Vol 2 Chapter 3 (1/2)
2-3 Rank and Commission
A group pulling a cart thatsounds passed before me
Al nun’s habit and priest uniforms
I, together with Branch Leader and Neil-san, are on the way back to the guild
“The people just now…”
“Yeah, the guys froion? It looks like they’re carrying relief goods to pioneering villages” Branch Leader answered instead of the impassive Neil-san
By Baal Religion, you ion!?
“Eh, but wasn’t this country founded as a consequence of Baal Religion?”
Why are they inside Garschia like it’s so common!?
“What, Ojou-chan doesn’t know? When Garschia Kingdouys who can’t throay their faith and anization instead”
What?
It’s different froion?
Branch Leader must have seen ave a detailed explanation
“Well, that full of shi+t Huuys declared that they will go back to the true doctrine and deified the original God of Harvest, Baal That is why they are called the Reflux Sect”
Speaking of which, there were also ion in my previous life
The conversation continued while alked slowly according to Branch Leader’s pace as she use a cane
“Then, the rebellion—”
“Obviously They have no difference frooods for new villages established in reclai Garschia’s founding”
…I always thought that Baal Religion itself is coe my mentality
It is not so so one-sided
“The result is that they are now recognized as a different organization froion Of course, they were not the only group who agreed to that decision”
The charity works appear to be effective to soree
But if it’s only that ain trust
“May I ask one ? The First Prince publicly declared that he is a believer of Baal Religion, is it the Reflux Sect?”
I asked about ood chance
“Obviously, I do not knohere it came from, but rumors that he hates other races spread The charity works of the Reflux Sect helped him so the First Prince’s support is actually not low Still…”
Branch Leader hesitated
The First Prince’s support is not as hopelessly low as I iined
“The royal faious color until now, they did not support a specific religion Then the First Prince suddenly caion Isn’t it suspicious?”
They say that it was a consideration towards a country with varied races
There are ion, elves and dwarves believe in nature, and I heard that Werebeasts have a lot of religion where they worshi+p their great ancestors
As a general rule, you are free to choose your own religion in Garschia Kingdom
As for Branch Leader’s suspicion, the First PrinceDao Empire’s spy and the Reflux Sect is just a cover to conduct activities inside the country
“However, there is no evidence even if it’s very suspicious In addition, the country proious freedom in consideration with the other races, so there is no reason to disqualify the First Prince as King candidate What a dilemma”
Religion is so complicated
Because it is related to a person’s delicate part
It looks like they also can’t ion as an exception
“With that situation, I’ on you, Ojou-chan If you think it’s possible, you need to crush his influence so First Princess Lily can be the King”
Branch Leader ended the conversation like that
“You’re still like that, Neil?”
We returned to Branch Leader’s office
Branch Leader gruh of Neil-san, who is still frozen
But Neil-san walked when I pushed his back
“Oi, Neil-san?”
There is no reaction even if I waved my hand in front of him
Branch Leader became impatient and stepped forward
“You’re getting nowhere Let me do it”
Branch Leader hit Neil-san’s cheeks rather hard
It seems painful
“Wha–!? Where is this-ssu!? Is it a dreaet with a blade-ssu!?”
Neil-san came back
But his way of speaking is different from the usual
“Get ahold of yourself, it’s not a dream And your speech, it turned back”
“No way!?”
“Is your originallike that? Neil san”
“It’s e I corrected it when I entered the Knight Order but it goes out sometimes…”
“If it’s alright with you, you can talk normally in front of me”
We are know each other after all
I am not really an important person so he doesn’t need to be formal with me
“Even I said that to you before There’s no need for formal speech if the person in front of you already knows—-” (Branch Leader)
“If Cathia-san says so, then I won’t hold back-ssu!” (Neil)
“This bastard…” (Branch Leader)
A vein popped in Branch Leader’s head
Why didn’t he comply when Branch Leader asked before?
“Aren’t you very straightforward, Neil In other words, it’s that? But Ojou-chan doesn’t notice at all What a hard nut to crack I’m sure there will be a lot of hardshi+ps”
“N-no, that’s wrong-ssu! Ah, but she didn’t notice-ssu? I’m somewhat relieved-ssu”
“This incompetent…”
What kind of conversation is this!?
This is that, and that is what??
…Let’s go back to the discussion
The one about ranks
“Then, ill be my soldier rank?”
Branch Leader answered while sitting down on a chair
“Initially, the highest we can give is B-rank That is norh mock battles”
Branch Leader kept talking while writing a document
“Judging froic, it is obvious to everyone that doing mock battles are unnecessary Even without that, you have refined sword muscles I will exempt you by the power of my authority as Branch Leader I have to send you to the Capital quickly, and you can just display your true ability in actual combat after that”
“Thank you very much”
It seems like I met her expectations
I’lad
She was also thinking about the time convenience
“B-rank…to become easily above me…huhu”
