NOVEL WEB c61
Now that the necessary preparations are done, let's head back to the Dickamans' house to meet up with the others.
I would like to return to the mansion to tell Bosco and the others about the current situation, but since it is unclear when the church will move, I cannot stay too far away from Maria.
I am in an favorable situation because I know the movements of all the people in the city thanks to my magical tools.
However, it continues to expend my magical power to keep track of the city, and even if I could suppress the consumption of magical power by eliminating details, it would still be difficult to keep track of the city all night long.
And I don't know when the disadvantages of magical tools will be triggered; it's dangerous to keep relying on them.
"I'm going out for a bit, make sure no one else enters."
"Yes, master!"
I call out to the guard in front of the house and leave the house.
The guards are there to tell the church that Maria is in the house, just as the scarecrows are there to tell the church that the crops are there.
The part of guarding the door is important, and it is not a countermeasure against assassins who can enter through the windows.
It is doubtful that it is even meant to be a security measure in the first place.
"Something's not right ......."
Feeling a little guilty, I headed for the Dicaman house, a group of magical medicine men who had been dispatched to the city.
'You see that fire burning that city?"
"" ""Sir! Yessir!"""
"Your job is to put that out!
You pigs, who take pleasure from punishment, will have no trouble staying awake all night digesting it!
Grab a bucket and run!"
"" "" ''Sigh! Yes sir!"""
...... That's him.
For some reason, Noor is addressing a group of low-ranked adventurers.
It is Noor who organizes those who are sent from the Dicaman family.
When I learned of this, I was furious at him for letting them get publicity, but then I thought about it and realized that the church in this town was going to be destroyed.
Even if the relationship between the Dicaman family and the church deteriorates when it is revealed, the king and prime minister also said that the church is an obstacle and that they would smash it if they had the chance, and the country will later be hostile to the church.
It is not even a problem if the timing of the Dicaman family entering into conflict with the church is a little early.
Besides, I had taken a countermeasure.
Noor's face had been changed by Naamis's magic to the point of being a different person, and even I would have had to hear his voice to recognize him as Noor.
Can I have a moment?"
"What a pig...no, Khalil-sama, what's wrong?"
I thought she had improved after being scolded by Naamis for her queenliness, but it seems that her queenliness has worsened to the point that she called me a pig just for a moment.
It might be better to return the pig knight to the mansion and concentrate the damage on that one person.
"Is there any problem with the current situation?
The wounded who are not healed by the magic potion we provided, the supplies we need, I'm going to be a little busy, so I thought I'd take care of it while I still can."
"Yes. ......
Nothing in particular, but if I had to say, the guys from the church are getting in the way."
"Oh, I see."
The church members are also helping, but without money, they are only giving first aid to the wounded and are getting in the way.
"The guild leader and I told them to put out the fire and not to worry about the wounded, but they didn't understand and for some reason stayed at the first aid center.
They are really in the way."
"I see."
A few sisters are giving proper treatment and seem to be using recovery magic without telling those who are injured urgently, but the trust in the church from the townspeople has fallen to the ground.
Now, not a single person is willing to pay to receive treatment.
With your permission, I will turn the Church's men into obedient pigs.
"If you do that, I will cut you and your kids off."
"I'm sorry. ......"
What can I say? It's unstable.
It was a mystery to me why Naamis went to the trouble of changing Noor's face and sending her to this city, but perhaps she wanted to change the fact that Noor, who had become so secure in her current situation protected by the Dicaman family, was now letting her guard down.
When a person is in a certain position of power, there is a possibility that they will commit foolish acts that they would never do under normal circumstances.
This is especially true for those who have let their guard down.
The reason Noor came to town late is that she didn't know I was in town, so she acted on the assumption that Naamis would know where I was and cover for any mistakes she might have made.
"Sorry, I'm sorry ......"
I guess Naamis wants to make sure that Noor doesn't go down the path of her own destruction like a duke's daughter from somewhere else.
When I told her I was going to cut her off, I put pressure on her.
The pressure seemed to be enough to tell Noor that if she messes with the church, she will be seriously cut off, and she returned from her queenly state to plain Noor.
Although there is a high possibility that she will do something like this again, Noor basically never leaves the house due to Naamis' strict upbringing.
This time, she only needs to be given the experience of being scolded by me, a protector but still a stranger, and not by his family, Naamis.
I don't care about the outcome, but the process will help her grow.
'It is enough if you understand.
I want you to stop crying because you're being stared at by everyone around you."
It hurts the eyes of the pigs around me, 'What kind of a douche you are to make the queen cry,' I hear them say, and if I don't do anything, they may gather around me.
'I'm at the Adventurers Guild, if you have any problems, let me know right away.'
I told Noor quickly and left the place as if running away from the pigs.
