Chapter 18-The demons of the church and Marina's blow

(TL:By Rafael)

I switch places with Nene and peek inside the church.

The crying that had been heard earlier had stopped, and the surroundings were silent.

"......?"

The candlelight flickered in the darkness.

I wondered if there were people there.

I can't see them.

...... No, there is something.

In the far end of the church, where prayer symbols are normally displayed, there was something strange.

"What the heck is that ......!"(Yuki)

I whispered to myself to steady my mind.

It was so eerie and unfamiliar.

"Is that a baby?"(Silk)

I was at a loss for words as to how to answer Silk's question.

After all, it was so far from reality.

Sure, it had the shape of a human baby.

But it was too big, with its lifeless pale skin.

Its head alone was as tall as I was.

(TL: Damn...reminded me of resident evil Village the dollhouse mission)

As an adventurer, there are many opportunities to encounter things that are incomprehensible, but this was just too different.

"Is it a baby giant?"(Marina)

"No. Giant giants are born human-sized and grow to be huge. Babies are never big from the beginning."(Yuki)

"That's great, Yuki! You know your stuff."(Marina)

I scoffed at Marina's praise in my mind.

If I hadn't known that, I might have been able to make light of the situation.

"Let's get out of here."(Yuki)

Just as I was about to leave, the eyes of a pale baby caught my attention.

(Did he notice ......?)

After a beat, the baby, who was looking at us with empty eyes with only black ones, began to cry out loudly.

"Aaaaahhhh! Aaaaah!"(Baby)

I couldn't help but cover my ears at the high and loud crying that seemed to shake the air.

Perhaps influenced by the crying, the flames of the candles that had been lit went out one after another. ...... Twilight light poured into the church through the stained glass.

A sense of discomfort swelled in me and made my body tense.

Why would the candles go out and the room become brighter?

No, why hadn't I noticed that in the first place!

Even in that small bay window apartment, the interior was bright, so how could it be dark inside a church with stained glass windows like this?

"Yuki-san that!"(Silk)

Silk guides my gaze as she holds up her bow.

Beyond that, there was a new weirdness happening.

There are people standing up slyly under the twilight light that shines in through the stained glass windows, which is even somewhat divine.

Were they unnoticed in the darkness, or did they seep out of the ground like a rouge?

Either way, a dozen or so strange women had appeared in front of that huge baby.

Women in nuns' uniforms with twisted and knotted heads.

They looked like mannequins with bad taste, but they were coming at us with a clear hostility.

(TL:Run Yuki Run , it's the Nun)

"What is happening. ......!"(Yuki)

While swearing, I wielded my reinforcement magic.

There are so many of them, and you never know what they're going to do.

"I'll intercept them!"(Silk)

"Me, too!"(Rain)

Silk and Rain shoot arrows and magic.

Through the gap, Nene swung a small sword at the woman in the nun's uniform.

"Aaaaah! Aaaaahhhh!"(Baby)

In the meantime, the creepy giant baby continues to cry ...... and calls the woman in nuns around it.

Oh, my God, that's the source.

"Magical Arrow 《Energy Bolt》!"(Yuki)

This is the first time in a long time that I have used an offensive spell to attack a baby,......, but the woman in the nun's uniform jumped out in the line of fire to block it.

"Magical Arrow 《Energy Bolt》, Magical Arrow 《Energy Bolt》"(Yuki)

I shoot twice in a row, but the result is the same.

So it's both a means of attack and a shield to protect you.

But now I can guess. If I want to get out of this situation, I'll have to kill that giant baby.

"Marina, can you do it?"(Yuki)

Yeah, don't worry about it.

Marina drew her black sword and held it up to her eye-level.

"I'll put in full reinforcement. I'll support you."(Yuki)

"...... So I just have to chop off that baby's head, right?"(Marina)

"Yeah, kill it."(Yuki)

"All right."(Marina)

(TL:If UNICIEF gets hold of this....you don't know me and I don't know you.)

With a small exhale, Marina raises killing intent.

I'm disgusted with myself for being a jerk and asking a girl to kill a thing that looks like a baby, even if it is a monster, but the best way to kill it is to leave it to Marina, who has the most breakthrough power.

I'm going to give Marina a high level of strengthening magic.

As for me, it's a bit of a drain, but it's better than being worn down by the nun-robed monsters that keep popping up.

"I'm going ......!"(Marina)

Marina, strengthened by the full Haste, took off with the speed of a loosed arrow.

As if they knew what I was aiming for, the women in nuns' uniforms swarmed around Marina, hitting her with debuff magic to stop her, while I ran after them.

"I'll cover you."(Nene)

Nene, who had passed me, wielded a small sword and joined Marina's dewdropping.

"I'm going to kill it, Yuki!"(Marina)

"Ok!《Critical Weapon》"(Yuki)

Marina's black sword, which gives off a terrifying aura of "Magic Sword", is given a one-shot deadly enhancement magic.

Marina swung a large sword with the momentum of her lunge.

"Ahhhhhh"(Baby)

The flash caught the huge baby.

TL Note- Well the baby died......creepy....don't tell any child protection organisation and has anyone played resident evil Village?
