F-class adventurer of suspicious rumors
Upon entering the room, Elizabeth seated Hyeon-jun across from her and dragged Idelia onto her lap. When Hyeon-jun and Idelia’s eyes met, Idelia slightly averted her eyes.
“I’m already grown up…”

“Huh, it’s just because I miss you.”
Ethelia seemed to have finally given up on Elizabeth as she gently embraced her, and relaxed and leaned on her comfortably. Elizabeth put her chin on Idelia’s shoulder and closed her eyes as if feeling her warmth.
“I can’t take the two of you away from the fun. May I go out?”
“Oh, sorry. I have something to tell you, and I want to hear something, is that okay?”
“Ah, yes.”
Hyeon-joon, who hesitated as he was about to get up, sat down again.
“Brother June is a party to this and it would be good to know the details.”
“yes.”
Elizabeth blinked once, and the atmosphere changed in an instant. His face, which had been like a warm spring day, had changed into a dry and calm face. It’s a horrifying change.
“Three days ago, Sister Deliana contacted the Daeshinjeon through the Consulate of Scanden.”
Elizabeth lowered her eyes and began to speak softly, as if in a whisper.
“Sister Deliana said it doesn’t seem like nobles were involved, but it’s suspicious. Nobles and royalty made a pact with the temple. To help each other with things for humanity. However, the nobles consistently ignored the request of the temple.”
The eyes sink coldly. Your voice is cold as ice. Even Hyeon-jun hates such a drastic change, but will Edellia be shocked? She is hardened by the cold voice right next to her ear, unable to breathe.
“It is sad. The Daeshinjeon judged that the nobles could be involved in this, and I, the interrogator, was dispatched. The trial is currently being prepared under Sister Deliana’s control, and the trial will be held tomorrow at the earliest or two days at the latest. Suspected Scandan nobles cannot leave the city, and if they do not comply with the trial, they will be stripped of their titles and armed intervention of the temple and city guards will begin.”
A chill runs down your spine. If this is done wrong, the nobles of Scanden could die one after another.
“Under normal circumstances, such a large-scale trial is rare, but Tahman’s power was used. Everyone involved must be caught and thoroughly investigated.”
“Well, I don’t know much about Tahman’s power. Can I ask for an explanation?”
Elizabeth nodded. Her frizzy blonde hair tickled Idelia’s cheeks, but she didn’t budge. You can see the unconcealed tension on her face.
“Tahman are the beings who aimed their swords at the gods in the past. It is unknown how many they were and how strong they were, but according to records, the world was plunged into darkness, and humans were gathered in one place under the protection of the temple, and they were barely able to survive. In the end, it is said that the Paladins came out and drove out the darkness and sealed the Tahmans. Their power is black and ominous, a force that kills the living. It is in conflict with divine power, and mana can also offset Tahman’s power. However, it is impossible to deal with them without the power of transcendence.”
‘Is it like an ancient devil?’
“Doesn’t God use power directly?”
I’ve been curious about it before. If there is a god, why not use his own power? Look at the priests and paladins who received divine power from the gods. its mighty power. That’s just a tiny piece of God’s power. One gesture from them will save more people and illuminate the world.
“We don’t know for sure either. In the past, there have been times where gods have shown their power, albeit indirectly… There are claims that God does not intervene for human free will, claims that the world of gods is too far away to exercise direct power, and claims that God is indifferent to humans. Of course, God is always watching over us.”
“yes···.”
Hyeonjun nodded his head at the firm words. If I tried to argue something here, it would be a big deal, so I just passed it over. Anyway, I know that God doesn’t get very involved in human affairs. If so, there’s something else I’m curious about.
“Then, how do paladins find dangerous places to go?”
“mmm…”
Elizabeth let out a quiet voice as if pondering for a moment and rubbed her cheek against Idelia’s face. Seeing Idelia’s face pressed down, Hyeonjun smiled and Idelia raised her eyebrows.
“Can you promise not to tell anyone?”
“It’s okay if it’s a secret.”
“I can tell you a little, if you promise me.”
Hyunjoon felt a strange sensation. Aren’t you obsessed with promises to a strange extent from before?
“Sister, isn’t there something I need to tell you in advance?”
Idelia, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up. Elizabeth was startled and said hastily.
“Oops, sorry. Brother June did not know much about the Inquisitor. It would have been a big deal. Among those who have received Karios-sama’s divine power, they often receive the ability to ascertain the authenticity of the words of others, and these people become the Inquisitors.”
‘This crazy!’
A Human Lie Detector Powered by God! I get goosebumps. Did you lie in front of her? The reason I received the request! It’s not a lie, but it’s vague. Are you okay? It went well before, so it’s okay?
“You may say something against my will, so I won’t listen.”
“All right.”
The conversation stopped for a moment, and Hyeon-joon managed to gather his mind. Wouldn’t it be better not to lie?
“Then, turning the story around, it is about the trial, but Brother Jun has to participate in the trial as an important witness.”
‘sh*t!’
It must be a lot of fun to go to a courtroom where the nobles are about to hang themselves! Hyeon-jun’s thoughts were reflected on his face, and as his face distorted, Elizabeth smiled softly and said,
“But that could pose a threat to Brother June. Because of this, I am planning to go to the court after hearing the story from Brother Jun here.”
“All right, I’m glad.”
I’m so glad I was sincerely relieved. Elizabeth smiled and said to Hyeon-jun, who was relieved.
“So can you tell me more about this incident?”
“of course.”
Hyunjoon continued the story. he was bold There is no element of lying anywhere. Hyun-joon is the person who intervened the most in this case. There were things that Edelia didn’t know about, so she listened intently as well. In the meantime, when Hyeon-jun talked about the part where he returned from finding their base, Idelia’s face suddenly became depressed. Elizabeth cannot see her face, but Hyeon-jun can see her well as she sits across from her. I know why, but it’s gone for now. You can talk later, or you don’t have to. When Hyeon-jun finished his story, Elizabeth quietly nodded as if thrilled.
“You did a great job.”
“no. So, is this all right?”
“yes. I need to go to the guard right away.”
“Suddenly?”
“We have to listen to the stories of the guards who helped us, and we have to talk to the people who came to see Brother Jun yesterday.”
Elizabeth picked up Idelia like a doll, carefully set her aside, and stood up. Even though he was so skinny, he must be a priest or he is strong.
“Then I will go to the guard. We will talk again later when the time is right.”
“yes. be careful.”
“Huh, thank you for your concern.”
Elizabeth left the room, leaving only Hyeon-jun and Idelia. Hyeonjun was exhausted and buried himself in a chair, then stretched and stood up.
“There is a story that must be told.”
Edelia said grimly. At the same time, he glanced at Hyun-joon.
“Is it important?”
“That’s it…. yes. maybe.”
Hyunjoon smiled and sat down again. I can guess what the story is about.
“okay. say it.”
However, Idelia is wiggling her fingers and only looking at Hyeon-jun. Hyeonjun waited patiently for her.
“That, when Jun returned to the temple. Ah, when I came looking for a base.”
“huh.”
“Then, that’s…”
Idelia lowered her head and was speechless. Hyeon-joon thought that he should just talk, but he waited patiently because he had seen somewhere that it was good to wait for the other person to talk in this case.
“Because Jun came back from looking for his base, and that’s because he said he just came.”
Idelia is almost crying now. Then, a drop of tear fell from her lowered eyelashes and landed on the back of her tightly clenched hand.
“I’m disappointed in Jun… That, not now. wait then Unbeknownst to me…”
Hyeonjun silently listened to Idelia’s sobbing words.
“Of course, sniff, it’s right to come back. because it’s dangerous Well, that shouldn’t be…”
When Hyeon-jun found the base and said that there would be a child in it, Edelia stopped and stared at Hyeon-jun in surprise. I didn’t know it then, but looking back I could understand her reaction. But I didn’t know that I would bring up the story while crying with guilt and sorry. I thought it would go a little lighter.
“are you okay. Well, it’s true that I left my children behind.”
“Not that! that···.”
“If you put it that way, I’m also disappointed that our apprentice paladin was such a crybaby.”
“yes?”
Idelia raised her head. The red eyes were wet with tears and even runny nose. Really, this kid’s crying face is a mess.
“It’s because they expect too much from a trivial adventurer like me in the first place. Just do it.”
“June! I am not a mediocre adventurer!”
“Ugh, yes. Okay, so wipe your nose, kid. I will go into your mouth.”
“profit!”
Seeing Idelia cover her face in shame, Hyeon-jun stood up and patted Idelia on the head.
“okay. Thank you for thinking so. I heard it from a kid, but it doesn’t make me feel bad.”
“Don’t call me kid!”
“I’ll think about it when I get ten years older.”
When Hyeon-Jun giggled, Edelia slammed Hyeon-Jun’s hand away. His face is still covered, but his pouting face is clearly visible.
“Can I spend another day at the temple? I want to get some rest.”
“I don’t know.”
“this person. I’m pissed off.”
“Do not!”
“heheheh museuu!”
“profit!”
“giggles”
Hyeon-joon quickly retreated away from Idelia’s hand. Since he still covers his face with one hand, his aggression is drastically reduced, making it easy to tease him.
“Go away quickly!”
“Oh wow, that’s scary. I get it. I’m going, go.”
Hyeonjun left the door, teasing Edelia until the end. I closed the door and heard a small muttering in the room. Hyeonjun smiled and went to find the priests. Would it be okay to sleep one more day?
“of course. If you just wanted to go, we would catch you.”
“Are you okay? What about the nobles?”
“If Sister Elizabeth, the interrogator, has come and has told you everything necessary for the trial, it’s okay. You don’t have to worry.”
After receiving permission from the priests, Hyeon-jun walked lightly into the room he was staying in before and unpacked his things. Even if it’s luggage, it’s just armor and sword. Thinking that this is all you have makes you feel a little sad. I would like to buy one backpack.
After lunch, Hyeon-jun came out into the courtyard. After Elizabeth leaves the temple, the priests are taking care of the children again, so there are children wielding weapons and Zilenai guiding them in the courtyard. The sound of children’s laughter pours out from somewhere inside the temple. I feel better when I think that I have protected this scenery. How long has it been since you felt so rewarded after a job like this?
“Brother, you must be tired. Get some rest.”
“hahahaha, I want to swing the sword.”
Zilenai, who was tutoring the children, saw Hyun-joon in the courtyard and approached him. His eyes sparkle with anticipation.
“If it’s okay, how are you?”
“What about the children?”
“Sometimes just looking at it helps a lot.”
“great!”
I didn’t refuse this time. It would be better to have an opponent in order to acquire the skills stolen in the sparring with Anton. When Hyeon-jun readily accepted, Zilenai gathered the children together and told them to keep an eye on them, holding up a wooden sword and shield. Hyeonjun also stood facing him with a wooden sword. It reminds me of fighting with Anton at Bentinga with soldiers stationed there. Of course, I don’t feel as pressured as I did back then.
“May I begin?”
“yes.”
When Hyeon-jun answered, Zilenai rushed at it like a shotgun. Hyeonjun wanted to see how much he could do with only the long sword 1 swordsmanship.
Tadak! right!
At once, the workshop came and went. Zilenai didn’t show superhuman strength because he didn’t use divine power, but the strength and speed of his trained body were ignorant, so he couldn’t get the upper hand at all.
“Hey, I’ve seen it before, but it’s amazing.”
“no. Compared to the priests, it was a lot farther.”

In fact, sparring is established because Zilenai is looking after them. Zilenai greatly surpasses Hyeon-jun not only in strength and speed, but also in swordsmanship. Hyeon-Jun is using his flexible and resilient body to shed strength and react, but Jillenai will be able to create gaps as much as he wants.
“There is something I want to try out, is that okay?”
“of course.”
Hyeonjun took a deep breath at Zilenai’s answer and straightened up. I plan to use the skills I stole from fighting with Anton. Zilenai took a bit of a defensive stance. He was considerate of Hyun-joon. Hyeon-jun’s wooden sword was swung in the middle, but suddenly it was swung aiming at the lower end. Zilenai lowered his shield to block it leisurely and swung his wooden sword. However, Hyeon-jun’s wooden sword didn’t even touch the shield, so he raised his hand and blocked Jilenai’s wooden sword, aiming at his empty chest.
“How is it?”
“Well, that’s not bad. It is good to deceive the opponent in that the trajectory changes twice. But actually, if you do it like this.”
When Zilenai pushed Hyunjun’s wooden sword away and slightly twisted his wrist, Hyunjun’s sword became blocked. On the other hand, Zilenai’s sword is a bit far away, but it looks like it’s aiming at Hyeon-jun’s head, which he couldn’t defend. It’s enough to take a step and stab it.
“Oops, your posture is a bit wrong.”
“yes. But it will get better soon. But it’s sudden. You haven’t seen it in a duel with Idelia before, have you?”
“that is···. While sparring with the knights in Bentinga…”
“Did you steal it?”
“yes.”
Hyeon-joon also gave a small answer to Jillenai’s question in a small whisper.
“It’s not like it’s a big deal. It won’t be much of a problem. You’d better be careful though.”
“All right.”
