Chapter 90 – 90. The sun has set
As I walk forward, pushing away the nuns, they hurriedly run past me and block the entrance.
They had their arms around each other and were adamant that they would not let me in, which seemed closer to hatred than belief.
“Get out of the way.”
Even though I warned them not to make them use their strength, they did not back down.
“I can’t do that.”
Is it because she is a nun who serves God?
It was clear that I had a firm determination that I would never give up, but unfortunately.
Things that don’t break usually break while holding on.
“Findenai.”
As if it had been waiting for my call, Findeneye immediately approached with an ax in hand.
“I think our nuns are fortunate though.”
No matter how you look at it, she was sincere as she laughed and swung the ax in the air.
“If you fall behind, God will take you, right? “I feel at peace because I can kill without any hesitation.”
It was a truly Findenai-like way of thinking, but it led the situation in a comfortable direction for now.
“Anyway, one of you is the devil in disguise. “If we look closely together, we’ll find out who the devil is.”
As Findenai wholeheartedly slaughters them and strides forward, the nuns close their eyes and begin to pray, even though they are trembling.
The will itself was acknowledged.
The faith to resist despite being afraid must come from faith.
I didn’t necessarily intend to kill him, but Findeneye’s actions were somewhat effective, so I decided to watch for a while.
“for a moment!”
The abbess who was blocking the nuns’ center clenched her fists and stepped forward with an expression of exasperation.
“All right. I’ll guide you through it. So please don’t hurt the children.”
“Whoa, Director!”
“But that…” … !”
“Everyone be quiet. “No god would want to lose you here.”
“… … .”
In response to the unexpected reaction, Finden Eye slightly turns his head and looks at me. She shrugs her shoulders and regrets it, but lives on.
I did not bother to answer the abbess and entered the convent through the path she had opened.
The inside was quite clean.
It feels like a small brick house where you can tell at a glance that it is always being cleaned.
From the entrance, there was a prayer to the gods and a firm declaration that this was a sanctuary.
“The sanctuary is overrun by demons.”
I remarked that it was an ironic situation, but the abbess must have felt it as an insult as she ushered me in with pounding footsteps.
“Don’t go anywhere else, just follow me.”
The abbess climbing the stairs. The nuns tried to follow her from behind, but this time, Finden Eye blocked the door and kept the nuns in check.
“You mean there’s a devil among these? Everyone stay still. “If we move from now on, we’ll start by shooting the head first.”
When the ax was pointed at with a vicious declaration, the nuns could not even react except to gulp.
“Everyone, it’s okay. “If you just stay still, you won’t die.”
At least Iluania smiled and tried to give some vague consolation, but it didn’t seem to have much effect.
“How ignorant!”
When the abbess saw that, she gritted her teeth and shouted, but I just gestured and told her to go forward.
[Can you feel it? There is absolutely no evil energy inside.]
I nodded slightly at the words of the dark spirit that followed. In fact, the presence of the devil, which was eerie from the outside, was not felt at all inside the convent.
[He must be a truly high-ranking devil to pull off pranks like this.]
The dark spirit puts his hand on my shoulder as if he is nervous. I couldn’t feel anything from her, but I could feel her trembling reaching me.
The very top of Elia Convent.
Where the stairs no longer continued, there were two doors.
One is the door leading to the attic seen from the outside.
Another was a small door hanging from the ceiling that reminded me of a sunroof leading up to the rooftop.
Both had the same characteristics.
It’s none other than locked with a padlock.
In particular, the attic was locked with a very large lock and seemed quite sturdy.
A lock that looks like it would be hung on a precious treasure chest. But the Mother Superior’s expression when she saw it was extremely dark.
The abbess places her hand on a candle placed next to the attic.
A fireball the size of a fingernail rises from the tip of her thin, wrinkled finger, and the candle lights up, brightening the dark staircase.
“Open it quickly.”
“… … “Before that, I need you to promise me something.”
I wanted to do something again, but this time even the abbess was so desperate that I couldn’t ignore it.
“Please, you must not mention to the outside world the people you saw inside. This… … “It’s not just my own greed, it’s for the entire Griffin Kingdom.”
“That’s grand.”
But it was a request full of earnestness. The abbess, even with tears in her eyes, knelt down and grabbed the crotch of my pants.
“please! Please, please. The person inside is a secret until the moment of death. If you are chosen by His Majesty and believe in by Saint Lucy! “You will immediately see what I mean!”
“Hehe, I understand.”
“also! I hope you don’t get too caught up in your conversation with him. This… … “This is advice for you.”
[I’m curious.]
It was a dark spirit who wanted to go through the door to check inside first because he wanted something like this.
[Yay!]

She was pushed away, making a quite girlish noise. She wasn’t just pushed, but light smoke was rising from her body as if she had suffered damage.
‘This.’
I was embarrassed and looked at the dark spirit who was gathering himself. I swallowed my saliva without realizing it.
It meant that the person inside was not an ordinary person.
The abbess slowly got up and took out a key she had hidden in her arms.
The old key enters the lock with a creaking sound, and soon after, the lock comes off with a clicking sound.
“I am… … “I’ll wait outside.”
The abbess began praying with her eyes tightly closed and her hands clasped together.
I slowly grabbed the door handle and went inside.
The inside had such a fresh smell that it could hardly be considered an attic.
Since it was dark outside, the room where the lamp was turned on was much brighter than the stairs, and the dark and gloomy atmosphere I had imagined was nowhere to be found.
A small bed.
And a woman dressed as a nun sitting on the bed.
Her dark blonde hair flows down her shoulders and down to her chest without hesitation.
She must have been a woman of outstanding appearance.
But there was no way to check that.
A white bandage covering both eyes.
The left arm and both legs appear to have been amputated.
In his free right hand, he was holding the rosary of Goddess Hertia as if it were precious.
When she heard the door opening, she turned her gaze towards me and smiled.
“A guest has arrived.”
A voice that warms my heart.
It was a precious experience for me to be able to comfort someone with just my voice.
It was truly divine.
It was truly beautiful.
That’s why it was dangerous.
She, who is so fragile and looks as if she will break at the slightest touch, greets me.
“Hello, my name is Stella.”
A woman with no last name, only the name Stella.
I’ve never seen it in person, but I’ve definitely heard its name.
There was no need to forcefully search through the memories. Because she was such a famous person on this continent.
There cannot be two suns on a continent.
When one sun rises, unfortunately, the other sun must set.
She is the sun of the continent that has set.
A woman who received the love of the gods.
Saint.
To be precise.
She can be called the predecessor of the current saint, Saint Lucia.
She was a retired former saint.
My body couldn’t help but stiffen.
I could immediately understand why the abbess was so trembling and begging.
The words of the saint who comforted the continent should never be known if she had such a terrible appearance.
If the story begins to circulate that God abandoned the woman he loved most, their faith will turn into disbelief.
“You are a male customer who has been visiting for a long time?”
“okay.”
When I answered calmly and was about to close the door, Stella smiled slightly and made a request.
“I’m sorry, but can we talk alone?”
“… … .”
Her head turned to face the dark spirit. Even though her eyes couldn’t see, she accurately found the dark spirit.
[I’ll be out.]
“okay.”
The embarrassed dark spirit was kicked out by a friendly guest spirit, and only then did I close the door.
thud.
“You are a friendly ghost.”
There was no lie in her grinning smile. Even to me, it felt amazing that he could smile such a bright smile even in that condition.
But that’s why I didn’t plan on asking about that.
“The devil was summoned by sacrificing three nuns in this convent.”
“… … .”
“Have you heard anything about this?”
“Hehehe.”
Stella laughed, covering her mouth with her remaining right hand.
“That’s kind of you. Normally, I would start by asking why I ended up like this.”
“I have no hobby of picking on other people’s painful wounds. So, do you know anything?”
“Oh, of course.”
Stella answers with a mischievous smile.
“I know that the devil is hiding in this convent, and I know why the devil came.”
My eyebrows furrow slightly.
She gave answers to my questions so easily.
“Because I am.”
“Because you are there?”
When asked again, Stella pulls the collar of her nun’s robe and shows her left hand. Not even his elbow was left, and the amputation wound was bandaged.
“This is also the same.”
This time, she pulled up her skirt and showed off her legs. I thought it would be cut as well, but it wasn’t.
The bridge has dried out and turned black, like the roots of a rotten old tree.
No, it was something miserable to call a bridge. It was a sight reminiscent of a towel that had been soaked and wrung out.
“This is the same.”
Lastly, Stella pointed to her eyes, which were wrapped in bandages.
“These two eyes are like that too.”
Stella then puts her hand on her head and smiles mischievously.
“There’s one more thing, but it’s a secret.”
“secret?”
“Well, there’s nothing to worry about. Do you know more than that what they mean?”
She said it was no big deal, but what she said next was quite shocking.
“These are all wounds that the devil inflicted on me as my divine power disappeared.”
“… … .”
“Do you know? Only one person on this continent can have divine power. “If the gods have taken away my divine power, the next person will ascend to the position of saint.”
However, we are not responsible for anything after that.
While working as a saint, she wiped out numerous demons and the reason she was able to extinguish evil spirits was because of her divine power.
But then it disappears.
The demons who had been holding a grudge until now rushed in and made the saintess like this.
“Maybe this devil came to get the right hand.”
Her right hand is now the last thing left. I couldn’t help but let out a bitter sigh.
But I was convinced.
The reason the devil responded to the summons even though there was no sacrifice was to take revenge on her.
If you think about it that way, it’s understandable that he’s still hiding and staying here.
“How do you feel?”
“… … “What do you mean?”
She shrugs like she knows everything.
“Can you protect me from the devil?”
For the first time, a hint of desperation appeared in her calm voice as she answered calmly.
Although she couldn’t see her eyes, I answered with a firm expression.
“I have no intention of protecting you.”
“Hehehe.”
“However, I plan to prevent the devil from being active any longer.”
“It’s reliable.”
Stella’s shoulders are relaxed and relaxed. She replied that she was relieved, but also a little disappointed.
“We probably won’t be able to find it right away, right?”
“Yes, the devil is hiding quite cleverly.”
“Hmm, I guess I’ll see you tomorrow too.”
I felt a strange sense of anxiety in her pathetic tone of voice. It seems as if this is not the end of her misfortune.
“It’s a shame, but it’s over now.”
Stella says she doesn’t even want to hear my name and asks me to leave.
I asked, holding the doorknob and releasing it again with my mouth tightly closed.
“Does Your Majesty know this?”
“Your Majesty Opert? Of course you don’t know. “I asked the church to tell me that I am making a good living by farming.”
I frowned at her answer.
“His Majesty Opert has passed away. Now his son Orpheus rules over the griffins.”
Then Stella laughed, covering her mouth with her right hand.
“I didn’t know.”
I grabbed the doorknob again and went out, feeling bitter.
She was standing there blankly, with her head turned towards me even though I couldn’t see her.
thud.
The door is closed, and the abbess is still praying and the dark spirit is looking at me with a worried expression.
I said with a sigh.
“I won’t tell you anything about her. However, we will have to meet again tomorrow.”
There seemed to be endless information she could obtain. She also seemed to know the identity of the devil.
But the abbess was bitter and answered.
“maybe… … “It won’t be much different from today.”
At that time, I didn’t know what that meant.
* * *
next day.
When I headed to the rooftop to find Stella again.
“A guest has arrived.”
She welcomed me with the same lines as yesterday.
“Hello, my name is Stella.”
Tossi didn’t make a single mistake, and reacted exactly the same as yesterday.
“You are a male customer who has been visiting for a long time?”
Only then did I understand the abbess’s words.
Why did you say it was no different from yesterday?
Why did you tell me not to get too caught up in the conversation with Stella?
Why did Stella reply to me that, unfortunately, it was the end, rather than saying she would see me tomorrow?
And what is the final evil curse that Stella said was a secret.
“now.”
It was my first time.
For the first time, my voice trembled violently.
“Who is His Majesty the King who rules the Griffin Kingdom?”
I needed to check.
I needed to be sure that what I was thinking was correct.
And Stella smiled and replied that it was out of the blue.
“Your Majesty King Opert.”
Former saint Stella.
Her time was like she was stuck in a broken clock, walking to the same place over and over again.
