229-223 Daily training

As he walks through the church towards the executioner's room, he speaks to Kefin as he walks ahead of him.

'How can you walk through such an intricate place without getting lost? This is the first time you've been here, right?

'Haha. Once I've walked through a place, I usually remember it. Among Luciel-sama's followers, scouting is my role, so I'm second to none in this one.

That's encouraging. Do you have any tips or tricks to remember?

I still remember the Labyrinth of Trials, but I've already forgotten most of the other labyrinths.

'The trick? Well........the easy way is to remember the landmarks. Also, if you look back once when you turn, you'll see a different view, so if you remember how you walked there, you won't get lost most of the time. Once you get used to it, it's like looking at a map, you get a bird's eye view of yourself.

'I've learned that you can't learn anything overnight. Well, it wouldn't be worth it otherwise.

'Yes. When you're able to do it, the next wall comes up again, so it's like practicing every day.

That's for sure. Training every day I feel like I've only been training since I came of age.

'That's why I believe Master Luciel was able to become a wise man.

'Whoa, I felt like I could save something. Thanks, Keffin.

No.

When I was having a conversation with Kefin, I was reminded of my previous life again.

One time I had the opportunity to hear a monk preach.

He said that people borrowed their souls from the Buddha and that they had to polish them shiny until one day they could return them.

But if you work harder, your soul will shine brighter, and you will be happier in this life, and maybe the Buddha will be happy to lend you the next time he lent it to you.

I remembered such details.

Now that I've been reincarnated, I wondered if my soul was in good shape.　Even if I was able to polish it, I feel that the amount of money I've spent has been immediately returned to me by Mr. Gounan.

When you think about it, the fact that you want to live a peaceful life and you still get involved in all kinds of things means that your karma in your previous life must have been very deep.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that if I didn't work hard and train hard while I could, my peaceful life would fade away, so I decided to be diligent again and followed Kefin.

After about five minutes of walking, I saw the service entrance to the annex.

'I heard that this annex is used entirely by the Executive Office.

Hearing Kefin's words, I checked the annex, and unlike the five-story main building, the executive building was three stories tall and not as tall as the main building, but it was large enough that the training grounds of the War Maiden Holy Knights could be completely filled in.

''This whole building?''

'Yes, it seems so. Dongahaha's private quarters are this way.

From there they walked again for a short distance and came to Dongahaha's room on the third floor.

'I feel like you're pretty much room to room, don't you?

I think you'll find out when you get inside. Here it is.

When Kefin opened the door, it was a different grade than me and Lumina's private room.

'It's three or four times the size of my room, no, four times the size of my room. If you're using this by yourself, I don't know now, but I'm sure the funds flowing into this place must have been plentiful.

'Yes. Next to this one is a stack of books, and it's a desk that sits chock-a-block at the end of the stack.

Even if it was this big, it would be too much to hold.

With that in mind, I went into the library, which was cozy and somewhat dimly lit, giving me the impression of being at ease.

When I opened the drawer to look at the necklace in the desk, I found a sphere that emitted a faint light, about the size of a baseball.

But rather than a necklace, it looked more like a chain holding the sphere in place.

''Didn't you have any documentation written about this?''

'Yes. I looked at the diary, too, but I couldn't find anything written in it.

Well, Galba-san and Kefin, who excel in intelligence, wouldn't fail to do that.

''Do you have any magic detection?''

''Galba-sama and I both have difficulty detecting magic power by nature, and I can only tell you vague things, but I could only tell you that magic power was coming out of this necklace.

I see. Hmm, it seems to me that the chains are sealing the sphere. It's like there are two different magical forces, and the chains are holding the power of the sphere in place.

Then we can't just destroy it. But why can't I just touch this?

'Maybe there's a condition, I don't know. But I'm afraid that if I break the seal now, I'm going to get caught up in something else.

'Then why don't you put it in a magic bag?　Well, if you can touch it, that is...

'Well yeah, that's not a problem. Let's put it away for now. I want Kefin to try again now to find something for me.

I understand.

Kefin nodded and walked out of the stacks.

'Well, let's start with the will. And since it's no longer a will, there's no need for it.

And I began to read Dongahaha's will.

[I'm resisting the thought of this being read by something I don't know who, but hopefully this will be read by someone who cares about the Pope and the Church].

The will was written to the Pope and those who thought of the Church.

There was a detailed description of the inside of the church that he had seen since the creation of the labyrinth, from his own upbringing.

As I read through it, it mentioned that demon tribes had started being sighted in the Empire about two years ago, and that they had been found in Rubruk as well.

And when the corpse I defeated the demon race half a year ago was brought here, it turned out that the human race and beastmen had turned into demons.

When he started to look into it, he vomited blood, and when he found out he wasn't long anymore, he let his intelligence unit explore the Empire with a letter to explore the demonization, and the reply apparently came from Brange, not the Empire.

There, he learned that using the Evil Law would increase his lifespan, and the condition was that he would send out someone to make him become a demon race in exchange.

And with me losing my Holy Attribute Magic, the church's survival was in jeopardy if it continued.

But he had no time left to rebuild the church.

After he was troubled, he chose to use the Evil Law on his body.

And to that end, he asked the executive, including Brutus, the supremacist Brutus, who was the supremacist of the human race, and who was working injustice in the church and selling information, what if he could get the power to lightly defeat the Order.

Then, without showing any signs of being troubled, they wanted the power, as the executive was the law of the church.

Thus, they slowly transformed into the demon race over a period of three months.

It seems that when the knights who became demonized were shown to the people dispatched by the Blange side, they were taught a summoning technique to summon the demon tribe if the church side found out, and were told to go to the empire when they escaped.

Originally, he was going to kill the knights who had turned into the demon race with his hands, but it seemed that he was troubled by the fact that he had received information about me again here and became a wise man.

[Did I underestimate him?　Or has God's punishment for deceiving the church been meted out to me? If so, it's not a bad idea to take my life and bet it all on him].

There was such a description.

And when he finished reading the entire book with the summoning technique using magic stones, it was written to be transcribed as far as he could remember, because it had been burned.

But it seemed that all he wanted to write on this was the last sentence.

[If I die and there is anyone to read this, I want you to give it to the Pope or the Wise Lord as a will. I desire a place where the Church is a sublime and holy place and the salvation of the people]

It was written in the postscript that he would leave behind a bibliography describing the demonization and a transcript of the demon summoning.

Sin is sin. Punishment is punishment. But I realized once again that there are many aspects of people that we cannot see.

I heard that he kept a diary of his progress on the situation of becoming a demon race.

And at a certain point in the endgame, I had to stop my eyes.

[Dukedom Brange summoned a brave man and apparently obtained the power to rule the world instead of a brave man. Using that power, the empire's study of the demon race is the perfect place to hide the demon race. The one from Brange had spoken. If that's the case, we need to fix the church's wards as soon as possible]

'Are you saying that if you want to hide the trees, it's in the forest, or if you want to hide the demon race, it's in the failed attempt to make them demonic?　If the empire falls from this, the St. Schuler Cooperative State will be sandwiched between the imperial duchies... that's why you said it was an empire. But.........

If they were to rush into the Empire, it would still be a tough fight.

According to the information, they have a pterodactyl unit as well.

I'm sure you'll have to consult with them first.... If I don't make a move here, I'm sure the only thing waiting for me will be the despair of regret.......

If possible, I left the stacks with a rather serious desire to have a settled life by the time I was the age of my former life.
