Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 195

Thanks to the uproar, there was a point that I had to point out before departure.

I summoned only Beleshka and asked a question while keeping a little distance from the campsite being cleaned up.

“How much do you know about this situation, Lady Belesica?”

“How far do you know…?”

“Did you know that you could be a saint?”

The Church of the Holy Light Cross usually builds a temple in the periphery and settles down. It is a tradition that originated from the mindset of a priest, that the capital and other large cities are already filled with the love of others, so that the teachings of God are preached in places that are not easily reached.

Then there are cases like Ogwen, where the village becomes a city and grows into a big city. The current Headquarters of the Holy Cross Society went through the same process and is located in the middle of a great metropolis.

But whatever the result, the fact remains that they basically build temples in remote places and spread their faith. And taking care of people, he breaks the heads of monsters and thieves in the name of God.

It’s not a metaphor, it’s really breaking. They are people who consider it their duty to protect places that are hard to reach by military power or adventurers, so they break without hesitation.

So, Shintoism is one of the many religions in the periphery. It has a strong perception that it is a religion of the powerless, supplements the lack of military power in the territory with almost free labor, and protects the well-being of the territory, so it is popular among poor nobles.

“There aren’t many branches of the Holy Light Cross in the east and south. I know that most of the Holy Light Cross in the south are cities involved in a war with the demons, so it’s not safe.”

I definitely remember it because it is the only religious facility in a place that I could call my hometown. If you are looking for the nearest Temple of the Holy Cross in parts of the south that have not been directly affected by the war, you will only find Ogwen at the western end.

“Did you find out that you were a saint, and in the process you were chased by them and were heading to Ogwen?”

Instead of answering right away, Velesica lowered her gaze. It’s like a child who’s been caught lying. Thanks to that, I was able to find out without having to listen to the answer.

Rather, it was a question that returned after that brief silence.

“How much do you know Sir Ega?”

“I know quite a bit. I know that Baron Berekt has no relatives. That he has only one child, and that his only grandchild is still an infant. Nevertheless, I have corrected my assumption that the young lady is Baron Berekt’s family. I know that I didn’t… Ogwen is in the process of expanding the city with the help of the capital, so I know that he can’t invite other nobles privately.”

It must have been because there were so many people throwing parties of luxury and pleasure with the money they gave to invest in the city.

It is a fact that I learned later, but it is said that it was for that reason that the camp was built outside the city when the escorts visited to take Ragnis. From the moment you are confirmed to be a noble, you cannot stay in any form of accommodation in the city except for visiting religious facilities and temporary visits? Thanks to that, Ragnis also said that he slept at the camp.

“…I thought it was strange that he didn’t ask for his last name even though he knew the etiquette.”

I don’t know if her parents educated her well or if Beleshka studied hard, but she doesn’t seem to have a bad head. Belessica, who was squatting while holding her hands as if she was nervous, slowly opened her mouth.

“I apologize for not being able to greet you properly. I am Bellesica da Luvis. I am the eldest daughter of the Baron Luvis family in the south.”

Her family has been devout members of the Holy Cross for generations, and to be baptized in the year she turns 12, the biggest event is to visit Federa, the largest city in the east, where the Great Shrine of the Holy Light Cross exists, the only place in Ithiel. It is said that it was a family that lived happily.

Velesica, who is 12 this year, followed that family tradition. It was a month ago that I adjusted my schedule so that I could arrive in Federa on my birthday, went on a trip with a happy heart, and returned home after being baptized. The anomaly appeared two weeks later.

A cultist appeared.

Baron Ruvis, who noticed the strangeness in the way they tried to take Bellecica by all means, from appeasement to threats, correctly grasped the connection of this incident that occurred after his daughter’s christening. That she was a candidate for a saint of the Holy Cross, and the Great War noticed this and tried to eliminate her.

After making a decision, Baron Luvis prepared two wagons and headed for Ogwen with his few soldiers. One for him and his wife to ride as bait, and the other for the children to ride to Ogwen.

“But…we got caught.”

I don’t know if it was a plan carefully conceived by someone in the Great War using the cultists or a product of coincidence, but they aimed precisely at Bellesica’s carriage, not the carriage of Baron Luvis, the bait. The soldiers of the loyal family sacrificed their lives, but it was not enough, and they were dragged to the temple of the cultist and were in danger of dying, but Sen and her party helped him.

ha ha ha. The fate of the child is also strange, but I am also amazing because I am involved in it. I liked that the aristocrats ran away from the political scene, but now the religious bastards who are blinded by power are fucking shit.

Still, he spoke more clearly than expected, so I was satisfied that I roughly grasped the context and finished the story.

“Thank you for letting me know. It’s relieved that you know everything. It looks like you’re ready, so let’s go.”

“…yes?’ Beleshka, who was cringing like a scolded child

,

looked at me with her eyes wide open. What is it? Is there any reason to react like

this ?

They say they change their minds dozens of times a day, but just as I was about to think that this is a bit… Beleshka shook her head violently and hurriedly continued, “No, that’s not it

. Do you know what the situation is now? But you still want to accompany me?”

“I see…?”

What’s the problem…

? The people who sold me to the cultists could be high-ranking members of the Holy Light Cross. When the story of helping me flows in…”

Oh? You mean, this brave little boy took care of me? How can you be so proud? It was so wonderful that I almost stroked his head.

“Hahaha. You don’t have to worry about that. It’s because I don’t dwell on such things.”

“No, this is a simple problem enough to be expressed in the form of attachment…”

“It’s a simple problem. It just ends when Lady Bellesica arrives in Ogwen and visits the Holy Cross Temple.” I

understand. No matter how mature you try to act when you’re 12, you’re still a kid. It’s a very easy law to accept .

Even so, the fact that the Great War did not solve it and deliberately worked after the lady returned home makes it a story that there are very few people who did not want the saintess to appear inside the Great War. I can’t get support, so I’m secretly trying to solve it.”

If the entire Holy Cross Society didn’t want the saintess and wanted to get rid of it, it would be a problem to be solved by just accepting it moderately, sending it to the battlefield with an appropriate excuse, and killing it appropriately. So, it must have been a secret attempt to solve it, and even borrowing the hands of devil worshipers.

“The lady becomes a saint in Ogwen, and I destroy the base of those cultists. That alone will solve most problems. It’s not too complicated.”

“Bo, nothing complicated?”

“Yes. It would be more difficult to slam the dragon’s head down from the sky.”

After answering with a smile, he returned to the camp where the preparations for departure were complete, leaving behind a word not to worry about it

. Of course it’s not difficult… isn’t it?’ I muttered the same thing, but didn’t seem to have to pay much attention.

“Has the story been sorted out?”

Asilie, who was petting me while waiting for me to finish, smiled and asked, “I could have overheard the conversation if I wanted to.” It must have been her own consideration that she didn’t do that even though she should

have. I think we should just start with Ogwen. There were some annoying things involved,

but it’s nothing special.” “Unlike saying something, Eldy’s expression is neatly resolved… That kid doesn’t seem to have that?

” Look.”

“Huh. Well, I’m still young.”

“Well, it wasn’t a big deal,

so I’ll think about it and then stop.” Sen, who was riding along with Merdella, came to the side while helping her to mount the same horse as if it were natural.

“Well, did the story end well?”

“Uh. There was nothing wrong. Let’s go to Ogwen for now.”

Although I didn’t like the fact that both of them reacted similarly to Belessica’s and made strange expressions after hearing my answer.
