When Nangong came to the only thing she could think of when Freya, who was not in good health and couldn't walk fast, came to the small chapel that was already in tatters, Freya, who was already in a much better mood, became sad again, but compared to the previous situation of shedding tears, this time it was much better.

It's better than nothing, although this church is a little smaller, but although the sparrow is small, there should be a priest on duty in it. But......

"Will there be anyone at this late hour?"

"Absolutely!" As if forgetting all the fears and fears along the way, when it came to the question of "faith" and "duty", Freya became the "archbishop" of the inquisition: "Every member of the church should pray before going to bed, and should not run away because of 'too early rest', 'too tired', etc., so as long as there are people here, they will definitely hear it." ”

"I see, then I'll give it a try."

Nangong, who nodded, approached the tattered door of the chapel, but was about to shout when she was gagged by Freya, who was quick-eyed.

"You can't just shout! Such words may have interfered with his prayers. If you don't know the situation, knock on the door, so that the priest inside will naturally come to open the door after praying. ”

What a hassle...... Why do you have to have so many rules to pray? But it seems that this is not bad, at least Freya has become more cheerful because of this, at first she just walked with her head down, but now she has some courage to speak.

Maybe you want to cure Freya, a heart disease similar to autism. Is it the right choice to start with the church and the faith?

"Anyway, people like you who have no faith here, don't interfere for the time being. Let me do it. ”

While saying something a little excessive at Nangong. Freya knocked lightly with her hand, but the knock even made Nangong wonder if the people inside could hear it.

It can be louder, but what kind of rule is this?

"The prayers are very quiet, so they can hear the slightest sound." Freya explained to Nangong as she began to stand motionless and wait. Although it seems a little too "rigid", Nangong has to sigh at Freya's seriousness in dealing with the issue of "faith".

"I'm going to wait here, please don't disturb me."

"Ah, that's fine."

After closing her eyes, Freya seemed to be standing and falling asleep. Nangong was also inconvenient to move around and make any noise. However, after taking a closer look at this dilapidated little church, I couldn't help but have a lot of questions in my heart.

Speaking of Archbishop Freya, such a "religious" believer should be a special case of exception, and although the basic requirements will be observed by those who work in the church, it is inevitable that there will be laxity at times. This is something that can happen to an "ordinary person", and even more so for such clergy who are far away from their headquarters and open chapels across the ocean.

As the so-called emperor is far away, without the drive of the surrounding environment and his own laxity, he really can't expect too much from the priests of this church to have a very "pious" attitude, and it can be seen from the dilapidated church and the weeds that have begun to spread around it. The owner of this church has not taken care of this "sacred" place for a long time.

So...... Although the lights are on, is the guy inside really praying? Don't be having fun. If that were the case, I would have prayed for him, because his "boss" was standing outside blowing the cold wind, waiting for his "pious" prayer to end.

"Huh? What are you two doing standing outside here at night? ”

Just as Nangong was struggling with whether to take private action to confirm it, a girl slowly walked here where there should be no one to visit, and judging from the various vegetables she was carrying, it was obvious that she had just finished purchasing.

But......

Monsters? Although she is just a blonde girl who looks "casual" in appearance, the atmosphere around her reminds Nangong that she is not an "ordinary person". Although Nangong has now been able to be less "monkey anxious" after meeting the monster, it ......

Although it is indeed a bit dangerous to face a youkai who has never met alone without taking Xixin with him, judging from the behavior of this youkai, it should not be a guy who will go berserk when asked sensitive questions. And she's still carrying a big bag of vegetables, even if she's not the owner of this chapel, she's probably the one who stays here, and she should be fine if she calms down and asks.

"In ...... Wait, this one doesn't matter. ”

Freya didn't seem to pay attention to the girl who suddenly appeared at all, and Nangong took a step closer, "But it's troublesome before this, show me the number." ”

"Oh, Inspector, it's really rare to encounter this kind of place."

Although she was a little surprised, the girl calmly took out a small sign representing her identity from her pocket.

It's dim, but it looks like it's really right. It's just that...... Why do youkai go to the church? Monsters, churches, obviously theoretically two absolutely incompatible existences.

"But why don't you two go in, there's someone inside?"

"But you can't disturb the priests inside praying."

"Huh? Prayer? Hmm......" The girl who seemed to be holding back a smile finally returned to normal after enduring it for a while, but then she bypassed Nangong and Freya, and walked towards the door that was mostly unpushed.

"Whew...... That's what you call a prayer priest, right? ”

After taking a deep breath, the girl raised her leg very imposingly, and with the squeak and shaking of the wide open door, Nangong and Freya finally saw what was going on inside this small church.

Soon, Nangong regretted that he had brought Freya here.

Compared to the appearance of a "shape", the interior of the church has been changed beyond recognition. What was supposed to be a row of benches for worshippers to pray has been replaced by all sorts of furniture, clothes, and electrical appliances, and it is unceremoniously a "home" for lazy people, except for the shell of a church.

Happily, the loud crash also woke up the owner of the "church", who was also the "pious" believer whom Freya had previously referred to - a stout but somewhat scruffy man.

After rolling several times along the dusty ground, the man in a vest finally woke up from his sleep, and immediately showed an impatient expression when he saw the girl returning with a large bag.

"I mean, are you monsters so violent? The door is almost broken, and it is kicking...... These two little babies are ......"

"O Cultist! Follower! The girl calmly passed by the big man and explained, "Don't you shout every day that there are no believers to pray?" Look, aren't there just two of them? ”

"Cultists!?" The big man looked at Nangong in disbelief, and then moved his gaze to Freya, although after that, the strong man's expression became embarrassed.

It's right to feel embarrassed, although I don't know what Archbishop Freya will say after that, but let's get ready first, uncle. (To be continued......)
