3. Outcast believers

There was a loud noise outside the door, but perhaps because there was nothing to look for in this small church, the churning soon subsided, and Freya finally waited for the "savior" she was looking for.

Although this savior is very lazy and looks a little bloated, it is still very reliable in terms of alleviating the crisis.

"Driven away?"

As soon as the light flashed, Pandora also pulled Freya out of the dark compartment, and she casually asked as if she was discussing how much of today's dish was discounted, "Are you sure you are carrying a cross?" ”

"It's not a yes, and it can't be said it's not."

Mandala, who had not yet fully sobered up, was "refreshed" this time, although he did not feel so alarmed by the sudden intruder, "Compared to these, Lord Bishop, have we finished the prayer that has been late?" It's rare that one day I want to do it well. ”

Is it rare, one day? But it won't help to blame it now.

The explanation that was still in her mind was put on hold for the time being, and although the time for prayer had been postponed by the sudden event, it did not prevent Freya from immediately calming her still beating heart.

The church was clearly overturned, and most of the results of an early morning cleaning had been destroyed in a matter of minutes, and the only thing that should be thankful was that the stone statues had not been touched in any way, and it seemed that most of them were the clergy of the Inquisition with a minimum of self-consciousness.

The church, which had always been filled with shouting and reprimands, was also given a moment of silence. After a simple tidying up. The church, which seems to have been abandoned for a long time, has finally resumed its function. Even if there are only three first-time guests.

Unable to suppress her curiosity, Freya comforted her with the reason of "monitoring whether they are serious or not", and turned her gaze to the side secretly. To her surprise, such a quiet man, who usually looks like he is snoring all the time, even when he sleeps, is very pious at this time. Although it is still difficult to match the "prayer" because of his physical shape, at least in form it is no different from a believer who is quietly praying.

To Freya's surprise, Pandora, who was supposed to be more stable than Uncle Mandala, didn't seem to be so concerned about this kind of thing. Posture, mentality...... It all seems to be a little sloppy. However, considering that Pandora is a monster, you can't be too forceful.

Speaking of which, I would like to thank them for helping me afterwards. Although the current situation is not reassuring, it is clear that the Inquisition has a pursuer who has followed the trail, and their target is definitely themselves.

Although I was helped once, ah no, it should be the second time if I count the Nangong Inspector, but it's time to realize that I'm just a burden now. Wearing a garment that is no longer eligible to wear. Still usurping the position of archbishop of the Inquisition, such a self. Are you really qualified to pray here?

……

"Well, pray, let's end it like this."

Suddenly, Freya's heart rippled, and Freya no longer had the courage to continue praying. And as she got up, the two priests, who were not "religious", immediately got up, as if the reason for their prayers was simply Freya's request.

"After that...... Also ......"

"Ahh

The mandala let out a meaningless "man's roar", while Pandora just slowly massaged her temples. The sudden unaccustomed did not affect their lives, and after looking around, the mandala tapped his companion's head.

"You go cook, I'll clean up around here, it's rare that I've just cleaned up and I'm messing up again, and those idiots almost turned out all my treasures."

"Yes, yes, but don't expect a big meal."

Pandora, who ran into the kitchen at the request of boredom, turned around and began to clean up the mandala in the church, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, even if a group of uninvited guests who were obviously targeting Freya had just broken into the church, but as the owners of the place, they did not show their displeasure.

Obviously, he doesn't look like a devout believer in all aspects, but he has a feeling of having a firm "faith", as if he will never be confused. I should have had this feeling, but now I can't recall it at all. This...... Is it also one of the punishments for oneself?

……

"That! Please wait a moment! ”

In a hurry, in a voice that even she thought was too loud, Freya stopped the two who were about to get busy.

Yes, although I don't know if it's right to turn the facts on these two clergymen who have just been together for a short time, and although I don't know if I can get a moment of peace after saying it, at least it's much better than wandering like this.

It's like a wandering poet who has no goal meets an author who is struggling, and the former will instinctively be drawn to it because of the latter's firm beliefs.

"I ...... I don't think I should have hidden it from you, so ...... Let me tell you the reason for today's incident! ”

“……”

Silence, though Freya didn't hate silence, felt an unbearable embarrassment. Fortunately, this torment did not last long, or they were unexpectedly able to read words and feelings, and they did not let Freya suffer too much.

"Ahh Mandala touched his unshaven chin as if he were thinking about whether to watch a football game or play a game tonight, and after a moment he patted his belly and gave Freya a surprise answer.

"Can you wait, it's about to start, I'm hungry."

"Huh?"

"That is, you don't want to go hungry and complain to us, my lord."

Pandora poked her head out of the kitchen, and soon after, a puff of burnt smoke followed.

"Ahhh It's going to be mushy, it's going to be mush! ”

Naturally, and gently procrastinating, but it doesn't feel disagreeable at all. If you think about it, this should be taking care of her people's emotions, and telling the truth or something immediately after being arrested may make them feel too harsh.

Obviously, there is no need to do this.

Because the guy waiting here is really just an abandoned bishop. (To be continued......)
