Chapter 138: Dignity of the Knight Corps (2/2)

We confirmed that and cleared the labyrinth.

By the time I realized, we had returned to the first floor of the labyrinth.

“We’ve cleared the labyrinth with this. Let’s head to Pope-sama’s personal room.”

” … You’ve finally cleared it huh.”

” … Why did you switch at this timing.”

The Darkness Spirit replaced Estia.

“You did well noticing it. Estia is bad with places with a lot of people so I swapped places with her.”

“That’s convenient … perhaps it takes your all just to swap with her in a labyrinth?”

” … That’s not true. You’ve sure put a lot of thought into it.”

Looking at the anxious Darkness Spirit, I hypothesized that perhaps the magical power for spirits to manifest in labyrinths is not sufficient?

“Well, it doesn’t matter. Let’s go to Pope-sama’s personal room.”

“Okay.”

I’ve left Fornoir to Pope-sama’s care since yesterday but I wonder if she’s alright?

Such a thought floated into my head as I immediately walked towards Pope-sama’s personal room.

“Pope-sama, it’s Luciel. I’ve returned after clearing the labyrinth.”

“Enter.”

When I opened the door, the female attendants left at the same time.

While paying homage as a vassal, I began reporting about the labyrinth … about the boss room at the deepest 50th floor.

“Good job the both of you. Let me hear about what happened.”

“The cause for this incident is due to the church personnel clearing the labyrinth after all. Like I’ve mentioned previously, I imagine they turned into undead after they touched the trapped large magic stone and caused the Evil God to appear.”

” … To think that the Evil God truly exists … If father was alive then we would somehow be able to deal with it but …”

Pope-sama was lamenting but I couldn’t do anything about it.

Since I was also deep in thought.

Thinking if I could be like Sir Rainstar, as a Hero, as a Sage and as a Summoner, prepare some kind of measures.

I was regretting not talking with Sir Rainstar more at that time.

However, feeling that this wasn’t the place to talk about Sir Rainstar, I talked about my plans for the future.

“For the next several days, I will enter the labyrinth and confirm that the labyrinth is gradually losing its strength. If it seems fine then I will follow my plan and head towards Meratoni.”

“Understood. I’ll be lonely being away from Fornoir but you’ll probably come back so I’ll endure it.”

That lonely expression gave rise to a question within me.

Has Pope-sama ever left this room?

It was enough for me to question that.

But I also knew that I still can’t decide on what to do.

“Moreover, I’ve confirmed with my eyes that Luciel possesses a spirit’s blessing this time. I’ll be able to check on your condition like this and we’re able to stay in contact with the magic communication bead as well.”

“Yes.”

I hope that Pope-sama doesn’t become something like a stalker.

“That’s all for my report. Darkness Spirit, do you have anything to say?”

“Fluna, Ane-sama and I have still not been able to save you. But we will definitely save you so please wait for us.”

“Thank you, I’ll be waiting.”

A seal? Or a curse? Or is there another reason?

What does she mean, saving Pope-sama?

I didn’t ask about it.

Fornoir was listening to this time’s report beside Pope-sama and after she licked Pope-sama once, she motioned a request for me to open the Hermit’s stable.

She entered the Hermit’s stable without any resistance even though she hated it so much in the past.

” … Then, Pope-sama, I will excuse myself … ah, Pope-sama, I have one wish.”

“What is it?”

“I wish to go to the Adventurer’s Guild tomorrow and heal for the charge of 1 silver coin?”

“Okay. Is it the Whimsical Day that Luciel set up?”

“Yes. It’s been about a year but I wish to return to my foundations.”

“I’ll recognize it as a special case. Even so, as the party who established the guidelines, properly play your role and announce it as a demonstration for healing.”

“Yes, Your Holiness. I will serve to the best of my ability.”

“Umu. I pray that you will continue to do your best for the sake of the church.”

“Yes!”

After we exited Pope-sama’s room, several Knights were waiting for us to exit.

“What happened?

“There’s a great number of people who immediately need treatment. Please quickly come to the large training ground.”

There are other Healers as well right!

Suppressing my feeling to shout that, I ran towards the large training ground.
