An overwhelming victory that changed the reputation of Euclid. Students approached and chatted with him warmly.
10 starters won 1. Everyone said it was a big deal, but there was a fuss.
‘It’s a natural result.’
Lethe’s expression, watching from behind, was calm.
‘Both of them have never received formal education from Ephnel, but Simon is a monster with a natural divine capacity and has an excellent bond with the divine beast. More than anything else, it was the practical experience that made the difference. Meryl probably didn’t even know in her wildest dreams that she was the student council president of Keyzen.’
She turned her head the other way.
“… … .”
We see Meryl sitting on the grass with a futile expression on her face.
In fact, from the moment Meryl proposed to fight Simon, Lethe had expected this to happen. Besides, it wasn’t a normal duel, it was Simon’s best fight.
reason for accepting it.
‘This experience will be the medicine.’
Two years ago, when he was the first starter, Lete had a time like that. He only knew himself and overconfided in his own abilities.
If Meryl isn’t a murderer, she wonders if she will one day succeed herself as Epenel’s student council president.
He is an outstanding junior who is not even known.
At this point, there was a need to experience defeat.
‘and.’
Lethe’s eyes turned to Simon again.
‘With this, the motives will also see Simon a little differently, and the effect of loosening their guard and making the investigation easier… … .’
“Great! Priest!”
“Ahaha.”
Seeing Simon with a clumsy laugh surrounded by female students, a tendon grew on Lethe’s forehead.
“Did you do anything?”
“in vain? What do you mean, Saint Lethe?”
Lirinet suddenly stuck her head out and asked, “When did you come?” Lethe said ‘Ugh’ and made a sullen expression, and she quickly faked a smile.
“Oh, um! It is nothing.”
“?”
Lirinet tilted her head once, but then raised the scroll and spoke.
“Anyway, the new math class is over with this! After letting the kids rest for about 20 minutes, we will set off for Epenel Square.”
“Oh, it was a day of street exploration.”
Lethe motioned for her to come closer.
“Lirinet, I have instructions.”
***
The great ‘sky island’.
It is the capital of the Holy Commonwealth, where the core facilities of Ephnell, such as the Priest School Ephnell, the Holy See, and the Cathedral of Light are concentrated.
A mysterious island where huge chunks of rock are floating in the sky. A pure white city was built on this mystical land.
The symbolism of being the closest to the Goddess.
Archaeological sites of theological value.
Even a unique sacred ecosystem that is hard to find on the continent.
It is known that the Goddess directly looks over and takes care of this sky island. As such, the city has recorded an urban crime rate of 0% for the past 100 years.
Only selected people or their immediate family members are given the privilege of living on the Sky Island. The living conditions of people living above and below the sky are incomparable.
The best downtown area of such a sky island.
Simon and the selected students were at the plaza of the commercial district of Sky Island.
‘and.’
Simon’s eyes fluttered wildly. Streets were lined with classic white buildings, with crosses and bells on the roofs.
It was a very pretty, white street.
People all wore priestly robes and walked along the roadside, and birds flew and sang song-like songs.
‘They say it’s a paradise for the living.’
It was such a beautiful place that such expressions really fit.
Not only Simon, but also the heads of the other selected students were spinning around. Only the already familiar sway number 2 is yawning with a bored expression.
“Come on, brothers and sisters! Attention attention!”
Lyrinet clapped her hands and drew attention to the starters.
“The time everyone has been waiting for! From now on, we will explore the streets of Sky Island!”
Wow-!
The selected students cheered as they held hands with faces full of excitement. It was to the point where anyone who watched how twinkling his eyes felt was burdened.
“From now on, we will promote as a team of two and walk around the city! You can come back here in three hours!”
Lyrinet took out her notebook and held it.
“In my heart, I want to let everyone enjoy this street as they please, but it’s an educational time, so that’s not possible, right? We have a mission for you during this tour!”
There was a groan of sadness everywhere. Simon glanced over the details of the mission written in the notebook.
[Buy a sacred potion from the general store.]
[Sprinkle coins at the Mireia fountain and get a souvenir.]
Roughly, these were tasks that anyone could do.
“The missions that can be solved nearby and the missions that need to go a little further! There are several types. The seniors worked hard to plan the course considering the circulation! After completing these missions, we guarantee you free time! Then I’ll set the group!”
The lyrinet quickly tied two people together to form a pair.
“Sister number 1 Meryl and sister Lisara number 9 are a team! And with Sister Maricello number 3… … .”
Lyrinet’s fingertips suddenly swung to the side and pointed at Simon.
“Brother Euclid number 10 is a team!”
Maricello’s expression hardened sharply.
Simon acted expressionless, but in his heart he was smiling.

‘Nice, Lethe.’
This is something I already talked about with Lethe.
The desire to investigate Maricello No. 3 was like a chimney, but there was no point of contact with her. It was also a problem that she kept avoiding Maricello.
‘So I made this kind of place using lyrinet!’
Simon smiled meaningfully, and Maricello’s expression, which seemed to be looking forward to exploring the streets, was rotting because it couldn’t harden.
“Enough! Then, shall we stand together with our new partners?”
No matter how long it was during the worship service, the selected students couldn’t refuse the third year’s instructions.
The pairs chosen by Lyrinet stood side by side. Simon and Maricello stood side by side. Simon rolled his eyes, but Maricello wasn’t even looking this way.
‘I can’t help it even if you don’t like it. I will definitely find out what happened with Euclid.’
***
Lyrinet announced the start of ‘walking the streets’, and the selectors dispersed excitedly.
But a problem arose.
“Lisa, switch with me.”
“yes?”
A few steps away, Maricello grabbed Lisa, number 9, who was walking next to her.
“Ooh, can we switch between ourselves? If you get caught, your seniors will scold you.”
“Looking back, all the 3rd graders are empty. We can just change it between ourselves and then change it back to the original when we check it at the end. please!”
Maricello begged earnestly, and Lisa glanced at Simon.
‘Reject me! Please refuse!’
Simon was also praying in his heart.
However, Lisara’s reaction was strange. Simone’s eyes met hers, her cheeks flushed slightly, and then she turned her head and gave a shy nod to Maricello.
“… … I can’t help it if the sister says that.”
“thank you!”
Simon bowed his head.
That’s how I ended up exploring the streets this time with Lisara.
“Let’s try our best!”
Risara spoke with enthusiasm, but it sounded like she was nervous because she was in front of a male student. Simon also nodded his head, catching her heart.
‘Yes, it is. There is no law that everything in the world will work out the way I want.’
Now that this has happened, he intends to thoroughly investigate No. 9 Lisara.
The possibility that she might be a saint is not small.
Of course, the possibility of being a murderer… … I don’t think so, but isn’t there a saying that you can know 10 ways under water, but you don’t know 1 way inside people. All of the starters except Simon himself were suspects.
Risara suggested, pointing to the mission.
“Well then, let’s start with the relic general store, shall we? Right ahead!”
“good.”
The two walked down the street side by side.
Both of them were still awkward with each other. Speaking of conversation, Simon sometimes asked about missions, Risara answered, and when Risara congratulated her on winning the Shinsu War, Simon said thank you.
In the meantime.
“Does Maricello hate me?”
Simon is out of luck.
Lisara’s shoulders trembled.
“Uh, uh huh? Why do you think so?”
“We’re in the same group this time, and it’s like avoiding me.”
Simon looked blankly at Lisara and continued.
“Maricello took you the other day when we were eating together.”
“… … ah.”
“at that time.”
Simon’s eyes sparkled.
“I wonder what Maricello said about me. Can you tell me?”
“… … that.”
Risara, who had opened her mouth, immediately closed her eyes and confessed.
“Because I am a bad person. I said it would be better not to hang out at all.”
‘It’s black.’
What a bad person! It was a kind of word I had never heard in my life, so it was quite hurtful.
‘What the hell happened to Maricello? Euclid.’
Even if you ask a dead person, there’s no way you’ll get an answer.
Simon opened his mouth again.
“It hurts a little bit. Why does Maricello think I’m a bad person?”
“Geuuuu, I didn’t even tell you why.”
Lisara bowed her head.
“I asked too, but you glossed over. just a really bad person In that way… … .”
To say that someone is a ‘bad person’ and inform a third party and force them to do so without giving a reason.
I thought that Maricello was not normal either.
“Yeah, but.”
“?”
“I don’t think Priest Euclid is a bad person.”
After saying that with her face dyed red, Lisara suddenly pointed forward and said,
“Wow! Everyone is here! Sacred General Store ‘Neftali’!”
“huh. Let’s go in.”
The first place to visit is the Holy Relic General Store.
Simon’s eyes widened as he entered.
‘I can’t believe there was a place like this!’
Each shelf was filled with colorful priest-related items, enough to make the thoughts of the incident that had complicated my mind disappear for a moment.
Simon jumped like a fish out of water.
‘They’re things you’ll never be able to find in the Dark Union!’
The quality was good as it was sold in Sky Island. Simon picked up a nearby basket and frantically picked out the items.
‘Shinsu fodder! Black and White will love it! This is a revised version of the Old Testament! Wouldn’t it be nice to give it as a gift to Professor Parahan? And this for mom… … .’
“You buy a lot… … ?”
Lisara said.
Simon turned his head.
“Oh, don’t worry. I live on my own personal expense.”
“The priest must be rich!”
“Joe, a little… … ?”
He couldn’t tell the fact that he was the owner of the magic stone mine.
In any case, the two of them, who had packed a lot of necessary items and finished shopping thriftly, continued to move on to the next place.
-This is the Millennium Cave! When the saint’s disciples are hiding from the persecution of the Kingdom Army… … .
-Giant koi live in this pond!
It was a really good time.
Simon, who had always been anxious after coming up to the Sky Island, was also having a satisfying time after a long time.
‘No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think Lisara is a murderer.’
She was such a pure girl that even doubting it felt like committing a great sin. As she quickly filled out her checklist, she pointed in front of her.
“Do you want to go over there for a while?”
The place she pointed to was an ordinary church that was not large in scale.
Today was not a worship day, so no one went in and out.
‘It wasn’t on the checklist?’
Still, it was a look of expectation, so Simon nodded and entered the church together.
‘ah.’
Maybe it’s because I’ve only seen large cathedrals, but it was a very small and cozy cathedral.
It seemed like a place where residents of the neighborhood who lived in this area came to worship. It has a pleasant woody scent. The light that passed through the window spread beautifully.
Then Lisara took a quick look outside and closed the door of the cathedral with a thud.
cutting.
Then it was locked with a latch.
“Priest Euclid, I have a favor to ask you.”
“?”
His usual tense voice had changed to a calm voice before he knew it.
Soon after, she climbed to the podium, grabbed the skirt of her school uniform and knelt neatly in the place where the light from the ceiling was shining.
“I have a problem. Excellence. May I ask you a favor?”
Simon’s steps stopped.
‘At this timing?’
