Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga Chapter 201

“But how on earth did you know and wait for the time for me to come? I must have notified them unilaterally of this?”

As I followed Priest Asher, I suddenly came to a realization and asked a question, and he burst into laughter.

“‘It’s a place where the morning mass starts at 7, but most of the priests will wake up at 5 anyway, so if you visit at 6 o’clock and talk, you’ll have no choice but to finish the story quickly because of the mass.’ Are you wrong?”

“What madness?! Does Miss Lubiska teach mind-reading?”

Not joking, I was really surprised. However, Priest Asher only shook his head as if I was genuinely funny.

“There are 100 out of 100 people who want to do their own business because they are pressed for time. This guy thinks about people the same everywhere.”

this. I guess it wasn’t a ‘great little tip that jumps out after seeing business quickly in the temple’ only for reincarnated people in another world. Surprise begins to turn to embarrassment.

“Of course, it was unknown whether you would really come, so I was thinking of waiting for about five minutes and then just leaving if you didn’t come. Adventurers will be greeted by another brother and guided to a private room. Today, only you have business.”

“That’s a scary word. Why?”

“I also heard that part from the saintess. For some reason, she pledged her life to you.”

shit. I decided to just keep my mouth shut and follow Priest Asher.

If I had to compare the size of Ogwen’s branch of the Holy Cross, it was only about the size of a church I had seen very often in my previous life.

Among the many images that come out when you type a cathedral on the Internet, ‘It looks tall and not very big, right?’ size enough to be evaluated. The difference is that the height is not used as an interior for a prayer space, but is thoroughly divided and used as a living space.

Even the chapel for prayer is full when about 30 people sit down. It was because of their doctrine rather than because the size of the Holy Cross was small.

“Didn’t you say that space doesn’t matter when it comes to giving thanks to God?”

Should I say they are people with strong behavioral tendencies? They prioritize practice and practicality over embellishment and display… They are more appropriately described as warriors than priests. As I followed Reverend Asher through the prayer room, I said something that came to my mind, and he looked at me with interest and said,

“You’ve only heard it once, and you remember it well. Did you decide to follow Lubiska-sama in the capital?”

“I can’t believe it. It’s a teaching that left an impression on me, so it’s only engraved in a small way on one side of Lubiska-sama’s shrine located in the pantheon in my heart.”

“…is that a good expression…?”

I really hate it, as if it wasn’t a joke, but the way I keep muttering and memorizing it as if I’ll use it someday is really naive, unlike the appearance. Who would see that figure and consider it a heretic hunter of the Holy Light Cross, considered the nightmare of transgressors?

“But where are we going now?”

“We can’t have a conversation while leaving our precious guests at a distance. There’s a drawing room in our temple too.”

It seemed that he had not called for a reward.

“I never thought I’d be an honored guest here.”

“We also thought so until we heard the story through the saintess, but you, who personally brought the saintess, should have guessed.”

“Aren’t you a candidate for a saint?”

“No. It’s a saintess.”

A definite answer with no hesitation. Even though it is obvious what that means, he calmly answers without changing his emotions. I thought that would be the case and introduced Priest Asher… But after hearing it myself, I feel strange.

In the end, it was a story that the deep parts of a church had rotted and a foul-smelling pus had formed. It was easy to say, but it meant that the heresy interrogation would begin soon and bloody winds would rage.

“I’m going to talk about it in earnest anyway… but as a follower, I want to say thank you again.”

“It was a pure coincidence. It must have been Lady Lubiska’s arrangement to protect the saintess.”

“haha.”

Of course, it was just lip service rather than really thinking about it.

If that was really an ‘arrangement’, it would mean that Lubiska-sama, feeling bored with her long new life, overturned the carriage Beleshka was riding and started it in order to see Eldmia Ega’s amazing personality. If Sen’s words and collateral were not up to standard, the result might have been completely different.

Whether or not the person listening knew the inside story, he surprisingly accurately grasped my intentions.

“After going to the capital, the empty words increased. But even so, it is true that the entire Holy Light Cross owes you a debt for this matter, so there will be a reasonable compensation in some form.”

“It’s a reward… I wasn’t even thinking about it.”

“You were thinking of getting rid of the adventurers and leaving?”

“yes.”

I answered without hesitation anyway. If it wasn’t for my poor handling, it would have been possible to deceive me enough, but it was already in the past.

“Well, think about it from now on.”

I stopped talking and walking and reached a place I had never been to before. In the first place, the only place I knew of in the Temple of the Holy Cross was the chapel.

“How are you?”

“The commander of the shrine wants to talk with you.”

Ah, the drawing room must have been the drawing room of the Shinjangjang. I looked at Priest Asher with a lot of dislike, but he kindly knocked on the door directly in response to my earnestness with a smile. fuck.

“Shinjeonjangnim. I brought Eldmia Ega.”

-Ah, thank you Brother Asher. Come in.-

After answering with a toothy smile to Priest Asher, who even kindly opened the door, I was greeted by an elderly woman.

“It’s been a while, Eldmia. Is it the first time in four years that you’ve seen this in person?”

“You remember it accurately, Chief Hisyena.”

“It’s a world where it’s harder to forget the faithful. Good job Brother Ashel. It may be a hassle, but I’ll ask for other adventurers.”

“Yes, Chief Shin.”

Can a person who only happened to meet and talk at a chapel be said to be sincere? It would be more correct to say that he remembered it because he was a troublemaker who was usually very noisy.

It was called a drawing room, but the atmosphere was like a confessional place. As befits the Holy Cross, the interior is minimally decorated and furnishings, making one wonder if the priests sometimes use it as a private prayer room.

Standing in the middle to greet me, Hisyena Shinjang is an impressive woman with an upright posture and unbent shoulders despite her age of over 50. It is different from Duke Lesrom, which has a similar feeling. Had it not been for the veil on his head, he would have looked like a veteran warrior, but his face was benevolent.

“Even before I left Ogwen, I felt like a giant, but it seems to have grown in the meantime. At this rate, I will soon surpass Brother Ashel.”

“After training hard, he grew taller. On the other hand, it seems that Master Shin is avoiding even the years.”

“Huh-huh. I also think it’s the result of hard training.”

That’s the answer that the head of a temple in charge of a temple will give. A warrior’s answer.

After a brief greeting, the head of the temple, Hisyena, maintained a calm attitude and talked about the main topic without pretentiousness.

“The reason we decided to meet and talk is to express our gratitude… but also because we want to ask you to keep quiet about the saintess for a while. There are also stories related to cultists, though.”

“…Until we can talk with temples in other regions?”

“You understand quickly. Can you guess what the story will be about the cult?”

“Please take care of it so that it doesn’t show that the temple is moving…?”

Hisyena Shinjang just smiled without a hint of surprise.

“I heard from the saintess that she defeated cultists in their 30s alone.”

“There were 10 or 20 people, to be exact.”

“It’s a correct point, but I don’t think it means much to Eldmia. You weren’t hurt, right?”

Apparently, I heard a lot of stories and sorted them out overnight. I just nodded my head in response, and the commander Hisjena nodded with a smile as if I was satisfied with the answer.

“Contrary to popular misunderstanding, demons are definitely gods, beliefs, and not even evil gods.”

just different She made that point clear.

“Even if the hero and the demon lord are intertwined in their destiny and fight each other, that won’t change. But the devil is a different matter.”

Beings who sow endless destruction and pain only for their own pleasure and purpose.

The temple does not forgive them because they are like a sign of depravity with no room left for regeneration. Just as saints live and breathe to prove God’s grace, demons live and breathe is no different from proving human malice and sin.

There seemed to be some common interpretation about that, but I can’t remember. This is the result of looking at it and passing by.

“We, the Ogwen Branch of the Holy Cross, would like to ask you to investigate as well as eradicate the cult. Can you accept it?”

A light suggestion, as if asking if we would like to go for a walk together. Being able to speak so calmly, even when it’s not a light issue, seems to prove that she’s used to dealing with demons and cultists.

could understand It’s even a problem that the attempt to assassinate the saint took place inside the church, but the people who commissioned it were devil worshipers. It would be a word to use in this case. Even asking for help from the adventurer’s guild would require a lot of effort and money to keep quiet.

Now, from their point of view, I would be a very good solution to the problem at hand.

It wasn’t hard for me to accept her offer anyway, as I was also in a position to kill them all. However, as I was thinking about what to ask for for the request fee, Heathyena Chief of Staff spoke up first.

“It won’t be bad. If your long-cherished wish is still the same, I think I can help with it.”

“Help?”

“The experience and information of the temple warriors who fought against the Demon King’s army on the front line, and the support of the temple. Everything including everything. Of course, the compensation including the rescue of the saintess is different.”

indeed. I don’t mean to be stingy with things related to the saintess, right?

It was my long-cherished dream, something I always talked about in the neighborhood, so it wasn’t particularly surprising that she knew. I clapped lightly and said with a sales smile.

“Let’s write the contract right away.”
