Episode 144 Volunteer work during Golden Week (1)
The ten-day long holiday has begun.
Weekends, anniversary, and Easter events in Rune. It was a golden holiday where you could play for more than two weeks in a row if you combined the class schedule well and even made gaps.
Since the beginning of the semester, everyone has been happy about having such a long holiday.
Freshmen in the first year have a good time by traveling to the ecliptic or inviting them to their homes in order to get closer to their classmates with whom they have only recently become friends.
2nd and 3rd graders went to recuperation in a deserted place to do assignments that they hadn’t been able to do, prepare for exams, or rest their bodies exhausted from studies.
4th graders study hard regardless of weekdays or holidays as graduation and employment are just around the corner.
… … And here, despite being a freshman, there was a person who was put in a position to work hard.
Bikir. It was the hound of the iron-blooded swordsman.
slap- slap- slap-
A day of volunteer work. Bikir was now sucking his mop.
A large orphanage ‘Indulgentia’, which exists on the outskirts of the ecliptic, is a place where many children are staying, so there are endless jobs happening every day.
Cleaning, laundry, cooking, serving meals, washing dishes, transporting equipment, repairing facilities, playing with children, etc… … .
Volunteering on campus is limited to providing support for them as there are separate professionals, but there is no such thing as volunteering outside the school.
You have to do everything yourself.
During the holidays, when the students of the academy went to rest or play, Bikir was forced to live and eat here and do all the dirty work.
And of course.
“Hey, Bikir! Say thanks! We also returned after the holidays!”
“Because of the academy’s noblesse oblige policy, I have to fill the volunteer hours anyway. It wouldn’t be bad to fill it up once and for all.”
“I-I also like volunteering, so it’s okay!”
Tudor, Sancho and Piggy. These loyal friends also followed Bikir.
Vikir silently nodded.
“thanks.”
Everyone was surprised when a thank you came out of Bikir, who was always taciturn and blunt.
“Uh hmm hmm.”
“Hemm hemm.”
“Hehehehe.”
Tudor, Sancho, and Piggy all laughed and started washing the mop together.
Bikir also looked at them and smiled lightly.
No matter how much they try to act like adults, they are babies who have just turned 18, bright guys who can feel good all day long with just one thank you from a friend.
But Bikir himself did not.
A worn-out soul and the weight of life he carries make it difficult for him to smile.
Bikir was constantly thinking and thinking while wiping the hallway where the children in the nursery school played with a mop.
‘It ended up in the newspaper yesterday.’
Vikir recalled the newspapers created at the academy, and the newspaper articles that were subsequently published throughout the ecliptic.
[The villain ‘Night Hound’ who drove the emperor into fear, what is it!?]
-October 0, last night at dawn. An incident occurs when a mysterious stranger appears and destroys the 00 nursery school… …
Unusually, the attacker did not touch the riches in the safe… …
[Is it okay as it is!?]
-The nursery school, monastery, hospital, etc. managed by the Quo Vadis family, a religious chant, are in crisis one after another… …
Meanwhile, inside the Quo Vadis family, there is currently a fierce confrontation between the Old Testament and the New Testament… …
On the other hand, some criticize that countermeasures against terrorism are being delayed due to internal political strife… …
[The former vs the new, only the terrorists are happy in the Quo Vadis family fight!?]
-The civil war of the Quo Vadis family is getting worse. This long confrontation, which began with the controversy between Cardinal Humbert of the Old Testament and Cardinal Martin Luther of the New Testament… …
The confrontation between the Old Testament and the New Testament is really old, and the question of whether it is fair or not for these two churches to sell ‘indulgences’ and ‘indulgences’… …
Accordingly, as the investigation to catch the terrorist is delayed, citizens’ concerns are growing. …
[Is ‘Night Dog’ really a real villain?]
-All the citizens of the city are trembling with anxiety at the appearance of a monster that haunts the ecliptic… …
However, some people are constantly raising questions about whether this villain really exists… …
Why are only welfare organizations under the jurisdiction of the Quo Vadis family being raided one after another? This may not have been the result of a power struggle within the Quo Vadis family… …
Everyone knows that there is a long-standing war between the Old Testament and the New Testament within the Quo Vadis family… …
Whether this is a horror created by the confrontation between the Old Testament and the New Testament, or whether a rare devil really appeared, will be revealed later… …
.
.
Bikir read through the newspaper articles.
Thanks to Piggy, it was easy to collect newspaper materials from all over the ecliptic.
Vikir tried to combine the information Piggy gathered with the information sent by Sindi Wendy.
The conclusion is this.
Coincidentally, the places Bikir attacked in disguise as ‘Night Hounds’ were all places where Quo Vadis, a religious chant, was involved.
‘I just followed the smell of the devil, but only certain groups get caught? Then there’s a problem.’
Vikir remembers the commonalities of the people he has killed so far.
Unidentified money, corpses of young boys and girls, and beasts whose faces melted after death.
It was wearing the mask of a religious group, but it was clear that the devil resided inside the mask.
Just like when Set les Baskervilles of the Baskervilles.
‘… … And the most suspicious guy is also in this nursery.’
Bikir raised his head slightly while mopping.
At the top of the wall in the hallway, he saw the portrait of the head of the nursery.
A middle-aged middle-aged face.

When he was young, he was a sculptural handsome man who would have made women cry quite a bit. She even had a face resemblance to a famous theater actor who had recently retired.
<Quality L Indulgentia>
The Indulgentia family, a collateral branch of the Quo Vadis family and a priestly family of the same Runic religion.
Quilty is the head of the Indulgentia family and at the same time the head of the Indulgentia Nursery School.
This is probably the largest nursery in the ecliptic.
But what’s the point of all those façades?
‘… … Only one thing is important.’
It is said that he is the target of Bikir’s assassination this time.
It’s the Golden Week holiday, so the period is wide.
Having succeeded in naturally infiltrating the hideout of the target, all that was left was to get down to business.
Bikir used cleaning as an excuse to go back and forth and meticulously inspected the terrain inside the building.
‘The building is incredibly strong for a nursery school.’
Bikir mopped, estimating the number of rebars in the pillar.
This nursery school was sturdy enough to be used as a military facility.
Also, the structure of recruiting orphans was a bit unusual. Rather than accepting children from small orphanages in the provinces, all they did was to send out notices so that the children would come from far away.
Since the facilities are so good and the welfare is excellent, many children voluntarily visited the place, so it was ambiguous to know how many children came and how many went out.
Even if one or two zeros are subtracted from the number written in the ledger, no one will know.
‘The more orphans there are, the higher the amount of subsidies, so no one would think that the number of children would be reduced and reported.’
Ordinary child care centers tend to exaggerate the number of children they have in order to inflate their subsidies.
Therefore, most of the audits are conducted based on whether the actual number of children is less than the number of children on paper.
But demons are the opposite.
As for them, it is advantageous to deceive them by saying they have few orphans and receive more.
That way, you can suck blood without getting sick.
Bikir noted the number of children in the Indulgentia Nursery, which seemed to be much higher than the paperwork indicated.
Some praise Quilty for giving kindness to as many children as possible without being greedy for subsidies, but… … Well, Bikir’s opinion is a bit different.
‘Boys and girls under the age of 13 who run away from home, have no relatives, and have not even properly reported their birth… … All of them are children whose identities are difficult to trace.’
Bikir found several suspicious things here in just one day.
Moreover, this strong smell of demons that permeated the entire nursery school made that conviction all the more solid.
‘I’ll see the blood right away from tonight.’
When Bikir is making a bloody plan on the inside.
“Hey, hey… … .”
There was a voice that broke Bikir’s thoughts.
“?”
When Bikir turned his head, he saw an unexpected person standing there.
Short, short-cut white hair, fluffy like a puppy.
Even though it was a holiday, a female student dressed neatly in an academy uniform was looking at Bikir.
Bikir knew her name.
No, if you were a first-year student attending the academy in the first place, there was no way you wouldn’t know her.
Sinclair. The head of the Fever Donation Division.
For some reason, she came here to do volunteer work.
