Chapter 93

“Yes, this is an adventurer named Gray-san, whom I met during our previous mission… It should be documented in the report,”

Scrud explained while briefly glancing in my direction, as if warning him not to say unnecessary things.

“During the crackdown on illegal merchants, right? So, this is the adventurer you happened to encounter in the woods?”

“Yes, that’s right. While we were chasing the illegal merchants, he was under attack by bandits, and we happened to pass by. Well, at that point, he was about to deal the finishing blow to the last of the bandits, so there was no need for us to intervene. We just had a brief conversation afterward. That’s all.”

“…”

Scrud responded matter-of-factly while adjusting his glasses, seemingly distrustful of something. During this time, the full-body armor occasionally made gestures as if glancing in our direction.

It’s amazing how he can lie without changing his expression at all. The illegal merchants he mentioned in their conversation was probably referring to Zanis. However, there must be a reason for not being honest about what happened at that time.

Certainly, it’s a bit troublesome to argue with this full-body armor in this situation. It’s likely that this person is much stronger than the Holy Knight Rondy, who was with the bishop at that time. I don’t want to waste energy here when we have to confront the Goddess’s cult in the future.

And, I want to crush the people from the Goddess’s cult and return home. I want to have meals prepared by Ariamelle together with everyone, share tales of our adventures with Isca and Fio, and read picture books chosen by Nina, Stella, and Ratz to the three of them at night.

…Is the next picture book “The Great Adventure of the Doll Princess” from Nina’s request?

Yeah.

“What’s wrong, Gray?”

While I was thinking about such things, Emilia worriedly called out to me.

“Oh, no. It’s nothing.”

“I see…”

I can’t relax after all.

“Well, it’s fine.”

It seems the discussion between the Holy Knights has ended while I was thinking about the children. The full-body armor spoke reluctantly, as if they had resolved something, and they unfolded their arms.

“Is the discussion over?”

“Yes… I’ll still ask, but there’s no mistake that your goals are related to the Goddess’s cult, right?”

Scrud said while pointing to the ruins below the hill. Makeshift barricades had been set up in front of the ruins, and people in robes were deployed to guard the entrance.

“Yes. We will eliminate every last one of the Goddess’s cult members.”

“No, that’s our…”

“Alright then.”

Scrud interrupted the full-body armor trying to say something.

“How about forming a joint front with us this time?”

He said.

I see. Was that their intention from the beginning?

“Scrud, you presumptuous…”

“This mission involves eliminating the Goddess’s cult, rescuing and protecting the captured people. Bellcliff-san, you should also understand that it is difficult for the two of us to complete both perfectly.”

“Mmm…”

The full-body armor, considering Scrud’s words, folded their arms again. At the same time, Scrud turned his gaze toward me, as if prompting a response.

“…”

I turned my gaze to Emilia, and she nodded sheepishly.

With Ares in mind, and not wanting to get too involved with the church, we decided to go along with it since it had come to this.

“Understood.”

When I responded that way, Scrud nodded once and then turned his gaze back to the full-body armor, Bellcliff.

Bellcliff answered after a moment of silence.

“I understand.”
