Of course, a combination of factors contributed to the development of the situation.

First of all, the necklace that started the situation.

The fact that the necklace was stolen was a fact that only Alter knew, but literally no one knew the truth of the case because the person who could inform it was completely insane and unable to have a proper conversation.

In the meantime, when Ronan and the royal family argued that Cardinal Monto stole the necklace, Cardinal Monto, who knew the true nature of the necklace, fell into a panic.

Even the cardinal subconsciously assumed that the saint was not a person to lie, and decided that someone had deceived the saint and also drove the cardinal’s grandson crazy, blaming himself, the Orionist leader of the academy, for burial.

No matter which force did this, if it was enough to do something like this within the academy, he couldn’t even guarantee his own life right away.

Knowing the true nature of the cardinals, Monto became more cautious as he could not rule out the possibility that one of the cardinals was responsible.

The cardinal, overcome with fear, shut himself in his room, neglecting his duties.

The splendid church’s suicide bombing show deepened in earnest from here.

When the story that the church was persecuting the saint suddenly began to spread, the church was taken aback.

It was because they had activated a holy object to drive the saint insane in order to take care of the cheeky saint who had dared to bite his master just a while ago and regain the initiative.

The main office even thought about brainwashing the saint, and one runaway cardinal actually went to the brink of killing the saint.

The church was stabbed a lot.

For the church, which has already been stabbed a lot, to avoid the worst situation, rather than actively clarifying, it first contacted the clergy of the academy and maintained silence to find out what was going on.

However, Cardinal Monto, who had already fallen into the shadow of suspicion, kept a passive attitude, repeating only formal statements such as that there was no problem with contact from the church and that it would be resolved soon, so the situation did not progress at all.

Somehow, through the other clergy who accompanied them, the church, which somehow grasped the situation to some extent, fell asleep.

News spread throughout the academy that priests belonging to the church habitually tried to extort and assault the saint’s belongings, and in the case of Alter apprentice, the grandson of the cardinal, who was one of the instigators, went insane after being punished.

Although he doesn’t know the details, Cardinal Levia, who realized that the necklace he had given to Ronan passed to his grandson and drove his grandson crazy with his own hands, went mad and wanted to tear and kill the leader, Cardinal Monto.

Cardinal Monto, noticing the situation in such a church, concluded that he must have been the victim of some conspiracy within the church, and finally asked the imperial family to guarantee his life, conveying the contents he found out and delusion that it would be exactly that. did.

The church, which finally judged that Cardinal Monto’s actions had betrayed the church by colluding with other forces, argued that Cardinal Monto had ate with a devil worshiper in order to bring Cardinal Monto to the church by any means and to silence him by killing him. .

In the meantime, quite a few people were reluctant to confront Ronan out of fear that a divine punishment had been imposed on Cardinal Levia and her grandson, who really tried to harm the saint directly, and the target of attack was limited to Cardinal Monto. done.

It was a continuation of a party made up of crazy troll acts by cardinals who did not trust each other and did not have the ability to match their position.

If it was natural, it was natural.

Contrary to Ronan’s expectations, this situation was not led by the church from the beginning to the end, and the cardinals were old people with a sense of the elect and sacralism who covered their loopholes with the courage of being a cardinal rather than political monsters full of vehemence and arrogance.

The biggest problem is that their divinity and the consciousness of the chosen people were not a problem by the standards of this era, so there was no opportunity to correct them.

The idea of the chosen people was a natural social awareness that was nothing strange in this world, and the divine power that could interfere with people’s birth, old age, and disease was actually highly valued.

It is the only religious group that does not have rivals in faith and does not have to explain the proof of God painfully.

With the fall of the Holy Empire, the church, which had turned into a seemingly pure religious organization by throwing off the last remnants of the secular world called politics, made the empire difficult just by existing.

How much it was worth, how easily the cardinals lived in the world, Ronan vaguely guessed, but could not accurately estimate.

Not even Ronan, not even the cardinals, could have guessed how fatal the name saint could be to such a church.

It’s been a few hundred years since a human saint appeared, and even if he knew that a saint was a great being, it was also because no one had really experienced it. It was also because they overlooked the ripple effect they could have.

It is possible to convince people of the faithfulness to Orion equal to or higher than that of the Church, but one day a being that opposes the Church suddenly appeared, and the Church cannot control it even though it is related to faith. Danger.

Of course, it was a crisis of a type that the church had never faced in a long time.

From the moment the integrity of the church’s faith was questioned, the church began to receive all sorts of suspicious eyes that it didn’t even have to care about until now.

No matter how urgent there was, the church’s own goal, which drove the cardinal into a collusion with devil worshipers, was decisive.

* * *

What does the church want to do…

That was the question that was filling my head these days.

It had only been a few days before the cardinal had said that he must have been in collusion with the devil worshipers, and that if he handed it over to the church, he would spit out the whole truth.

Dozens of priests of different races who have the right to decide on the demon case in turn

‘Why are you insisting that demon worshipers’ powers are in the middle of the empire, and you’re trying to solve it at the main office?’

‘If the cardinals are actually the devil worshipers’ pawns, I’m very concerned about the reality of the Orion cult.’

‘Doesn’t it jump out?’

When I said something like this, the church changed the story, saying it was so hot.

Seeing that the cardinal, who had made people crazy and attacked the saint, suddenly acted strangely, he was concerned about the evil plot of the devil worshipers, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

That’s why the safety of the cardinal and the crazed apprentice, who can be said to be the only clues, are all the more important, and at the same time, it’s a conclusion made by judging that there may be some additional curse hanging on them. Please don’t jump to conclusions.

Long story short, I didn’t say that I was colluding with a real devil worshiper. Don’t get me wrong. It was something like that.

You mentioned devil worshipers first… It’s not like children’s playhouse, what are you doing?

As I watched the series of situations, I finally began to think of a possibility very carefully.

Could it be that all of this is not a process in which some scheme of the church is being implemented, but is it just being beaten up and being distracted?

How can that be unless the majority of cardinals are idiots far beyond my imagination?

Because of the otherworldly characteristics that I, an earthling, can’t understand, I can still roll even if the top of such a huge group is full of idiots?

I’ve pondered that question several times, but it was an assumption that I couldn’t accept.

I don’t know.

Likewise, it was too much for me to grasp the intentions of the church that collapsed on the floor in one blow.

I just fell down and I don’t know why, so I’m stepping on it all together, but if there’s really something else, let’s just accept it.

If you have calculated this far and can come up with a plan for a one-shot reversal, it is wrong for a normal person like me to think of dealing with them in the first place.

From nob le mt l. com

Let’s admit defeat cleanly and either naturalize as a beastman or entrust ourselves to the imperial family.

After thinking about it, I felt somewhat at ease.

Anyway, looking at the situation so far, the church is shaking more than I thought because the church keeps self-destructing.

Now, there are more things to worry about than that.

I finished all the preparations with a happy smile inside.

It wasn’t a smile that made me think that if things went on like this, sooner or later it wouldn’t be a problem for me to suck the honey that the cardinals used to drink.

Because today is Saturday

“Saint Ronan. I’ll ask you again. If you think you’ve found a clue to the devil worshipers, don’t try to be sure and call someone.”

Seeing me ready, the princess asked me again with a very worried expression.

“Don’t worry, Agelia-sama. I will never do anything dangerous.”

The princess is the busiest person because of the commotion in the academy right now, so who cares about who?

I looked at the princess with the determination to trust only me.

“I’m not at all sure…”

why!

“Saint Ronan. Unlike the academy, the city is completely out of control of the imperial family. Sooner or later, the imperial family said they would send troops…”

I nodded my head calmly as I listened to the worrying sermon from the princess, who had no idea how many times it had already happened.

They say you can go to the city legally, but this is just a sermon.

Yes, now I finally go to see the city, not as a righteous thief, but fair.

The origin of the case was as follows.

As the story of the devil worshipers became overheated, the priests began to search inside and outside the academy one by one.

That said, if devil worshipers really use divinity and can fool the senses of the clergy, it’s pretty hard to find them.

I was also a party to the incident, so I learned about it because I had been with the cardinals several times, checking the necklace, and so on.

The moment I heard it, an exclamation mark popped into my head.

This… can be used!

Recently, I moved my residence and was surrounded by the iron guard of the imperial knights and the duke’s privates, and even the little free time almost disappeared.

I am the person who was persecuted by the church right now, and since the case is still in progress, it was a natural course of action, but there was a difficult part for me.

It was much harder than I thought to secretly become a righteous thief on the weekend.

An increase in escorts is no different from an increase in surveillance.

If this happens, Priest Rhys will think of me as a liar… I can hear my liking diminishing from here!

The priests’ worries turned out to be an opportunity while they were trying to figure out how to get out.

Naturally, I took a step forward and asked.

‘Then can I help you?’

Since I was a saint who understood the curse of the young lady, the argument was that I would be able to find out if they missed it.

Naturally, the priests expressed disapproval. Upon hearing the news, the princess shouted against the death toll.

It’s absurd to involve a saint in such a dangerous thing.

But I wasn’t willing to give up like this.

Priests of different races were not a big problem as long as I felt the effect of my title of saint.

I emphasized several times that it was right for me to step out in order to calm all this confusion and find any real devil worshipers.

The result? As shown earlier.

Of course, if I advertised that a saint was born in the city, it was easy for the demon worshipers to run away or become targets of attack, so few people knew about my outing even at the academy level, and I decided to hide my identity outside and bring only a few escorts with me. did.

It was difficult for the princess to accompany me because she had a mountain of work to deal with, and the leader of the Orion Church collapsed, taking on the apprentice cadets as well.

Since she was going to hide her identity, there was not much merit for the princess to accompany her.

To be able to walk around the city without revealing it to others and not sneaking out.

It was a little disappointing that there was still an escort in the dark, but it was the best result except for that.

“Princess Agelia is overly concerned.”

Correction. Except for this person.

The acting doctor standing next to the princess smiled and started talking.

“…Agent Doctor Rita.”

“Even if something dangerous happens, I will make sure not even the tips of your hair are damaged.”

You are the biggest danger to me.

The princess was also looking at the surrogate doctor with complex and subtle eyes, perhaps feeling the same way.

“Gee, it’s sad that you still don’t get credit.”

“I believe that nothing like the last time will ever happen again.”

“Haven’t I already apologized for my barbarism? I promise you it won’t happen again.”

Despite the princess’s bony words, the acting physician still responded with a smirk.

The surrogate doctor of the beast tribe was scheduled to accompany me today, apart from the escort in the dark.

Even if I could detect some kind of aura that others couldn’t, it was basically because there were experts in chasing demon worshipers.

The Dwarven Knights and the Nine Tails of the Beasts were experts in this field.

“Then shall we go Saint Ronan?”

The surrogate doctor who said that and extended his hand.

I’d be more comfortable with a knight commander… but I’m sure he won’t cause trouble in the middle of a city chasing demon worshippers.

Most of all, he wanted me to go to the city, so he complied without saying anything.

“Saint Ronan. Please be careful!”

Princess, I don’t think a newly married woman who left her baby at the water’s edge would be so worried.

In fact, the princess’s worries were completely useless.

My body is the most important person for me, but if it was really dangerous, would I take the risk even to go outside?

Even if you don’t like it, you’ll lock yourself in the academy until it’s safe.

After all, the grandson was mad because of the necklace, and judging from how he felt when he confronted the cardinal, he had nothing to do with devil worshipers.

Therefore, the devil worshipers who were planted by priests of different races were in fact an illusion created by the shoveling of Orionism.

Then there’s an escort in the dark, but there’s no way it’s dangerous.

I felt sorry for not being able to tell the princess the truth.

I’m sorry, Princess! Instead, I’ll buy melona when I come!

I left the academy with joy and happiness.
