chapter 32
I see your code (32)
How many days have passed since then?
When I heard Darin’s calling, I saw Arina sitting in the drawing room. I think someone told me not to take it in before… … .
just don’t talk
“Did the interrogator arrive?”
“Wow, isn’t it too rude to bring things out without saying hello? It doesn’t cost money.”
“… … How long has it been since you met Jeong Taryeong?”
I replied that way, but it was definitely not polite. keep what you keep
I was about to apologize roughly, but Darin, who was next to me, opened her mouth first.
“I… … Priest?”
“Yes, what are you doing?”
“that… … that is, … … You don’t treat Ryan too harshly… … .”
“… … yes?”
Arina made an embarrassed expression. So do I.
dog is crazy What other nonsense?
Darin hurriedly waved his hand.
“It’s not like a tongue or a threat, I just thought of Rihanna’s true identity… … .”
“Well.”
Arina looked at me with absurd eyes.
“I wonder if the teacher’s hidden child is something like that?”
I sighed and shook my head.
The teacher has no children. GNOME’s settings. I can’t believe it because it’s wrong, but they don’t look alike at all.
I’m too handsome to be the headmaster’s son.
“Then the bishop… … .”
“no.”
Whoo… … .
He sighed and looked at Darin.
Every time it was related to the temple, it was like that, or what I said. Putting it all together, I know now. I guess they think of me as an apostle of Kitan, but he doesn’t send an apostle until the end.
It also has some circumstances.
“Darrin, do you have anything to do?”
“Uh, huh? There is, but… … .”
“Then go and do it.”
“… … yes.”
I thought as I looked at Darin leaving.
It’s embarrassing, so the next time someone comes, you’ll have to hide it.
Arina tilted her head.
“The relationship with Noblesse is also… … What do you really have? It’s not just going to happen.”
“no. Darin is just… … It hurts a little bit.”
“yes? You look fine, where are you going?”
“here.”
tock tock. As she pointed to her head, Arina let out a groan as if she understood.
“They can only be treated at the level of a bishop… … Can you please?”
“done. It is an incurable disease.”
“That… … .”
Arina looked at the door as if she was sorry, then turned to me.
“But where are you really? The house is nice, but my parents live there.”
“It’s not my house, I’m an orphan.”
“Well… … okay?”
Arina ignored it.
Orphans are a world that is not even talked about.
In the first place, he didn’t even know his parents. No, not to that extent, I don’t even know my own race.
“Then why do you keep asking for help?”
“Well… … If you don’t have a place to go, I think it’s better to prepare your heart.”
“why?”
Arina sighed heavily.
“Inquisitor, you have arrived, and you look very bad, don’t you? It might be right.”
“I hope so.”
I must be offended that some bastard found my research wrong. Because he is an elite talent, and he has strong self-esteem. But being competent means that you are thorough in self-management.
The opponent is an interrogator.
These are people who are obsessed with controlling their emotions.
No matter how much Byron’s powers have struck me, there are some things I’ve worked on, but I’ll keep the basics.
Even more curious than that is Arina’s reaction.
It’s not that I’m not without altruism from what I’ve seen before… … I didn’t think he would care about such a small thing.
“But why are you worried about being beaten by me?”
“The settlement money has to be paid at our temple.”
“ah.”
It was a very realistic and understandable reason.
“… … Don’t worry, I won’t ask for money.”
“Then that’s it.”
Arina gave a relieved expression, and immediately got up from her seat.
“But don’t provoke me. The bishop is comforting me, but… … .”
“Why do I do that?”
“I think I will, so it is. Seeing Sirke-sama provoke me before, I heard that your workmanship is art.”
“… … .”
It was hard to say for sure.
f*cking bastards have to be treated like shit so they don’t act like shit.
It is wisdom that has been learned in life.
“… … As long as you stick to it, I have no intention of dealing with you.”
You’re complaining a bit, I can understand.
Whether it ends there is a question.
There are lines that must not be violated, and the standards are different for each person. In my case, right before I do any direct harm.
The reason is simple.
Earthworms are said to wiggle when they step on them.
The fight is a win-win.
step on before stepping on
Arguing can be tolerated, but if you put it into action, you can’t stand it.
Arina looked at me and sighed again.
“… … I have no choice but to pray that the bishop has healed you well.”
* * *
I think it’s wrong.
He lightly avoided the cold staring eyes.
It hasn’t been attacked yet, but it wouldn’t be strange to take out a knife right away.
No, I think I picked it up a bit.
While he was contemplating whether to accept that as an attack signal, the man in the black robe opened his mouth.
“Honestly, it’s hard for me to understand you more.”
He is in charge of a parish, and although it has declined, the tone is even arrogant to say to Bishop Leighton, the former capital of the Empire.
“The kind of people I meet the most while doing this job are those guys. There is nothing strange about it. Stupid people don’t even know they’re stupid.”
“… … .”
Okay. within the expected range
Even like me, I finished my work, but some reins said, ‘That’s not how I do it.’ If you tremble at this damn thing, you might lose it.
That’s all I can stand
Besides, don’t you even confess to yourself? ‘Stupid people don’t even know they’re stupid.’ good word
I just see one bastard like that in front of me.
“But the fact that the Bishop was deceived by such a nonsense… … I don’t want to believe it. I’m afraid you’ve been in the city of garbage for too long.”
“… … .”
garbage added.
I’m trying to get over the line there, but I’ll have to look at that. ‘Cause it’s not passed on to me I like the bishop, but not enough to give me ten instead.
But don’t you know the respect for that young old man?
No matter how powerful an Inquisitor is, how can he do that to a person of higher age and status than himself?
When I glanced at the bishop, he seemed like a good person, but it must have been difficult to endure such insults. expression is hardened.
The same goes for Arina next to her.
To be able to catch the eyes of the next saint with a single word, you are a giant more than you think.
“… … I understand you feel bad, but that boy isn’t stupid, he isn’t a jerk.”
“He’s Layton’s orphan.”
Then he looked at me like he was criticizing me.
“Age is… … mid to late 10’s. It’s been 8 years since the war, so at least I’ve lived here before. After the war, there has been no case of moving to Layton with a child.”
The man frowned and pointed to my clothes.
“And those clothes. It’s been kept pretty neat, but it’s only available in the slums. There is no reason to go there and buy clothes, so it sounds like you’re from there.”
“… … .”
Like in ‘Royal Road’, and that guy too. I don’t know why medieval guys follow the dress code so much.
What I’m wearing now is the clothes I had when I first possessed it. Of course, it’s not because I don’t have money, I just wear it because I can’t see it.
Initially, the majority of Layton’s population were poor.
I mean, this is normal here. It’s dirty, so I’ll have to buy new clothes.
“An orphan from Layton is no different from a buggy. Not only was he uneducated, but the only things he saw and learned were crimes like murder and robbery.”
Anyway, there’s something he hasn’t explained yet.
“How did you know you were an orphan?”
Arina asked, as if thinking the same thing as me.
He glanced at me and sucked. shed a laugh
“It just looks like that.”
“… … .”
I really want to kill you.
“Go there. The insult is too much.”
“It is mine that has been insulted, Bishop.”
The man pointed at me again.
“Did you fall for such nonsense and doubt the interrogator’s investigation… … . Where in the world could there be such an insult?”
“Once you hear the boy’s argument… … .”
“You don’t even have to listen.”
Then he looked at me again with cold eyes.
“I’m going back. It’s been ridiculous since the complaint came in… … . I have to go and tell you that the bishop’s mental state is questionable.”
“… … .”
I have to cancel the saying that I’ve lost control of my emotions.
Still, I thought I would be able to survive as an Inquisitor, but it seems that I was influenced by Byron a lot more than I thought. Otherwise, there would be no way to use such abusive language against the bishop.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s lacking or because Byron is better than expected, but it’s probably the former. Because it looks stupid than I thought.
“First, show me the new card that was submitted.”
“Do not open your mouth. Throw it away.”
“Are you not confident?”
“What?”
Watching the guy make an absurd expression on his face, he continued.
“Otherwise, there is no reason to overreact so much.”
“… … This trash.”
The man stood up with an angry expression on his face.
“I don’t kill you just because I respect the Bishop. If you want to live a life like that crap, you better watch your mouth.”
“I’m talking about showing no respect at all.”
He smiled brightly at the guy.
to look unlucky. Also called rot.
“All I could see was a mad dog barking alone.”
“… … It looks like you really want to die.”
slurp.
The guy pulled out his sword and raised it.
“Stop! Did you forget that this is a temple?”
“It seems that the Bishop has forgotten. I have the authority to make a summary judgment even inside the temple.”
“No in front of me.”
The bishop spoke with a hardened face.
“You better put that sword in right now.”
“… … My authority cannot be withheld by the Bishop.”
“okay. I cannot hold back the Inquisitor’s authority. But you can judge a crazy Inquisitor.”
Then the bishop raised the divine power.
A divinity that can be clearly seen with the naked eye. As if overwhelmed by him, he instantly turned into a honey-eaten dumbass.
But I am also surprised.
Not because of the bishop.
The one who stood at the pinnacle of the Temple of Leighton before the fall of the Empire. Although he is now a senior citizen, he is one of the bishops who fought for the highest rank. Of course it should be like that.
The problem is ‘divine’ itself.
The code that was seen in the magician’s mana and the swordsman’s magic… … invisible to divinity
Why?
It was difficult to comprehend that only the divine was the exception. Are the gods involved in my coming to this world?
The gods here did not have the ability to do so, so it was a possibility that was excluded… … .
that setting.
How many times have you already been wrong?
“What are you going to do?”
My thoughts were broken by the sound of the voice.
The timing was so exquisite that I felt as if I had even read my thoughts.
I can’t, though.
“… … what?”
“I think it would be better to just apologize.”
“Apologize for what I did wrong?”
Arina sighed deeply.
“I did nothing wrong. But in the original world, it’s not the wrong person, it’s the weak side, and it goes back to the way it is.”
“… … .”
I would have lived in a temple since I was a baby in the setting, is this wrong?
I think it would be difficult to grow up there.
“Now the bishop stops, but do you know? That looks like an old man, do you want to be slapped in the back of the head in the back alley?”
“… … I can’t deny it anymore.”
Looks like that bastard will still be there.
“So, I apologize and I’m done.”
“I can’t do that.”
“Don’t be stubborn. If you are an interrogator, the level of a level 5 knight is… … . Where are you going?”
Arina, who was calling in bewilderment, left behind.
To be honest, it doesn’t really matter if you lower your head a bit, but it’s not against a guy like that. If you carry this kind of work, you will have to live with your head here for the rest of your life.
I approached the one who was still confronting the bishop.
His gaze shifted to me, and his expression hardened again.
I was scared by the bishop, but when he saw me, his anger rose again, but I don’t know what the hell I was doing.
Anyway, after approaching him, he opened his mouth.
“If you are so confident, would you like to make a bet with me?”
