Chris's Faith of Fire

"It's not convincing at all. There are only two guest rooms here."

"Yes, I only rest on the recliner in the afternoon. Even if you say this, you will definitely not believe it, but I don't need to explain too much for non-existent crimes. The goddess knows everything."

Well, this look is so clear that there is no trace of turbidity in it.

If he was lying, the degree of completion would be too high...

As expected of a Cardinal.

"So, sweet dreams."

After saying that, he left at a slow pace.

I didn’t even have a chance to say good night...

Chapter 67 67. Under the light——5

I got up extremely early and went to the backyard of the monastery to pray towards the north.

I closed my hands, although it was just a formality, but I wanted to be as pious as possible and not think about other things at this moment.

"Father, I will obey your teachings."

Even though he later fell into the devil's path, he was still my father before that. Although the one year we spent together was short, Garnet's belief in fire will benefit me throughout my life.

Let me explain my thoughts to those children today. Cole may not be able to accept it, but seeing the cardinal yesterday made me wonder. Is he really that unforgivable?

There is a gentle and beautiful female lord on one side, and a bloated middle-aged senior official of the Holy See on the other. At this time, everyone will tend to Yvette's side.

My preconceived notions made me lose the direction of my thinking. Only those two people know the truth.

Just let it go.

Back in the restaurant, everyone was preparing lunch, but today Miss Yvette appeared with a smile on her face.

I came among the orphans, and they surrounded me like a welcome.

"Ah, brother Chris!"

Nowadays, being called brother is a strange experience. Why can't these children see it but Zachary can see through it at a glance?Is it because of the length of life experience?

"How about it, have you seen that bastard!"

"Did you teach him a lesson?"

As expected, I was concerned about this matter from the moment I came up. Yvette looked at me curiously from a distance and smiled slightly after noticing that I was asking for help from her.

Step forward and gently pull the children away.

"What's wrong? Is there something that I can't tell my sister and I have to pester my brother Chris?"

Her every frown and smile can immediately attract the attention of children. Perhaps to these children she is greater than the goddess Nefera in the chapel.

"It's nothing! Sister is too concerned, we are just asking Brother Chris about things during the trip!"

They lied, and it's not good to point it out on the spot, but should I really continue to let them go like this?

"Oh, oh, can I ask you later? It's meal time now."

"Um, sorry, Sister Yvette."

"It's okay, don't apologize~~ Cole, and so is Carter."

The children's cheeks are slightly rosy, and now they show innocence and cuteness that are completely in line with their young age.

He was able to calm down the children with just a few words, which was really impressive.

Everyone returned to their original seats, and Yvette and I sat at another table.

"So, what does Chris want from me?"

Her expression is innocent, so be careful about asking questions.

"I went to chapel last night."

"Huh? Why would Chris go there?"

"I was attracted by the sound of the organ. I thought it was Miss Yvette playing, but I didn't expect it was the Cardinal."

I observed her expression and looked slightly panicked.

It was probably because of something between him and that cardinal that he showed this expression.

"Speaking of which, Miss Yvette and Mr. Zachary are very close, right? I even tried to stop him, but he said he played it because you allowed it."

Go deeper into the center of the matter and observe Yvette's expression at this moment.

She frowned, as if she had eaten something extremely unpleasant.

"Cardinal... Lord Zachary... I'm sorry, I don't want to mention this matter, so I'll take my leave now."

Yvette murmured a few words and left the table.

Sure enough, there must be something.

The expression looked like he was afraid of something.

◆ ◇

Miss Yvette seemed to be in an unusual condition, and the children didn't ask anything. They always felt that there was a subtle sense of distance between them.

After finishing lunch and helping put away the tableware, Lian called everyone back to the room.

Lian started to pack her things and said to us:

"Get ready to pack your things, we'll leave tomorrow morning."

He said it very naturally, as if he had already decided it, but we couldn't react.

"Wait! Lian, what happened? Why are you so hasty all of a sudden? Didn't you promise Miss Yvette to stay for a few more days?"

Fami and Haggar were also surprised when they faced him.

"Boss, why is this? You have to leave suddenly."

"Master, you really encountered something in the forest to the west, right?"

Fami's senses were very keen. Everyone looked at his torn shirt. Lian raised his cloak to block it and nodded slightly.

"We'll talk about the details later... I plan to rest, and I have to get up early tomorrow."

"Is it because of Miss Yvette's matter?"

I asked questions cautiously. Miss Yvette's unusual attitude made me feel worried, but I always felt that there was something different.

Lian shook her head.

"It's not these little things..."

"Small things..."

"Every second I spend here now scares me."

What kind of monster did he see in the forest to say such words.

"If Lian really encounters such a powerful monster, is it really okay not to tell the people in this town?"

"I have already told the town, but no one wants to leave, not to mention Miss Yvette and the orphans, and if they are involved in this matter, we will be really doomed."

"..."

All of us lost the ability to continue asking. Looking at Lian who was packing her luggage seriously, Hager was the first to start packing.

Fami patted me on the shoulder and started to clean up.

I'm the only one standing here.

It’s true that I don’t have much luggage, but that’s not what bothers me.

But is Miss Yvette involved in what Lian saw?

Can't figure it out...

Although she is mysterious, she is a gentle and good person. I can't accept it when she suddenly said such things.

And what did the cardinal mean?

Full of questions.

The intelligence I collected was so fragmented that I couldn't extract effective information from it.

The only thing Lian is afraid of is the Demon King's army.

Among them, only high-level demons can scare him...

But if Yvette was a high-level demon, there was no way Lian wouldn't be able to tell it immediately.

The key is what did he see in the forest?

Then it was judged from it that Miss Yvette might also be related to that thing.

I can't figure anything out if I think about it like this.

I opened the door and walked out of the room. Fami and Hager glanced here, but in the end they didn't say anything.

This will be the end.

I will return to the Duke of Sajavir's house, and with any luck they will accept me.

However, things here still fill my mind like a mystery.

I went back to my room and lay on the bed without taking off my clothes.

Wouldn't it be great to leave this border town of Deathstroke and return to Shahavier's house?

I will live the life of a young lady again, and at worst I will be just a maid. Anyway, I will no longer sleep in the open and have my life threatened by monsters...

Although right now the Demon King is planning to invade every corner of the world.

But I don’t have any power at all, do I? Even the illusion spell, which is the only one with a little bit of talent, I haven’t practiced for a long time, because that kind of spell is really just a magic trick that has no use other than to fool around!

I really want to be an adventurer, a warrior or a magician like those in comics or games, killing everyone...

However, the reality is that I am even afraid of insects in the wild.

Wouldn't it be great? If you listen to Lian, you will be saved. Leave this town with nothing, don't have any friction with them, and leave quickly before the Demon King's army reaches here.

As for Miss Yvette and the others, Lian has already said before that they are unwilling to leave and cannot force it.

In this case, just stay safe. A large number of people are dying in my world every moment. This is not a world that can be played casually.

Be it me, Hager, Fami, Lian...

Any one of us may lose our lives in the next moment. I must not have understood it if I had not experienced this kind of adventurous life and lived in a comfortable world in my previous life.

Travel, escape, deceive, kill...

Really, don’t impose such hard-to-die things on me.

I want to fall on the bed and wait for dawn, but I can't fall asleep...

Yvette, Veda.

Although I was not someone I could get along with for a long time, I still felt a bit regretful when I thought of leaving.

Especially Veda, her last expression is deeply imprinted on my retinas and I still can’t forget it.

"Ah! It's very annoying."

He lifted up the blanket and jumped up.

After struggling for a while, I wanted to jump up and see what happened.

It was just after dinner, so Miss Yvette should still be busy.

Not so good thoughts were running through my head.

I remember her room was the easternmost room upstairs...

Just let me find out.

I opened the door of my room very quietly. I didn't even wear shoes in order not to alarm Lian and the others next door. I walked barefoot in the corridor step by step. The floor was a little icey, but considering the early summer weather, it was not uncomfortable.

I didn't pass directly in front of Lian's room door. Lian's long, pointed ears seemed to have good hearing. I made a long circle in the opposite direction and slowly walked up the long stairs.

As expected, everyone was still in the restaurant, and their noisy voices could be heard from above. Yvette should have taken the girls to take a shower at this time. To be on the safe side, I made up an excuse and knocked on the door gently. .
