Chapter 70: Selected Members

Having cos carryroo

Just as I had though, that room had been created as the fourth level to the Evil God temple I should make it as soon as I went down the stairs

I wasn’t sure what kind of method had been used to transport me to that room in the first place, but it wasn’t hard to assume that I had been subject to some form of authority

Still, it must have seemed to the people there as if I had been erased from existence It must have seemed the same way to Tena Once I came back, they were sure to be surprised…

”Anri-saht… You disappeared into thin air and leftwhy you'd left…”

Once I had shown ulfed me in her embrace et eyes

I made her worry, did I? Sorry…

It was their fault, all of it

”Sorry, I just got a call from up top”

”Up… top…?”

My finger pointed upward to consolidate my answer, and Tena's eyes followed the indicated path, tilting her head to the side once her eyes rested on the ceiling

”They're lending out a few heads to stop the Idols We can start planning our counterathered”

”Uht I understand”

Tena really didn't seem as if she did, but she had accepted my explanation nonetheless

”Also, just what kind of people will be co?”

”Well, that's…”

Now that I thought of it, I never asked I had no idea Not even how many would come

Both Sophia and Anbar had gone to people over, so it was safe to assume that tcomers would arrive, at the very least Was that all of theh?

I couldn't afford to bide et here?

I greatly doubted that they had ht that they wouldn't be that late

”Excuse me…”

While I was ihts, a somewhat reserved voice called out to ht of a young girl with light purple hair

It was Orlain, that carpenter's apprentice…

”That's no it! I'ht?! I'm the Hero of the Holy Bow, Orlain!”

daht out loud

Orlain showed her resent her voice and letting her face go red

Still, since she didn't have the proof of her position as a hero - the Holy Bow - on her person, coupled with the fact that I had seen her practice the art of carpentry, I didn't think that my initial impression was too far off the mark

Then again, I was the one who had the Holy Bow…

All that aside, the heroes - Orlain included - were supposedly assisting in the construction ofon the situation, I may have to cut her pay…

”Why are you here, then? Playing hooky?”

Orlain shook her head at my inquiry

”Nothing like that The Holy Goddess told me to come here”

Sophia told her to come here? Then that meant…

”You really are playing hooky, aren't you?”

”Why's that the first thing you come up with?!”

Well… I was her employer, after all If soiven her reason to abandon her post, then what else could it be?

But I supposed that the girl, hero of justice that she was, could do little to go against Sophia's co and all considered, she was in all likelihood one of the new members of the Evil God Countermeasure team that had just coainst her, then

Her reactions were hilarious, though Just a butwould be fine…

”You've gone and accepted the orders of someone not your e out on work It doesn't ht herself ordered you to do that”

”Eh? Well, that's…”

”I could have called for you and given the Holy Bow back, but if you left your work on the side of the road, then…”

”T-That's not fair…!”

Orlain went pale at irl did her best to find a justification, already half panicked

”P-Please, give ive back the Holy…”

She waved about in a panic, flipping herself around and trying to depart

I was taken aback a little, admittedly I may have laid it on a little too ether

”Wai -”

”I'll be right back - BUGYAH?!!!”

Not even perceiving my flustered voice, Orlain broke out into a run and headed outside, but never ed in the sky above her and so her in the process
