Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

After the other party left, Elena stood there in a daze for a moment...then frowned and looked in the direction of the Temple of Mother Earth.

"What a tenacious fellow..."

……

……

Wanting to spy on the "enemy situation", Elena naturally couldn't be high-profile, but on the other hand, she didn't like to be low-key either, so she changed out of her priest uniform, put on a simple dress, tied her hair up, and went to the other party's hotel.

After changing her clothes, Elena no longer had that arrogant and conceited feeling, but instead had a more light, elegant and calm look. That's what Elena thought. Although she looked at herself critically, it had to be said that Elena looked very good. Once she took off the arrogance of a priest, the whole person suddenly became pleasing to the eye.

However, some people look pleasing to the eye, but their behavior is hard to describe.

At least Aina had a deep understanding of this. Looking at Priest Elena standing in the front row, Aina didn't know what to say.

Before the restaurant opened and everyone was working hard on the farm, the other party would come to the girls from time to time, tell them about the benefits of the Water Temple, and offer to house them and provide them with stable jobs and security.

However, not many people agreed to leave at that time. One reason was that they had accepted the kindness and help of the saint. If they left at this time, it would be too conscienceless. In addition, everyone lived in the Temple of Mother Earth, and if one person left, it would seem out of place and extremely special. So they did not agree but just declined.

The second reason was that they had heard about the conflict between the Temple of Earth Mother and the Temple of Water, and knew that Priest Elena and the Temple of Water were not very friendly to the Temple of Earth Mother. Their departure might cause the Temple of Earth Mother to be discussed by outsiders, the enthusiasm of the saint would be extinguished, and the temple would be accused of being useless, and even they could not stay. So after all this, they gave up the idea.

Of course, some of them were tempted, but they were persuaded by Elena and analyzed the situation, and turned back to reject Elena.

And now, looking at Elena in casual clothes standing in line like an ordinary beautiful woman, Elena had a complex emotion in her heart that she didn't know how to express.

When she was called by the girl at the front desk just now, she thought something was wrong, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

You know, she just wanted to come and see how these girls were doing and show some concern, but who knew she would run into her mortal enemy.

"Elena...why are you here..."

Aina pulled Elena out of the team and to a secluded place, and asked with a somewhat vigilant look on her face.

"I heard that the Saint opened a new restaurant. I was very curious, so I wanted to try it. What's the matter? Don't you welcome me in your restaurant?"

Elena curled the corners of her mouth and smiled, then looked around.

Well...it's okay, so-so.

"It was my turn in the queue. Who would have thought that your waiter would be so surprised to see me that he called you over. Then you pulled me out of the queue and brought me here. I don't know what you mean. Priest Aina."

"Don't be so pretentious, Elena. How could I not know what you are thinking? Are you here to cause trouble?"

"How could that be? How could you think that... Priest Aina..." Elena looked at her in surprise, "Oh my God, I, Elena, can swear to God that I definitely don't have such thoughts. I just came to see what it's like here. I heard that your mapo tofu is quite delicious, and it uses an ingredient called soybeans. I am also a person who loves to eat delicious food. When I heard about such delicious food, I naturally wanted to try it."

"Just take a look. What exactly is the food of the so-called food capital? What kind of person is your Saint Lady to come up with something like this and bring the temple back to life..."

In the face of Elena's words, Ina didn't believe it at all. She looked at Elena suspiciously.

"When did you start liking gourmet food? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Well... I am now..." Elena answered calmly, and looked at her in surprise, "I didn't expect that Priest Aina understood me so well. I thought you hated me..."

Seeing Elena pretending again, Ina frowned.

Elena had complicated feelings. On the one hand, it was because the other party had been harassing her constantly and causing trouble for her. But on the other hand, she could understand her feelings. Although the other party targeted her, he did not use abnormal means. The fundamental reason why the temple was in such decline was that she was too young and lacked experience.

The departure of the previous priest caused the morale of the people in the temple to collapse, and it was a helpless move for them to go their separate ways. After all, more than half of the priests died in that battle, and the temple knew at a glance that there was no hope. It was only natural for them to go to the better Temple of the Mother Earth for development. After all, the priests were not bound to one branch temple.

Aina could understand all of this. These were the consequences caused by the previous priest. Aina took over in a hurry and could only swallow her teeth.

The mistake and carelessness of the previous high priest also caused huge losses to the Water Temple branch, which was an ally. Elena became sarcastic and the breakdown of the relationship between the two was expected.

However, it has been more than ten years since the incident, and the other party should have let it go by now.

After all, the priest was punished for this, and the temple has paid the consequences for him. Now this cause and effect should have come to an end.

Thinking of this, Ina felt a little dissatisfied, and then looked at Elena.

"What do you want? It's been many years since that happened. I think you've had enough..."

"That's enough? Do you think I am willing to suppress this shabby temple of yours... If it weren't for that incident, and the main temple found me guilty, do you think I would be willing to stay in this mediocre place?"

Elena scoffed.

"Then why did you..."

"Why?" Elena suddenly looked up and down at the puzzled Aina, then sneered, "It doesn't matter if I tell you. I just want you to get out of here and leave Luoha City. I need this achievement, it's that simple."

Ina looked at her in silence.

"We were allies before..."

"How dare you say that? It was because of our alliance that we were betrayed by your priest in our last joint action. As a result, the main temple was dissatisfied with me and left me here, neither getting promoted nor moving forward. Do you think I am willing to accompany you here in your old age?"

"Isn't it nice here?"

"What you said is really ridiculous. Who in this world doesn't want to make further progress? Is it better to stay in this place? Or is it better to stay in the capital? Do you think everyone is as content with stability as you are?"

There was no point in talking if the conversation was not going well. Seeing that Elena looked unhappy and impatient, she didn't say anything more.

"Let's not waste any more time. I came here today to taste your so-called delicacies. So are you going to let me eat or not? Do you want to refuse the guests?"

Elena asked back.

"Of course... no, but in view of your previous unfriendly behavior, I will monitor you..." Seeing that Elena looked like she had something to say quickly, Elena choked and then said, "Do you want to eat indoors or in the hall?"

"Oh, whatever you want...then let's go inside...it's too noisy outside."

Anyway, she really wanted to try some so-called delicacies today, and she didn't have any special ideas. Besides, she wouldn't do anything shady. At most, she would spend a lot of money to get the recipe and find someone to make it. It was a mutual agreement.

Soon, Elena was taken to a private room with a nice environment, and the dishes were quickly served.

She scooped up a small piece of tender tofu with a spoon and began to taste it. The delicious and slightly spicy taste immediately filled her mouth. It melted in her mouth, smooth and delicious. Elena, who had originally been somewhat unsurprised, was immediately amazed.

Looking at Elena's appearance, Elena said proudly.

"How is it... This is a recipe made by the Saint Lady herself. It is a unique delicacy. I'm afraid you won't be able to use the same method against us again this time."

However, Elena ignored her and quickly calmed down, savoring the food slowly, bite by bite.

It tastes good... maybe it would be better if there wasn't a living person staring at me.

"Hey, I just want to eat, but it's really annoying to have mosquitoes buzzing all the time. It's really slow to decide when the next dish will be served."

"..."

Seeing that the other party really started eating, Ina became a little anxious.

"Elena! What on earth do you want to do?"

"What to do?" Elena wiped her mouth, "Of course, eat, what else can I do?"

"I advise you not to do anything tricky! Otherwise, the Saint will not let you go!"

Ina frowned.

However, Elena simply snorted, which made Elena angry! But she couldn't do anything.

She clenched her fists. She must not let this guy do anything.

Just like that, one ate the meal slowly and the other stared closely. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became strange, but the two people at that time didn't care at all and just did their own things.

One of them didn't lose his appetite at all because of being stared at; and the other didn't feel embarrassed because the other person was eating.

Elena thought that the other party would stare at her until she left the restaurant, but who would have thought that something suddenly happened at this time.

"Church Ena! Someone is bleeding and fainting in the restaurant!"

The door suddenly opened and a waiter suddenly ran in hurriedly.

"What!?"

Ina stood up in surprise, but soon she realized Elena was beside her.

"What? Are you looking at me? Do you think I did it? You've been staring at me the whole time."

Elena looked at Aina with interest and said innocently.

Aina frowned and looked at her, then asked the girl.

"What's with the fainting? What happened?"

"Well, I don't know either. Anyway, a table of guests fainted while eating, and now everyone in the hall is gathered around to watch..." The girl said anxiously, "Sister Carissa is not here, and there is no one in charge, so I came to find you."

After all, this was the first time such a thing happened, and the girl was at a loss, so the first thing she thought of was Priest Aina. At least she was the one who was always in charge and should know what to do.

After hearing what the girl said, Ina looked at Elena, and then comforted the girl.

"I'll go with you now. Don't worry. Maybe the customer has some health problem... It may not be a problem with the store."

"Heh...According to what you said, Priest Aina, everyone at that table is sick?"

Elena suddenly interrupted, attracting the girl's worried gaze.

"Church Eina, this..."

"Why are you so nosy! Did you do this?" Facing Aina's glare, Elena spread her hands, "I have been under your surveillance the whole time, you can't just accuse me..."

Aina narrowed her eyes.

"But you were wandering around the lobby before you lined up. Who knows if you did anything wrong?"

Ina looked at her suspiciously, but Elena was not scared.

"Is that how you see me? Ha, no wonder. It's your fault that I suppressed you and made you so nervous... But... if there's no, then there's no. As a priest, the holiness of the water god is in my heart. I won't use such a sinister method. Instead of questioning me, why don't you go and take a good look at what's going on..."

What Elena said was not wrong, but as a woman who had been suppressing the temple, Elena had to doubt her.

"I'll go take a look. Take me with you!" Aina said to the girl, and then looked at Elena, "Come with me..."

Who knows what the other party will do when you are not around, destroying the evidence or running away.

Elena smiled and said nothing. Even if the other party didn't let her go, she would still go...

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 171 Chapter Fainting in the Restaurant

Following the girl to the hall, Aina expected to see a mess, but there was none...

"Hmm? Where are the people?"

When they arrived at the destination, there was only a table of unfinished food, but the person who had fainted was gone. Ina couldn't help but ask the girl, and the girl was obviously stunned.

"Obviously... it was still there just now..."

The girl was at a loss, not understanding why the fainted person disappeared. She remembered that she had left her companions to watch over him.

Fortunately, some diners nearby answered their questions.

"Hey, are you looking for those idiots?"

"Idiot? You mean?"

The girl looked confused, and the idiots were those who fainted.

"Isn't he an idiot or something? He came to eat without even cleaning up the blood refining grass. Isn't he an idiot..."

From the words of the diners, Aina learned that when the girl called her, the saint also came; she dispersed the crowd, used the holy magic to check the conditions of the adventurers, and then judged through means that they had done a task related to blood refining grass before eating, and did not have any protection when doing the task, resulting in a large amount of toxins when breathing, so they fainted during the meal.

Coincidentally, there were adventurers who knew this team among the people eating nearby. They told everyone that they had seen these newcomers take on the Blood Refining Grass mission at the Adventurer's Guild. This reassured everyone that it was not a problem with the food.

After all, if only one person fainted, it could be said that he had a health problem, but if everyone at the table fainted, it was clearly a problem with the food. Fortunately, this group of people were together, and the arrival of the saint promptly explained the reason for their fainting, so everyone felt relieved and continued to eat.

"But speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen the Saint of the temple. I have to say that the Saint is really beautiful!"

"Hey! How can you say she's beautiful? I should say she's very beautiful. She exudes a holy light all over her body. If she came to the Adventurer's Guild, she would definitely be voted the most beautiful woman."

"You are simply vulgar, and your appearance is nothing but clouds. Don't you see that the Saint is so knowledgeable that she can even identify the presence of Blood Refining Grass by the residual smell?"

Seeing that the diners were still discussing what had just happened and the topic had turned to the saint herself, Aina couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Luckily the Saint is here. Those people should be placed in the rest area. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go take a look myself!"

Aina said to the girl.

"OK……"

Watching the girl leave, Aina looked at Elena behind her.

"Why, look at what I am doing..."

"Are you ready to leave now?"
