Genjin: I don't want to fall in love with Yae Gongji

Chapter 361 Setale’s Self-Redemption
"I'm just one of the designers of the [Dream Mass Production] phase...that's what happened during the Flower Goddess's birthday festival."

"And I don't know the full picture of [the project]. I think only very core personnel have access to those [confidential documents]..."

"I'm just completing the work at hand according to the Great Sage's instructions."

"However... there is one thing that I am more concerned about. I heard that a scholar who was exiled by the Holy Order has returned, and the sages seem to be afraid of him..."

After hearing this, Ying was also thinking about what kind of exile it was that made the sages feel afraid.

"In order to fight against the Order, we need to know exactly what they are doing. Is there any way to get the [confidential documents] you mentioned?"

"If you take some risks, you should have a chance. After all, I am the assistant of the Great Sage. In addition to the current projects, I am often in charge of things."

"It's just that after I get the confidential documents, I can't use the void to transmit them to you. The sages have been keeping a high degree of surveillance inside the void."

Having said this, Setare suggested the most primitive method.

"Well, let's just use the most primitive method. You can send someone to pick it up at the gate of the Order House tomorrow night."

"The entrance to the Teaching Order...isn't it a little too public?"

Setare explained why.

"Don't worry, if worrying is a trap, then worry too much."

"This plan is just because if I sneak out again, I will be more susceptible to suspicion. It should be the lowest risk to lure the guards away in a short time and complete the delivery."

"okay, I trust you."

"Speaking of which...if I complete this matter, can it be considered as my [atonement]?" Setale asked.

"This... depends on what the grass god thinks."

"The Grass God...yes, most of the people who are in danger this time are the Grass God's people, and as the God of Wisdom, the one who judges and guides the scholars...is also the Grass God."

"...Maybe it's time for me to believe in a god."

After saying these words, Setare turned and left.

……

When Paimon saw this scene, he whispered, "As Nasida expected, Setale was persuaded by us..."

"The traveler's [offensive] is very clever, and he is the one who deserves the most credit."

"Since the time has been set for tomorrow night, all we can do now is pray that Setare can successfully complete this matter."

"Pray? If you pray to the gods, aren't you the god of wisdom who protects the scholars?" Paimon asked.

"Me? No, no, I always thought that the Protector Scholar should be [Truth]. Okay, let's meet at the Adventurers Association tomorrow night."

Then the three of them separated here and went back to rest.

……

Nacida contacts Alice again in her dream.

"Miss Alice, what have you been doing lately?"

Regarding this question, Alice thought for a while before giving the answer.

"Your Majesty the Emperor has been waiting for the most suitable opportunity, that is, the moment when the god-making plan ends. But recently, I have also felt that Kavanyi seems to have been maintaining a delicate balance, and it seems that it is also waiting for that moment. The moment comes.”

Hearing these words, Nasida could guess that it was very likely that the commander of Kavanyi and the Red King's army had been replaced, and it was very likely that he was one of the Star God Envoys.

"Is it possible that your people are directing this situation?"

"The situation you mentioned is possible. I recently heard from [Lover] that [Judgment] seems to have joined the Red King's army."

"If he is really commanding, it is very possible to maintain that situation." After hearing this, Nasida has already understood, which means that they are waiting for the end of the god-making plan and the final decisive battle. Determine Sumeru's future.

"Okay, I've learned about the situation from you, let's contact here first today."

But now that the conversation is over, Alice didn't say anything about what she was worried about, which was about going to the gate of the Holy Order to attend the appointment tomorrow night, and it might be very likely that she would meet the second chief executive officer of the Fools there. PhD】.

……

Around seven o'clock in the evening the next day, Paimon and Ying met Nasida at the Adventurers Association on time.

"Catherine, we're gathering. Oh wait, you're... you're [that] Catherine?"

"Yes, I should be [the] Catherine you think of." Nasida replied.

Facing Paimon's question, Ying felt a little helpless and said, "Why don't Paimon just call Nasita?"

Paimon explained to Ying why he did this.

"Hush...! We are going to operate secretly tonight, and [Catherine]'s identity must also be protected!"

Nasida also agrees with Paimon's approach.

"What Paimon said makes sense. After all, we can't completely rule out the possibility that tonight's [handover] is a trap."

"If something unexpected happens, then my existence may be the only [trump card] we can use."

"After all, the Order Council should not be able to confirm that my consciousness exists outside."

"Yeah~ Yeah~! That's right, that's it!"

Ying couldn't believe that Paimon had thought of such a thing.

"I don't quite believe that Paimon thought of it."

"Uh...that's what it is anyway. It's better to be cautious, eh!"

"Speaking of which, do you feel anything strange?"

"Strange? What do you mean is strange?" Pamon asked.

"To be precise, the neighborhood seems to be unusually quiet, which is quite different from usual."

Paimon felt that the neighborhood was very quiet, which was normal in the middle of the night.

"Of course it's quiet in the middle of the night. Are you starting to feel suspicious now?"

Nasida also felt that the current environment was a bit strange because it was too quiet and there were very few people on the street.

"I think the traveler is right. It is indeed quieter than usual."

"If you look carefully, there seem to be significantly fewer people on the streets nearby. It's not clear whether this reflects the overall image of Xumi City."

"Hey...isn't it really a coincidence? Does Setale have any ability to not only lure the guards away, but also make everyone in the city go to bed early to clear the way for us?"

Nasida felt that in this situation, there was no time to think about what was going on. The most urgent task was to go to the appointment. As for other things, it would not be too late to think about them later.

"I haven't thought about the reason for this sense of disobedience...but the matter is over, let's go to the appointment first."

"Well, after all, you are here, so I can feel a little more at ease."

So the three of them left the Adventurers Association and walked towards the Order House.

Along the way, they found that there were very few pedestrians.

When they came to the gate of the Holy Order, they found many Xumi people gathered here, and everyone was cheering, as if they were welcoming the heroes returning in triumph.
