123 – Trap (2)
Leonhardt, the leader of the knights, could not help but be inwardly astonished at the situation that occurred before his eyes.
I never dreamed that Elric would transform into a paladin.
“Why are you hitting me so stupidly, you bastards? Quickly guide me to where the saint is!”
At those words, Leon lowered his head.
The Pope is being held hostage.
However, in fact, from his perspective, it does not matter whether the apostate Pope dies or not.
It would be better to follow his orders than that.
“Can I guide you to where the saint is?”
“Uh. Right Now. Otherwise, this bastard will die.”
“I understand. “I’ll guide you right away.”
With those words, Leon took Elric and walked toward the saint’s room.

Following Leon’s guidance, I headed towards where Senna was.
Soon, I felt a sense of discomfort as I watched his reaction.
‘What? Why are you complying so obediently?’
It is none other than the Pope.
If the man in front of me was as expected, he would have taken the Pope’s side.
No. He would have been at least embarrassed.
However, the response seems to be that it does not matter whether the Pope dies or not.
Much less.
‘He’s even listening to me.’
What on earth is this guy’s purpose?
Is this Pope a fake?
I thought he was disguised like me, so I tried to stab him with a bamboo spear.
“Hmm…”
The transformation did not go as expected.
In other words, the man currently held hostage is the Pope.
‘I don’t know what your intention is, but all you have to do is rescue Senna.’
Thinking like that, let’s take a step forward.
“It’s over here.”
Soon we arrived at our destination.
I frowned as I looked at the destination in front of me.
He would be like that too.
“Is it really in here?”
“Yes.”
“·······.”
The place she was trapped in was none other than a luxurious room.
The place where the saint who tried to kill her was imprisoned was in a luxurious room.
At this point, it’s not unreasonable to think that this might be a real trap.
‘If you just look at the facial expression, I don’t think it’s a lie.’
No. Before that, didn’t Leonhard have a good personality even in the original work?
If, contrary to my expectations, he had not changed due to the butterfly effect, that would be true.
‘Tsk.’
First, we have to kill the Pope first.
Even if not, just beat up the knight commander and take him hostage.
Without hesitation, I stabbed the bamboo spear into the Pope’s heart.
-Phew!
Then, a bamboo spear burrowed into his heart.
The Pope died without even being able to properly resist.
Originally, the leader of the Holy Knights would have to move immediately.
However.
“······.”
“······.”
Sure enough, there was no response.
No. Rather, it is a face that seems to be refreshed.
I opened the door, feeling uncomfortable.
-Kkiik!
The next moment, Sena was seen sleeping soundly in bed.
I approached her without any hesitation.
She checked her body to see if anything, but luckily she wasn’t hurt anywhere.
‘Hmm. But this is so fine?’
The time when I had such doubts.
“Have a good time.”
Suddenly, Leon bows his head respectfully from behind.
What? No. What are you talking about suddenly?
Just when I turned my head back and was about to ask a question.
“I was waiting. Professor.”
Sena’s voice came from my ear.
I opened my eyes without realizing it at the sound of her very normal voice.
“Huh?”
“Now it’s just the two of us?”
The moment I saw her smile, I realized.
She had been playing in Sena’s palm all this time.
***
A few hours ago.
When Sena arrived at the altar, she immediately realized that something unusual had happened.
Isn’t the atmosphere of the security cold?
Sena was on guard and entered the altar with Ran.
At the same time.
-Slap!
As if she had been waiting for this moment, her Pope brings her paladins and points her sword at her.
“How did this happen? “The Pope?”
“Candidate for sainthood. The sun god prophesied. “It is none other than you who will bring about disaster on the altar.”
“The sun god predicted that?”
“Okay. Yes.”
The Pope nodded his head without the slightest hesitation in response to her question.
There is no evidence for that statement.
However, there is no one who can refute it.
No matter how much of a candidate he is for sainthood, isn’t the Pope superior in authority at the altar?
However, that only applies when you are a candidate for sainthood.
-Whaaah!
The next moment, a dazzling divinity emanated from her body.
A completely different divinity than before.
It is a divinity so brilliant that it leaves those who see it spellbound.
The moment they saw that, the Paladin and Leonhard realized at once.
The woman in front of her is no longer a candidate for sainthood.
That level of divinity makes no sense unless you are a saint.
“Kwaaa!”
At that time, the Pope cried out at the divinity of Sena.
The Holy Knights are startled by his sudden scream.
After all, the only beings who would cry out after being hit by her divinity are those with demonic energy.
“Ugh!”
I could see demonic energy stirring in his body.
The Holy Knights who saw that looked in disbelief.
It is none other than the Pope.
He is called the pinnacle of the altar and is one of those known to be able to hear the voice of God.
The demonic energy is stirring in his body.
“Whoa. “I didn’t know that the Pope was an apostate.”
Seeing the Pope like that, Sena frowns.
At those words, Leon and his guards opened their mouths.
“Commander of the Holy Knights.”
“Yes! “Saint!”
“Take down that traitor right now.”
“Yes… I understand.”
Since the Pope is an apostate, it is natural for him to listen to the words of the saint.
“Wait a minute! “I am a teacher…”
Even before he finished speaking, Leon overpowered the Pope.
***
After hearing Sena’s explanation, I couldn’t help but be surprised.
Until a month ago, wasn’t she able to awaken as a saint?
Never in her wildest dreams did she know that she would have awakened without me knowing.
“No. “When did you awaken?”
“Well, it hasn’t been that long. Actually, I was planning to surprise you with my performance on the battlefield…”
No. Why are you making that a surprise?
I was embarrassed and narrowed my eyes.
“Okay. Well, even if it’s resolved, why haven’t I been contacted? Looking at it, it doesn’t seem like I didn’t receive it at all. And where is Ran?”
“hehehe. Well, Ran is busy eating the snacks on the altar right now.”
“······.”
She was speechless at her answer.
Rin was worried that Ran might have been seriously hurt, but the reality was that she was just eating snacks.
I guarantee that if Rin finds out, she will be angry.
“Okay. Then why did Ran reject Rin’s transfer?”
“Oh, that’s what I bought as a snack.”
“·····.”
In fact, isn’t the woman in front of her a saint and a witch?
What kind of saint would think like that, bribing a child with snacks?
“Okay. “I understand the rest now, but why haven’t I heard from you?”
“Oh, actually, I was originally going to contact you right away.”
“I did it?”
“Now that I think about it, I haven’t been alone with the professor recently. Of course, it could be because we were busy during the war, but if you think about it, wasn’t Professor Eve alone with you during the war?”
I couldn’t deny that statement.
As she said, we were alone.
“So. I used this. “I knew that if I didn’t contact them, the professor would come here.”
I feel like I’ve been hit in the head.
The security was somehow lax, so Sena was deliberately induced to come.
“Anyway, I’ll end this story here.”
At that time, Sena attacked me.

At the same time, she naturally rose above me.
Soon, Sena raises the corner of her mouth.
“You’ve been having a lot of fun with other women lately. Professor.”
“Uh, um…”
“Now I want you to enjoy it with me too.”
With those words at the end, she attacked me.
***
The next day.
A day has passed since Elric went to the altar.
Even though a day has passed, she has not heard from him.
What’s more, they don’t even contact me to find out what’s going on.
The reason he hasn’t been contacted until now is mostly because unexpected variables occurred.
In other words, it is clear that something unusual has happened at the altar.
“I can’t do that. “I need to go right away.”
Yandere, Margaret, and Elsie nod their heads in agreement at Jane’s words.
Like that, they boarded the gate and arrived at the royal capital.
Soon, let’s attack the altar.
“Maybe something happened…”
Security stops.
The Yanderes glared at the Holy Knight who was blocking them.
The princess introduces herself.
“I am the princess. “She came because she had something to talk with Sena.”
“Ah…”
When the guard saw the imperial family token held out by the princess, she immediately lowered her head with an understanding look on her face.
Soon, I let them in.
The Paladins and Priests looked at me with puzzled eyes, but there was no time to worry about that.
I think something happened to Elric now.
Then after a while.
“I think it’s this way. “I can sense Professor Elric’s presence.”
Soon we arrived at where Elric was.
Elric in a room that looks more luxurious than expected.
I wonder what the heck is going on and why he hasn’t contacted me?
The princess opened the door with all her might.
Then.
“Huh! Professor!”
“Ugh!”
The sight of Senna and Elric intertwined with each other was reflected in the field of view.
When they saw that, they smiled the scariest smile in the world.
“Huh?”
At that moment, Elric finally made eye contact with them.
Soon, he thought, breaking into a cold sweat.
It’s clear that it’s messed up.
