“That's because I'm not used to it.”
Throughout her life, Diarin never left anyone she was attached to.
My whole family is alive and well, and I have been in touch with the priests close to me at the temple.
Even if I moved to another temple, it wasn't too difficult to contact and meet the priests.
There is frequent exchange between temples, and when there is a big event, priests are recruited from all over the world, so they can meet often.
Let someone go.
It's just that I can't do it because I haven't tried it.
Moreover, we have been living together in one place for a long time.
It's like that because it's a lifestyle.
Like an old hairbrush that has been used for a long time.
Deyarin left the palace door, imagining the moment in which she would one day throw away her old hairbrush that had lost all its teeth.
M.M.: You mean the hairbrush that lost her teeth
* * *
“Hello, where is Priestess Dyaren. I have heard many stories about how you followed the ruler’s will with all your heart and body.”
“I just followed the governor’s will.”
“Everyone follows the ruler’s will. But some of them follow him well, and there are those who cannot follow him well even if they try.”
Dearyn tilted her head in praise of the high priest she had not seen in a long time.
'Really?'
They say that if you get praised, you should always do something more.
Granted. It was suspicious. I was anxious and anxious.
“Come and sit. It was hard to come this long way. Would you like a cup of tea?”
“Compared to the battlefield, it was closer to next door.”
“Thank you for considering my surprise call without difficulty.”
“…….”
Even though I know it's not what it seems, it's very normal.
The High Priest was not just anyone.
The basic requirement was the impudence and audacity to know the other person's true feelings while pretending not to know and interpreting them as he wished.
Diaren thought deeply that she still had a long way to go.
“Since the Governor chose Priestess Deyaren, I have firmly believed that Priestess Deyaren has great power. The situation is still difficult, but I cannot tell you how proud I am that the Governor’s name has come to light.”
What I meant was that you were very satisfied because I performed better than you expected.
“I just did what the governor told me to do.”
At times like this, it was because I was good, and it was a chance to paint my face at least once.
However, Dayarin gave an almost official answer.
I didn't have the motivation to do it.
All I could think about was why I was calling and why I wanted to return to the palace so quickly.
This thought came to my mind from the moment I entered the temple.
The High Priest raised his eyebrows at Dearyn's insincere answer.
How much did you argue about terms before starting work?
“But you even praised me for doing a good job, but you don’t want anything from me?”
“Or, if you throw it first, we'll start bargaining from there.”
In this case, it would be better for both parties to complete the transaction quickly.
“It seems that the ruler also thought carefully about this thought. He gave us many things with the aim of spreading the will of the ruler in the future.”
“Did you receive a lot of donations?”
“……A lot, hmm!”
Since I've been with Sirius, direct speech has become my language.
I was nervous and responded to the greeting, but as soon as I relaxed for a moment, I burst into laughter.
But the words that were already spoken, Deyarin did not even bother to correct them.
"from?" (Diyarin)
“Does it matter who?”
"Yes."
If I had known, I would have gotten into complicated matters, wouldn't I? warning.
Even before Deyarin took this job, she had been mysteriously hiding it this way.
However, when it came to care, Deyarin also had something to point to.
“Third Prince?”
“……uh uh.”
The High Priest was shaken by the power of the unexpected information shown by Dearyn.
Retaining information means getting closer to power.
“I thought you would because you promised support, but you seem to have given it too generously.”
There was also money given personally to Deyarin and supplies for the palace.
However, it seemed that His Highness the Third Prince was a more generous person than I thought.
M.M.: What the third prince did not understand was the one who was supplying the temple with money, Alamud Siris
“I am happy that the Third Prince understands and follows the ruler’s will. Therefore, I ask Priestess Dearen to continue to take care of me until the ruler’s will is fully fulfilled.”
"Good……."
Only then did Dearyn read the true intentions of the High Priest.
That's how I found out the background I didn't really want to know.
From the beginning, it was true that this project was proposed by the Third Prince.
'So.'
Charlotte had mentioned something about the opposition of those around her.
After seeing how it worked, I liked it and paid more than I expected.
The longer it takes, the more money will come.
Let us do our best work even if it takes a long time.
For a long time, slowly.
This was the gist of what the High Priest said.
“Long, long, slow, until it's perfect.”
I don't know when that will be, but it will be a long time anyway.
The High Priest did not know what state Sirius was in now.
If it was a mad dog like the initial rumor, then Dearyn was told to stick with the mad dog as long as possible and sacrifice herself.
He very proudly asked for her sacrifice.
Deyarin abandoned the idea of finishing him harshly and returning quickly.
“I'm going to have to work hard and pretend I don't know anything about this.”
Now I can't just pass the upgrade.
"I also want to follow the ruler's will for a long time. What could be more honorable to a priest than that?"
“I thought that given the deep faith of Priestess Dyaren, this would be the case.”
"But there are times when I regret that my humble human body is not enough to follow the ruler's profound will. Why do people have to earn a living?"
Even though I eat well and live well, to the point where I'm slowly gaining weight in places I can't see.
People did not necessarily have to fill their stomachs to live.
You have to fill your heart with luxury and vanity to live as a human being.
Thanks to the support of the Third Prince who sent her to the palace, her life became better, but Dayaren did not have much to take care of from her pocket.
My pocket is hungry too, High Priest.
“……Naturally, there should be no shortcomings in carrying out this will with the human body. This is the responsibility of the temple maintained by humans.”
Come on, let me go.
"Thank you."
Now that Diaren was a beautiful girl who earned money, there was nothing I couldn't give her.
I'm willing to take care of you more as long as you do better.
I don't know about Dyaren, but there were a lot of failures.
M.M.: Here the high priest is speaking
The 8th Squad member who went completely insane and had no choice but to kill, the 8th Squad member who killed the priest, the 8th Squad member who escaped and harmed civilians, etc.
When I got involved with the crazy dogs, I was constantly getting into trouble.
I should have refused from the beginning, saying there was a shortage of manpower, but it was the project that worried me all along.
It was clear that if we did well we would break even, but if we did not our losses would be huge.
If it were not for the justification that “the temple loves and embraces all people.”
Even if she failed, it was enough to show off and give up, but Dayaren did so well that she requested additional care.
The High Priest had no choice but to feel generous.
“Oh, and.”
Dayaren, who was standing, suddenly stopped.
While I was coming to the temple, there was something I wanted to discover.
“Can I go to the Magic Hall?”
“……a witch doctor’s office?”
Priests can use magic.
Magic did not necessarily require the use of divine power.
The effect could be much greater if it was used using divine power, but there was also the power of the spell itself.
However, if anyone overuses this power, it seems less sacred.
Therefore, only a very few priests were able to reach the Magic Hall.
The priests who had access to the Magic Hall learned the magic they needed and taught it to ordinary priests.
For example, one type of healing spell is taught to priests deployed in combat zones.
Even if magic was taught, it was very difficult for priests to sell magic privately because the components needed for it were also managed by the temple.
Since it was a commercial tool for temple maintenance, it had to be carefully maintained.
“Yes, there are signs of magic, but I think it will be difficult for me to solve them. I would like to find a solution in the shaman.”
“Ah……hmm…….”
The high priest was worried.
Let us trust that Deyarin is an honest priestess who is not concerned with self-interest...it was impossible. Because that cannot be possible.
It was impossible that a priestess who was good at handling promotions and money would not have a personal interest.
Seems like a threat to add magic as a reward…….
“If you have a problem, I don’t mind taking the warrior to the temple and trying to solve the problem together...”
"It can't be trouble! Take what you want!"
She was also good at threatening. Fucking bitch.
The High Priest was a man whose life was precious.
Before Deyarin's words could go on, he gave his approval.
"…… Yes."
Dearyn shrugged.
I really thought that if we could figure out how to perform a spell related to Sirius' memories, it would be acceptable for multiple people to work together.
My dog has become a good dog now.
Even if they live side by side with humans, they neither bark nor bite.
This means he has become a really good dog.
The high priest, who did not realize this, scolded her.
But since I got what I wanted, I've stopped bragging about my dog.
Instead of bragging about it now, I thought it would be better to show it all at once when he became a truly great master.
“Then, I will stop at the Magic Hall and come back.”
Diaren took this route and found a witch doctor's office.
