60 – Test (6)

“sit down.”

Inside a narrow space with only a table and two chairs.

The saint and I sat facing each other.

‘When I see the two of you like this, I’m reminded of the blind date I went on a long time ago.’

What happened?

My blind date left in a hurry, saying something urgent had to come up at home, less than three minutes after we met.

When I asked what was going on, I think he said his family was in critical condition.

Anyway, I haven’t been on a blind date since then.

Because everyone who meets me has something urgent to do.

“Let me formally introduce myself again. My name is Rin. I am in charge of divine power.”

“It’s Ronald.”

“Nice to meet you, Ronald. Don’t be so nervous about the interview. The purpose is to help you get along and adapt easily with your colleagues.”

Lin smiled and raised the corners of her mouth.

Short hair that falls just above the shoulders and a captivating gaze.

She had a face so pretty that even celebrities wouldn’t be able to hand out business cards.

‘… As expected, it can’t even be compared to a piece of graphic.’

“I heard from Josef. He said he would only hang out with us when he wanted to?”

I nodded.

“Surely you’re not saying no now, are you?”

“No way. We are people who keep our promises. But.”

Lin took off her stuffy coat and hung it on a chair.

A small but not too big sternum comes into view.

She was wearing a necklace, but it was buried between her bones, which was bothering her.

‘…It’s smaller than Seina’s.’

“Ronald, would you please focus?”

Lin snapped her fingers as if she was aware of my gaze.

Feeling awkward for no reason, I muttered to myself.

“Hmm. I think I should get myself a cross necklace.”

It was almost like a decompression at the Messi level.

You wouldn’t even dream that I was looking at your chest.

Lin sighed and opened her mouth again.

“… Anyway, there are a few missions that you absolutely must complete without fail. There aren’t many, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

“A mission that needs to be done?”

“Yes, for example, today’s mission, something extremely important. I’ll tell you the details later.”

‘I guess there’s nothing I can do.’

I really wanted to refuse.

My goal was to dominate this place.

So, there is a need to build up some level of trust.

“Okay, now let’s get back to the main topic. I’m going to ask you a few questions. Just answer comfortably.”

As I nod, Lin continues, leaning her elbows on the table.

“Okay, first question. Who is our main enemy?”

It was such a simple question.

I answered right away without a moment’s hesitation.

“Anyone who blocks our path will soon become our enemy.”

A normal person would have naturally answered, “The Demons.”

However, the warrior party is a force that is not welcomed even in the human world.

It has been hundreds of years since humans were ruled by the demons.

However, from their perspective, talking about driving out the demons was like chasing after clouds.

Therefore, they do not hesitate if there is someone blocking their path, whether they are a demon or a human.

It is a merciless cutting.

“That’s a great answer. You’re the second one to give that answer.”

Lin looked at me with a satisfied expression.

But I wasn’t feeling so good.

‘I don’t like it because it’s not the first time.’

The first experience is the most important thing in anything.

“Then let me ask you a second question. Have you been involved with the Demons recently?”

“does not exist.”

“really?”

Lin looks at me with a suspicious face.

I nodded again with a face full of confidence.

“That’s right. Okay, I understand.”

She looked at me with a look of reluctant belief.

I had a strange feeling of unease, wondering if he knew anything else.

‘No, that can’t be true.’

I am wearing a necklace that the Great Monarch gave me.

So it will be difficult to easily find out my identity.

“Where is your hometown?”

“It is a town called Vania, located on the outskirts of the neutral country of Afampov.”

“Are all your family and friends there?”

“They were all killed by the monsters.”

“… I talked nonsense.”

Lin looked at me with a pitiful expression.

‘If you want to do some background check, go ahead and do it.’

I’ve already created a fake identity through Vince.

It wouldn’t be a problem if one of my fellow warriors did some background check on me.

“Okay, then I’ll ask the next question.”

After that, Lin asked a few more questions.

I answered everything she said without hesitation.

That’s how the interview ended.

**

“Good job everyone.”

Both Seina and Luna have finished their interviews.

We sat down again in the place where we first met.

“I’ll assign you roles based on what we’ve interviewed. Just understand that. From now on, we’ll hold a strategy meeting.”

“Operation meeting? They don’t serve food here?”

Seina asked cautiously, feeling her stomach.

I almost laughed for a moment, but I barely held it back.

“… You seem hungry? Just bear with it for a little longer. The meeting won’t be that long.”

Josef moved to the center of the table with an awkward smile.

“Okay, enough chit-chat. Everyone, focus. We’ve got some incredible information this time.”

“What kind of information is this? It must be some trivial story.”

Jacob put his legs up on the table.

Carol, who was next to him, hits the back of his head.

“Should I put my legs down during a meeting?”

Jacob lowers his legs awkwardly.

Joseph cleared his throat and continued speaking.

“It’s not a small story. You’ve all heard the rumor, right? The news that a farmer recently discovered an ancient relic that was used to fight the demons.”

“Antiquities?”

“Yes, rumor has it that it’s an incredible weapon. I heard it’s being auctioned off this time.”

‘… An auction?’

This was something that didn’t exist at all in the original.

I listened to Joseph with an interested face.

“That’s why. We plan to steal that ancient relic. It might be the weapon of an ancient warrior, so we can’t let it fall into the hands of the Demons, right?”

“Do you have any plans?”

When I ask with my arms crossed, Josef nods.

“I’m going to explain the plan now. Everyone, listen carefully.”

He opened his mouth cautiously with a very serious expression on his face.

**

Sunlight pouring through the faded stained glass windows brightly illuminates the interior of the cathedral.

A woman at the foot of the cross suddenly opened her eyes at the sudden presence of someone.

“Lin! Are you here?”

It was Saint Lin.

Marilyn greeted her with a more lively voice than ever.

“Yeah, are you feeling better?”

“It’s okay. How about a new colleague?”

The reason was none other than the new adventurers who had joined the group.

“Well, I’m not sure yet.”

Marilyn looked at Lynn with a puzzled face.

“You passed all the tests, right? Then of course you’re good people. But why do you say you don’t know?”

“Yeah. Why would that be?”

Lynn crept closer and sat down gently next to Marilyn.

“Lin, you’re too suspicious. Didn’t you say you had an interview today?”

“I did it, and it was perfect.”

“what?”

“The answers, you know. They give perfect answers as if they know what question I’m asking.”

Marilyn stroked Lynn’s head.

“Then it’s better. Is there any need to hide like this?”

“… That guy was like that too.”

Marilyn’s mouth fell shut at the mention of ‘that guy.’

“… Lin.”

“Sorry. I brought up old stories for no reason.”

Marilyn looked at her with a pitiful expression.

The reason why she, who had always been a spoiled brat, suddenly started acting like an adult was because of ‘that guy’.

At one time, he was the person Lin trusted more than anyone else and spent the most time with.

I’m talking about that guy who coldly sold out and betrayed his colleagues.

“…Does that guy Ronald feel that way too?”

“Yeah… I don’t believe it.”

“Is that so?”

Marilyn slowly got up as if she had no choice.

“Why are you getting up like that? What if you get hurt?”

“But we have a new colleague. It’s polite to show your face at least once.”

“Not yet! If those guys happen to be close associates of the Demon Tribe, who knows what might happen!”

“Don’t worry, Lin. I’m not that weak. And I need to see if I can trust these guys.”

“Well, I said no! They’re still guys I can’t completely trust.”

Lynn jumped up and grabbed Marilyn.

“… Let’s just watch a little longer. And it’s not too late to say hello.”

Marilyn nodded helplessly at her firm attitude.

I know you’re doing this out of consideration for yourself, but I didn’t want to upset you for no reason.

“… If that’s what you mean, then I understand. There’s nothing I can do.”

Of course, that meant I wasn’t going to meet you right away.

She planned to go and meet her new colleagues as soon as possible.

Than that.

There was something I needed to check right away.

“Lin, do you want to come closer?”

As Marilyn spoke with a serious face, Lynn got up from her seat with a worried look on her face.

“Should I help you?”

“No. Can you come closer for a moment?”

Lin approached her.

Then Marilyn cautiously reaches out her hand.

“What happened…”

Thud!

“!’

Lin’s pupils dilated greatly.

“Lin, you need to eat better from now on, right?”

That’s right, because Marilyn grabbed her breasts.

“You work.”

And that day.

The warrior’s wounds became more severe.
