Chapter 100

After Tatsumi and the others left the temple, a young man bringing along others of the same age entered the temple as if waiting for them to leave .

Oi, Vergils old man . That beauty What exactly did she come to this village for?

Garudo, hm? Those people came from the royal capital Savaiv temple, in order to treat the instance of the disease . Even if youre the mayors son the next mayor, you shouldnt be that disrespectful to these people .

Instance of the diseaseAhh, at Bekkuris daughters place . But doesnt Bekkuris place have some kind of curse on it? His firstborn daughter all of a sudden disappeared from the village, and his second daughter caught a weird disease . Isnt that right, old man? About that house, wasnt it for the better that it was driven out of the village?

As Garudo said that, the young men behind him agreed while slightly smiling .

But isnt that a fine woman . So thats a woman from the royal capital . How much is she for one night? I hadnt heard from the old man .

From a short while ago, while looking at the beautiful womans body and having wild fantasies, Garudo vulgarly smirks .

In Garudos perception, whatever the actual job of the female traveler, they were always prostitutes .

The women travellers that named themselves as doctors or minstrels often had aNightly Side Job .

In reality, there was even one woman who had wanted to be bought by Garudo .

Garudo, looking at the pretty woman from a while ago, thought that she would be cheap and was just for looks .

But, hearing Garudos words, Priest Vergils eyes changed color .

Dont jest so! She is not the same as the women you know! Calse has already changed from how we know her!

Calse you say Is that possibly, theLiar Calsewe knew from our childhood?

Yes . She is that Calse . But now she is the Savaiv Religious Associations highest priest-sama, Giuseppe Chrysoprase highnesss adopted daughter, the famously namedHoly Maiden . She is no longer at the same social status of someone who lives in a border town . Dont try to treat her like how you treat other women!

Holy Maiden Oh yeah, I did hear that there was a beautiful woman in the royal capital who was called that .

Ah, so Calse is thatHoly Maiden? Holy Maiden, is that so, she became that even though shes a madwoman?

Garudos followers all roar with laughter .

They had up until now thought that Calsedonia isLiar Calse, and thought she remained a crazy person .

Hah, becoming a head priest, do you know how great that is? That even the old man knows that? The person I knew becoming a head priest?

You moron!! Even though shes one of Giuseppe highnesss people, far above us in social status you still say that!!

Priest vergil, raging, lets spit fly while insisting so . But his words are still heard by Garudo almost as if hes looking down on the continuing words of the priest, leaving the chapel .

Hey, Garudo . Even though Vergil-sama said that, what do you think?

As one of his followers asks him, Garudo gives a scorning smile .

Fuun, I think priests tend to think theyre better than each other . But does she think shes a prominent nobility in this country? A chief priest, and a dignified noble . Which one do you guys think is better?

Well, wouldnt it be the nobility?

Yeah? Then, theres no need to fear of a chief priest .

Even in their childhood, Garudo and co . had known that they, the priests of Priest Vergil, were at a lower social status than nobility .

For the Priest Vergil who lived at Lagine Village, his work was to pray together with the villagers at the temple on Sundays, to give their congratulations to newborn babies, give their congratulations to the seasonal harvests, and to pray for the dead to rest in peace .

Other than that was to just help treat people that had illnesses or injuries .

Therefore, even though they say that, they dont actually think that they, indispensable to the village, are below the nobility .

Garudo and co, who were still young around the same age as Calsedonia, about 20 years old knew nothing outside of the village, could not understand why the adults in the village bowed to Priest Vergil .

Maybe if Priest Vergil was a magician, Garudo and co . would have perhaps grown up to be different people .

And if they had perhaps socialized with a noble, they would have rashly thought worse than that .

A showy high class noble, and an annoying priest . From their point of view, it was obvious that the noble was superior .

Maybe if they had headed at least once to the royal capital, and had seen the four great gods temples, their dignified appearance and magnificence, maybe their understanding of the issue would have immediately crumbled and left before the sight .

However, the biggest city they had seen was at most Togas city, the degree of which should not be compared to the royal capital at all .

The scale 4 gods shrines were not nearly as big in Toga, so they significantly overlooked the religious associations

Our understanding is righteous .

We are naturally righteous .

(TL: These 2 sentences were said the same way in Japanese . )

For a long time, they have thought so, and beingCountrymen that live in a border town . , they didnt realize the inconsistency of their understanding of the capital .

No, it might be that they would hate breaking the idea of A world of only my rules, and therefore abandon any effort to do so .

Oh yeah, Calse did have a few companions with her . Where did they go?

Other than Calsedonia, there were 4 guys who had arrived at the Savaiv Temple .

Within them was a nicely dressed 40 year old man, another was a companion like boy . The other two were young men dressed in armor, most likely hired mercenaries or guards .

Boss, that nicely dressed old guy, could he have the duty of Calses relaxation during her trip?(TL note: this is meant in a sexual way)

I understand . Even though theHoly Maidenis called such a great position, you cant do it unless youre insane

Either way, they probably would have come here . Even though theyre more or less dressed pretty well, their social status isnt that great . Also, even if the boss of that group makes a fuss, we could just shut him up . Therefore

So, when Calse came here in order to get a welcome party from us?

Right . One night no, well love her until she gets tired of us .

As they pictured the rape of Calse and her companions in her mind, they chuckle slightly .

Preferably, after we enjoy her, we should present her as a slave to him, yeah?

That would be good . Even if she is insane, she is pretty beautiful . She would probably be happier that way .

Yeah, Calse would be happier as a slave of nobility, rather continuing to be an annoying priest .

While Garudo and co . say selfish things, their wicked thoughts inflate while standing in the middle of the road .

Do you remember me? Im so happy

While vulgarly grinning, Garudo walked up to Calsedonia while spreading his arms .

However, while Garudo was advancing on her, Calsedonia was walking back . As a result, the distance between the two did not shorten at all .

What is it, Calse . Were your childhood friends, you know? We used to play together in this village a long time ago . After meeting your childhood friend again, shouldnt you want to exchange a warm embrace?

While affixing a smile that was riddled with ulterior motives to his face, Garudo took several steps forward at the same time .

In the space between him and Calsedonia, someone cut into the exchange .

Hey, small fry . I have no business with you . Get out of here .

Garudo, gripping his fist tightly, throws his fist at the person who cut in Tatsumis chin as a threat .

In reality, Garudo was a man with a big build . His height was just a bit taller than that of Tatsumis or Morgans, and his width of body seemed to fit for how tall he was .

In terms of simple muscle and physical power, Garudo was certainly stronger .

However, Tatsumi, who had continued training with priests, soldiers, coworkers, and senpais, who had crossed swords with fearsome magical beasts, did not even flinch when catching the fist .

If Ive been hearing you correctly, youve been saying quite rude things for a while now?

Hah? Did you not hear me? Get out of here, small fry . Ive got some business with Calse . In the first place, whats with that plain black armor? Aa, is it that you have no money so that plain armor was all you could buy?

When Garudo said that, the company behind him all together laughed loudly .

In that situation, Tatsumi gazed at them strangely .

What he had equipped was high-quality armor which had used a dragons raw materials . Certainly, to the viewer it looked like plain, one color armor, but the actual value of it was higher than the entire village land and its total worth .

What, you couldnt buy the gorgeous armor that actual knights use, since you dont have enough money? The destitute mercenary life must be soo hard .

As if he was giving sympathy, Garudos words are almost like theyre mocking him .

Then, Tatsumi ascertained as to exactly what type of person the man in front of him was .

Hey, Calse . Is this guy a moron?

Yeah, from a long time ago I had thought his only boasting point was his physical stamina and strength, but I didnt get the impression he was smart . As danna-sama says, he is stupid .

Tatsumi intentionally asks like he couldnt hear Calsedonia, with Calsedonia grins while responding with biting words .

Oi, small fry! It seems like you want to meet a very bitter ending? Say that one more time!

Just as he thought, Garudo took the bait Tatsumi had set up, and walked closer with zero caution, his anger visible .

By looking at how he carried himself and his gait, Tatsumi determined that Garudo had not trained in chivalry nor magic at all .

It seemed that exactly as Calsedonia had said, Garudos only boasting point was his arm strength . With his strength, it seemed he had been called theKid General .

In an attempt to restrain Tatsumi, Garudo extends his burly arms toward him .

However, Tatsumi had slightly more talent in handling his body, and let just his left arm pass, and grab him .

Just now, Garudos line of sight suddenly changed .

Up until now, he had been looking at the man in full black body armor, but for an instant his field of view was dyed blue .

The sky

He sees floating white objects clouds, and Garudo recognizes that the blue he sees is sky .

And the next moments contained an impact to his back .

His back was suddenly slammed against the ground, and the air in Garudos lungs was suddenly forcibly expelled .

The moment his arm touched him, Tatsumi threw Garudos body .

Rather than being a throw that made him fly far away, he remained in the same position, and the way he was facing was just forcibly changed .

The front of his body that was facing Tatsumi was suddenly facing the sky . In a state where his body is horizontal to the ground, the height he saw was somewhere around Tatsumis chest .

And, Tatsumi grabs Garudos virtually defenseless neck with his right hand .

He suddenly accelerated Garudos right hand downward, slamming it from his back toward the ground .

To put it into words, Tatsumi used the motion of his body in a throwing technique .

The resulting choking from the impact of his back, Garudos lungs struggled and gasped for air .

However, Tatsumis right hand was digging into his throat, and he was unable to inhale .

As he watched Garudos face quickly changing color, Tatsumi finally loosened his right hand .

If you dont want to meet an even more painful end, dont say anything rude to Calse again, got it good-for-nothing?

Tatsumi, while coldly looking down on Garudo, told him so in a low, resounding voice .

(TL Note: Not sure exactly how to write this correctly . Translated it as In a state where his body is horizontal to the ground, the height he saw was somewhere around Tatsumis chest . )

What are you guys doing!!

Suddenly, with an angry voice, someone quickly rushed over .

Tatsumi, raising his head to see who it was, sees Priest Vergil . Hearing an uproar outside of the temple, he rushed out of the temple in a panic .

Garudo!! After I told you that much, you bastard For this incident, as a parent and as the village mayor you shall receive strict protest!!

Shut up, you annoying grandpa!!

Garudo, while violently coughing finally manages to stand up .

Hey!! Oi, were going!

But, while Priest Vergils angry voice had been slowly gathering a crowd of villagers, and while going past them, Garudo said something to his friends before Tatsumi and Calsedonia could see him .

Dont take it too easy, Calse . You absolutely wont be able to resist me, okay?

As Garudo started to go away, he vulgarly smiled as he said that . Of course, Tatsumi had also heard those words as he was next to her .

Without fully realizing the meaning of the words, Tatsumi and Calsedonia exchange glances, Priest Vergil finally arrived at where they were .

When Priest Vergil finally arrived at Tatsumi and co . , he was out of breath due to his old age, but without waiting he sat down at their feet .

Im terribly sorry,Amaka-dono! Holy Maiden-dono! In his place, I apologize for his rudeness! Somehow Somehow, please take a kind mindset and show mercy . !! Please do not let their error make your impression on this whole village if needed, please settle for his and my shortening life!! I ask you earnestly, earnestly!!

Tatsumi and Calsedonia again exchanged gazes as Priest Vergil continued to apologize, prostrating with his forehead on the ground .
