58 – Home visit (1)

Due to the character of the saint, who is a healer, her abilities are below average in all aspects except for healing magic.

Even in the Hero Saga game, except for the exceptional amount of mana, it wasn’t very good in terms of physical strength or tanking.

Because of the single heal that is activated in the range, there are not many aspects where the tier has gone up a few steps.

Since she is a precious healer, Elaine’s existence is also indispensable in the game.

“Hmm.”

I am currently sitting on a bench in front of the dormitory and looking up at the sky blankly.

After last night’s notice from Bella that classes would be suspended for the time being, most of the students were stranded in the dorms.

It’s nominally for the safety of the students, but for safety’s sake, they’ve already sent them back to their hometowns.

The real purpose is to suppress rumors about Mephisto.

As long as the knights have already visited the academy, rumors will spread, but there will definitely be a difference in speed between what the students say and what the knights say.

I walked slowly through the grounds and headed towards the main entrance of the academy.

It was a ban on going out within the academy as a whole, but I was allowed to go out as an exception.

Still, it must have meant risking his life.

‘It’s like Bella cares.’

No matter what Bella said to the school principal, permission to go out was easily given.

When I first saw him, he was a person who seemed like he couldn’t understand what he was asking for, but he subtly helped me well.

I don’t know what’s inside, but right now it doesn’t seem like she’s hostile to me, so I’m calmly accepting her favor.

Even in the game, if it wasn’t for Altair, he wouldn’t be a traitor.

“Well? It’s Altean.”

When I reached the entrance of the academy, I ran into Aaron at the main gate.

Seeing that there is a chair next to him, he must be on duty today.

“Are you on duty today?”

“Well, yes. Are the students well in the dorms?”

“As usual.”

“I don’t see anyone coming.”

You’re on duty and you can’t come out.

Aaron, who has a muscular body, is difficult to approach easily.

I felt a force that would bend my back if I said one wrong word.

Of course, I know what kind of person Aaron is, so even so, his face and size are difficult for most students to approach.

Aaron seemed to be a little more excited when he was talking to me, as if he knew that.

“Are you going out at all?”

“I have some business to do.”

“Originally, we shouldn’t have sent out even one student.”

“Unfortunately, I will be an exception.”

“right.”

Aaron lets out a sigh of regret.

“Well, I’ve heard of your contributions. They stopped the demons at the forefront.”

“This was only possible with the help of Instructor Bella and others. Of course, I wouldn’t have been able to do it alone.”

Fortunately, everyone in the seat got along well.

Had I faced it alone, it would have been me who would eventually collapse from exhaustion.

“In any battle, it is important who always stands in front. Since he held on strong, he would have been able to focus on the attack with peace of mind from the rear.”

“That’s right.”

“Ha, I don’t deny it. Come in early anyway. You have already changed your clothes.”

Right now I had taken off my academy uniform and was wearing a plain white shirt.

It was because of Bella’s advice to wear other clothes because it would be difficult if he was caught by the Knights while wandering the streets.

“Yes. Instructor Bella told me not to wear a uniform.”

“I guess so. If you are unlucky enough to be caught by the Knights, you will be taken away.”

“Is that enough?”

“Academy students are important witnesses. It’s also a job to send those guys who come to the principal every day to hear what he has to say.”

Somehow, I saw a lot of knights in the fortress.

Was Adelie protecting the students from those guys?

“But isn’t it right to reveal the identity of the demons as soon as possible? If you’re late, you never know when he’ll come back.”

“I guess so. The school principal had already gone to the imperial palace to discuss this. Actions will be forthcoming soon.”

“Stay still until it comes out. That’s what it is.”

“Besides that, you never know how the students will spread rumors. There is nothing wrong with being careful.”

That’s right.

At this time, nothing can cause more confusion than misinformation.

As I left the front door, I lightly bowed to Aaron.

“Then I will come. Have fun on duty.”

“OK.”

I walked out of the academy, leaving Aron behind me as he smiled and turned around.

―We give them accommodation and meals, but as Miss Elaine knows, we can’t be like this forever. In addition, I am not healthy, so I am also receiving treatment.

―If Miss Elaine came to the church, things might change.

I walked for tens of minutes while remembering the contents of Elaine’s letter not long ago.

Relying on my memory, I was able to arrive at the dark alley where I had followed Elaine.

I hope it was just my misunderstanding, but Allegri’s gaze as he scanned Elaine’s body wasn’t just a look full of goodwill.

And even the guys around him had a sense of alienation to say that they were ordinary believers.

A place lined with talented people who cannot be called a simple religious denomination.

“You are here again.”

this guy too

“Hatun.”

A man with a toned body and full muscles revealing his existence under a habit.

As I entered the narrow alley, Hatun greeted me.

“What did you come for? Miss Elaine is nowhere to be seen.”

“This time, I have something to look at. Your identity has been confirmed, so can you go in?”

I didn’t listen to him and tried to pass by, but Hatun blocked my way.

“what?”

“Originally, entry by outsiders of the Mercian Church was taboo—”

Ignore it and step on the other side of him again, and he steps backwards in the same way and blocks me.

Since Elaine wasn’t there, they weren’t going to let him in.

I spoke while staring into the eyes of Hatoon, who was standing quietly.

Do you think I came without a fucking thought?

“You know what? That there were other spirits besides Mercia in ancient times.”

“Please go back.”

“Among them, there must be spirits whose names we do not know. There will be many denominations following him.”

“I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“Do you know the Church of Hellas?”

For an instant, Hatun’s pupils shook.

He didn’t show it on the outside, but it was clear that he was surprised by my words.

I tried it just in case, but it seems to be about right.

“I’d like to talk to Allegri.”

“… I will guide you.”

Hatun’s attitude changed 180 degrees.

Was this correct too?

The Church of Hellas was one of the forces that later cooperated with Altair to bring demons to the continent.

In a way, it’s one of the dark circles, so it only starts to show itself in the second half of the game.

I don’t know what they have to do with the Church of Hellas, but unlike the general Church, there are many talented people and they are too obsessed with saints.

I suddenly thought of the Hellas Church in a way that could hardly be called a church.

It was only expected to the end, so I threw it in the way that it was not, but I asked this without hesitation.

Following Hatun’s guidance, we passed through the alleyways, foggy yard and huge iron gate, and the same place as before appeared.

As soon as I entered the church, Allegri stood in the middle, as if he had been contacted.

“Welcome to. Count Altane.”

Allegri came back with a wry smile as he did back then, with his head slightly bowed.

Behind him was a woman with dark red hair.

‘Did you say Scarlett?’

A woman who has a lot of days to be called a nun.

And behind me is the big Hatoon.

I approached Allegri as casually as I could, took something from my bosom, and threw it in front of me.

It was a red seal attached to Elaine’s correspondence.

“You wrote the letter really well. Was it handwritten?”

“This… .”

“You rude bastard! What the hell is this!”

“I just came to give back what I received.”

He faced Allegri, ignoring Scarlett, who was furious and ready to attack at any moment.

Either that or not, he was walking around with a benevolent expression on his face.

As if he knew I would come.

“There must have been a misunderstanding.”

“Misunderstanding?”

“As the Count knows, Miss Elaine is from our church.”

trudge.

Allegri slowly circled me and continued.

“For some reason, she left the Church, but I still think of Miss Elaine as a member of the Mercian Church.”

“The person himself went out, is there any reason for you to do that?”

“No. That’s why I sent you such a letter. Just a little bit, so that she can change her mind. Miss Elaine’s friends are here too.”

Allegri, an old man speaking with his arms outstretched.

I just rolled my eyes and quietly observed my surroundings.

A quiet church with no one except for Hatun, Allegri, and Scarlett.

There was no sense of human presence in this place, where only the blue torches were loftily shining.

Suddenly, the contents of the letter came to my mind and I asked Allegri.

“Come to think of it, I heard Elaine’s friends were injured.”

There’s no reason to hide it.

They seem to know why I’m here too. I just asked directly.

“Ah, yes.”

Stopping the whirling steps, Allegri let out a small sigh.

“It’s really sad to have nowhere to go. Both I and Elaine know this well.”

“In the letter, it was written that they were protecting you, but I want to see your face.”

“Ahh. Yes. But before that.”

thud!

“heheheh?!”

With an instant impact on my abdomen, I was thrown backwards.

It was a surprise that had no room for reaction.

“I need to talk for a while.”

Somehow, he let me in without hesitation. Hatoon this bastard.

Grabbing his stomach and standing up, Allegri approached with a deep smile, and two followers radiated unusual energy from behind him.

I looked at them and took out my black sword.

Although the scabbard did not open, there was no problem in swinging it.

I looked at them and said softly.

“There is a lot to talk about here. Twenties.”
