Monster no Goshujin-sama

Two.

"What is this..."

Mr. Gordon's lowly voice shook the indoor air.

The location is a room in the royal castle.

It was the room rented by the two names of the expedition, the "Circle of Fairies" Shimazu Ring.

To send Gordon, vice-president of the Diocese Knights, and his men, we were faced with the anomaly when we visited the Imperial capital again because of Shimazu's inherent ability to travel instantaneously.

Cathedral, the home of the Cathedral Church, visible through the window.

The large domed main hall and the six spires surrounding it had been heavily damaged.

The spire, which should have six, is broken down into four pieces, and the walls of White Asia are broken by the way.

We were forced to move from the capital two days ago.

At that time, it wasn't like that.

Mr. Gordon and his men's knights glanced out the window.

If you try it on them, it must be like the sky is falling.

It is an organization called the Cathedral Church that combines the greatest strength and authority to defend this world.

It made more sense than fact that the building, its home and symbol, was so badly damaged.

That's enough to rock the world.

The Iino men had also solidified an unexpected sight in front of them.

Lily and Silan were the only ones who noticed the sight I had given them.

We nodded at each other and opened our mouths.

"... I can't help doing this here"

Speaking up, Mr. Gordon and his men's knights' time moved on.

The Iino people also saw this one when they returned it to me.

I opened my mouth, waiting for everyone to get their normal thoughts back.

"Mr. Gordon. We will leave this place as planned. I don't know what happened, but the current Cathedral Church is no different for me. I'm not going to show my face."

"Really?"

"What will you do with Mr. Gordon?"

"We... we, too, will move as planned"

Power returned to Mr. Gordon's eyes.

That's right, it seemed like he succeeded in holding back the upset in a short time.

"I'm going back to church. We have to see what happened."

"That's not an ordinary thing. It could be dangerous."

"Yes, sir."

"... ok. I just don't want you to die for nothing. I'll give you the magic tools for telecommunications, so let me know if you feel you're in danger."

It was what Kanahiko used to keep in touch with the captain.

"Are you sure? I'm one of the Knights of the Diocese."

I don't want the Knights of the Diocese to crush me.

As I say, I give you a magic tool.

"Rather than having it crushed, I have trouble with it. We have a common interest in protecting the world."

"... you're so calm"

Mr. Gordon laughed a little and received his magic tools.

"Thank you"

"I don't know what to say instead, but let me know if you know what happened. As far as I can tell."

"Okay. Must."

I shifted my gaze from Mr. Gordon, who nodded.

"Excuse me, Mr. Shimazu. It's strange, but can you stay with me for a while as planned? In some cases, you may need to pick up Mr. Gordon."

"Mm-hmm. Fine."

Turning to the water, Shimazu answered immediately.

"I'm more concerned about the church, but my body isn't all right yet. 'Cause even if I go, it's gonna be a trap."

"Thank you. What about Iino?

"I..."

Iino keeps saying a few words.

"I'll talk to my leader..."

I said, I shook my head to the side.

"No. I don't. I'll be with you. I'll protect you. That's what I promised."

"... right"

Iino's tone made him feel somewhere unstable.

Hostilities in the other world with former Explorers may be spiritually indulgent.

No. Was there anything a little strange before that?

"Are you okay?"

"What?"

Nevertheless, even if I tried to put in words of care, Iino just responded in a grumpy way, as usual.

Well, Iino has an expedition companion, and Mr. Shimazu, and that would be a good consolation around leader Nakatsuki.

It's not like I'm going to squeak.

"So long, Mr. Gordon. Safe."

When I switched my head and sent Mr. Gordon out, I asked Mr. Shimazu to prepare for his return.

We rushed to move out of the capital when we saw something we didn't expect.

Another thing that was unexpected.

I thought members of the expedition would notice and come to see how things were going during the hoarding time needed to travel in Mr. Shimazu's "Circle of Fairies," but they never showed their faces.

Apparently everyone was paying for it.

However, this was no surprise if you think about it.

"That's how the cathedral was damaged. The righteous Explorers will be on their way."

When I said it, Lily shrugged her shoulder.

"Well, isn't it safe to say one thing? If that's the case, Mr. Gordon will be relieved."

"Right."

Anyway, the expedition is a group of sixty cheats.

If it's something you can do with force, there's nothing you can't solve.

Or if it is a problem that cannot be solved by them, there will no longer be anything anyone can do about it.

"As I said to Mr. Gordon, the presence of the Cathedral Church is essential to maintaining stability in the world. If it were an expedition, it would solve whatever happened to the Cathedral Church..."

... should be.

Yet why is it somewhat unsettling?

I had a nasty heartbeat.

Things changed only a few hours after I came back from the capital.

At that time, we were discussing the future.

I couldn't help but squash time in the wilderness forever, and my early return to Akel was roughly a compilation of stories beyond my inability to make contact with the expedition.

One of my purposes in knowing about the truth of this world is to make contact with the 'cornerstones of the world'.

Obtaining the "cornerstone of the world", which is responsible for the maintenance and management of the world, is a sine qua non condition in order for us to change the "worldview" of this world, which is made up of perceptions, so that we have no problem tolerating ourselves.

However, this is a magical tool managed by the Cathedral Church, which is not so easily accessible.

It is impossible to borrow more than Harrison did not allow us to give the highest priority to defending this world.

If you intend to make forceful contact, you will break into the Cathedral Church, but now it will be time for all the Cathedral Knights armies to turn to the enemy.

If you do poorly, you could turn to enemies as far as expeditions.

I just can't do that.

Then when it came to being stuck, it wasn't.

For one thing, I knew it.

The 'cornerstone of the world' that had been gathered in the Cathedral Church, with exceptions.

It's in the dragon abyss.

For a long time, the "Fog Junction", which has protected the inside of the Dragon Abyss, has been maintained by the "Foundations of the World" ceded from the "Fog Temporary Inn" Salvia.

Unfortunately, the inside of the dragon abyss has been destroyed by the transferees, and Ella, who returned once later, has reported that the 'cornerstone of the world' that rested inside has gone missing, but it's not like there's anything else I haven't noticed yet.

There were two "cornerstones of the world" that Ri possessed.

I've seen it before.

Sadias, who was the 'searcher' inside.

That young man who led me inside possessed the 'cornerstone of the world' because of his role in finding a place where the other world could be deployed.

If you can reach him, you can touch the 'cornerstone of the world'.

It would also be possible to study the necessary rewriting of the 'worldview'.

Also, we can soon return to Akel than the two 'Circles of Fairies' and 'Wewaten' are attached here, but not on the part of the Cathedral Church.

A distance that would normally take four months to travel would buy you time.

Harrison, it would take more time to rebuild than a child's men were devastated, and the time for research should have been enough.

And about his contact with Sadias at heart, but he was taught the means to get in touch when he broke up.

This method takes some time to reach me, and when I actually communicated the news when the inside of the dragon abyss was devastated, in the month and a little while before I headed to the Imperial City, I didn't get back any contact.

Nevertheless, it's been a while since, and that's just when it's been conveyed.

The royal palace of Akel left over half the inhabitants in the dragon abyss, so they should have been in contact with you by now.

Hopefully, we might be able to get the 'cornerstone of the world' in our hands when we get back to Akel.

That's how I kept my calculations.

If nothing, it would have moved down this street.

What changed the situation was a call from Mr. Gordon back in Imperial City.

"... Huh? Dead?"

Ask back.

That was in the wake of the great events that struck the Imperial capital and the crisis in the world that we could not have seen before.
