90 Episode 86: Rapid Change

One room in St. Amritate Cathedral.

Originally it was a room where sacrificial objects were stored, and now a woman's cry rose in the room where various documents were stored instead.

"What are you doing!?" Please stop! "

It is the younger sisters of the year who raise their voices of condemnation with tears.

She is a poor Motomura daughter who was forcibly summoned from an idyllic rural area in Southern State and ordered to keep various approval documents in this room for some reason.

"Yes! Hurry up, now is not the time! You can clean it up later!”

"Such a shame!!"

Against Atu, the heroic sludge of ex-Mainogula.

She ignores the frightened but desperately resisting Sister's voice because of her sense of responsibility for God-given work, and turns the paperwork upside down.

A bundle of documents well organized by a Sister who did not know that she would seriously pull out her hand, now untied in pieces by the Atu, dancing through the room like a snowstorm on paper.

A pile of paperwork from one to the next, already finished.

Perhaps the time will come when you will need them, and the past, which you have arranged cheerfully until night, will pass like a running lantern.

What the hell did I do? Tears filled the Sister's eyes, and it was time to finally reach the limit.

"Mr. Fenne! This way!"

"Ahh! Get down on your face!"

A helper appears to move the situation.

My colleague Sister, who was also tasked with organizing the paperwork, brought Fennel, a face-down saintess, to me.

The person known as Atu, who is now repeated in this room, is a very difficult guest.

It's not in the official chain of command, but when you try to force something on her that's important to Renéa, you need an order from the Saintess.

"However, I didn't expect you to bring me a saintly lady who is too busy to catch her every day..."

The Sister offered her thanks to God and wept in her heart a little earlier.

Despite the mourning of the Sister, Fennel, who saw this sight, could not stop his mouth from opening to his misery.

"Atu... what are you doing?"

Fenne also understood that he was interested in some of the materials from the past.

Even so, it was too shoddy.

You should know in agreement with Atu that the current situation is one in which Renéa is still pressing.

She, who was supposed to be one of us, was deeply perplexed by the fact that she was doing more work than she could get tired of doing.

Listening to his intentions and thinking that in some cases it was even necessary to preach, Fenne took a step and entered the room...

"-Oh!?"

Atu reacted to the action in a strange way.

"...? What's wrong with you?" You're a little weird. "

It was a clear rejection.

No, is it suspicious?

Having met various people as a saintly lady and having gone through various experiences in the past, Fenne is very sensitive to such attitudes and emotions.

It was easy to understand that Atu was suspicious of us, but we didn't know why.

The brainwashing done by GM has been solved... nothing.

If so, she will immediately turn her blade to herself and attempt to kill all living things here.

When it comes to doing that, it's just flipping through past materials.

Rather, it seemed more correct to judge that I had first noticed something hidden that I had not yet noticed. "But..."

"Fenne, can you... prove that you are really who you are?"

"... heh?"

Fenne could not understand the meaning of the words suddenly asked by Atu, and suddenly a fervent voice leaked out.

The more the question broke down, the more the question turned her heart into an upset.

"Is it a philosophical story? Or is it theological? I don't have time right now, so it's not a case of asking such questions....."

Answer with a little thought.

I can't read your intentions, but I can't tell you why you won't listen to me. By the way, it was unexpected that she would bury herself in the realm of deep thought in search of her own way, but she would still listen to her companions.

"Me too!" Ah, no! This is too much trouble, Takedou-san! Fenne! Come here for a second! "

"Ah, hey, don't pull me..."

I thought, but Fenne's predictions were off when I saw Atu bothered and exploded alone.

On the contrary, she changed her attitude and this time she pulled herself into the room.

"Look at this."

With no time to complain about anything at all, Atu quickly showed off some documents.

Although it was Fenne who checked the document in a strange manner, he immediately realized that it was a familiar format.

"This is the order I gave you." It's about the Knights, the operation of each village, and... what is this? "

The order of the Holy Maiden has a certain effect.

Their position, which is entrusted to them directly by God, is very delicate, and for those who believe in the holy god Aaros, the word is treated as equal to that of God.

Therefore, in order to convey the word correctly, the record is always kept as a document based on a certain form.

To this day, it was administrative because it did not interfere with the transmission of the order system and the order content, but it is true that the words are left as a record without any change in each word and are approved based on the confirmation of the person.

And one of the commands she handed over and confirmed was given directly by the faceless saint.

All the special stamps and the autographs are from Fennel himself.

But... it's impossible.

"...... I didn't write anything like this"

Fenne had no memory of writing such a written order.

"Hey. Kanchan." So Arena-chan, don't you know? "

Fenne, who was puzzled by the unusual situation, called out from the entrance of the room.

Did you hear it from somewhere, or did you happen to stop by? Erakino peered into my face from the entrance of the room.

"Ahh... are you interrupting me?"

Erakino pulls his face against the misery of the room and hurries back to his heels to escape the trouble.

But fortunately, Atu and Fenne dragged us into this, and they immediately began to discuss how to deal with this strange anomaly.

………

……

…

The sisters are to be evacuated and strictly forbidden to enter the room.

In the messy room where the sacred demons gathered, Atu and Fenne carefully examined the contents of the instructions issued by themselves with a strange look.

“There are multiple inconsistencies in the instructions. Scheduling of meetings, etc. - the schedule was also tampered with. Fenne, how did you manage the area?”

"As for the schedule, I'll leave it to you." When I was told that, he said yes without question. It was an unfamiliar job for us in the first place. "

Showing off a piece of paper, Fennel replied, shaking his head in bewilderment.

Everyone understands that the recent hectic workload is due to the fact that the clerical layers of the organization have slipped away.

Some parts of Fenne and the work in front of her were clear, and the Holy Maiden does not exist to run the organization in the first place.

The task is to perform ceremonies for the comfort and authority of the people, and even to defeat the true miracle that God brought upon his external enemy in the event of an emergency.

Rather, it is close to a miracle that Fenne and Soarena have pulled the country this far.

Therefore, there is no reason to be blamed for not questioning the content of one's own work because of the daily busyness.

There is a great contradiction in them, and even if their confusion is deliberate, we cannot blame them for not realizing it.

"Erakino. Who are you?"

"In the first place, Erakino-chan is a free man, so she doesn't work very much..."

The Erakino is also the same. She is a witch and a top soldier of GM.

It does not exist to run the organization, nor is it created in that way.

If GM had had such a setting attached to her, it would have been different, but the situation with the girls was unexpected.

And the only Atu that can handle this situation... has long since been removed from Renéa's center of gravity because of its origins.

"Then continue to ask questions." Don't you think there have been so many mistakes lately? "

"That's because everyone will be busy." The master also said that he would tell me if there was any trouble... "

"I agree with Elakino." Especially in my case, it didn't seem very welcoming, and I thought it was being avoided. ”

Conflicting documents. Among them, Fenne judged that it was not his own, and it was made to feel moderately authentic.

Rather, even the problems they missed were arranged to be properly handled, and in fact people's lives were improved, and the authority of the saints was higher than ever.

But... there was obviously only one thing I was aware of on my side.

It was crafted in such a way as to cut as little time as possible for them to gather and exchange words.

It's as if they say their wills and opinions don't taste good when they're united.

“Clearly, someone is tampering with this document. I'm pretty sure it's Takudo, but... let me refrain from explaining the means. I'm not sure yet."

"Where is the purpose?" I'm sure this will get in the way of our actions. I never doubted it until you taught me. Atu, you said before that the purpose of the Doomsday King is your own. Does this have anything to do with getting you back? "

"With the Knights killing, we have used GM abilities sporadically. If Takudo-sama is trying to identify those laws for GM countermeasures, it's true."

“It means confusing us and finding gaps and countermeasures in our actions. I'm sure, but is that really all?"

Fenne recalls his memories.

Indeed, with regard to GM's abilities, I remember that several studies were carried out to resolve the Knights Killings case and to complete the presumed defeat of Ira = Tact.

Among them, various information emerged, and sometimes the Soarer was pressed by GM to come down to this world to solve problems.

On the other hand, Fenne was negative about the opinion, saying that it was better to stop working to get a better advantage by hiding. Since then, the relationship has been so broken.

Not so long ago, I was openly arguing and revealing everything.

But... all this is being done in secret, and the selection is being done with great care.

Soarina, Fenne, Eraquino, Atu, and occasionally the Paladin Commander Fjord.

All of them are trustworthy people, and it is clearly stated that they are "the person" in the GM's investigation that has been carried out obstinately.

Of course, it was well prepared for eavesdropping, and it was perfectly defended by the miracle barrier used by the Saintess and the eavesdropping by the authority of GM.

If the Doom King is secretly rooting and operating in this land, there is no way to know its contents.

That's why I had some doubts that the purpose of GM's ability was speculation.

And most of all, the power of GM's [Adjudicator] is not what it would be like to know.

Looking at Fenne's silent thoughts, Atu closed his mouth with something.

And I just divided up this topic and made a brief conclusion.

“Either way, we need to raise the alert level. Either that or cancel all appointments - uh, cancel and let's all have a seat at the table. Hey... no, if my predictions are correct, it's quite an unpleasant thing to do."

"Yes, that's right. Anyway, don't let them understand that we've noticed." I'm sure there's some kind of trap out there. We need to get ahead of ourselves before we get into action. "

First of all, we will need to unite our wills and exchange information with each other.

The saints Soarena and Knight Commander Fjord are not present here.

Especially when it comes to the fjord, it is considered to be in a rather unpleasant situation. While in the closest position to the saints, they are acting in a different way that can be said to be half-arbitrary from their pride as knights.

Those forces, along with the Knights of the Slaves, are indispensable for Renéa, and they are by no means in the hands of evil beings... "

Fennel and Atu have become more critical, and their awareness has already shifted to the battle.

The five senses are sharpened, and those who do not allow any alarm for everything that will happen from now on will try to move.

But the last person on the scene to lose momentum was the witch Elakino.

"Um......"

With a somewhat pale expression, she leaked out her voice as she squeezed out.

It is important to share a sense of crisis, but as far as I can see from this reaction, it is not.

Although her and GM's vulnerability to unexpected events can be expected from previous events, this reaction seemed to be different.

"I was working normally, and I thought I was just busy--"

And fear spreads... "

”So, So Arena-chan... where are you?”

This time, Atu and the others turned their faces pale.

”- Erakino! Roll the dice!!”

Atu shouts.

Elakino's expression switched to the words, and she rushed to close her eyes and asked GM for help.

Result: The location of Soarena is unknown.

―――――――――――――――――

The result is the worst word.

Watching the moves, Atu and Fenne understand the severity of the consequences with the weeping look that Erakino makes for the first time.

The absolutely inexplicable reason for the Knights' murder now turns to the Holy Maiden.

"Why!? Well, what's going on? Why can't I get an answer? So Arena-chan shouldn't have anything to do with it!?"

"Game Master! Can you identify the cause of the error?! One or eight, please contact the system!"

Words screamed with a rash.

Sometimes, however, such irreplaceable deeds can be punctured in the first place.

The answer was revealed here by a coincidence.

[Event name]

Track down the Knights' serial killer!

―――――――――――――――――

But truth does not always bring light.

I-It's an event!?

As a result, Atu accidentally screams at his head.

I came here because I understood that the sticky hunch I had always had was real.

I've heard of the word event more than Takudu. Indeed, it was when Mynogura was made to suffer and the heroes of the defenses were torn apart.

But that's impossible! It can't be!

No - it's possible! If you're a hero of (...) (...) (...) (...) (...)

"Do you want to imitate that much!" Unnamed Evil God !!

Atu shouts.

I should have known that name better than anyone else... a terrible hero whose name doesn't exist, but who has vanished from memory like Kasumi.

An existence that is opposed to the God of Light, who is said to have created Atu.

The player of the game, that is, the person who is considered identical to Illa = Tact.

The name of the god of Mynogura in Eternal Nations!

"Game Master! You can hear me, right?" Call someone here who knows where Soirina is! I'll be right there! "

With Atu's confusion elsewhere, Fennel calms down and releases his next move.

Having already grasped the nature of the repeated spheres of influence of GM abilities, she attempted to exercise her abilities to the extent that they did not directly affect the event.

And the guess is exactly correct.

Instantly after the words, a Paladin appeared with a glowing effect.

"Ugh! What's going on?!"

"You--the intermediate Paladin who was promoted the other day." Things will be fine later. Answer me about the location of the Saintess Soarina. "

The Paladin looked around with a sudden surprise.

However, I immediately grasped that something serious was happening to Fennel's bloodthirsty state, and I forced my confusion to be suppressed and answered my questions.

Huh, yes! I was wondering if you were at the site of the Old Cathedral.

"Why are you in such a place!?"

The Paladin's expression on his face is that he said or didn't say those words.

However, the expression was similar to Elakino's screams.

"Well, that's why... the Commander of the Knights has some kind of secret conversation." I don't know the details just in case they tell me. ”

Apparently, the words were slowly getting weaker and weaker.

He's probably the only one I know.

He must have been responsible for keeping me informed in the event of an emergency.

The site of the former cathedral is the church that was used before St. Amritate's Cathedral was built.

Its history is ancient, and the cathedral is a decaying wooden structure that has only slightly enlarged the common church.

Since it has been long since it was used up and there are no dismantling costs, why are you two in a place that has been abandoned for a long time...?

You don't have to tell me the answer.

At last, the demonic hand extended to the soirée.

"Let's head over there right away... perhaps you've noticed the interaction."

Fennel nodded to Atu's words, and Erakino sighed in small breath.

"No, maybe... I'm already ready."

Atu shouted loudly in his heart.

"What an ungrateful and ungrateful thing to say..."

The mind fluttered, and the terrifying thoughts ran around in my head.

"Brace yourselves. The opponent is...... Ira = Tact"

In a squeezed voice, the saintly woman and the witch decided to nod silently.

At the same time, it was understood that the word "disaster" was the very word that we would be dealing with from now on.
