32 – The Crawling Shadow<hr><><hr>

And so, along with everyday life the seasons also gradually began to change When Tatsumi was first summoned to this world, it was the season of the sea, in other words, spring But now the seasons passed and it beca eneral residences of the capital Levantes were ht brown coloured brick like objects That’s why the outer appearance of the city looked coht brown in colour But after the snow started to fall everything became a world of white

And the outer appearance of the city wasn’t the only thing that changed

Tatsues

Because Tatsuht, his rank as a priest also went up froin with, junior priests were mostly priest apprentices, so it could be said that Tatsumi only became a priest in due form after that

Of course, Tatsued to that of a senior priest’s But putting the crest aside, surprisingly he didn’t havethe uniforht,his armor

It was a chain hts Only captains were given Plate arhts wore chain froht

Of course, it didn’t have to be said that when Calcedonia first saw Tatsu on his waist, she literally becaard and spellbound like aTatsumi, all of the cadets successfully passed that ‘Graduation Test’

Other than Tatsuned to one of the different squads of the five knight squads

The reason why Tatsuned to a nor as a clerical knight was that of an exorcist

That’s why, he had to take up anti-de side with anti-personnel cooal, Tatsumi would probably use the monster hunter’s association in the town to participate in roups

Though his path was ultimately a different one than his friends, it could not be helped as he was ai for an exorcist

So ti with his fellow knights, while at other tiside Calcedonia and Giuseppe

Every day after returning horeeted with Calcedonia’s sweet smile He ate his fill of Calcedonia’s ho with her went to bed

And for so Calcedonia froressive So after that heCalcedonia to sleep

Furthermore it was currently the season where snow and cold danced in the sky As a result everyday going to sleep while hugging each other, feeling each others warh his busy yet peaceful everyday life was continuing, day after day

“Oi, you over there! you’re that guy called Tatsu hoood day’s work at the temple He was suddenly called out from behind, so he instinctively turned around

What he saas threethere

They slowly approached Tatsuan to show off their ha as a tree trunk

“We got some matter to talk with you pal”

“Talk…? Talk about what? Correct ht?”

As Tatsurin as they surrounded Tatsumi

“Well yeah But heeey we’re all brothers here right? We won’t take much of your time… But this place is a bit inappropriate for our talk yeah?”

While putting his think arms over Tatsumi’s shoulders like he was his best mate, the man started to lead Tatsuo to was a dark alley by the side of the street It seeuys wanted to have with him was the type people couldn’t have out in the open

Fro tangled up with soh the people in the surrounding stared at the scene with anxious and inquisitive gazes, nobody came to help They could clearly feel the violent aura of the three gorilla like ht’s ars ht have been different

But in this cold season constantly wearing his ar the armor over his clothes, thewater in this season So that wouldn’t be such a good idea

That’s hen leaving the temple Tatsumi took off his armor and put on a winter war half forcefully pushed along by the ed in But the current Tatsumi was different fro pushed from his back, Tatsuht Tatsuuard

Tatsuap in their position, and quickly slipped away from the men And as if to run away, he entered the dark alley himself

“W-Wait a minute, you bastard!!”

“This idiot He entered the alley by himself!”

They were at a loss for aTatsu into the alleyway on his own accord, the men started to smile evilly as they chased him

And then, when the men finally stepped into the alley, Tatsumi was nowhere to be seen

“W-Where the hell is he?”

The diht ahead And there was no place to hide here

If he did go further down the alley Then they should’ve been able to see his back at least

But no, they could not see his figure

The men somewhat impatiently started to look around for Tatsumi, contrary to their confident attitude fro, but as expected Tatsuo deeper?”

“That’s the only possible place dumbass!”

“damn he’s a fast rat I’ll tell you that!”

The men continued to curse loudly as they chased after Tatsuht went further inside the alleys

“What in the world was that all about…?”

While overlooking thefrom above, Tatsumi started to ponder

Tatsus that formed the alleyway He was currently half buried by snow as he was lying down on top of the roof peeking out his head fro into the alleyway, Tatsumi immediately blinked himself into the sky After that when the roof caain to the roof He then blended himself with the snow and started to observe the men

The reason why he blinked tas because from down the alley he could not see the top of the roof

Obviously, Tatsus like the Tatsumi to extort money from him?

No, they even knew his face and naeted hi on but For the ti I need to be a bit more careful I better tell this to Chiiko and Mister Giuseppe too”

Tatsumi hid on the roof for a few more minutes just in case the men cao ho in the cold lightly, Tatsu an to blink fro his way home

At the sah all this in another place,

The supre with a certain person

“It has been a while I heard froht now?”

The room arm as the firewood in the fireplace flared up Giuseppe came here to meet with an old friend

“Yes Thanks to that child’s et to see your old decrepit face one ? Aren’t we both old and decrepit?”

“Ufufu Well that is true I guess”

Even though they were both throwing insults at each other, the two had happy expressions

That was how deep the friendshi+p between the tere, to the point that they could calmly tease each other like this

“So? Why are you here today? Don’t tell me you only came to check up on my health?”

“Of course not, Eleesha The reason why I ca around lately haven’t you?”

Giuseppe’s eyes which were calm all of a sudden became sharper And as if to ed instantly too

“Oh my You’re quite fast”

“Well I have a few eyes and ears too, yes So, what’s your objective?”

“But is it not obvious? To randchild And I just want to find out what sort of person her partner is, that’s all… It would have been strange if I didn’t right?”

“Fumu… And so? In your eyes, hoas son-in-la did Tatsu to ent person whoent So on the contrary I find that a bit suspicious”
