I went back the way I came. The destination was the place where Thesilid fought the host of the demon sword.

As I climbed the hill, I could see the scene of the tragedy at a glance. Hundreds of corpses lay on the ground that had turned red.

As expected, Thesilid was in the middle of the hill of corpses.

Agnes continued as if she had seen the ultimate weirdo she came across.

Thesilid lay the corpses upright and closed their eyes one by one.

That's what he chooses to do as soon as he wakes up with a body that hasn't fully recovered yet. It was only natural for Agnes to become dumbfounded.

He's not that inhuman. He's doing that because he needs it.

What Thesilid is doing now corresponds to 'charity' among the Seven Holy Virtues. He was now farming divine power in his own way.

I roughly summed it up.

He has a buff that makes him stronger when he does good things.

Without interrupting, I leaned against the tree on the hillside and waited for Thesilid. He came to me after he had offered his requiem prayer for the lost souls.

Ellet.

He continued with an apologetic face.

I was going to go right back before you woke up, but you came looking for me first. Have you been looking for me for a long time?

I found you at once.

I glanced over the organized corpses, and then there was a look of perplexity on Thesilid's face.

He was concerned about my reaction because he was aware that his behavior was not universally understood.

This is

It's probably because of your duty. Good job. Drink this.

I offered a potion to quench his thirst and boost his energy. He accepted it in a daze and opened his mouth.

Come to think of it, I'm late to say something.

What?

Thank you for saving me, Ellet. I survived thanks to you.

It was nothing.

I also enjoyed the Ciabatta Sandwich you left at my bedside. Your cooking skills went nowhere.

Do you want more? I have a lot.

While I was looking through my satchel bag, Thesilid smiled.

You're still trying to constantly feed me something.

I lightly cleared my throat.

Did I?

You did. Thanks for this potion too. I will gladly take it.

Thesilid slightly shook the bottle and then swallowed the contents. I collected the empty bottles that he had finished.

I think this was quite the natural atmosphere for a 10 years reunion. But I talked about it even though I knew it was strange to mention it.

Long time no see, Terry.

Yes, really. Long time no see, Ellet.

As if a question had suddenly come to mind, Thesilid asked me.

Visit . for a better_user experience

How did you get here?

It's hard to explain, but I think you can classify it as a dungeon sink.

Dungeon Sink? That's an amazing coincidence. If I had not been familiar with 'Strict order and Goodwill', I would have believed that a miracle had been granted.

Agnes coughed awkwardly at his bone-filled words.

While suppressing the desire to encourage conversion to the World God denomination, Thesilid asked another question.

Back there, how come you were using Aura? I thought that divine power was your main ability.

Divine power is my main power. I kept thinking that divine power alone was not enough, so I decided to learn the sword.

You have mastered the sword to this levelDid you become an Aura Expert?

Yes. To be more exact it is the upper level of Aura Expert.

At this point, Thesilid's eyes fluttered slightly.

If divine power forcibly awakened by his stigmata is left out of the discussion, his main power is Aura. That's why he was able to become an Aura Expert.

The little kid who had a hard time running away while playing tag in the toy mansionhow can you

Yes, I had a bad time then. Because of that, I was quite shocked and started training in swordsmanship.

The swordsmanship was also unique. Isn't that Saint Agnes' whip sword swordsmanship?

Oh, you got it right. My necklace is a relic of Agnes, isn't it? Agnes' soul was contained here, so I was able to learn swordsmanship. She's right next to me. She's waving at you.

Really?

It really is. Are you doubting the words of your lifesaver now?

No! That's not it.

Right? Then say hello to Agnes.

Well, I am honored to meet the hero of the continent. My name is Thesilid Argent, a paladin from the Inquisition Office: Heretic Judgment Bureau.

A bloody smile crossed Carpeus's face.

Black energy like ash that was scattered throughout the wetland was lifted and wind blew in the clear sky.

It was a rough wind mixed with sand.

Around the time when we crossed over the fifth hill, I and Thesilid felt the abnormality

Huh? What kind of wind has that type of sand?

Ellet, over there.

A strange phenomenon occurred in the direction of the sky Thesilid pointed to.

The day quickly set and night came. It was because a red moon swallowed the sun and caused a solar eclipse.

As if to prove that this was not in the human world, the moon dripped red blood. It was like a surrealist oil painting.

Bloody red moon. There was a demon that it symbolized.

Carpeus

The Demon King of the Abyss of Sand. Thesilid, who had his name in his mouth, bit his lips.

Meanwhile, I couldn't help but be embarrassed when I saw the symbol of Carpeus.

'I can't believe in this unexpected interference by the 2nd place in the Demon Rankings.'

This was not in the original!

In the midst of this, the Inspector insisted on the theory of responsibility and again repeated that the weak protagonist had to be protected.
