I did not know the pink haired nuns na. And if I were to ask, the fact that I didnt know her would reveal my identity. So, I was going along with the flow and following along.
Phew, we made it before it started.
People were going inside the temple, as if they were still about to start, and we saw so soldiers being guided by a nun as they ca outside.
Then, we ask you to please be on the lookout.
Yes, of course.
The soldiers got outside, peeked at us, then went past.
You ca just in ti, sisters.
The young nun who found us bowed her head slowly.
Yes, it was close, right?
Because the pink-haired lady bowed, I bowed too.
Did you hear? The soldier said that there is so frightening dual specin criminal who is going around wearing our robe.
Oh, so that was why the soldiers were here. I bowed my head as much as I could. Although my ears were hidden, if they realized that they didnt recognize my face, I would be in trouble.
We t soldiers on our way, and they said sothing along the sa line.
Oh my, how could an unholy being dare to act as one of us? They will definitely get the anger of the emperor and be executed painfully.
How could she say such things with a smile?
Umm, we have to go inside soon.
I thought that the conversation was getting too long and reminded them. The nuns made an exclamation like ah.
Look at . Lets get inside now.
So the pink haired lady and I were trying to get inside.
One mont.
But the nun at the front of the door stopped us.
I hope that you do not take offense, but there was an order by the director to check every nun for their identity.
Things got annoying. Still, it shouldnt be a big problem with the pink hair around.
Do we both have to do it?
But the way that the pink hair spoke was a bit odd. It wasnt obvious, but it was a voice that was testing the other person.
Dont be too nervous. All you have to do is to morize our common prayer.
Oh, I see. I thought we had to do sothing more complicated.
The pink hair let out a sigh of relief. Okay. All I have to do is copy whatever she says.
You go first.
Tap.
Heh?
But the pink hair nudged on.
M?
I looked at the pink hair in shock, but she just smiled.
Dont be so nervous. Umyou are.
The nun in front of made a puzzled face after seeing my face. I would be caught at this rate.
Fine, Ill do it. What do I have to do?
From my question, the nun in front made an apologetic face.
I apologize. I dont recall all the nas of the sistersyou know the prayer that we do every morning? Thats all.
Even though she described it simply, there was no way that I would know. Had the pink hair already noticed that I was not a nun? Was that why she made go first?
Sister?
The face of the nun who asked was turning from one of apology to suspicion. Should I run? No. I have to think. It had to be in the novel sowhere. Also, I rembered one prayer related to the church of the Emperor.
We thank the emperor today for providing us with the food we eat and for his generosity.
There was one prayer that was said before als. This was unforgettable, since Arje recited it every morning before she ate.
Yes, you know. For a mont I thought you were that evil criminal claiming to belong to the church of the emperor!
The nun in front laughed graciously while covering her mouth. I would have been caught if I was a second late.
Haha, no way
I tried to laugh as graciously as Arje did. This was no easy thing to do. How did Arje smile and talk like this everyday?
Then we will head in first, sister.
The pink hair went inside as she nudged my back as if she had been waiting for this mont.
One mont!
As I felt when she first grabbed , this pink haired nun was so strong that to prevent from falling, I had to keep moving forward.
Phew. That was close, right?
When we got inside, the pink hair removed her hand from my back and laughed as if nothing had happened.
I thought pinkI an sister would recite the prayer.
When I complained, the pink hair winked and made an apologetic gesture.
Sorry. I forgot the prayer for a mont.
Forgot? A prayer? As an actual nun? Sothing that even Arje does daily?
How do you forget such a thing?
I asked with a surprised tone, but the pink lady just laughed.
I am called the forgetter here. I always get in trouble from the director nun. So when we recited in the morning, I just sync my lipsoh by the way, this is a secret, okay? I will be disappointed if you tell anyone else.
The pink hair sighed and looked at . Her eyes were expecting to understand, so I pretended to know the infamous forgetter and made a ohhh exclamation.
Yes. This will be our little secret.
Anyways, since I had got her weakness, I would use this to threaten her if I were to get caught later.
Ring! Ring!
As we were talking, we heard the bell ring. It was probably announcing the start of mass.
We are going to be late. Lets go.
When we got inside, there were long chairs densely packed greeting us. The chairs were really long, but people were still cramd and so were even sitting on the floor from how crowded it was. Was this the power of the Church of The Emperor?
Sisters, please have a seat. The bishop will be here soon!
When we just stood still, the sister who had questioned us pointed towards the altar. There seed to be chairs prepared for the nuns near the altar.
Heh?
But there were no chairs. I then realized that the nuns kneeled next to the altar and had their hands on top of their knees.
Ugh
As I sat next to the sisters, it felt like punishnt. And the mass that seed like it was about to start took forever to start. I looked around to see if I was the only uncomfortable one ehre, and from how peaceful the other nuns faces were, they were probably used to sitting like this in every mass. How much longer did I have to stay like this? My legs were going to fall asleep.
The bishop is coming. Please all stand.
Finally the nun all the way in the front announced loudly and everyone stood up. Because all the nuns also got up, I was finally able to massage my legs.
Sister, be still.
One of the nuns next to be nagged at while glaring, as if she caught moving.
.sorry.
This was just too much. Should I just go outside?
And we thank all who have co to join us for the glory of the emperor.
In the center of the altar, a middle-aged man with a plump face wearing a white robe with complex gold embroidery greeted the churchgoers as he lightly tapped the staff onto the floor.
Sister, please stay still.
What? I was still?
Sorry, my whole body is a bit too sore to be still.
This was not talking. It was the pink-haired nun next to talking. I an, I can understand the forgetful part, but could she not even stay still? How was she a nun?
Huh? After this I will talk to you in the punishnt ro..
The pink hair jumped on top of the altar all of the sudden when the naggy nun was about to continue.
Hmmm?
And the speed at which she ran to the bishop was not ordinary, and she was as fast as a bunny.
Thud!
The pink hair attacked the bishop right away, and he fell backwards.
bishop!!
There was no one who could understand this situation, from the nuns to the guards and all the church goers.
Khukk!
And the bishop flapped as he coughed up blood. There was a dagger inside his throat in an instant.
Phew.
The pink hair got up and smiled towards my direction as if she had just taken a great dump.
Thanks, common species.
Common species? ? Common? Rabbitman? Was she the sa one who lured out?
Grab her!
Finally, the guards who realized what was going on ran towards the pink haired nun, I an the pink haired bunny to catch her, but even as a bunny myself, her movents were spectacular. It was as if I was watching a circus show.
Uh..
I had no idea what was going on, but this seed like the right ti to get out of here.
The nun who ca with that murderer is right here!
At that mont, the nagging nun pointed at once again.
?
I pretended to be clueless, but
She might be an accomplice! Get her!
People ran towards right away. I was going to pull out my sword, but I couldnt since all the nuns who were next to grabbed .
Ouch! It hurts! Ouch! Be gentle! I said, be gentle!!
And so I was seized by nuns.
