"Senior Relius.... There are people who say they have business with seniors."

"Is it to me? Who is it?

"It's a woman."

"... what's your name?

"It was a woman."

I get Mr. Listina's jitty eyes.

I guess this will be made fun of again.

Just in time for work not so busy either. I checked with my father-in-law, and then I went to the receptionist.

Speaking of people who have business with me, it would be about Mr. Krua or Mr. Lineal.

When I went to the reception, there was a woman in a monastic outfit I was used to seeing - Mr. Lineal.

I noticed this one. She lifted one hand, according to which she was in a light condition.

"Long time no see."

"Long time no see"

"I'm here to tell you because the Bishop has set a day to see you. It'll only take four days, right?

Mr. Lineal had been informed in advance of the day off.

"Yes, I'll be fine that day"

"Okay. Then I'll tell him so. Because I'll be waiting at the church entrance that day. What time are you coming?

"... right. Is it okay at about 10: 00?

"Fine. I'll see you that day."

"Yes, please"

That's all Mr. Lineal left to say, and he raised one hand and left.

Can I see the bishop?

Will this solve a little mystery about the blacksmith as well?

When I headed to the dining room thinking about that, Mr. Listina was still looking at this one.

I'm not in the usual teasing condition.

"What is it? Are you so concerned about me and Mr. Lineal?

"Become!? Yes, no, it's not! What are you talking about?

I was a little concerned. When I spoke to Mr. Listina, she shook her head in a panic.

... what kind of reaction is that?

I just normally asked.

She looked at me with a slight stain on her cheek.

"... what is your relationship with the person you just spoke to?

He looked a little serious for some reason.

I've heard it to tease you, it doesn't seem like it.

"We used to hope to work on groundwater, didn't we?

"Uh, was it rat hunting?

"That's it. That's when we worked together."

"... you mean work buddies?

"Well, that's right. It's similar to Listina's."

"Really..."

Mr. Listina exhaled lightly.

I lost a little strength from my expression and loosened my mouth.

"I'm glad to hear that. I thought you had a girlfriend in your senior year!

"I'm not here, not now"

"Right! No, I was in a hurry to see if my senior had gotten me ahead of him. Yikes!

"Uh, so you looked so serious."

"That's right!

That's when my mother-in-law, who was working in the dining room, grinned and looked at this one.

"You're both still friends."

"Hey, we're not close...... Huh!

Listina speaks out in a panic.

At that time, a guest just walks in and takes a seat.

Listina dyed her cheeks a little and headed that way.

It was the day of my covenant with Mr. Lineal.

I brought it with me now to give Mr. Lineal the sword.

When I went to the church entrance, which is the meeting place, Mr. Lineal was already there.

"Morning."

"Good Morning"

"I'm going in from behind, follow me"

Mr. Lineal walks out and follows that back.

When shall I give you my sword?

Will it be packed if I give it to you now?

Would it be better after talking to the bishop?

With that in mind, I go in through the back door of the church.

Behind the church...... not the kind of place you usually see.

There are several grave markers lined up there. Just one of the sisters was taking care of it.

"Oh, linear.... with a man?

A woman has told me to tease along with a quiet voice.

"No, I brought him here on the orders of the bishop."

"Oh, you are. And the bishop, not the bishop?

"I know. Because when you stand in front of a bishop, you do it right."

"Be careful now, okay?

"Rika-yi"

I bow lightly too, then walk away in front of the woman.

I see the church. A short distance away there was something like a small cabin.

"That's because it's a dormitory where sisters and knights stay," Mr. Lineal told me.

I guess it's because I was watching.

They say knights are the main ones to use. You think it's your turn to stay over there and serve the night?

Walking in the garden, there were places to rest on the way or some benches, but it never happened that anyone was sitting there.

Through a door built to be embedded in the wall, into it.

Looking to his left, he saw the altar.

Never many, but I also saw people.

"I have business today because I'm over here"

It was on the right hand side that they took me.

There was a narrow passage and several rooms.

The deepest part of it - going there.

Is it the bishop's room? It was just a little more luxurious than the other doors.

After Mr. Lineal stops his leg, he knocks on the door.

Shortly after, I heard back and the door opened.

It was Sister who showed up, but I also saw an old man through the gap in the door.

I went in through the door and out into the hallway so that Sister would be replaced.

"Welcome, Mr. Relius, you've come a long way."

"... nice to meet you. Excuse me, you asked for my selfishness."

"No, never mind. I'll have Sister get us a drink right now, please wait a minute."

"No, it's okay."

"No, there was something I wanted to tell you."

Bishop smiling softly at.

Looks like someone warm, or something, while I think about it, I sit on the couch.

"Mr. Relius. You came here today to ask me about the blacksmith, right?

"... yeah, right. I heard the blacksmith was being treated unfairly, but the bishop stopped me from doing that. I was wondering if there was a reason."

"... right. I never know much either, but let me tell you as much as I can."

The door opened and Sister brought me a drink.

I listened to the words of the bishop as I put my mouth to it.
