Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 445
After talking with Jin, I hurriedly returned after collecting supplies.
I was going to rob Lady Alisha’s food storage for a while anyway, so there was no problem, and when I arrived at the camp, I hurriedly called Seneran. She put on a shocked expression when I returned much earlier than expected, and after telling Jin what she had heard, she responded as if something had come.
“It must be a demon, right?”
“I guess so. Maybe those half-penny’s backs were on that side.”
“…Did you notice that I wrote the engraving?”
“It’s not like there’s no way if you decide to die or not and try to pull it out… but they’re not. It would be correct to say that they just caught the tail because there was some way.”
“Is there a reason?”
Seeing Seneran’s definite answer as if he didn’t have to worry at all, it was amazing.
“Did I say I broke the rules then? If I wanted to live, I would never have returned to the tunnel.
“Huh, is that what discipline is like? I thought I’d stick to it.”
“I’m either stupid, or I was offered a commission fee big enough to make me stupid, or both? Anyway, there’s no point in worrying about them now. They’ll only come here late or early.”
“What are you going to do?”
“Why do you ask me that? You have to decide.”
Wiping the dirty glasses without knowing or knowing, Seneran calmly put his thoughts into his mouth.
“It is probably due to the existence of this temple and the church that it moves to such an extreme extent. It is not known whether it is just a horse following orders or a ringleader, but it will never be a situation where the conversation will end… the reason the artifact was finally taken. If you guess, isn’t it a situation where there is a possibility that they will risk their lives as soon as they see you?”
It’s never a good story for the demon king army that the hero of the demon god is a human race.
Putting on his glasses again, Seneran concluded his words with a clearer gaze than ever before.
“So, you, the center of the case, decide. Being swung around by others isn’t your aptitude, is it?”
It was indeed a reasonable guess and, from my point of view, a sufficiently convincing conclusion. I didn’t know that Seneran, who had spent a lot of money on the story, would do it first.
Anyway, I decided to accept it as a thank you for giving me the right to decide.
“Well… then let’s gather them all together and talk.”
“story?”
“It’s more efficient to think about how to kill them and dig up their backs.”
Even if it seems like a fighting nation impatient for not being able to fight, as long as it is entangled with our village, the first premise is to hit it and see it.
◈
After briefly explaining the situation to Asilie, we returned to the ruins together, and the people who had already heard the story from Seneran greeted us with firm faces.
No one raised the possibility that it was a rumor that had nothing to do with us. Instead, the church and the saintess actively examined the possibility of leaving traces while looking back on their actions, and through a smooth exchange of opinions, which can be said to be a group project, we were convinced that the pursuer was the demon king’s army.
The real problem was then.
“Weedra-nim and Seneran-nim think it’s better to hurry back.”
Both of them drool at the one word suggested by Saint Deoni, but they could not refute it.
Everyone knew that it was not a very desirable decision to exclude the two, who could be called great forces, in the face of not being able to properly grasp the enemy’s strength, but due to their position, direct combat was not possible.
Since it is not a situation that can be easily confronted and ended, it is a known fact that a fierce battle will take place. Even if he hadn’t even thought of the hero, he wouldn’t move with half-hearted power on the subject of dealing with a wizard who was making a name for himself in the kingdom following the saintess and heretic judges.
When two such powers collide, no matter how secretly they fight in the woods, rumors will surely spread and traces will remain.
The traces of magical powers, magic, and the Holy Law will not be erased until the kingdom that heard the news belatedly started an investigation, and after learning that the two fought together, the royal family would intensively interrogate them.
“If you’re unlucky, your involvement in the smuggling will all be revealed. It’s better to get out of the country right away, but belatedly the demons cling to you.”
He nodded and helped the saintess, but it must have been unnecessary. Master nodded calmly as always, and after Seneran struggled to admit it with all his arrogance, he got up first to prepare at least a magic tool for my safety.
“By the way… Are the Saints and other church members all right?”
No matter how much I say that I am a hero, it cannot be easy to stand up for my own people for the sake of the human race. To the question posed with that thought in mind, the saintess instantly cast off the calm attitude she had shown until now and answered with an angry voice.
“Could it be okay?”
At best, I expected that there would be a reaction of regret about having to fight a meaningless battle with my own people, but the saintess’ reaction was completely different.
“Epa not only dared to go against the will of Nim and committed such atrocities, but instead of repenting, he continues to grow his own sins. How can he be okay as a person who serves God!”
“Ah… yes… I see.”
I quickly forgot about it because I was concentrating on the sex method class, but when I recalled my memories, it was Saint Deoni who, as soon as she heard the story of the severance with the holy relic from Epa, couldn’t hold back her anger and hammered the wall with her horn.
Seeing that the other heretic judges who heard the story had taken similar actions, I thought that maybe that was a way to express anger that belonged to the normal axis among the demons. I could realize that their reactions weren’t typical at all.
After a while, it became quiet as if nothing had happened, so I thought it was okay, but it didn’t seem to be the case at all.
“Even if the demon king ordered it directly, it was an act of violence that could never be forgiven. To come and kneel down and confess right away, but still pursue it while resorting to violence? This is an obvious expression of hostility and an attempt to kill a priest Blasphemy itself!”
correction.
It’s not to the extent that it’s not like that, but he can’t be very angry, and he’s ready to hit anywhere again.
Even the heresy judges who had been quietly listening in the background were grinding their teeth together instead of stopping her, so I hurriedly spoke out to calm them down.
“Well, there’s a chance that the soldiers just follow orders and don’t know what they’re doing. Maybe there’s people coming here who don’t even know there’s a temple there.”
If it was really like that, I would be very, very sorry, but it was still a long way from fighting, so it was better to say anything than to lose my energy already. Fortunately, the saintess and heresy judges withheld their anger, saying that it was a story that could have happened enough, and when the story began to be sorted out to some extent, they started discussing how to greet them.
However, there was nothing special about the tactical strategy right away. The enemies had a clear goal of ruins, so I came to the conclusion of creating a situation where they would attack from behind, and then people tried to get up from their seats to do their jobs again, and thanks to that, I couldn’t understand why the story wasn’t coming out. I had to open my mouth again to make the subject clear.
“Finally, the enemy wants to capture as much as possible, but do you have any other opinions?”
Unlike Master, who was not interested because he had to leave anyway, or Asilie, who responded positively, the expressions of the members of the church were truly colorful.
It was as if they were told that cancer cells are also life. The saintess asked a question without a moment to question what the hell she was thinking about to have such a reaction while half the reaction, as if she had seen a saint forgive the enemy who tried to kill her, gathered as one and poured out on me.
“Heroes. Just because we are demons, you don’t have to be considerate of that. As I just said, they might be the ones who took actions that could be called heresy…” Crazy god
.
Judging from the reaction of the members of the church, who nodded their heads while listening to the saintess’ words, it seemed that they accepted it as if I was extending some kind of great mercy.
“There seems to be a misunderstanding. This is just a matter of practicality. You can’t dig out the man behind the corpse, so of course you have to keep it alive.”
There’s nothing good to be done by making them have such fantasies, so I cut it out clearly, but for some reason, the reason I came back was ‘I see. The warrior has thoughts.’ It was a strange mixture of satisfaction and admiration. Even the saintess.
Wow, this is hard to get used to, really.
