F-class adventurer of suspicious rumors
“Nice to meet you. This is Hyunjun Kang. Please call me Jun.”
Hyeonjun also greeted the polite greeting. Did this woman frighten the maid and make Guihern nervous? You don’t seem that dangerous, do you? Isn’t there a temple person there? The position itself as a priest is proof that he is a good man who has been stamped and guaranteed by God. But why are you reacting this way?
“I heard that a nobleman who provided great help to the temple is here, so I came to see him. Sir Gwihern, can you tell the Marquis that I am grateful for protecting you?”
“of course. Priest.”
At Gwihern’s answer, Elizabeth shyly smiled and said to Hyeon-jun.
“Brother. Go to the temple.”
“yes. Thank you for coming.”
“What, the temple has received great favor. Rather, I am sorry for being so late.”
“Grace. I just did what I had to do.”
Elizabeth smiled brightly at that answer. Hyeonjun looked at Guihern.
“I’ll just go. Thank you so much for that.”
“yes. good bye.”
Although he felt a bit regretful at his sudden, stiff attitude, Hyeon-jun calmly walked out the door. A horse stands quietly in front of the mansion, waiting.
“Let’s ride together.”
“yes? Can’t we just walk away?”
“Ummm… I think it would be better to go quickly because it will attract attention.”
“All right. Let’s get on the horse.”
Hyunjoon replied coldly. Certainly the armored man walking around with the priest in Scanden right now is too splashy. I think it would be better to ride a horse and go to the temple quickly. Elizabeth jumped up on her horse and reached out her hand to Hyeon-jun. Hyeon-jun could climb up alone, but he didn’t refuse and climbed behind Elizabeth holding her hand.
‘It’s higher than expected.’
It was a first impression. I didn’t notice it when I was looking at it from below, but after getting on the horse, I felt it was very high.
‘Where should I catch it?’
That’s my next thought. If the horse moves, I need to grab something, but when I try to grab Elizabeth’s waist or shoulders, I feel like I’m touching the body of a young woman.
“Hold your waist.”
“Ah, yes…”
Hyeonjun hesitated, then carefully grabbed her by the waist. Fortunately or unfortunately, I was able to reduce the burden because I was wearing armor inside.
“I will move. Hold on tighter.”
“it’s okay.”
The horse started moving slowly. Hyeonjun started to get a little excited as his body shook at the movement of the horse. It’s my first time riding a horse. It’s hard to describe something, but it’s a little fun. After leisurely passing through the garden and arriving at the door, the soldiers opened it.
“thank you.”
Elizabeth softly greeted them, and Hyeon-jun also bowed before passing by. As soon as she left the grounds of Bentinga’s mansion, Elizabeth sped up a little and ran down the street. I wondered if it would be okay since it was a place where nobles also went, but like the miracle of Moses, the road opened wide. Even if the servants tried to do so, even the aristocrat’s carriage escaped as if he had seen a ghost and opened the way.
‘…Something seems wrong?’
Only then did Hyunjoon notice the situation. You seem to be caught in an unusual situation.
“That, priest.”
“yes. brother.”

Hyeon-jun, who had already perfectly adapted to the movement of the horse, spoke to her, and Elizabeth answered.
“I’m sorry I don’t know much about the temple, but why is the priest’s outfit red?”
“Oh, that’s right. no wonder···.”
‘Is this X?’
“I am the priest who serves Lord Karios and the inquisitor who holds his scales.”
‘It’s true that it’s X.’
I don’t know what the Inquisitor here is, but the image of the Inquisitor he has is that of a medieval Inquisitor. Those who endlessly caught and killed innocent people saying it was a witch hunt. In fact, it wasn’t something that could be explained so simply, but from Hyunjun’s point of view, it was. Of course, this place will not kill innocent people as much as God exists, but it can’t help but be afraid.
When Hyeon-jun was silent, Elizabeth spoke in a slightly sad voice.
“I don’t hurt innocent people just because I’m an Inquisitor…”
“no. Not that. Because I don’t know.”
“Is that so?”
The conversation stopped for a moment. In the awkward silence, Elizabeth spoke to Hyeon-jun.
“Brother, why did you want to help the temple?”
“Well, there is no particular reason.”
“I heard that it was only a request for 3 fairy tales. It must not have been a request that an ordinary adventurer would receive.”
Of course. Because Hyunjoon also tried to ignore it. Doing a request that doesn’t know how long it might take for three fairy tales is something only an idle guy full of rotten money or a sensitive philanthropist would do.
“In Karios-sama’s temple, there are those who have been greatly favored before…”
Hyunjoon pondered for a moment. Even so, I couldn’t talk about the quest.
“I don’t worship God, but if God saw it, he would have told me to do it.”
It was just lip service with a light heart while talking to the priest. But the horse, which was running well, suddenly stopped. Embarrassed, Hyeonjun grabbed Elizabeth’s waist tightly.
“What happened···.”
Hyeon-jun, who was talking to Elizabeth, was speechless when she looked back. She was smiling brightly and brightly like a flower blooming under the spring sun. But Hyeonjun’s laugh sent chills down his spine.
“really really. You are truly wonderful. I don’t know how many times it’s been since I’ve seen such a warm-hearted and sincere person. I was really impressed. brother.”
“Yes, yes.”
“I can’t stand this joy. It is clear that God is leading me to meet such a great person as you.”
Hyeon-jun realized that all the smiles she had seen so far were made up of masks. Her smile and words that I see now are probably her unfeigned sincerity. Hyeon-joon’s back was wet with cold sweat as he trembled and spoke frantically with a red face as if in rapture.
‘It’s a madman.’
She was very thin, but she appeared to be a thin, sweet, and shy person, and she seemed to be truly insane. No matter how you look at it, it only looks like a fanatic. I want to get off my horse and run away. In fact, I’m afraid of what will happen if I find out that I was forced to accept the request because of the quest.
“Hey, how about going to the temple for now?”
“Oh, dear. sorry. I’m excited.”
Contrary to Hyeon-jun’s impatient mind, Elizabeth spoke in a trembling voice.
“I was really angry at the disastrous incident that happened in Scanden and the aristocrats who broke their promise to the temple, but seeing nobles like you like this brother, I realized once again that warm-hearted people are still brightening up the world. I was lacking. As long as there are such wonderful people, the light will never disappear in the world.”
‘Ah, I want to go home.’
“Oh, but brother.”
“Yes, yes!”
I was startled and answered out loud without knowing it.
“Don’t say that you are blessed by the temple. This is what the temple should do. Those who have reached out to you will surely feel the same way.”
“yes. All right.”
“And such a good cycle continues to light up the world like this. Isn’t it really beautiful?”
“of course!”
‘I don’t know!’
“Whoop whoop.”
“ha ha ha!”
Hyeon-jun, who enjoyed the bloody drive while listening to Elizabeth talking excitedly, had a haggard complexion like a person who stayed up all night for three nights unable to hide his exhausted spirit by the time he reached the temple. When I got off the horse and entered the temple, the priests were waiting to greet me.
“oh my god! brother are you okay? Your complexion is bad.”
“Have you ever been threatened at Bentinga?”
“No, I got along very well in Bentinga. I ate well, washed well, and slept well.”
“But why is your complexion…”
“It’s just that I have something to worry about.”
Hyeonjun tried to laugh as he calmed down the priests who were about to run away.
“Everyone, have you heard the reason Brother Jun accepted the request?”
“for a moment···.”
“Brother June came out to help the temple even though the commission fee was only 3 fairy tales. I just heard the reason and I am moved to tears.”
“Sah, wait a minute, priest.”
“Hey Karios! Brother Jun is nothing! Even with the outrageous request fee of 3 fairy tales! He said God would have wanted it and he reached out without hesitation for the children!”
‘stop!’
“Brother!”
“Hey Karios! We already knew! He burned himself to save the children and Idelia, even jumping into Tahman’s power without hesitation!”
It was really burned in a physical sense, but I wanted to get out of this frenzy quickly.
“oh my god! Even for small ide! I didn’t know! Come to think of it, where is this? I didn’t see you even when I came earlier.”
“Ah, that’s… Idelia is now inside…”
The priest hesitantly answered Elizabeth’s question.
“It’s small! where are you!”
Elizabeth exclaimed vigorously. It looks like a simple country girl, but to Hyeon-jun, it looks shady and creepy, like a trace of madness.
“Come on, sister…”
“It’s small! Don’t hide, come quickly. Won’t you hug your sister?”
Edelia came out of the door hesitantly. But he lowered his head and did not show his face.
“Whoa, do you feel embarrassed?”
Elizabeth ran to her, hugged her, and kissed her face.
“Come on, sister. for a moment···.”
“It’s a small one, but don’t be sad about it and call me unnie. Fufu, I can’t even call it a small ide anymore. Already this big… Come on, show me your face.”
“that is···.”
“Why? Do you have any problem···.”
Elizabeth, who had been talking excitedly alone, stopped laughing when she saw Idelia’s face. The temple courtyard was enveloped in silence and the priests hesitantly retreated. Hyeonjun? He has already gone out of the temple and is carefully examining the situation. Something, something seems to happen.
“This, this, this, this, this, this!”
“Ji, calm down.”
“Ide’s eyebrows!”
“You will grow up soon!”
“I can’t believe that hat!”
“oh!”
Elizabeth quickly took off Idelia’s hat. During the day Hyeon-jun was at Benting Street, his hair had grown so dense that the scalp was already invisible, exposed under the sun. Elizabeth looked at Idelia’s head and stopped with a devastated face.
“You know, my sister, but she will grow up soon! Do not worry!”
Despite Edelia’s urgent words, Elizabeth was stiff and did not move. Edelia snatched the hat from Elizabeth’s hand and put it back on her head.
“ruler!”
I don’t know what ‘Come on!’, but Idelia tried to keep an eye on Elizabeth. However, tears welled up in Elizabeth’s eyes and poured uncontrollably.
“I, Ide’s, pretty hair…”
“Oh, sister! it’s okay!”
“This is… how could it be so cruel…”
Elizabeth hugged Idelia tightly. Edelia struggled with her hands, then wrapped her arms around Elizabeth’s back, not knowing what to do.
‘Let’s try something!’
The priests mercilessly turned away from Idelia, who shouted silently over Elizabeth’s shoulder.
“Hey, this. Don’t worry too much. It will grow back soon. You will grow up soon.”
“yes! Didn’t I tell you that!”
“Ah… Ide… Tears come to my eyes just thinking about how upset I must have been.”
“no! Not upset at all! Really!”
“You must be sad, but you said that to comfort me. Really, I don’t know how I grew up to be this great before I knew it.”
“…”
Hyeon-joon silently gave a blow to Idelia.
‘I’m doing well.’
“It would have been really dangerous without Jun.”
‘hey!’
“ah! Brother June!”
Elizabeth glanced around. Hyeonjun smiled awkwardly and reentered the temple.
“I really just want to thank my brother.”
“Oh, no.”
This time, Lee Delia returned the double stick to Hyun-jun.
“Oh, look at my mind. Don’t talk outside like this, go inside.”
“Idelia seems to have a lot to talk about with the priest, so let’s go together.”
Idelia, startled, tried to open her mouth, but when Elizabeth turned around, she completely changed her expression and nodded with a smile.
“yes!”
Hyeon-jun and Idelia’s eyes met as they followed behind Elizabeth.
‘I can’t die alone.’
‘Didn’t I quarrel with you first!’
“I’ll go in when Sister Elizabeth calms down.”
“That would be nice.”
Hearing the whispers of the priests, Hyeon-jun took a weak step.
