The Half-Puny Priest Hopes To Retire - The Half-Puny Priest Hopes To Retire chapter 210

210 – Rush (4)

”Kyahaha! You fool! Fool!”

”Fool. No.”

”Fool! Fool!”

”Fool. No.”

In my head, which was dazed from the strong shock, an annoying flirtatious sound faintly echoed.

Just today, I fainted for the second time.

Unlike the first time, when I completely lost my soul, this time I lost consciousness, at least a few fragments of consciousness remained, but honestly, it didn’t make much of a difference.

From noble mtl dot nete

Quality.

The body, as limp as cheese, was dragged somewhere by their hands.

Let alone resistance, I couldn’t even utter a single groan of pain.

This was because the unpleasant hazard, as if there was a thin wall between my body and consciousness, completely robbed me of any strength to resist.

”Haha! You are such a fool! You idiot! Mother said so much that intruders are not killed, but captured!”

”Now, let’s catch it. I tried to catch it.”

”Lie! Pi saw everything I tried to smash his head with! I’ll tell everything to Mother!”

”Oh, no! No! That’s it!”

Every time a girl with a bold appearance muttered something mocking, the other girl’s complexion became noticeably darker.

Mother. The moment that name was mentioned, the signs of anxiety really accelerated.

The sight of the person who had tried to crush my head without even changing his face just a little while ago shaking his head at such a playful remark was scary in a different way than before.

I licked the blood in my mouth and regained consciousness.

Escape was hopeless.

So all I can do now is eavesdrop on their conversations and gather information.

Fortunately, they didn’t seem to have any intention of harming me right now.

Although it was still in the realm of speculation, the reason the girl named ‘Ksi’ I first encountered tried to kill me seemed to be the aftermath of mistaking the order given from above.

There was a lot of other information that could be obtained.

It is highly likely that the saint candidates who are believed to have caused this series of incidents are not a group of individuals, but a group with a leader.

Moreover, it was a significant achievement to learn about the being called ‘Mother’, who is presumed to be their leader.

It was to the point where I wondered if being caught was actually a benefit.

Well, no matter how much information I gathered, it was all useless if I couldn’t survive here.

”We’re home! You are now in big trouble!”

”Ah. Ahhh!”

‘Ksi’got scared and stamped her foot when the girl who called herself’Pi’threatened her.

If you look at the situation in detail, it is a peaceful scene that at first glance looks like an argument between older sisters.

However, the emotions rising in my thoughts right now were quite far from feelings of contentment or peace.

Excited.

It was clear that saying that my heart was sinking was referring to this situation.

Immediately after announcing that she had arrived at her destination, she lifted her sight, which was helplessly anchored to the ground.

The first thing I saw was a huge castle wall and two huge beasts guarding both sides.

The enormous size, which ridiculously exceeded Mr. Evan’s true appearance, was sufficiently frightening and threatening.

At that moment, what captured my entire consciousness was not the scenery outside the gate, but the incredible sight unfolding inside the gate.

Crackling. Chijijik.

”What is this…”

”Uh? Has the intruder woken up?”

She should have been quietly pretending to faint, but she ended up making a sound.

I didn’t know that it might be too late now.

If I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep even now, I might be able to cover up the mistakes I made a little while ago as just nonsense in my sleep.

But why?

My wide-open eyes were fixed firmly in front of me, unable to blink even once.

The cityscape unfolding inside the walls was completely identical to the scene in my memories.

A city center with a beautiful harmony of sophisticated architecture and idyllic houses.

The large number of people gathered on the bright stage made it possible to fully feel the vitality of this city.

Just one thing.

If there is a notable difference, that is.

The part was that they were all looking at the black boxes scattered everywhere as if they were fascinated by something.

It was only a moment later that I realized that the black box was a TV.

At best, it is absurd that a city that reached the Middle Ages would be filled with such civilizational props.

The behavior of the residents, who were looking in unison at the TV screen that was constantly playing only a headache-inducing noise, was so heterogeneous that it could not be described.

A memory from one day that I had forgotten for a while suddenly appeared in my mind.

Sun and wind. Water and soil. A space where there is literally nothing, not even darkness or light.

There, the image of the saintess alone, staring at the broken TV screen all day and night, overlapped with the images of the residents.

”What is your purpose…!”

The answer she gave to that question with a smile was as innocent as a child talking about her future dreams.

”Huh? Are you also interested in the new world that Mother is creating? ”

◈◈◈

”Phew…”

With a relieved sigh, Apis briefly touched her chest.

Not long after Reiji’s whereabouts became unknown, when the saintess spoke to the hero in an argument, she thought she was in trouble.

The fire that seemed out of control was extinguished by the saint’s cold words.

‘My brother is alive.’

From then on, everything went smoothly.

The saintess made all of the party members, who were determined to never come down from the sky until they found Reijis, come down to the ground for a while.

After that, she began to give an untimely speech, saying that in order to get Reisis back, she had to completely believe and follow what she said.

Although his unique words and actions of her, like that of a child who had just learned to speak, were the same, Apis was able to subconsciously sense the depth of intelligence embedded in every word of his speech her .

It was simply surprising to see even the warrior, who was instinctively wary and loathed of the saint’s words and actions, obediently respond to such a discussion.

Of course, there were some creaks.

It goes without saying how smoothly the discussion went, at least considering the fact that the warrior did not try to draw his sword at the saintess.

”While Yongyong is flying around in the sky, we’ll go through another door. Don’t worry about directions. Well, I know everything.”

The saint’s argument was extremely consistent.

While Evan is distracting the black chains in the sky, he wants to rush into the entrance of another dungeon that only he knows about.

”Wait a minute. In theory, there can only be one entrance to a dungeon! But, you’re entering a new entrance. What is that…”

Among the hero party members who lost Raiges and were turned into chaos, Apis, who was able to maintain his composure, expressed his disapproval for a moment, but that only lasted for a moment.

”Are you okay. That’s not the original door, but a hole made to look like a door. There is a separate entrance.”

”What, what! Well, that makes sense!”

”Stop talking nonsense and just follow me. Because I don’t have time.”

”·····!”

It was clear that each of his words and actions contained intense confidence.

But no matter what, is it really okay to believe such nonsense?

It was an unexpected person who awakened Apis, who was momentarily torn between intuition and experience.

”It’s okay. Apis. Because that must be true.”

”Yo, hero…!?”

Not only Apis, but everyone present opened their eyes wide in shock.

”As far as things related to the priest, she is trustworthy in that field.”

The eyes of the hero who spoke like that were filled with layers of incomparable fighting spirit.

What the warrior once said at a drinking party flashed in Apis’ mind.

She declared that for the sake of Reijis, she would gladly lick the feet of the person she hated most in the world.

It was at this moment that Apis realized keenly that what he had said back then was not just a lie fueled by alcohol.

”Just this once, I’ll trust you.”

”Yes.”

For a conversation between people who had formed a close cooperative relationship, the clouds of war in the surrounding area were too bloody.

Rather than clashing with living things, it could be said to be a sense of crisis, as if two unavoidable natural disasters are mixing together.

The absurd wave was so terrifying that even Evan, a dragon, hesitated for a moment.

”Then, I will follow the saint’s plan and try to attract that thing’s attention in the sky for a while. I would like to help more, but since I have a daughter, I have no choice but to be reluctant.”

”No! Mr. Evan! We’ve already had enough help! Help for the world! Again and again! Over and over again! Thank you!”

The expression on the warrior’s face as he expressed his sincere gratitude to Evan was so bright that I wondered if it was the same person from before.

”Then let’s go. Saint.”

”·····Okay. Dog.”

As soon as he turned towards the saint, the light in the warrior’s eyes faded again.

The brightness was just dark and dark, like a black diamond.

The union of a warrior and a saint.

Even though the situation beyond the storybook she had longed for was unfolding right in front of her, she herself did not know why the corners of Apis’ mouth she were shaking as if she were frightened.

Pak!

That feeling of anxiety continued until the moment she found another entrance to the dungeon, just as her saintess had said.

But Apis didn’t know.

The bombs in the hero’s party are a saint and a hero. It wasn’t just those two people.

”I, I’m coming! Lowville…!”
