Chapter 308 – Priest’s Push (4)

#

“… It’s too late.”

“That, that is… “

Only Yuri and I were left in the drawing room.

Now that the party is over, Ariel said that he was a guest and offered a room to the blonde, who crawled into the room as soon as she liked it. Like a shameless guy. If the mansion is shabby, why do you like it so much? If it’s shabby, shouldn’t it be rejected?

Ariel watched the blonde’s back her in a meaningful way, then suddenly said that she had something to do, and she went to the lab.

Rebecca offered her a cup of tea, telling her to ring the bell if she needed anything, and they disappeared. Well, that guy is always busy. That’s how Yuri and I were left waiting for Lenny.

-Ding, ding, ding.

The bell of the clock announcing 9 o’clock rings. If it was like usual, it’s time to start the most important routine of the day, but the person concerned is still not there.

“No, that’s… I didn’t expect you to take it so seriously…”

While Yuri glanced at me, she was making an excuse she didn’t even ask.

It’s wheat As Yuri said, wouldn’t Lenny come back this late to have a push-and-pull?

There was clearly a selfish side to Lenny. She cuts in line while putting other people to bed, or she tries to cut me off even while she puts me to bed, or she even pretends she’s weak and sniffs that she’s on her side of her. She doesn’t seem to be conscious of the last thing she does.

In any case, although there was such a selfish side to Lenny, she still gave in at the most important moments. She even said it was okay to give her ring to Yuri. No, in the first place, it is impossible for me to understand that I am sleeping with another woman and move on if I am not kind. Besides, she went one step further, and in the case of Ninielle, she even pushed me to join him. While she’s so depressed

Lenny, knowing that she would be worried, but she didn’t come back until this late to do something like push and pull?

“I’ll have to go find it. I don’t think it’s because of what you said that you’re not coming back this late.”

Yuri’s expression darkened at my words. Even if she thought about it, it was strange that Lenny was so late to push her.

“I guess that’s how it is… But do you know where it is?”

“…I said I was going to church, so I’ll have to go to church first. The best thing would be to be stuck at church for being late, but if not…”

Her heart began to race as she thought something might have happened.

Fortunately, the security of the city was quite good. It is a city so bright that it is a little exaggerated to call it night. Besides, the road to the church was open to the main road, so there was no need to pass through the back alleys, and it was unlikely that anything would happen near the mansion. It’s a pretty upscale residential area. It is a place where people are reported to have run around while making a fuss and are interrogated. It was like that when I chased Yuri before…

“Uh oh, what do you do? What if something happens…”

“Calm down.”

Guy Yuri, then and now, it’s the same as making a fuss while getting ahead. But thanks to that, I feel a little calmer. If I fall into a panic and lose my mind, there will be no one to deal with.

I called Rebecca and told her what to do next.

“…If you come back, I’m holding you back so you don’t go anywhere. Because the roads may diverge. I don’t know what will happen, but I’ll be back by morning.”

After hearing her story her, Rebecca nodded her head with her hard face.

“Then… When the days dawns, we will prepare to release the man. It would be good to contact the Security Bureau first and ask the guild as well.”

Indeed. If this is really a missing person case, the key is to free as many people as possible before time runs out.

“Okay. Thank you.”

After I said that and got up from my seat, Yuri hurriedly followed me.

“Hey, you’re angry… Huh?”

A smile comes out when you look at the eyes. It must have been because she thought it was all her fault that she was just blinking like a frightened puppy. I wasn’t angry from the start, but I feel like my anger will soon be released if I look like this. Even if Yuri blows her wind on Lenny, it’s Lenny who did it, so I can’t say that Yuri’s responsibility is too great…

“Okay. Angry.”

“Uh, huh? Gee, really?”

I pressed her face against Yuri with a stiff face.

“Ugh…!”

I close my eyes tightly as if I’m afraid of getting scolded. Her face her full of frowns, her fingers twitching…

“Huh?!”

Yuri jumped up at her unexpected stimulation of her. Her ass her is pinched once, and her laugh her bursts out at the violent reaction. Yuri raised the corners of her eyes and glared at me.

“…You’re not mad at me!”

“Don’t talk nonsense, let’s go quickly.”

I left her mansion, dragging Yuri, who stroked her ass her.

“”…””

Yuri and I looked up at the church, speechless.

It’s a waste. I’ve heard that the church is big, but this is unexpected.

“How can I find it here… “

“I agree. It’s like finding a needle in a pile of straw.”

The church I saw in modern times is about the size of a village villa. The training center where I met Lenny was, at best, a small school. But the church here is, um…A bit exaggerated, like a college campus? There is not just one building, but several scattered here and there. And the form that the outer wall of several meters is wrapped around such a scattered building.

“Uh… For now, it doesn’t seem like there. So what is that?”

Yuri repeated that and that like an idiot. Making sentences with only pronouns like that was something only elderly people with dementia could do, but I would have said something similar. How do I know what a church building is!

Still, that one I mentioned at the beginning looked like a main hall for prayer or mass. And judging from the fact that not only the priests but also some ordinary people come and go in the building next to it… It must be something like a reception or administrative office.

-Beep! Beep beep!

“There! Get out of the way!”

With the sound of a whistle blowing from one side, a carriage ran into the church grounds. The wagon stopped in front of a church building and the man inside was carried on a stretcher. So, that’s a different world version of the ambulance. Well, churches in another world also serve as medical facilities, so it’s natural for them to have hospitals.

Then we skipped the hospital, and we decided to enter the building that looked like an administrative office.

Fortunately, there were a few civilians inside the building and what looked like a reception counter. Most of the windows were closed because it was nighttime, and the lights were only minimally turned on. I can’t help but go home from work in another world… It’s fortunate that the window is open at night.

“What are you looking for?”

The following identity statement. However, when the priest said that Lenny’s status his was a free priest, his expression his became suspicious.

“Sorry, but it is difficult for us to tell you the whereabouts of the free priests. We do not track their whereabouts individually, and even if they are tracked, it is considered personal information… I hope you understand.”

“…”

You’re staring at people like some kind of stalker!

“No, look at this. I mean, they go out to church because they have business, but they don’t come back. I went out in the morning, but he hasn’t come until now! A child will burn to death on this side, but are you just saying nonsense like that?”

Yuri came out in a fit of heat. Perhaps because she was the same woman, the priest’s expression softened even more.

“Then can you prove the relationship? Does she belong to the same clan?”

“Not like that. It’s the same party… But if necessary, we can prove it through the guild.”

I added before the priest said anything.

“When I left, I said I would receive an upgrade quest and left.”

“… Wait a moment.”

The priest raised himself only after mentioning the specific reason. You can see them rummaging through the reception desk on the other side.

It is truly a civil service job. Move only after you are sure that the responsibility does not come back to you! Whether it’s in another world or modern times, that’s where people live… Even though they’re the same receptionist, if you compare them with Rize, that’s the difference. No, is Rize a different species?

The priest returned sooner than expected, but his expression was a little hardened.

“Sorry. Because now is the time The priest in charge of the job was off work. It’s difficult to find out right away. If you give me your address, I’ll put you back as soon as tomorrow’s business hours.”

Before we could say anything, the priest poured out his words.

“No, I heard that there are no people now…”

“Let’s go back.”

“Uh, huh?”

I grabbed the glass and came out.

“What? What’s the matter?”

“Something is strange.”

“Is it strange?”

The priest had a very subtle sense of incongruity.

“I’m making excuses for someone who suddenly left work after looking at the documents. If I had said that from the beginning, I would have understood that it was a public official’s work, but after seeing something, he is making an excuse. Even though the person had disappeared, it seemed like it was no big deal. It doesn’t even tell you if you’ve received the quest or not. I have something.”

“Is there something?”

“I need to find out about that now.”

He knew where the priest was rummaging through the papers, but he couldn’t seem to find it. Because it wasn’t just us and the priest at the reception.

While saying that, I estimated the church site.

First of all, the buildings that are currently open are the hospital, the administrative office, and the parish. Other buildings of unknown use appeared to be closed.

“Great. Let’s take a little walk.”

“You want to walk? Now? In this situation?!”

“Be quiet and cross your arms.”

I pulled Yuri’s trembling arm and started walking around the church grounds.

“I’m not doing this without thinking. Didn’t I tell you before? Some of the summoner’s powers allow them to know where their allies are.”

It is said that you can see roughly everything within a radius of 100 meters on the minimap. If your eyesight is good, you can do more than that. If you turn on the minimap like that and go around between the buildings…

“Found.”

“Uh, are you here?”

Fortunately, Lenny hadn’t left the church or anything. Once she thought about it, she let out a sigh of relief. But why? Why are you here? Not even contacting you?

“Can you hide in there?”

“Well…”

Lenny was on a fairly high floor. Falling from that height didn’t seem like it would end up hurting. I can’t seem to break down the door and get in.

“… It doesn’t look like it’s closed at all, does it? People come and go.”

“Hmm…”

Indeed. Priests come and go…Is it a dormitory? Or lodging? However, it seemed that not everyone could enter, so he had a key or something. It’s unnecessarily thorough to lock it up every time you go in and out.

“Tsk. I can’t help it.”

I grabbed Yuri’s shoulder.

“I’m sorry, but you have to step in.”

“Uh? Me? What?”

Yuri asked with a puzzled face.

….

“Eh, what is this… “

Yuri looked down at her body with her teary face. She spread ketchup all over her body.
