Chapter 73: In the Name of Honor (7)

No wonder why the plan seemed to be going so smoothly! Everything worked out too well for such a lousy excuse! When did she start playing along? From the beginning? When she brought in Jekers? When I confessed that I wasnt associated with the Queen? When I mentioned the Saviors Order?

Unlike his chaotic mind, Professors mouth spoke calmly.

I swear. I, Professor, swear that until the day my own will dies, I will serve everything I have for humanity.

It was my last pride leaving out the phrase [for the Order] like most warrior oaths did. Damn it, fine! Yeah! My prides hurt! I lost! I completely lost to that snake woman!

After looking down at Professor with a satisfied expression, Senadis turned to the surrounding priests and paladin.

Now, there is a new warrior among us. I do want to spend time to bless him properly, but as the information Warrior Professor requires urgent handling, we will have to make do with a shortened ceremony. The priests and paladins should create troops and head to the Singing Helm tavern at once.

We will follow the lights will.

Latura, Ro Haram.

The priests and paladins left the church as soon as the bishop issued the order. To think that the heretics base was there in front of their faces. They would have struggled to wait that long.

So when they departed, and only Professor and the bishop were left inside the church, Senadis, who seemed unfazed by the oil smearing into her robes, kneeled right in front of Professor and faced him.

I like your quick-wittedness and reaction to solving situations. Oh, Ro Haram. Your will is where I stand. How thankful you provided such a talented one to me.

Without the priests in their presence, the woman started to reveal her true colors. Her voice changed from solemn and holy to a lighter feeling. She had already realized that I figured out her snake-like intentions and decided to honestly reveal them. Well, it was hard for her to ignore it since I was baring my teeth at her the moment the priests left.

Since when did you plan this?

Hm thats a difficult question. It was much too different from the original plan to start with. I dont know if I should say this went as planned or not.

As she said that, she took out a worn letter folded twice over from her robe.

The first time I heard about you was through this letter.

What is it?

Ahah. Why dont you read it for yourself?

After glaring at the woman smiling like a sly fox, he snatched the letter from her hands and opened it.

This

Isnt it surprising? When I first received this letter from the churchs informant, I thought over and over that this had to be fake. Thats only natural since the one that sent this recommendation letter for a certain man was none other than the representative of the knights, Charlotte De Agart!

On the paper Professor held was a description written in awkward noble formality about how Professor was a person that could devote himself to Rodrick and that he was a man worthy enough to become a knight, along with Charlottes seal.

Hhuh?

Not only did she carry me to the church and make a ruckus to save me, but Charlottethe Charlotte left a recommendation letter?

- Soygaybar : ????????

- Speedwagon : Woah.

- Mukaba : Charlottes route is open? That impregnable person?

- Udnam_undam : Is this some weird trend in World 3 where ugly guys are popular?

- Jokass : Ayo, Professors stream just entered the Top 50 ranking on the Community. I think the word spread that he found a way to open Charlottes route.

- G Dating Sim G : Hello everyone. I am from the R19 Play Association, those who want to remember the beautiful past of the world. We give our word of appreciation to the ones leading the efforts to open new paths, and will leave our meaning of thanks here. We hope too meet once again in the future. Thank you.

Player G Dating Sim G has donated 50,000 Shilling!

- takealook : Thats a suspiciously large number.

- Speedwagon : Unlock requirements: Over 30% contribution on the battlefield for the troops allied with the character / Charlotte De Agarts Approval / Almost complete wipeout of the allies. Especially all of Charlottes close troops need to be dead / Player needs to be wounded close to death, and the contribution to the battles up to that would need to be known / After all of the previous criteria have been met, the enemy needs to be driven out and Charlotte needs to be alive. /

These are the minimal conditions from the confirmed information so far. Only an assumption.

- G Dating Sim G : Thank you~

- : Thank you~

- G Dating Sim G : Thank you~

- Bachigass : Thank you~Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

- Olden_One : They say that in the mist are countless geniuses that amount to the stars of the sky it seems that there is one that finally found the path to the answer to the unsolved question This information earned with your life will be used well.

Uh hhmm everyone seems surprised. I was too. I knew that Charlotte was thinking well of me, but not enough to write a recommendation. The representative of the knights herself was trying to pull strings to get me in. Im not completely sure, but isnt this a serious a serious sign?

Professor was in a happy daze, then suddenly frustratedly hit the ground.

Damn it! If only that infection didnt reach an impossible level to treat, then I could have switched over right then to a royal knight route! And maybe even possibly make Charlotte my ally!

Aghh, Im sad. Im so terribly sad. If only I had looked out for myself a little more, then I could have been playing the game happily without going through this mess. A royal knight is an A-rank job. It would have been at least a hundred times easier than this.

Regardless of whether Professor was suffering or not, Senadis continued to talk.

The Lights Order is quite interested in Miss Agart. Its only natural for those who worship the god of light to be interested in the knight thats called the Sun of the Battlefield. At some point, there were even some priests that believed she was a child given by Ro Haram. But to think such a woman personally submitted a recommendation letter for a man. I commanded them to look into you because I thought that was interesting but you know the rest of the story. How would I have known that such suspicious information would be given to me?

Then was the oracle all a lie?

As if I would dare borrow Ro Harams name to lie. The oracle was true. But I did know that the target of the oracle was the Saviors Order. Its harder to not know that it was them, seeing how widespread their name already is across the entire world.

What a c

I wish for your safe return, Warrior Professor. You will find my acolyte waiting outside. You must leave now, warrior. Please, may the light lead your path.

Quietly glaring at the woman, Professor stood up. Even while he walked towards the door, Senadis did not once raise her body from the bow. To Professor, that was incredibly, incredibly uncomfortable.

Well, the last part was nice, so Ill say one last thing for you as well.

Whilst holding the door to the church entrance, he spoke, still facing away from the woman.

Itll be better for someone like you to quit being a bishop. Ive never seen someone talk so much trying to send someone to the battlefield. If you know they cant reject the mission, all you need to tell them is go.

.

What Im saying is, just go back to being a normal priest and serve that light or something. Dont push yourself into that position just to get shoved around by the higher ups.

But the Lord needs me.

My goodness. Ive never felt bad for someone for being so good.

Creaak

When Professor opened the church doors, the bright sunlight outside made him grimace. It was so bright that it blinded him.

Ill close the door.

Bang!

After slamming the door shut, he followed the priest waiting for him off the church grounds.

[ Arent you supposed to comfort a woman thats crying? Thats what is says here. ]

Not this time. Comforting her is useless.

Senadis was crying as she sent Professor off. As if even showing her tears was sinful, she bowed her head to the ground. Even she, who needed to create these plans in the churchs shadows, seemed to be just another pawna pawn that needed to pretend she was corrupt and vile to push someone off the cliff.

I definitely hate people that have to do with ideology and belief.

Pardon?

Ah, Im just talking to myself.

During the entire trip following the acolyte, Professor couldnt get rid of this uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

Where are we going exactly?

There is a small lodging for guests in the back of the church. The people that will be assisting with your mission will be waiting there.

The people on the mission, you say

Professor was lost in thought as he followed the acolyte through the well-maintained garden.

Its a forced mission, but its not completely screwed looking at the situation. It might even be a good chance for me.

This was a death squad thats been made recently, but looking at the overall picture of the events, it was similar to the storyline that the people on the Community were used to.

Its identical to the mission that Player Rank 3, Emperor Qianliu, received. Its the same event.

It was the completely same story progression as the ranker that cleared World 3. Professors playthrough, which had been completely all over the place in the past, had suddenly been set on the right track.

The only problem is, when Emperor Qianliu received this mission, hed already done a bunch of other things and had a decent amount of Hero Unit members with him. Even putting aside the allies, Emperor Qiuanliu himself has god-tier controls.

There are actually a decent amount of people that call Emperor Qianlius World 3 clear data a fake or incomplete clear data. Thats because Emperor Qianliu, this madman, didnt care about any of the future worlds and just concentrated on leveling up his current character, then accepted this death squad mission at the start of the game and overwhelmed the Queens base, and cleared the game.

Compared to that, my current state is a complete joke.

Even if it was near the start of the game, Emperor Qianliu already had enough strength to use his sword to cut down castle walls in just one slash. Looking at the videos, when the sword he had broke, he used the broken sword to create a 2-meter-long sword aura and used his own body to cut down the mutes. As a former fighter-type player myself, I had no idea how he manages to do that. Looking at his moves, the man was definitely another breed in real life as well.

And me, on the other hand?

A body thats useless without mutes blood, and even with blood, I would probably barely manage to reach maybe the heel of Emperor Qianliu. Allies? Theres no one. The only thing Id probably win in is sustainability, since were fighting in mute territory.

Even if he was on the same route, it was going to be impossible to just barrel through as Emperor Qianliu had done.

The allies that are going to be on my team are going to be important though.

If I was weak, then at least my allies needed to be strong. When Emperor Qianliu left for the missions, I believe his allies were the Roam Snake, a legendary archer, and Princess Argaleia.

I dont even want anything big. They dont even need to be Hero rank units, just ones that will pull their own weight. Looking at the situation, theyre also probably guys that are hard for the church to deal with. Just please give me some people I can use!

We have arrived. Im not permitted to enter, so you must go on your own. Your squad members will inform you of the mission details.

After saying his final words, the acolyte left without looking back.

- Soygaybar : Oh, is it another gacha? Ally gacha?

- Noru_is_druig : Church Select, Awkward Introductions Pack. 10 pull lez do it.

- Jokass : At least one of them should be a named character. They need to be strong enough to at least get close to the Queen.

Please! I dont need named characters! Just a healer, mage, and tankerwait no, Im the tanker, so just a healer, mage and dps!

Praying desperately, Professor opened the door to the building his allies were waiting in.
