Translator: Darling | Editor: Coming soon…
“Ugh!!”
Although the one who was hit was Makoto, the one who let out a grunt of pain was not Makoto, but the young man. I tensely looked at the situation to see what exactly happened. Around Makoto, there was a thin aqua-colored layer of something wrapped enveloping her, as if protecting her.
“If you’re going to beat someone up, you really should try looking into your opponents, you know. I won’t be defeated by someone who can’t at least do that. Now, I must ask you to leave this church at once.”
Unlike her usual self, Makoto coldly stares down at the young man.
Her calm and composed demeanor only makes her glare that much more intimidating. The young man clenched his teeth and furrowed his brows in annoyance.
“Dammit!”
“Shiva, stand back. As you are right now, you can’t beat the crown prince’s personal aide. My, my… I apologize for my companion here. We will be taking our leave for today. But just to let you know, we haven’t given up on this church or that young lady over there. So we’ll be seeing each other again.”
The middle-aged man left with those words, along with the man called Shiva. While I was a bit at unease with their words, they at least left the church. The only ones left were just us. Feeling a sense of relief, I sighed.
“What happened?”
I asked the Sisters; I could see tears in their eyes when they answered.
“Thank you for saving us, Makoto.”
“The men who were here were after this church’s land. It seems like they also heard about Lyra who could use healing magic, and took an interest in her as well.”
I wonder if they have met before. The Sisters mentioned Makoto’s name so normally.
“The church… And me? Was I the cause of this?”
I have finally found a place where I could relax, but… I probably can’t come over here anymore. The Sisters and the orphans were in danger because of me, and I can’t keep dragging them further in danger like this. But, if those men are also after the church, I can’t exactly leave them here like this either.
“No. Originally, they had pawns come over here and harass us to leave this church.”
“Indeed. And since Lyra came over here just recently, they took an interest in her as well. If only we didn’t invite you into this church, then you wouldn’t have to…”
The two Sisters sadly looked downwards. I couldn’t help but see tears flowing down their eyes.
“Well then, there’s no point in having such a pointless conversation. We have to think of something. I thought if I just showed up, they would retreat and never come back. But I guess I was a bit too naive. It seems like they’re rebels against the crown prince.”
