A carriage was running on the royal road leading to Cor city. It is also a fine structure with a passenger car, not a wagon. However, it is not decorated with gorgeous decorations for aristocrats and rchants to ride. It makes you feel luxurious, but you don't dislike it. There were ten girls and a woman in her mid-thirties in the passenger car. What they all had in common was that they wore white robes and a chain of amulets that imitated the Irigamit symbol from their necks.
"We will soon arrive in Cor city, which is one of the most remarkable cities in Udon Kingdom. It can be said to be one of the most important places for the missionary work of Irigamitism"
"""Okay"""
Nine girls reply in unison.
"As I always say, the holy god dicine is limited. Be careful not to distribute it easily to anyone other than the influential people or their relatives"
"""Yes"""
"Also, Cor is a big city, but sadly it has slums like any other city. Needless to say, it's a dangerous place. Don't get too close if you make a mistake"
"""Yes"""
(It's kind of stupid. In the slums and in places despised by people, there must be weak people who seek a hand of salvation)
"Sister Evalina, are you listening?"
(Or is it the teaching of the Irigamit religion to distribute the holy god dicine only to aristocrats and rchants and save only the wealthy?)
"Evalina Foddo..., are you listening to !"
The girl, who was looking at the flowing scenery from her passenger car without replying alone, lazyly gazed at the roaring woman.
"Yes. Sister Angelica, I can hear you without making such a loud voice"
Evalina smiles gracefully and Angelica desperately suppresses her irritation.
"It's okay if you can hear it. Don't repeatedly break my words. In the first place, you do not have enough awareness as a saintess candidate. As I always say, we are the Holy Country Jardalk――"
Angelica's long sermon begins, but Evalina doesn't reply, she just smiles.
(She's really hysterical. Her voice doesn't hide her emotions)
-----------------------------------------------
"......Won"
Yuu and his friends, who returned from the Naless Kingdom to the mansion in Cor city late last night, were having breakfast in the living room of the mansion. Then, Lena suddenly murmured.
"......I won"
Lena muttered again, probably because Yuu's reaction was weak. The whorl of hair on the back of the head seed to quiver a little. However, ignoring Lena's mutter, Yuu and Marifa proceed with the al.
"Who did you win?"
Nina asks as Lena felt too pitiful. Lena didn't seem to notice, but her mouth was smiling faintly.
"......You want to know?"
"Ye, Yeah. Don't worry~"
What should she do, Lena is a little too good. And when she get up on the chair, mostly――
"Lena, you're not well-behaved"
"You can't do that."
Beware of Marifa and Namari. Momo also crosses her arms to make an × sign. But it wasn't Lena screaming at that.
"......Heaven knows, earth knows, I know"
It's a phrase she's heard sowhere. It is Lena who takes a fixed pose, but of course she has no aning in these poses. However, it seems to be popular with children such as Namari and Momo and Namari says excitedly, 「Uooo! Co, Coolll!!」.
"......Who called a super genius magician"
"You're saying it yourself, don't you?"
Yuu talks to Nina, but Nina cheats with a bitter smile.
"......Yes. I am the one who overthrew the ten freeloaders Marquis Muss is proud of, two of them, 『Only Vanguard Ranpou』and 『Lump of Ice Gonroya』"
When she takes the final pose, she glances at Yuu and her friends.
"Lena. Did you beat the freeloaders?"
Marifa, who was defeated by Puriri, confirms to Lena with regret.
"......I won. It's two people at the sa ti"
"Wow! The two are A-rank adventurers, aren't they? How strong have you beco to win against them at the sa ti?"
"......It's not that surprising. With my strength, it's natural to win"
When Nina praises her, Lena presses Nina's head as if to calm down. However, her cheeks were slightly reddish and the whorl of hair on the back of her head rotated violently.
"Did you beat two people, regardless of being alone? Surprise――no, you declared that you would defeat the great sage, so it's natural to be able to do this much"
Yuu tries to praise her obediently, but when he cuts his words on the way, he starts a fire.
"......Yes, of course. Next ti I will beat Russ"
"Russ is strong"
"He is strong! But I'm stronger!!"
"......No problem"
"Is that the end of the story?"
"......The end"
Lena sits down after finishing what she wants to say, but there was a person who waited for it――
"It's not the end, is it?"
――Joseph. He was absorbed in eating and he listened to Lena silently, but he seems to have sothing to say.
"I'm glad you defeated Ranpou and Gonroya. After that, you challenged Puriri and lost!"
Lena tries to close Joseph's mouth in a hurry, but Joseph continues to speak.
"Well? After that, you challenged Claudia and lost again and then you challenged Lara and lost again. Did you lose? Until you ca back last night, you kept trying all the ti. It looks like, but in the end you didn't win even once, right?"
"......N, Noisy"
Lena slaps Joseph's back, wondering why he says sothing extra.
"Well, I was training these guys while Yuu wasn't there, so maybe they can win soday"
"Thanks to that, Tin has muscle pain all over her body and she cant work"
"It's like the clan's allies were making noise because they brought a lot of money to the Adventurers Guild to apologize to 『Naless』"
"I'm not interested"
"I'm also not interested. I'm sorry that Morpheus told . I told him properly. Hey, Tin. Bread and soup, plus at and potato salad. Oh, don't forget the alcohol"
"I'll do it all again"
As soon as he said what he wanted to say, Joseph clung to the steak.
--------------------------------------------
Evalina was walking alone in the so-called slum in the corner of Cor city, a girl in a white robe dressed out of place. Even though she was warned by Sister Angelica not to approach the slums so much, she didn't want to hear anything at all.
(It's strange)
Slums are gloomy and heavy in different places, with people wearing rags, unkempt hair, rough skin and muddy eyes. With their glaring eyes, they look at the gaps of a stupid prey. That's what Evalina knows. It was a hallmark of slums in every country and town.
(There is definitely order here)
Evalina casually observes the surroundings because looking at the surroundings with unscrupulous eyes may cause extra trouble, but the buildings are lined with ruins like slums, but the eyes of those who live there are vital. It was full of them.
"Young lady over there
It is Evalina, who was called out and poised, but she relaxed her vigilance by the appearance of the man who called out.
(Uniform......like a guard in this town)
Evalina decides that the man is a guard by his appearance of a man dressed in a beautiful uniform that does not look like belonging to the slums. As evidence of this, although it was a slum, the man was not only in uniform but also his beard is clean.
"Oops, this was rude. Was it Sister-sama?"
"I'm a visitor to Irigamit's protism
"As you can see, this is a slum, not a place where a sister from another country belongs. Th, That's right. I'll take you to the main street, even though I was arrogant"
"Then I will accept your offer"
With that said, Evalina was guided by that man――
"Eh, this is an orphanage in a slum..."
"Uncle"
"What are you doing?"
"Hey Hey, I'm at work, so stop"
Orphanage children hang on the man's arm.
"Ah. Sister, you're really glad you were here?"
"Yes, this is where I want to be. Guard-dono, thank you for your guidance"
"I'm not a guard."
"Eh"
Leaving a slightly surprised Evarina behind, the man leaves walking heavily.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
"Is there a person in charge here?"
Evalina pats the cheeks of the lustrous children, as if she wasn't in an orphanage in a slum.
"Whats the person in charge?"
"It's not about Sister"
"Yes, guide to that Sister"
"Umm"
The children stare at Evalina as if she was appraisals.
"Look, I don't have anything dangerous, do I? Or are you scared of ?"
"I'm not scared!"
"I'm not scared at all"
"Huhu, yeah. You guys look a lot stronger than "
Guided by the growing children, Evalina enters the orphanage.
"Well, you ca from the Holy Land of Jardalk"
"Yes, I'm sorry. My na is Evalina Foddo, who believes in the Goddess of Light, Irigamit"
"Be polite about this. I'm Nouleche Bonnefeld, who worships the water goddess Saraana. But as you can see, the orphanages in the slums are helpless sisters who can't run satisfactorily"
"Humility. Excuse , I saw the children, but they are all in good health, so――don't be offended"
"You don't think they are kids in an orphanage in a slum――isn't it?"
Sister Nouleche spins her words as if to speak for Evalina's painful heart. After that, she smiles and loses her shoulders and Evalina gets entangled and smiles.
"If you don't mind, can I tell the children an old story instead of a difficult sermon?"
"Yes, that would make the children happy"
"Will you tell a story?"
"Yes! I like stories!"
Children who were eavesdropping rushed into the room.
"You guys, eavesdropping is bad"
"I'm sorry, but I've cleaned it up properly"
"Yuu-nii-chan is telling that she is a sister"
"Because I did today's study. Yuu-nii-chan will tell"
(Yuu-niichan?)
"Now, let's talk outside"
Children chase after Evalina.
"You are poor children abandoned by your parents, but Irigamit, the goddess of light, never abandons. Rember that the infinite light always illuminates and watches over you"
To the children sitting around Evalina in the garden, she is going to say so classic words.
(It's strange. The reaction from the children......)
The reaction isnt weak. Evalina felt that the children were feeling not so good.
(This is a sister orphanage that believes in ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) the goddess of water. I wonder if they don't have a very favorable impression of Irigamit, the goddess of light. All right, I'll grab the hearts of the kids with my story)
Regaining her mind, Evalina begins her old tale.
"One of the five heroes was blessed by the goddess of light, Irigamit――"
However, sothing is wrong with the children who were listening with their eyes shining at first. Still, Evalina continues her story.
"There, peace ca to the world again by the power of the human race, but two years later, the beast human race who had ford an alliance betrayed and attacked a human country. Innocent old n and won, even children――"
"Liar!!"
"Eh"
Suddenly, a beast girl stood up and called Evalina a liar.
"This sister is a liar!!"
"No, I'm not telling a lie"
"I listened to the real story from Yuu-nii-chan!!"
"That's right! Sister is a liar!"
Next, a human boy stands up and blas Evalina. The eyes of the silent children were also full of anger.
"That......I, I'm not lying............"
Evalina has spoken many tis in front of many people. However, it has never been taken such an attitude. On the contrary, they didn't even stare at her as if they had hatred and the other party were innocent children. Shocked, Evalina left the orphanage to escape from the children's eyes.
