Running Away From The Hero!

“I'll speak for him. Yeah, that's right. He's a very evil man. ”

Asts are evil. You can't deny it.

That was my and Leah's assessment of Ast's longest time together.

Not only me, but the widows who acted together, the soldiers who were trained under him, and the saint who first met them.

Perhaps every soldier in the Kingdom of Mercia thinks so.

“That's undeniable. ”

People who have been together for a long time.

Some people with faces.

The first people I met.

And people I've never met think of asts as evil.

You have to admit.

If you do not acknowledge this, you will have an inevitable weakness.

The enemy will continue to attack as an evil creature, and I will only be defeated by stopping it.

Saving Ast is our top priority right now.

We must eliminate the justification that the saint should kill Ast.

“Now that you admit it, can I kill him? ”

The saint stares at the astronaut with very sharp eyes.

If anyone saw me, I would believe that I was the enemy who killed my parents.

“No, that's not it. ”

“Why?”

“It's true that Ast is evil, but that's not why he's going to die. ”

It was not the Church's job to kill criminals. It is punished by the country in the area where the crime was committed.

“Ast is evil, but he hasn't sinned yet. There's no reason to die. ”

And I was a hierarchy of national leaders.

I had the right to judge and enforce my sin.

“There's no reason to judge an innocent man. Rather, the Asts contribute a lot to the country. Even if I give you a promotion, you won't have enough credit. ”

“You don't have to put it up! ”

“It's time to be quiet. ”

I glanced at the urgent shouting of Ast from behind.

“Yep.”

Asts aren't stupid.

I quickly nodded my head, unlike usual, because I knew that I was the only one who could save myself now.

“Anyway, he's innocent. That's the empire's assessment. ”

In my words, the lady clenched her lips and stared at Ast.

The charge against Astor is not solely a felony.

It was my right to judge it, not the right of the saint.

The right of a saint is to punish sinners appointed by God, to punish those associated with evil gods, and to investigate dangerous people who may threaten the balance of the world.

And none of these are included by Ast.

“He……. ”

The girl who had been staring at Ast for a long time was not shaken.

“He is guilty! That's a very big sin! ”

My words did not sway the saint.

You shout that Ast is guilty, as if he had a very firm conviction.

“What crime is that? ”

At this point, it makes me wonder if I'm really guilty.

I looked at it without avoiding the eyes of the saint.

“Why does the Church think Ast is guilty? ”

He goes out without hiding that he is very uncomfortable.

If you talk nonsense, your relationship with the Empire will not be very good.

It is expressed indirectly.

But even with that attitude, the saint doesn't waver.

“This is it. ”

Ast raises the fast-paced weapon.

“This is a cavalry that should not exist in the world! It's an incredible thing to call an evil god weapon. ”

It was... that thing again.

What's wrong with that? Is there such a thing as a saint?

“What the hell is that? ”

Ast told me about that weapon.

In the explanation, however, there was nothing that made the peace-loving saint become a bloodline to kill people.

In there,

“Ugh... ”

“Ah……. ”

“It's okay. I'm not afraid. I'm not scared. I'm not scared. ”

As soon as she lifts up that weapon, the paladins around her shudder.

It looks like I'm bored with fear.

A knight who worships a god called a paladin.

If ordinary knights exist to protect the Lord, then paladins exist to protect the world according to the will of God.

God is always with us.

I heard that paladins who say that do not know fear.

Even if the Deviled Monster or the Evil Black Wizard are the enemy!

Even if an army of evil gods is the enemy, there is no reason to fear them except with God!

That's what the paladins were saying, but I think that look was a false rumor.

“I realized the moment I got hit by one of these. I don't know why the Church got such a tip. This is the kind of weapon a follower of the Evil God would have! And the author who created this must be a follower of the evil god! ”

The woman's words were full of confidence. ‘What the hell is wrong with him?' It makes me think.

What happened to the saint struck her with that weapon.

That's how people turned out.

“You don't believe me, either. ”

Did I make too much of a mess?

“Of course.”

But I couldn't help it.

If it was the Church of Peace, it was a cult that did a lot of activities in its own way.

In a small town bar, a few fights occur a day.

So how many fights are there on the continent?

A minimum of thousands, or even tens of thousands, can still happen today.

And stopping it is the goal of the Church of Peace.

It was the doctrine of peace's ideology to mediate as many fights as possible to make peace.

“People who cried out for peace suddenly changed. With a stick of wood. Can't be easy to believe. ”

Conversely, their transformation could prove Astor's guilt.

Seeing the paladins change their behavior in one day that they shouldn't have killed Ast until yesterday, there must be something on that stick.

Maybe if it were a weaker country, my brother would still be confirmed.

“I see.”

The woman nodded, feeling that it could be so.

“Then……. ”

Could it be because of the feeling that the eyes of the saint suddenly changed?

She was a saint who emits a sharp aura like a beast aiming for food.

“Your Majesty!"

“It's okay, Leah. ”

I am the empire princess, even though I am a saint.

You can't do anything to me....

“Stop, really? ”

“Halt, Holy Mother! ”

“Stop it, Holy Mother! The opponent is the Empire Princess! ”

“Grab him! Block him with your body before he gets into trouble! ”

“Ha, but the lady is holding that wicked weapon...! ”

According to the paladins' reaction, she was probably a crazy bitch who could have done something.

“Leah, I think we need an escort. ”

“Oh, I see. ”

Leah takes her hand to the hilt of the sword, following the paladins' actions.

Although the sword has not yet been drawn because it has not been directly threatened, Leah will immediately move as soon as the saint takes action.

“Shhhhh!”

“Queek!”

“That's all right. Would you do the same for the Empire Empress?" ”

The paladin, who was wandering around her to stop the saint, screams strangely.

“Ah……. ”

One of the paladins dodged the attack of the holy woman looked at her with horrified eyes.

“No way…. ”

“Yes, that's right. ”

What is he talking about?

Short questions and answers from saints and paladins.

The paladins shouted in a white, dull look, if that's all they understood.

“Run!”

“No way!”

Seeing the paladins fleeing in different directions for a moment, the saint shouted.

“Commit to God! The use of these vicious horsemen will make even the empire princess admit it! ”

“No!”

“Why are we! ”

“Because you swore you could risk your life for God! ”

“Shhh!”

“X.O.!”

“Give it up! It's too late! Drop it!”

That brief commotion... Seeing roughly 10 paladins crouching or rolling their eyes on the floor, the saint said with her face plagued.

“This is the evidence. ”

It was bullshit, but persuasive.

I thought to myself when I saw the paladin-trained saint sitting on the floor in a blow.

Ast's made another weird weapon.

I thought I could understand how the general soldiers changed so much because I couldn't even hold on to the saint.

However, I changed my mind as I watched dozens of paladins collapse like foliage.

You really made an astonishing weapon.

One and one.

Seeing the screams and faces of the changing paladins every time I got hit, I began to think that it might be difficult to persuade the saint.

“I didn't hit him hard. Even the villagers would say that they were sick, but they were beaten to a pulp. And yet, the paladins collapse screaming like this. This evil power that pierces even the paladins' blessings! A weapon like this cannot exist unless it is a Dark Wizard or a follower of an evil god! ”

Obviously... If the paladins weren't acting as a group, the weapon pierced even God's blessing wouldn't be so strange as to call it the Devil God's weapon.

“ ……. ”

As soon as I kept my mouth shut, the saint continued to fight as if she had won a victory.

“If you think we're acting, you're welcome to bring in people you can trust. Or prisoners... ”

“Halt, Holy Mother! ”

“We are the Church of Peace! The Church of Peace!”

“You experimented on prisoners instead! ”

The priests, who were speechless and speechless, shouted in unison as if they had regained their senses as if they were beating the holy knights.

“Now is the time to sacrifice the cow for the great. If more of these evil weapons are created, the world will be in peril! ”

The saint declared with confidence in her actions.

“We need to get rid of that evil man before any more of these weapons can be made. ”

The priests kept their mouths shut because of what the saint had said.

“This is no ordinary cursed object. An object that cannot be lifted from my prayers. Guys, think about it. Even a holy woman's prayers won't lift the curse! How many sacrifices could there have been to make this? ”

There were... sacrifices.

The sacrifice of a tree ripping open a branch.

“Now, you wicked one, speak! How many sacrifices there were to make evil horsemen! ”

Chuck!

I smiled as I looked at the saint shouting at Ast with the stick in my hand.

“Yes, Ast. Tell me what you sacrificed when you made that. ”

Did he not see my face?

The saint shouted at Ast in a louder voice than before, if you thought she had convinced me.

“Your master's orders! Okay, go ahead. What ingredients have these vicious horsemen been made of! Devil's body, virgin's soul? Or the blood of a child? ”

The objects spoken of by the saint were the enemies of the continent as soon as they were used together as prohibited items on the continent.

“I've seen what evil black wizards have done for their immortality. I'm sure of it. You would have used similar, or even greater, sacrifices to make this cavalry! ”

I leaned.

The priests near the holy woman, as well as the paladins who had fled from her, began to stare at Ast.

The Saint's words were full of confidence.

With their gaze, Ast looks up boldly.

“Do you want to know? What is it made of? ”

“Yes, I think I do, but I'll give you a chance to say it with your own mouth. What did they use it for? ”

It's over now.

With that look, the saint looked at Ast.

Ast bowed his head, looking at the girl who had changed her tone as if she were a sinner.

“Huff... ”

I started trembling.

“Are you afraid that your sins will be revealed? That's the way of the world. No matter how dark it is, the light will be illuminated! No crime lasts as long as God exists! ”

It's over.

Everyone here thought so, except for three.

And those three were me, Leah, and Ast, of course.

“It's... made of water. ”

“Huh?"

The face of the saint who was beaten was broken.

“W-what is that……. ”

The surroundings start to rumble.

Ast's words were of such wavelength.

“What the hell does that mean? ”

As the voice of a confused saint pierces through the murmurs around her,

“It's... made from the branches of the water of the world that the High Elves gave me." ”

“That's a lie! ”

“If you think you're lying, why don't you just send word to the elves? ”

Ast, who was trembling and laughing, shouted more confidently than she had previously said.

It was a moment of reversal.
