Volume 4 - Ch 4.1

Ellen and Falma were observing the cathedral when someone came outside. She was a devout believer and was often seen here. Ellen and Falma called her over.

If were talking about treason rather than betrayal, thats quite a severe crime. The punishment could be the death penalty or the forced closing of ones divine circuits

Its likely very serious, Ellen said again with a gloomy expression.

I think its probably my fault

Falma spoke haltingly as he confided his feelings.

Im going to return this staff to the cathedral. Solomon-san lent it to me, but I think they suspect that he lost it

But you cant use any other staffs, right? Isnt this just a waste of an opportunity? Wouldnt it be better to get permission to use it?

Ellen was reluctant to return something that was unusable. However, its hard to deny that this was similar to stealing from the Holy Kingdom.

I was able to use this through the generosity of Solomon-san, but I dont know the Holy Kingdom, so I dont think its right for me to keep using this. Ill return it and ask for Solomon-san to be released in exchange

Falma resolved himself and entered the cathedral of San Fleuve. The atmosphere was completely different from when Solomon was the head priest. Its dangerous to go alone, said Ellen as she followed him inside. When Falma stepped inside the cathedral, the floor lit up with a pale blueish-white color.

The cathedrals floor had detected Falmas divine power and the entire cathedral was turned into a sanctuary.

Eh-?

Ellen was speechless. She didnt think the cathedral would glow in response to Falmas power.

Isnt the cathedral amazing?

Well, if this is the case, youll be found even if you try to hide

It was Ellens first time seeing the cathedral react to Falma, so she was surprised. Ignoring her reaction, Falma looking around for the new head priest. Upon confirming that he wasnt in the chapel, Falma immediately headed towards the head priests office as Ellen followed. Light leaked out from behind the door to the office. The new head priest was inside. Falma raised his voice and called out.
