Part 4

They arrived at the plaza that was at the center.

There was a small isolated chapel, and people were standing scattered and were praying.

──As expected, I’m a bit tired.

Ever since they entered the Grand Chapel’s district, they had mostly been running.

Since he had been holding Lumachina in his arms the whole time, even Diablo with his stamina was slightly out of breath.

Rem was bewildered.

「……What is up, with this town!? They’re lining up with some high-pressure good will.」

「That’s a good thing.」

Shera smiled looking delighted.

「It’s good -ssu neー」

Horun was the same. In their hands, they held the bread, manjuus, and grilled skewers that they had received.

In the end, the carriage was entrusted to Rose.

「I did not feel any hostility towards Master. However, it is unsettling that there are so many people idly approaching .」

「Those people are loving their neighbors.」

Lumachina spoke for them to explain their feelings.

Rem tilted her head.

「……Rather than loving……It felt as if it were out of some sort of sense of duty or obsession.」

Shera asked a question.

「Haaー, I’m worn out. Where is the Inner Court?」

「Then entrance is over there.」

What Lumachina had pointed out was a church that was at the center of the plaza.

Putting it bluntly, it was small. Most likely, not even one hundred people could fit inside of it.

Some magnificent stained glass was fitted into it, and the red door had an elegant sense to it, but that was all it had.

However, since there were believers and people carrying luggage going in and out of it at times, it didn’t have a feeling of being on the decline.

Shera knit her eyebrows.

「Isn’t it small?」

「It’s more shabby than I thought -ssu.」

Even Horun went as far as to say that.

Certainly, if one thought about how this chapel was the most important building of the Church in the Lifelia Kingdom, it was quite unsatisfactory.

Rem also tilted her head.

「……That shouldn’t be the case, right? That’s the entrance? Ah, could it be, does it extend out underground?」

「It’s up.」

Diablo turned his gaze.

Going *Eh?*, Rem and the others looked up at the sky as well.

A white sphere was floating in the sky.

「EHHH!?」

Rem was astonished.

From there, a platform descended, and vanished into an area that seemed to be the small church’s courtyard.

After a short while, with people and luggage onboard, the platform ascended.

It entered inside from a hole at the bottom of the sphere.

「The Inner Court that is up above and the church that acts as the entrance are connected with that floating corridor.」

Lumachina gave an explanation.

Rem’s eyes went round.

「……Wha……Did you say……a floating corridor!?」

「It’s floating -ssu! That’s totally awesome -ssu! Won’t it come falling down -ssu ka!?」

「It is because it is a miracle of Kami-sama.」

「Wahー, amazing! It really is amazingー.」

Shera seemed to be surprised, but her response was light. She’s a girl that isn’t all that concerned about things.

Rose looked up seeming bored.
