"I have a new encounter, and... I dream like this from time to time"

"Really? So you never dreamed of the death of Priest Scott-Faires, who was your colleague?

!?

Old man —— Gravy removes the cup with tea and the tea spills over the table.

"Yes, now, what..."

"Priest Scott is dead"

"Oh well... oh well... how lamentable..."

Standing up, old Gravy wanders around the cabin. Paula, who handkerchief out in the meantime, was wiping the table.

"Hikaru, Priest Scott, what..."

"Oh. He's the owner of the notebook I found. There it was written that Mr. Gravy, who was a 'red priest', was removed and became a 'ash monastery'. - Anyway, Mr. Gravy, who was supposed to be sent to the region, seemed to be doing an enlightenment in this slum."

"... How far do you know?

"You don't know much, do you?

Hikaru told him what he knew as he shrugged his shoulders--but most of them are notebook takers and sellers. The notebook itself was in Scott's will to give it to another priest, so I can't give it to Gravy here. Besides, I can't even tell you that I snuck into an underground laboratory because it explains Hikaru's abilities.

Scott and I worked out that he was an adventurer because of his "informant" relationship. Gravy seems to have honestly received Hikaru's explanation —— he hasn't tried to doubt Hikaru since the beginning. Maybe it's because of "dreams" and doing it.

"Mmm... I guess Priest Scott couldn't allow himself to be uncertain because he was a devout believer..."

"How did you get to Aguiar Paul?

"Washi knew about those who stuck out of this town. Don't you need someone to lead them"

"Isn't the act going to be against the will of the Lord of the 'Tower'?

"Be prepared... old. In a short life, I've lived in faith before. How can I change it now?"

Heavy readiness, Hikaru thought. The Church is trying to go in a strange direction when it comes to having people with so many thoughts.

He may look old to camouflage his identity.

"But how do you know my name?

"Well, it's like an idea."

"Survey...?

"--more like the theory you were talking about isn't what the church is spreading, though"

Hikaru says, Paula eats too.

"Yes! I've never heard anything like that."

"Hmm... are you a church believer too? What I know is what I was taught as a child. It has changed since the Pope's reign."

"The textbooks have changed?

"There are many incredible things about the formation of this world. I can tell you that it is the old textbooks, the current ones that have been interpreted by the Church, that describe the historical facts as they are."

Has the Pope today adapted his textbooks to hide something or to make the gaze of the faithful point elsewhere?

"Has it also been since I became the Pope today that I began to look for the 'Tenno Sentinel' profession for a moment?

"No, that wasn't long ago. To be precise, the predecessor Pope Holiness said he had invited people with 'Heavenly Noir' as guests to listen to various stories. It wasn't until now, under the Pope, that I began to surround myself like a bird."

"I see..."

The Pope today has a strong interest in "God" at the root of the formation of the world. Because "Heavenly Nope" is obviously a profession about "God" and "Dragon". The study of holy demon weapons and seals carried out underground may also have the same roots.

The question is, what are you trying to do (...) with that knowledge --.

(Doesn't sound like a lot of things)

Hikaru is speculating that

"So... Hikaru, how did Priest Scott die"

"I don't know the details. But it looks like we've dived into a research facility in the basement of the 'Tower'. If Priest Scott had survived, the magic guide running would have stopped running, and I learned of his death."

"… a research facility, or"

"Do you know Mr. Gravy too?"

"No... Instead, Priest Scott taught me something, but I only said to him, 'Better stay away'"

Then I talked to Gravy. Past textbooks are the best if you want to know about Gravy's known "teachings," which unfortunately are not here. He told me that the textbooks should be in the church library, but that they would only remain about the library of Aguiar Paul and the old country church.

"Hikaru. You guys are young...... don't stick your necks in too many dangerous things. People shouldn't live in Aguiar Paul in the first place. St. Luca, St. Beyond... all the other saints were special people with high magic. I tried to keep the faithful away from Aguiar Paul, but the faithful made the city because they wanted to live by the saints"

"Yes... what is it?

"This is a story only some of the Towers know..."

It is true that in the story of Saint Luzalka, the faithful wanted to follow Luzalka, but Luzalka said no to it. The faithful then end up following, but that has been replaced by a story that appeals to the depth of faith.

If St. Luca's intentions meant "stay away because it's dangerous" --.

Why, is it dangerous?

(Underground Magic Formation)

That's what bothers me.

"Well, it's time for you guys to go home. People will come here after breakfast."

"Yes, thank you for all your stories"

"I don't mind. As much as I want to talk more... I can feel the strange air coming from you guys. Precious, then, there are signs of innocence…"

Do you mean Koo, who is a dragon and close to God?

"Some people support me here, but I don't think it's long here either. Eventually this place may be exposed and driven away from the city"

"... ok. Well, good luck."

"Blessings on your future..."

Hikaru used "mass blockade" and left before Gravy with Lavia and Paula. Sometimes he tried to get the Hikars home early and didn't let others see him because this place is dangerous.

This settlement is home to those evicted from Aguiar Paul. Some of them have sinned and fled --.

"Brother, the soup here is delicious."

"Right. Maybe I'm glad you came."

On the way back to the city, I saw two brothers and sisters who seemed to be newly arrived. My brother seemed a little wounded, but he was fine himself. I don't know Hikaru that those two, who look like stray children, are the children who were witnessed and abused by Schuva.

Hikaru decides as he walks.

Faults in the underground cavity -- the "Blue Knight" went through the magic formation and dived. He was telling the Pope's secretary something like he fought a monster.

There is something beneath the magic formation.

To see what that is --.

(I have to dive)
