“Laus! I salute you for your bravery.”
After Simon calmed Serapion, the runaway God Beast, the middle-aged Paladin who was in charge of the field approached.
Now, Simon, who has gained a lot of strength from living in the Holy Commonwealth, politely put his hands together and greeted.
“Whatever you say, it’s all thanks to the goddess’ protection and help.”
Was it the kind of answer that adults like? A satisfied smile crept across the paladin’s lips.
“Okay, leave the cleanup up to us. Shouldn’t the student hurry up and go back to Mohangje?”
“I see.”
delayed too much time
Even if it wasn’t, this holy place was very far from the dock, but the battle dragged on for a while.
At this rate, it seemed difficult to return in time for the closing ceremony.
– Kreung!
Then Serapion approached and lowered himself. Her belly was on the floor, her head alone, and her tail wagging gently.
Simon’s eyes widened.
“Are you sure you want to give me a ride?”
– Kreureung!
“thank you!”
Simon did not decline. He immediately climbed onto his back, and Seraphion stood up.
Perhaps this was an unexpected situation, the watching Paladins oh! I let out a small exclamation.
Facing the surprised paladins one after another, Simon calmly waved his hand and said,
“Please take good care of the aftermath! Lady Lethe is coming to take charge of the case, so please cooperate at that time!”
“Ah, I see.”
Leaving behind the middle-aged paladin’s rather bewildered answer, Simon lowered himself while holding on to his mane. Immediately, Serapion stepped on the ground and ran out.
The two divine beasts riding on both shoulders excitedly shouted, ‘Nyan! Nyan!’ He groaned and rubbed his face against Simon’s cheek.
“Hold on tight so you guys don’t fall too!”
-Meow!
Because of its size, Serapion was incredibly fast. The surrounding scenery seems to be pushed back, and then, before I know it, I see a marina in front of me.
All the residents who were nervous about the fact that the selector who had left for the holy land did not return, all raised their heads.
“Three, it’s Serapion! damage!”
“no! Look up!”
I could see Simon riding proudly on the back of a large divine beast. Residents who were trying to evacuate stopped with a murmur.
“Laugh.”
Simon descended from Serapion’s back. Then, he walked calmly and held out last year’s wool to the village chief, who alternately looked at Shinsu and Simon with a bewildered face.
“It ended safely.”
“Oh oh… … !”
The village chief was thrilled, took the wool, and set it on fire.
“Listen, everyone! The missionary truly saved our village! Our village is safe again this year!”
The shouts of the villagers echoed deafeningly.
Among them were those who looked at Serapion in disbelief.
“Seh, this is the first time I’ve ever seen Serapion listen to someone else.”
“Originally, don’t divine beasts follow only the masters they choose. He heard that he has followed no one since his master died a hundred years ago.”
Simon said goodbye to the residents one last time and boarded the ferry boat floating on the canal again.
‘Then, let’s go see the culprit’s expression.’
***
The final destination of the waterway.
In order to see the end of this year’s Mohangje event, there were so many people that there was no time to set foot at the end of the waterway.
However, the atmosphere here was somewhat subdued.
The bishop, who was in charge of the closing ceremony, was only looking at the clock on the clock tower with an anxious face, and the selectors who arrived first were either leaning against the wall or sitting spread out on the floor.
“Oh really. Why are you so late?”
Merrill, number 1, who wanted to become the main character of the day as soon as possible, folded her arms and grumbled.
“That bastard number 10, the number is the lowest, and the incoming speed is also the lowest. If you look at it, you can’t do anything right.”
Saying that, she glanced around.
“Oh, really. Will Sister Lisa get angry if I say this? ‘Don’t speak badly of Euclid in front of me!’ do.”
When Meryl gave her face, No. 9 Lisara’s face flushed red.
“I’ve told you several times.”
Number 3, Maricello, also approached Lisara.
“That kid is garbage. I don’t think we need to fall apart because of a guy like that… … .”
“He is playing.”
At the sudden interruption of the voice, Maricello lit up his eyes and turned his head away.
And the moment I checked who said it, I bit my lip.
The main character of the voice was Sway 2, who sat on the floor and sighed.
“I mean Judging is distorted when you see such obvious tricks.”
He swiped through the air.
“That bastard is a bad boy. It’s garbage. So don’t be friendly. There is a degree to being sick. It is the number 9’s job to judge others, but who are you to force others to judge?”
At Sway’s sudden interruption, everyone either shut their mouths with stiff faces or turned their heads away pretending not to be interested.
But Maricello couldn’t back down.
“You are defending number 10… … .”
“It’s starting again.”
Sway sighed.

“advocacy? If you’re not close with that bastard, you’re on my side, and if you’re close, you’re on someone else’s side. Are you a f*cking kid? Didn’t you break your habit in middle school?”
As Sway stood up, in an instant a shadow formed around Maricello.
“Ah, the plate was laid, so that’s good. Talk in front of everyone here. Why was #10 a piece of trash and what the hell did he say? We can listen and judge accurately.”
Maricello’s face became contemplative.
“that… … .”
just say it
You just have to exhale.
A chance to turn the motives completely against Euclid. But she couldn’t bring herself to open her mouth, and only her lips were twitching.
“Patience.”
As if there was nothing more to see, Sway turned his back.
“Did you say that shit all through the worship service without even giving a proper reason? If you want to do politics, build a justification and do it properly. Don’t set the mood.”
“Stop it, Sway.”
Merrill, worse off, interjected, put a hand on her lips, and pointed backwards with her chin.
Bishops and festival officials were watching this side.
Sway clicked his tongue and sat down again.
“Looks like you came just in time.”
“!”
A commotion could be heard from far away.
The head of the selectors turned. I saw one last ferryboat approaching on the waterway.
Even the bishop, seeing him, raised his voice.
“Now, the last selectee has arrived safely! I hope everyone will welcome you with a big round of applause!”
Loud cheers erupted, and Simon smiled broadly and waved to the crowd.
Meryl frowned.
“Why does he get more attention than I who came in first!”
While she grumbled like she didn’t like it, Lisa hopped and put her hands together.
“welcome! Mr. Euclid!”
Simon rowed to the cheers of the crowd. I could see the facial expressions of the selected students in the distance one by one.
‘I’m here.’
People who are happy, people who are happy, people who are dissatisfied, people who are relieved, and people who are angry.
Looking at their various expressions, Simon waved to them with a wide smile.
‘I’m sorry it didn’t go the way you intended.’
Simon captured all the expressions of his comrades in his eyes. Because I knew everyone’s personality and individuality, I could understand everyone’s expressions.
Except for one person.
‘Aitula No. 8.’
One of the selected students who didn’t really have a presence.
She was looking at Simon with a restless expression. It is unnatural for a person who has never had any contact with Simon to act like that.
And another suspicious one.
‘Why are you making that face?’
A starter waving to Simon.
‘Lisa.’
It was a scene that passed by in an instant.
Number 9 Lisara was staring at the back of Aitula’s head with cold eyes.
***
The mohangje has ended safely.
Not only the villages along the canal, but the whole island of Sky were soaked in the festive mood.
Everywhere I went, there was a lot of delicious food, and everywhere I looked, people were dancing or singing merrily.
Simon also sat down on the grass to rest.
Chop chop chop!
Whitei and Kkamangi, who worked hard today, and today, Akalion, the bear god, were also out eating the god feed.
Seeing him eat with his head in the bowl, he must have been very hungry.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
And Lette, who had just dealt with this case, came to Simon.
She directly explained the situation.
Fortunately, Serapion’s baby was found safely. It is said that a baby Serapion was sleeping in a basket in front of an old woman’s house in a nearby village, and the old woman saw it and immediately reported it and was able to find it.
He put the baby down in the forest and waited for it. After a while, Serapion appeared and took the baby safely.
It was decided to cover up this situation until the Euclid incident was over.
“Oh, the old woman stated that she did not see who had left the basket.”
Lette tickled White’s stomach.
She laughed at Hayang’s cute reaction, then turned her head to Simon and returned with a serious expression.
“By the way, it’s naked. Hiding a blanket with the smell of a baby in a holy place is a good intention.”
“huh. If it’s a holy place, other people can’t enter without permission, and they must have targeted me.”
Lette straightened up and sat down.
“Can you still go to class? For the time being, being at home and being careful… … .”
“no.”
Simon smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
“In fact, no matter how much I investigated and searched around like a rat, there was no movement on the part of the murderer. I was nervous on the inside.”
Simon raised an eyebrow.
“But this time, I’m glad that the response came just right. You’re really paying attention to me. You think you’re guarding me I think you’ll find it soon.”
“… … .”
Lethe, who had been listening quietly, raised her head.
“Why?”
“huh?”
“Strictly speaking, it’s someone else’s business, but the reason for doing this… … .”
“The debt must be paid. You also helped capture Everkire on Roch Island. and.”
Simon revealed this.
“It’s not just someone else’s business, Lete, it’s your business.”
“!”
A slight red aura appeared on her face after receiving the unexpected blow.
Then puck! and struck Simon in the chest.
“Why are you hitting me!”
Simon crouched down with his body wrapped around him.
“I laughed unluckily.”
“… … ?”
Soon, Lethe twisted her white hair with a pouty expression.
“And you, missions and investigations are good, but touching my juniors is unforgivable.”
“Do you touch me? I never did.”
“ah! I hear something in my ears, but don’t be fooled! All you have to do is find the saintess and the murderer! Got it?”
I didn’t understand everything, but Simon nodded meekly.
In any case, the Sky Island incident was Lethe’s affair, but now it has become Simon’s own affair. It was obviously a ploy to kill Simon.
‘I should find this debt and return it coolly.’
The moment when the two of them are chatting about this and that.
Sharak.
Simon and Lethe’s eyes moved at the same time when they heard the sound of the grass shaking.
In fact, I was sensing a presence from far away. Simon nodded, and Lethe said.
“I know you’re hiding, so come out.”
chuck. chuck.
Soon, a girl wearing an Epenel school uniform walked among the bushes.
Simon immediately recognized who it was.
‘No. 8, Aitula!’
I never thought I’d meet you right here.
After she said hello to Lethe, she noticed and then opened her mouth.
“excuse me… … What should I say to Priest Euclid… … .”
“!”
Simon and Lethe’s eyes twinkled at the same time.
Soon after, Lethe got up from her seat.
“I will end this major consultation here. I’m off because of other business.”
“yes! saintess. Go in!”
Lethe slipped away, leaving Simon and Aitula behind.
“excuse me.”
The conflicted Aitula immediately raised her head and spoke to Simon.
“There is something I want to say quietly. I’m going to ask the priest for the Excellence Sacrament.”
Simon raised an eyebrow.
‘come!’
