132 – Intruder (1)

There is an intruder.

The big team spoke to me in a confident tone.

Although not as good as his sister, he also possesses extrahuman sensory powers.

Moreover, he always maintained a serious attitude, and he wasn’t frivolous enough to joke around inappropriately at such a serious time.

There was no need to verify the reliability of the statement.

About two people were captured by the detection barrier spread throughout the monastery centered on my room.

The question of when the hell was it installed and why did I make my room the center of the barrier crossed my mind for a while.

I didn’t think I was in a situation where I would ask such a trivial question, so I reserved my words.

I was grateful though.

If an air conditioner technician broke into our house without permission and installed the air conditioner without even knowing a mouse or a bird, ordinary people would feel embarrassed rather than grateful.

That’s exactly how I feel right now.

I momentarily wondered if it was the gangsters who had injured the nun, but apparently that wasn’t the case.

According to the nun, the cuts on her hands were purely caused by my own mistakes.

However, it did not change that the uninvited scoundrel had once again invaded the monastery.

I still haven’t been able to loosen the tension.

Viktim said that the news of the invasion of the monastery had already been passed on to the Heretic Questioners.

That’s why those leeches backed off so easily.

It was clear that EJ was what he was referring to in this situation.

”But did you manage to tell me? that? When I heard the voice through the door earlier, it seemed that the heretical newspaper was a woman. Aren’t you uncomfortable with communication?”

”Huh.”

”Oh oh!”

As if answering my question, the big team triumphantly held up a memo pad and a fountain pen.

Applause erupted spontaneously for the flexible way of thinking of the big team, saying, “If you don’t have teeth, you can communicate with your gums, and if you don’t make sense, communicate in writing.”

It seems like just yesterday that he was hugged without warning by the village girls and was holding his mouth like a broken robot.

Looking at the big team that overcame my own weaknesses in such a proactive way, I was proud of everyone.

”Hey, if you don’t mind… May I ask where we are heading now…?”

The nun gently tugged at my sleeve and carefully rang her neck.

There was a hint of concern in his trembling voice.

”Oh, sorry. Sister. The situation is so urgent that I forgot to explain.”

It was a common habit at our party that the more urgent the situation, the less talkative it was.

In a dungeon where you don’t know when and how your throat will fall, your chances of living are higher when actions take precedence over words.

”As I said earlier, it seems that some scoundrel has invaded the monastery here. I don’t know if they’re the same person as the assassins from before, but seeing that Victim is wearing armor like this, it’s clear that they’re pretty dangerous people. But don’t worry. I and Big Team will take responsibility and escort Sister to a safe place.”

”Ah, that, so…”

The nun’s face blushed out of nowhere when I told her to be at ease.

Since Church was being chased by the Heretic Questioner, she couldn’t just leave the current nun, who had no place to trust herself, in a monastery where rogues roamed around.

Downa. It was my judgment that at least I should entrust her to Apis.

I wanted to share the roles, such as taking care of the nun and having the big team chase the intruder, but I soon changed my mind.

If you read a few old detective novels, you can easily understand how stupid it is to split a small number of people into pieces at a place where goons hang out at night.

I decided to postpone the matter about the nun herself for a while.

If I had enough time, I should have been so concerned that I would want to straighten out the mat and throw it away.

It was hard to believe that the nun, not someone else, had prepared such a material with the intention of seriously hurting the saintess.

For now, I decided to focus fully on the problem in front of me.

There was no way the nun would try to harm the saint.

The reason was unknown. I just felt that way.

There was no evidence, it was just an intuition without any verification, but when I came to my senses, my body was already blindly following that intuition.

”By the way, the scoundrel broke into the place where the saintess was enshrined twice, and far from preventing it, the alarm bell hasn’t even sounded until now. Even if the defense of our monastery is poor, isn’t it too poor? How much more is this the capital of the system?”

”·····”

”Umm…”’

Victim nodded insinuatingly at my grievous complaint, and the nun only outwardly dissuaded me, but let out a damp sigh and expressed a silent affirmation to me.

”This wouldn’t have happened if donations from all over the country under various pretexts had been added to the expenses, at least as much as the toenails. right? No, it doesn’t make sense to start with not being able to find a master who can open a first-class barrier while you can afford to paint the shell of the audience room door in the first place. Anyway, old friends from the Vatican…”

”That, it’s only because of the quarrel between the progressives who want to create a friendly relationship with the Magic Tower and the conservatives who fiercely oppose it…”

”Yes? I mean, are you still fighting over that? those nerds? I think I saw in the newspaper that I was fighting over it even when I was in the middle of my academy. Wow·····.”

”Kuhm! Re, Rage’s priest! Kko, kkondae! To say such rude words to the Vatican, who is in the position closest to God in the position of assisting the saintess, who is no different from God’s alter ego! Poetry, God will be angry!”

On the outside, the nun was pretending to be quiet, but judging by the way the corner of her mouth was slightly raised, it seemed that the nun’s true intentions were no different from mine.

”I do not know. The other day, I had a chance to meet that god in person. In my eyes, he didn’t seem to be interested in us enough to get involved in every little thing like that.”

”ha····. Also, is it an absurd story that the god is in the form of a black box? You must be taken to the Inquisition. Didn’t I tell you to go somewhere and not talk about it carelessly…”

”Oh right····.”

”···· Big.”

It was around the time that the big team smiled at us as we indulged in an untimely chat to appease the boredom on the way.

”Anyway, what I’m saying is that the Vatican has too many problems right now—”

”Oh, that’s what I thought too♪”

My consciousness was violently shaken by an unfamiliar voice that skimmed through our conversation without any sign or harbinger.

Boo-!

The reason I took out the cutlass knife I had on my belt and swung it in the direction the voice came from was no different.

It was because the cool voice that gently caressed my ear violently stimulated my survival instinct, which had been buried in tranquility, as if my body would automatically shrink when cold water droplets fell on my back.

My thinking stopped for a moment.

It wasn’t because of the sense of loss that the sword he swung with all his might crossed the air.

It was because of the unbelievable reality that the nun and the big team, who were within reach just a moment ago, couldn’t find even a trace of them no matter how much they looked around.

little bit

Then, out of nowhere, something warm and sticky clung to my cheek.

The moment I realized that it was someone’s tongue was the moment I caught the figure of a woman whose twisted head hurriedly escaped from me to confirm the unknown existence.

”Awesome!”

”Whoops♪”

The arm that I swung as if to drive away an insect floated and crossed the air once, and the woman, who was lightly seated on the floor using the wind pressure as a swing, looked at me calmly.

”Who are you? And where did you send the two people who were here…”

”Hmm? If you are curious about the other person’s name, isn’t it polite in this country to say your name first?”

Is there anything more absurd than being pointed out for your manners by a scoundrel who slaps you on the cheek?

Even the saintess asked for my consent.

”What the hell are we going to do…”

”hi! My name is Beta ♪ Actually, I know your name! Surely, it’s Rage’s Rowville, right? Because I don’t like introductions! I’ll talk straight to the point! Isn’t that good for each other?”

”If you say you don’t want to hear it… what would you do? Are you going to kill me…?”

”Hmm? Oh you? There’s no way a delicate girl like me would do such a barbaric act~ Don’t worry! I’m just going to make it into an emotionless doll and take it home with me~!”

”····”

In a bizarre situation where nothing can be concluded hastily, I was able to assert this one thing.

this woman I’m not insane.
