Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 218
Fortunately, Catherine did not choose to attack first, so there was no friction between the saint and the others who ran behind her..
However, this does not mean that a friendly atmosphere was created. Although my request for temporary neutrality was accepted by appealing to the public for help in exterminating this cult, most people did not look favorably on the heresy judges of the Demon Church, including the saint..
Yes, mostly. In other words, there are people who responded more favorably than expected..
"Mmmmm. I see He's a good person."
In a way, it should be said that it is natural. Asilier, who had already shown no particular objection to the fact that I did not show any hostility, may have been satisfied with confirming once again that I was not a crazy racist killer, but she smiled at the saint and said, We even shook hands. Not only did Sen not have any prejudice against her demon religion, but she also had an insane affinity unique to Pulling, so she welcomed the opportunity to talk to her demons. Seneran's eyes began to light up in anticipation of being able to hear the story about magic directly from the demons at this opportunity. Her reaction was understandable up to that point, but she was as unexpected as the last person..
"Ahaha! I'm sorry about this! Still, I think it was the best choice from my perspective, so please don't be too offended.!"
When Catherine, a warrior of civilization, heard what I said, without the slightest hesitation, she patted the saint on the shoulder and showed a friendly attitude as if she had been a friend for ten years..
She truly had the appearance of an intellectual befitting the name of a civilized warrior, but since she knew well what the average perception of demons in this world was, her boldness was quite unexpected..
On the contrary, Lellie was anxious about her lack of distance and almost warned her, but Catherine did not care at all..
"If you helped with the explosion and even used holy magic to help in the battle, at least you're an ally now.?"
"But they're demons..."
"What's wrong with demons? Because of the horns on my head? We are people who believe that our ancestors are mixed with dragons, so we don't think that's a big deal.."
Now that I think about it, I heard there's something called the Dragon Blood Clan in Loveville. I think she may have been thinking in a very fragmentary context, thinking that dragons have horns, so that's it..
"Above all, you saved me from the first explosion by flying away, right? If he took action like that even though it wasn't a situation that was foreseen in advance, he must be a good person regardless of his race. Even if we end up fighting for each other's beliefs someday somewhere else.."
oh my god. Soooooooo AWESOME. Catherine's face, which was usually sweet and cute, looks very solemn and beautiful..
I almost gave a standing ovation without realizing it. I hope people in this world can watch and learn.
"My name is Deoni Bireh. I am the heresy judge of the Demon God Church.."
The saintess, who briefly introduced herself after conciliating opinions, seemed to have decided to hide the fact that she was a saint. After neatly explaining that she had arrived here with her colleagues because there was a revelation to kill demon worshipers pretending to be demon gods, she naturally pointed to me, who had fought with her, and asked for her help..
Fortunately, my colleagues did not find the appearance particularly suspicious. Perhaps because they are all adventurers, they showed a very generous response to the friendly relationship after cooperation. Although Asilier seemed to sense something strange as she twitched her ears, when I agreed, she quickly left without saying a word and began exploring this place with the dried corpses and what could be an abandoned dungeon to make money. was away.
In the awkward silence that arose as my companions left, I decided to take the lead this time..
"Well, now that I can let go of the saint and her friends... may I ask how the saint can help me like Epaga said??"
They stayed together under the pretext of helping with the investigation of the altar on behalf of the stunned Heresy Judges, but anyway, it was now just a pile of meaningless stones. It was a question that was casually asked while the saintess, with her shield draped on her back, was comfortably laying down the heretic judges who were casually lying down. However, the saintess did not get an answer right away, as she may not have had anything in particular in mind..
"Of course, I don't want to ask for help right away or make unreasonable demands. I just thought there might be something to it since Epaga said so himself.."
I tried to add something in case she thought I was pecking her, but she still seemed to organize her thoughts as if it had nothing to do with it..
"Epaga emphasized cooperation. Because it was a tight situation, there were many things he couldn't say afterward... but he emphasized that more than anything else.."
The saintess turned her eyes to me as she laid the last heresy judge on his back and continued speaking in an extremely calm manner..
"I believe that you are the hero that Ephaga has chosen, and I plan to help you in every way.."
It was actually a bombshell statement for me..
I am... a warrior?
This is the sound of Siegfried, who was passing by, bursting out laughing and hitting the ground. As if my thoughts were revealed on her face, the saint shook her head slowly and added her explanation..
"To express it accurately, it would be correct to judge it as a ‘being equivalent to a hero’.."
"Is... are you okay??"
"well. Wouldn't it be okay since we don't have to tell the entire church that you are a hero and support them? Helping you is limited to my individual capabilities.."
After listening to the saint, it was said that this revelation itself was so unusual and secret that it could not be found in the church's records. It is said that she was unable to provide a proper explanation even to her fellow heresy judges and was almost forced to accompany them, so it was her opinion that even if they were awakened, there was a high possibility that they would not be able to publicize it on a large scale..
As it was hard to believe that I, a human, lived in a place that had nothing to do with the Demon Cult and even had a reincarnation under the direct protection of the Demon God, I was able to fully understand what she meant. In the end, while they were concocting a story to tell when they woke up, the saintess looked very sorry and apologized..
"Even though I defeated the demon alone, I don't feel like having to pretend that I helped. sorry."
"Everything is guided by Ephacca, so you don’t have to worry about it.."
"...Did you have any intention of joining the Demon God Church from the beginning??"
Although I answered with utmost sincerity, I think it was a difficult reaction for the saint to understand. I knew very well why her somewhat strange question came out, so I shook my head and answered..
"I believed in God, but I did not know that He was Ephagah. If Epaga didn't say anything about this, I don't have anything to say right now.."
If someone who has lived their entire life in a country where their religion can never be spread suddenly converts as soon as they hear the name and message of God, it would be a strange situation for anyone to see. But no matter what, I am actually a person from another world, but I have the experience of dying and being reborn, so I have no choice but to be loyal to Epaga. You can't say that?
Above all, even if Epaga directly tells me, Asilier is the first person around me who is qualified to know about it. Even if the saint listens to my story and shows full trust and faith, she cannot compromise on that..
"hmm. it's okay. As you may have guessed, it's very... mysterious, so I asked without thinking.."
Fortunately, the saint definitely kept the line..
After that, we had a few brief conversations to get to know each other and decided to check out the collapsed altar just in case before the Inquisitors woke up. The first thing that came into our sight was something unidentifiable, like a lump of red flesh..
As soon as I saw the unpleasant mass, smaller than my fist, resting on the pile of stones on which the devil's bastard's head rested, the saint said:.
"This seems to be a byproduct of the devil. I've only heard about it, but this is my first time seeing it in real life.."
"You're such a disgusting bastard from start to finish that you leave something like this behind.."
The saintess opened her eyes slightly, as if she was not pleased with my honest reaction and tone of voice, but then shook her head and began to take a look at the disgusting lump of flesh..
"Is it okay to touch that? Just looking at it, the amount of horsepower is no joke.."
"yes? do you see that?"
"yes. I see it. I don't know if it's the blessing given by Epaga.."
Since we had to cooperate with God anyway, I thought there was no need to hide it, so I said it out loud, and curiosity sparkled in the saintess's eyes..
Maybe this girl is a similar type of person to Seneran....?
This saintly woman is unusually curious..
