Episode 11.13
"W-wait"
"Please wait."
"Priest Casis. What should we do about this."
Priest Casis is looking up at Lecan with indecisive eyes.
"Lecan. This must an Eda is capable of the sa art, is she not."
Lecan had a slight expectation for Priest Casis changing his target to him after seeing his but that doesn't seem to be the case.
"Not the sa. It's weaker and more unstable. But it's qualitatively similar."
"Well then, this temple shall deem adventurer Eda's as being a blessing of the great god Ceres, and I propose adventurer Eda's admittance into priesthood apprenticeship."
"I approve of priest Casis's proposal. It's a birth of our new brethren."
"This ans that art will belong to our temple. Of course I agree."
"She's an imdiate asset. No, she will reach an even greater height eventually. I'm completely on board as well."
Only priest Pajill gave a slightly different conclusion.
"Adventurer Eda has not proved her art to have co from a blessing of great God Ceres. However, I shall give my approval if she wishes to admit herself into this temple's priesthood."
"The proposal has been approved by four to one. Adventurer Eda. You are hereby to be an apprentice priest of this temple."
"We refuse. "
"Lecan. We didn't ask for your opinion. Your role is done. Leave Eda here and off you go now."
Good grief, so it's co to this in the end anyway huh, thought Lecan.
But he doesn't regard this monkey show to be all in vain.
They responded to the temple's calling and gave sincere answers to their questions. And yet the temple would ignore Lecan's side, and attempt to capture Eda against her will, a fault not of their doing.
He had done everything he could have done to stay in this town. That must have been conveyed to Eda. And she must have realized the absurdity of these priests and the dreadfulness of the place called temples for sure. On top of that, perhaps she's learned a little on the way of arguntative debate. Though Lecan himself is quite bad on this front, it's probably not the best model to learn from.
(Now then, let's head back.)
(Still, that was tiring.)
(This is why I dislike the world of n.)
(I'd like to dive in a dungeon.)
"Eda. Let's go."
"Un."
Eda held out her hand.
And for so reason, Lecan took it.
Like she's taking a princess by her hand.
"Where do you plan on going, Lecan."
"Skipping town."
"You think you can leave? Ha Ha Ha. Sure, you're free to go. If you don't care about your families that is."
"Neither nor Eda have family."
"You must have friends. Those poor folks can no longer live in this town."
That's probably a very terrifying threat to the people in this town.
The townspeople already hold priests in fear and esteem to begin with. They're also aware of the horridness of being targeted by temples. Those people would have no choice but to surrender to this threat. Doesn't matter to Lecan though.
"That's enough, priest Casis. The words coming out of your mouth are very unbecoming of a priest."
"Could the old bone keep it down please."
Priest Pajill glared hard at priest Casis for a while before leaving through a door in the back.
"Priest Casis. You haven't done your research on us. We had just arrived at this town recently. We've no friends. If I had to think up one, it would be Jericho."
"Jericho?"
"An ape. One gallant Longarm Ape (Zanvald)."
While saying that, Lecan pushed the door with his right hand with Eda's hand on his left.
A loud throat-ripping voice roared behind.
"Soldiers of gods! Arrest that impudent cretin!"
Three temple soldiers charged with their spears pointed at Lecan.
Lecan proceeded ahead while gripping Eda's hand.
The three soldiers are backing off still with their spears high.
"What are you doing! Just kill the man. Capture the woman alive!"
Lecan let go of Eda's hand.
The temple soldiers charged at him all at once.
Since they were no opponent that necessitated Lecan taking his sword out of , he simply parried their spears with bare hands and threw in a hit to each of them.
The three soldiers were flung away into the wall.
