The next morning...

Reports came up from Kirsch, who had requested an investigation, and from the Pi group.

The only person who came back to the last church cathedral was a lollymade golem that could transfer itself as “equipment” and as a piece of letters and goods.

She takes full advantage of the advantages of being a golem.

"Master Kirsch has been asked to continue his investigation in the Wang capital."

Pi tells me as she gives me a thick bunch of paper reports standing on the stage. She's been completely expressive lately, but she didn't move one eyebrow and her mouth was pale.

"Did you find out anything?

"Good news or bad news, which should I tell you from?

"So neither is good news."

"Yeah, in some cases it could be bad news and worse news"

I recommended a bench to her because she didn't like to stand up. but she shakes her head small, left and right, waiting for my response.

"Then please start with the good news"

Pi nodded cocklessly.

"I have no intention of invading Stella the Demon King. What's the big premise?

I see, if you're referring to Stella, Kirsch can't be present here. While I was convinced why Pi was back alone, I said, "Yes. Right," he returned affirmatively.

"As far as I can turn, from interviewing senior demons..."

"Wait. Did you run Random Destroy again?

Pi can even fly to places he has never been, as long as he has the buds of the Great Divine Tree.

We've cut off a raid on the senior demons in the vicinity.

"We just pressed for two choices: dialogue or violence to facilitate the provision of information. The other party just chose violence."

I wish you all the best of luck in your victimized advanced demonic tribe.

"But don't be too impotent. Because your toddler body is not for combat."

"Oh? Even if the primitive body itself remains the same, the operational efficiency has increased with the update, right? Ver.3_7564.217 is not Dade."

Is it like people learn to be strong?

"Whatever, it doesn't look like there were any major injuries, but don't be impotent. If anything happens to Pi, I or Mark 2... and more importantly, Nina, who cares about you as her sister, will be saddened."

Pi makes fun of me.

"Isn't it like taking hostages to convince you to give your senior or Lady Nina's name?

They don't include my worries in the hostages.

"Do you mind if we keep talking?

"Yeah, go ahead."

Loremade girl pinched her cough.

"Cohon… er, exercising strength… and gathering information from collaborators has shown that no senior Demon Nation or Demon King candidate anywhere has received anything like a convocation letter from the Demon King."

"Well, I don't even think we have the force to move for Mr. Stella where we put it out."

"Yes. The Demon King is in a state of drawback. And it turns out that in the forces of the Demons, there are no forces in the process of preparing for war so far. Anything, when he suddenly showed up, there was a golem that went wild and left. You think every force was thoroughly defensive because of caution instead of attacking other Demon King candidates? Sometimes it's scary."

That's you. The parties continued.

"Master Bereal protects you, but you have to keep the Castle of the Demon King tight."

"Well, there was this kind of incident where some lollymade golem came in single-handedly and attacked and destroyed."

Looks like Pi's behavior was atrophying other demonic forces, a random special attack to find Limrim's stronghold.

I pinched my jaw with my index finger and thumb and snapped my neck.

"By the way, weren't there rumors of the invasion of the Demon King's Army circulating to all the Demons? If you know that information, it's not surprising that you're preparing to take a ride and raise a soldier."

"Everywhere was as defensive as a tortoise with its hands and feet pulled in."

I broke through that defense and stormed it, and went back intact to report it.

"I see. That's the good news......"

"I can't say enough good things about the invasion of the Demon King's Army in that I didn't know anything about it... but at least it doesn't seem like a rumor that any other force has flushed, whether it's bluff or not."

Rumors that do not involve entities. Where the hell is the "Demon King's Army” that has been the source of the rumors?

Wasn't it just exaggerated by people's swollen anxiety, like a long tailing shadow at dusk?

"Tell us about the bad news"

"... Are you sure?

"You won't be wearing it any more."

Cochri and shook her neck vertically, and the toddler, Golem, dropped the tone of her voice and started talking.

"I went to a nearby village. There was no church there, and the sprouts of the Great Divine Tree were stuck outside the village. The villagers believed in the local gods, and the sprouts of the great god tree were feared as carrying disaster."

Pi is the self-delivery of disaster for the Demons.

"Can I help you?

"Please continue"

"The inhabitants of the village also knew about the senior demons and demon kings. It's just that the Demons have never attacked me. I hear the village has been spared the scourge of war because of its scarce resources and lack of strategic value."

"A people who do not trust the Great Divine Tree or the God of Light..."

"Yes, the demons and demon kings knew from those who left the village and returned, and there were demons in the vicinity. Yet they did not know that the Demon King's army would attack them."

"Wasn't it too much land on the border to be well informed?

Pi shakes her neck wide left and right.

"In a farther place than that, in another village with a church, the same fatigue as in the king's capital spread with rumors of invasion by the demon army."

"It doesn't seem by chance..."

Turning around a bunch of Pi's summarized materials, there was a map centered around Wang Du.

In villages isolated in unaffected mountains and in areas that rival or are independent of the Wang capital and center, such as their own religion, the impact of rumours is very slight or zero.

"The cause is in the church...... and?

"I do, I conclude."

The map of King's Capital on the next page further supported Loremade Golem's reasoning. This is mainly a compilation of the information Kirsch gathered in the back information network… but also in the restaurants, town shopkeepers, magician hospitals, etc. Unique to community-based backing operations.

In addition to spreading around the central and aristocratic districts of the cathedral, more and more people complained of fatigue around each church in the Wang Dynasty, and occasionally found that such voices were not raised in blank areas where the influence of the church was difficult.

"It's hard to believe."

"Do you doubt our investigation?

"Excuse me. Even though I'm a bad high priest, I'm a church-side person."

"The church could have spread the rumor."

Toddler Golem stared at my face.

"I have not been instructed to spread such rumors"

"That's right. If you knew, you wouldn't ask us to investigate in the first place."

Apparently, the suspicion cleared up.

"Have you not communicated this information to anyone else?

"To avoid confusion, Master Seiklid and I are the only ones who know. I asked Kirsch to gather information, but he didn't tell me about the results of the analysis. Well, there are some things that you can see and see, so you may reach your own conclusion from the information gathered."

If it was spread by the Church, is it by instructions of the Pontifical Agency that binds it - the Holy See of John?

Or maybe someone in the papal administration is pulling a thread in the back, in an awkward place on my sister.

"I will continue my investigation, too."

"Let me take care of this investigation report."

Not long after returning, Pi was “transferred” to the Wang capital through the buds of the Great Divine Tree.

Mark 2 of Kasayamako, left standing on the edge, repeats the weak bright extinction.

"You're worried about Pi. Sure, because I keep working without a break for a while. Tell her to rest the next time you get back. Your voice is better than mine, and Pi will lend you a proper ear."

The recording crystal that was caught in Kasayamako disappeared positively.

Right there.

Once again, through the buds of the Great Divine Tree, a report was brought by the Royal Palace that a day of sight had been set with Queen Claudia.

It could create a conflict between the Church and the Royal Palace. but I want to believe that Claudia would take this situation calmly.

I've become a lot weaker too when it comes to making hopeful observations.
