“Now, brothers and sisters! That’s all I’ll say about the important caveats! Here are some less important caveats… … .”
Even after Simon joined, Lyrinet continued to explain.
What not to do.
what should not be violated.
You must not eat fish without scales, you must not hold the doorknob with your left hand, you must not clear your throat after Mass, you must not hang a cross on your waist or leg, and you must not press your nose gently.
The reason was that it was theologically unclean.
Simon already felt a tightness in his throat as to why there were so many things he couldn’t do at Epenel.
Lyrinet read out a long list of bans and threatened to take the paper test later.
“really! I almost forgot the most important thing! There is an important ceremony that is only available to students who have participated in the Rookie Worship!”
Lyrinet stretched out her arms.
“Excellent Sacrament! Everyone has heard of it, right?”
“?”
Simon blinked, but the other motives were nodding as if they already knew.
“Excellent! In short, it’s time to share your worries and worries with someone else! During the Newcomers’ Worship Service, select students can request a Sacrament of Excellence from anyone, and anyone in the Sky Island is obligated to accept a Sacrament of Excellence! The same motivation, of course, our seniors and faculty! even-“
Lyrinet approached and pointed at Lethe with the tip of her finger.
“Even our ‘great’ Saint Lethe who is next to me! If the selector demands excellence, it is unavoidable! Do you know how holy the ceremony is?”
“… … .”
Lethe, who was making a puzzled expression, opened her mouth wide and bit Lyrinet’s fingers. With a wag-jak, the lyrinet said ‘Aaaaaaa!’ and pulled out her fingers and brushed her hair off.
“Ouch. Anyway, you don’t have to take it too seriously. It’s like a kind of trouble counseling or a request for help. Everyone, share your concerns with each other, open your heart, and be willing to ask for help! In the process of doing so, bonds are formed among believers!”
“yes!”
It seems like a concept similar to a kind of confession.
Not just talking about your worries, but also getting help from others. In a way, it was a fairly large benefit given to the selected students.
“Then, as today is the first day! We have prepared a place for a simple social gathering!”
I heard that the monks were busy running around in the back, but before I knew it, the tables and chairs were neatly set.
A table of three seats each, and the last table seats four.
Lirinet randomly picked a member to sit at the table and had them sit together. Soon, a variety of luxurious food and drinks were served.
“Is everything decided? Then please have a seat!”
Simon sighed and sat down.
Not being noticed was the most important thing.
If the fact that he is not the dead ‘Euclidean’ and the fact that he is the student council president of the necromancer school Kizen is discovered, even Rethe and Israfil, who look after him, will be in danger.
I had to pay special attention to every gesture.
‘The first appearance caught my attention, so let’s stay quiet for a while and focus on getting to know the kids.’
After the group prayer led by Lirinet before the meal, the students finally enjoyed the food while greeting their classmates sitting at the table.
Simon was so nervous that he was thirsty, so he grabbed the glass next to him.
‘Oh, wine?’
The wine of the Holy Commonwealth is so famous that I was looking forward to it. I took a quick sip and tasted it.
‘… It’s just fruit juice.’
Of course, the selected students were forced to abstain from drinking except for a specific period.
There was no alcohol, but the atmosphere quickly ripened, probably because it was time to hang out with peers.
“Why did you guys come to Ephnell?”
Of course, it was Merrill, the number one starter, who led the conversation at Simon’s table.
Her personality was easy to understand. She is bold, courageous, and her drive to get ahead is great.
As soon as she threw a question to her classmates, she answered herself.
“To start with my story, I will become a saint. any way! No matter what anyone says!”
“… … .”
Simon’s eyes, in detective mode, shone sharply.
A female student sitting next to her said that.
“Is there any reason you really want to become a saint?”
“Then you don’t want to be a sister?”
When I answered the question with a question, the female student flinched.
“Um, of course I want to be too, but… … !”
“That’s it.”
Meryl rested her chin and shook the wine glass of juice.
“It’s the highest level a human in the Holy Federation can reach. I will definitely be the best.”
“… … .”
Simon remembered the profile Lethe had told him about.
First pick, Merrill. This year’s best prospect for Priest, and the girl who became a ‘preliminary’ with the most overwhelming results.
In terms of skill alone, she is the person closest to a saint than anyone else.
At the same time, he is also a potential ‘killer candidate’ who was wary of Simon when he appeared in the form of Euclid. She also has a clear motive to kill her saintess.
“In that sense, number 10 there.”
Deep in thought, Simon realized belatedly that ‘number 10’ was referring to himself.
Surprised, he came to his senses and replied with a smile.
“huh. why?”
“If your skills are bad, is it okay to have a good attitude in class? The service schedule was delayed because you suddenly had a problem.”
Meryl’s eyes sharpened.
“After the worship service and before the entrance ceremony, my plan to practice at the Sky Island Falls at Closing Hall was ruined. How will you take responsibility?”
“No, that… … .”
“It’s your fault that you can’t do it, but I can’t stand hurting myself because of it. I’m warning you-“

“Stop, calm down.”
At the interrupting voice, Meryl’s voice, which no one seemed to be able to stop, stopped like a lie.
Among the 10 selected students, there were only two males, including Euclid, played by Simon.
A handsome man with gray hair with a hint of black was smiling cheerfully. Seeing her confident and arrogant expression, she leaned her back against her chair with her arms supporting the back of her head.
“That’s not 10 times wrong.”
It was the words of a man defending himself, but Simon made a nervous expression.
‘Starting No. 2, Sway Edenhart.’
This man was also a person of interest.
Big stature, glistening eyes, slender but extremely compressed muscular body. Even the beast-like eyes. He was a typical ‘predator’ that there is always one in every class at school.
He turned his head and saw the girl next to him winking. The female students who received the glance showed a reaction of not knowing what to do by covering their cheeks.
At first glance, he seemed to be popular with the opposite s*x.
“Okay, Sway.”
Meryl, her cheeks slightly flushed, said while resting her chin.
“Why did you come to Ephnell?”
“Of course.”
Sway closed one eye and brushed his dark gray hair.
“It’s a woman.”
a guy I don’t like
Simon felt a strong rejection from the first impression.
“Oh, it’s nice to be honest.”
Meryl raised an eyebrow.
“If it’s the Edenhart family, what they want is, of course, the best woman, right?”
“Oh, of course not. For example… … .”
He raised his fingertip and pointed at Merrill. She put on a look of delight, but at that moment Sway’s fingertips passed by and she pointed to a white-haired woman sitting on a podium far away from here.
“Like that woman.”
He was pointing at Lethe.
Meryl’s expression crumpled.
“Saint Lethe? Are you crazy?”
“Isn’t the saintess a woman?”
Sway flirted with his hands in his pockets.
“You said it with your own mouth. We are the same people who eat, sleep, and talk with you. Since we are all the same ‘Ephnel’, the saintess is no longer in the realm of sacrosanctity.”
He pulled the chair and got up slowly.
His slender figure and height made him stand out even more.
“Everyone is watching. I will show you how.”
“Wait a minute! Is that crazy?”
“Are you really going?”
Simon’s eyes narrowed as he watched Sway stride towards Lethe.
‘Sway Edenhart. Total No. 2, specialty is s*xual intercourse… … I don’t think the same points are important.’
The important thing was Sway’s background.
The Priest who killed the most Necromancers in the world.
The Dark Alliance’s most dangerous enemy and war hardliner.
Because that Sway was none other than the son of the famous interrogation chief, ‘Late’.
“I came to personally say hello, Lady of the Star. I heard a lot about you from my father.”
Sway really went up to the podium and talked to Lethe.
Even the 3rd grade Lyrinet, who was chatting with Lethe, stepped back, sweating profusely.
Sway smiled and knelt at Lethe’s feet.
“Grattula mi kibilis.”
Lethe, who was staring at Sway’s smiling face, sighed “Haa” and reluctantly held out the back of her left hand.
He took hold of Lethe’s white left hand, lightly brushed the back of his hand with his index finger, and said.
“I’m sorry, but it doesn’t mean that the saintess doesn’t know manners.”
He suddenly put down Lethe’s left hand, then took her right and grabbed it.
“Above all, I am the one who wins.”
Then, when he reverently kissed her right hand.
turn up!
Lette gripped Sway’s face violently, ready to twist his mouth. His lips protruded like carp.
“Is this bastard gone?”
Lette sighed softly.
The selection students around them were surprised and buzzed, and Lirinet covered her mouth with a contemplative face.
“Say it again. what? Who wins?”
Lette grabbed Sway by the hair and lifted him up at once.
Aaaaaaaaagh!
It smashed a nearby table and slammed Sway’s face into the podium. The two-sided table collapsed, leaving a huge hole in the podium.
“As rumor has it, Sway Edenhart. It’s obvious what you mean Do you think I deal with f*cking perverts once or twice?”
Whoops!
Lette trampled the back of Sway’s head with her shoe.
“Why, man. Who’s the first to do this to you? Or are you pissed off being humiliated in front of your classmates from day one? So what.”
The fallen Sway momentarily put both hands on the floor and tried to raise his head.
“!”
I couldn’t help Lethe’s physical strength with the difference in physique. She momentarily grabs her by the end of her hair and makes him lift his head, then BANG! I slammed it to the floor with a loud noise.
And it made me raise my head again.
“Go home.”
bang!
“While weaving.”
bang!
“Go to your father and try to mess with him. He said he was beaten by a woman while laughing. But what? I have a higher rank than your father.”
Lethe lifted her head, looked at the quiet crowd, and smiled broadly.
“Brothers and sisters, what are you all doing? It must have been an interesting spectacle.”
It was only then that people were startled and quickly sat down and lowered their heads pretending not to see, or chatting as if nothing was wrong.
Lirinet, who was watching from behind, deepened her sigh.
***
Two hours later, fortunately, the Sway incident was in an atmosphere that ended in a happening.
Of course, Lirinet’s performance was the main factor.
“Come on, sisters! Let’s change seats!”
Lyrinet somehow managed to create a daunting atmosphere at the welcome party, sweating profusely.
They had them change seats, and in order to demonstrate how to perform excellence, they held on to one of their motives and talked to them.
In particular, he himself performed excellence, and since he was confined to the sky island, it seems that my taste has changed to that of a man.
The atmosphere gradually loosened up like that, and now the selected students can talk comfortably without the need for a lyrinet.
Lyrinet, who struggled to fulfill her role, returned to Lethe’s side.
“Saint Lethe. Aren’t you there yet?”
Kdak.
Lethe nodded as she chewed on a nearby fruit.
“I heard you are busy these days.”
“Well, if not at a time like this, when would you like to rest?”
“That, by the way… … .”
Lyrinet slightly avoided Lethe and turned her gaze to the side.
Sway slumped his head on the floor, trembling and holding on with his legs attached to a pole in an engrossed rest position.
“Two hours. Isn’t that too harsh?”
“Leave it. We have to capture that bastard’s personality now.”
Lethe said sullenly.
“It’s like that to me, but it’s obvious how it will come out to your classmates and other sisters. We have to prepare it in advance, even for after we graduate.”
“It is, but… … .”
Even in the midst of sweating profusely as punishment for two hours, Sway smiled and licked his lips while looking at Lethe. Lyrinet even felt the horror.
“Does it still seem worth it?”
Lethe also said to the monk next to her without blinking.
“I don’t want to see that dirty face, so cover it with something like a tablecloth.”
“yes!”
‘Saint Lethe and selected students, read and read!’
Soon after, Lette and Lirinet also sat down and exchanged stories about their upcoming schedule.
However, as they were talking, Lethe’s gaze kept sneaking toward a table.
“Saint? Are you concerned about anything?”
“It is nothing.”
Saying that, Lethe turned her head away, but somehow her lips were protruding. With her arms crossed, she tapped my arm with her fingertips. Her gaze returned to Simon’s table at the far end of hers.
‘It’s exciting to be surrounded by girls, it’s exciting. Am I doing the investigation properly?’
***
After the selection service was over, Simon returned to his dorm.
“… … Hey, it’s hard.”
Simon lay down on the bed.
Today, too much has happened since day one. Simon turned his head to look at the bed. He still had no pillows and blankets.
‘They said they’d bring it soon.’
I was tired from dealing with people, but it was still early to go to bed.
Simon sat down at the desk in the room, opened a notebook, and scribbled with a quill. He recalled the suspects and information he had identified today, as well as the details of his investigation of the saintess candidate, in his head, and decided to write them down.
That time when I’m writing down the information that comes to mind.
smart.
A knock was heard.
-I brought bedding.
“Oh, come in.”
At Simon’s words, the door burst open and a woman carrying a blanket and a bunch of pillows came inside.
“I will accept… … uh?”
Then the woman threw down the blanket and pillow, passed them to Simon, and sat down on his bed.
“Lethe!”
She was none other than Lethe. Even in pajamas. She laughed and placed her index finger on her lips.
“I stopped by for a while. Do you want to be doing well?”
