The night before, the day that terrible thing happened. Lisa, with a dull expression, looked down at the convulsing woman who had collapsed in front of her after being hit by a holy arrow. After watching everything in Munchie, she was still embarrassed by this situation.

Even though his usual demeanor was dirty, Priest Isaiah was upright at his best. However, since he did not return even after a while, she couldn’t help but feel anxious as she was working in the office. Because of this, even though it was time for him to go home and sleep by now, he led his followers and searched all over the village to find him.

And it must have been when I went back to the church with my soul gone, wondering if I really couldn’t find it.

“Ugh!”

Suddenly, a desperate scream is heard from somewhere. Thinking something might happen, she ran out and saw Priest Isaiah being held by a woman and shaking.

After cheering for finally finding him, seeing him in danger turned cold as if cold water had been poured over his head. Soon, the thought that had stopped for a moment quickly rotated, and without the slightest hesitation, he drew the string of the bow created with divine power.

Deeply-

The arrow went straight between the woman’s eyes.

The woman trembled from the electric shock that pierced her brain, and then Priest Isaiah, who made eye contact with her, stumbled forward and fell forward.

After somehow saving Priest Isaiah from the tramp’s clutches, she let out a buried sigh and glared at the woman who was still convulsing.

I wasn’t sure who it was, but one thing seemed certain. 이 개새끼가 사건의 주동자이며 내 물건에 함부로 손을 댔다는 것. Bishop Lisa, who was rolling her eyes back and forth and looking for something sharp to finish the job, found a small dagger lying on the floor and picked it up with a firm hand.

She aimed the blade at the guy’s neck and slit his throat without the slightest hesitation. The guy grabbed his neck and foamed at the mouth, begging for his life, but it didn’t take long before he let out a sigh and fell limp with the whites of his eyes exposed.

“Yes, priest!”

Believers who arrived at the scene late found Isaiah lying down and rushed to him. Lisa, she looked closely at his collapsed body, and soon her face gradually hardened.

‘Fuck… . What happened to me… .’

From head to toe, there was no sound. They were all red and bruised, so regardless of the context, it seemed like they needed immediate treatment.

Without even thinking about moving him to another place, she knelt on the bare floor and immediately placed her hands on Priest Isaiah’s body, drawing out divine power and reciting a recovery spell. A bluish-green light began to drift beneath his palms, wrapping his body warmly.

Then she turned her gaze and hurriedly shouted at Shindo, who was standing next to her.

“Sindo! Please go to the church now and get the remaining holy water quickly! Come on!”

“Ah, yes! Okay!”

If he survived being beaten like this, it was a miracle. As she healed Priest Isaiah, drawing on all the divine power she could use in a day, sweat began to form on her forehead at some point.

“Ugh… .”

Priest Isaiah shivers from the cold. Because the treatment was urgent, I forgot for a moment that he was naked.

‘I’ll cover myself…’ . I’ll cover it. I need it… .’

He turns his head in a hurry, looking for something to cover up even if it’s too late. However, since I couldn’t find anything that could cover his body, I was thinking about taking the clothes of the believers to cover him.

“Is this okay?”

“Ah, yes… . Thank you.”

A silver-haired woman readily steps forward, takes off her robe, and wraps it around him. It was the woman who had been confronting the guy who had been holding Priest Isaiah hostage just a moment ago.

“Did you save me?”

“Yes… . Somehow, by chance, we ran into each other. It looks like he’s from church… . hmm… . Are you a bishop?”

She guesses it right away just by looking at the rosary hanging around her neck. He became alert and looked the silver-haired woman up and down.

Looking at her attire, she seemed to be nothing more than an adventurer, but if you were able to figure out her location just by looking at her rosary, she wasn’t an average person.

But that’s not what’s important now… .

“First of all, can we find out what happened?”

“Yes, I understand.”

When she heard everything that had happened while treating him, she felt like her thoughts were falling apart. I never thought such a terrible thing would happen to me.

‘this… . Those who will tear you to death… .’

I just shouldn’t have killed him. I should have saved him and made him suffer more… . Regret came flooding back to me.

But what has already happened cannot be undone. I turned my gaze and shot a sharp look at the corpses that couldn’t even feel warmth.

And she spoke to the believers in a voice filled with anger.

“Burn it all. The Lord will personally punish those scum later.”

“Yes.”

“And… . If possible, try not to let the parish hear what happened today. If we get involved for no reason, it will only hurt us. I will finish it on my own terms.”

“Yes, Bishop… .”

With those words, the believers exchange glances and begin to move busily. I quickly cleaned up the area, pushing the bodies of the guy lying messy on the side of the road to the edge.

Anyway, if you find out directly from the parish, things get complicated. One way or another, judging by the badges on the chests of the dead guys, they were all members of the Eusteny Guild. If we were not careful, it could have escalated into a holy war between the Holy Spirit Church and former warrior colleagues, so that had to be avoided.

therefore… . To prevent something like that from happening, she planned to silence the children under her first.

“Hey adventurer?”

“Yes… ?”

“I hope you can talk about today’s story well with Raina.”

“Yes, I understand… .”

“And… . If possible, I hope this incident does not turn into a fight with our denomination. We’ll keep our mouths shut too… . Please take care of me.”

“… .”

With a grin, he sends a warning of his own to the adventurer woman in front of him. Since it was clear who would suffer the loss if the situation escalated, she also nodded silently.

@@@@@

So back to the present… .

Clap-

After finishing all the treatment and confirming that Priest Isaiah had woken up, she quietly walked out the door. Perhaps because I stayed up all day treating him, I felt dizzy for a moment and my vision wavered and I had to point to the wall.

“Ha… . Why am I because of that bastard… .”

I don’t know if I should be bothered.

To be honest, Priest Isaiah did nothing wrong. Since he was the victim, there was nothing to blame. However, an unknown anger was burning inside her, and she could hardly suppress her emotions.

‘That’s why I told you to take good care of yourself… .’

In the end, I think it’s like the accumulated karma has exploded. In particular, in the Adventurer’s Guild, Priest Isaiah was famous for being a man who would treat people well whenever they asked for something, so it could be said that they also planned and moved in detail.

‘I can’t keep this locked away… .’

It was complicated.

If Priest Isaiah had been a commoner or a commoner walking around on the streets, they would have locked him up in the basement of the church and preyed on him over and over again.

However, he was clearly a pastor who dedicated his life to Amanes, so there were so many people around him looking at him. There were dozens of people looking for him every day, so it was obvious that if he didn’t show up even for a day, the village would already be in an uproar with stories about him.

And if that happens, it only takes a moment for the church to turn upside down like it did yesterday… .

‘Then, should I at least cast a location tracking spell…? ?’

It’s not that I didn’t think about it. I tried several times, but when I tried, I ended up shaking my head again. If you attach this to Priest Isaiah’s body, you will find out where he is hanging out with women, but the problem is whether you can tolerate seeing that.

It’s easier said than done to pretend not to know even though you know, but if you witness the scene with your own eyes… . At that time, I didn’t have the confidence to maintain my senses.

If he couldn’t control his anger, which was boiling like lava, he could have killed the other woman, no matter who it was.

“Ha… .”

As she continued to think about this and that, she suddenly found herself in front of the church’s main gate. Even though a high-ranking person came, instead of feeling nervous, all I could think about was him all day… . It wasn’t like she was a girl in love, so I couldn’t help but laugh.

‘I’m really stupid too… . What’s so good about a guy like that… .’

That’s when she opened the door wide, intending to quickly finish her work and go back to be by Priest Isaiah’s side.

Heehee-

A majestic carriage made of dark wood fills the field of vision with the sound of horses touring. When she saw the bright colors and embossed patterns here and there, she felt her hair stand on end.

Clap-

“It’s been a while. Bishop Lisa.”

Then, the carriage door opens and the figure of an old woman comes into her eyes. She has fine wrinkles and white hair that has not withstood the ravages of time. Dressed in a dress that dragged down to the floor, she smiled softly at Bishop Lisa.
