Saying it out loud is a spell that gathers the magical power of the atmosphere and turns it into flame.

Since the spell is part of the laws of the world discovered by human wizards, the spell simply creates fire.

However, the wizard decided to harm people by chanting such spells.

“Lavar Cigar Rest Blick…”

I’m not the one to see that.

The guy is shamelessly reciting a spell even though his arm is being held by me.

The way to subdue a close-range wizard is simple.

Sigh!

“Ugh!”

When I punched him in the face, he stopped chanting and started screaming. At the same time, the flames generated in the hand immediately went out.

“No, common sense dictates that if you openly recite a spell, who will be watching you?”

“You lowly bastard! Lavar Cigar Rest…”

puck!

I tried to recite the spell again, so I punched him once more.

“It’s prohibited to use within the unit?”

Although I warned him once more, he is a proud nobleman and a wizard.

The guy who showed his arrogance squared did not stop.

Even though the guy was bleeding from his nose, he still didn’t seem to understand what I was saying and tried the spell again.

“Lavard Cigars…!”

Sigh!

A fist stopping another spell.

Now, I have a claymore that nullifies Thistle’s magic, a fist that rivals Spell Breaker.

Even though his nose was bleeding, he glared at me and tried to recite the spell again.

“…Lava”

Sigh!

So I punched him again.

I thought I hit only his face too much, so I hit his solar plexus just enough not to kill him, and he lowered his head.

Once I got to this point, it was time to think that it would be better to swing my fist rather than recite a spell, but I guess I still didn’t get enough hits.

At that moment, the guy who had lowered his head raised his face again.

“… Stop now”

puck!

This time, seeing that the spell was different, it looked like he was trying to change to a shorter spell, so I struck him quickly again. He’s a guy with more grit than I thought.

“No, that’s not it…”

Sigh!

A wizard should never be given a chance to memorize a spell. It’s a long experience.

“…”

Sigh!

“No, why!”

This time I just slapped it. I don’t like the look in your eyes.

However, with that displeasing look in his eyes, he finally shut up and protested.

“Uh, wasn’t that just an order? I thought it was some sort of secret chanting magic or something.”

In a fight, you always have to assume the worst.

‘Or not.’

When I finally let go of the wizard’s arm that had shut his mouth, the wizard fell to the ground.

Then I heard a sound that made me believe my ears.

“That’s enough. Bishop. I don’t know how to repay the bishop for his sincere help.”

‘Why is he like this again?’

Peria seemed to have gone crazy after being slapped, and came towards me, using a polite word.

“What’s going on?”

At that time, Legion Commander Helias came up behind me.

‘Oh, I see. Did he act like that because he was a corps commander?’

The Duke’s second son, who saw this, runs towards the corps commander with a bloody nose as if asking when he had given in.

“Legion Commander Helias! You’ve arrived just in time! This person used violence against me!”

“Wow. I’m really embarrassed even though it’s not my job. What is that, really.”

Ayla, who was watching, covered her eyes with her hands as she saw her nose bleeding and asking for help from the corps commander.

“…Tsk!”

When the corps commander saw the duke’s second son, he clicked his tongue and then turned his gaze to me.

No matter who sees it, he acts like he has something to do with me rather than whining.

“What brings you here, Commander?”

Be polite and ask about business.

Ball is ball and life is death.

At a drinking party, you may have spoken informally under the influence of alcohol, but you shouldn’t do that here.

“I came because I wanted to meet your rookie Deshade and have something to talk about. It just so happens that you are there too. That’s good, since we met, let’s go in together.”

“Heh, Helias Legion Commander?”

“There’s blood, so get away from me. The kid from Zeke Hill.”

‘Things are going pretty well here.’

The corps commander does not appear to be very welcoming of the Duke’s second son.

People and other wizards were also amazed to see him like that.

“Corps Commander! Why don’t you listen to me! It’s me! This is Sieghill Etouzanne Macren!”

The corps commander grabs the second son by the collar and lifts him up.

“Big, wow!”

“I know, you bastard. But that’s it. In my unit, anyone who uses magic without my permission is a serious crime. If things were to go the way they were supposed to, they would have put you in jail right away, but they’re letting you see it now. Shut up and go do your business.”

“And I will not sit still in the Dukedom! I will formally complain about this disrespect!… Now, wait a minute! Wow!”

The corps commander must not have liked what his second son said, raising it higher and speaking.

“Yes. It looks like you don’t know yet with your blood-less head, so I’ll tell you. I’m just coming from interrogating that Terraim guy who is on such good terms with your Sieghill family. Evidence of a rebellion was found in his room, as well as a book related to the devil hidden in his dorm.”

The second son’s face, which had been red just a moment ago, began to cool down.

“Well, that can’t be possible! Terraim is an honorary elder! You probably had it because it was an item that shouldn’t fall into the hands of demons! And the charge of mutiny is nonsense! It must be a conspiracy!”

“I decide whether it makes sense or not. If you don’t want your remaining assets confiscated, go quietly. Everyone knows that your family fully supports Terraim.”

The corps commander placed his second son on the ground.

“Ugh… That’s it! You are making a mistake!”

The second son said that and disappeared from the spot, taking with him someone who appeared to be his attendant.

The corps commander did not even look back at his second son, but instead asked me to wait for a moment and walked towards Peria.

“Are you okay? Ms. Trickster. The guests who visited my unit were all the same, and I ended up harming them by not managing them properly.”

“It’s okay. I don’t know what to do with the corps commander himself worrying about me.”

‘I’m not really used to it.’

I know that one of them is a regular guy, and the other is an old man who talks about his life story at a bar and gives me advice, but seeing them be so polite to each other makes me feel angry.

The corps commander takes out a handkerchief and hands it to Peria, who says it’s okay, and says softly.

“Because it’s a fight for my food bowl. Those damn bastards should have been caught earlier. Do you have time later? I also have information that I would like to buy from you.”

‘That’s the point.’

The position of corps commander may be busier than you think.

Since he has to manage the army, fight political conflicts, and even interrogate traitors, he may think that meeting the trickster Peria was a good opportunity for him.

“As long as you have enough money. I didn’t plan on doing business later today, but if it’s the corps commander’s job, of course I have to make time for it. When would be a good time?”

“I will ask you a favor right after we finish talking. Please wait here for a moment.”

“Okay. Then I will be waiting here for you.”

“Soul Soldier, please help me sort out this trickster and come in right away.”

“I will.”

After finishing his story, Helias was about to pass by me when he saw Aila and stopped.

“… Have we ever met somewhere?”

“Huh? me? no. I don’t know?”

“…Okay.”

After a quieter-than-expected conversation, the corps commander went straight into the tent where Deshade and Thistle were.

As soon as the sight disappears, Peria collapses on the desk.

“Phew. I met some crazy guy and almost died. They say this is why I hate nobles.”

“Are you okay? You didn’t get burned, right?”

“Yes. Thanks to you brother. Actually, if my brother wasn’t there, I thought I would just stab him in the arm with a dagger and jump, but I trusted him and stayed quiet.”

I wondered why Peria was so quiet, but it seemed like she had already made up her mind about the worst.

If I hadn’t stepped forward, things would have become more of a hassle.

“Ugh… I saved him because he was my partner.”

“Yes. That’s it! I wanted something like that. Hehe.”

The word that Peria likes so much is partner.

It seems like it’s a word he likes quite a bit, as he seems to like it when I bring up the story of his business partner.

“That’s right. If your hair gets singed, it’s a big problem.”

Meanwhile, Aila is only worried about her hair.

While Eila was smoothing Peria’s hair, she seemed to come up with a good idea and made a suggestion to Peria.

“Ah! Then would you like me to be by your side as your escort? He might come back and try to do it again.”

“I would appreciate it if you said so. Actually, I was going to ask first because it was written in the contract, but thank you so much for taking the initiative.”

“… What on earth did you write in the contract?”

“Huh? Why are you curious about that? Nothing much. I just wrote about 50 provisions of one kind or another.”

It’s scary at this point.

But no matter how worried I was about Aila, I didn’t have time to ask about those provisions.

The corps commander has called me, so I have to go in right away.

I decided to leave Peria and Eila and go inside the tent.

“Then I can come in, right? Because I think it’s an important story.”

“Okay. Then, see you later in the evening.”

“Yes. Oh, and if you ever run into that noble guy again in his village, just run away. Even if a noble has no land and only a lot of money, a noble is still a noble. After listening to other people, it seems like he has a solid background.”

“Yes. I’ll be careful.”

After giving a firm warning to Peria, I went into the tent, leaving Aila and Peria who were starting to clean up.

“ came. Then let’s get started.”

Helias was sitting across from Deshade, and Thistle was standing next to him.

When I saw that, I felt like I needed to listen to what the church had to say, so I went and stood on the other side of Thistle.

When I took my seat, the corps commander was the first to say hello.

“My name is Legion Commander Helias. I would like to thank my subordinate for his rudeness and cooperation during the attack on Mongma’s castle the other day.”

It is called “Deshade. Nice to meet you, noble warrior. You have a great bowl.”

‘It’s noble.’

That’s how it looks in Deshade’s eyes.

I guess Deshade, a rookie who can see the shape of souls, is so great that he can be said to be great.

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“However, the damage to the dish is significant. It will be difficult to recover.”

“… You are saying the same thing as what was said in the Church of Gaia.”

“The damaged part is full of malice. As time passes, the curse will continue to eat away at you.”

“Thank you for your concern. Then let’s get to the point.”

Helias interrupts Deshade and changes the subject.

“As promised in advance, our 3rd Corps has decided to provide financial compensation to those who participated in the Mongma Castle strike force.”

“Thank you for keeping your promise.”

Thistle formally received the words of the corps commander.

The corps commander nodded lightly in a polite manner in response to Thistle’s answer, and then said something somewhat unexpected.

“However, in addition to that, a request came in from another side. This is such a big incident.”

“If you say it’s the other side…?”

“This is the Church of Gaia.”

‘Church of Gaia?’

This is something I never thought of.

The Gaia Church has neglected the Deshade Church until now.

Of course, that was only left as it was because the Deshade Church had only one believer.

They would never have thought that the only member of such a sect would successfully complete the ritual of manifestation and succeed in the feat of preventing the descent of the devil when all the high-ranking priests of the sect had left to take charge of the fall of the castle.

The request they made to our denomination makes me wonder if their intentions were pure.

Thistle seemed to be thinking the same thing and looked a little nervous.

The corps commander began speaking slowly compared to what he had said before in front of us.

“The Church of Gaia has strongly insisted that we should pay tribute to the Church of Deshade… for taking care of their absence while they left to defend the capital. So, since our corps could not ignore the Gaia Church’s request, we decided to accept their opinion and provide support and benefits to Deshade’s church. Because it seems more urgent.”

After saying that, the corps commander took out a document from his pocket and showed it to us.

“As of this time, until the church stabilizes, we will dispatch the squad of soul soldiers appointed by Deshade as bishop, the supply officers, and the soldiers below them as temporary knights to support the church.◦# ◦
