I Will Smash Everything With My Passive Skills chapter 24

024. Spirit Sword (1)

“Marie?”

“hehehe.”

“What good happened?”

“Yes, it is. A good thing happened.”

“Hmm… ….”

Delia looked at Maria with her suspicious eyes as her friend gave off an unusual aura.

Even though he is far from sincere, he is her friend who is far away. But why does it make me feel like my stomach hurts when I see that bashish smile?

What’s more, the strangely sweet scent emanates from it, probably unlike the usual Maria, as if she was wearing perfume today.

That’s why Delia couldn’t help but look like this.

I know that I am a Sukmaek who only pretends to be interested in men, but in reality cannot say a word to a man. What does that smiley face and perfume mean?

“Marie, have you found a guy you’re interested in?”

“Pooh Whoop! Go, what are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Looking at that, I can’t help but doubt it.”

Maria spews fountains out of her mouth. Who can doubt this?

Perhaps the hero of the past, who threw out the adage not to doubt her colleagues, would forgive her sins if she saw her now.

“It’s not like I got a man! There’s just someone you’re interested in, and that person happens to be a man! This needs to be made clear! Or Delia could be mistaken for her!”

Delia let out a small sigh at Maria’s excessively flustered answer.

As expected, this is a girl with infinitely little immunity.

What about that topic? You think men from the Vera Empire are better than men from the Kingdom of Gaul?

Pretending to be an experienced man in the classroom in the past was nothing more than a bluff that didn’t work. In Delia’s eyes, her friend was an outsider in that area.

“In fact, there are many types of interests. If a master cares for and loves his pupils and judges them coldly, wouldn’t that be a kind of interest? So, the interest Delia was talking about is a very comprehensive concept, so you won’t easily know what kind of mind I had. I am a person who is good at controlling my mind.”

‘Isn’t that the guy?’

Hearing Maria’s rapid-fire words, Delia remembered a person.

She is in fact Maria, who showed a great interest in him from the beginning. On top of that, she was a benefactor who even saved her life, so she couldn’t have any reason for Maria to hate him.

‘Hmm.’

Delia looked at her friend with narrow eyes. Somehow, I feel like I can smell it.

As soon as she swung her sword, a blade of formidable cutting power jumped out of her sword full of mana.

They aim for targets made of cast iron.

─Ka Gang!

It was a neat attack without any superfluities, but Arwen, the master of the sword, let out a small sigh.

Almost ten years have passed since she held her sword.

The path of the sword desperately clung to just wanting to be next to Veris. However, as time passed, Arwen hesitated and despaired.

“Not enough.”

Berrys said that her talent is very special and that she is like gold that no one can beat.

But if that’s the case, why is his skill compared to him boasting such a disastrous level?

To her, Veris was like the sun floating in the sky. Is it arrogance to dream of the sun? Arwen couldn’t let go of his sword as thoughts like that came to mind dozens of times a day recently.

Thanks to her previous consultation with Veris, she seemed to have improved a little, but in the end, her unchanging reality drove her terribly.

The people he pursues are strong.

On top of that, he always possesses a strange magical power that attracts people around him, so if one day you become useless, just standing by his side could be a nuisance.

Of course, even if that were the case, there was virtually no way Veris would abandon her. He was one of the most caring people he knew.

How long must he have been swinging his sword, ignoring the thoughts boiling in his heart?

It wasn’t long before Arwen noticed that she had an unexpected guest.

The place where Arwen is currently training is the S class training ground. That’s why, thanks to each individual’s individual training space, she would have no reason to visit unless she had something to do with her…….

“Arwen.”

“Cecilia? Are you looking for me?”

“Yes. I didn’t see Arwen at her mansion, so I went to see her, and she was here too.”

After saying that, Cecilia jumped up and sat down on a table in the corner of the training room.

It is the time when the red sunset hangs in the sky. In the camp with high outer walls like a castle, the broken sunlight illuminates Cecilia and her surroundings, so it really suits her nickname of the Saint of Charity.

The exact reason why Cecilia came to him was unknown, but Arwen did not stop swinging her sword.

What she aims for is so lofty that she didn’t want to waste even a minute or a second of her training time. However, Arwen had no choice but to stop her sword at Cecilia’s unexpected voice.

“Arwen must be crazy because he likes Veris, right?”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Me too. In a way, we are allies.”

Cecilia stuck her tongue out with an inappropriately mischievous smile.

She was Cecilia who just told the reality without thinking, but the weight of her words was never ordinary.

“Joe, you go crazy because you like it. What a frivolous expression.”

“hehehehe, but you got it right, right?”

“… ….”

At Cecilia’s bold spit, Arwen shut her mouth.

Anyway, no matter what Arwen makes an excuse here, there is a high possibility that the saintess won’t get it. Therefore, it is assumed that she would rather not speak of words that cause damage rather than loss.

Cecilia smiled brightly at Arwen’s appearance and patted her leg without saying anything for a long time.

Cecilia, who was sitting at her table, had a benevolent smile spread across her face as usual, but Arwen, who was looking at her blankly, said that her smile was very different from what she had before. Could find out

“…… Are you worried?”

“Oops. Did you catch it?”

“You can see the depth on her face.”

“Really, do friends who live together show signs of it? Really! It’s a secret from the other students. The church knows that I live with Arwen.”

After saying that, Cecilia slowly raised her head and looked at the sky.

It is the light of the setting sun that is dazzling enough to make you squint your eyes involuntarily.

The guy who has a knack for making people strangely emotional and depressing doesn’t know if he knows their feelings or not, he silently emits red light.

“Perhaps an investigation team from the Holy Kingdom will come here soon.”

“You mean the Holy Kingdom?”

“The Heretic Inquisitor, who came by order of the Pope, will surely lead them.”

“… ….”

Arwen does not even know what the saintess wants to say.

Investigation, Holy Kingdom, Pope, Inquisitor.

All of these words are far from Arwen. However, it is not difficult to know that Cecilia’s gloomy smile carries a weight that is not light.

“Are they up to something?”

“I know one thing. Clearly, the Holy Father wants to make a ‘culprit’ for this.”

“That means… ….”

“Perhaps they will consider Berrys-sama as the prime suspect.”

“This is nonsense!”

“I know. Arwen doesn’t know, but there was an incident in the past when a group of paladin investigators were destroyed by a demon follower who haunted the vicinity of the Wittelsbach estate.”

“No way?”

“And at that time, I was the one who saved my life by luck. Perhaps the Holy See thought that it had found a connection between that incident and this barrier incident.”

Hearing Cecilia’s sorrowful voice, Arwen felt her heart tighten.

Why did the saintess inform herself of this fact?

If she fundamentally wants to work this out, wouldn’t it be right for her to bring this out directly to Veris rather than to herself?

Did Cecilia anticipate Arwen’s thoughts?

Cecilia calmly recited the answer to Arwen’s question.

“Perhaps the Berrys-sama I know will diligently participate in the investigation. But the problem is that things can go on without clearly confirming any facts.”

“What about work? What are you talking about?”

“The right of summary judgment possessed by the Heretic Inquisitor.”

At Cecilia’s low words, like a declaration, Arwen doubted her ears.

A summary judgment right?

It wasn’t easy to understand the meaning, but at first glance, it sounds like a heretic or a person suspected of being a heretic can be executed without proper grounds and procedures.

“The evidence of that savagery, the relics of the old times, still exist.”

“You mean they might try to deal with Verice for that cause?”

“According to the news from the Holy Land.”

Arwen shook her body.

Aren’t they the ones who really went out of their mind?

Verys was the one who killed that group of demon followers, but even though he couldn’t reward him, he was accused of being a heretic and summarily executed?

This wasn’t faith or anything, it was politics.

Yes. The top leaders of the Holy Land, including the Pope, are trying to sacrifice Veris for political purposes to calm the chaos that has engulfed the Empire and the Holy Land.

“When that time comes, I will need Arwen’s strength.”

It was only then that Arwen seemed to know why Cecilia had appeared with such a heavy aura.

This girl is trying to save Veris as Cecilia, not as a saint.

“A saint is…… It’s just a means to gain the respect of the people, and it’s just a tool in the Holy Kingdom.”

Cecilia’s sorrowful smile filled with great sadness. Feeling that something was getting out of her way, Arwen took a deep breath.
