Chapter 074. killing heresy

“you. What is your true identity?”

“… … .”

I pondered for a while on how and to what extent I should explain this.

But it was after I had already shown too much.

It’s a little early to incur unnecessary distrust, but I decided to tell you everything.

“Did you know the church was shut down?”

“I know. So instead of the people you always see, other people came.”

“It is because of the trust.”

“… !”

Iris’s body trembled.

I continued to explain.

“I am actually… .”

I’m actually an apostle of God, and you’re one of those people that God has ordained, and the strange things that’ve happened around you so far are actually evidence of magic.

“… What do you mean?”

“It is literally.”

Iris asked me if I didn’t believe it at first, but as my words continued, her expression gradually changed.

how long has it been like that

“ah.”

Rumble.

At the same time as the silent realization, the curtains fall.

Seeing that, Iris asked.

“You mean this is actually magic?”

“yes. If you awaken, you can use it naturally.”

“… … .”

“The exact thing will only be known at that time, but once he awakens, he will definitely be stronger than me now.”

Iris asks in surprise.

“Is that enough?”

“yes. It is certain that it is strong enough to bring you to the point of despair.”

“ah… .”

This is not an exaggeration.

She is a 7th rank wizard, and unlike knights, wizards are strong from the moment they awaken.

Of course, the difference in objective firepower does not determine victory or defeat.

However, if you take away the non-quantitative factors that are difficult to calculate, she will definitely be stronger than me.

‘… … .’

She kept her mouth shut with an incomprehensible expression.

He didn’t even know he was thinking of the dead escort knights and priests.

Things would have been different if he had been that strong back then.

“I will continue.”

I didn’t have anything to say, so I just noticed and continued to explain.

A description of future plans.

I heard from him that there will be one more apostle divination in the future, so after bringing him safely to that point, he plans to graduate from the academy and form a knighthood.

“It’s a bit later, but I hope you’ll be with me when the time comes.”

“… Then you healed me because you need my strength later?”

“That is true, but… .”

“I am not angry. Rather thank you. Even if I had known, I would have wanted treatment. But, just… . I feel a bit strange.”

“Do you need some time?”

“… yes. Ten minutes.”

I was quiet for a while so as not to disturb my contemplation.

but a little later.

Iris suddenly opened her mouth.

“Does your fiancé know this?”

“yes?”

I didn’t specify it exactly, but ‘this’ is probably a question about an oracle.

I wondered why he asked such a thing, but he answered it at once.

“I don’t know now.”

“is it so?”

“We’ll talk about it later, but why are you curious about this?”

“Just.”

Then I kept my mouth shut again, but this time I took a long time to think about whether it was a serious concern.

how long has it been like that

Fortunately, Iris nodded at the end of the long struggle.

As she let out a sigh of relief at the sight, she says with a hollow laugh.

“… no wonder. then you asked “Is it okay if my life from now on is very tiring in exchange for good health?” You asked me in advance, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to refuse.”

“Because he is that kind of person.”

“Because you are a wicked person.”

that’s wicked

However, unlike the words, Iris’ expression was not bad.

Rather, it was closer to a relieved expression, as if the tidying up of the mind was coming to an end.

“ah.”

At that time, Iris asked with an expression that remembered something.

“It just came to my mind. If you accept the offer now, will I be your first member?”

“Yes what. That’s how it works.”

“Then what do you have?”

“yes?”

“It’s like a benefit.”

Benefits?

“If His Highness wants anything else, you can say anything.”

“It’s not like that… . Eh, it’s done.”

puck!

He slapped his elbow with a steamy expression at my boring answer.

It didn’t hurt because it was a cotton ball fist.

On the contrary, Iris frowned at the sensation of hitting a lump of iron.

I asked with a laugh at the absurdity.

“What are you doing?”

“Because I hate it.”

“… ?”

“It’s done. What are you going to do now?”

“I’m thinking of organizing the church.”

“platform?”

Iris, not knowing anything, tilts her head.

“yes. He must be behind this raid. Some of them, to be exact.”

“… !!!”

“It may take some time.”

However, there is a connection in the church, so a solution is possible.

She listened quietly and said.

“I can help with that.”

“You mean the princess?”

“Isn’t that important? I can ask Obama a favor.”

“… ! Then please, please.”

If yes, it can’t get any better than this.

If there is support at the national level, apostates could be completely eradicated.

In addition, there is also a justification for meddling in the church. Because the princess, Iris, almost died.

Originally, a religious reformation (purge) of this magnitude would take place around the third year.

But that’s just because there’s no opportunity, and the sooner the better.

Because you can get rid of some episodes that you don’t really need.

“I’m such a fuss. I haven’t even asked yet.”

“Would you like to listen?”

“… Well, maybe.”

It wasn’t an unreasonable request, and I didn’t think that the king would refuse Iris’s request.

Rather, it will be the person who is most eager to be in the middle of the day.

Since Ymir managed to escape, he probably doesn’t know where to draw his sword.

In such a situation, if Iris blows a little and Ian’s additional testimony comes out, he will draw his sword without hesitation.

After all that important talk, I glanced at my watch and said.

“Then let’s go.”

“What about treatment?”

“This week is easy. Maybe fatigue will remain.”

“ah… .”

Even though he healed by pouring divine power like water, it is because he is a weak person.

So when I was about to leave with an appointment for next week.

“ah… . excuse me!”

Kwak!

As Iris gripped the hem of my dress, I stopped at the railing in an awkward posture for a moment.

Looking back, she couldn’t keep her eyes on anything.

“Well, there are only two of us here anyway.”

“yes.”

stop talking for a while After exhaling, Iris continued.

“… therefore! Next time you see her, call her Aris instead of the princess. I’ll call you Roan too.”

“yes?”

“Twenty-six is, what is it, only one year older?”

Iris looked at this with a nervous expression. This reminded me of a conversation we had a while ago.

Are you sure you want to make friends when you go to the academy?

I thought that the title of Friend of the Princess No. 1 would be held by Yuriel, but it seems I took it away unintentionally.

With a nervous expression on my face, I laughed inwardly and answered with the thought of teasing him a little.

“Let me think about it.”

“… !!!?!”

… After explaining that it was a joke, he was finally released.

* * *

Peeing… !

puck!

An arrow that hits the center of the target.

Around it were 29 more arrows.

“Roan, 287 points!”

The cadet, who had shot all 30 shots and measured the score, exclaimed in a loud voice.

“Write… .”

The first lesson after a week’s rest was archery.

With 287 points, it is currently ranked first, but something was disappointing.

Is it because the overwhelming number one factor has disappeared?

The archery evaluation felt more relaxed than when I was in the lower class.

The speed at which my skills naturally improved also decreased.

‘… … .’

I once asked Kayla for advice to learn something, but the answer that came back was this.

‘Why use something that doesn’t even scratch at night?’

‘… … .’

‘I’d rather use artillery… .’

‘No, that’s enough.’

He said he never used it because he never thought it was dangerous.

Of course, it would have been the case in that world, but since there is mana here, the story is different.

‘… Shall we visit Fay separately later?’

let’s practice together

It was an inadvertent thought, but I thought it wouldn’t be bad.

Practice is also practice, but you have to look at their faces often beforehand so that you can catch them later.

‘Then, ask Dante first… .’

The class ended while we were making various kidnapping plans. After organizing my bow and arrows, I left the training ground.

“Where are you going?”

“library.”

“aha. see you tomorrow.”

After splitting up with Uriel, I headed to the library.

Because there was something else to look for.

I was walking like that.

Feeling something strange, I stopped for a moment and looked around.

“… … ?”

When I came out to the place where the general department buildings were lined up, I could feel the eyes of many cadets.

I hesitated for a moment, but then I could see why.

It was because of the poster pasted in front of the front door of the library.

At the top of the big wall, it read:

[The kingdom’s students save the princess.]

Beneath the poster was written the story of Yuriel, who threw herself to protect the princess from an arrow, and me who saved them.

I burst out laughing when I read halfway through.

“Ha, true.”

Of course, it is true that we made a great achievement, but it was more than just a wordy praise.

‘And I thought it would be covered.’

The fact that the princess was attacked is no different from a major mistake on the part of the nation, even if you think about it except for Ymir’s wit.

So I thought it would be covered, but it was the exact opposite.

It seems that the news has already spread so much that instead of covering it up, they tried to change the mood with other, better news.

So, this was a kind of marketing that led to making a hero.

Intention, anyway, it’s not a bad situation for me.

This kind of fame is rather welcome because it is what I need the most right now.

Uriel’s side shouldn’t hate it now that the family issue has been resolved.

but.

‘Duke Hayward must have been surprised.’

It’s been a while since I allowed myself to become a knight, so this happened.

If Uriel’s injuries were severe, he might have changed his words again.

‘… thank god.’

anyway.

The kingdom now appeared as usual, seemingly without any problems.

From noble mtl dot com

Rather, it is an exhilarating atmosphere when excited about the birth of two young heroes.

However, in reality, a wind of blood was blowing, and the reason was simple.

‘Punish the traitor!’

The king, who was extremely angry at this incident, drew his sword.

Iris’ breath and Ian’s testimony also had an impact here.

Although power interferes with religion, there was no noise about the apostate, perhaps because it was a shocking event in the church.

Rather, it was an atmosphere where they did not hesitate to support the kingdom as if they were fed up.

As the Knights and the heretic judge joined hands, the apostates were quickly erased from the kingdom.

This is because the investigation proceeded at an unprecedented speed because the image of a ‘priest’ that had protected them in the first place had been stripped away.

It’s been a week now.

Apostates from the kingdom are almost nipped in the bud.

Perhaps the remaining ones will not last long and will disappear into the dew of the execution ground.

Achievements that could not be achieved in the Empire were achieved first in the Kingdom.

And here, Amy’s help was also great.

It was because the number of heresies she had discovered alone over the past month or so had become quite large.

I didn’t expect it to work so well.

‘I’ll have to visit it sometime.’

I was also curious about the method.

Also, after asking me to wait for six months, he didn’t come back for a long time.

So I went to see Amy a few days later just to see her face.

“long time no see.”
