Chapter 93 - 92: Let's Do Some Kidnapping.

(Third person perspective)

"Illya wear this dress that dad has bought for you, dad will take you to a good place," said Illya's dad. In his hand, he held a little floor-length mermaid silhouette bright white wedding gown.

It was small enough to fit Illya. 

Looking at Illya's puzzled expression, her father opened his mouth to clear her confusion,

"It is for the welcome of our true master."

Without any further question, Illya wore the white wedding dress. 

"How do I look?" asked Illya, tilting her head.

Being in awe, her father was speechless, it took him a good second to find a word to describe how she looked,

"You truly look like an angel!!! perfect for our masters welcome." 

"Then let's go." said her mom, grabbing Illya's hand.

The place they were taking her was a welcome ceremony.

92-2

"There he is."

"What is a holy man like him is doing here?" Asked Ulrich.

"I don't know, maybe holy men have their urges."

"But won't that make them ----unholy?"

From the top of one of the houses, Grey and Ulrich followed the Churchman that they had met earlier today, they followed him till the back alley of an Inn.

The white-robed church guy was with a woman, a prostitute at that.

"Why did you bring me here, sweetheart? What do you want to do with a pure man such as me?" unlike his claim to be a 'pure man', his facial expression was reeking with lecherous intention.

The seductive woman ran her finger through his chest, getting closer to his ears, she whispered "What do you want to do to me?"

"I have so many things that I can do to you, just give me the chance."

Taking a step back, with a bewitching smile on her face, she spoke in an erotic tone, 

"Come here while no one is looking, you can do anything you want." 

The churchman was at his limit, he stepped closer to her, grabbing her hand.

"That's it, I am at my---"

As he was speaking, his vision blurred away. Collapsing to the ground, he was rendered unconscious. 

After confirming that the Churchman has fallen unconscious, Grey jumped from the roof to the ground, in front of the woman.

Grey's course of action didn't make sense to Ulrich. He wondered why would Grey jump down to reveal himself. 

But following Grey's action, he jumped down anyways. 

Grey looked at the woman, taking out two gold coins, he tossed it for the woman to catch. 

"Good work," said Grey. 

"But, the deal was one gold coin, why are you giving me two?" 

"Excellent work always deserves an extra bonus, "

The woman couldn't help but chuckle, "It was great working with you, let me know if you need more help in the future." 

"I will remember that." 

Taking the two coins, the woman walked away. Well, she was stealthy about it since she is playing with her life. Getting caught by the church is no joke, they will use your body to the fullest extent before tossing you away to die.

Picking up the unconscious churchman's body, Grey entered the back door of the Inn, the basement door to be specific. 

Walking down the stairs, Ulrich opened his mouth since he was still confused,

"That woman was working for you?"

"Yes, I hired that woman to seduce him and to perform a sleeping spell on this man."

"And why are we entering an Inn's basement?" asked Ulrich.

"I contacted the Inn's owner. I talked to the owner of the Inn, I said that I would be needing a room for sex, and I said it specifically that my girl likes it rough, so she will be making a lot of noise." 

Confused, Ulrich asked, "Why would you say that?", but he realized the answer before Grey could even answer his question.

But Grey answered his question anyway, "After I said that, the owner suggested the basement, he said that basement was really soundproof. A highly soundproof place is also best for --- ahem, torture."

Astonished, Ulrich spoke up "You have really thought ahead."

"You can praise me more." 

"I am not doing that"

--------------------------------------------------------------------

After being unconscious for about half an hour, the churchman opened his eyes. After opening his eyes, he was able to see two hazy figures, hazy because his vision was still blurry. 

But after a good minute his vision became clearer, so did the two hazy figures. The two figures were two boys, one had orange wavy hair and another had white straight hair. Well, they were Grey and Ulrich. 

He recognized these two boys since he saw them earlier today. 

"Good morning! no, it's currently night, so perhaps good night? no, it doesn't make sense." said Grey, he was contemplating over what to greet a person who is waking up at night.

"It is not important right now, since this 'holy' man will soon not be able to differentiate day with night," said Ulrich, placing his hand over Grey's shoulder

"Wha-- what are you planning? why did you bring me here?" asked the man cautiously, the man was not really terrified of the boys in front of him.

But yet he maintained caution of the unknown room he was in. 

Rolling his eyeballs around the room, he scanned the room to find the clue of his exact location. Simultaneously he was brainstorming his way out of his binds that were tying him down to the chair.

"To have a little chit-chat with you." answered Grey to his earlier question, he continued "Well, to be honest, I want some information from you." 

"You kids, do you know who you are playing with?" asked the man.

"No, and we don't care," answered Ulrich. 

The man ran his fingers through the rope he was tied with,

'Seems like a normal rope, can be easily burnt' thought the churchman.

Raising his index finger, Grey asked "How long are you in the church of Demis? what is your position in the church?" 

The churchman gathered mana in his hand, 

'This kid's thought that they would be able to tie me down with normal rope, pathetic. Watch me burn this rope.'

"I have been in the church of twenty years and I am the bishop of this church!! and I will purge evil like you kids from this world---" declared churchman with pride as flames shot from his hand. enveloping the rope he was tied to in flames. 

With the prideful declaration, he tried to get up from the chair. But the thing was that, contrary to church man's expectation the rope didn't burn away.

His awkward attempt to set himself free failed as his butt was slightly off the chair, but his hands and legs were still tied to the chair.

Grey sat there for a good second, staring at the churchmen. Grey wanted to mentally torture him with this awkward silence, he wanted the man to rethink the awkward thing he had just attempted.

After a good second, Grey spoke, "So anyway, that answers my question. Basically, you are in the church long enough to answer my questions."

"You don't know how powerful I am, kid. I can kill you this instant if I wanted to."

"Try it," said Grey, shooting at ridiculing smile at the churchman. "You can't even break the rope right? well, I understand how powerful you are, that's why I specifically bought a mana-infused rope to tie you down."

"Damn you kid!!! what do you think you are? I can't entertain this stupid prank. if you let me go now, I will overlook this prank now."

"Let me be clear, this is not a prank. We just want information from you, answer my questions before you start regretting your life's choice" said Grey,

Raising his second finger he asked, "Second question, what is the connection between the church and the attack that happened five years ago at Amon village?"

Grey didn't beat around the bush as he directly asked the question.

"Why would a kid like you want to know that?!" 

Grey stepped back, as he called on to Ulrich saying, "Ulrich, do it." 

Walking near the churchmen, in his hand he held tweezer. Grabbing onto Churchmen's index finger, Ulrich got hold of his index fingernail. 

"Wha-- what are you trying to do?!!" asked the man, his voice has gotten shaky, the previous pride in his voice has disappeared.

His fear spiked as he realized the gravity of his situation. That's what Grey wanted to do, he wanted the man to stop viewing them as kids.

Grey wanted the man to realize that Grey and Ulrich have the power over-current situation. 

"You are in no position to ask questions. From now on you will only open your mouth to answer my question," Grey's voice had frightening seriousness in it. 

Even though the Church man's instinct has told him to do not open his mouth, but his pride didn't let him do that. 

"You Brat--" 

Without hearing what the man has to say, Grey opened his mouth,

"Ulrich do it.. Don't pluck it out quickly, do it as slowly as you can."
