It is not a convenient tool that will come to save yourself when you hear the call.

Because she always remembered what the black-haired boy said.

【Gods don’t come when they’re called, and even Gods aren’t omnipotent in the true sense. Gods probably get confused when it comes to recognizing the way, right? 】

Therefore, the girl decided not to leave the decision of the "way" to God.

However, although the girl does not believe that God is by her side, but...

Lucia, Angelina, Agata, Catalina—it was thanks to the Roman Orthodoxy that I met these people, and Agnes thanked God from the bottom of her heart.

With gratitude, she decided to believe in the dogma of Christianity.

and.

If being able to meet these people is a kind of luck, she will protect this luck with her own hands.

No matter what happens.

She is to use the opportunities God has given her as a proof of her faith.

She decided to find her own "road" with her own hands, no matter which boy she met.

At that time, the girl hopes that she can confidently but firmly tell the other party her gratitude and the fact that she has grown up.

With such a wish, the girl quickened her pace.

Because she was holding a lot of books, the girl couldn't see clearly the pedestrians in front of her and on her left and right.

"Ah, sorry..."

The girl felt that she had bumped into someone, so she hurriedly apologized.

"!?"

The book in the girl's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and she turned her head abruptly.

She saw it just now, she saw the familiar black windbreaker and the little silver cross.

But when she turned around and dealt with the other believers who were attracted by the loud noise of a large number of books falling, the boy in the girl's impression did not appear nearby.

"Sister Agnes, what's the matter with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Ah...no, I'm fine, I'm sorry I slipped my hand."

"Ah, let me help you."

"I, I'll help you."

Putting the books in their hands aside, Sister Lucia and Sister Angelina helped the red-haired nun named Agnes to pack up the fallen books.

(Are you reading it wrong...)

Agnes picked up the packed books, and walked towards the Vatican Library with the two nuns feeling a little lost.

But she didn't notice that at the corner of the street, a piece of black clothes had just quietly drifted past.

Chapter 69: Exploration Ships in the Pacific

The sea surface was empty in the middle of the night, although it could be called quiet because of the noise of the waves.

Huge ships move with currents near U.S. territorial waters in the Pacific Ocean.

Under the lights of mast lights, side lights, tail lights, and bow lights, it can be generally seen that this is a ship with a displacement of about [-] to [-].

From the ship's row and structure, it can be judged that it is an exploration ship.

On the hull, its name is also written in white paint.

【Vulture】

But this exploration ship, which originally carried more than 100 people, could not feel any breath of living people at this time.

All one hundred and three people on and off the ship were killed, and what caused this tragedy was their own cannibalism.

At least on the surface.

In the deep darkness that ordinary people cannot penetrate and observe, a fierce magic battle is unfolding.

But before explaining the situation here, let us go back in time a little bit and come to a coffee shop in London on August [-]st.

"Don't do it."

"Don't say that, our manpower is also very tight on this matter."

"Nervous fart, your Church of Necessary Evil recruits so many people every year, and when you can't grasp accurate information and may lead to downsizing, you think of letting me go?"

Glancing at the embarrassed Laura, Sigurd unceremoniously picked up the biscuits on the table and ate them.

"And the reason why I ran to London was not because there was a crazy woman in Academy City chasing me all over Academy City recently."

"Is that the psychic named Mugino Shirley?"

"Since her ability rose to 'Superpower (level.5)', she has been chasing me all over the world. Didn't she use magic to deflect her attack?"

In fact, things are generally like this.

One day, when Mugino Shirley was conducting an ability test, Sigurd passed by and said, "Why does it smell like aunt's perfume?"

Then he was hunted down by Mai Ye Shenli.

But this mercenary is also a ruthless character who has wiped out a national sect by himself. How could he be hit by the attack of a mere superpower?

However, due to special reasons, it seems impossible to avoid hiding, and in terms of self-discipline protection, Sigurd's protective spells are purely aimed at magic, and their protection against purely scientific abilities is relatively weak.

So the final result is that Sigurd used the "polarizer" technique to "deflect" Mugino Shirley's electron beam, which is very simple in theory.

But what he saw from Mugino Shirley's perspective was Sigurd's random wave of one hand, which missed his favorite attack.

It took him more than a year to grow into a superpower, but now a researcher is blowing away his attack with nothing?

The final result was that Mugino Shirley hunted Sigurd all over Academy City whenever he had time, vowing that it would not be enough to beat him to the ground and beg for mercy.

Ever since, the mercenary used this as an excuse to skip work from Aleister and come to the UK for "paid leave".

"Speaking of 'superpowers', what do you think of Academy City's research?"

"In terms of purely destructive power, superpowers can already match the elite of the Church of Necessary Evil, but their weaknesses are obvious. No curses or spiritual spells can counteract them, and trainees can knock them down."

"That means you don't think Academy City is a threat?"

"How many people do you think are on the magic side who are interested in Academy City?"

Laura didn't refute, but took a sip of black tea by herself.

Just as the mercenary said, the magic side still looks down on the science side at this time, but this is not a bad thing.

If they now realize that the science side is a threat, then it will be troublesome.

"About this time..."

"I said, what is this, and I started talking again on my own. I didn't say that I would accept this commission, did I?"

"The entrustment fee this time is not low."

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Is it a matter of money? I came to England to escape leisurely, but now you want me to go to the Pacific Ocean to investigate the survey ship that died at sea? This kind of shit makes Stile go."

Sigurd took a piece of puff from the afternoon tea stand beside him, and casually threw it into his mouth.

Taking a sip of the coffee at hand, the aroma immediately spread in the mouth.

"Also, are you full-fledged members of the Necessary Evil Church, these guys who eat taxpayers' money and pay monthly salaries, can they be so leisurely now? Don't worry about small things, let me do big things?"

"The impact of this incident is quite bad. The ship that was killed was the 'luxury&ingot' group, a resource exploration company controlled by the UK, but the place where the ship was killed was near US territorial waters in the Pacific Ocean..."

The Supreme Bishop named Lola seems not to be relaxed recently, looking at the street outside the coffee shop with tired eyes.

Although it's already August, I can't feel the heat of summer at all. There are many pedestrians in spring and autumn clothes on the street. Because of the climate, most people bring umbrellas for emergencies.

"...Because of this, this incident was once regarded as a deliberate sabotage of diplomatic relations between the United Kingdom and the United States, and it was also a microcosm of the fierce competition between the United Kingdom and the United States in the exploration of underground resources."

"To be honest, in a country that doesn't have any national religions, and even the associations are mostly concentrated near Mexico, if you really want to do something, they may not be able to react. At least the 'industry' will not have such an idea. "

She nodded by default, but Laura just said helplessly.

"But people in the general world don't think that way."

"I can't control this. Science has always been dominant in this aspect. In addition to the Roman Orthodox Church's believers' advantage on the magic side, the British Puritans and Russian Orthodox Churches have always had limited control over public opinion."

"That's why we want to ask you to investigate. Because you are a relatively neutral existence as a mercenary, and you are also a researcher of Academy City. From your status, you can even apply for 'assistance' in a fair and just manner. investigation."

"It is impossible to pass the application as a researcher. Now the grandchildren in the United States are keeping a close eye on Academy City. And why do you come to me directly when you don't even know the other party's information? To say 'Scout 'You Puritans have also cultivated a lot of guys like this, right?"

Laura handed the document in her hand to the mercenary. There was not much content on it, but the mercenary immediately extracted valuable information from a few strokes.

The mercenary put down the coffee cup in his hand, and looked seriously at the supreme bishop who smiled helplessly.

"This is the existing information on the target this time. It is a magic association called 'Darkness to be Awakened (duskwaitingtoawaken)'."

"It's Cthulhu again..."

"Yes."

Chapter 70: Three Maiden Magicians

"that......"

The girl with short brown hair held the short-handled broom in her hands nervously.

His eyes were a little uneasy, and he looked towards the surrounding black "wall" from time to time.

"What's wrong?"

Holding a coffee cup, the mercenary, who was casually enjoying the snacks while leaning on the seat as if nothing had happened, asked the girl beside him in a puzzled tone.

"I think Mary Bette is probably worried that water will pour in or something. After all, we are in the deep sea now."

The girl in the conversation had beautiful golden hair, a dignified and beautiful appearance, and a very prominent chest curve.

She put her witch hat aside, and the witch's broom with the black cat crest was leaning against the "wall" on the side.

Sitting opposite Sigurd, the girl was also leisurely tasting the black tea in her hand.

"Don't worry, how could there be such a mistake in the master's technique."
