Miss Gudazi, who almost became a walker, is saving humanity

"...If you don't think that tongue-twister-like address is troublesome, I have no problem with it."

"Why [Church]? If you simply want a stronghold, there are many choices, right?"

"The reason is simple - I'm more familiar with the church, that's all."

■Fuyuki City・【Churches】

Fuyuki's church is not a big church, and it can even be said to be a bit crude compared to those lesser-known churches.

An unknown fire disaster has swept across the entire Fuyuki City, and the church in Fuyuki will naturally not be excluded from the disaster.

One of the doors of the church was broken, many parts of the walls fell off, and half of the roof was blown away.

Although the preserved shape can still be called complete, it has undoubtedly become a member of the ruins.

"Senior, do you really want to use this place as a stronghold?"

"Don't worry, since [Appearance] hasn't collapsed, you can still have expectations. And..."

Lixiang raised the thing in his hand and took a look.

It was a bear puppet, which Lixiang picked up on the way to church.

The puppet was stained with faint bloodstains, if it were to be classified, it would undoubtedly have to be classified as [Relic].As for the owner of the relic... Lixiang didn't know.

After all, it was just picked up.

"It's rare that the church is right in front of you. Let me pay homage to it."

"...a funeral?"

Matthew looked at the puppet held by Lixiang.

I don't know the owner's name, and I don't know the reason for being abandoned by the roadside.I don't know anything, and to put it bluntly, it's just a puppet stained with blood.

I deliberately used it as a symbol of someone, and prayed for him in the church... I don't know much about this world, and the little eggplant really can't understand the reason for doing such a [thankless] thing.

"Confused?"

Mash was a little surprised, she didn't expect Lixiang to see her doubts that she hadn't said at all.

"Senior is indeed very powerful."

"What kind of ambiguous evaluation is that?"

The girl smiled, and pushed open the wooden door of the church that was still barely glued to the door frame.

"It's meaningless, it's a sacrifice or something."

"It's nothing...meaningful? Then, senior, why did you pay homage to this little bear?"

"...because now only I can do it."

It would be too sad if there were no one who prayed for someone who died because of a sudden disaster.

Matthew still didn't understand.

"It's okay, just take your time. Questions are the beginning of breaking ignorance, and you will get your own answers one day."

Li Xiang reached out and touched the top of Little Eggplant's head who was still in doubt.

Matthew Ying's transformed shoes are high-heeled, and Matthew, who was about the same height as Lixiang, is half a head taller than Lixiang.In order to be able to touch the top of Matthew's head, Lixiang had to raise his hands high.

"Tsk, high heels are really bad civilization."

Go into the church and place the stuffed animal under the cracked statue.Li Xiang dug out the censer and a box of matches from the unbroken high platform, closed his eyes and recited the prayer after getting everything ready.

The surroundings suddenly quieted down, as if the space itself had changed—but this was just an illusion caused by the change in atmosphere.

Seeing Lixiang praying, Olga Marie realized more strongly and clearly than ever that this strange guy had really been an intern in the church.

——Actually Lixiang doesn’t believe in God.

Not even shallow believers, but outright unbelievers.Even though she had been an intern in the church for a long time, it would be too difficult for her, who was born as a time traveler, to become a believer in a certain god.

Her emotion for God is not [faith] but [respect]. After all, both gods and Buddhas really exist in the world of [Xingyue].

At the end of the sacrifice, Lixiang opened his eyes again.

"Come with me, this way."

Saying so, the girl led the way to a blind corner of the church.She didn't know what she did after reaching that blind corner, a hidden secret door just popped out in place.

"Here! Me! Wait! Wait!"

Olga Marie pointed to the secret door, and pointed to Li Xiang who looked at her suspiciously.

"Why do you know this kind of place?!"

"Hmm... because I was an intern in the church?"

"Do you guys think you can explain everything by [being an intern in the church]?!"

"Then... plus my family lives in Fuyuki?"

"This is not even a reason!"

"Wow, Director, you are so troublesome."

"Fuwu~ (really)"

"What is [So troublesome]! And that strange animal over there, what are you calling?!"

It would be endless if it continued like this, so Lixiang simply ignored Olga Marie for the time being, opened the secret door and walked in.

Matthew quickly followed Lixiang, and Olga Marie had no choice but to follow.

Behind the secret door is a somewhat luxurious and fully functional space, which can be seen as a refuge at a glance.

"Sit down for a while, I'll go find something. All churches have similar configurations, so there should be something here."

"And what?"

"Senior, do you need help?"

"No need." Lixiang rummaged through several cabinets, and then took out a suitcase with a handle from a certain cabinet, "After all, this thing is not difficult to find. By the way, there should be Drinking water is available.”

There are a lot of compressed food in the box, as well as [sword hilts] neatly arranged in the box.

It is said to be a sword hilt, but in fact it is not the size of a hand at all.And there is no blade, it looks like a cross decoration.

"Sure enough, I thought it was going to fail again."

"Is that why you came to church?" Olga Marie looked over, but she didn't know what these sword hilts were. "What is this?"

Lixiang took out one of them to reveal the blade from the hilt, closed one eye and replied, "The black key."

'At first I thought that the only person who would hoard a large number of black keys was that good old man.But yes, Mapo in fz is quite happy with the black keys. '

The girl thought as she put the black key on her body, but she was a little regretful that she only found weapons but no armor when opening the treasure chest.

"Black key... black key..."

After repeating this very familiar word several times, Olga Marie stood up in surprise when she remembered where she had heard this word before.

"The [Church] you have been talking about refers to the [Holy Church]?!"

"Otherwise?" Lixiang looked at Olga Marie with disgust, "After all, shouldn't you magicians think of [Holy Church] first when you hear [Church]?"

"Is it my fault if you didn't find out?! You didn't cut it!"

"that……"

Little Eggplant raised his hand and asked,

"Excuse me, what is [Holy Church]?"

"It's crazy."

Olga Marie replied firmly.

"I think you magicians are crazy."

Lixiang sighed, and briefly explained to Matthew after organizing the language a little.

"The Church of the Holy Church is essentially one with the ordinary church. In fact, the bishops of all large churches basically serve in the Church of the Holy Church. In a word, it is a large-scale armed organization established for the purpose of [hunting heresy]. "

"heresy?"

"The existence that pollutes the world, the existence that kills humans, the existence that distorts the truth—for example, vampires and magicians."

"So, is it strange that I didn't realize that you are from the Church of the Holy Church?" Olga Marie clicked her tongue, and sat back on the sofa again, "You didn't react to so many magicians, you said you acted Do you look like someone from the Church of the Holy Church? Moreover, the information I got here also said that you have not had any intersection with mystery this year."

"No, I resigned the year before last."

Lixiang went to the freezer and dug out three bottles of water, and threw two of them at Matthew and Olga Marie.

"Okay, that's the end of my topic, it's not important anyway—let's exchange information."

"……before that."

After being hit by the bottle, Olga Marie, who was lying on the sofa, picked up the water that fell on the floor and looked up at Lixiang.

"Aren't you going to say something, you bastard, fake ordinary person!"

"...Sorry, I didn't expect you to be unable to catch it."

"What kind of apology is this kind of words that can only make people angry?!"

9. Ishimori Otaro / original work

■ Fuyuki Church Hidden Refuge

"That is to say... now Romani is the commander, because there is no other candidate, so you were [spirit transfer] to Fuyuki in 2004? Chaldeas turned red? How is it possible... no, since It’s just acceptable that it actually happened.”

Olga Marie pinched her frown as she felt a sharp stomachache.If there is ready-made stomach medicine on hand, she really wants to turn the world upside down.

"It's okay for Matthew, who was originally in Group A, why you, a fake ordinary person, became the master... No, I can't say that. Although you are a group of lunatics who don't understand the style, since you once worked in the Church of the Holy Church If so, the ability is still worth looking forward to.”

"It's hard to say. I resigned because I think I'm not capable enough, and I'm not a complete combat-specialized type. It's better not to expect it?"

"No way! Senior is very powerful!"

Hearing the conversations of the "reliable" teammates she might rely on next, Olga Marie felt the phantom pain in her stomach intensify a bit.

Are these two really reliable?People should not be saved.

"Forget it, even if you are unreliable as a fake person, we still have Matthew."

"me?"

"That's right. I don't know why, but you are now a Servant—to be more precise, a [Sub-Servant], right? If that's the case..."

"Teacher Olga Marie! I have a question!"

Seeing Lixiang's raised hand, Olga Marie couldn't help but sighed again.

I always feel like I'm going to lose my life.

"ask."

"What is a subservant?"

"Well, it's a serious question anyway. If you want to talk about sub-servants, you have to start with magic..."

"skip."

"what?"

"I used to be an intern of the church." Lixiang rolled her eyes at Olga Marie, "How could you not know what magic is?"

"Then from [Heroic Spirit]——"

"skip."

"You bastard!"

Olga Marie has blue veins popping out of her head.

If it wasn't for the feeling that she might not even be able to move, Olga Marie would have definitely gotten started.

"Even if you're so angry..." Lixiang looked at Olga Marie with a foolish look, "I used to be an intern in the Church of the Holy Church? How could I not know about the Holy Grail War and the Heroic Spirits? All I care about is [Associates] matter."

"I don't think there is any necessary connection between [practice in the church] and [knowing the Heroic Spirits and the Holy Grail War]. Even if the Holy Grail War is supervised by the Church, we are the ones who have been studying the Heroic Spirits for 11 years."

'I see, is there such a difference? '
