- You're younger than I thought.

That was my first impression when I saw the Eastern Catholic monk Zheng Elsa.

The status of monk justice, is a high status that falls within the category of cardinals, bishops, etc. in other religions, and is also an important position among religious groups from which a new top is chosen in the event of the death, for example, of the head of an organization.

When it comes to being chosen for such a position, it is not difficult to imagine that people, upbringing, experience, etc. are required to be fairly high on many matters, and consequently difficult to follow unless they are of considerable age.

Despite this, Elsa Monk Zheng is very young.

I don't know how old a woman really is, but at least it feels like no one sees this guy and sees him in his late thirties, and some people might say he's a teenager.

Well, I guess the general human being would be in his twenties.

This is because I can't feel young in appearance, but rather the reason that resides in those eyes and the calm that can be felt from the whole is unlikely to be a teenager.

The woman, with dark hair like a wet feather of a raven not so rare in Yarlan, also with pitch-black eyes, bows her head to us deeply as she enters the reception room.

Me and Lorraine stood up and equally thanked each other, Elsa Monk Zheng opened his mouth.

"... thank you very much for coming all the way, far away, to deliver your letter. From Lillian Jeune, to the monks and righteous Elsa, so… I am the Elsa Orgado."

In contrast, it was Lorraine who answered.

Because it was Lorraine who took this request this time, and I'm basically an escort.

Nevertheless, it seems acceptable to be here because of the fact that we have been carrying letters together.

In the first place, it must feel like Lillian asked us more than he asked Lorraine.

"This is polite...... My name is Lorraine Vivier and I'm a silver adventurer. This is Rent Vivier with you."

So it was Elsa, whose family name pointed a slight glance at the same thing, but Lorraine gets to the point, realizing the doubts that have come to her like that, but without explaining it in any particular way.

In the first place, I can think of many reasons for being a couple or coming out of the same house.

Did Elsa decide to flush it too, listening to Lorraine's words?

"This time, I have been asked by Lord Lillian directly to deliver this letter to Elsa Monk Justice. Please, take it."

That said, Lorraine takes out the letter.

From nostalgia, or from a bag of magic.

"Silver...?... Really? Excuse me, may I open it here? I'm in a hurry."

Elsa had spoken of Lorraine's class, probably because to the extent of carrying the letter, even the bronze class would suffice.

It's not that I bothered to ask the silver class.

Of course, few high-ranking adventurers are asked to do so if it's an important letter, but Lillian is the dean of Malt's orphanage.

I don't have as much money to spare, and I might have thought I wouldn't dare ask the silver class to do something about it.

In fact, it's not that Lorraine got it because Lillian wanted to bother asking the silver class, it's just that someone she knew happened to be.

By the way, Lillian said the requisition fee also pays a prescribed fee, but then Lorraine is discounted.

Also, it would make double sense for her to tell you that she would open it here.

The first is an easy reason to understand, as she said, that she wants to see the contents as soon as possible.

And the second reason is, let me see if the letter was really delivered correctly.

As for the former, it is only pre-construction, and the latter would be the original reason.

Normally, once an adventurer has been requested to carry a letter, the adventurer will not be the first to check the contents.

Or if I did that without the permission of my client, I would normally be guilty.

But some of them are disgruntled, and not adventurers who do what they look at themselves.

Of course, there aren't that many of them, but for once, just in case, confirmation is important.

Lorraine nodded at Elsa's words,

"Of course, I don't mind. Please, check."

Answer that.

Elsa nodded,

"So... whoa, you left me standing. Please, sit back. I will sit down too..."

That's what I've recommended, so me and Lorraine fit in the sitting couch in the reception room again.

When we saw that, Elsa did the same, but the female monk who had guided her so far remained silent and standing behind Elsa.

Something, I guess, to be able to move quickly when I'm offered an errand.

And, well, there's gonna be things like that so we can be shields when we try to do something to Elsa.

There are signs that female monks have martial arts skills.

I don't know if it's going to be our opponent in real life... but I guess I can't help it if Lorraine really unleashes magic anyway.

However, of course, in that case, we will be caught, and even if we do not, we will be questioners.

I just want you to be assured that I won't do that, but I can't help but be vigilant about this stuff all the time.

With that in mind, Elsa writes a letter and looks angry.

"... what have you done?

When Lorraine asked so, Elsa shook her neck to the side,

"... no. I felt nostalgic..."

And he answered, and then he uttered something, a sacrament that would belong to Eastern Catholicism.

Then a pale, blue and white light fluttered around Elsa, and a similar, but slightly different, light shined in Lillian's letter as he responded to it.

This is, indisputably, the glow of the Sacred Qi.

Lillian was also a saintly manipulative Virgin, but this Elsa monk would mean the Virgin as well.

It's not that it's imperative to be holy in order to be a high priest in a religious community, but when you can use it, you're often given a relatively high status from the beginning.

Inevitably, I have heard that the fact that it is susceptible to becoming a high priest seems to be the case in any religious community because it also comes into being faster.

Young people who are not worthy of Elsa's status are also convinced if this is the reason.

After a while, when the holy temper settled, the wax in the letter collapsed and disappeared as blurry as it carburized.

When I see Lorraine for the first time, she whispers.

"... mainly used by high priests, that's a kind of sealing technique. It uses holy chi, which is not well known to the public. The correct solution to the technique, like a key... except for those who know it. If you try to open a letter on your own, it leaves a mark, so it can be broken. In that case, the sign is marked by the holy spirit, so who may have opened the letter? That said, if you can use Holiness, you can erase the mark..."

It didn't mean that Lorraine said not to sound particularly Elsa, so Elsa seemed to be listening.

"You know me well. Exactly. Lillian had been unable to use his holy temper a while back... so it had been a long time since he had been sent in this format..."
