Chapter 85 – Elfriede, Advent. – One
“The Altar of Amje is full of medicine. How should I handle it now? Give each one an opinion.”
Cheshire asked while licking the back of his hand.
“How big is the Altar of Amje? Isn’t that enough to keep me in check in El Balom?”
“The size of the cathedral was not small, and the size of the property was not small. Considering that it is an annex, you can see that it is quite large.”
Bang, tapping the desk with his palm to make a sound, Tyr jumped up. Everyone’s eyes are on her at once.
“I beg your pardon? No, then if it’s that big, of course you have to go there and fight. It’s big, so if we fight here, it’s going to be a total mess, right?”
“Yes.”
“Damn it! That never works! How painstakingly I have repaired each and every thing here!”
“That’s right. Tir, you are right a hundred times. But that doesn’t work.”
“No, why?”
The answer was simple.
“Ellis has destroyed the clues that could lead to the main base. She asked the guys who were caught alive, and they all seem to have no idea.”
“…!”
This time, all the gazes of the executives were directed at Ellis.
-Bitch.
-Indeed… It’s useless.
-Uh, uh, what should I do… Patients should not be
– It’s like garbage.
“Whatever. Am I Alphato?”
“What else is Alphato?”
“Am I alright? What does that mean?”
I kicked Alice’s butt once. Kyaheuk-! Making her noise, she jumps up.
No matter how harsh you say from now on, the past, once established, will not change.
You have no choice but to choose the best move in the current situation.
“Seeing that the captives don’t know where they are, they must have been hidden with a magical device. Let’s wait for them to come in and fight them off.”
The Balrog carefully raised his hand.
“I, I, there… Florian… “
Florian. At those words, all eyes turned to me at once. Then it goes to Alice.
“…?”
Alice looks around.
“What? Why are you all looking at me?”
“No, are you not going to the bathroom?”
“Ah~ that~”
As if telling her not to worry about that anymore, Ellis tapped her own belly.
Come to think of it, the bottom of the tight bunny girl costume was sticking out a little.
Did you gain weight? It was unnatural to do so, and he wasn’t the type to allow Elise to gain weight.
“I have a full diaper. It’s fine now! Tohei.”
“…”
Everyone quickly turned their heads to her. I coughed for no reason and changed the subject.
“Ballog. Keep saying what you were going to say.”
“That, that… I’m training, but I’m not sure yet. Do the knights, including me, take part in the battle… ?”
I shook my head.
Practical experience is very helpful. However, that is the story when the experience ends with life still attached.
If you die, everything is meaningless. And their capabilities are still lacking.
“Cheshire.”
“Nyan?”
“I am gathering the knights and servants who are still inexperienced in training and going back to the Wonderfentanil estate. Go and do something useful to El Balom in your own way.”
“Nyan. I get it.”
In fact, anything could be forced to make its use. For example, there is a way to use the existence of living things as meat shields during combat.
‘But that’s the way Elfriede likes it.’
I plan to do this battle in a way Elfriede would hate.
‘Who else should I send?’
It would be difficult for Cheshire to lead them alone. Because there were a lot of people moving around, and since there were so many of them, it was possible to target them from the Altar of Amje.
Simply put, we need a few more people to protect them.
“It’s a daunting task for Cheshire alone. Who can help?”
But no one raised a hand.
Everyone instinctively understands it. No matter what happens, in the end it’s safest to be by my side.
I called Alice for no reason. As always, the most easygoing was Ellis.
“Does Alice want to go? Our Alice, who ran away from Denia.”
It was half a joke, to be honest, but Ellis shook her body. Even to the point of being angry.
“Oh, because I saw you! I’ll prove it when the Altar of Darkness attacks! You can do it!”
“Why are you talking like that?”
“Sorry. I was excited. Anyway, I will definitely be here. I will be by your side.”
After that, I pointed out one by one and asked, but they all seemed to want to be by my side. I had no choice but to forcefully designate one person.
“Jack.”
“Eh~?”
“Surely you are suitable. If a dangerous situation arises, use magic tools to deal with it. Convince those who are anxious.”
“Okay~ I will~”
Humans are anxious when there is no information, but are relieved when there is enough information. Zeke is good with information, so he will be of great help in this regard.
Zeke floats several papers in the air and examines them in an instant.
After creating a frame by updating information in real time, we insert our plan and start calculating. What you are looking for is, of course, the best number.
“What… Okay. I don’t think it will be difficult. Oh, there’s some information I just received, so I’ll have to tell you this.”
As she swung her index finger in the air, a piece of paper was placed in front of me along the trajectory.
“I couldn’t find out where the base was, but… Did you get any useful information though? Please read it.”
“No. Summarize your story.”
“Ugh, ugh.”
Zeke picks up the paper and summarizes it.
“You came out of the Altar of Amje faster than we thought. I’m on my way to this place right now. It is said that movement has been detected in the surrounding area.”
“Okay. Nothing special.”
◈
“Let’s all have a drink. Cheers.”
“Cheers~”
Now that they are attacking from the altar of darkness, we are leisurely clinking glasses filled with chuir.
In fact, it’s more like ‘pretending to look leisurely’.
Denia and I were the only ones who calmly drank chuir, but the executives had a clear expression of nervousness on their faces. Even sipping alcohol seemed to neutralize the tension.
But I wanted to do this.
The tallest guy is sitting on a high chair up there, and the guys below are lined up on both sides, and after removing that, a few more people appear in the dark, setting the mood…
That’s because Elfriede is an expert.
While she was emptying the chuir without a word.
“Hmm?”
All the torches that existed in Denia’s area went out with a hook.
All at once, the fire started again, and a huge number of guys in black clerical uniforms surrounded us.
There was a person who stepped forward with confidence in the group. The guy who was wearing the hood reveals her bare face.
“…Rachel?”
I muttered involuntarily. It must be Rachel.
But she shakes her head.
“Sihel. The Rachel you killed is my sister.”
“And. They really look alike.”
Brown hair. Thin eyes. The resemblance was so ridiculous that she had nothing to say.
But Sihel didn’t seem to like my reaction that much.
“Are you really like me? Is that the end of your reaction?”
“You can’t call ugly things pretty.”
“What the.”
Sihel gave a light chin. Then the surrounding space shakes.
No, because so much mana was fired, the space seemed to shake.
The cozy drinking party is filled with murderous intent to take away human life, and the long-awaited mana arrows aim precisely at the nape of our necks and fly.
Teeing—! Ting! Ting! Ting!
A dense protective film that is impossible to discern with the naked eye extends from Denia.
How much mana was fired doesn’t matter to us. After all, none of them reached us.
“How is it? Keep screaming like that It just makes us more fun.”
Saying that, Sihel suddenly politely folded her waist behind her.
“Follower. These guys.”
Then, a guy presumed to be a ‘follower’ appeared in a dignified manner.
“Where is the heretic who destroyed the cathedral?”
“I broke it. It is not heresy.”
He was a bizarre guy. Literally bizarre
A white mask with eyes, nose, and mouth similar to a mannequin’s face was attached upside down to the face, but it was very unpleasant to see the mouth on top and the eyes on the bottom.
The boy’s voice continues. It was an odd accent, talking as if he were a god.
“The sin of destroying the cathedral where God will manifest will never be forgiven. Ah, queen From now on, I will bring salvation to them.”
“Damn it.”
I murmured out loud.
– Fuck.
Then, except for Denia, the executives next to her also muttered softly. I asked.
“What are you here for? Are you here to sell mats? Or are you here to sell statues?”
“There is nothing to sell. However, you will receive the damages.”
“Damage? Sounds like a loss.”
After rummaging through my arms, I threw a note at his feet. A pitch-black note fell powerlessly to the ground.
“This is information about Elfriede, whom you love so much. Likes, dislikes, hobbies, etc. I wrote down what I know. Use it as a scripture for the Altar of Darkness.”
“Ah, it hurts. It’s painful. It’s so painful… How could such a blasphemous man! Does it exist!”
He picks it up and reads the first chapter.
-The ghost checks to see if Elfriede is under the bed before going to sleep.
-Elfriede likes to play chess.
-Elfriede sees the future.
As I recall, in the first chapter it was probably written that way. She tutted and kicked her tongue, then kicked the note and sent it back towards me.
“Don’t pass this garbage over. Also, do not dare to mention his name. You have committed two sins even now. Ah! Too bad. You must die!”
“…That’s absurd. They are believers.”
It was pitiful. It’s true.
“Denia.”
“Yes. I am listening.”
“Throw the ball over there, like in baseball.”
Denia tilted his head, but didn’t ask me why. He just practices
She’s Fang! She shoots her orb upwards with all her might. How far she flies is invisible to the naked eye.
In response to the cube, I held the bat in my hand. Now this witch’s curse is also mine, so what?
“Hey, follower. Have you played baseball?”
The follower completely ignored my words and started drawing a magic circle in the air. He muttered something, but he seemed to be serious.
Wheein-
As time passed, I began to see the ball fall from above. I said while taking the batter’s stance.
“I’m sorry if I didn’t.”
The moment the ball finally landed right in front of my eyes.
“Huh…”
Inhale and focus your mind.
I swung the bat as hard as I could while feeling the followers who were still drawing the magic circle, the executives looking at me with an expectant expression, the sphere that had fallen right in front of me.
Pure mana dwells in the bat made of ermethylene, and it starts to resonate with a woo woo ung.
And at the same time.
Aaaaang-!
“Homer.”
The ball let out a ghastly scream and stretched out in front.
