Chapter 20

【”Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”】

【”W-what’s the matter?”】

Kurats looked back in confusion at Lunaria, who shouted out of nowhereHe wondered if an assassin had appeared in the short gap when he looked away

【”Gnochiss!”】

Lunaria was in high spirits, puffed up with pride,Kurats troubled as to how to react

【”…I’”】

While et himself to say that

【”The reason we came out of the castle today in the first was to search my memories and find a place outside where I could have been in contact aterIsn’t that right?”】

“Niehehehe” Lunaria laughed proudly

(This cocky laugh ht Kurats, to who quite immature

【”It happened when the knights and I were coThe Gnochiss festival had just started, and I was invited to serve as aIt’s believed that, as the ruler of fate, Gnochiss brings good romantic matches to the mikos that serve her”】

That desire was quite fitting of a co lady, which made Kurats unintentionally let a smile escape him

Seeing that, Lunaria shook her hands in protest, like a small animal

【”I-it’s not what you think! I only reluctantly served as ato do with oodfor a !”】

In response to Lunaria, who turned red and was justifying herself with teary eyes, Kurats nodded and heldhi

【”Of course, there is no way that would be the case”】

【”Mh as that’s clear!”】

With a clearly relived expression on her face, Lunaria continued speaking

【”Save for the royal palace, that was the only instance where I soaked myself in water in the past half year”】

【”And where was that exactly?”】

【”It was in an inn town called Barbena, which is two hours away froo?”】

【”Of course”】

Barbena had grown remarkably in recent years thanks to the fact that it was close to the royal capital, and that it therefore served as a labor pool for it

The inn toas also faht district, where h the

Cowen o to the royal capital

The entity with the greatest power in that whole toas a teement, Gnochiss

She was part of the threewith the God of law and justice, Horus, and the God of life and good harvest, KukulcanThese Gods were the center of people’s faith, especially in the west of the kingdom where there were many believers

And there was a certain fad of wishi+ng for e from Horus, and for love from Gnochiss

The entry to Barbena’s teate which seemed brand-neithout any particular history to it

When she came in front of it, Lunaria spoke up loudy

【”Is sir pastor here?”】

【”P-princess Lunaria! Your visit is a great honor to us and we are extre to this tehness?”】

The priest elcomed Lunaria was not unfamiliar to her, she had seen him before

Although she did not reht her about the clothes and manners of mikos on the day she was invited to serve as one

【”I am sorry for the sudden visit, but I would like to meet with the pastor”】

【”Y-yes! I’ll bring hihness!”】

Panicked by the sudden visit of a member of the royal family, the priest rushed inside the temple

『He’s like a small monkeyLooks to me like any thief from around here would be able to sneak in easily』

Muttered Bernst, in a shocked manner

Upon receiving a uard to some extent, but there was no doubt that that wasthat he knehat he was doing

(Isn’t there anyone a little more powerful around here? If I use that priest as a reference, this whole teht Kurats

【”WelcoI was sorry to hear about your sickness, but I alad to see that you have fully recovered, your highness”】

However, the pastor who appeared completely failed to meet Kurats’ expectations

Kurats could not feel a shred of ical power froular shts behind it

(Can people beco any pohatsoever…?)

【”Actually, there is a little so that has been on my mindAt the previous festival, I only stopped by this town by co of you to have e me to serve as a miko for that day”】

Indeed, on that day, the reason Lunaria and the knights had stopped by Barbena on their as that so their training, which had been completely unexpected

The princess had not paid attention to this on the spot because her mindset had been taken over by the festive ht back on this, the whole situation did seem odd

No s were in the royal capital, the number of people who knew Lunaria’s face in Barbena should have been very limited

【”By coincidence? Really? I had heard froht for sure that your visit had been scheduled beforehand”】

【”―― I ivematter”】

Now that this had been mentioned, Lunaria recalled that the man as injured on that day actually had a connection with baron IsengardIt seeate upon her return
