117 – No one knows what this is! # 2

The disappearance of the saintess caused a stir in the world.

“Judas, isn’t that what you really did? Kidnapping a saint? No matter how dangerous you are Do you want to go to war with the Church?”

Brigitte asked me on the way home from work.

Brigitte knows that if something goes wrong, I will do it.

Of course, about 80% of what Brigitte was worried about was actually my problem.

But this time it really wasn’t.

“I don’t even know what a saintess looks like.”

“I heard that you are as white as snow. And he said he was blind.”

He is as white as snow, but he cannot see.

I didn’t picture it well in my head.

I entered the mansion, imagining the image of a saintess in my own way.

I thought that if I did well, I might get a request saying, “Find the saintess.”

“Naruya, I’m here.”

Probably the time when Naru was dismissed from school.

As I entered the mansion, I called Naru, but normally he would come out to the front gate of the garden and say, “Dad wants you to come soon…” Naru, who was supposed to have hugged me and hugged me, did not come out to meet me.

Did Naruto get kidnapped too?

A moment to feel that uneasiness.

pair, pair-.

Applause was heard from upstairs.

And I heard the laughter of children.

“Here! here! Naru is here!”

“… Hina is here… .”

“Cecily is here… !”

Right.

Is everyone calling me upstairs?

I followed the children’s voices upstairs.

And soon I realized that I wasn’t what the kids were calling for.

“What.”

pair, pair-.

Children clapping wildly.

Then, I saw a woman walking around the wide hallway on the second floor in pursuit of those children.

The woman stretched out her arms as if she was blind, and the children clapped as they slipped away.

“Here!”

“I won’t let them go if they get caught. ‘Cause I’m a bad witch Arrr.”

… What is it really?

Despite introducing herself as a wicked witch, she was overall a white woman.

The white robes worn by nuns and the white veil on their faces looked just like snow.

And moving as if you can’t see… .

“Ow, shack… .”

I was not an idiot, so I was able to figure things out.

That woman was the saint everyone was looking for!

And it must have been that Naru and the children kidnapped the saintess!

To make them their playmates!

“Got it! A naughty child will bite.”

Finally, the saintess reached out and grabbed someone.

It was Cecily.

“… Hee hee! Hey, let this go… ! Aww, fuck… ! Really bitten! Saint Marika! It is an unaristocratic act!”

Cecily struggled.

She was a saint who held Cecily and smiled like a villain.

“Isn’t it noble? I’m from a commoner Rather, since we captured the child of a nobleman, we must fatten it up and eat it!”

If we continue like this, will Cecily be eaten?

Of course it can’t be

“Are you a saint by any chance?”

I showed off my popularity.

Then, the woman who was holding Cecily was startled and said, “Ah, huh, ah?”

“Who are you? When? How did you appear? I was surprised.”

Right.

The blind man was so absorbed in playing with the children that he didn’t even know I was here.

Soon after, Brigitte came upstairs, probably feeling the commotion.

“It was very noisy. What the hell is going on upstairs… .”

Brigitte came upstairs.

He looked at me, the children, and the woman in the white veil in turn, then opened his mouth wide in amazement.

“Judah! You kidnapped me too! You madman!”

The saintess immediately tilted her head, perhaps noticing Brigitte slapping me on the shoulder.

“… Judah? Oh, indeed. You are the famous thief Judas and wizard Brigitte. Greetings. My name is Iris, the handmaid of the Lord.”

It was a woman who bowed her head respectfully with her hand on her chest.

* * *

“So, no matter what, Morumoru didn’t come out of the bag! Naru had to pack her bags quickly, but Morumoru was stubborn!”

evening time.

While eating, Naru explained in detail what happened today.

Most of the stories were that Morumoru didn’t come out of the bag.

“So, Morumoru is still in Naru’s bag! Look at this!”

Even now, Morumoru was hunched over in Naru’s bag.

– Meowong.

It was a tight feeling.

Why are you doing that?

But what do you know

The name is Morumoru.

Because it is full of incomprehensible things.

“… What kind of animal is it? It sounds like a cat crying… .”

Even the saintess tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand.

Even to the saintess, Morumoru looks strange.

However, I was even more amazed that the blind saintess got lost and met the children and participated in the dinner here.

“What happened? Saint Iris, because of you, Freesia is in an uproar. First of all, I have contacted the church, so the urgent fire has been turned off, but I want to hear the exact situation.”

Garot asked.

Then the saintess said, “Um… .” He pondered in an easy-to-understand way.

And then, “I’m fine… . When I woke up, I was wandering in an unfamiliar alley. I was lost because I was invisible, and the children found me and guided me to this place.”

It was an incomprehensible story.

Soon, Naru intervened.

“Iris is blind, but she can tell people apart by light!”

so?

Can you tell by light?

What does this mean?

As I was wondering, Brigitte said, wiping her lips gracefully with a handkerchief.

“You mean it detects people like waves? that’s interesting.”

“Hoo, that’s amazing. How do I see myself in the eyes of the saintess? By the way, my name is Garot. It’s Iscariot’s cross. You must be old with me, right?”

Garot asked the saintess.

Then the saintess shook her head and finally opened her lips.

“It looks like a sharp blade. But it’s not just sharp and cool. It has beautiful decorations.”

It’s a beautifully decorated blade.

It was a story that essentially penetrated the fact that he was a demon hunter, but he was born into a dignified aristocrat.

When Garot nodded, “I see,” Brigitte seemed interested.

“Then how will I look?”

“Wizard Brigitte. part of a great hero. A powerful wizard who may have traveled with me. Indeed, he was such a person. Ohhh, this feeling… .”

“So what is that feeling?”

“It’s a black teddy bear. His black appearance looks terrifying, but it must mean that he is actually a soft person like a doll.”

“It’s strange.”

Brigitte clicked her tongue in a strange way.

However, I was somewhat convinced of the saintess’ evaluation.

Brigitte is like a teddy bear.

Then what about me?

“How do I look?”

I asked.

At my question, the saintess kept her mouth shut.

The silence this time was a bit long.

Maybe 10 seconds passed.

“you are… .”

The saintess opened her mouth to say something.

That was the moment.

“The small monk was late for his meal.”

Enkidus appeared.

Didn’t the saintess scream loudly, “Ah!”?

Then, “Nu, it’s dazzling! I think I will go blind!

“It’s hard, the saintess is dazzling because of your bald head. I apologize.”

“Is that so.”

Is that so—what is it?

About a minute or so after the commotion, the saintess took a deep breath as if she had finally calmed down.

“sorry. It reminded me of the old days. It reminds me of the time long ago when I saw the Lord with my own two eyes.”

You are the Lord the blind have seen with their own two eyes.

Enkidus asked when I was wondering.

“Did you see both eyes originally?”

“okay. She was just an ordinary country girl you see everywhere. But one day God appeared in front of me, and my eyes that looked at the splendor went blind.”

Right.

Was she blessed enough to become a saint, but lost both eyes instead?

This was a common occurrence with the Demiurges.

There are also stories like Efar’s “Nymph’s Hand”.

Demiurges always want something in return.

“Anyway, monk Enkidus, you are a dazzling person. He must be someone who looks like the sun.”

The saintess seemed interested in Enkidus.

The fact that Enkidus sparkled in many ways was like the sun.

I really feel good.

Soon Enkidus reached into his pocket and placed the jewel on his palm.

“Would you like to know this?”

“this is… . When I received the letter, I was honestly dubious, but looking at it like this, I understand. This is genuine. It is the same treasure I have.”

The saintess took out a jewel from her pocket.

A jewel that shines brightly in 7 colors.

The two jewels in the saintess’ hands seemed to start emitting a beautiful glow, and then flashed a flash.

pat-.

When she came to her senses from the sudden flash, the jewels placed on the saintess’ palms had already merged into one.

Things that are the same are about to merge into one.

It’s something I’ve seen many times, but it was amazing.

The saintess also made a very serious expression.

I opened my eyes, which had been closed until now, and I was a little scared because they were all white.

“I thought I had seen a lot of things while working as a servant of a god even with a lowly body, but this is the first time I’ve experienced something like this. A lot must have happened. Could you please explain?”

be an explanation

what to do here

Not too long ago, we almost suffered great damage from the religious leader, Daejongsa.

It was difficult to decide whether it would be a good idea to tell this saintess what we knew.

Then Naru said.

“Naru is from 6 years in the future!”

Right.

Naru seemed to have decided that at least this woman could be trusted.

After that, I told this and that to Iris, and Iris, who listened to the story for a while, said “Oh,” or “I see…” .” He nodded.

Then he finally answered.

“Honestly, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I was a country boy planting potatoes in the fields just a few years ago.”

That’s right.

It would be difficult to explain space-time magic or time paradox.

“It’s an experiment to create an artificial demon king… . It’s a very suspicious and difficult story, but I also have a personal interest. Can I have a look? Where is the laboratory?”

Do you have a lot of ambition?

I should go to the laboratory as soon as the sun rises tomorrow morning——just when I thought, the saintess pushed the chair and stood up.

Then he said

“Let’s go right away.”

Right Now?

is it late?

But, well, there was no problem.

We finished our dinner and headed to the lab.

Deep underground in the lab.

Bubbling water tank.

The saintess standing in front of him asked.

“Is the one in here an artificial demon lord? That homunculus… .”

To be honest, I didn’t know much about the experiment either.

So I just looked around, and Brigitte, who had participated in this experiment until this afternoon, sighed and operated the button.

Soon, ugh, the tank shone with light, but the objects inside the tank were quite strange.

What can you compare it to?

It was a wavelength rather than a substance or object.

Pound, pound, pound -.

Something like waves rippled through the tank.

“It’s a heartbeat.”

the saintess said.

About that, Brigitte added an explanation.

“Because I keep failing to make a body. The vessel of the body centered on the core of the homunculus could not maintain its shape and collapsed. Only waves remained like this.”

Brigitte scratches the back of her head awkwardly.

“How did you make Aru when you made it? It’s been so long ago, and the diary was burned, so I can’t figure out what ingredients were missing, so the progress is… .”

Right.

Brigitte is also struggling with the production of the homunculus.

I was too young to remember the process of the experiment or the materials.

Soon, the saintess stroked the glass tank with her palm.

“However, this wave is alive. I am about to be born. It’s a step. one step.”

It’s called ‘living wave’.

Strange.

Is this the new demon king?

Brigitte clicked her tongue.

“Originally, the role of the Grand Master was important. I had to put karma into this artificial creature. However, due to various reasons… .”

In many ways, there were circumstances.

The saintess asked without removing her palm from the cold glass water tank.

“What is this child’s name?”

“name? Well, I had no idea. Just a homunculus or a scarecrow. Or the subject alpha… . What is your name?”

“Names are important. Even a small stone can be given a new meaning by naming it. Alpha–“

the saintess said.

At her words, the throbbing waves in the glass tank changed their shape in a loud and humming manner.

did you react?

Seeing this, Brigitte was surprised.

“Is there a reaction!? So far, no response! What a name! I never thought it would be such a simple problem! Come to think of it, I gave Aru a name before he had a form!”

“Mage Brigitte, by nature truth is easy to understand even for a country boy. That’s why it’s called the truth. Alpha… . There must be a better name… .”

The saintess moved her head as if looking into the water tank.

How do you see the contents of this tank to your blind eyes?

“It seems that I feel some kind of fateful revelation from my coming here. It may be a simple illusion, but… , Let’s coordinate the schedule for the future.”

* * *

“… Naruya, I told you not to enter the laboratory without permission!”

Cecily said to Naru.

Labs with grown-ups.

Naru fearlessly went to the depths of the laboratory, and was very frightened to see the terrifying beasts roaring behind bars.

But Naru couldn’t back down.

“Morumoru, you ran away again!”

Morumoru often ran away whenever he came to this laboratory.

After following the traces of such an anvil, Naru and the children were able to arrive at an underground laboratory with a sparkling water tank.

It was the place where a girl who looked exactly like Tywin had been bubbling in the water tank.

The girl who looked exactly like Tywin was nowhere to be found, but there was something strange instead.

pounding, pounding-.

it was a wave

Waves that come alive in the tank.

“… This… What… ? I think I might remember… .”

Hina looked interested.

When I put my palm on the water tank, the waves pounded even more, as if in response to Hina.

“What is that?”

Cecily soon became interested as well.

Children approaching in front of the tank.

The waves spread even more strangely in Cecily’s blue eyes.

“What is this? i think i saw it somewhere Where did you see it? Was it a nobleman’s party? no. where was it It’s definitely in my memory. Naruya, do you understand?”

Cecily asked Naru.

Of course, even Naruto had no idea what this was.

The moment Naru tilted her head.

“… Molu?”

Throb-!!

Throbbing-!!!

The waves in the tank intensified.

The moment everyone was looking at this scene, something rustled and made a sound.

– Meowong.

“Ah, Morumoru, come here!”
