After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

Of course, the so-called resignation was just a joke.

Like Charlotte, she cooperated with Aize because of certain goals of her own.

I will definitely not give up easily.

But just because she won't give up easily doesn't mean she won't use this to tease Aize:

"So, you're saying I'm too important to quit, right? Then, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

"...Uh, like?"

"for example……"

The forty-year-old middle-aged man tilted his head with an expression of serious thought - it really didn't look conducive to the healthy development of his body and mind.

Aize tried hard to imagine her as she really was, which seemed a little more normal.

"Like a raise? No, that's not right. I get paid by the church, and you've never given me one. Or a gift? No, that's not right. It seems like you've never given me anything. How about when you return to the Holy City, come and visit me when you have time? No, that's not right. When you were in the Holy City before, you didn't come to visit me very often..."

After saying that, she put on an extremely kind smile and slowly shifted her gaze to Aize.

"Lord Aize, what do you think?"

Rather than thinking about things, it seems more like complaining about Aize's straight man and black-hearted boss behavior.

This made Aize, who felt a little more emotional after leaving the team, break out in cold sweats.

Almost subconsciously, he turned his head away, avoiding the other person's sight:

"……sorry."

"Huh? What's wrong? Why aren't you looking at me? And why are you looking away?"

"Sorry! I should go back to the Holy City in a while. You can talk to me about anything then, okay? Okay?"

It was indeed wrong for him to ignore these things, and Aize had no excuse.

Just admit your mistake honestly.

"Hmph, that sounds nice."

The other person pouted slightly.

Please consciously ignore her current appearance and imagine her as a beautiful girl.

"You, please don't get so caught up in the cute witch that you forget about me."

"……what?"

Aize looked up in surprise.

This time, it was the other party's turn to avoid his sight.

"Just kidding. I'm glad to see you're more human than before. Next time you return to the Holy City, just remember to come visit me. I'll start gathering the information you requested immediately and try to send it to you before our next scheduled contact. This body will no longer be used. Over."

After saying that, accompanied by a sharp "sizzling" sound, a thread-like object fell from the middle-aged man's neck and turned into ashes in mid-air.

This was the medium through which the opponent activated his ability, and it self-destructed as the spell was released.

The middle-aged man regained his self-awareness and looked around in confusion, completely confused about what had just happened.

When he returned to God and wanted to cause trouble for Aize again, the latter had already taken the opportunity to slip away without a trace.

After a lot of random thinking without any results, I just thought it was an illusion caused by sun exposure.

He didn't pay much attention to it and sat down to continue fishing.

Aize took the opportunity to return to the mansion.

Here, Villian had already controlled the puppet and loaded all the luggage, which was not much to begin with, onto the carriage, and even cleaned the house.

After all, it was the lord who lent it to me, so I should still be polite.

Watching Aize coming back from afar, Miss Witch leaned against the carriage, waved her hand, and asked:

"What do you mean? Has it been settled over there?"

"Well, it's done. The priest's affairs can be left to the lord. We can just set off."

After saying that, he planned to get in the car.

However, the moment his hand grabbed the door frame, he stopped.

"Feel sorry."

"Um?"

The sudden apology caught Villian off guard.

"Well, a good vacation turned out like this again. The situation is serious and there's nothing we can do. So... no, let's do it again after this is over."

"Hmm~"

Villian blinked.

Then she smiled sweetly, walked past Aize, and got on the carriage first.

Then he turned around, grabbed Aize's hand, and pulled him in:

"What are you still talking about? To me, as long as you're around, every place is a vacation. Is there any need to apologize? Let's go! It's time to leave!"

Chapter 10 On the eve of the expedition

Leah Alfred's experience in the past two months was basically a cycle.

When he just returned to the Holy City, he was arrested and placed under house arrest for disobeying orders. Then he beat up the court staff in a rage and was thrown directly into prison. Later, he killed people and escaped from prison. He single-handedly caused chaos in the entire Holy City.

Now, with the trial over, she was once again taken out of the harsh prison environment and put back into the room where she was previously imprisoned.

After going around in circles, I'm back to the starting point.

But the difference is that this time when she came back, Leah was in an unusually good mood.

In the previous trial, Rosaline's series of actions instantly turned the deadlock around.

The Inquisition, which had been sure of victory and was even seriously discussing whether to hang, behead or burn Leah, became a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat overnight. All functions have been suspended and it is now under investigation.

The other departments that were complaining about the murder of their members also fell into panic because they witnessed the "divine punishment" suffered by the Inquisition with their own eyes.

No one dared to pursue Leah's crimes any further.

Therefore, although she is still imprisoned procedurally, it is only a matter of time before she is acquitted.

Seeing these "heretics" in her mind collapse and become miserable before the "miracle" of the goddess, Leia's two-month depression was almost cured in an instant.

Even when I was lying on the sofa, I couldn't help humming a song.

dong dong dong-

There was a knock on the door, and the closed door opened immediately.

Rosaline appeared there again, holding the holy staff.

As always, dressed in pure white, and smiling as always.

"Long time no see, Xiaoya. I'm so sorry for not visiting you for so long. You know, the church..."

"what are you talking about!!!"

Leia interrupted the other person without hesitation, jumped up, rushed forward, grabbed the other person's hand and shook it desperately.

"I'm the one who should be apologizing. I really thought you'd abandoned me! I never thought you could do such a thing! I was too impatient before. I knew that neither the goddess nor you would abandon me!"

In contrast to Leah's fiery attitude, Rosaline's expression remained completely calm.

Just kept smiling and shook his head:

"No, this is what I should do."

"No, no, to be honest, I... No, that's not right, why are you standing? Sit down quickly~"

Leah happily pulled her to her seat, and then, for the first time ever, she even busied herself making coffee for her.

She hasn't been in such a good mood in almost two years.

"Come, please use it~"

"Thank you."

Rosalyn picked up the steaming cup, blew gently on the steam, and then slowly took a sip.

Her brows furrowed slightly - this was not a common thing for her.

There's no way. Since coming to this world, Leia hasn't touched these odd jobs again. The amount used is up or down by dozens of percentage points, which makes the taste a bit abstract. That's normal.

But she herself was completely unaware of this.

After happily sitting down opposite Rosaline, the blond hero rubbed his hands and asked impatiently:

"How's it going now? When can I get out?"

"Well..."

Rosalyn slowly placed the cup on the coffee table without touching it again.

"Currently, the investigation team, led by His Holiness the Pope, is reviewing all the clues provided by witnesses and conducting additional trials and sanctions on the relevant personnel. Because the amount of information is so large, it will take some time."

It will take a while.

This made Leah, who was originally extremely excited, feel a lot more depressed.

During the time she was imprisoned and hunted, other teams of heroes had not stopped their activities. If this continued, the gap in achievements between her and them would likely become so large that it could not be made up.

For example, the Silver Star Squad.

That bastard Uriel had hit Leah so hard before that her arm hadn't recovered yet. It was only with the help of the church's enchanted prosthesis that she was able to avoid becoming a disabled person.

And... huh?

I always feel like I've forgotten someone?

Leah tilted her head, pondered for a moment, then clapped her hands and asked:

"Speaking of which, where's Heidi? Where did she go? Why hasn't she returned to the capital yet?"

"She won't be back for a while."

"……ha?"

"Not long ago, the church received news that Heidi, with the support of Aize, has officially ascended the throne as queen and is currently busy with her domestic affairs."

Leia's expression froze, and her anger rose from negative to one thousand percent in a few seconds.

Then he slammed the case and said:

"While I was being framed as a heretic, that girl was actually doing these things? What's the point!? And what about the succession to the throne? Didn't she say two years ago that she had to fulfill her duty as a hero and therefore wouldn't take the throne for the time being?!"

In the past, Heidi did not inherit the throne in order not to provoke the domestic nobles and maintain a relatively balanced situation so as not to collapse.

The so-called completion of the identity of a hero and therefore the reason for not inheriting it was just an excuse she made for herself. After all, the real reason could not be spoken out loud.

Everyone knows this.

Except Leah.

She seriously believed that Heidi refused to be queen in order to fulfill her duty as God's chosen hero.

I even had a good impression of her for a while because of this.

The result turned out to be what it is now.

Moreover, there were even some contents mixed in that made her even more unhappy.

"What's with Aize's support?! Now that he's left the church and abandoned his identity as a hero, who is he anymore? Why would he support such a big thing?!"

"This is a long story. We can talk about it slowly when we have the chance."

Rosalyn didn't want to waste too much time on these trivial matters, so she simply changed the subject.

"Today, I'm here to say goodbye."

"Uh, goodbye? You?"

Leah was petrified once again, blinking her eyes, and didn't react for several seconds.

The pure white saint nodded:
