Chapter 108: Night church and sister<hr>
After dinner and a bath, I logged in. I immediately headed to Verdure vige to nt the potatoes and lettuce that Yuuna-san had shared with me.
When I arrived at the vige and headed for the field, I felt something strange. What is it? This strange feeling...
I looked for the source of the strange feeling and found it in the field next to mine. I felt a strange feeling in Yuuna-san''s field. There were no traces of destruction, but the nting of vegetable seeds had stopped in the middle. How is this possible?
Yuuna-san and Yug-san remembered wood magic. That''s why they should nt the seeds, grow them with Grow, and harvest them. There was no reason to stop halfway.
It was as if someone had attacked while working in the field...that was the moment I thought that. Suddenly, a chill ran through me.
Lily and the others reacted at the same time. What we immediately saw was a church.
Churches at night are always suspicious, but this church was unusual. After all, the vigers were turning on the lights as usual. But this church waspletely dark.
Damn it...this waspletely my fault. I''ve been so absorbed in the fields that I didn''t notice such a clear sense of difort.
The door of the church opens and someone ising towards me. The person was an NPC dressed in a sister''s uniform.
"Haa...haa...pl, please. Help me!"
As the sister said this, the door of the church opened again and someone came out. The sister turns around.
"Hee!?"
The sister''s face turns to fear and she rushes towards us.
I can''t help it, can I? This.
"Ion, Gray! You have to protect her"
"Yes!"
Ion and Gray run, protect the sister ande over here. In the meantime, I could see who came out after them.
It seems to be a priest, but his speed is unbelievable...he''s just walking normally, but his speed is like an athlete running...it''s a mild horror.
I managed to sessfully protect the sister. Then the priest slowed down, came closer and spoke to me.
"Good evening. Are you a summoner adventurer?"
"Good evening. My name is Takuto and I''m a summoner who has decided to work in the fields here"
"That''s great. I''m sure it''s a lot of work, but...how is it? Would you like to talk in the church?"
He seems to want to let me into the church. But I can''t just jump into a dangerous ce.
"I''m sorry, but I can''t do that. I have to take her to Freetia"
"That''s not a good idea"
"Hee...why?
"She''s a Sister here. Church regtions prohibit her from going out at night. I have to punish her for her vitions as a priest"
That''s a great excuse. But I can''t back down either.
"I''m sorry. I''m a summoner, so I don''t know much about church regtions. But it is true that she asked for our help. So we''ll protect her for today"
"That''s a problem...I have to follow the regtions too"
"If punishing her is the rule, can''t we do itter? We don''t need to punish her now, do we? Or is there a reason you need to punish her now?"
"Yes. It''s a regtion"
That''s apletely desperate argument. Then the sister shouts.
"No, that''s not true! There is no such regtion in the church! Church is a ce for people to pray! It''s not a ce to punish people or kill people!"
"That''s your own interpretation. I am the priest of this church. I''m the one who decides what kind of ce this church is"
That''s the argument of a powerful man. And he''s not denying it. And he''s the one who decides the rules of the church? I don''t know the details, but he''s a priest or something higher up.
"Well...if that''s what you''re saying, why don''t we ask the King of Freetia?"
"...What?"
His mood has changed.
"Is the church or the church''s regtions yours? That should clear things up, right? After all, it''s the king of this country"
"Huh. What right do you have to do that?"
"I don''t have the right to do that, but I''m very close to the Third Princess. I think it''s possible to talk to the king"
Well, I guess it''s time to show his true colors. The priest smiled.
"Well then, I guess I have no choice. I''ll let you all die here"
Then a ck aura emanates from the priest and his appearance transforms. His skin turned ck and bat wings sprouted from his back.
And then the information started to flow.
Urgent quest Demon Nebiros has urred
"My name is Nebiros. I''ll sacrifice you and the sister over there"
Hey Hey...give me a break. I couldn''t help but think that.
