Do you know the confessional of the Catholic Church?

Also known as the Confession Hall, it is the sacrament of confession and reconciliation, one of the seven sacraments in the Catholic faith. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The believers confess their sins to the legitimate clergy, repent and change their sins, and receive from God the forgiveness of their sins after baptism by the same clergy, and at the same time reconcile the Church that has been harmed by their sin.

The Sacrament of Confession, also known as the Sacrament of Confession and the Sacrament of Reconciliation, is now mostly called the Sacrament of Reconciliation in the Church. That is, the believer, with repentance, confesses his sins (after baptism) to the legitimate priest, who forgives them on behalf of God and reconciles them with God and the Church.

"What a mess this confessional is. ”

Aikawa tilted his head to look at the confessional room in front of him, and his tone revealed a completely unclear emotion.

[This ship is a labor facility.] Gather sinners and losers like me, and pay back for the losses suffered by the Roman Orthodox Church. 】

Janis changed the subject as soon as she said this, and Aikawa was not interested in probing any further—because he was interested.

Don't want to say, okay, I'll ask someone to go.

Then he casually made an excuse and left the room, and greeted the group of young middle-aged people running under the bright moon outside very cordially.

"Hey, what is this?"

Stepping on the face of the middle-aged man who was constantly struggling at his feet, Aikawa asked arrogantly.

"you off, despicable pagan demon! Dare to confront Roman Orthodoxy, even purgatory can't tolerate you! You'll regret it in the corner......"

"Ahhh ”

"What do you say......

Boom!

Aikawa retracted his foot. Look at the strange confessional in front of you again.

Generally speaking, the confessional chamber consists of two rooms. One is the priest who comes to hear the believer's confession, and the other is the believer's confession. However, this confessional has only one room. It's not that it's half the size of a normal confessional, but that there's only one room that you can enter, and the other is solid.

There is a low door, on which are hung curtains, and it is the priest's room. From the outside, the facilities inside are similar to those you saw in Rome, and there is nothing suspicious.

（………… Let's go in and have a look. ）

After all, it's fun.

So Aikawa entered the confessional room, which had only one room, and searched thoroughly. To his disappointment, there was nothing special about it, except that the wood was made of good quality. It seemed to be just a defective product, and just when Aikawa thought so, something that took it for granted caught his attention.

"Why is there a window here?"

He may not be clear. What he is talking about is why [this confessional] has a window like [the general confessional].

This confessional room has only one room. That's right, there's only one, and the other side is 100% solid! There's no need for a window to communicate at all. And Aikawa noticed a mistake on his part, and he reflexively decided that the opposite side was solid. Of course, because he himself smashed through the other side and didn't have anything. However, when he entered the inside, he realized that he was wrong, and it was very wrong - not only was the opposite side not solid, but there was no trace of destruction. It was almost ruined by himself a minute ago......

"Huh, can't see inside?"

Aikawa was surprised to find that he couldn't see anything on the other side at all. Unlike the light and darkness, it is like being filled with pure black, and everything in it is swallowed up.

"Hey. ”

The sound of wood cracking, and Aikawa kindly expanded the size of the window tenfold.

"Here, let me see what's going on---it's not completely indistinguishable!"

That's right, it doesn't make a difference at all. Through the darkness, what I saw was still the same as the room just now, no difference.

"Ahhh ”

Gone! Aikawa angrily came out of the other entrance.

Result - "................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Where is this?"

In the extravagant and eerie hallway, the red boy asked anyone who didn't exist here.

[Ability Name: Seraphim's Confessional]

[Effect: As long as the other party wants to see the unknown opposite side and successfully enters the opposite side, he will go to the location of the person closest to him in blood. 】

[Note: This skill can only be used in special environments.] Instead, this ability is forced to activate as long as all the conditions are gathered, and the target is randomly selected according to the owner's important people. 】

1 Confessional. It is the priest who listens to the confession. According to Catholic theory, when a priest hears a confession, he means that God is listening. Because the priest at this time represents God.

2 Seraphim. The highest of the messengers of God, the head of the angels, the Seraph, the elves of love and imagination, do sing praises to God. He is God's closest envoy, a god-like substance, a character in Judaism and Christianity who communicates directly with God, a spirit who is pure light and thinking, and who resonates with passion.

"Why do I have a very bad premonition......

The boy who was tied up muttered something in the corner of the room.

Closing the door, Master collapsed on the couch like his bones were falling apart.

“…… Whew, "

He gasped.

It was a sigh that seemed like even the lungs were going to spit out.

Only this time he forgot about the cigar he had been smoking, and just leaned back on the sofa. It seemed that it would go on like this until it was covered by the sofa, and the exhaustion on Master's face was thick to this extent.

I immediately prepared water and put it on the coffee table next to me, and he immediately drank it greedily.

I didn't even care if the water ran down my chin and stained my shirt. The cup was empty in the blink of an eye, and the dripping drops of water wet Master's long hair.

“…… Do you have any wine?"

"If the whiskey in this room is okay、"

"That's it. ”

Hearing his muffled voice, I took Sogra whiskey from the shelf and poured it into a glass.

Because it is a sake with a high degree of alcohol, it jumps to your nose just by pouring it out. I was wondering if I should add some water or something else to make it, and Master took the glass away.

Then took a big sip.

Looking at the way he looked, I asked.

“…… No more, isn't it okay to investigate the scene?"

"Look at the situation, thank God it didn't cause a second murder, ma'am. ”

That's right. If you stay there for a second longer, you may actually receive the aftermath of the concentrated attack of several magicians. But thanks to the culprit, the culprit can sneak in intact without anyone else noticing. I glanced at the boy in the corner of the wall with a broken thought, and an admiration in my heart was definitely not praised.

Mind to the matter at hand. Either way, it was like the two of us were in the wrong place. Like an insect that falls into a spider's web, even if it struggles, the spider silk will only wrap itself tighter. The last thing left is to wait for the 13 steps before the gallows where the fangs will come and bite off their necks.

So, I made up my mind to ask.

"Master...... Do you want to escape now?"

“…………”

Master's silence lasted for quite some time.

He clenched the glass tightly, looking pained, longer than when he had seen Ryori Kasano's corpse just now.

finally

“…… No. ”

He shook his head weakly.

“…… Why. No matter who you fight with, only you will die, isn't this what Master himself said. ”

"That's right. If there was to be a duel, I would be the first to die. Even when I'm drinking, I'm still scared, and my knees will shake as long as I don't pay attention. If there was rope here, I would like to tie a loop and stick my head in it to get out of here. ”

He smiled wryly and touched his knee.

The smile was visibly stiff.

"Even so, I can't go back. ”

“…… Why?"

I asked again.

Then, Master took out the invitation from the inside pocket of his jacket.

"Griwin Asauburn, who wrote this invitation, seems to have studied us thoroughly. ”

A wry smile oozed from the corners of his mouth.

This is the second time I've seen Master's expression like that. Very inferior, very unseemly, is the expression of someone who stubbornly wants to hold on to something and not let go.

It was a side face that made me speechless when I looked at it.
