Digris had to admit that he was actually in the middle of the mission...... Some desertion.

Specifically, after discovering that Rika Fujimaru had only put down roots in the Taylos Cathedral, using the hall as an office location, and began to work on the overall planning for hours on end, his attention was no longer on her target, who "needed to be monitored at all times".

As an ultramariner who has inherited the abilities or specialties of the father of genes, he will not really delay anything if he focuses on two things without any drastic changes in the situation...... Right?

He had indeed been monitoring the psionic fluctuations on Fujimaru Rika's body, but after entering the inside of the church, he soon realized that it had suddenly become more difficult than he had originally thought - the interior of Taylor Cathedral did not feel quite right to him.

Although the interior of the Storm Boundary, which uses some kind of non-physical side technology to expand the capacity, also gives him a feeling that something is not quite right, the two things are still not quite right. Digris had wanted to ask Rika Fujimaru what was going on, but he soon found that words were too pale to try to say something "not quite right" to someone who wasn't a psyker.

Then he noticed that Kelya, a young girl who was said to be a native, had also descended from the Storm Frontier and stayed in the preaching hall of the Taylos Cathedral. She wore a plain but soft skirt and sat on a bench in the front row, looking in a daze.

He noticed that when the girl seemed to be in a daze, there were some subtle fluctuations in spiritual energy.

Before he actually met Kelya, Digris had been told that the girl was a psyker, and extremely rare, and had a very good match with the emperor's psionic powers. He had thought that this was only an explanation of "why there was a girl native to Pamenio on the ship of the Chaldeans", and with the authority of Fujimaru Rika, she did have the authority to do so, so he didn't think much about it. But it was only now that he finally vaguely realized what this "very good with the emperor's psionic energy" meant.

This subtle fluctuation of psionic energy gives people a very similar feeling to the time when Fujimaru Rika used psionic energy to throw a mat at the meeting.

In a sense, Kylea and Rika Fujimaru are the same kind. Digris realized this.

He turned his attention to the latter again, and found that she was listening to the Dark Angels' descriptions of a new type of movable wooden tower-like Chaos Fortification that appeared on the battlefield, and that it didn't seem to be going to change anytime soon. He turned his gaze to Kellya again, only to find that the girl was also looking at him.

"Do you want to talk?" She curled up on the bench, looking a little reserved, but asked in a low voice.

This gave Di Gliston a moment. The director of the think tank did have this intention, but he was sure that he hadn't had time to show it yet. In the moment he was asked, he felt as if he had been seen through for the first time in a long time—he had never felt anything like it in anything other than his original body.

These thoughts took Digris less than half a second, so to the others, he immediately replied in the same light voice: "Yes, but I don't want to make you nervous either." But if you think you can, I'd do like to talk to you. ”

The girl's demeanor seemed to be more restrained by these words, but the feeling as if she had been seen through appeared again.

"You don't need to take too much care of me, many people have asked me before." The girl was a little embarrassed and said, "And, in fact, I can know what other people are thinking." My sister said it was not always good, but I couldn't stop. ”

Digris had to think a little before he realized that the "sister" in this girl's mouth was referring to Rika Fujimaru. Seriously, if you put aside all the premise and just judge by her appearance, more than half of the people will think that the taller and stronger Kellya is the older one.

"It's really unusual, but it's very common for an adolescent, newly awakened psyker." Digris comforted softly.

This may indicate that Kylea's future talent will be more visible in the spells of the Mind Transmission School. He should have thought more about it, but he decided to keep himself from thinking about more things that might be stressing out the girl. For a think tank director, controlling one's mind is the foundation of the foundation, so he did it easily.

"When did you first discover this ability? Maybe I can help you. Digris asked softly.

“…… I don't know, I don't remember exactly. There was a time when my memory was very vague, and I didn't know how many days had passed in between. The girl who did feel Digris's kindness gradually relaxed a little, "I can feel it since 'he' came. ”

"'Him'." Digris repeated with some alertness, and the girl simply reached out and pointed diagonally behind him less obviously.

The director of the think tank turned around vigilantly, even ready for battle, but there was nothing in that direction, either physically or visually, or using psionic probes.

"He's here." The girl shrunk her feet into the bench, hugged her knees, and curled up, "But 'he' didn't pay attention here, 'he' was looking farther away." ”

After a few seconds of confusion and confusion, Digris realized that Kylia was not referring to some actual, subspace-like existence that had come here. She was pointing to the building itself.

Looking in her direction, she was confronted with a magnificent work of art that the faithful listening to the sermons in this church could never ignore: a statue of the emperor embedded in the wall, which complemented the tall and empty building itself, with exquisite materials and exquisite ornamentation, and shone in the colorful light that had been carefully calculated to penetrate the painted windows around it.

Digris is the director of the Ultramarines' think tank, and like his brothers, he believes that the Emperor is a great man rather than a god. But at this point, he was a little uncertain.

In the course of his various missions, he also frequented various Anglican churches during his military life for a variety of reasons. He had seen many of the main statues of the emperor in churches, and the heads of these statues were almost invariably slightly bowed, regardless of the certified imperial form of the sculpture itself, so that the emperor's eyes could look majestically over the entire hall or hall of the sermon. This is almost a tacit unwritten rule, as is the case in all the churches that Digris has seen, but this one is not:

The emperor here is looking up into the distance, his gaze seeming to penetrate the façade of the church itself and the many towers that rise in the city, all the way to the distant battlefield outside. Theoretically, an ordinary statue shouldn't give such a strong and definite feeling, and yet—

- Digris realized that the statue's "sparkling gaze" was not due to the sculptor's skill, nor to some subtle and peculiar optical component, but to the fact that they were indeed emitting a golden glow of psionic energy.
