1131 58, Site of the Holy White Exalted Church

The day after Chiara's graduation ceremony. I will take my mother and Marie to King's Capital. Of course I have Alec with me, Ko, and Kamui. I hear Chiara's leaving in a few days.

Crossing over the Muriema Mountains makes me want to stop at Baron Speciale's. But I don't have time for that this time. It's a straight line to Wang Du.

Arrival. I have Alec today, so I can go through the gates for nobility. Smooth without waiting time.

Pick up the carriage appropriately and head inside the king's capital. Should I show my face to the Zematis family first, or should I look at the crime scene...

"We'll split it up. Me and Marie will go to the Zematis first and explain the situation. Kirth and the others look at the site of the Order. And then by evening, you'll be at the Zematis' house, right?

That's a good idea, Mother.

"Ok, I will. Then we'll walk from here. Say hello to your aunt.

"Yeah, I'll see you later.

Well, the denominational site? That's because it's the first place in the king's capital. I wonder if there will be any new buildings. I guess I can't. I saw the royal family building something to the extent of camouflage because of the nasty stuff in the basement.

Oh, I see it. Whoa, there's a building. There's even a gatekeeper.

"Hi, my name is Curse Martin. What building is this?

Ask questions, of course, while showing the King's direct ID.

"This is the Royal Institute of Magic. Outsiders are off-limits."

Oh, my God? Is such a thing made? I wonder if this is the jurisdiction of the court magician. I saw that Brother Gaspar or your mother Conne would work. Well, it's going to be resolved with the king's voice.

"Who is the director here, by the way?

"This is His Excellency Gregorius de Zematis."

Uncle? That's increasingly convenient. I guess Tzu or rather your uncle is taking the initiative to study the poison of the ban. Bad guy.

"I see. Thanks. I think I'll be back. Say hello then.

"Come back."

You feel like a knight loyal to your duties. I'll be back. Just remember my face, okay?

I have nowhere else to go, so I head to the Zematis family. I'd really like to stop by the Spioslide Chamber of Commerce to buy spices, but I don't have that much money. If I give you a piece of white gold, you'll blow up about 70% of all your wealth.

"It's a strange building. There are no windows at all and no decorations. It's like I want to keep something locked up.

Yes. A normal building should have a fence first, and a building inside it. But this place is suddenly a wall. It's all covered with walls.

"Obviously it's for containment of poison, I guess. Your uncles want to use that poison.

You can't be thinking about purifying that poison and protecting the lives of ordinary people. You're supposed to want to use that as a stepping stone to get even the fierce poison of god killing. Ah, no. But you're on a comforting side.

"Even though it's that poison that nearly killed the former king..."

"That's why you won't even be able to leave it. You have to be able to detoxify it.

So far, I'm the only one who can detoxify that, but it's not weird that a cleric or court demon mentor with God's blessing can. But in my case, it's a blessing in exchange for magic. It's impossible for an ordinary person to provide that much magic. That's a tough part.

Well, we're at the Zematis house. Shall I exchange information with my aunt?

"Welcome, Mr. Curse. Welcome, Alex, Koh, and Kamui, too. Isabelle told me more or less about it. You're a hard worker too..."

"It's been a while, Auntie. I was surprised your uncle was the director. I would love to have your cooperation.

"Of course. Curse, you've got a lot on your mind. I'm sure it'll be good for each other. Of each other.

I know. I'll do my magic too.

Starting tomorrow.

In what way does the General Bishop suffer? I'm sure your name is... did you say Jean or something?
