70-070-Heavenly voice that I can't hear when I ask

[In the evening of the 15th day of the 15th month of the Yellow Moon, 128 years of St. King's life]

＜St. Metropolis Central Church, Archdeacon's Office.

It's true!

How wonderful!

Seeing the two people in white robes rejoicing with joyful expressions, High Priest Zwei was smiling as well.

Although, he is always smiling no matter what time of day it is.

''Yes. I received official permission from the messenger just now to investigate. We will form an inspection team today, and from the day after tomorrow, starting the day after tomorrow on the seventeenth, we will explore the holy ground in the Eastern Forest accompanied by the Kingdom Knights.''

Oh, the day has come...!

Well, we'd love to be part of the delegation!

'Of course. I'm expecting great things from you two.

At Zwei's words, Nestal and Wagner revealed their joy.

''And there is one more piece of good news,''

Good news?

"A man named Kanata, who previously thwarted your plans, was captured last night by the knights of the realm and imprisoned in a dungeon.

What did you say?

"It seems that he was planning to overthrow the state. The irony is that the man who saved the princess is now a felon.

The two of them are surprised at the fact that the man who ruined their plans is now imprisoned in the same dungeon as if they were interchangeable, and Zwei laughs with a funny smile.

''After all, God must be in favor of reclaiming the Holy Land.''

It's a miracle it must be a divine miracle!

We will have our sanctuary back in our hands when the time comes!

"Yes, I'll be looking forward to it.

There was a very cold "something" behind Zwei's eyes as he laughed like that, but the two people in front of him didn't notice it--they didn't notice it.

[That same night]

＜Central Church Monastery.

Colon was stunned in his room when he heard the other believers talking.

'How could this be the right time...!

-- A man in shifu and a woman dressed in white, hiding in an inn, were arrested on charges of treason.

Although the names were not revealed, it was clear from the features obtained from the testimony of church officials who witnessed the moment the man and woman were captured that they were Kanata and Elena.

Were those two men terrorists plotting to overthrow the state...?

No, it can't be.

Because there is no way that someone in such a dangerous position would reach out to you who suddenly appeared.

"Could it be that I've found out some secret...?

In fact, it is known that I was investigating the background of the suspicious pair of people the high priest brought with him, and as an example, he captured his collaborators, Kanata and Elena... or so it seems.

If that's the case, then I'd like to know what's next.

bang-bang

Huh!

Suddenly, there was a knock at the room.

'Yes, who are you?'

The voice in Cologne's ears as she struggled to keep her voice from trembling and asked the question was the one she didn't want to see the most right now.

'It's me,'

Grand.........priest........

Did they know you were on to them?

No, we haven't decided that yet!

Calm ... calm!

Why, it's...

If it was my sister (Sharon), I am sure she would always be calm at times like this.

People called her a saint and hurled very harsh words at her sister, but what kind of a saint is a fool who is about to be overcome by a weak heart at a time like this!

Colon, who welcomed the high priest into the room while gulping down the urge to cry, bowed deeply, keeping his face down so as not to have his expression seen.

I'm sorry for the suddenness of this. To tell you the truth, I have a favor to ask you.

H....yes?

"As a matter of fact, the day after tomorrow, our church will be sending a delegation from our church to the Eastern Wood, our sanctuary, and we would appreciate it if you, a saint, would accompany us.

What?

I was expecting to be blamed, but I didn't expect it to be a request for cooperation.

Then, it wasn't like he noticed that I was looking into it...?

Or maybe you've noticed and are trying to call me out on it!

No?

Hey!　Because this is a unique opportunity to go to the holy land where it all began!　I'd be happy to oblige!

'Thank you. Well, I'll be leaving tomorrow morning, so I'll be looking forward to seeing you.

The high priest said and returned the kibisu and left the room.

I slumped to the floor after making sure I couldn't hear the footsteps anymore.

''God....what in the world am I supposed to do.......?''

Although Colon muttered anxiously as she prayed, the revelation did not reach her.

[Furthermore, on the same day and at the same time]

＜royal castle of platena, the dungeon.

'Ummm...'

So I'm currently locked up in the dungeons of Platena's royal castle!

I thought they were going to hold a trial because they said the complaint was........and now they are imprisoned.

And when you reach for the iron door.....

Locked by permission level 3.

It's just like when you are hit by an electric shock spell to your fingertips.

In fact, this is a security shield that uses the power of a god to create a magical barrier.

The sacred spring that trapped Elena was using a super-powerful version of this is used, but to break through a ward like this, you need a very strong key-opening skill.

''........No, I can actually break them....

The strongest unlocking skill, Unlock Zensch, has the power to break even the authority level 5 door of the Cave of Death, which leads to the Land of Everlasting Darkness.

Naturally, this door, which was two levels lower than that, would be easy to destroy.

However, it can be destroyed....

Breaking out of the castle's dungeon or something, that's too serious a crime.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of people who are willing to pay for your services.

I'm sure I've broken into the castle in the middle of the night on the back of a dragon, as well as broken through the locked door and stormed into the king's bedroom, but the main culprit of that was Princess Priscia, so it's unlikely that I would charge her with a crime.

There is a possibility that Satsuki may have done something else while she came to visit, but at any rate, Priscia will be able to help you.

It's shameful that I'm relying on others, but there's nothing I can do.

''In other words, we'll just have to wait and see...''

By the way, Elena was taken to another room, but I didn't hear any commotion, so she didn't seem to be rioting.

Well, if Elena were to gallantly appear in front of me with the sound of an explosion, it would be the start of "Kanata and Elena's Great Adventure Chapter 2: The Escape," so I can only hope that it won't happen now.

''By the way, it's been a long time since I've been imprisoned. Well, the last time I was captured like this was since the last time I was a prisoner of the Imperial Army~~

What are you mumbling to yourself...

What?

I was suddenly approached from behind the iron door, and I couldn't help but scream in a bare voice.

The story of your capture by the imperial army is very disturbing, but right now we need you to answer a few more questions.

Yes?

And I answered the question from the other side of the door without understanding it well.
