The Tale of the Teapot Hero's Revenge

201 Identity of the enemy

Sneak out the back door and go down the alley to keep it out of sight.

If you get out to the central boulevard with a lot of people, that's a wave of people.

If I get lost, I'm inconspicuous in the hood.

At the end of the road, the Grand Temple of Pure White is dyed red, illuminated by a sunset that is about to sink.

How long has that big building on the high ground been built there?

(... there you are, aren't you? Someone's after Beato.)

Finding out who he is is is the minimum purpose of this one.

So, I'm going to kill Awabari.

Anyway, the purpose is swept up, and the enemies nowadays are full of things they don't know.

It's also refreshing to see how Beat has something to do with his plan to artificially build razors.

If we can figure it all out that far, I guess we can do it.

By the time I reached the foot of a high platform with a great temple, the sun was completely set.

Dear moon that fits into the sky.

Full moon tonight......

Up the long stairs, up, even up.

Really, I'm a little nervous about jumping, but if you do that, you'll stand out dead.

One step at a time, I climbed into the tunnel and finally reached the entrance to the Great Temple.

Well, where do we attack from first --.

"Mr. Killier, I've been waiting for you"

"Yikes...... Huh!

All in all, I almost screamed.

'Cause you just found out about the disguise, didn't you?

In the meantime, press and kill your voice to confirm the face of Soitz, who called me with his normal heart.

"Is that...?

But when I saw the person's face, the tension fell out at once.

A blue-haired, moderate-looking Sister woman.

I've seen him before, and I know his name. He's a trustworthy man.

"Mr. Berna...?

"It's been a while. You think you're doing a lot of hard work for that kid? We have heard from Mr. Reacher."

I lowered my head with a pepper, and they thanked me.

I don't mind that...

"Well, it's going to stand out here..."

"Oh, right. Talk to me, then, in my room. Let me show you."

My situation, it seems like you're asking me.

After Mr. Berna, I also went to the back of the Grand Temple.

... and this guy, it was like he knew I was coming.

I know, I think I've been waiting for you...

No, I guess I just think too much.

Around the fourth floor of the Grand Temple, I was brought to Mr. Berna's private room.

Thanks to Robe, Vail, and the "Supreme Lion of Heaven," I was able to get here without any suspicion.

"Please, have a seat. Now you can have some tea."

Gachari.

Mr. Berna put the key on it and went to get a pot and a tea set.

Sweet for your words, I'll sit on the couch in front of the table too.

It's smaller than Reacher's room, but still Mr. Berna's room, quite big.

The quality of the furniture may also be more amazing than the castle of Diete, the king's capital.

"Please wait. Be careful, it's hot."

"Oh, thank you......"

A teacup with tea was placed in front of me and Mr. Berna sits on the opposite side.

Beat's nanny (uba) and her blood shouldn't be connected, but blue eyes on her blue hair.

You look like Beato somehow when you see it this way......

Just keep the hood and veil that you no longer need, and I'll take the cup.

"Tsukuba..."

Much hotter than I thought, almost hot water.

I just touched it and my hand snapped.

Don't you think I can drink this for a while?

"Phew, maybe a little too hot. It's like your [gift]"

Is that a joke...?

I don't know what to say, and I don't know what kind of face to look like, okay?

"Shall I talk to you for a moment until it cools down? 'Cause you're gonna want to know a lot, too."

With a smile, Mr. Berna told me so.

There are so many things I want to know, and I'd appreciate an answer to that...

"Mr. Berna, do you know...? What I want to know and the answer…"

"Yeah, I know."

... really?

If so, how could this person...

"First of all, let me thank you for keeping that kid —— Beat all the time"

"No..., you know, because I just wanted to protect myself..."

I bowed my head deeply and was thanked.

Yes, one of the things I've always wondered about is that.

"... In the first place, why was Beato being targeted? You're lying about the sacrifice, aren't you?

"Yeah, that's total bullshit. awakening that child as the Virgin, their aim was that"

"The power of the Virgin...? What for? No... If you need a Virgin, there's a Reacher..."

"Beat's body was subjected to the technique of sealing the power of the Virgin. Things you need to unseal are your own thoughts for strength when you are in crisis"

Not answering my question, Mr Berna continues to talk pale.

"Tell him I will sacrifice Empireo, and put a mental load on him. Drain the meal, lock it in the dungeon, and take a physical load. The way they did it was abusive and very unwatchable"

"Maybe you're also the guide for Beato to escape...?

"I put cooperation on my mother and let that kid go. Afterwards, it was out of calculation that the kingdom people caught me..."

I'm out every once in a while from now on, they're the word.

Definitely, this guy also knows who the mastermind is.

"The..., let me know if you know. Who the hell is after Beato?"

……

After a short while, Mr. Berna finally speaks the name of Soitz.

"... Archbishop Fixer Stolls. I am the Archbishop of the Empireo Church, inheriting the knowledge of the stars that has been passed down for two thousand years."

"Archbishop Fixer... he..."

The identity of the enemy, previously riddled with mystery, was finally visible.

If this happens, the story is simple.

You just have to kill Soitz.

"Her purpose, that's the plan to artificially create Empireo, the mechanical god (Pyrea exmakina)"

The leader told me about the plan.

I knew it was there, and Beat had something to do with it.

"By copying Empireo's power into the vessel of the mechanical God, we create a God with the same power as Empireo. To do this, we need to incorporate the Virgin linked to Empireo as a biological part."

"Biological parts......?

You mean you've been tormenting and scaring Beat for that, for that crap?

Archbishop Fixer, I can never forgive you.

I just pulled out my soma and jumped to the top ranking I wanted to kill Butch.

"But if you need the Virgin, you can leache..."

"Not with her, sir"

"Why --"

"There's a reason why you can't."

That's odd, suddenly the guard hardened.

Is it also something you want to hide when it comes to Leiche...?

"This plan was a story that was ultimately unacceptable to the fanatics of the trustee Judas —— Empireo. Because when a new God is born, the link between the Virgin and Empireo is cut off."

"... so he used me to help Beat out of Caron's mansion"

And after that, he kept using me to protect Beat from Fixer's hands.

It wasn't just feeding Empireo that Fixer forced me to destroy the Tartus army executives, it was interfering with the plan.

"... Phew"

Something tells me you're tired of getting information all at once.

It would have cooled down about now, and let's have a cup of tea and settle down.

Puff the cup into your hand, into your mouth.

... Yeah, it's just about drinkable and yummy.

Now, put it back on the table and continue the story --.

Docun.

"... Gu!

hey what...!?
