Chapter 218
Fortunately, Ekaterina did not go first, so there was no friction between the saintess and the party who ran after her.
That doesn’t mean that a friendly atmosphere was created. Although my request for temporary neutrality, earnestly appealing for help in eradicating this cult, was accepted, most of them did not look favorably on the heretic judges of the Demonic Church, including the saintess.
yes most of it. In other words, there are people who responded more favorably than expected.
“Mmmmm. That’s right. He’s a good person.”
In a way, should I say it was natural? Assilie, who had already shown no objection to the fact that I was not showing any hostility, shook hands with the saintess with a smile on her face, though she might be satisfied with confirming that I was not a mad murderer mired in racism. did up to Sen welcomed him, saying that not only did he not have any prejudice against the Demonic Cult, but he also had an opportunity to talk with the Demons because of his crazy affinity that is unique to Fulling. Seneran began to turn on the light in his eyes, expecting that he would be able to hear the story about magic directly from the demons at this opportunity. It was an understandable reaction up to that point, but the last character was unexpected.
“Ahaha! I’m sorry about this! But from my point of view, I think it was the best choice, so please don’t be too offended!”
Ekaterina, a warrior of civilization, listened to my words and, without hesitation, patted the saintess on the shoulder and showed a kind attitude like a friend of ten years.
It was an intelligent person worthy of the name of a civilized warrior, but she was well aware of the level of average perception of the demons in this world, so her pompousness was quite an unexpected response.
On the contrary, Rellie was alarmed by her lack of distance and was about to warn her, but Ekatrina didn’t care at all.
“If you helped me with the explosion, and even used holy magic and helped me in battle, wouldn’t I be an ally at least now?”
“But they’re demons…”
“What about demons? Because they have horns on their heads? We’re people who believe that among our ancestors, dragons are mixed, so it’s not a big deal.”
Come to think of it, I heard that there is a dragon blood clan or something in Lovell. Perhaps, in her head, a thought in a very fragmented context was formed, saying that the dragon has horns, so isn’t that what it is?
“Above all, you saved the first explosion by blowing your body, right? If you took such an action even though it wasn’t a foreseeable situation, then you are a good person apart from your tribe.
oh my god. Soooooooo AWESOME. Ekaterina’s face, which is usually more like a cute and innocent face, looks so solemn and beautiful.
I almost gave you a standing ovation without realizing it. I hope the world sees and learns.
“My name is Deoni Bire. I am the heretic judge of the Demonic Church.”
The saintess, who briefly introduced herself after arranging opinions, seemed determined to hide the fact that she was a saintess. After explaining neatly that she had arrived here with her colleagues because there was a revelation to punish the devil worshipers who pretended to be demon gods, she naturally pointed to me for fighting together and asked for help.
Fortunately, my co-workers didn’t find it particularly suspicious. Perhaps because they are all adventurers, they showed a very generous response to the form of a friendly relationship after cooperation. Although Asilie was deaf and seemed to sense something strange, as soon as I agreed, she didn’t say much, and together with the others, she explored the dry corpses and abandoned dungeons, and took a seat to get something worthwhile. emptied
In the awkward silence created by the party leaving, this time I decided to go first.
“Then, now that I can put my mind at ease about the saintess and her friends… Now may I ask how the saintess can help me like Epaga said?”
They remained together in the name of helping the altar’s investigation on behalf of the heretic judges who were fainting, but anyway, that was just a pile of stones that had no meaning. It was a question asked indifferently, with the saintess holding the shield on her back and the heretic judges lying down casually, but the saintess didn’t get an answer right away, perhaps because the saintess had something in mind.
“Of course, I don’t mean to ask for help right away or make unreasonable demands.
In case she felt like I was pecking, I tried to add a word, but she still showed an attitude of organizing her thoughts, as if it had nothing to do with it.
“Epaga emphasized cooperation. There were many words that could not be conveyed after that because of the tight situation, but… You emphasized that more than anything else.”
The saintess, who turned her eyes to me as she laid the last heretic judge on her back, continued her words with an extremely calm attitude.
“I will judge you as a warrior that Epaga has foretold and will help you in every way.”
It was a bombshell statement to me, though.
I… A warrior?
It was the sound of a passing Siegfried bursting into laughter and hitting the ground. The saintess slowly shook her head and added an explanation, as if my thoughts were showing on her face.
“To be precise, it would be correct to judge it as an ‘existence equivalent to a hero’.”
“That… are you okay?”
“Well. It’s not like we’re not going to inform and support you as a hero to the entire Church, so wouldn’t it be okay? Helping you is only limited to my individual capabilities.”
According to the saintess, this revelation itself was so unusual and secret that it could not be found even in the records of the church. Even to her fellow heresy judges, she couldn’t explain properly and accompanied her almost forcibly, so it was her opinion that even if they actually wake up, there’s a high possibility that they won’t be able to make a public announcement.
Right now, I couldn’t believe that a human, starting with me, lived in a place that had nothing to do with the Demonic Church and even reincarnated under the direct protection of the Demonic God, so I could fully understand what she meant. In the end, while they were concocting appropriately the story to be told when they woke up, the saintess apologized with a very sorry expression.
“Even though I single-handedly defeated the demons, I don’t like having to embellish the word with the form that I helped. I’m sorry.”
“It’s all led by Epaga, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“…Have you had your intentions of becoming a demonic cult from the beginning?”
I answered with infinite sincerity, but it must have been a reaction that was difficult for the saintess to understand easily. I knew very well why her question, which seemed a bit absurd, popped out, so I shook my head and answered.
“I believed in God, but I didn’t know that it was Epaga-sama. If Epaga-sama didn’t say anything about this, I don’t have anything to say right now.”
If a guy who has lived his entire life in a country where their religion would never be preached suddenly converts as soon as he hears the name and message of God, it would be a strange situation for anyone to see. But no matter how much I am here, I am actually a person from another world, and I have had the experience of dying and being reborn, so I have no choice but to be loyal and loyal to Epaga. can’t you say
Most of all, even if Epaga directly spoke to me, the one around me who deserved to know that fact first was Asilie. Even if the saintess listens to my story and expresses full trust and faith, I cannot yield to that.
“Um. It’s okay. As you might guess, it’s a very… mysterious thing, so I casually asked.”
Fortunately, the saint kept her line.
After that, we exchanged several short conversations to get to know each other, and decided to take a look at the destroyed altar just in case until the heresy judges woke up. The first thing that came into our field of vision was something unidentified like a lump of red flesh.
As soon as I saw the unpleasant lump smaller than a fist resting on the pile of stones on which I had placed the devil’s head for the last time, the saintess said.
“It looks like this is a byproduct of the devil. I’ve only heard about it, but this is the first time I’ve actually seen it.”
“You’re a disgusting bastard from beginning to end to leave something like this behind.”
The saintess slightly opened her ax eye and shed her eyes, as if she didn’t like my sincere reaction and way of speaking.
“Is it okay to touch it carelessly?
“Yes? See that?”
“Yes. I can see it. I don’t know if it’s the blessing given by Epaga.”
Curiosity shone in the eyes of the saintess when she said it openly, thinking that there was no need to hide it, since she had to cooperate with God in the middle anyway.
Maybe this lady is also a person similar to Seneran…?
This saintess’s curiosity is extraordinary.
