Chapter 75 – Elmen! – 2

What is the better weapon between a gun and a sword? What is more advantageous if they fight each other?

Swords are more advantageous in close range and guns are more advantageous in long range.

It could be. However, such a hypothesis only has meaning when the skills are similar to each other. It is all too easy to lose credibility when there is a gap in skill.

Only 2 seconds to calculate all trajectories.

Phut! Phut! Phut! Fain!

Started firing right away.

A bullet containing pure mana draws a straight line without an error. Dozens of neat traces barely pass under their ears, the nape of their necks, and so on.

Of course, it is the result of designing the trajectory to ‘pass by just barely’.

Apply Cheshire’s 『Stealth』 To bullets.

Invisible bullets only slam into their ears with a bloody gong sound. It would be scary Because humans feel fear from the invisible.

Next, apply Elise’s 『Explosion』.

The bullet that narrowly misses them becomes a bomb and detonates.

Bang! Bang! Wow!

The entanglement of binge drinking and binge drinking reminds us of the situation on the battlefield. For the enemy, it is an unknown disaster.

Even if someone with superhuman level of patience, self-denial, and mental strength comes to this scene, it is difficult to endure… Unfortunately, their mental abilities are just average.

“Hee, hee hee!”

“Haaaaagh!”

“Help me! Ask for help! What’s this!”

In the face of overwhelming power, even the situation is bound to be manipulated like limbs.

There was never a time when I did not fall face down in the midst of a scene where invisible and transparent bullets were flying around and explosions whose principle was unknown were chained.

Only I was able to stand on my own two legs.

Everyone bowed their heads, and I got to look down on them. In fact, wouldn’t I have become the god of the Amje Altar?

Well, I was bored and thought about it.

“Anyone who still wonders what to do to please Elfriede? Is there such a person who puts learning ahead of life?”

No one raised a hand.

Let’s use the general store itself as a prison.

“If you take even one step from here, know that you will go to see God with light steps. I’ll be a ghost and let you go see it.”

Besides these guys, there were many other priests at the altar.

After passing by the guys who were still praying, and the guys who were exchanging ostentatious stories, it was a restaurant.

‘Is it mealtime?’

Everyone was waiting in line to get their food on the plate. After smelling it, I was quite hungry, so I naturally joined.

A sumptuous meal follows.

Fill the glass with wine, followed by potato chowder soup, shrimp salad, cream pasta and steak.

‘…Wearing a priest’s uniform? Something like this?’

If these guys did this after writing ‘I am a robber’ openly on their foreheads, I could tolerate it.

If so, even if someone sees this scene, they will be able to say, “Ah, the robber is eating something delicious with the money he earned unfairly.”

However, if you are wearing priestly clothes, the story is different.

It is an act of humiliating a faithful priest somewhere on this continent, so the resentment is so great.

I asked the woman who was serving her food.

“Where did you get all the money to do this?”

The woman looked at me with a very rude expression. She was about to hit my head with the tongs she was holding.

“Would you wear a mask and ask? Hygiene is the life of food.”

I took off her mask and put it on. It was so fast that she couldn’t even react.

There are moments when you have to risk your life for an insignificant act and do your best, but this was just like that.

“You wore a mask. Won’t you answer me?”

Realizing that what was hanging over her mouth was her own mask, she seemed to be perplexed.

Realizing the difference in her strength, she answered cautiously.

“Because there is money earned at the altar… I did with that.”

“Money made from selling mats? Money earned from selling statues?”

“Yes.”

I took the tongs she was holding in her hand and hit her on the head. White carbonara cream splashed on the black priestly uniform.

“Aww.”

“Is it good to eat something good?”

“Yes?”

“Is it good because you eat good things? Do you like eating good things with the money you took away unfairly?”

Then the woman pouted her mouth.

“I only serve food, but I can’t eat it myself. They only serve food all day and return after receiving only the set amount of money. I don’t know anything.”

“I see.”

“Yes.”

Well, there was no way they would have set aside the ones who would cook and serve food out of the men who robbed them.

I’m going to take the guys with a lot of debt around me and have them do these chores.

“Why did you start doing this?”

“They forcibly sold ten mats to my parents. They say I have to work here for the rest of my life to pay off that debt.”

“What is your name?”

“Rachel.”

Rachel.

She repeated the name once. It’s a name I don’t know for sure.

In her previous life, she and I had never met. Perhaps she lived a life like a slave while being held here for the rest of her life.

Cong, I gave her another weak blow to the head. Because she felt sorry for her.

“Aww.”

“But why do you keep talking without wearing a mask? Don’t you know food is hygiene? I don’t know.”

“…”

She quietly nodded her head. Her mouth was wonderfully shut.

“Answer only with a nod or a shake of the head. From now on, I will ask you the question on which your life is at stake.”

She nods her head

“If this altar disappears and the debt disappears, how will I live after that? It shouldn’t have been the dream I had originally. Are you going to work hard to make that dream come true?”

She nods her head vigorously. I also nodded.

“Okay. Where is the head of the altar?”

Rachel turned her head to the right and pointed her chin at the black cathedral.

In fact, she could use her fingers at this point, but she was doing very well at her command to answer only with her head.

“Yeah, got it.”

Rachel promised that she would live hard if this altar disappeared.

Couldn’t you hold back your curiosity? Eventually Rachel opened her mouth and asked her me.

“But why are you asking that? Will this altar disappear soon?”

“I don’t know. How do I know?”

To her, I just held out her plate.

“For now, try adding one or five more steaks. Because I am hungry.”

“…?”

◈

After a hearty meal, we headed to the cathedral that rose like black thorns.

‘Is it the sound of prayer?’

From the sound of prayers coming from outside the building, it seemed that there were quite a few robbers disguised as ardent believers.

However, upon closer inspection, it was not so.

Children, young people, old people, regardless of age, were weeping loudly in front of the cathedral. I grabbed an old lady and asked.

“What’s wrong?”

But she shook off my arm and cried out to the cathedral with a please, please.

“What’s the matter?”

“Aaaaa! I took the money! Crying! Aaaaang!”

In the hand of the crying child as if she had lost the world, there was a statue of Elfriede—not even Elfriede to be precise.

Even without seeing what happened, it was clear.

“Head of the Altar! Please let me see the high priest! Please!”

Someone shouted, but there was no way because of the priests standing guard. The situation was the same even if it was not the young man who shouted.

He’s not the kind of guy who will get out of the way just because he shouts like that. I infiltrated the cathedral after manifesting Cheshire’s unique ability, stealth.

It was the male priests who guarded the outside of the cathedral, but when they infiltrated inside, there were only pretty female priests.

There was not a single guy who prayed faithfully, and they were all cleaning.

Going deeper and deeper, there was a chair fanned by four priests.

Another priest was even singing by the side. Dying on the outside, but a celebration on the inside.

There is a high probability that all the women were forcibly captured, so I decided not to touch them first.

I went to the large altar chair and released my stealth.

With a squealing sound, the fanning priests run away in all directions, and the altar leader’s eyes meet in the air.

He was a man with a lot of greed even if he pretended to be. It was so thick that it looked like a very well-aged chunk of cheese.

“What? Who are you.”

Fain!

I lift Trivi and shoot it toward the ceiling.

Light leaks through the gaps in the ceiling caused by the bullets. It hit me exactly.

Open ceiling. A man standing on the ground beneath it. Monopolizing a ray of light descending from the ceiling.

It was intended in the first place, but the situation was exquisitely matched. I said raising my arms.

“I am Elfriede. Advent.”
