61 – Shh. Be quiet

The knights liked it more than Iris, the main character of the small dinner prepared for the saintess Iris.

“How long have you been drinking this alcohol!”

“The food the saintess brought tastes great too!”

In temples, meat is usually not forbidden, but basically vegetable-based foods are served.

Also, I couldn’t drink alcohol made from barley or Kaoliang wine, only wine made from grapes.

A long-overdue dinner and drunken knights enjoyed the party without hesitation.

‘As the Marquis said, the food is really delicious.’

Iris also enjoyed dinner with her knights.

Originally, you should have eaten cold food to test the poison, but since this food was made in collaboration with Rail’s party and his knights, he didn’t have to check if it was poisonous.

“The wine tastes the best I’ve ever tasted.”

Because she is a saint, she doesn’t drink much, but she keeps going in as much as her wine here.

The saintess, who was enjoying dinner and wine with her knights, suddenly noticed that there was no person in sight.

She didn’t notice because everyone was enjoying the dinner, but she noticed at once that there were no rails in her dining room.

Where are you going?

Iris turned her head and looked around her, but she couldn’t see the shape of her sunken rail.

Then, as Iris looked for her rail, she saw the figure of a woman named Luna, who was his butler.

“Where is the Marquis by any chance?”

“Master went into the room first because he had something to do.”

“Ah. Okay.”

Iris nodded her head lightly.

She thinks she has a lot of work piled up on the rails and she didn’t even know at first that she would be visiting.

Even though he must be busy with work, he didn’t show much when he asked me to go to the market.

‘I don’t know if I’ve been a nuisance to the Marquis.’

Thinking so, Iris decided to stay out of his way as long as she stayed at Rail’s mansion.

*

A considerable amount of time had passed since the meal had begun, and the time was approaching midnight.

No one in her restaurant could move normally except for Iris, who was sober with her divine powers.

No. Luna, the butler who did not drink, and Fenia, the great sorceress who was strong in alcohol, were slightly blushing, but did not look very drunk.

Iris turned her head to look at her own knights crawling on her floor, already drunk.

“Ha ha.”

She involuntarily let out a deep sigh and slowly approached Lucas.

“Saint. Hello?”

“Yes. Nice to meet you. Lucas.”

Drunk Lucas greets Iris with his tongue twisted.

Every time he opened his mouth, he had to cover his nose because of the strong smell of alcohol.

“They all look very drunk, so take them all to their rooms.”

“A. Saintess. This is Lucas. I mean, the saintess’s escort knight! Do you think I’ll just get drunk on wine?”

“Yes. Because you look so drunk Please go into your room.”

“…… Yes.”

No matter how much he said he was drunk, his opponent was one of only a few saints in the temple.

It didn’t happen that Lucas, who was only a knight, disobeyed her orders.

So, at Iris’ command, Lucas moved her body and led her own companion, who was crawling on her floor, into her room.

“What, what?”

No. To be precise, while trying to take her companions away, she herself also got drunk and lost her mind and fell to her floor.

“Ha ha.”

Uncharacteristically for her, Iris sighed more than usual and looked at her own knights who fell to the floor.

‘…… Should I wake her up with all her divine power?’

It takes a lot of her mana to wake up all her knights, but Iris, who didn’t want to cause a bigger nuisance to Rail, was raising her divine power at that time.

“You don’t have to.”

“Yes?”

At that moment, Fenia, the only one who had been drunk with her so far, stood up from her seat. She

She And she lifts a staff larger than herself and wields it lightly at her knights.

“…… Uh. Uh?!”

Then, the fallen knights, as if fainting, rose into the air at once.

Poof-

Then Fenia swung her wand once again, and the door to the dining room opened, and the knights, floating in the air, left the restaurant and moved to the room where her knights were staying.

“It’s a problem with young people because they don’t know how much to drink and keep drinking.”

Tsk. Fenia, who clicked her tongue like an elder in her neighborhood, sat back down and started drinking the remaining wine.

“Wow… ….”

And watching her, Iris was greatly impressed.

She is great at moving dozens of knights at once, not just one or two, but Fenia didn’t even show signs of getting tired.

“You should also stop drinking and go to bed. Me and Luna will do the cleaning.”

“Ah… , yes. Yes!”

Her moment Iris, who belatedly realized that she was talking to herself because of her short talk that she hadn’t heard in a while, nodded her head and went straight to the room.

It is very disrespectful to speak her disrespectful words to her saintess, even if she is a noble.

However, if her opponent is the one and only Archmage on the continent, things will change again.

And although she got used to it now, Irish, who was still uncomfortable with respect, thought that Fenia’s short talk she hadn’t heard in a while was not bad.

Before entering the room Luna showed me, Iris was sweating as she went to the market with Rail during the day.

She So, she first went to the bathroom, washed her body lightly, and then moved to her room.

“Whoa.”

Unlike other knights who sleep in one room, Iris, who was assigned her own room, lay down on her bed.

“It’s really fluffy.”

She says her status is high, but her shrine is not very rich.

Most of the items in the temple, which are operated with the cash of the saints and the money paid by the nobles, are mostly cheap items.

In addition, the people of the temple live frugally because they had to provide free food or a place to sleep for the poor.

Even her saintess, it was her first time to use a bed made of such a fine cut, so she was greatly impressed.

Maybe it’s because it’s past midnight.

Unlike the noisy restaurant a moment ago, in her quiet room, the only thing she could hear was the sound of grass insects coming through her window.

Because of the quiet sound of nature and the soft bed, my eyes slowly start to close.

‘I shouldn’t go to sleep before praying to God.’

But since she entered the temple, she hadn’t missed a single night prayer and got out of bed.

She then knelt down and prayed to God every day.

From nob le mt l dot com

May no one die in war.

From nob le mt l dot com

May no one lose her family to the ravages of war.

From nob le mt l dot com

May the children never go hungry.

“… ….”

She prayed with a serious look different from the one she had shown a moment ago.

And near the end of her heartfelt prayer,

In the mansion, where only the sound of bugs echoed, low steps echoed.

Jerbug. That buck

It was so small that others couldn’t hear it at all, but she could hear it because she had all her senses better than others.

‘Someone is awake at this hour.’

Normally, she would have thought that she was the step of a butler or maid guarding her house, but she opened her eyes to the fact that there was only one butler in his mansion, Luna.

Tired of cooking for herself and her dozens of knights until late at night, she led her to her bathroom and went straight back to her room.

Fenia also went back to her own room, taking her remaining wine and her cup.

‘Then who is it?’

If by any chance her own knight was lost in her mansion, she rose from her bed to help him.

And in case there was an intruder entering her mansion, Iris used her Holy Spirit powers to erase as much of herself as possible before opening the door.

She said that there were dozens of knights beside her, but in preparation for unexpected danger, one of the skills she honed was stealth-type magic.

And Iris assured me that her stealth magic would never fall upon anyone.

Kikik.

She cautiously opened the door with a small sound, and Iris muted her voice as she walked cautiously to where the footsteps had come from.

Jerbug. That buck

The constant sound of footsteps stopped in the middle.

It seemed that the owner of the footsteps had reached her destination.

Iris sped up her steps a little more and moved to where her footsteps had stopped.

After a while, I began to see human figures in the corridor on the first floor.

Only then did Iris find the owner of the footsteps, hide his body, and stare at him with only his head slightly sticking out.

And standing there was Rail Bioland, the owner of the mansion.

‘Why is the Marquis standing over there?’

Rail was standing in a daze in front of an unknown room.

Then, moments later, Rail raises his hand to knock at the room, then lowers it again.

For some reason, Rail was hesitant to knock on the door.

He stretched out his hand toward the door once more, then lowered it weakly again.

Reil let out a deep sigh and turned his head to return to the hallway.

‘Huh? Can’t you come this way?’

No matter how confident she was at hiding her face, she couldn’t hide her face until right in front of her.

So, she hurriedly moved her body and quickly hid herself.

But right now Iris is standing in the middle of the hallway.

Currently there was nothing she could cover her body with.

‘I have to hide quickly. I can’t see where to hide!’

Of course, even if she gets caught by Rail, there’s nothing wrong with her.

But if Rail finds out that she has been following her late at night, it will cause even more trouble for Rail, who is already busy.

Jerbug. That buck

Sadly, even as she searched for her hiding place, the footsteps on the rails grew clearer.

And after a while, it was the moment when the feet of the rail were visible right in front of me.

‘Eup?!’

Then someone made Iris shut up.

She hurriedly turned around at the sudden situation.

However,

‘Mo, I can’t move!’

She struggled desperately, but her body did not move at all.

At the moment Iris felt fear in an unknown situation, a woman’s voice came from behind.

“Little boy. Stay still and don’t move.”

She calls herself a little girl, but the owner of her voice is quite a bit younger than herself.

And for some reason, a familiar voice.

Iris barely moved her eyes and looked at the owner of her voice.

And there is a young white-haired girl who has easily penetrated her own stealth magic.

The Archmage Fenia was standing there.

‘Shh. Be quiet.’
