We were on our way to the Temple of Testood early in the morning the day after we reported the anomaly on Lake Richnal to the association.

To return the found goddess of Testudo and to listen to him go to a remote island.

I'm here today as an adventurer, so the Lunas haven't brought me here.

"We're busy these days going to the temple as soon as we're done with the request. Thanks to you, the demon stone collection is neglected."

"I don't have a choice. When you calm down, let's do a full collection of Demon Stones. Wouldn't you?

"Sissha's always fine. But didn't the mass outbreak of Crocodiles earn you some demon stones? Look, it was a gigantic, rare species, wasn't it?

"Oh, I guess I made about 40 in that instant. About 1 Freesia."

"I'm going to stop you from using Freesia as a unit of demon stone..."

The last item, Gacha, had cut 1000 Demon Stones, but after watching his spare time, he did a little Demon Stone hunting and gathered up to about 1300.

There are some minutes sent by Dius and the others, and in addition to that, it is significant that a large number of rare species were also hunted in the recent mass outbreak.

I still want to collect it, but it helps that I am saving a few that are reassuring for once.

... If you can intentionally cause a mass outbreak of that demon, even though you can collect all the demon stones you want in an instant... let's stop thinking about such a noise.

"Well, if you're collecting demon stones, we'll have to solve just Severian anomalies in the future. Come on, I'm gonna find out who's causing all this trouble."

"Right. Something you can tell the uncle of the president of the association later and leave it to the A-rank adventurer, as long as you get the identity of the mastermind or the equivalent information here"

"We've solved a lot of problems, but we're still in B-rank. It's getting heavy."

"That's right. It's becoming more important, and the A-rank Adventurer Party is likely to take the lead and embark on a solution to the anomaly."

I wanted to solve the anomaly as much as possible, but I don't know because it's getting bigger and bigger.

It would be helpful if A-rank adventurers acted first, not us, as Knoll said.

Ideally, we should work together in a complementary fashion.

Walking down the white road as we talked about it, I finally saw the temple.

At the entrance, a familiar purple-haired woman, Irina, is sweeping the ground with a swing.

I dusted a little when I saw her cleaning so hard, but she noticed us, too. When I looked at her, she put down her chin and approached me on a small run.

"Mr. Ogura! You're here again!

"Duh, thanks..."

Mr. Irina took my hand first and gave me a soft grin.

Guh, if I could stare at you with that grin straight from the front like this, I'd be lit. Then - hey, I have chills!?

Feeling a strong gaze from behind me, I looked back, and Mr. Estelle and Sisha, with a dazzling smile, were staring at me jeezy.

He squeezes his hand and squeezes his face, which was about to nibble, and asks him to let go and face Mr. Irina again.

"Thank you for wanting Sisha and the others!... That's not those kids with you today, is it?

"Yes, actually, I wanted to ask you something about the strange tangles that have been happening around Severia lately, and I asked you here today as an adventurer"

"Is it about the anomaly... that something related to the temple has happened?

"Yeah, it's very important. Maybe we'll talk to the temple chief's uncle."

"Is it also to the temple chief... If Ogura and the others say that much, then how important is it? Okay, I'd like to talk to you, so please come inside."

"Thank you. I'm sorry I came all of a sudden without contacting you beforehand."

"No, this is a story that cannot be left unscathed when the temple is also involved. I'd like to thank you for coming here."

Irina took us into the temple and took us to the guest room.

"He said it had something to do with the temple, but what the hell kind of anomaly happened?... Ha! Testood temple attacked again!?

"No, the temple wasn't attacked this time."

"Oh, did... good"

"I noticed the last shrine, so if the shrine was attacked, wouldn't your sisters notice?

"... as we talked about the other day, that temple is a central location as a relay point with the temple. So we were both able to detect an anomaly. There are a number of other monasteries that we can detect, but we can't immediately grasp the anomalies in all of them."

I see, even if only important places can be detected, do you not know where else?

But he says he won't know soon enough, so I guess that means he'll know after time.

All right, let's also ask about remote islands.

"By the way, do you have any idea what it is regarding the remote island of the example?

"... No, there's nothing we can figure out together. That place is treated like a sanctuary, so as much as possible we are not hands on it either. Even if not, the island is special, and it's not a place where demons can be reached by people who don't know them at all."

"Does that still mean that the power of that patron saint is working?

"We both believe so. So it's awe-inspiring to interfere on that island, and we just set it as a sanctuary for prayer."

Um, does that mean you want to keep it that way because it's a sanctuary?

Besides, based on Irina's condition, it looks like there's something special going on with the island and nothing unusual has happened so far.

Well, let's just say we change the story.

"In the meantime, this is about our visit to the temple, but look at this first."

I found a palm-sized testodo-like body on Lake Richnal on my desk.

The moment she sees it, Ms. Irina opens her eyes and turns to a surprise look.

"... Huh? Are you kidding me... God of Testudo!? Why, why do you have it! Where, when and how the hell did you get it!

Riding herself out with a bang on her desk, Mr. Irina screamed out with her eyes open and close to my eyes and nose tip.

Shit, you look a little crazy!

"Oh, calm down! Is it a coincidence that we just picked it up under certain circumstances..."

"Oh, yeah. I came here to talk to you because I found it in this anomaly and realized that Sissha was a god."

"I thought you were a gentleman, but you're a little scared..."

"If we find the Patron God's Divine Body, which is the object of faith, we can't help but do this.... as far as I'm concerned, I'm more afraid of this aftermath."

I didn't think you'd be so excited just to show your god.

Even Mr. Estelle is making me pull my face and sweat cold.

I'm going to have to tell you that this god was being used... but I'm afraid to tell you when I see this.

"Also, I'm sorry. I got disturbed by it. Uh, this is your god, but may I keep it with you?

"Yes, I brought it to confirm and give back."

"Thank you! Thanks! How can I thank you for returning not only the salvation of the temple but also to your Divine Body... Thank you so much, Ogura!

Irina walked out of the room once when she held the body she had placed on her desk with both hands.

I guess it was just the god and I wanted to keep it in the temple right away.

A little while later Ms. Irina came back and opened her mouth looking at me with a serious face.

"So... where the hell did you find Master Testudo's god? What does it have to do with the anomaly that it happened this time?

"That's what happens. This time, we went to a place called Lake Richnal, where the demons were confirmed, and we came across a massive outbreak of demons, and we found an earlier god."

"Really? But why is it that Master Testood's divine body is in Lake Richnal... and there is a massive outbreak of demons? Under what circumstances did that happen?"

Now, I have to explain that I was being used by your god... but I'm so scared.

He was accidentally pounded on the shoulder as he silenced Irina forward, who was tilting her neck and doing a cute trick.

Turning around, it's Sissha, gesturing to goodjob with her thumb and leave it to me.

Oh, it's a boulder cisha. You've been taking care of something lately, and you're a really dependable guy!

"I will tell you the rest from me. Mr. Irina, please calm down and listen. Let me conclude by saying that the Patron God's Divine Body was used in this mass outbreak of demons."

"... Using your Divine Body?

"Yes, it was used to generate demons around your deity, whether negative forces were imparted by someone."

Suddenly he's stepping through a mine! Why would you say that to a direct ball?

If I were to say farther away, Irina would go mad if I didn't take the stage......

Looking at her reaction, fearful as she was so anxious, her pupils were solidified without blinking as they opened.

Thanks......? The next moment I thought, Mr. Irina stood up in an odd voice with her face bright red and her whole body trembling.

"Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! I wonder where and which one of you did that!

Dandan and I are stepping on the floor with our feet, holding our heads down with both hands, swinging around and going left and right.

Hii!? I can't believe this is happening!

You've got so much fear in your reaction, so much so that Estelle sitting next to you has leaned against me.

He leans toward Estelle with a small scream from Hii to Knoll.

And Sissha, who is the culprit of Irina, looks at her and says she did it with her tongue out.

Mr. Irina's frenzy lasted for a while, but she finally healed as she exhaled with her shoulders whether she was bursting tired or not.

"Ha... ha... If we don't find him now and give him divine punishment, we have to give him. Master Okura, where is the person who did it now?

"Ah... uh, I don't know"

"I don't know. No, no, no!? How can you not know? Huh!

"I'm sorry. No, no! Forgive me!

Mr. Irina grabbed me on both shoulders with her eyes open and rocked me hard back and forth.

Hih!? I need your help! Oh, my God, this guy! Tell me what to do!

Suddenly she raised her voice as she couldn't move in fear of Mr. Irina in front of her.

"Ah."

When she trembled and cramped her whole body for a moment, Ms. Irina sat on the couch as quiet as a lie as she had just been.

Suddenly bewildered, at some point Sissha was standing up and moving behind her and laying her hand on her shoulder.

"I told you to calm down and listen."

"Oh, you sank that mess in an instant. How the hell did you do that?

"Ugh, I have a little bump. Restore this area. Poke gritty as you wrap magic around it. This should keep your mind calm no matter what you hear for a while."

"You only know clerics and strange moves. Now I can feel free to talk to you."

What the hell is a bump that stops someone who was so freaked out... you're still a guy with skills you're not sure about.

Thanks to you, though.... that, but the original cause isn't Sisha!

"Sorry, I think I messed up again..."

"Yes, no, I'm glad you seem calm"

Faith is horrible that Irina, who was so grown up, would be so confused.

She seemed totally calm, so we resumed the conversation.

"Sister, that god could have been stolen from the last shrine. Is what was originally worshipped over there the same size as what you brought?

"No, it was stolen... that's why you didn't feel anything when you searched for the temple... It was originally worshipped there, but it was about the same size as it was worshipped again."

"That means you can still assume that the killer has the remainder of your body. The same thing could still happen."

"Oh, same no, something like that... ah, ah"

Mr. Irina's cheeks started to crack and the words started to get suspicious, but as soon as Sisha, who had left her hand on her shoulder, gritted again, she returned to her original expression.

Don't get scared in a way that you're passing awesome when you get here.

Back in her sanity, Irina has asked me questions in such a way as to be afraid.

"It's someone who used your divine body, but do you really not understand?

"I don't know at the moment. But I might have a clue. I know where it is. We talked a little bit earlier, but that's an example of a remote island. So I want you to take us to that island."

I tried to tell you about the remote island that was the real deal here, but Mr. Irina starts talking like a frown hissing and screaming.

"No... that can't be! Because there's no way a malicious man can get close to that island!

"What kind of a place is that remote island to say all that?

"You just said it was a special place, but wouldn't a flying demon be able to go?

"Even if we could fly, we shouldn't be able to get close to that island. Similar forces to the protection of the temple work on that island. Besides, there's always a thick mist all around us, and we don't know where the island is unless we're together. Besides, the island is moving regularly."

"Is the island moving?

"Yes, within a certain range, but the position of the island changes. If it wasn't for us serving Master Testudo, we wouldn't know exactly where we were. So it shouldn't be possible for anyone with malice to get close to that island."

Sounds like a more special island than I imagined.

What do you mean, the position moves regularly in the first place?

Besides, when the fog gets thick, it really might not be possible to head to the island without Irina and the others.

Even if I went by boat, I'd be lost in that fog and I wouldn't even be able to make it home at worst.

Yes, I think so, and now Sisha has asked Irina a question.

"But didn't you think it would be impossible for malicious people to go inside about the temple in front of you?

"It's..."

"They seem like quite a doer, so I don't think you should swear it's impossible. If we're already on the island, it could be irrevocable if we stay like this? Given Lake Richnal's anomaly, there's a chance he did it to keep no one near him."

Listening to what Sisha and Estelle have to say, Mr. Irina becomes silent and nagging.

He was jiggy for a while as it was, but looked like he was determined to do something when he looked up.

"... I can't judge you by my presence, so I'm going to tell the Temple Chief and ask everyone in the Temple for their opinions. I'm sorry, could you give me one more time after lunch?

"Yes, I don't mind. Sorry to confuse you with a sudden story."

"No, I would like to thank Mr. Okura and the others for coming to think of us. I originally promised to take you to Kojima with Okura, and I'm going to appeal to you to leave soon."

Looks like Irina can't judge you by herself going off to Kojima.

We're going to have to leave this place to her to persuade the Temple people so they can get to the island.

Miss Irina dropped us off with a smile and we left the temple once.

"If you're Irina, let's go now! I thought you might say that, but that doesn't seem like a good reason."

"Even a special island was a story. Maybe even if we go, we need to get something ready. But I'm sure you'll manage to convince the Temple people from the way your sister did."

What the hell kind of place is that remote island if you can't get there without the people of the temple?

There's a thick fog and it moves to the position of the island, which is definitely not a normal island.

If we're going to get there, we're going to have to keep our heads down.

A little nervous air started flowing between us, but there Sissha started talking at her usual rate.

"Temples and churches aren't a single rock, either, so hey. I think someone's against taking us even if they say something might be going on on on the island."

"Hum, it's hard to be a temple, too. How can you persuade Sisha if she is in the same position?

"Ugh, let me physically persuade you. And I just wanted to say that the church where I was was used to paying back, so it's something that doesn't work in the world."

"I'd like to go into a lot of things, but was there someone in Sisha who would also come back..."

How the hell is a church a bunch of bad guys going to be physically persuaded...

Besides, there's someone who can repel that Sisha, a church or a gathering of residents of the world of Shura?

I don't feel like I could come back alive if I went to church like that.

"And the bump push that made Mr. Irina grow up was amazing. Are there any other bumps?

"Yes, there's a lot going on. That's right, for example, when you press this bump, you forget tiredness and temporarily get better."

That being said, the moment Sisha gently touched my arms, the feeling of the current running spread all over my body and my body stiff.

"Ascension - or my body..."

"Is that it? Is that a mistake?"

"Don't be ridiculous! Just fix it!

"You have a horrible bump..."

"You can't play with two people anymore."

And when Sissha pushed her bump out of her tongue, the stiffness earlier ceased to be like a lie.

Totally, give me a break about stiffening my whole body by mistake...... but thanks to you I feel a little soothed in the air I was nervous about.
