"Huh? Aha, yes, pray, pray, pray. ”

Reacting in the same way as Pandora, after being kicked and falling off the bench, Mandala, who finally woke up, just rubbed her ass and listened blankly to Freya's request.

"Actually, you can sleep a little longer, and it always takes a lot of time for a man to get ready than a woman."

Lazy believers who can procrastinate!

Despite thinking so, Freya eventually gave up on lecturing Mandala again in what was already a stretch. Thanks to this lazy worm that can't wake up and can only kick awake, the scheduled time has been greatly shortened. And considering that it would take more time for him to prepare the clothes and so on after this, the preparation of the prayer also fell on Freya's head.

"Whew...... That's not going to work. ”

While listening to the mandala's subconscious exclamation of the new church, Freya sighed and began to carefully wipe the stone statue. I didn't expect too much, but if I poured a bucket of cold water on my head, anyone could wake up from their sleep quickly. Even though they are already clergymen who run a small church, why can't they even prepare such things as prayer on their own?

"What's not to do? Your Excellency? ”

Following Freya's lament, Pandora, dressed in monastic clothes, came to Freya's side. Compared to the lazy cultist, Pandora was obviously more "diligent", of course, this was only the result of the comparison between the two, judging from her surprised attitude before, it was obvious that she needed to get up early to buy ingredients. But for the aspect of routine prayer. Pandora is still just as casual.

"It's about the habits that the clergy should observe and develop."

Freya sighed. Although it is the same as playing the piano to a cow, Pandora's "cow" should be more musical.

"I don't want to question it too much, but haven't you prayed in a long time?"

"Hmm, hahaha...... Well, this kind of thing, in fact, I don't have a problem. ”

Pandora, who exposed her shortcomings, had to pretend to be stupid and perfunctory, "It's just that guy who is lazy." Although it is not that he didn't want to leave himself, he always feels like a fool. Over time, that's it. ”

“…… I see. ”

She wanted to make a few accusations, but Freya quickly realized that just a few words of rebuke would definitely not have any effect, and for the two cultists who were able to hide all the important stone statues in the cupboard, they could only get them back to their old habits little by little.

"When did you get here?"

Although it is said that the environment can change people, it can also change too much. It's hard to imagine that the Bishop sent two lazy fellows to camp here, and it is clear that their current idleness was born after they came here.

Obviously, there wasn't much confusing in the area, and the two cultists didn't seem to be hanging out every day. If you just sleep, you will feel tired.

Freya pondered the remaining impressions, but found no information about Pandora or Mandala. Presumably, they came here because of the meaning of the previous bishop. Unfortunately, this question can no longer be confirmed from the former bishop. Not to mention that there is probably no way to return to the court now. Moreover, the previous bishop had already been reduced to ashes in the punishment of the god of fire at that night, as a subordinate of the "infidels......

Is it a heretic...... Whew, why is it that the idea that I used to be able to confirm without hesitation has now become hesitant. If the "pagans" referred to by "faith" are really like this, then are they not ......

"I've been here for a long time...... Well, it's been a long time. ”

Pandora's voice pulls Freya back to reality, and makes Freya feel ashamed of being distracted before prayer.

"Speaking of which, the time is almost up, I'm going to urge the pig."

“……”

Indeed, it's time to rush. Even if it's just a little, at least let them start the habit again, because it's the most basic kind of respect to God.

That's right, just to God. It's unclear if what Filily said while she was lying in her hospital bed and unable to move was true, but at least that was certain. Regardless of the correctness of the "divine messenger" who came down from the Inquisition, there is no mistake in one's own beliefs.

Speaking of which, is Filily okay......

Freya was very anxious when she had never been alone, but before she could adjust her mentality again, Pandora, who was supposed to run out to urge the mandala, rushed over.

This behavior is highly undesirable, but ......

"Something is wrong!"

Pandora said and took Freya's hand, as if the prayer she had just said was as unimpressed as the wind in her ears, "Anyway, don't ask anything yet, come with me!" ”

"......"

"Life is more important than prayer!"

After another harsh scolding, an uncharacteristically Pandora dragged Freya, who was a little confused, to the confessional room, and poked off a stone slab after some fumbling.

The crack of the door opening made it clear that there was a secret door in the confessional chamber that was mostly built by one of the Pandoras or the Mandalas because of bad taste. After pushing Freya into the dark room, Pandora, who hesitated for a moment, followed in and closed the door.

The sealed space was not even allowed to light a candlestick, and Freya had to endure the nervous darkness while listening to the sounds around her. He was taken to such a place where he could hide in a hurry without even praying, and it was obvious that something had happened outside.

"Priest Pandora, this ......"

"Strange people are coming, although it's not strange."

Pandora's whispers came from the darkness, but Freya was reassured that it wasn't some kind of "lure" from the devil. confused". But the cause of this sudden event may not be so pleasant.

"It looks like someone from the Inquisition, and although the uniform has changed a lot, the basic features are still there. Bishop, this shouldn't be anything...... Someone you'd like to meet. ”

“…… Thank you. ”

After thinking about it, Freya, who was at a loss, had to give such a general answer. Of course, it is true that Pandora and Mandala have to thank for their judgment, at least they seem to have realized the reason why a bishop is alone in this remote place.

"I'm not too willing to chew my tongue, but my lord."

In the darkness, Freya couldn't find Pandora's whereabouts, but her voice was still lingering around.

"Don't you escape from the Inquisition, can't you be that ...... Well, what happened to the Tribunal? ”

“……”

Ah, yes, how can you be a bishop as a bishop to conceal the truth and deceive believers? Not only that, but since even they had already helped them, there was no reason to hide from them what they had been going through.

Although I didn't think about how they would react after that, such a thing can't be hidden all the time, adhering to their good intentions, but for a disgraceful reason.

"Let's wait for a while, if I can get through it with peace of mind, I'll explain it later."

(Pandora's character has been updated, and the new character building is viewed.) (To be continued......)
