Chapter 409

Episode 409: I am here (4)

“Everyone, step back! “That damn devil!”

“yes? “What is that...”

I followed the two people in the back row to take care of Frederick. As the commotion has grown, people are gathering loudly on the streets.

“Please step aside for a moment!”

“I am the Heretic Questioner. Get out of the way!”

However, the combination of the two Heretic Questioners was powerful. People retreated from Daniel and Maximoyak, and when they spotted me, they retreated even further. The road opened in an instant.

“Is there a problem!”

“Welcome, priest! “This person is the devil!”

“yes?”

There were two people at the center of the commotion. And it was the Shagi tribe who particularly raised their voices. “It’s so absurd.” The opposing team, the Middle People, slowly began to show their displeasure.

“What is that...”

“Please calm down and explain the situation.”

“That person tried to seduce me. It must be the devil!”

“No, priest. “I’m innocent!”

“I told you two to calm down.”

Daniel and I both frowned at the Shaggy’s remarks. What kind of temptation is it?

“That person. “What did you do?”

“I... I just picked it up for you because you dropped something.”

“Don’t lie! “You didn’t just take care of it, you even chased me dozens of meters to give it back to me!”

“No, then you leave the item alone when it’s so obvious!?”

I became speechless as their conversation progressed. If this is a world where such simple good intentions are dismissed as temptation, then there is simply no answer.

“...Is everything like this on the northern front?”

“...I don’t know either. “It’s my first time coming here and seeing it in person.”

I wonder if Daniel and I were at a loss for words due to the shock that seemed to shatter our common sense. Maximoyac skillfully led even this foolish incident to a resolution.

“Such mild acts of kindness are not considered temptation unless they are repeated. So right now, I think it’s a misunderstanding on your part.”

“but...!”

“Brother, are you okay?”

“Yes, well...”

“You may be very surprised, but it’s not your fault.”

This is... the northern front. I watched the incident come to a conclusion, feeling that the influence of the great devil of lust was more serious than I thought.

Indeed, the people living here also had hardships in many ways.

“great job.”

“You worked hard.”

“Oh, it’s no big deal. “It’s something I do all the time.”

“...Do you think this happens often?”

“It doesn’t happen every day... but it’s not rare either, right?”

Maxie let out an awkward laugh at my words. I could tell without saying how deep the suffering was hidden behind it.

“Don’t worry too much though. “Someone died a while ago, so it’s like this. Normally...”

Maximoyak trailed off as he spoke. Usually? Looking at our expressions and just smiling shyly, it doesn’t seem that much different from usual. It’s probably just a difference in frequency or something like that.

“What is it about people dying?”

“...one of them persuaded them both to go to the devil’s station.”

“...Could it be a civilian? No, even if you were an adventurer or a soldier, it would be suicidal to enter the demon area with just the two of you, right?”

“What...”

This is worth knowing. I could guess how they would end up, and I put the pancake that was still in my hand to my mouth. The contents spilled a bit when running, but it was still tasty.

Pushpushpush.

Additionally, Frederick started eating my hair. It was a warning to hand over the beets.

“I don’t know if I live with a horse or a master...”

“Hahaha! How about it! “That’s such a cool thing to say!”

I wiped the drool off my head with the handkerchief that Daniel gave me and eventually took out the beets. The thickly sliced beets disappeared between the horse’s cheeks.

“I just finished eating the pancakes. To calm my startled mind, shall we go for a drink of bangsho next time?”

“Bang Show is good.”

“There is also a bell tower nearby, which is the pride of this city. It is the best to drink vin chaot while looking at the scenery from up there.”

“I’m looking forward to that.”

If it’s the bell tower, Frederick could be hung underneath for a while. I returned to my seat with a hopeful heart. It took some time because the place I was going this time was located a bit far away.

“See that over there?”

“That’s the bell tower.”

“It’s bigger than I thought...”

“Let it go! Sarah!!”

“Come to your senses!”

“For a moment...”

I grab the temple symbol and raise my sacred power. The woman’s struggles gradually decreased due to the emergency measures taken by the two people. It was then that his eyes, which had been driven to madness, returned to a bit of calm.

“uh...?”

“Are you awake?”

“Are you feeling okay?”

“Who who?”

“I am a priest.”

The job title of Heretic Inquisitor has a fiercer, rougher, and more intimidating tone than that of a priest. Perhaps that was why the two men, who presented themselves as priests, made the woman sit properly. The bell tower was not very wide, but it still provided enough space for four people to stand.

“Sister, do you remember climbing the bell tower?”

“yes? The bell tower... huh?”

“...I think it would be best to go down first.”

Did he finally realize what he was trying to do? Or, even if he couldn’t remember, was he still in his right mind?

The woman looked around at us with a pale face and then recoiled. Looking at Ina’s trembling body, it didn’t seem like she was scared, but rather cold.

fluttering.

“Go to the Bangshow store. “It seems that what a lady needs is warmth to control her heart.”

If you’re barefoot in pajamas, it’s natural that the first thing you feel when you wake up is cold. So I took off my fur cloak and wrapped it around her.

“Thank you....”

“It seems difficult to walk barefoot, so I will listen. “Are you okay?”

“yes yes.”

Additionally, he picked her up with one arm. It was fortunate that the cloak was large. Even her feet were carefully covered, and her face looked much less cold than before.

“Eggplant... why does it look like that?”

“If you come to our branch, I will treat you well. “Are you not interested in becoming a Heretic Questioner?”

“Maxi, don’t say weird things. And thank you sir. Thanks to you, it’s not too late.”

“It was something that had to be done.”

I tried this because it felt strange, but I was glad that it was the right decision in the end. Even if I was on the ground, I would have been able to catch it, but catching it before it falls is different from catching it before it falls.

“As expected, the stairs are narrow. “Go down first.”

“yes.”

“Oh, if it’s okay, could you go to Frederick first? “I asked someone nearby, but I’m worried.”

Not Frederick, but the person I entrusted it to. Daniel lowered his head with a serious expression on my omitted remark.

“I’ll go first.”

“Oh, that’s right. If your horse is stolen, you will be in trouble...”

“No, that guy killed a thief, not a guy who would be stolen.”

“yes?”

Instead of explaining in detail, I decided to just go down the bell tower. 3 It was a four-story bell tower, so it didn’t take very long.

[uh. I failed.]

[Did I do it right?]

[Do you think I’m a half-finner who can’t even do his job? Did you do it right?]

[If you did that, why did you fail?]

[The vessel of anger got in the middle. The timing was bad, and the priest was right next to me.]

[Oops.]

[It’s not my fault because it was a coincidence, right?]

[You’re trying to dodge responsibility in a brilliant way. But yeah. Objectively, it’s not your fault.]

The faceless devil stood up quietly.

[But at least I know this is effective...]

Where the devil is looking, the purple-haired Sland tribe and the grey-green-haired Qurety tribe are fighting. As if they had just finished praying at the temple, their steps head toward the temple’s exit.

[Shall we get down to it?]

[Hey... wouldn’t this be too explicit? If you attach someone to all the talented people...]

[It’s okay.]

The devil handed over his robe. Then, a girl with light pink hair and light green eyes appeared between the dull robes.

[If you take away the stress I get from that, I could kill at least a third of them.]

[Ugh... I wonder if that’s really true...]

[It’s possible, Belphegor. These people are like a glass of water on the verge of overflowing.]

[Even if you say that, I’m not in charge here... I don’t know. You figure it out.]

And the girl riding the donkey right next to the girl with light green eyes quietly He rested his chin.

[Lilith, even arrogance doesn’t say anything about what you do.]
