Chapter 176 – Special Order: Find Miri!! (One)
Special Order: Find Miri!! (1)
Kwaaang!!
“What on earth happened? Why doesn’t Miri return?”
When Miri, who went to the Temple of Icaris, did not return after four days, Juno became furious and led his soldiers to attack the Temple of Icaris.
“Calm down, master. Miri said it might take about three days. It’s a mission that might take about a day more.”
“That’s right. You know that Miri’s personality is very spontaneous, right? It could be because there’s something additional to investigate. Why are you in such a hurry when you know so well how strong Miri is?”
“Hmm… But… I feel uneasy and reluctant…”
When Kurimu and Miruku tried to dissuade Miri by telling them about Miri’s identity, Yuno calmed down her anger, but she kept pacing back and forth in her room due to the uneasy feeling she felt in her heart.
In the morning, Rachel opened her mouth as she watched Yuno complaining about her anxiety without having her favorite morning sex.
“I understand your Majesty’s feelings, but… If you raise an army and attack right now, Miri’s hard work could be in vain. If you’re feeling uneasy, how about sending someone else who won’t be suspected?”
Yuno’s expression brightened slightly at Rachel’s advice.
“Hmm… That would definitely be good. Someone who wouldn’t be suspected… Intelligence agent? No… It’s like sending in the military if they get caught… But someone trustworthy… Ah!!”
A person who seemed like a perfect fit appeared in Yuno’s head, and Yuno quickly set out to find him.
“Hyung! I said I’d see you in a month, but you came a little early? Why did you ask to see me?”
The person Yuno was thinking of was Sentress.
‘Sentrice is unusually quick to act and judge the situation quickly. Moreover, since he is still a child, there will be no suspicion, so it can be said that he is better suited than anyone else for this mission!!
Perhaps thanks to the gold coins that Yuno gave him, Sentress had been eating quite well and had gained weight and seemed to have grown a bit taller, so Yuno smiled with satisfaction and patted Sentress’s head.
“Centris. You know the Temple of Ikaris, right?”
“Yes. This is the place where the strange liquid came out with my brother last time. My brother said he still smells it sometimes, but it hasn’t been resolved yet?”
“Um… Actually…”
After explaining that his wife, Hana, had gone out to investigate at the Temple of Icaris and had not been able to contact him for four days, Juno told him about Miri’s impressions.
“So what you want from me is to find that Miri or check his whereabouts?”
“That’s right. You might be in danger for no reason, so don’t do anything more than that.”
“I understand, brother. Instead, please take good care of my sister while I’m away, and be sure to give her a reward later.”
“Don’t worry. Isn’t he still the emperor of the Balkans?”
When Yuno bumped her Sentress’s head and told her to do her a favor, she blushed and grunted.
“That’s right, but when you and I see each other like this, it’s because he doesn’t look like the emperor.”
Sentress, who had left her head in Yuno’s hands for a while, patted her chest, telling her to trust only him, and then disappeared into her alley in her slum.
Centoria arrived near the Ikaris Temple in an instant, and she was peeking at the temple through the alley.
“Wow~ It’s been a few months since I’ve been here. It’s gotten a lot more fancy than before. I guess there are a lot of people donating money to the temple.”
‘When I brought Centoria, they treated me very kindly and honestly told me that it would be difficult to fix my eyes, so I was grateful, but they are brainwashing people here… There was strange-smelling water coming out from under the temple… But these people really do that. Is it? Of course, Yuno… No, His Majesty the Emperor is a trustworthy person…’
Centrice’s face turned bright red for a moment when she thought of Yuno, but soon she shook her head and came to her senses and began to look at the Ikaris Temple and think about how to find Miri inside.
‘Anyway, how do I find someone named Miri? Of course, it won’t be found in places where people usually go to worship, right? If a child like me came alone and said he wanted to look inside, they wouldn’t listen…’
At that moment, her sentry caught the sight of an old woman who lived next door coming out of the temple.
Then the Sentress waited for her a little while longer, and when she got on the road toward her house, she ran and spoke to her grandmother.
“Grandma~ Hello~”
“Oh, aren’t you Sentress? What are you doing here?”
When the grandmother next door saw Sentress, she hugged him happily.
“Ahaha, I was polishing my shoes over here for a moment when I saw her grandmother. What’s going on here?”
“Hohoho, I suffered a serious injury to my ankle last time, and the saint cured this old man. Since then, whenever I have time, I visit the temple to listen to Ikaris’ wonderful words…”
Haha, should I trust Ikaris for once?”
“Of course it should be!! Lord Ikaris will soon purify this rotten world. Everything will burn and be reborn… To that end, I am even prepared to sacrifice my old life to Ikaris. So, you too, Sentress, Ikari. Take refuge in the monks and receive salvation… You must do so!!! He is the only light that can bring salvation to the entire world, huh? Where has he gone?
The eyes of her grandmother, who had been looking at her with such warm eyes just moments ago, suddenly lit up with a pink frenzy, and the terrified Sentress escaped from the arms of the grandmother next door and ran deep into her alley. I ran out to the place.
“Gasp… What Yuno-hyung said was true… They’re brainwashing people at the Ikaris Temple… We have to stop it!! If we leave this alone, my younger brother Sentoria won’t be safe either…”
After taking a moment to catch his breath and make up his mind, Sentress’s eyes began to shine brightly.
“Hello~ Welcome to the temple of Ikaris~ Oh? Kid. How did you get here? Did you come to see Ikaris?”
Sentress looked as pitiful as possible as she looked at the priestess who was treating her so kindly as before.
“Well, I’m an orphan who makes a living by shining shoes… I was just run over by passers-by, fell, and got a big cut on my arm… But I don’t have money for treatment. So I thought the temple of Ikaris might be able to help…”
“Let’s see… Wow, that’s a huge cut? But don’t worry. Ikaris helps everyone who needs help.”
The priestess looked at Sentress’s arm, which was cut deeply, and her blood was dripping down. She very kindly guided her to the clinic and treated her arm.
“Okay, the treatment is complete. But if you move right away, the wound may open, so take a break. There will be a meal in a little while, so make sure to eat. Understood?”
“Yes. Thank you.”
‘It’s okay… It hurt a little, but it had the effect of deliberately cutting off her arm… Now that we’re inside… Let’s take our time and look for Miri.’
After a brief rest, bread was distributed for meals. But Sentress smelled a very faint… Strange smell inside her bread, and she immediately quietly threw the bread away.
‘As expected… They’re brainwashing people by giving them that strange water under the pretext of helping… Bad guys… Miri must have been victimized by these guys too!!’
Sentress, determined to somehow find Miri’s location, got up from the bed and began walking around the temple.
Unlike the entrance to the temple, there were many people inside to receive treatment or to worship the statue, so the Sentress’ actions were not particularly noticeable, and the Sentress was able to look around safely.
‘There is no second floor in the temple, and the layout shows hidden defenses… Then there must be a place that goes underground somewhere… There it is!!’
Then, the Sentress caught the eye of the stairs leading down to the basement and the priest guarding them.
‘Tch… There’s a soldier guarding it… How do I get in there?’
After thinking for a moment, Sentrine reached into the skirt of the girl in front of her in the crowded hallway, pulled down her panties, and quickly hid her body.
“Aaaaah!!! It’s a pervert!!”
The young lady’s screams that echoed loudly in the hallway drew everyone’s attention, and beyond her sentry’s expectations, she grabbed the man behind her by the collar and began to drive him into a molester.
“W-what’s going on?”
At that sound, the attention of the priest guarding the stairs was also drawn to that direction. Worried that an injury may have occurred, the priest left his guard post and ran to the screaming girl.
“Guard!! Here is a molester taking off women’s panties inside the sacred temple!!”
“I-I’m not!! Why am I taking off the lady’s panties? It’s a cotton cloth that I won’t eat even if I give it to her!!”
“What? Miss? This guy is real!!”
“Now, calm down!! You must not cause trouble in the sacred temple of Ikaris!! Ugh!! Don’t fight!! Brothers and sisters, please calm down…”
As people who were easily agitated under the influence of the brainwashing drug began to fight, each taking the side of men and women, the priest had to sweat to calm down the fighting people.
And no one there noticed that a small child had gone underground.
