Chapter 38 (1/2)
Then, at night
“…and thus, the greedy old woman was eaten by demons The end”
I was telling so believers (it’s called the child group so girls are also included) in the same kids’ room
Today’s subject is shi+ta-kiri Suzume[1]
Hearing how the greedy old wo basket(I rephrased it as an Iteuel shouted ‘Serves her right!’ and ran around the room
“…it’s a bit sad that she ended up getting eaten”
That was Donna’s opinion
Donna is a fair-skinned, black-haired beast race girl, who has her hair thinly braided hanging down to her shoulders
Apparently this way of braiding is a tradition of her tribe that matches her flat ears and it suits her indeed
Aside frouel and Donna, there are many other children in the kids’ room
Their ages range from 5 years old to 11 years old
The elder group of Miguel, Donna, Beck and Eremia serve as the core
These four were there at the time of the attack on the Viscount Chrebl mansion
The gluttonous Beck apparently fell asleep during the story, she doesn’t get up from the bed
Ereainst the wall in the corner of the room and listened to my story without any particular interest
Eremia has short-cut, silver colored hair and brown skin, a so-called Dark Elf girl
At first glance, she is wearing boyish clothes and she herself conducts herself as a boy, but because of her well-proportioned face and figure, she can’t be mistaken for one
She is the youngest of the four, but in ability she far surpasses them
As to the special squad under the direct command of the Leader
“……oh, did I scare you?
But according to the version I heard she was eaten by demons”
“It’s a hag that cut the tongue of a sparrow!?
If there was a divine e then I would kill her myself!”
As a child, Miguel had no mercy in his words
No, that’s not the only thing
The children here are being trained to kill people
Because of that, they unconsciously consider killing people as a possible option
Of course, I myself took the life of many 「enemies」 since the Ranzrack Fortress
I don’t intend to say anything self-righteous at this point, but hearing children guiltlessly say ‘kill’ doesn’t feel very good
“――hey, Miguel”
“Say Fellow believer Miguel, Fellow believer Orochi
Unlike you, I’m already a fully qualified emissary you know?”
Huhunn, Miguel puffs his chest with pride
Miguel and Ereious organization
In other words, they are perforanization with their own hands
Miguel and Ereanization so they believe the things they are doing are their sacred duty without any doubt
Beck and Donna also finished the training process, received their na the final adjustments in preparation for the sacred duties
Coentle personality, but in the aspect of piety, they are not at all inferior
“Then, Fellow believer Miguel
Why is it then we need this collar?”
Saying that, I pointed at the thing coiled around my neck
There was an inorganic ring with a black luster
It’s soanization call 「Necklace of Loyalty」
Its effect is simple, if the other party wants to punish someone, they can activate the collar anytihten around the neck
Loyalty? Far from it, this is a slave collar
“That is…because we are still young, so we sometimes fall for the temptation of the devils
They said it’s a tool to make us listen to them if that happens…”
“Even though you are a fully qualified emissary?”
“That is so Archbishop-sama decided
All we have to do is kill who they say”
It see about it at that point
“Have you met Archbishop-sama yet?
I haven’t even once seen hiot here”
“Met, you say……Founder-sahtheartedly meet His existence is in different phase(?) fro, is what I heard…”
Miguel is thinking hard while tilting his head like he is about to break out in a fever
Donna joins the conversation
“We just observe froation seats as the Archbishop-sama descends at the time of the mass
It seems he isn’t here in the nest all the time”
“Hnnn……?”
Maybe he is so
The anization is handled directly by the Leader, Gazaine, therefore, it has effectively become an almost complete dictatorshi+p of Gazaine
That being said, it doesn’t look like he is abusing his power that much
There is no way the emissaries who believe their creed would ever disobey him anyway
If there were any malcontent elements, then I would’ve talked to them and stirred a rebellion, but I don’t hear so ious organization
I have to say, Gazaine’s position as the proxy of the Archbishop Glutometsa is as firm as stone
As a whole, this religious organization is governed exceedingly efficiently
If I had to point out where that efficiency comes from, then I would say the clarity of the creed that requires obedience to the Evil God, Monguenes, the system of reward and punish to how anization structure that resembles a monastery
I can only assume that it was a terribly sarasu〉 and this nest
“But, we didn’t even get to see Archbishop-sao, so we are fortunate now”
Donna said
“Right right Ever since Archbishop-saed too
The organization got bigger and a base perfect for 〈Yatagarasu〉, the nest, was also found”
Miguel joined the topic
……wait, he just said so I can’t overlook
“Eh?
The nest wasn’t your hideout before?”
Miguel was shocked by my words
“Fellow believer Orochi, don’t say hideout, it’s like we are bandits or so
Say sacred residence instead”
“N-no, that’s besides the point, but did you move to this 「sacred residence」 only recently?”
“That’s right Archbishop-sama sent a divine revelation about this wonderful base, thinking of the e from battlefield to battlefield”
“……the Archbishop-sama who didn’t show himself to the emissaries before, did that?”
This time Donna answers
“Nn Since we settled into this base there wereso it became fun
The adult e newcoer in the future”
“Hnn……?”
