I stood there in silence and the people of the city, all of whom I could see were listening to me and worried with all their might, but none of them would walk away from this place.
After this, I will stay here and wait until the church officials are brought in, inciting anger and executions ......
It didn't take longer than expected, as no problems occurred, and it will take a little longer for them to arrive.
"......"
I looked sideways at Maria to be sure, and she was looking at the people with cold, streaming eyes. I think she read my mind, and I felt as if her eyes were telling me, 'People are trash."
'......, there you are.'"
A part of the square that had been quiet becomes noisy.
The light armor of the guards scraped and clattered, and the people, noticing the arrival of the criminals, spat out angry words.
"Guilty."
My voice, made louder by my magic, reached everyone in the square without being drowned out by the noise of the people.
"They committed a fraud in the city of the estate of my family Dicaman, and when their deeds were about to be exposed by Maria Dicaman, they set fire to it and tried to destroy the evidence."
The fraud was an attempt to cheat Maria out of her support money,
"Fraud?" ......
"That useless, expensive healing spell was a scam?"
People who think the Church is evil will interpret this in a convenient way. And by the way, let's not forget to mention Maria's name and make the Dicaman family look good.
One by one, they are bound to the stake.
"They prey on people with their deeds of fraud, and their actions of arson for fear of being punished are despicable, and they act with no regard for the people who live in this city.
Therefore, we will now execute those who gave the order."
""Oh, oh, oh!""
Although the people are shouting in anger as they please at those who are being detained, not a single person is willing to throw a stone at them.
"It seems that everything is ready, so I will announce the method of execution."
"Oh, ......?!"
I saw the guards nearby start to panic for some reason, and I remembered that in a typical execution, preparations such as a guillotine were necessary.
This time I won't use it and there is no problem, but if it takes a little longer to execute someone in the current state of the place, it could cause a riot.
I should have explained this to the guards, I feel sorry for them because their dismay is unusual.
"I'll leave the execution to you all."
""Huh?""
I can see that people's feelings have united as one.
"I don't care if you hit them with your own fists, slash them with a rusty sword, throw eggs at them, drag them on a horse, whatever.
The deadline is until the sun rises, and when the sun rises I will execute them."
I can see all eyes on me, but I get down from the crate and start walking with Maria.
'Ah, yes.
Just be careful not to make the city too polluted, it'll add a little more time to the reconstruction."
With that last remark, we exit the plaza.
"Are you sure you don't need to stay in the square?"
"No, it shouldn't be a problem."
The square is a place of execution, and it will explode at the drop of a hat.
"Give me back my family!"
A man's voice and a dull gurgling sound came from the square.
The sound echoed through the square, where not a single sound could be heard, and one by one people began to shout and throw things at them.
"Shut up, ......!"
"Go home or hold your ears."
I left the square with Maria on my back, and as time went by, the shouts grew louder.

"Ah, my God, what a thing ......"
This is the closest building to God in Sacred religion, the only cathedral that can deliver the message of God.
Many believers, led by the Pope, were praying a prayer of thanksgiving for having made it through the day.
"Pope?"
"The archbishop who had been sent to the Dicamanian territory lost his life: ......"
"What a ......!"
The Pope is bound by holy power to the archbishops, who have great faith in God, despite some differences.
Such a connection that he can detect the anomaly of death and even physical illness.
"Everyone should continue to pray."
The Pope stands up, puts his hand on the shoulders of a few religious executives, and steps out of the prayer room.
Needless to say, I am one of them. I am not proud of it, but my faith is higher than anyone else's, and I am proud to say that no one else is better than me in supporting the Pope.
"I'm glad you came."
We, the Pope and seven executives, arrived at the Pope's office and sat down after confirming that the Pope had signaled for a seat.
Normally, it would be impossible for us to sit in the same room with the Pope, but the gentle Pope sat us down in his chair so that we could concentrate on his words.
'I am sorry to inform you that Archbishop Edran, who was working in the territory of Dicaman, has died.
The cause is unknown, but it was probably a violent act committed by a nobleman."
Edoran of the God's Power Faction, a brainy faction that had succeeded in imbuing tools with God's power through research, was a weak faction that could not grow in power because it was said that it was impious to use God's power by believers who misunderstood them in the past.
They were our comrades.
"It's a shame that Edran, who was recognized enough to possess the power of God, has passed away. ......
We will have a big funeral later, but for now let us pray alone."
Dicaman territory, a land ruled by a fool who has no respect for God even though he uses one of God's abilities without permission.
Edrun was in charge of punishing the fools, and the fact that Edrun is dead means that he must have been defeated by Dicaman.
"Our prayers would have brought him back to God."
The Pope's eyes were filled with an emotion that bordered on anger as he spoke.
"We will shoot our enemies."
Yes, of course, Pope, we are God's chosen ones, and we will avenge our comrades. ......
