Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

"Don't worry. Trials require evidence. I will soon prove that Kman is a demon and a fallen being. You don't have to worry."

Then she looked at Kato Megumi and spoke gently.

"Kid, I need you to do me a favor, are you willing?"

Kato Megumi hesitated.

"Well...if I can do that, I wonder what you need me to do?"

Seeing that Kato Megumi did not refuse, Dilock narrowed his eyes.

"It's very simple..." He pointed at Kman in the audience, "Just use the healing magic you learned in the Temple of God's Blessing on Kman."

As soon as the words came out, the people around were in an uproar.

"Master Priest, what are you doing? Even if you think you made a mistake and misunderstood High Priest Kerman, you shouldn't humiliate him like this!"

"Yes! Even if Priest Kerman had just spoken disrespectfully to you, you shouldn't have been so..."

As if he felt that the following words were unpleasant, his questioning voice suddenly fell silent.

Isn't it an insult to Keman to let a young girl who has just learned divine arts do this? Could it be that the priest thinks that the ability of this young girl alone can prove that Keman is a demon?

Is the High Priest confused?

The people around began to look at Kman below with pity. It was so pitiful. It was so tragic that he met such a petty-minded priest and was insulted in the end.

At this time, Kman looked a little unhappy.

"Master Priest, even if you don't want to let me go, you shouldn't insult me! Do you think that the magic cast by a newcomer like me can prove that I am a demon? If you really want to identify me as a demon, well, I admit that I am..."

After Kman said this, the discussions among the people around him became louder, and at the same time, they looked at the high priest with some unfriendly eyes.

Dilock ignored all of this. He just looked at Kato Megumi quietly and asked again.

"Can you help me with this?"

"We have to help! How can we not help? Let these guys who look down on others see how great our Hui is. How can they think that you are insulting me?"

Hearing the sarcasm and ridicule from people around her about Kato Megumi, Eriri got furious.

Although it is not known why the other party asked Hui to do this favor, it is obvious that the other party thinks that Hui can expose the other party's identity, so Eriri is very angry about the unfriendly gazes of the people around her.

Kato Hui touched her head helplessly, and then nodded to Dilock.

“Okay…”

Dilok handed over the staff.

"You can use my staff..."

Kato Hui was not polite and took it directly. It fits in her hand very well and feels very comfortable. Is this a magic wand? Maybe she will get her own magic wand in the future?

She did not delay but walked towards the High Priest Kman. At this time, the other party was looking at her walking towards him with mockery, as if he was looking at a clown.

Not only him, but the people around him were also looking at him as if they were enjoying a good show.

Kato Megumi sighed softly. It was really uncomfortable to be exposed to so many unfriendly gazes...

However, now that she is already standing on the stage, she cannot afford to retreat temporarily?

If she guessed correctly, no matter what her attitude was, she would eventually be involved in this...

After all, isn't this what the Earth Mother wants to see? Whether it's being suddenly brought to the Inquisition, or the sudden development of the priest being a demon, and now she's involved.

Step by step, it was impossible to say that the other party was not unaware of it; and the fact that I was suddenly noticed must be because of the divine power that suddenly became active in my sea of ​​​​consciousness, right?

Otherwise, why would the high priest suddenly ask me for a favor...

"Why? You hate this kind of calculation... you feel powerless? You feel uncomfortable when your life is not controlled?"

As the cold voice came from her mind, Kato Megumi's nervous mood couldn't help but ease a little.

“How could that be… I didn’t think that way… Kei is just… a little uncomfortable…”

Kato Megumi had been conveying the situation at the scene to Miss Witch in real time, and the other party had not spoken a word all the way. Unexpectedly, she suddenly spoke now, and she immediately felt much more at ease.

"Well... it's not what Miss Witch said. In fact, I know that when a person does not have strong abilities, he is either a pawn or an ant. It seems normal to be calculated... After all, I have read many books on philosophy, so I know a little about these things."

"Being used is not a bad thing. On the contrary, only when it is used can it have value, and only when it is valuable can it be invested in. Even if there is no calculation by the Earth Mother Goddess, there will be calculations and use by other gods and other people, or it may be driven by fate or cause and effect... Compared to being an ant and no one cares about it, I think being a chess piece is actually not bad."

“Wow… I didn’t expect you to have such an understanding. The so-called philosophy you mentioned seems to be very helpful in improving your state of mind… I thought humans were all ignorant and stupid people who only cared about their immediate interests…”

Kato Megumi blinked.

“No, there are actually some powerful people among humans… It is because of these people that my hometown has become so powerful…”

However, after these words were spoken, Miss Witch did not respond for a long time, and the atmosphere became awkward for a while.

Just when Kato Megumi thought she had said something wrong and wanted to apologize, the other party finally spoke.

"...Yes, I am being too narrow-minded."

Although the reply was a little slow, Kato Hui could hear the seriousness in the other party's tone. She couldn't help but smile.

"Come to think of it, Miss Witch, are you interested in philosophy?"

"Yes... yes..."

"Then when I can deliver the message, I will definitely send it to you..."

"good……"

"Ah, and thank you, Miss Witch... I know you said that before to comfort me, to learn to look forward and not dwell on the past..."

"..."

"...Hmm, you think too much... No."

"Don't waste time, use your magic now... I have to get busy..."

Hearing the other party's tone with a hint of shyness and haste, Kato Megumi couldn't help but smile in her heart.

So cute.

The conversation between the two in their minds only lasted for a moment, and at this time Kato Megumi also came to a place not far from Kman.

There was a transparent barrier between the two of them, and the other person's eyes were not very friendly. Although they were sarcastic, for some reason, Kato Megumi could feel that there was no smile in the other person's eyes, but rather a deep viciousness and malice.

Kato Megumi didn't care about it, but turned around to look at the priest, only to see the other party nodded at her, and Kato Megumi also nodded in greeting.

She looked back at Kman, tapped the ground with her staff, and then slowly tilted it towards Kman.

I communicated with the divine power in my brain and activated my mental power. There was no sincere prayer or long prayer words, just two words.

"cure--"

Enshrouded in pure light and under the incredulous gazes of the crowd, a powerful light descended from the sky with unstoppable momentum and suddenly hit the body of the High Priest Kman.

“Ah ...

Amid the incredulous expressions of the crowd, black smoke like the tentacles of consciousness emerged from the body of High Priest Kman.

So disgusting——

Kato Megumi quickly took a few steps back, staying away from the other person, and then walked to the side of the high priest with small steps.

Well, let’s find a big tree to lean on first to avoid being affected.

"how so!"

“I didn’t expect Kerman to really be like this!”

The jurors felt their faces were swollen. How could this be a newcomer? He was clearly a genius... And Kman was clearly a demon. Although they didn't know why he was able to hide from the barrier, there was no doubt that they almost let this evil demon go.

Unlike their swollen faces, Isis was so excited that she was speechless.

Well done—he looked at Kato Megumi with appreciation.

Hui saw it and smiled back.

However, he did not expect a vicious gaze to be cast straight at him, and a chill ran down his spine.

She looked back and saw that it was Kman who was looking at her with vicious eyes.

Kato Megumi quickly took a few steps back and used Dilock's figure to block his view.

However, her evasion was ineffective, and Dilock pulled her out again, exposing her to the eyes of everyone.

"Kid, you did a great job..."

Then he looked at the shocked and ashamed people around him and spoke.

"Now you believe it... that Kman is a demon?"

"I believe it! Of course I believe it. I didn't expect that the other party could hide it so deeply. Master Priest, you have a keen eye for talent..."

"Yeah, yeah... I almost let this evil demon go."

"Yes, thanks to this girl, otherwise..."

Kato Megumi was very calm. She had experienced the admiration and gazes from the people around her and had felt what it meant to change her face, so she did not feel any pride in her heart.

But Eriri in her arms didn't think so. Instead, she held her head high and accepted the praise from people around her, as if she was the one being praised.

Dilock was very satisfied with Kato Megumi's calmness. The child was not surprised by praise or criticism and was in a good mood.

He looked around and suddenly said.

"The Temple is generous in nurturing talents and will never bury them. The Temple will also reward those who have made contributions. I'm sure you have no objection to Miss Hui using her own abilities to uncover the Temple's evil spirit!"

"No, no"

"Of course not!"

Everyone could only nod numbly at the High Priest's smug expression, because it was their faces that were swollen.

"Then, this child should also receive a reward that matches her status and behavior! Do you have any objection to this?"

"No no"

Another numb nod.

"Okay, if you put it that way then there's no problem."

Dilock patted Kato Megumi on the shoulder.

"From today on, she is the Saint of our temple!"

“good good”

Nodding numbly.

……

……

No...something seems wrong.

What!? Saint!

Kato Megumi blinked: "Huh?"

The confused juror said: "What did I just agree to!!!"

"No!"

"Master Priest, this matter must be considered carefully."

Although they were stunned for a while and missed the best opportunity to object, everyone reacted immediately. Several priests looked at each other and stopped Priest Dilock's decision.

Dilock seemed to know that they would object, and there was no surprise on his face. Instead, he asked back.

"What? Didn't you just agree? Why are you going back on your word now?"

"Master Priest, you are making a far-fetched argument! Although we agree to reward this girl, she cannot be the Saint. All those who have been able to serve as Saints in the past generations are people who are well-known to the Temple. They also need to have equivalent achievements such as killing demon kings, have superb talents, and..."

"Yes, yes, the Saint is the role model of the temple. How can she easily promise others..."

Seeing their objection, Dilock became a little impatient, so he waved his hand to stop them.
