At first, I thought it was just a coincidence and left Visi alone.

There are a lot of people who may seem sloppy to me, but to other people, they could be called big shots. Get up and go find them. It’s going to be incredibly burdensome.

In particular, Fabi will look like the Grim Reaper from Vichy’s point of view, but there is no need to do so. However, Bisi continued to look at me even as several minutes passed.

At this point, it’s clear that I have business. Even if it’s an illusion, I can’t complain.

After asking for my friends’ understanding, I got up and stood in front of Bisi, who was embarrassed and didn’t know what to do.

“Ah. Lady Aln?”

“The bridesmaid girl. Aren’t you too shy? She glances like a girl in her first love.”

“…Yes. Yes?”

“Ah. I’m sorry if you have a crush on me. Because it’s wrong to be too cute and pretty.”

“It’s not like that?!”

Bisi, who was screaming loudly, hastily adjusted her posture as her friends looked at her.

They’re probably just watching to see what’s going on, but why is their face so pale?

Isn’t he too scared?

“The bridesmaid girl. Then what did you come for?”

“Ah. I. That’s because of Adri.”

For some reason, I thought I couldn’t see Adri. Is this a problem related to Adri?

After hearing her story, I took her arm and headed inside the building.

Stories related to spirits are not something to be shared in front of others.

Visius is nothing more than a sloppy, half-baked necromancer, so it’s harmless, but the evil that true necromancers engage in is on a different level. Necromancy is not considered taboo for no reason.

Because of this perception of necromancers, the suppression of necromancers is also at a different level.

If the background in the game remained the same, the moment it was revealed that it was related to necromancy, not only Vichy but also her family would be finished.

Knowing her, I took a private room to chat comfortably with Visi, blocked the sound with the seal that Karia gave me, and sat across from her.

“What happened to the lonely old lady?”

“This time, the saint defeated the followers of the evil spirit.”

“For a poor saint, I tried my best. But why is that?”

“Because of that, the priests of the church are actively working.”

The last time a follower of an evil spirit appeared on the streets, it came as a great shock to the people of the church.

The evil god’s followers have infiltrated the street where they are staying, and they don’t even notice it!

If it weren’t for the saint, wouldn’t we have been abused by madmen who follow evil spirits without knowing anything?

Priests who roughly went through this way of thinking began to patrol the streets voluntarily and intentionally with lights on in their eyes.

Those who desperately walked the streets, determined not to allow the same thing to happen again, tried not to allow even the slightest injustice to exist on the streets.

“Adri’s mansion was no exception.”

Adri, an excellent necromancer, always kept his energy hidden.

Now she is a ghost who has let go of both hatred and greed and enjoys wandering the world next to Vichy. He has tried not to do anything that would threaten his existence.

Until now, Adri had been successful in deceiving the church, but not anymore. The patrols of the main church priests were increasingly threatening Adri’s neck.

“I’m hiding underground now, but I wonder how long I can stay like this.”

After listening to Vichy’s explanation, I crossed my arms and thought deeply.

There will be no decrease in patrols by priests in the future. The evil god’s followers will desperately target the academy, and as their struggles become more severe, security will become tighter.

How did Adri survive in the game?

I don’t think something like this ever happened when this was a game in the first place?

Realizing that I had nothing to refer to, I decided to meet Adri and talk. I felt like something would come out only if I heard his opinion.

So I left the academy and went out onto the street, catching people’s stares and chewing my lips.

Being the center of attention from other people is something I am used to.

Since I first set foot in this world, I have always lived under the gaze of others.

However, the gaze I am receiving now feels very different from the gaze I usually receive.

That’s because the interest in the people’s gaze towards me now was clear.

“A lady that that person knew?”

“I think you are prettier in person than the jewelry.”

“Is this person really the main character of many rumors? Isn’t something wrong?”

“If you saw that person in social circles, you would never say something like that.”

“Do not approach out of curiosity. You may experience some hardships.”

“…If you are that kind of person, it would be okay to be stepped on. Huh.”

Just how big of an impact are the Arts Church’s accessories having?

I was receiving people’s attention with a mixture of interest and wariness, and it was only when I ran away and arrived at Adri’s mansion that I was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

I never thought the day would come when I would be thankful for the mess Lucy made in the past.

If it weren’t for the reputation Lucy had built up in the past, people on the street would have all rushed at me.

…Now that it’s like this, I guess I should make a fuss in advance. If you don’t create an atmosphere in which it is difficult to approach in advance, something terrible may happen.

I shuddered at the thought that the scene of the art denomination might be recreated, and I seriously considered going out into the social world and making a fuss.

“Why did you come?”

“Hiyak?!”

He let out a shaky voice when he saw Adri sticking out through the floor.

“Sigh. Haha! what! Cheeky little boy! Are you scared too?!”

“…Noisy. A loner with a bad temper.”

“Yes~ At least the scream I let out just now is still the same~ Hiyak?! Big. Sigh.”

When I heard Adri’s sneer, I frowned slightly, but then smiled back.

“I came here because I heard it was dangerous, but it doesn’t seem to be urgent?”

“…Ah.”

“Isn’t it? Do you want to rest comfortably now? Then I can purify it for you. Huh?”

When I slightly lifted the divinity of the main deity and brought it to Adri, she was scared and took a step back.

“What. what! Why is it darker than before?! What happens during vacation?”

“Why are you running away? A lonely old lady? Didn’t you want to die?”

“I’m already dead?! And I specifically! Argh! Wrong! I’m sorry I did something wrong! Okay!?”

“Grandma. Wasn’t he noble? Why don’t you know the rules of etiquette when apologizing?”

Adri, who was blankly watching me take out the mace, trembled around his eyes and eventually bowed down.

“Sorry…I’m sorry. I was rude.”

“Hmm. I still don’t like it, but since I’m old, I’ll let this go this time. Ah~ I’m really nice?”

After repaying what happened earlier by patting the top of my head, I checked the current situation with Adri, who was shaking his shoulders as if he couldn’t control his anger.

“It hurts my pride, but it’s dangerous to stay in the mansion any longer. If the bishop level pops up, I can’t help it.”

I guess so. No matter how excellent Adri is a necromancer, there is compatibility. The moment Adri confronts a bishop-level priest without proper preparation, he will only be purified.

“And then. Kid, what on earth have you done to have trinkets with your picture on them floating around the streets? The picture of you being loved by the Lord is a danger in itself!”

In addition, the gradually spreading accessories of the art sect also became a problem for Adri.

The ornament depicting me, the apostle of the Lord, was in itself performing the role of a sacred object.

It’s something I didn’t know about at all, but it’s not surprising.

Aside from my paintings, the people who made those accessories are members of the Art Church.

As priests, any accessory that reflects their passion can naturally serve as a holy relic.

…Could this be the big picture drawn by the poor master?

If I didn’t know about Lord Heojeop, I would have admired his wisdom, but I have seen the ugly side of Lord Heojeop too many times.

If you’re a shabby pedo pervert, you might just want my goods. If you think about it, it’s more likely that you got caught accidentally while following your own desires.

“Anyway, the situation is the worst. There is no place on Academy Street.”

Raising my head at Bisi’s annoyed tone, I shrugged my shoulders and opened my mouth.

“Then you can go somewhere else. I guess it’s because I’m scared of the outside. Grandmother?”

“If you leave this mansion, your connection with Vichy will be lost! I can’t leave that child who is still so clumsy!”

It was a situation in which he was not allowed to leave Academy Street, even to help Vichy, but Adri, who was likely to be purified someday if he stayed inside Academy Street, was a headache even for me as a third party.

However, from my point of view, there was no suitable way. This is where Adri stays now that it is difficult to escape the gaze of the church no matter where you go on Academy Street.

ah.

Good idea.

It’s a good idea for Adri and for me.

“Grandma. There is a good place for spirits who like dark and humid places.”

“Good place?”

*

“…There was a place like this?”

What I guided Adri to was the hidden basement of the Academy Graduate School, where he had stopped by a few months ago to obtain a shield.

This place, which is impossible to enter without the stone tablet, is a place whose existence is difficult to even guess unless you are the people who were there at the time.

If Adri hides here, no matter how good a priest he is, he won’t be able to find her. That is, unless Adri himself goes out to kill him and appease him.

“It’s okay. I especially like the way the unclean energy gathers in secret.”

“I knew so. The old lady is like a cockroach, so I thought she would like a place like this.”

“…Ugh!”

Adri seemed to have a lot to say, but couldn’t bring himself to tell me what to say.

The difference in compatibility between me and her is stark! She can’t be defeated by force, and she can’t be defeated by a cause, so she’s in a position where she has to endure no matter what I say!

Looking at the writhing old woman, I couldn’t help but want to tease her until she exploded, but I suppressed that feeling.

From now on, I have something to ask you, but it’s a bit awkward to say it while you’re so pissed off.

There will be a lot of things to tease Adri in the future, so let’s put it off until later.

“Lonely old lady.”

“What is it?”

“You have nothing to do except stalk your bridesmaids, right?”

“…Why is that?”

“I wanted you to walk around the academy a bit while following the bridesmaids around.”

Although there is an informant named the Dean, he cannot hear secret stories. Because he is just an outsider.

But not Adri. As a commander, she can hear other people’s secret stories.

That’s assuming you don’t get caught.

“You can do it, right?”

“I don’t like it. I came here to avoid something dangerous, but why…”

Adri, who had been spitting out words of refusal, tried to smile when he saw the divinity gathering in my hand.

“should be done. no. I have to do it. yes. I’ll do it. I’ll do my best.”

Adri, who bowed his head politely and said he would do his best to be helpful, followed through on his words shortly after the academy opened.

By bringing information that those included in the First Queen’s forces are trying to test me.
