68-068-Too suspicious

--The time goes back a little further, before we left for church.

[St. King's history, 128 years, yellow moon, early morning, 13th of the 13th.

Good morning, Kanata-sama and Elena-sama. ........What is going on?

What I saw in Marinella's eyes when she came to visit my room at the inn was me sitting upright on the floor while lazily shedding cold sweat for some reason, and Elena looking down at me with a straight face while standing on her knees.

''Oh, good morning........''

"Good morning.

Oh my God, what the hell is going on...?

Now, how did this happen.......the point is, after I went out for a drink to West Street, Elena woke up.

Although she had left a note, there is no way that Elena, who was in a half-crazed state after I suddenly disappeared, could have found it, and so she half-heartedly searched the area around the inn, apparently in tears.

And when Elena came back to her room when she was exhausted from searching, I came back with a carefree blush on my face, so I don't need to tell you what happened next.

It is certainly my fault for not seeing the note. I'm also grateful that you were able to enlist Marinella-san's cooperation. ........but that's not the same thing!　Why are you leaving me here alone!

I'm sorry...

Seeing us like that, Marinella suddenly tilted her head.

''Huh?　Speaking of which, where are the little ones?

Satsuki and her friends are back at home.

So there are two now?　Last night?

'Yes. And then he left me behind!

.... ah, that's what I mean!

Pomp.

Marinella must have guessed something, because she clapped her hands and looked at us and let out a weird laugh, nuh-uh.

''Oh no~ It's youthful, it's ubiquitous. I feel like writing a song with you guys~

Please don't do this!

Spinning my knees around 90 degrees in the direction of my knees, I lower my head to Marinella while rubbing my head against the floor.

Seeing Elena, who was scowling at that, Marinella let out an ishish and also a strange laugh.

''Oh well, Elena-sama, please forgive Kanata-sama for once. This person has a great deal of love for you, you know.

"What?　

interchangeable

interchangeable

After receiving a detailed explanation from us, Marinella immediately agreed to help us.

However, since there is no guarantee that there is no one in the church who knows about the identities of Elena and I, we dressed up as a warrior and a wizard respectively and infiltrated the church under the guise of being Marinella's bodyguard, and that's how we got to this point.

''Well then, I'm going to go into rehearsal now, so please take care of yourselves.

'Yes. Good luck with that, Marinella.

Okay.

Marinella replied cheerfully and left her luggage in the corner of the waiting room and left the room.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what's going on.

''Well, let's start gathering some information, shall we?

Uh!

For some reason, Elena squirmed and raised her voice.

'What's wrong?'

''Well the reason why Kanata-san went out alone at night is because Marinella-san told me and I just...guessed it.

'Oh, um...'

I guess the point is that he understood that I went out for a drink because I was alone in my room, but I'm embarrassed when he says it again.

'Well, thank you for your concern. But.........

?

'I won't hate you if you push me around a little bit... right?

!!!

Her mind went blank after she was hit by a sudden bombshell, but Elena, who was the one who did it, quickly put her hands up and said, ''This is the end of the story! I said, and then I spun around and turned around.

I don't know what he looks like in black clothes to begin with, and I don't know what I look like in black clothes.

''So, so, so, let's go then!

'Oh, oh, oh!

For some reason, Elena was in a hurry, and we went out of the room with her in the lead.

＜The main chapel of the Central Church, the first floor corridor.

And now we're getting to this point, and it's not a simple matter of gathering information in the church.

Why?

'Heeeee!　.........Oh, you're Marinella-sama's guard, aren't you? Good job!

(Sniffles)

Because of his too suspicious appearance, people who pass by him in the corridor scream all over the place.

However, it seems that the person who responded to Marinella first had told everyone, and it was at least a relief that the second word was a reaction that knew our identity.

.........Well, I could feel an amazing gaze on my back after we passed each other, so it seems like I'm definitely being gazed at.

''So far, there's no one suspicious from Elena's point of view, right?

Yes, sir. We're all human priests, and if there's anyone who looks suspicious it's going to be us.

Yeah.

Me and Elena should have come to find out about "two suspicious white-clad people coming in and out of the church," but we've found two "black people with too suspicious an appearance" who look even more dangerous than that.

I'm very sorry to add to the anxiety of the uninformed sisters.

''Whoa, whaaaaaaahhh!

And another poor, terrified lamb........what?

Who are you?

Steen!

The girl who called out to us in a frightened manner apparently sat up and fell on her ass in surprise.

But we were acquainted with this girl.

'Oh, Cologne. Sorry to have startled you.

!

Colon jittered around the floor in fear, looking like it was the end of the world.

'What's wrong?'

'Hi, hi!　Help!

!

The cologne suddenly screams and I'm upset as well.

Then, Elena looks flustered and bashes my steel helmet.

''Maybe Colon-san doesn't realize it's us!

Oh, shit!

Maybe they hadn't all gotten to the "two of Marinella's guards" thing yet!

Impatiently, I pressed down on my cologne's mouth and opened the door of a room that was suitably close to me and jumped in with Elena and locked it!

Then he immediately takes off his iron helmet and explains.

'It's me, Oleo!　Kanata Kanata!

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...?

Colon, who was teary-eyed and let loose, then looked at Elena, who had taken off her black hood, and began to ramble and cry, as if she had lost her nervousness.

'Bieeeeeeeee, that was so scary!　I thought he was going to kill me!!!

Ugh, I'm sorry...

You'll encounter two suspicious people, and when you think your name is called out suddenly, you're brought into the room with your wings wrapped around you... it's natural to be frightened.

When I was bowing my head in a daze, for some reason Elena was looking at me with jaded eyes.

.........aren't you used to it?

Hey, will you stop being so awkward?

No, though it was certainly surprisingly fast for me!

As such, Colon was smiling with a troubled look on his face as he looked at me, black and white with his eyes, as I was being thrown a ridiculous amount of suspicion.

Then Colon regained his composure and bowed his head towards me.

''I don't know why the two of you are dressed suspiciously, but I'm sure you came because of the matter I had to discuss with you, right?

'Yeah, I just had a chance to come to the church under the guise of escorting an acquaintance, and I came to gather some information to see if I could find out anything. But it wouldn't be convenient for me to gather information if I ran into someone who knew me and Elena's identity, and I had to hide my face. It seems that the person who responded was notified, but from the way Colon reacted, I'm guessing that not everyone was notified.

Yes, I just got back from a trip to the city, so...

.........And just as we spoke up to that point, we heard a voice talking from the hallway behind the door.

--Did you get permission to investigate the east forest?
