17 1. Archbishop Arcia's Liaison Council

(I wonder if it will be over soon, meeting (this))

Arcia sighed softly to avoid being noticed around her.

Rotosilt kingdom, Sejour, king's capital.

Underneath it was a temple gathered by those who served the Truss-Sink God.

Originally Truss-Sink itself was a minor faith compared to other gods, and furthermore, the very doctrine of studying magic and praying for peace after death was applauding closeness.

The only visitors to this temple, with the exception of clerics and researchers, are those who buried relatives in the catacombs.

That deep place.

Ten or so people were gathered in a room where the decorations were eliminated, which would have no five metres square.

There are rare magicians who excel both in science and divinity. Necromancer experts and those who assimilated flesh to monsters of another dimension. True, unique and diverse attendees.

There is one thing in common.

From the neck, that you are lowering the sacred mark of Truss-Sink.

"Falve's Arcia"

The Cardinal in the Moderator role - the General Manager in the Rotosilt kingdom, which is superior to the Archbishop - urged the Alcia report.

The eviction of the Book of Nothingness (Caios Evil) has changed the environment and treatment not only of Valtrude. Alcia had also changed her position in the Truss-Sink Church considerably.

Traditionally, as just an adventurer, I was as far away as my rights and duties were, but when it came to settling down on Falve, it wouldn't be the way it was before.

"The Temple of Falve is operating well. The clerics they sent are doing a great job."

Once every few months, together with the other Tras-Sink bishops, archbishops, gathered from all over the kingdom of Rotosilt, they must take part in something like a debriefing.

(They gave me the cost of building the temple and people, so it's cheap to this extent...)

With the Temple of Helenonia in Valtrude focusing on police functions, the Temple of Truss-Sink was responsible for charitable activities such as cooking and clinics.

This is an unusual activity for the Temple of Truss-Sink.

Sometimes it is because other temples, such as Fermina, the Sun God, are taking place, but the followers of Truss-Sink are generally held back by underground temples to study magic and drill their knowledge.

Alcia herself is getting routine help from the clinic. Of course, unless there is more to it, general practice is not treatment by divine magic, though.

"During the battle against the Book of Nothingness, we will soon be working on analyzing the magic equipment (magic items) and spells we have acquired."

Arcia is not involved in this.

Rather than, I'm not interested.

The beloved daughter of the goddess of death and witchcraft does not feel important in the study of witchcraft like a common believer, even if she loves and worships Truss-Sink.

"Then, I'll submit a new magic kit and a sample developed in collaboration with the Great Mage (Arch Magi) later"

"Hmm..."

For the first time there was a clear reaction from the bishop in line, the archbishop.

In particular, the name of the Great Mage - Yut is in effect.

(The reality is, it's a magic tool for sewage treatment...)

Just to say new, is that welcome? Or do you want to eat up at the next debrief?

(Let's try to get some rest next time)

Because there is also a Return spell in Divine Magic, it is possible to travel instantly to several designated locations. That's why it's so hard to make excuses, but we have to do something about it.

"That's it."

I didn't even give you yawns that I was working on such a plan, and Alcia finished her report with dignity.

Later, just wait for time to move on to the future as you pretend to be listening to others' reports.

- That was supposed to happen.

"It's Alcia from Falve. From the Church, give it a mission. This is also our general thrust"

"What is it?

In the words of the Cardinal, Arcia gives a strange look.

But because of the red eye band, it doesn't pass around.

The look on Alcia's face would be about as good as the rest of us.

And the quest was about those fellows.

…………

After hearing the content, for plenty of minutes, Arcia manages to squeeze out the answer.

"I'll give you time to think"

It was nothing but a hold.

"Alcia, what's wrong?

"... no"

Yut's office.

An end-of-day debriefing that sometime became customary. A nominal chat about checking each progress and scheduling for tomorrow and beyond......

It was Arcia who denied Yut's caring words, but Yut noticed for a few moments.

"Something's wrong with me since I went to Wangdu last time. By the way, both Val and Jonah agree"

"Usually you're dull..."

"You worried about me and you think I'd be cursed? What about that as a priest?

"The priest is a human being, too."

Yes. Because you're human, you're sent on such a mission.

"Right. Simply put, it's Yuto's fault..."

"What's that? I have no idea..."

The idea is definitely off target, but Arcia kept quiet. I know it's an eight hit, but it also feels good.

I sat deep on the couch and poured wine into the glass.

"Well, I think it's a burden on Alcia..."

Says Yut as he sees Alcia like that half-eyed, but that's not true.

If it's a burden, this one's letting you carry it unilaterally.

"The Temple of Trus-Sink has me doing the clinic, and I've left the management of the family registry to derive from the management of the cemetery. They'll be busy running your business, but they're taking on complaints from the village..."

"That's nothing, it's not a big deal. I leave practice to the clergy."

"I'm jealous..."

"But because of that“ health insurance "thing, the clinic's busy."

"I know it's better if you're free, but I'm glad you think you're taking advantage of it"

"At first, though I didn't understand it at all. The results prove it."

"It was a normal system in my hometown. I didn't want to be able to give up my life with gold."

Being selfish of his own, Yut admits.

Indeed, so far, “health insurance” has been in deficit. The same goes for medical treatment, but it costs too much to prevent fraud, such as insurance cards and identification.

"I don't know what to say, but it's not a big financial problem. I think it's a great system."

"When you can say that, yeah. Honestly glad. I can light it, though."

"Unless the crime scene is a big deal"

"Can you stop putting on that kind of och!

"I don't like it, funny stuff"

I wonder why.

What makes my mind lighter with this kind of interaction?

"Make a baby."

So I brought a secret.

"... Yes?

"The great man told me. He said," Make a baby. "

"Sexual harassment? Powerful harassment? Hey, that's not true, Arcia."

Speaking of excess, I repeat words that Yut makes no sense in a rough tone to the rest of the content.

"By the way, the other guy is Yut."

…………

For plenty of minutes a stale yuut manages to squeeze out the answer.

"Give me time to think"

That reaction was exactly like mine, and Arcia accidentally laughed out loud.

"Oh...... That's crazy."

"I don't think you're about to laugh? If I'd spoken alcohol, it would have been a disaster, wouldn't it?

"Right. But you know what my problem is, right?

"I don't know what I can do."

"That's not true, is it? First of all, Yuto will marry Val, won't he?

"Suddenly, there."

The view of love and marriage between modern Japan and the fantasy world was too large a gap.

"Then I'll focus on parenting as a side chamber."

"That reasoning is strange"

Yuut holding his head on the couch.

This direction is not good. So I decided to change my spear tip.

"Alcia, let's calm down. In the first place, why is it such a lame story?"

"Experiment."

"Experiment?"

"Yes. Young Great Mage. Plus, visitors from different worlds. Such a child with him and a goddess loved by the goddess of death and sorcery. Can't help wondering how many talents you're born with?

There will be no more bombs.

I reopen it in a way, and Yut is also in wine - I don't have any other decent drinks, so I can't help it - wet my tongue.

"What do you think will happen?

"I wonder if genetics are that convenient. Well, there's a good chance you'll get an English talent education... I wonder if we can have children with different worlds as a fundamental problem"

"Yut is negative, isn't he? And there's a half with Giant, Dragon, Angel, and it's okay there, isn't it?

"I know that... You can't affirm it in the first place."

"Really? That's why, don't you think?

"Unless you're going back to Earth."

"... Shit"

"Now I hear a tongue pounding that I shouldn't hear, though?

"I'm a friend."

In other words, neither Valtrude nor Alcia have accepted Yut's return, but they are not convinced, and they are not going to choose the means if given the opportunity.

The only way to do this is for Yut to laugh bitterly, too.

Instead, it would be a lot more dangerous if I answered properly.

"Well, if Arcia Xu seems to be at a disadvantage in this matter, you can make me a bad guy. Worst case scenario, the Temple of Truss-Sink can leave Falve."

"It won't be good, it's"

"I don't mind, Mr. Arcia, it's more important."

"... ok"

Alcia took a seat when this man learned to rejoice in the attitude of a younger boy who was too good, swallowing it all with wine.

Later on, Alcia reported that she was "continuing to persuade" on the matter.

More possibilities and choices are better.

I mean, that's what happened.
