014. Uninvited Guest (2)
“How is the barrier going?”
“It is progressing without a hitch. I can’t mess with my work under the shadow of the elders.”
“…… Don’t forget that our interests are only temporary, but our roots are different. I have no interest in the church at all.”
“Is it possible or not?”
In the bright sunlight of Theon’s professor’s office, secret conversations were exchanged.
The one talking to Theon was a middle-aged man with burning red hair.
“Have you secured the goods yet?”
“It is…… You’re having more trouble than you think. Since this is a job without the church’s support, it’s not easy to find another suitable person.”
At the answer of the very firm partner, the middle-aged man glared at him without saying a word. Cool gaze. Theon, who received a gaze similar to that of a predator facing its prey, couldn’t help but shudder as he was given a position as a professor.
‘Crazy man. It’s not called the Sword Demon for nothing.’
The person in front of him was no ordinary swordsman. Looking at the color of his hair that seemed to be covered in red blood and the two swords tied around his waist, it would be easy to guess his identity.
“Isn’t the fact that the princess hid under the surface of the water that internal information was leaked?”
“…… I can’t guess why Princess Maria disappeared, but it’s highly unlikely that information from the church was leaked.”
“I’ll trust you just this once. It will be good for you to keep things going smoothly.”
─ Boom!
As the man left the room with a low reply, Theon sat down in his chair as if all his strength was gone.
It is difficult to tell whether it was the right decision to work with that crazy dog that is difficult to control.
How surprised he was when the world’s ‘sword demon’ entered the academy and asked to be with him. After the work was over, he felt like he couldn’t even figure out how to deal with it again.
“It looks like he is already riding on the back of a tiger.”
The existence of the Sword Demon, who completely subordinated himself, was very embarrassing, but there was no turning back.
Theon smiled wickedly at the reminder of that fact.

The popularity of cafes in the academy was truly amazing.
It is only natural that the exotic tea and sweets boast a unique flavor that would make young students’ mouths watery, and that the sophisticated atmosphere unique to the cafe is particularly popular with female students.
Cecilia, who held a tea party with students from the Holy Land at such a cafe, heard surprising news.
“…… Is that, really?”
“Yes! It’s true. If it hadn’t been for that Berry’s, I really would have lost her life.”
Cecilia looked at her as if surprised by the story of her experiences with one of her trainee priests who had entered the school together.
Oh my God, the dungeon’s trap has been activated, but to enter it. That alone is surprising, and even a group of freshmen got out of there without anyone dying!
It’s probably an adventure they wouldn’t have taken if they had even the slightest understanding of dungeons, but at the time, I wonder if their reason was paralyzed.
But in fact, what really surprised Cecilia wasn’t the incident she had suffered during her novice priest’s entrance exam. The name of the freshman who saved them was what made Cecilia so surprised.
From noble mtl dot com
‘Mr. Berris… ….’
Her past When she got her help, she seemed to be of a similar age to Veris, so she was the one she thought she might meet later in her academy if she was lucky.
But you’re in the same grade? What does this mean for Cecilia, who has been thinking of herself for years and has not shied away from the painful path of becoming a saint?
“Sister.”
“Yes, saintess?”
“Do you believe in destiny, sister?”
“Fate? Hmm…… I believe. I think it is all destiny that I walk the path of a priest.”
“Me too.”
Cecilia clenched her dainty fist at her cool priest’s reply.
Actually, she thought so too. She just wanted to hear about ‘destiny’ from someone else’s mouth.
Fate, destiny.
It was a very nice sound to hear. Perhaps it was her god’s will that led her to her path of light, and that she faced him on that path?
It was Cecilia who felt that way.
“Do you know where the person who helped her sister belongs?”
“Maybe…… I think she heard that she was admitted to Class B.”
“Huh? Are you class B?”
“Yes. At first glance, there was a story from her team member who took the entrance exam with her that she might have been caught up in a political fight. But he must have saved us all…… A saint?”
Softly.
Who? Dare? To him?
Did they say that when you get really angry, your vision narrows and your heart beats fast? Cecilia, who was in such a state right now, felt like she wanted to leave her seat and run to her dean’s office.
However, she is a priest from a holy country and a saintess who has been given the mission of spreading God’s will throughout the continent, so she can’t do that.
“Aww… ….”
“…… A saint?”
In my heart, it feels like good Cecilia and bad Cecilia are having a heated discussion.
Her good Cecilia was blocking her, saying that her lover might be a burden to her, but her bad Cecilia, on the contrary, persuaded her that it was not okay to at least look at her face. Was doing
“Yes, yes! That’s right. Is it okay to look at her face?”
“Yes? Now? Who?”
“Ha ha ha ha ha. Who are you? Shouldn’t I personally say hello to the benefactor who saved Lily’s precious life?”
“I don’t think it would be okay without the saintess stepping out… ….”
“No? I have to go. Only then will the truth be conveyed.”
At times like this, the clothes of a saintess felt cumbersome. If she was just an ordinary academy student, she would have run to him right away without having to worry about anything like this….
Ah, of course, that didn’t mean Cecilia stopped her behavior now. She meets him With just that one thought, Saint Cecilia began to move.

“The spirit sword, a weapon used by the legendary elves in the legend you mentioned, is a weapon style that did not exist in the mythical age, and appears at least in the ancient or sorcerous age, and is thoroughly fictional…….”
“I got it. Okay, so please stop.”
“…… ?”
As usual, Arwen, who was moving to the restaurant against the background of Veris and Gunther’s silly conversation, knew that an unexpected person was in front of him.
Saint Cecilia.
She passed her entrance exam with Arwen, and since then, she is a woman with a beautiful heart who can be called her ‘friend’.
She appeared out of nowhere and blocked their way.
“Whoa, whoa… ….”
Her breathing is strangely rough, and sweat is glistening on her pure white forehead. In addition, the red blush blooming on her cheeks made it look like she was running really hard no matter who saw it, but soon she greeted with her unique bright smile.
“Long time no see, Arwen.”
“Didn’t we have lunch together?”
“…… Is that so? It’s still time!”
It’s not the usual benevolent and relaxed look, it’s something nervous and urgent. Arwen couldn’t help but look at Cecilia with strange eyes.
It may sound obvious, but beside Arwen are Veris and Gunther. Gunther was opening her mouth as if surprised by the sudden appearance of the saintess.
But you could clearly see them, but Cecilia was staring at Arwen with a stiff posture like a wooden doll. Like a child who can’t meet her eyes because she’s too shy to face a stranger she’s meeting for the first time.
Soon, a thought ran through Arwen’s head.
Clearly, Cecilia had told Arwen that at the time of her entrance examination, when she first met her, she had someone like him.
And that person was her benefactor who saved her, and she promised to meet her again later, she said.
At this point, can she not know the puzzle that fits in her head unless she’s as insensitive as Berris or Gunther?
“No way… ….”
No, with her wish, Arwen slowly turned her head to look at Veris. Unlike Gunther, who was surprised by the sudden appearance of the saintess, Veris maintained her usual poker face.
Flinch.
The only thing that bothers Arwen is the presence of Cecilia, who reacts greatly to her when she turns her head to look at Verice.
The situation is so obvious, how can I ignore it?
Arwen, who had approached Cecilia quietly, posed her question to her by hinting at her.
“Is that the light you have longed for?”
“Yes…… Anyway, being with Arwen…….”
“Your expectations are correct. …… What a joke of fate.”
After hearing Arwen’s words, Cecilia bowed her head as if she was lost in thought.
‘Fate.’
Unlike Gunther, who still looked dumbfounded whether Cecilia did it or not, Veris was squeezing her head as if something was about to come to mind.
Sure.
Soon, Cecilia raised her head, and the relaxed look from a moment ago was gone. The bright smile that was now in full bloom on her face was so bright as to express her mood.
And.
Wow!
“What are you doing?”
“Tongue, brother, another woman…… Also, the saintess…… ? Damn, where is my sister and what is she doing!”
Arwen and her Gunther screamed in surprise at Cecilia’s action of running to Dodo and being embraced by Veris.
Pair!
But unlike those two, Veris seemed to have an idea in her mind, and she was clapping her own hands.
Arwen and Gunther looked at Cecilia in Verice’s arms with empty faces, but the lines that flowed from Verice’s mouth were so peaceful.
“I remembered. Cecilia, a crybaby apprentice priest. Is it you?”
Nodding.
“Float, fall!”
Arwen shouted at Cecilia, who buried her face in Veris’ chest. However, in this situation, Cecilia could not hear Arwen’s cry.
For some reason, Arwen felt that things had gone awry. It’s also very tight.
