We were taken to the temple courtyard after we finished greeting the temple chief and it still took time to prepare our meals.
There's a pretty big pond there, and in the clear water is a giant aye, Darla's swimming figure.
I thought you were always on the ground because you were floating, but you were in a pond in the temple.
Ai was an image of living in the ocean, but you could live in a pond.
Friesia, who sees Dara, is shuddering as she jumps around the pond with piompion.
"Wow, that girl is Darla! It's huge!
"Looks strong. You're a temple, but you have demons."
"It's not a demon. Darla is a testodian."
"... well. I'm sorry."
When Ms. Irina glanced closer to Luna, she made her cheeks pull a little pully and she apologized.
I didn't know that Luna was under barometric pressure... it's a mine we stepped on, but you don't want Darla treated like a demon.
Then after playing a little darla, I was supposed to get the Freesiers to fly on my back.
"Knoll, keep an eye on Freesia so she doesn't fall."
"I'll take care of it. Friesia is a good girl, so you don't have to worry about it."
I'm asking you to keep an eye on me because I'm worried...
I handed the air shoes to Knoll once, so even if Freesia fell out of the noise, I should be able to deal with it.
With anxiety, I missed flying up into the air on Darla's back with Mr. Irina.
So the thread of tension broke after I entered the temple, and I sighed.
"Ha, it's nice to be thankful, but don't get tired when they say so much"
"That's amazing, especially against your brother. Not just that sister, but something that felt the same to my uncle. I wonder if everyone in the temple is?
"I guarded the temple of the faithful God. Well, no wonder."
Not just Mr. Irina, but I didn't think it was like that until the temple chief.
I hate to think everyone in the temple is like that... but I think we should get a treat and go home soon.
"Speaking of which, you're okay with the Luna and Friesia thing, right?
"Yeah, as far as your sister and the temple chief are concerned, I'm sure you'll be fine."
"There was no particularly suspicious gesture."
"What, you know what Sissha is like?"
"Isn't that natural, because you're a cleric? No matter how conscious you are to hide it, there will always be a specific movement somewhere."
You don't just know Estelle, you know what she's thinking from her opponent's behavior all the way to Sisha...
Knoll is rare, Friesia is a hell of a ear, and my party is too scary.
If you goo, the sleeping Luna is going to be the safest place to talk.
"Speaking of which, they asked me where I was from, but I guess that was it"
"You said you'd be happy. I don't know what you meant by that... but it didn't seem like a bad faith."
"There's a lot you don't know about Master Testudo, including this temple. Even if we think about it, we don't know what it meant."
Don't Estelle and the others know the truth of the story of the Temple Chief?
If it doesn't seem malicious, it's nothing wrong, but don't get me worried.
He continued talking to Estelle and the others as he watched Dalla flying in the sky and worried that Freesia would come down.
And after a while, Dara came back to the courtyard.
When I look at my back, Knoll is disappointed to suppress Freesia's body.
Oh, you're shaking and about to fall. That...
"It was amazing flying! I could see the view far away, and the wind was nice! I want to ride again!
"Um, I rarely feel good going out there. I want to try sleeping on the sky next."
"It was dangerous, but it sounds like we both had fun. Thank you, it is."
"I'm glad you seemed happy. Thanks, Darla."
When Miss Irina says so and strokes Darla, she shakes her chest tight to respond before diving into the pond.
"I'm sure your meal is ready, so I'll show you around."
Following Irina's lead, we entered the temple again.
Now we finally have a meal... Oh, is it decided to eat at the temple or something?
Speaking of which, I think Irina and the others were praying before dinner during the camp, even during the last escort request.
You might tell me before dinner, but do you want to hear it within the moment?
"Mr. Irina, do you have anything to do in this temple before you eat?
"Yes, before we eat, we offer our prayers to Master Testudo, who has also given us grace. But you don't have to do it today."
"Oh, is it a good idea to eat at the temple? Aren't you disrespectful to the Patron God?
"It would have been...... because we invited you here today. Besides, I can't ask those who guarded the shrine to do me that favor. Don't worry, the temple chief will not be present this time."
Irina has said that with a bitter smile.
Was it also meaningful that the temple chief didn't come to dinner this time because he cared about it in such a place?
Sure, when I'm going to eat with that great guy, I'm going to get nervous about bees.
But I can also draw attention to the fact that people in the temple care so much, but this one doesn't make pre-meal decisions.
"If so, may I pray as lightly as possible? Because it's also a bad idea not to thank you for a treat. Knoll and the others are good, right?
"That's right. We want to thank the patron gods and the temple people!
"Darla gave me a ride, and I'm gonna thank you too!
"Right. It's a little bit unnecessary to do anything because they say you don't have to."
"Hmm, I'll show you how grateful I am too."
"Isn't that a good thing to say for Mr. Ogura? Well, I was going to pray properly!
That's a good thing for me, huh? You're the same guy who's gonna say an extra word!
I thought I'd even say one of my complaints, but suddenly Mr. Irina came running up to me and I was so excited to grab my hands.
"Thank you, everyone! Again, as I thought, they are great people!
"Hey, Mr. Irina!
"Ah... su, sorry!
Ha, you returned it to me, Miss Irina took her hands off me as she blushed and distance herself from me.
Bit, I'm surprised... I've been like that before, but you're the one who's gonna hold my hand as soon as something happens.
Besides, why have you been holding my hand? I'm a little happy, to be honest.
Shortly after I thought so, I felt a silent fierce gaze from behind.
"Ah, come on, never mind! Come on, let's go!
"Yes. Let me show you how to get back together."
Without looking back, I urged Irina to continue guiding me.
... I think I've had more of these lately.
Then I followed Irina for a while and was finally led to a room that was my destination...... Gokuri and breathtaking the moment I entered.
In the center is a long desk with a white cloth, illuminating a chandelier that shines through the interior in seven colors.
The atmosphere was like a dinner party, overwhelmed by the fact that it was in front of a meal.
The Knolls are also surprised by the sight of the room, silently looking over except for Friesia, who shouts Warr.
I was led to a seat a little further away from each other so that it could be flushed, and I sat next to Estelle, and Knoll and the others sat in opposite seats opposite each other.
Shortly after we get to our seats, people come out of the back of the room and leave one meal at a time to their desks.
It's still just the temple in Harbor Town and looks like a lot of fish dishes. There's even a mysterious fish dish shining rainbow inside... but you won't serve anything you can't eat.
When the dishes are somewhat lined up, the temple people begin to line up to line up on both ends of the room, divided left and right.
With that in mind, Irina moved to the desk where we sat and bowed in a beautiful position.
"On behalf of the Temple Chief, I would like to greet you. Thank you very much for coming to the temple today. I thank all of you who have protected the temple in the service of Testudo."
The people in the temple who were lining up are also bowing their heads, as Mr. Irina said.
... Oh, is it just a meal that hasn't gotten very supine?
Her spine was freaking out at the sight of anxiety, but even more, Ms. Irina has hung up on her chase.
"We didn't plan to pray before meals this time, but it was carried at the favor of Ogura. I can't thank you enough for the overlapping mercy. Thank you very, very much."
Ooh! And the people of the temple are standing up and looking at us with their hot eyes.
Shit, this is what sucks... I have a bad vibe I can't speak of!
Even Mr. Estelle, next door, is pulling a little or bluishing his face.
"Now, this time it's abbreviated, but I'd like to finish my greeting and move on to prayer"
It changed after hitting earlier, and all quietly began to pray with their hands together.
While I'm confused by the sudden changes, I'll see. Hands in hand with imitation, for now, I'll be grateful.
And now that I'm done saying hello, I finally started eating.
I'm already getting tired of just eating rice... oh, but this fish is delicious.
The fish dishes at the store I ate in town were delicious, but this one tasted refreshing and elegant.
As I was pounding my tongue on the temple dishes, Mr. Irina came next to me.
"Did it fit your mouth?
"Ah, yes. It's delicious."
"Yeah, it's delicious."
"Good. Mr. Okura and the others are coming today, so you've been hanging out."
"Gentlemen, is that so? It was also when I said hello earlier, but all the people in the temple are like that...... What?
The atmosphere was amazing when I said hello earlier. It was like I was being believed.
I don't think there are all the Temple people here, but I'd be scared if it was like that until the others.
That's what I thought and asked horribly...... the reality was extraordinary.
"Yes, when I talked about Mr. Ogura and the others, you all looked impressed.... inconvenience, was it?
"Ah... yes, no, that's not true"
"Is it true! Thanks!
Guh, if such a cute guy asks you with such an anxious look, you can't say it's annoying......
Irina was smiling in my reply, but instead Estelle, next door, swelled her cheeks dissatisfied and opened her mouth.
"You sisters are really enthusiastic. Do you believe so much in Master Testood?
"Of course. We are not the only ones who grew up in Seville, and most of them worship Testudo."
"After all, is it because people in this town often experience the protection of the patron saint?
"There's that, too, because many of you come to the temple with your whole family. Those who have been involved in the temple since a very young age are particularly faithful. Besides, those who actually see the gods will realize that Master Testudo is watching over us all the time."
Hmm, there's a difference in degrees between people growing up in Severia, but do you mean most people believe in Master Testudo?
"If it exists so much, is it still somewhere? You've never actually seen it?
"... unfortunately I don't know, the last time I was descended about 500 years ago, I was hidden. Heritage tells us you were headed off to a remote island off the coast of Severia."
500 years ago, you did tell me you fought the demon man who came to this town.
Does hiding mean you haven't shown up since?
And Kojima in the direction of its patron saint disappearing...... I care.
"Is there something about that island?
"People don't live there, so nothing in particular. However, we are not allowed to build the temple because Master Testudo is in the direction of his last journey. As the last place of the pilgrimage, you will pray in the temple."
I thought it might be something awesome, but nothing.
I thought you might have a labyrinth or a special demon because you said you were on your way to the patron saint.
"Why don't you come and pray for me once, too, Okura-san? Master Testudo will be delighted."
"Uh, we're busy as adventurers, too, so I don't know, but I'll think about it as soon as I plan."
"Really? I'd be happy to consider it positively."
Ugh, honestly, I'm getting more and more scared to get involved with the temple thing, but I still can't say no when Irina smiles at me.
But I felt so much gaze from Estelle sitting next to me that I didn't have to tell her I was going.
With a sigh of ho, now Mr. Irina starts pouring clear liquid into the cup with the bottle placed at her desk in her hand.
And he poured some, and then he offered it to me.... this smell, booze?
"Okura-san, would you like to drink this one if you don't mind?
"Alcohol, right?
"Yes, it's a well-liked alcohol in Severia. I was hoping you could taste it."
I only drink to the extent of my relationship with Sisha, but I was recommended because of it, so why don't you just drink a little?
... Yeah, light and easy to drink. I know I might have been a little tough before, but it sounds like you're getting used to it within sissy hah and drinking.
"It's easy to drink and delicious"
"I'm glad you liked it. Drink more."
"Hey, sorry about that"
Upon finishing the drink, Mr. Irina immediately offered an empty cup.
No, my face is going to get nasty when I get a pour from such a pretty woman.
With that in mind, Estelle has spoken with a slightly stronger voice.
"Brother, keep it as much as you want. It's hard to get home when you're drunk."
"Rest assured. If that happens, you can rest in a separate room. You can stay at the temple."
"Oh, you're ready. But I'm gonna annoy your sisters. Hey, brother."
"Ah, oh. Because of that, but I won't."
"Really..."
Until just now, the floating mood blew away at the power of Mr. Estelle, who was smiling but whose eyes were not smiling.
Yeah, you can't stay on track. I was hoping I could get Sissha to cure me even if I was drunk, but let's keep it as low as we can.
Reflecting so much, I heard Knoll's floating voice.
When I look at it, I see the sight of a temple person carrying a meal in a hurry, as I did when I went to the store before this.
"Well, unlike the shop's, the temple dishes are delicious."
"Nor, you eat a lot and it's amazing! I'll eat more too!
Knoll seemed happy, yet flattened his meal on a plate with Pak Pak.
You're still gaining momentum, and your bones are still chewing up. It's like a beast.
Like competing with such a knoll, he eats molly all the way to Freesia and inflates his cheeks.
Seeing the sight, Mr. Irina had a drawn grin.
"No, Mr. Knoll's going to be a great eater."
"Sorry...... I told you to keep about it"
"It's a knoll. I can't help it."
Totally, I told you to shy away a little before you came to the temple.... Well, I think you're reluctant to do that.
I was so shuddered with Estelle, but now suddenly something came to me from behind.
"Guh!?
His breath leaked into too many shocks, but right after that, a monumental feeling is transmitted to his spine.
Hey, what!? Something very soft is hitting me!
I couldn't even move because I was held back to look back, but soon I heard a sloppy voice.
"Oh Kurasa! Are you drinking!
This is Sissy Ha! I mean... you've been hitting me since just now... hey!?
"I'm hitting it! He said it was a hit! Get away!"
"Ugh, are you hitting the nani -"
Shake your body left and right with Gyghui, but Sisha will not leave with an even stronger force to hold you.
Irina, who was watching that next door, raised her voice of surprise.
"And, Mr. Sisha!? What's wrong!
"You're totally drunk... when did you get here?"
Sissha finally left me, exposed to Mr. Estelle's gaze.
Turning around and looking at his face, he is making his cheeks red and his mouth sluggish and half open.
This guy just drunk what Irina recommended...
I thought I'd say something, but before that, Sissha opened her mouth and blocked her.
"At all, I cheat talking to Irina and Estelle all the time. Me, too."
"You had no choice because you were away. Sorry for all the consideration you've given me."
"It was me who didn't care that much. Mr. Sissha, please take this seat."
"No, uh, I don't mind. I'm just here to tease you."
Saying so, with his hands wide open with Boone, Sissha gently returned to her seat.
... What the hell was that?
●
We ended up finishing our meal with nothing after that, and we followed the temple while Irina and the others dropped us off.
I was dropped off by a bunch of temple people on my way home, and my back's starting to creep up.
"Hmm, I ate a lot of it. It was delicious."
"Ugh... my stomach hurts... Why are you eating so much and Nor is fine..."
"Because I can't and I eat. This is why Ponkotsuelf is in trouble."
Knoll is happily slapping his pompous belly, but Friesia is saying hee-hee as he seems to suffer.
Luna was frightened as she stared at the condition with her jito eyes.
Looks like Knoll and I enjoyed our meal while we were talking.
"Phew, you're done with nothing in particular. I knew Estelle and the others were just too worried."
"Do you really think so, brother?
"Absolutely, because this guy is really full of gaps."
Estelle and Sissha were staring at me with a frightened eye.
Oh, sure, it was a lot, but it didn't matter, did it?
"I was only a little suspicious of that sister around recommending alcohol."
"Right. That alcohol was easy to drink, too, but it was a pretty strong thing. If you were Okura-san... you'd be pretty drunk with about 3 cups?
"What, were you that strong?
It was easy to drink, but it didn't seem that strong.
But if the alcoholic sommeliere Sissha says so, it doesn't seem to be a mistake.
I didn't know they were drinking that stuff... but it's a favorite liquor in Severia, so it's a chance...
"It seemed like I spoke up and I was completely alert after Sisha came once. I wonder what would have happened if it had been just your brother."
"There was no such thing as a forceful solicitation, but you might want to be careful when you relate to the temples. In many ways, we need to pay particular attention to Irina."
Um, did the Sisha and the others say so far mean that they were still after something?
Sissha got drunk and hugged, too, something she did to deflect her aim... what is it?
I'm glad you're safe this time, but I'll be careful when I get a chance to get involved in the future.
