People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

In this way, it seems that the existence of those British magicians is very meaningless.

"Then, why can't you let go of your unnecessary dignity and at least bring those witch ladies into the vicinity of London for defense? According to my memory, [-]% of the magic associations that come to London to do things have encountered 'witch hunting' The descendants of the witches who were treated unfairly, are you also doing it yourself?"

"..."

"Since that's the case, why don't you just let the witches deal with the witches? Why do you think those witches won't come? Is it because you are afraid that after introducing those witches to London, your so-called 'London's top ten' will be lost?"

This may really be one of the reasons, although the British Puritan Church has a witch organization under official management, and even has a super-large aerial combat spiritual outfit called "Witch Compass (Covencompass)".

However, even in such a seemingly "enlightened" magic country, there are still a considerable number of magicians in it who have the decadent idea that "any witch who uses magic cannot live".

In fact, this is obvious from the fact that "Temple of the Sword" has been thinking about getting "Joyeuse" from Sigurd's side to fight against the French.

It is precisely because of this idea that witches are still unwelcome in the UK, and they are not even allowed to appear in London. They are always deployed near the sea defense line on weekdays, serving as "sentinels" at the border Cruising in the middle.

"Why are you standing there? Knowing that someone has sneaked into London, why don't you go to work?"

The Puritan magician lowered his head, not daring to refute Sigurd's words.

After all, in all senses, what Sigurd said was the truth, not even exaggerated.

There must be some discrepancies, but they themselves know that they have no reason to refute.

"Okay, don't be so angry~ Today is Christmas, okay? How about a little smile?"

"Laugh at your head! Can you, a bitch, play your role in a place other than pitting me? Call me if something happens, don't you think it's a big problem?"

"Well......"

Rubbing his temples, Sigurd didn't understand why he felt a headache for these stupid and stupid magicians who were obviously not British.

The United Kingdom is a huge part of the magic side. If there is civil strife in Britain itself, then the environment on the magic side will inevitably fluctuate.

Then this ripple will disappear under the "waves" immediately, and further "resonance" will lead to the collapse of the magic side structure, so it is unpredictable.

In order not to develop the worst situation, Sigurd must ensure that Britain does not become a "breach".

"Your Puritanism is one of the three major factions in the UK. It is a magic guard that maintains and defends the 'Three Factions and Four Cultures'! Do nothing, except for your own 'Church of Necessary Evil', other Puritan institutions currently have and do not have Is there a big difference?"

"Regarding this point, we are actually reforming. It seems that some unnecessary institutions will be integrated. Although the progress is not ideal, after all, spiritual equipment maintenance institutions such as the 'Sword Temple' are basically irreplaceable. and replaced."

Laura also understands that things are not going well in Britain right now.

How should I put it, it doesn't mean that it's threatening or unsettling.

Rather, it is precisely because of the existence of Sigurd that the British wizarding world is in a more stable period than in any previous era.

And it is precisely because Britain is too stable now that many "newcomers" not only lack actual combat experience, but also have a feeling of "doing nothing" in actual combat.

Although the "Church of Necessary Evil" is still an elite policy, you must pass a rather harsh assessment to become a full member of the "Church of Necessary Evil", but there is no special process for joining the British Puritan Church.

This also directly led to the uneven quality of members within the British Puritan Church.

"Then let's take an annual assessment, any increase in the difficulty of the Puritan admission assessment. At least you have to pass the No. [-] proving ground, right?"

"Number three? Is it a little bit for a newcomer..."

"That's better than dying in actual combat. And there are a lot of restraint spells in it. As long as I'm not stupid enough to yell and make myself lack of oxygen after being caught, I can't think of the possibility of dying anywhere."

Nodding and accepting Sigurd's suggestion, this non-British mercenary unexpectedly began to express his views on the internal matters of the Puritan sect.

And the more interesting thing is that the Puritans were unexpectedly "convinced", and they seemed not to be unhappy with some of Sigurd's suggestions, and they cooperated very well unexpectedly.

"But at least the kids these days are pretty good. Especially..."

Just when Sigurd was about to explain further, a disgraced Puritan nun ran in in a panic.

"The supreme bishop is not good, Vivilia's team was knocked down by the witch!!!!"

"How many people are there?"

"One......"

Laura looked at Sigurd awkwardly, while Sigurd gave up thinking and rubbed his temples.

"Shouldn't you really be taking the blame and resigning or apologizing by caesarean section or something? 'Birthplace of gold' Seriously, I'm embarrassed right now."

"Well......"

Chapter 250 Eight: Preparations for Christmas

Kanzaki Kaori, the “sage of the Far East” with long black hair tied into a ponytail, lived in a dormitory in a London apartment building, among many British Puritan fighters.

Normally, Kanzaki would wear the "Seven Ten Seven Swords", a large Japanese sword over two meters long, on her waist, but now—

[The sheath can add luster to the knife and make it more gorgeous. Does your favorite knife also need some beautiful decorations? 】

Holding the flyer with the above words in both hands, she trembled alone in the living room.

On the exquisite leaflet printed in four colors, there are several small sample photos framed in four corners, like the surface of a multi-layered bento box, animals represented by finely cut red maple and gold leaf on a black background The pattern pops off the paper.

"Gulu" sounded.

Only then did Kanzaki realize that she had swallowed her saliva.

(Woo, um!! This, this is!? Today I feel that the cold black sheath is not good enough, if it is decorated with this kind of "red maple" or "yellow crane"......)

Even elementary school students can read the smell called "wavering" from Kanzaki Kaori's body.

The tangled expression is basically engraved between the eyebrows.

(No, no, no! The essence of the Amakusa-style cross desolate religion should be to extract the magic marks from the objects around and apply them! Such a thing as easily changing the marks of the sheath... But, but. ... Maybe there is no problem with the mark for "Yozakura"?)

Yamato Nadeko Kanzaki Kaori, who was usually calm and composed, kept muttering to himself.

At this time, as if chasing after him, another leaflet slipped from Kanzaki's hand and landed on the table in the cafeteria.

It says so--

[Armor is the best partner to protect your back.Please feel the breath of the best partner that you can rely on no matter what situation you are forced to. 】

"Mmmmmmmmmm!!"

Kanzaki Kaori was troubled as he seemed to be trying to find a hole in the flyer with the picture that looked like a May doll.

(Sure enough, I should get a set of armor, no, even if I just add hand, foot and breastplate to ordinary clothes...No no!!)

At this time, she suddenly came back to her senses.

She raised her head abruptly, coughed slightly, and slowly clamped the flyer under her arm.

Now is not the time to be distracted by such trap-like flyers.

Kanzaki walked from the living room to the kitchen.

In order to prepare a large amount of food for the "surprise dinner", Kanzaki Kaori made a very large space here in advance.

Kanzaki approached the kitchen, which has a special oven, a refrigerator, a sink, and everything is a special product, and opened the large silver refrigerator with a "click", and took out a small storage container placed deep in it.

There are several bags of wheat flour on the cooking table.

It stands to reason that if you open the huge refrigerator, you will see paper packets stuffed with whipped cream and a turkey wrapped in plastic wrap.

Needless to say, the time of year has come to December.

Even a last-minute order to the store cannot satisfy the needs of so many people.

So now I should be repeatedly checking whether the ingredients are missing, so as not to find that the key ingredients are missing in the middle of the cooking.

merrychristmas

Banners with such words and decorations for hanging on the Christmas tree are placed in the corners like this.

Although Kanzaki Kaori was assigned the task of turkey and some matching salads and other ingredients, the "sage of the Far East" felt that the pressure was much greater than that of pushing a large association.

(Although I have asked the "Knight Commander" for advice. But because of work, I have never seriously studied British etiquette. Even if I have the opportunity, I will be taken to various noble balls, and I have not learned enough to use it in my daily life. Cultural knowledge of life.)

Arranging the kitchen utensils to be used for cooking one by one, Kanzaki Kaori sighed.

Although Kanzaki Kaori looks like a virtuous woman with quite professional housekeeping skills, in fact, it is already the limit for this "sage" to achieve this step.

Kanzaki Kaori, who was asked to do something she wasn't good at but couldn't refuse, could only make the food while looking at the recipe.

Although there is no guarantee how delicious it is, at least it will be fine to eat normally.

Compared to Kanzaki Kaori, who is engaged in a cooking battle here, a meeting between the two parties through a remote communication technique is also unfolding inside the St. George's Cathedral at this time.

"This year, there are also quite a large number of Christmas cards being sent. In fact, greeting cards have been sent one after another since September."

[Is it too late to send the meeting until Christmas? 】

"Indeed. Sending it at this time shows that the other party understands our situation quite well. It is quite a heavy labor to read all the 25 Christmas cards sent from all over the UK every year."

[This kind of work is usually done by my secretary. 】

"Isn't that bad? But don't you think it's necessary 'official' to occasionally see what believers have to say?"

The old man on the other end of the communication sighed.

[To be honest, I really envy you. 】

"Ah, I can't tell you the secret of maintenance, okay?"

[I am referring to the right to mingle with subordinates and the general public without any scruples. 】

"The Pope of the 'Roman Orthodox Church' doesn't even have personal freedom?"

[This is really not the situation I expected.Rather than being guarded like a "pope", I would rather be like a "grandfather". At least in this way, I can chat with the children instead of keeping a solemn face. 】

"Is it really okay to explain such a thing to us?"

[It's nothing, just look at it as "the old man's complaints".After all, this is just a chat time after the official meeting.Speaking of which, how is the mercenary doing recently? 】

Laura watched the bustling crowd through the glass of the church building.

"How should I put it. I still regret that this mercenary is not an out-and-out Englishman."

[But it's better for the world, isn't it? 】

"indeed."

And at this moment, a voice from a third party that did not belong to the two came from beside Laura.

"Madam Supreme Bishop, why are you still here? You should still remember? You are going to visit twelve medical institutions and rehabilitation centers this afternoon?"

"Eh!? Are there so many?"
