70 4-12 Back auction Cathedral of the royal capital

They didn't complain about the room assignments again.

We will disperse once, and each of us will leave our luggage in our rooms, and then we will gather again in our rooms.

The purpose of the meeting was to decide on today's and tomorrow's plans.

For now, we're going to take a look at the neighborhood today.

The neighborhood was full of large mansions, and from what I can tell, it's a high-class residential area where the nobility live.

'Ah..... So not much to see then........

Even if you only see expensive looking houses.....

Besides, being an upscale residential area, if there are any shops, I'm sure they're all the high end shops for the aristocracy.

I don't want to spend a lot of money before the auction, so I wanted to see more shops for the masses if possible.

''Since we are here, how about visiting Mr. Freed?

'Yes. He said he has a carriage ready for you, and we can ask him if it looks interesting.

I rang the bell that had been given to me earlier with a chirieleen.

Then, after a short pause, there was a knock on the door.

'Excuse me. Sir, what can I do for you?

Oh well, I was just wondering if there's anything in the way of a royal city that's close enough to get home for dinner.

You're fast.

This mansion is pretty big.

I'm not sure if I was just in the vicinity.

And even then, it's only been a few seconds.

Have you ever been to the cathedral?

A cathedral?

Oh, the cathedral!　That's something you should see once you're in King's Landing!

Yeah. It's good to see, and I'm guessing you've never been to a church before?

The church I've never been to. Do you have a White?

No.

I don't have a cathedral in King's Landing either.

'We may ask for an offering, but a thousand nol per person should be sufficient. We can't ask for an altar, etc., but I thought you should see those stained glass windows at least once.

Oh, stained glass. I'm becoming more and more interested. Let's go see it.

Now, I'll go get the carriage ready. Please gather at the front door as soon as you are ready.

All right. I'll be right over as soon as I have a quick prep.

Very well. Excuse me, sir.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about it.

After all, an aged butler is a good-looking man.

Is everyone ready?

No problem. You can leave whenever you want.

I'm fine.

'We'll be fine too. If you get attacked by thugs on the way, don't worry, we'll protect you.

Thank you. I'm counting on you.

I don't even want to think about coming to King's Landing to see what's going to happen.......

Let me just do the usual sightseeing.

When I arrived at the entrance, a carriage one size larger than the one I just rode in was waiting for me at the entrance.

The earlier carriage is a merchant's carriage with a cloth-covered back, but this one is more like a nobleman's carriage made of wood.

It's a very good idea to have a freezer in the carriage, but it seems to be guiding you.

''What shall we do........''

Right. And he's wearing a standard uniform.

Don't mind me, sir. Please ride in the back. No one in King's Landing would dare attack this chariot with the Falconer's emblem on it.

"...if someone attacks you, Freed will take care of it.

On your left, sir.

Quirky or should I say quirky?

Freed is a martial artist too........

I'll be leaving then, sir.

Okay. I look forward to working with you.

Ha!

With a shout from Freed and a signal from the reins, the horses started to run and we started to run towards the cathedral of the royal capital.

This carriage, unlike the previous one, has windows, so it was easy to observe the streets of the royal capital.

However, the only problem is that it said it was a falconry's crest, so many people watching would think it was a falconry.

On the way, you can hear 'Hayato-sama! I can't very well respond to the

Now here we are, the cathedral!

Great.....

'It's amazing...'

Bigger.

Yes, it is.

It was huge because it was called a "large" cathedral.

It was the biggest building I've ever seen, which is probably why religion is so profitable.

Hello!　Are you here for a visit?

Oh, yes. Um.

When I turned around to see who it was, my eyes met with Fried.

It's probably a good idea to ask Fried, who lives in the royal capital, to explain it to you.

I'll be fine. I have a turn in the carriage, too.

Yes, sir. Then you'll give Aina and the others a tour.

Nice to meet you.

So, Wendy, Shiro, Aina, Sorte, Renge, and I are the six of us.

Then, if you don't mind, we'd like to take a donation.

This sister's eyes are sparkling.

I see.

So it's called a visitation fee in the name of a donation.

I believe it's only 1,000 nols per person.

For six people.

Then he handed six copper coins to the sisters.

''Thank you. I'm sure the Goddess will bless you.''

I've already been blessed by the goddess.

Or rather, I've been given an 'allowance'.

"Haha, thank you very much!

Well, I can't say that.

And maybe he's a fanatical believer.

The Goddess's name........what was it again?

Then go ahead.

The sisters opened the door and as they entered, they were overwhelmed by the sight at the front.

Neatly and correctly spaced wooden chairs, chalk walls.

There was a huge cross and a huge stained glass window behind it with a picture of several goddesses on it.

One of the goddesses had beautiful golden hair, and I recognized her.

Or rather, the one who had given me the skill.

And she was the goddess who worried about whether that skill was enough for me until the end.

The name ... you didn't hear it, did you?

So this is the stained glass. It's amazing.

It's amazing.

They couldn't take their eyes off of it as it was the first time they had seen it.

It's always great to see.

It's beautiful in the sunset, too.

With the halo coming from the cross, it really does look like a goddess coming through.

...that...

Why the f*ck are you crying?

Wow, what?　I don't know. What is this?

Suddenly the tears start to flow and I can't stop them.

'Master?　Are you okay?

I'm totally fine. I don't know why I'm crying.

Lord, are you impressed?

Yeah, I think so.

I don't know if I ever had the sensibility to be impressed by a work of art.

But that's how beautiful this scene is.

The overall orangeish light made me feel warm somehow.

It's as if this is a blessing from the goddess.

After a while my tears subsided, Sorte, Aina, and Renge headed to the candy shop out front.

Even though there is a wonderful stained glass window, there is not much to see, especially if it is the second time.

I sit in a chair and stare blankly at the stained glass and the cross.

Next to me is White.

I asked Wendy to go buy sweets for White, me and Hayato and the others.

I didn't have anything to do, but before I knew it, it was just me and White and I was tapped on the shoulder from behind.

When I turned around to see if it was closing time, it was a different Sister from the one at the entrance.

It's a pleasure to see you. This stained glass is the symbol of our cathedral. Your tears are rather understandable. I'm sure the goddess will bless you for your piety!

Oh, a blessing, or rather a skill, but I've already received it, actually.

But let me pray with gratitude.

I bow my knees, cross my arms in prayer with my eyes crossed, and say a prayer.

(Thanks for the skills you gave me, I've met some great people. Thank you. I know you are worried about me, but I'm doing fine.)

'Oh, great!　The Goddess has answered your prayers!

When I open my eyes and check in front of me, it looks like a cross is shining... not that I can see it, but the sun must be at just the right angle.

Could it be that he was waiting for the right moment to speak to me for this?

''You seem to have quite a divine spirit!

A divine spirit?

No, wait, that's the glow from the sun's tilt, isn't it?

How do you think you know about my divinity now?

"Yes!　It's called God's presence, God's chi, holy power!　Everyone is provided for, but if you have less divine energy, you cannot be baptized!

'Huh, does that mean I can get baptized and have recovery magic?'

'I'm afraid I don't have that much divine energy in me!　But it's more than the average person, so if you continue to pray, there's a good chance you'll get more divine energy and be baptized!

I see. So, from now on, I'm going to start praying every day.

'No, no!　There's an easy way to make the Goddess' blessings stronger than that!

I'm gradually becoming less and less suspicious.

God's chi?　Holy power?　Unfortunately, holy power wasn't in my cheat selection.

The points of holy power were about the same as spatial magic, and there was no way I could take it.

''........What's that?''

The donation!

....

'What's with the eyes?　Don't tell me you doubt our Sister, a priestess of God!

No........by the way, how much is your donation?

'If you give 1,000 gold coins, you might be able to get baptized!

1,000 gold coins, or 100 million knolls.

Pay 100 million nol and take a chance that you probably won't be able to baptize........

'Oh, it's all right.'

''The divine spirit is suddenly fading!　Brother, the goddess will bless you if you don't do this!　Your blessings will be gone!

It's a skill and it won't go away. Maybe.

I know this.

That's a psychic marketing thing.

You don't say.　

A place that's supposed to be the Cathedral of King's Landing is a psychic business...?

Someone tugs at my sleeve with difficulty.

"Hmm?　What's wrong with you, White?

It smells funny.

Does it smell funny?

Food and drink and the smell of smoke.

Where's this coming from?

That room...

White pointed to a room at the end of the hall with a large cross in front of it, facing left and left.

There's a slight gap, but I can hear laughter, which is apparently not appropriate for this solemn place.

As I walked towards it, Sister blocked the way, but I let White seize her and opened the door mercilessly.

'Ah ha ha!　It's another day of good drinking on the believers' dime!

Right, Miss! ""Ah ha ha ha ha"

.........

Let's close it up.

I'm sure I'm looking at it wrong.

There's no way the sister is sitting on a cross-like object with her feet on the desk, drinking and smoking a cigar without paying attention to the slit.

Come on, let's open it.

'Geehahahahaha!　You're torn at your ass!

'What?　Ahhhhh....I'll get a new one.

On the followers' dime?

""Ah ha ha ha ha"

Galala.

This time it was suddenly closed by a third party.

It was the Sister who slipped away from White.

How did you get out?

It was in my head.

That said, the psychic sister is banging hard on the door with a gong-gong-gong behind her back.

Is that a signal?

Is that a sign?

White. Let's get out of here. This place must be some kind of cathedral.

Wrong place?　Yes. I'm going home.

We were about to turn on our heels as fast as we could.

Because this isn't the place.

It's not a cathedral.

The tears must have come from the cigarette smoke that had unwittingly entered our eyes!

Secure!

" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "

Hey, calm down.

'Lord!　Oh, I couldn't react because I didn't want to kill him...

Oh, he's not going to play nice, is he?　If you keep quiet, you'll both be able to go home in peace and sound.

Thus, me and White were caught by a group of sistah-like something.

Earlier, with purple smoke and booze, we went to a smelly room.
