74 Episode 14 "Tears in front of the grave".txt (1/2)

The Knights of the Holy Hall have received news that is anonymous.

It was that a blasphemous study was being conducted in an orphanage near the Holy City.

Even after receiving the news, the Cathedral Knights did not move immediately.

It's because they were ordered not to care if it was some kind of prank anyway.

However, soon after that, many orphans were taken care of at the Great Holy Gate surrounding the Holy City.

The children testified that they had fled from that orphanage.

Most of the children were not aware of the situation, but two children explained the situation inside the orphanage.

According to them, illegal experiments were taking place in the basement of the orphanage.

Many children had been sacrificed there, and they had escaped from there themselves.

After receiving this information, the Cathedral Knights finally moved in.

The captain of the Second Squadron, Marcus Pietro Sandalphon, and a few other knights investigated the orphanage.

They found dozens of dead bodies in the basement of the orphanage.

The total number of victims is also believed to be in the hundreds, based on the traces.

An investigation into their identities was urgently needed.

Other illegal drugs, which are being cracked down on in the country of origin, were also found.

Some of the lab equipment was burned and it is not known what they were working on.

George and Lily have already disappeared, and the search for them is currently underway by the Cathedral Knights.

The connection to the missing cases that occurred in the Holy City is also under investigation.

The title of ”Holy Father” given to them has changed drastically.

They are now wanted as blasphemers who committed mass murder.

The children who were taken into custody were to be protected by the Order of the Cathedral until they could be found to take them back. ----

-- is how this one ended up.

After disposing of George and the others, we took the children and headed to the Holy City.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

This allowed them to protect the children as soon as their misdeeds were exposed.

The Saint's Knights stink, but by taking care of them, the Church State itself will be moved to take action.

If the state is going to protect them, they shouldn't be able to do so much.

The child named Michelle and Sheena, who were badly damaged, were admitted to the hospital in the Holy City.

As expected, giving them potions was not enough to heal their bodies.

There was a lot of mental exhaustion as well.

Also, I erased all the information on the ”Heroic Amatsu” from the laboratory.

I've also carefully crushed and burned the data Olga and the others collected from me.

It's unlikely that any more of my homunculus will be created.

It's been a few days since then.

The joking title of Holy Parents has disappeared, and rumors of them are circulating all over the Holy City.

The two of them are pagans who believe in the ”Fallen Light God” Hadeer and sacrifice children.

They were actually demons, and they were the spokesmen for bringing down the heavily guarded Holy City.

They were experimenting to revive the heroic Amatsu: ...... and so on.

It varies from something as if it's off the mark to something that's rather true.

Well, it doesn't matter to those guys who are dead.

I didn't like the title of Holy Father, so it's not a bad thing that it's gone.

There's one more problem with that.

It's that there are people going around making the inconvenient parts of the rumor disappear.

This disgusting one is not over yet.

◆

It had been a few days since then.

Michelle was in a daze.

Her memories of that time in the basement are a little hazy.

She remembered that two men and a woman had come to her aid.

But I lost consciousness soon afterwards, and when I woke up, I had been carried back to the Holy City.

I was relieved when I heard that Sheena and the other children were safe.

It was hard to answer the questions of the cathedral knight who came to the hospital room, though.

The wounds had mostly healed and Michelle was ready to leave the hospital tomorrow.

'............'

I had heard about that orphanage from the Saint's Knight.

Apparently, George and Lily had disappeared from the orphanage.

They asked me if I had any idea where they were going, but I told them that Michelle didn't know.

They haven't found Olga or their son, Dartis, either.

All together, they are missing.

Somehow, Michelle had a feeling that they were no longer alive.

Because that's what it would mean if they were safely here.

It was more than that.

The one thing that kept lingering in Michelle's mind was Amatsu.

'............'

There was a rattling sound and the door opened.

Michelle huffed as she turned her gaze to see if anyone was here again.

'...... I'm sorry to bother you,'

Brother. ......

Because it looked like Amatsu for a moment as he walked in.

Immediately, Michelle realizes that it was a mistake of vision.

It's that dark-haired boy who came in.

I'm sorry to have given you the wrong idea. I'm sorry.

'No. ....... Eto .......

Can I talk to you for a second?

Yes. ......

Michelle then spoke with a dark-haired boy.

He said his name was Amatsuki Iori.

(I knew it looked like him.)

Amatsu and Iori.

Even though they are different in height and hair color, they are somehow similar.

The same goes for their faces, but they're also similar in some way.

The Iori is more tense than the Amatsu, though.

'I'm going to tell you ...... what happened, in case you're wondering.

Then Iori's mouth told him what happened after that.

They said that they worked together to defeat Olga and free themselves.

He was slurring his words, but it seems that George and the others are already gone from this world, just as Michelle had expected.

'What happened to your brother ......?'

After listening to everything, Michelle asked Iori that.

He meditated, and with an indescribable expression on his face, he pulled something out of the pouch.

It was a small, torn piece of cloth.

'...... it is,'

This was all I could bring. His body was ...... well, because it disappeared so quickly.

As he said this toothlessly, Iori handed him a cloth.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

This is what Amatsu was wearing, she said.

'...... big brother, Mr. ......'

............

Gripping the cloth, Michelle shuddered.

Her vision blurred and her nose began to tingle hot.

Still in front of Iori, Michelle struggled to hold back her tears.

A short time later, Iori sat up.

'...... Well, I'd better get going then.'

...... Iori. Thank you so much for helping me.

Iori shook his head at Michelle, who thanked him.
