Chapter 34

(Third-party perspective)

At Gray's words, the bishop made a momentary expression.

"...daughter? I beg your pardon, but you must be mistaking me for someone else."

"Don't play dumb with me, Ariamel is my daughter. You're the "bishop," aren't you?"

“Ariamel… Ah, are you the adventurer in question? Yes, I'm the bishop......Just in case what happened to the three people who visited your home?"

"Huh? Do you want to know?"

"Hmm... no, that's fine."

The bishop, sensing Gray's demeanor and words, replied as if he didn't care.

"No way!"

“Bishop?!”

The two knights who had been standing in front of the bishop to protect him shouted accusations. It is a natural reaction when one is superior, the bishop, seems completely disinterested in the safety of one's colleague and companion.

"Shut up. It's their fault they can't even run a simple errand."

The bishop said in response to their voices, annoyed.

"So what exactly is your purpose?"

"Of course, I’m here to settle the matter."

"Oh, you're just going to drop it…So, how much do I have to pay you?"

"………ah?"

Gray's voice was dusky at such words of the bishop.

“In the end, it’s money, right? How much should I give you for the saint?"

"...saint? Ariamel?"

I heard many other words that I didn't like, but I managed to suppress them and responded to the "saint" part..

Well, whether I get angry here or not, the bishop intends to kill me, so the result won't change.

"Yeah, she's the holy maiden chosen by the oracle. Oh...it's okay, she doesn't have to be a virgin."

"Huh?"

What the hell are you talking about? Gray frowned.

"I said it wouldn't matter if you were already holding the saint-sama..."

"Die"

My body reacted faster than I thought, 'I'll kill you now'.

Gray had strengthened his body with magic in advance, and when he caught the bishop who was more than 10 meters away within range in an instant, he swung his sword sideways.

However, the blow is blocked by the holy knight Rondi in white armor.

"Hey, that’s dangerous...if you kill the bishop, it's going to be a lot of trouble.I will become your opponent instead."

Rondi said this with a bit of amusement, and the bishop slumped to the ground with a pale face as he was suddenly about to be cut down.

On the other hand, the two knights were stunned because they couldn't react to Gray's steps, but they soon returned to their senses.

"Huh, hah, you raised a sword at  me... you little adventurer! Hey, Ares, you go too! Kill that adventurer!”

Ares, who had become airborne, shook his shoulders at these words.

He pulled out his sword and held it at the ready with an apologetic expression on his face.

"..."

Gray normally forgot about the existence of the hero. And for some reason, it felt like the hero was reluctantly following the bishop's orders.

(Is this the hero? He's still a child...and somehow, he's not at all what I imagined.)

Seeing such a hero, Gray calms down a little.

Adventurer vs. Hero and Holy Knight.

(Harsalia isn’t here yet . I don't know how strong the hero is, but the man in white armor is probably better.)

At the moment when I tried to step in to neutralize Ares for the time being, there was a crack and Ares was blown backwards.

Rondi hit Ares with his back fist.

"You’re a hindrance... what are you doing, this guy is enough for me alone!"

"What are you doing!"

The bishop raises his voice in anger.

However, Rondi's pride would not allow him to believe that he and the hero had won against a mere adventurer.

(...suddenly you've started to split up the group...)

"Shut up. Hey, if I kill this guy, let me fuck with the saint before we take her home..."

Before he could say anything, a sword flash struck Rondi, which he managed to avoid with a cluck of his tongue.

"Hey"

Gray delivers two or three blows as he speaks.

"That's enough. I'll send you to God, so die happily."
