Chapter 207 – The Main Order

In conclusion, it was nothing special.

Not the glitter of the medallion, nor Helena’s bewilderment. It all didn’t last very long.

In the end, the medallion regained her original light, and Helena was relieved to feel the presence of the righteous light again.

Well, Helena is not a saint yet, but a candidate for a saint.

Righteous light seems to have given me strength too much, so it could be that I’m going through it.

… Although I had a subtle feeling that something was happening. It’s been a few days since I passed it like that.

Finally, the wagon arrived at its destination.

The easternmost point of the continent of Eurelia. A place where the sun rises. Brightest land. The holy place where God sleeps.

Yes. The main body of the Righteous Light Church was right in front of us.

“Here…”

“Is this your first time coming here, Carla?”

“Yes. It’s probably too far away.”

Carla opened her mouth and looked at the scenery outside her window.

But. The scenery is rather nice.

A towering cliff and a white temple built on top of it. The sun has already risen in mid-heaven now, but at dawn you will be able to see the sunrise scene from the closest.

“I… Wouldn’t she just be attacked for being the daughter of a cultist or something?”

“No. Was she not admiring the scenery, but was she disturbed by the thought?”

It took a while for me to let out a deep sigh because I was dumbfounded. Helena, who had become quite close with Karla recently, smiled and opened her mouth.

“Whoops. Don’t worry. At best, it’s a bit reluctant. Most of all, since I am a slave to Brother Yandel and no one else, no one will treat me carelessly.”

“Master’s… Lol. I’m glad then.”

Carla leans on me with a relaxed face and a flirtatious look.

But I couldn’t help but laugh. That would be too.

“Excuse me. Priest Helena?”

“You know what? Now, the Daeshinjeon changes color depending on the time. It shines white when the sun is fully up like now, but it turns red when it just rises.”

“Oh… How amazing. By the way, I have a little something to say…”

“Ah, there are many vampires like Professor Iona living here. Aren’t there many people who received the protection of the sun in exchange for standing on the side of mankind during the Great War in the past and were able to live during the day? Thankfully, some of them decided to serve the righteous Kwangmyeong-nim together.”

“Okay. Being attracted to light is like a living thing’s instinct. In that sense, there are a few things I want to ask Priest Helena…”

“Oh, come to think of it, I didn’t tell you this! Although this is within the domain of Krasius, the kingdom of beasts, the Great Temple and the cities around it are promised autonomy, just like the main body of the other Orders. Its official name is the Papal States of Solaris. A little long, right?”

“Hey… Are you Helena? Can you hear me?”

“It is a place where the church’s precepts take precedence over Krasius’ law, so please keep that in mind. Of course, there is no need to worry too much, as we do not impose strict standards even on those who are unfamiliar with the doctrine.”

“…”

Helena, who deliberately pretended not to hear me from earlier. She doesn’t even look at me.

What was wrong, after clearing the dungeon, his relationship with Helena became more strained than before.

I still don’t know the cause… Now that we’ve arrived at the headquarters, we have to solve it somehow.

She braced herself, jumped up from her seat, and sat down next to Helena.

“Well then, I’m off to pray for today!”

“Priest Helena?!”

And Helena, who blushes and walks away as soon as I sit down.

Her outstretched hand toward her backside lost her way in the air and she dazed, she stopped.

She went back to her place, slightly depressed, and lay down with her head on Carla’s thigh.

“Carla… What did I do wrong?”

“Ugh. The master did nothing wrong. … Except for the fact that he handed over the sacred objects of the church and said something meaningful.”

“Why? Wasn’t that kind of cool?”

“… Master is always cool!”

For some reason, Karla, who had a similar expression to Fay from before, soon began to force herself into a smile.

Then she brushed her teeth and gently stroked her hair.

She had a lot to say, but she liked the feel of Carla’s slender fingers running through my hair, so she decided to enjoy it quietly.

After enjoying Karla Therapy for such a long time.

Rattle.

The carriage stopped. She arrived before instead.

***

“Ouch! The sun… The sun… !”

As soon as she got off the wagon, Iona struggled with her hands exaggeratedly in the scorching sun.

“I know everything is okay, so don’t play around, Professor.”

“No! No! It’s not a joke, the sun’s light was so strong that it hit me directly…”

“What if?”

“My skin is all burned… !”

“…”

I knew it.

She let out a sigh and looked at Fay. Perhaps it was transmitted even without words, he sighed and took a small tube from his pocket in the subspace and handed it to him.

Sunscreen that I made before leaving.

When she quietly puts her face out toward me and applies it to me, she finally raises her arms and shouts.

“Iona is resurrected!”

“Wow…”

As she gave her soulless applause, she enjoyed taking this and that strange pose.

Iris clicked her tongue at the sight and was using Elisha’s bouffant bun hair as a parasol.

It seems to me that both of them are in the same situation there.

As she put her hands together to shade Elisha’s head, who was struggling, soon after, someone from the front came out to greet her instead.

Hair mixed with sparse white hair. Wrinkles that show traces of time. Overall, he has a benevolent grandfather-like face, but… The body is not very strong.

Almost 2 m tall. Wide shoulders. Muscles like those of a loser at the end of the century are clearly visible even through the plentiful priestly clothes.

The moment when I was unknowingly overwhelmed by the bizarre atmosphere of an old man who seemed to have synthesized only his head.

The old man smiled brightly and made the sign of the cross.

“May the sun shine on your future. Welcome Brother Yandel! Also, welcome to Sister Fay and Professor Iona.”

“Go, thank you… ?”

Hehe…”

“Nice to meet you!”

A voice so loud that I couldn’t help but flinch. When I reached Fei, I was just scared and hid behind me.

Only Iona smiled and greeted her face to face.

As if it had happened once or twice, the old man scratching his nose shyly looked at Helena and smiled this time.

“It’s been a while, Helena. … How can you grow so much in such a short time? I think it was a good idea to send him to the academy.”

“It’s been a while since Cardinal Gilbert. It’s all thanks to the Lord, so don’t give too much credit.”

Helena shy in her humble posture.

That person must have been Gilbert. The impact of the first meeting was so strong that I wanted someone for a moment.

Gilbert is a character that appears only in Helena’s route, and is like Helena’s father.

He recognized the qualities of Helena, who grew up in the church from a young age, and sent her to the main body.

No matter how excellent Helena was, if it had not been for Gilbert, she would not have been nominated for the position of saintess.

He has only qualities, but has not yet fully developed. That’s Helena now.

I couldn’t completely fix the problem of overexcitement during battle right now.

For reference, Gilbert is a character of misfortune who fights and dies at the forefront no matter which route he takes.

The feeling that a character with a position like a teacher or father is completed by death, as is usually the case.

After Gilbert’s death, Helena collapses or rises again, and the route diverges…

After all, if you can save it, it’s better to save it.

Did the thoughts I had on the inside show on the outside?

Gilbert, who was sharing the latest situation with Helena, opened his mouth with a sad expression as if he realized something.

“This. My introduction is too late. It’s called Gilbert. Thanks to the fact that he holds the office of cardinal, he is able to serve such an honored guest. Helena. You go and rest I will guide you from here.”

“I see, Cardinal. You all have worked hard to come a long way. I’ll just go from here…”

“For a moment.”

I stopped Helena, who still couldn’t look right at me.

I don’t know why she avoids me like this, but Helena is a valuable party member candidate.

In other words, he is a valuable talent who can serve as a tank and healer for an extremely weak magician party that lacks stability.

I can’t let it fall apart like this.

This time, he grabbed Helena’s forearm tightly to prevent her from running away.

“Hick!”

She was a little hurt by the frightened look, as if she had met a molester, but she continued to speak.

“Priest Helena. You keep avoiding me lately… But do you remember the promise we made last time?”

“Hey, I can’t believe that it’s a promise…”

“Yes. I hope so.”

“Ah! In a place like this… Gilbert-sama is watching that too… !”

Helena sits down with her white face as if her powers have been released.

She hurriedly grabbed her arm and supported it with strength. Then she boldly demanded my rights.

“As promised, Helena-sama will guide you in the main altar.”

Helena, trembling, opened her golden eyes blankly.

“… Yes?”

From the moment I grabbed Helena’s arm, Gilbert, who had been striding towards her with a serious face, also put on a blank expression.

“… Her?”

Only my ladies nodded her head with a feeling of yes.

What.

Why only you know

Let me know too!
