516 At a later date, seven of them, "At the End of Foolishness."

- At the church (a knight's point of view)

"Gu......"

I fell to the ground after being struck off my shoulders and stroked.The face of humiliation warps too much.

But surprise prevails over anger.

Oh, that's pathetic.

Calmly... instead of changing his tone, the man who rolled me to the ground squeezed his shoulders like he was in trouble.

"To that extent, will you be named a knight?Well, when you're acting suspiciously, you may be pretending to be a Barakshin knight. ”

"W... rude! I'm not a fake!"

But it's too weak.

At the end of the day, the man turns his gaze toward contempt.... it was our defeat to underestimate this man.

Excuse me, but what can I do for the church?

It was the man with the most beautiful face who said such words.Simple but good quality fabric garments... I don't think they're from the church.

There is no reason to be foolish.I was caught by my uncle's pocket money and came to the church with my companions... because it was a threat.

Since the church began to make saintly priests its chief executive, the faithful have become very cynical.

Previously, those who were in love with the nobility of the church ruled the church, and this request passed through without difficulty.

That's all gone. No, 'the priestly man has refused the demands of the nobles'!

"How ungrateful you are to receive a donation...!"'It would be natural for there to be a certain number of angry people.

There is also the purpose of "fighting against the royal family", and it was undoubtedly a donation from the church nobility that supported their lives.

Even though they should know that, they joined hands with the magicians of neighboring countries, saying, "Faith is personal freedom, and it is not used for political affairs."

As a result, the current church is shaped to be protected by the royal family.The people in the upper ecclesiastical section, who were gracious with the church nobility, were beaten up by the saints and the believers who supported him.

At the same time, some church nobles who were protested by royalty and mages in neighboring countries were punished, and church nobles were greatly cut off.

Those who were purely devoted to faith were a great deal of damage to the nobles belonging to the faction who were fighting with the royal family for power.

In the meantime, my uncle invited me.'Shall we let that cocky saint understand his position and draw the church to our side again?'

When it comes to saints, they are priests.They don't have the status of royalty or nobility, and they don't have much connections. ”

The exception is the connection with that mage, but that mage is protected by the neighboring country.

"If you don't have a connection with people from other countries, and if you don't have a connection by faith, you can't bypass them."

I see, I'm convinced.Certainly, without a mage, you don't have to be afraid of being a saint.

In the first place, the previous incident was the foolishness of the prince who had given birth to the side chamber - to be precise, it started with the protest of the nobility of our country against what had been done, and the mage would have come to Barakshin in the form of an escort of His Highness Elshion.

If we don't do anything extra, I hear it's just about Lord Felix. It was an insult to Lord Elshion that made the mage angry!

Without such anxiety elements, no matter how much pressure we put on the church, no magician will ever travel.Even if you come, you can just stand back and say that it is a matter of interference in internal affairs.

That's why I caught up with my uncle.I thought the church was a little cheeky these days.

And yet...

"If you say you are still a knight, be careful what you say and do."You do dress up as Barakshin's knights, but your actions were suspicious of the Church itself. "

"Ki... what right did you have to blame us for!"

When one of his companions shouted so, the man smiled fluffily.

"There was a 'request' from the saints and their companions."I want you to protect the believers who do not like to fight. "

What?

“I heard that the Saints are being offered expensive liquor and meal entertainment by some religious nobles, backed by donations.My companion, worried about his friend's current condition, offered to serve him expensive drinks and meals. ”

"Shit, that's what I'm talking about."

Apparently, the saint had a hand that we didn't even know about.I'd say he's a wealthy merchant or an aristocrat.Is this your bodyguard or your friend?

In a flash, he ran his gaze toward the figure of the man who didn't lose his leeway.

The long blonde hair was beautifully maintained, and the gentle expression was disgustingly arranged.Although his body was slender, he had firm muscles, and even if he were an aristocrat or a knight, it would make sense.

I just didn't think he was a knight.The reason is simple: I'm not from this country.

If you look like this, it will definitely be a rumor first.I have never heard of such a story.

But it was also unlikely to be a knight of another country.In the first place, there is no reason for knights from other countries to go out of their way to visit the church.Faith is unique to this country.

If you're interested in saints, you can gather information and send someone more discreet.It is a bit unnatural to say that "knights and nobles from other countries came to visit with curiosity."

... but this man's real power came from here.

"Rather, you guys aren't like knights."There's no way a knight could unleash a sword in the dark.Not to mention the threatening use! I will wield in the name of the Lord, and to protect the people.Barakshin's knight has a friend, but he is also proud of being a knight, and the knight does not go. ”

"Hah, a beautiful thing!"

"Isn't it nice to be pretty?"In the first place, the Knight needs to be prepared to be painted with blood.It's up to the recipient to take it as the [guardian of the nation] or the [murderer]. "

“Whether you wear mud or not, the underlying cause is unwavering loyalty.Sometimes it's necessary for the sake of the country, like the craftsmanship of royalty and nobility. ”

- I don't need to be recognized.As long as it is the result of the Lord's will.

"...... ah"

"What you're trying to show is just violence."I can't be proud of anyone, and I don't think I'm right.... what's the difference with a criminal? "

"That's....."

"In the first place, even if they come upside down and attack us, they are rolling gently onto the ground."I have to say, my ability to make situational decisions is scarce and my ability to fight is low. ”

"Damn... I thought I said something that you stirred up!"

Crying too much in remorse, the man laughed even deeper to stir us up.I can't refute it because it's true, and I just hate the smile.

Yeah, yeah, we were fools on provocation.I'll admit it's true.

But his strength was out of standard.I grabbed my arms, removed my shoulder joints, and rolled them to the ground!

Certainly, there is no bleeding, and there is nothing like injury at first glance.However, it is very painful when the shoulder is turned back.

I took the trouble to do that... I don't think he's got a good personality.

With a cool face, he said, "You can't kill and maim in church," but I think it's definitely to make us taste humiliation.

In fact, all my friends are moaning in pain.I am being spoken to by a man, and I am continuing the conversation as a result of the atmosphere in which silence has to be forgiven.

"What are you guys doing!"

When I was thinking about it, an unexpected voice resounded.

But... that's not our salvation, it's a reminder of a worse future.

"I'm sorry I'm late! Are you all right, Master Argento!"

The harsh expression and voice turned to us, and it was the Third Prince of this country, His Highness Levins, who rushed over to the man with an ungrateful face.

Of course, my people must have been confused by this.Although he spends his time as a knight, he is of course a member of the royal family.He shouldn't be on a mission to come to the church.

Why is he here? More than that, why does this man care about the prince of our country?

The two of them are having a conversation about us fading blue in a different way than the pain in their shoulders.

"It's all right. Oh, don't worry, there are Mizuki at the saints' place."We will do well according to their needs. ”

"Sure, she'll be fine."But who the hell are these guys? "

“It was from outside the church.That kind of person was a suspicious person, and the church was anxious, so I called from here.As a result, well... I've been struggling a little. "

"Huh...? I wonder what you've been doing."

"I heard from the saint that" [If you don't obey, you may also exercise your power] ", so I became vigilant.It seems true that I am a knight in this country, and I apologize if I am too early. ”

With all due respect, man... Argent's words are full of malice.

While politely explaining the situation, he says that he acted on behalf of the church... and he even shows his willingness to apologize.

This is totally bad treatment, isn't it?Whether you're injured or not, it can be difficult to protest.

In fact, His Highness Levins and the knights he brought in had a harsh expression, and even if they made a mistake, there was no sign of defending us.

"Levins! What kind of person is this?"

As he asked with pain, His Highness Levins looked dumbfounded.

"It's Argento Bashre of Ilfena?"As the name suggests, it belongs to the Duke of Bashre. "

"That's..."

"Fufu, I didn't feel the need to introduce myself, so I skipped it.But I just said, "I have a friend in the Barakshin Knight."As you can see, it's about His Highness the Levins. ”

I'm glad to have you as a friend!

His Highness Levins is happy, but I'm not happy about that.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. So

"Oh, you're wondering too, so I'll tell you."My companion is Mizuki... the mage who was active in the last incident. "

Ehhh...

"I think at the time of the 'friend that the saint can rely on', it will be quite limited."

I'm going to lose my words this time because of what Argent said.

So, my uncle was dealing with that mage.What kind of situation are you in before the magician's liquor and food...!

"You will take me to the Royal Castle."Damn, you did something stupid.If you're ashamed of Irfena, you'll be severely punished. "

……

I understand the sweetness of His Highness Levins' words, and I feel nervous.There is no brighter future for my uncle than ours.

His Majesty knows what he was doing to the church, and so do the wizards and the people of the duke's house of Irfena... even if the royal family is not considered to be tortured, severe punishment must be inflicted.

Otherwise, that mage will come out with some sort of revenge.We gave you that hook!

"Ah, brother! You're here!"

"Oh, Felix! The Argentines have captured the suspect, so we're good to go."Tell everyone. "

Yes!

I can't even hear the smiling brothers.Before she raised her face with a faint look, Argent smiled gently.
