Chapter 306: Gonesse ́s saint

In the meantime, we restrain the Gonesse knights with steel threads and contact Princess Sarah. Then Garou-san and the knights came immediately.

"Princess Sarah told me what was going on. But still, it really is Robert, isn't it? And they're the ones who ran away during the zombie raid"

"According to Ribina and Sephone, it looks like they're being manipulated, so I've neutralized them for now"

"I'll take them in for the time being, because they used to be knights belonging to my company. Thank you for not taking their lives. And that little girl over there"

When Garou-san says this, the girl who is approached takes off her hood. The girl was a junior high school age girl in a nun's uniform with short blond hair and blond eyes.

Now which Valkyrie?

"My name is Jeanne. I am a citizen of Gonesse. Will you shelter me in Freetia?"

I didn't expect to get a celebrity name. But they mentioned something about execution, so it makes strange sense.

Jeanne is probably Jeanne d'Arc. She was a hero who saved France during the Hundred Years War between France and England.

She is also famous as a tragic hero who was finally convicted of heresy by the Inquisition and died by fire. This verdict was later overturned and Jeanne d'Arc became the patron saint of France.

"Well, we were wrongfully admitted to Freetia. You'll have to come with us one way or the other. We'll hear what's going on at the castle. I'm sorry, but you're coming with us"

"I understand"

But the border is loose, isn't it? I heard later that it's physically impossible to protect all the borders. There are overwhelmingly not enough knights to protect everything in the air, on the ground and in the water. It's only natural.

We listen to Jeanne's story again at Freetia Castle. First, Princess Sarah asks a question.

"First of all, are you sure that you are a nun of Gonesse?"

"It's different. I am a citizen of Gonesse"

She's dressed in full-on Sister's garb.

"Then what is your occupation?"

"? What is an occupation?"

This...is going to be a long drawn out process. But it's a valuable opportunity to learn what's really going on at Gonesse. I have to ask.

"You didn't do anything to earn money, did you?"

"Then I prayed to God every day"

"That's...very nice of you, but that doesn't pay the bills, does it?"

"Thank you very much. Ah! Thank you once again for rescuing me when you were in danger too!"

"I, I just did what I deserved, so don't worry about it"

Jeanne's smile is hard!

Jeanne then leaves the room and everyone discusses the situation.

"Once again, we saw how extraordinary Gonesse is"

"It's more than I could have imagined. What's in it for me if I get paid just for praying?"

"At least I ain't contributing to the economy"

I could understand if this was working and donating to worship at a house of worship, but she's not even working. It doesn't make sense. I feel like if she doesn't have to work in the first place, she doesn't need the money either. If you pray, you get food. I feel like that completes it.

"What does Takuto-sama think about Gonesse?"

"It's an eerie country with no clue what it is. But the fact that the knights of Freetia have had their memories falsified, that Ribina and Sephone have sensed the power of darkness and that they were not invaded by zombies at all, I can only think that it is suspicious"

"Is it likely that Druj Nasu is in Gonesse?"

"I don't know. But if Druj Nasu can falsify memories, it would be strange if she didn't use it when she came to Freetia Castle"

Brass-san speaks.

"If all of us had indeed had our memories tampered with, that would have been the end of Freetia at that point...so either the conditions for memory manipulation were not met, or it couldn't be done"

"Or it has nothing to do with Druj Nasu at all"

I nodded to Princess Sarah's words. Although I find it suspicious, I still vote that Druj Nasu has nothing to do with it. But then, who would the other party be? This is the story.

There are many demons that manipulate humans. It is difficult to judge at present.

"In any case, I'm sure Gonesse won't keep quiet about this one"

"I'm sorry. For bringing trouble into your life"

"It's all right, because a knight of Freetia is involved, albeit a former one. Rather, thank you for not taking his life"

"I already said that, didn't I? Princess"

Garou-san was beaten by Princess Sarah. Now, I have to tell everyone this information.

When I returned to Liebling, everyone was gone. Apparently they were busy with the upcoming event. It was no use. I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to talk about it.
