uninvited (2)
With Daniel in front of him, who was nervous that his lie would be discovered, the denomination’s meeting continued.
It was because there were still many important agendas left in the denomination.
Typically, the 1st and 2nd Apostles were dispatched to carry out their duties.
It was only at this meeting that Daniel first learned that they had been dispatched, but he kept his mouth shut as if he knew it.
It was because Perrin, who had just joined the meeting this time, was also quietly listening.
From Roan, who was in charge of the meeting, questions about Euthenia came pouring out.
“Apostle. Did you succeed in securing the alchemist you were aiming for?”
“I was successful in bringing it back to life. Judging by the condition, it doesn’t seem like it will last long.”
“It looks like you have succeeded in securing it. Was the life of the alchemist you secured this time in danger?”
“I think it could be dangerous in the worst case. But if the alchemist dies, it won’t cause any major problems.”
The gaze of Yutenia, who was having a conversation, turned to Acrosis, who was on the other side of the conference hall.
Demon King Acrosis.
He was a legendary demon who could command hundreds of thousands of undead.
Yutenia looked at such acrosis and asked.
“Isn’t it possible to resurrect a wizard even if he dies with the power of the Spirit King?”
If the alchemist died, it was the story of Utenia that he wanted to resurrect him as an undead through the power of acrosis.
It was indeed a demonic idea to Daniel.
How could a person have such an idea?
However, for Acrosis who was questioned by Euthenia, that fact didn’t seem to matter.
Acrosis nodded towards Euthenia.
Acrosis raised her bare fingers and spoke while looking at Euthenia.
– “It’s not difficult to make a lich as long as there are minimal shapes left.”
“Even if I become a lich, the alchemist’s memories won’t go away, right?”
– “As long as it’s not seriously damaged, it shouldn’t be a problem.”
“That’s fortunate. Even if an unfortunate situation arises, there is no need to go looking for another target.”
At Acrosis’ answer, Eutenia gave a satisfied face.
As a result, even if the alchemist was to die, a plan was created to bring him back to life through acrosis.
Again, it looked like a denomination that worshiped evil spirits.
Daniel shuddered a little at the sight of the denomination’s terrifying conversation and nodded his head.
The story of the mission of Utenia continued after that.
“As for the Philosopher’s Stone, I plan to proceed when the alchemist comes to his senses.”
“Is that so?”
“And it was Perrin who was responsible for moving from the island to the denomination. It may take a little longer if you need anything.”
“Well sir. I will trust the Apostle for this mission.”
“In the end, everything will go his way.”
The story of Utenia ended with that.
After talking with Roan, Yutenia reached out to her basket and picked up a piece of bread.
Daniel’s gaze also turned to the basket containing the bread.
For some reason, it felt like there was more bread in the basket than the last meeting.
It must have been Daniel’s misunderstanding, though.
Sometimes that’s the case.
When a person is tense, even the surrounding objects appear distorted.
The number of breads Daniel remembered may have also been distorted because he was so nervous the last time.
“Next is… Estasia-sama. I heard you have an important story.”
Roan, who moved on to the next topic, looked at Estasia this time.
Utenia’s next turn was Estasia’s turn, which changed the atmosphere of the conference hall in a strange way.
Estasia looked at the other participants in the meeting with a dark complexion.
Estasia’s expression was unusual no matter who looked at it.
Daniel swallowed the saliva that had accumulated at Estasia’s appearance.
It seemed that she was trying to bring up a serious story.
As if to prove him, Estasia has brought up an important agenda to those around her.
“Another angel came down from heaven.”
“You mean another angel has come down? Was it the work of the Great One?”
“······That’s not right. It looks like it came down from heaven.”
Everyone around Estasia’s story turned into a troubled face.
Daniel, who heard her story, was also in his own troubles.
Estasia in front of her was an evil angel sent down by an evil spirit.
According to Estasia’s words, this time it was a story of a proper angel coming down from the sky.
Thinking that something to come has arrived, Daniel nodded and said yes.
Then Roan spoke to the attendees with a very serious face.
“It seems that one of the six goddesses has sent her family down. At the very least, she intends to send down the foolish, ugly angel she has raised to disturb the earth.”
“Pooh.”
Stupid and ugly angel.
As soon as he heard the story, Daniel felt like he was about to burst into laughter.
It is a combination of three words that do not go together at all.
Hearing bizarre words even in the midst of fear reflexively twisted his lips.
Daniel gave a strong strength to his face at the sudden laugh.
In an instant, his face, which had gained strength not to laugh, turned into a stern expression.
“What’s going on, Daniel?”
“·················ogue.”
“no way······.”
Seeing Daniel like that, Roan narrowed her eyes and looked at him.
After receiving Roan’s gaze, Daniel’s eyes moved swiftly.
If I burst out laughing here, it’s over.
I had to come up with a plausible answer somehow.
Daniel, who was under pressure from those around him, succeeded in pulling the wind out of his lungs by squeezing his neck.
Then, while keeping his dark face, he looked at Roan and returned the excuse he made up in a hurry.
“Just hearing the story makes me feel uncomfortable. There are beings who dare to go against the will of the Great One.”
“It’s really Daniel’s attitude. I thought you would.”
“I’m sorry that I seem to have interrupted the meeting.”
Fortunately, Roan was not suspicious of Daniel.
Rather, he seemed to be impressed by Daniel’s loyalty to the great being.
Whoa.
Daniel sighed inwardly and relaxed his fist under the table.
Daniel is about to be relieved about the crisis that has passed before his eyes.
Roan looked at Daniel again.
“By the way, Daniel.”
“What’s going on?”
“Can I hear where your hiding place is?”
“hideout?”
Hearing Roan’s words, Daniel’s fist gained strength once again.
hideout.
Perhaps it is a story about giving out the location where Daniel himself lives.
I thought that one day, such a story would come out, but I didn’t think it would be now.
Daniel looked at Roan with a nervous face and asked the reason.
Roan smiled brightly and conveyed the intention of the question with a friendly attitude.
“The Great has commanded me to help you. In particular, you need to be clear about where they are hiding.”
The moment he heard the reason from Roan, Daniel realized one important fact.
Now it was the fact that he would not be able to escape from this question no matter what.
A cold sweat began to trickle down Daniel’s back as he looked at the conference hall.
* * * * * *
“haha······.”
On a sunny farm, Daniel awoke from his dream with a heavy breath.
Daniel stood up from the pile of straw and held a slaughter knife in his hand.
Upon waking up, Daniel was startled by the sight of the slaughter knife he found and put down the knife.
Apparently, he was taken to a meeting while preparing to ship the livestock.
Daniel looked around, holding his breath, and looked at the ring on his hand.
The ring he found last time was still attached to his finger.
“ah······.”
Looking at the ring, Daniel quickly thought of something and frowned.
It was because I remembered the conversation I had with Roan at this meeting.
In the meeting room, Roan asked Daniel the address of his hiding place.
The reason was that an oracle had come down from the evil spirit that he had to help him.
It is none other than an oracle from the evil spirit.
There was no way the evil spirit that kept sending the ring back didn’t even know Daniel’s location.
Daniel was forced to tell Roan the truth about the location of the farm.
“It’s a big deal, it’s a big deal.”
Daniel remembered the unpleasant memory and shook his head in sweat.
It was only a matter of time for the members of the Church to come here as long as the address was given.
If that were the case, Daniel himself would have been exposed to the fact that he had no great abilities.
As long as the evil spirit chooses to give him a ring, the denomination will not recklessly try to harm Daniel.
But if it turns out that he’s not a great assassin, how the hell do you have to look at Roan’s face?
Just thinking about it made my heart flutter.
The urge to remove the ring from his hand was so high that he wanted to remove it immediately.
“Is the owner here?”
“···········?”
As Daniel was thinking about the congratulatory speech, he heard a stranger’s voice outside the barn.
The voice that came from outside was that of a thick man.
Daniel was startled by the voice calling him, and looked outside the barn.
At the border of the farm, two people in cloaks were coming in.
Those who entered the farm were wearing swords around their waists.
It didn’t look like a thief, but even so, it was definitely an unusual situation.
“Isn’t the owner here?”
It was impossible to turn away from the voices resounding from outside forever.
Daniel was forced to leave the barn at the constant voice calling him.
Tub. Tub.

Men in cloaks approached Daniel as he left the barn.The tall men stopped in front of Daniel and looked down at him through the hood.
“I am the owner of the farm… who are you?”
“It doesn’t matter, and I want to ask you something for a moment.”
“Yes, yes, ask.”
As Daniel answered, he saw something beyond the fluttering cloak.
Through the cloak covering his body, a familiar pattern of faintly revealed patterns could be seen.
What Daniel discovered was a pattern used by the Temple of Abundance.
Cold sweat dripped down Daniel’s forehead, who found the pattern.
The identities of those who were hiding the patterns of the temple were obvious.
Heresy Inquisitor.
That was the identity of those in front of Daniel right now.
“We’re looking for a suspicious person roaming this area right now.”
“Yes.”
Daniel’s vigilance rose to a peak in an instant.
Heretic inquisitors were those who executed the followers of evil spirits and warlocks.
Besides, Daniel was given a ring from the evil god and was summoned to a meeting.
If found out, the Inquisitor would go straight to executing Daniel.
Daniel continued to answer while keeping an eye on the heretical inquisitor.
In the meantime, the other party looked closely at Daniel’s impressions of clothing.
“Have you not seen a person with a suspicious appearance or behavior recently?”
“Your appearance or behavior… No, I don’t know.”
“You don’t seem to know. Come on, if you’re busy with farm work, maybe that’s it.”
Tub. chin.
Hearing the answer, the heretical inquisitor took a few steps closer to Daniel.
Then he grabbed Daniel’s shoulder with his gloved hand.
The Inquisitor, who was holding Daniel’s shoulder and looking into Daniel’s eyes, asked a different question this time.
It was a question about Daniel himself, not a character whose behavior was suspicious.
“It looks like it’s been quite a while since you ran a farm here, right?”
“Yes, yes, yes…….”
“But why are you sweating so much?”
“Because I’m not feeling well today, I keep sweating…”
“Oh, that’s right. You look unwell. I need to take it easy on the farm.”
In response to the Inquisitor’s question, Daniel used health problems as an excuse.
Daniel is far from the age when his body is full.
Hearing Daniel’s story, the heretical inquisitor looked suspiciously at him, but he reluctantly nodded his head.
It seemed difficult to keep holding on to someone who was not feeling well.
The Inquisitor, who had his hand off his shoulder, stepped back.
Then, stroking his beard, he spoke to Daniel as if warning him.
“We plan to wander around here for a while.”
“It looks like you have something important to do for the time being.”
“That’s right. So, if the owner sees suspicious people… would he know?”
“of course. We will let you know as soon as we find it.”
Daniel nodded his head reflexively at the threatening Inquisitor’s words.
The interrogation of the heretical inquisitors ended with that.
Immediately after they finished talking, they turned and headed towards the border of the farm.
Just as when they came in, the sound of heavy footsteps resounded.
The Inquisitor, who had spoken with Daniel, turned his head just before leaving the farm and added one more word.
“By the way, the ring is really nice. Others will envy you.”
The Heretic Inquisitor left the farm with such a final goodbye.
Until the heretical inquisitor who had visited the farm disappeared from sight, Daniel had to feel the chill that covered his body.
