Volume 1 Chapter 7 (1/2)

Chapter 7: One person’s bad end is soo that Bishop Hughwiththe Goddess knows, and it is regrettable”

A young swordsman is drawn into the priest's arhs so quietly that no one could hear

“Was it useless again?”

To become an immortal hero, you need the holiness of the Goddess Since two years ago, when he was appointed as the Bishop of Boa Kingdom, it was the twentieth person who failed to becoht?”

Knight Luzar and his five coht that it would be easier to advance, but the wholesaler did not sell the wholesale

“I do not know the Goddess’s thoughts”

Bishop Hugh himself is a hero, but he doesn't understand the standard of an hero He has excellent abilities, has deep faith in the Goddess, and has been recognized as a hero with great potential, if only he is conducted But definitely not There were, therefore, few people who volunteered to become heroes, and a lot of people who refused even if they were invited

“I'm in trouble if I do not increase it”

The odds were low, but the dangerous bet paid off and Hugh was appointed as the Bishop in the Boa Kingdom when he was 30 years old and known as a hero Of course, he was blessed with talent, had a high degree of ic He fulfilled the requireht tih was a Bishop, and there was no desire to end his climb there either

“Instead of me, there are those who know the Goddess”

There are not so ion First of all, the e in the frontier, defeating devil monsters, treat the injured people and resurrect the dead, so that the majesty of the Goddess is spread and the ah also made a contribution with steady activities, until he became a Bishop, but in the future he will not be able to rise with his ability aloneIf one temple is entrusted, not only willand lords of the destination will not oppose the Goddess, and there will be a busy o on e areat teet rid of a lot of demons by the hero, whonized as the achievement of the Bishop who finds theh, were coood people to turn into heroes

“Luzar´s group are not very useful”

Coular soldiers, the five heroes were certainly strong, but what heroes needed was an overwhelendary creatures that were feared for killing even the Gods, keeping the evil spirits in the bottoons Otherwise they cannot be an idol who makes the majesty of the Goddess known to the people and let the people believe in the Goddess teaching

“It will take time, but it may be faster to train an orphan”

Even those ere secretly kept hidden, but ere thought to have no e a up sleeping qualities and not everyone could becoical swordsa person and tih casts spells until he collapses every day, at least three ic The Bishops cannot afford to wasteinjured persons and resurrecting the deceased and that too only once a year However, if it goes well, a faithful piece is born for the Goddess and Hugh Whether that person is chosen as a hero and grows beyond Luzar is a bet, but itnow It was about tis

“Bishop, I'd like to talk to you”

Without a sound, a priest appears behind Hugh, who isn't surprised The priest was a spy in charge of the shadow and the darkness of the temple Not the most beautiful place

“What is it?”

“There's a masterful hunter called 『Red』 in town”

“Red, is it?”

Nickna to the book of the Great Temple, the evil deround, see titles which bear colors like ”Black devil” and ”Silver Witch” Therefore, it wasn’t a good sign to have a color in a nicknameOf course, you can take such a reputation as a public advantage,

“It is a strong, innocent swordsman who even demons are afraid of!”

so that there was a person who is self conscious

“Is it a deerous exter people's safety, which is not very pleasant in the teaching of the Goddess It is not because they may turn into mercenaries or bandits, so other people Such people would be unfit for the role “hero” and a Goddess´s believer to defeat de the h,

“Until the heroes shows up, you must survive obediently”

There was no reason to say such a things to the innocent people So, due to a lack of heroes, the mercenaries and bandits were tolerated

“If you think that you can reduce unbelievers, is it rather convenient?”

Hugh went to look at Ariane´s face when he found her where he thought she would be In the outskirt of an unpopular town, a girl with red hair and aat a far-behind fah saw that profile, he was hit by an blitz She is the hero of the Goddess who he was eagerly awaiting

“Ariane-san, can I have so heartbeat Hugh started to talk with a cool face, so that it won't be noticed Although Ariane was slightly surprised, she realized that Hugh was a priest of the Goddess fro, and smiled immediately

“Yes, what is it!”

Fro, her lonely appearance fro struck by her briskness, Bishop Hugh said much more nervously than when he received the sanctification of the Goddess ”Won't you become a hero of the Goddess to protect people?” At first Ariane was frustrated, but after she became a hero, she was respected by everyone She persuade herself not to be scared anymore and finally received the sanctification Ariane is a billant hero, and when she pitted herself against the five other heroes to reat deal of difficulty Even then, Ariane showed her success as expected, until she finally received a direct request fro appeared with his arend and Hugh who found her will reach the Cardinal rather than the ArchBishop rank, or even becolory of those two came soon Nevertheless──

“Bishop, please wake up”

To the voice of the priest who sounded in his ear, Hugh woke up froht away”

Without having gone to bed, he remembered where he was and what he had planned for the future as raised his back fro rooe After finishi+ng the h's job to revive them one by one

“Everyone, take your hands”

A dozen priests who had already gathered, connect their hands and enclosed the corpses in a circle

“Our Mother shi+ning in Heaven, Erezonia Goddess of light, please hear our wish”

Following Hugh's chanting, the priests repeated the words At the saical power flows into the body of the Bishop through the connected hands Sharing of ical power is possible because they were believers who believed in the sa it into one, Bishop Hugh continued

“Blessed is our Goddess, give life to this person again, 『Death revival』”

The h is released as a divine light, and it is sucked into the body of the dead soldier Then, the open hole in his chest closed and the regenerated heart began to move for a few seconds, before that soldier awoke

“Haawhere am I?”

“It is the temple of the Goddess, you worked hard”

The soldier, who is confused after waking up for the first time in tens of days, is entrusted to the priest who stand behind Hugh There is no time to explain politely fro After a while, only six people were around when they finished the last resurrection

“shi+nichi is unexpectedly religious”

“Ah, the big tits of the statue of the Goddess are worth of worshi+ping”

“Moo, don't say such an unGodly thing!”

A cheerful and id temple tone, sounded out There was no need to see who it was, as it was obviously the red haired hero Ariane and a black haired boy

“Kukukuu, if Ariane orshi+ping eagerly, wouldn't it be a little bigger?”

“There is no effect”

“Sorry, I rong”

Ariane who is teased about her small chest, faced doith a dark face and the boy took her hand apologizing seriously

“I'ize, so please fix your mood”

“Pancakes!? They are sweet and fluffy I love that!”

“I see I will buy pen and paper in the shopping area on the way home, is it okay?”

“Yes! But shi+nichi do you buy a pen and paper, because you have a diary?”

“No, but I'!? Great, draw so attacked by that sliet that already!”

The boy who is still teasing is hit on his chest by Ariane, who is bright red Looking at their friendly and close appearances froh's chest

“Bishop-sa, let's continue”

To the priest who is anxious, Hugh returns an active sain However, even though he s which disturb his ood”

“shi+nichi? Every time you come to visit, a pillar is touched, for what reason?”

“Actually I' the structure”

“That's right, shi+nichi is clever with his fingers, you can be a fine carpenter”

“Does Ariane have a drea a hero forever, do you?”

“Eh, I never thought about it like a spoiled child, Ariane was redder than her own reddish hair The expression of a girl in love was never shown to Bishop Hugh

“I, I'm sorry, I'm a bit tired”

When it was hard to chant the resurrectionaway the puzzled priests and returns to his roo the room with 『Silence』, he smashes the books stacked on the desk with full poay

“That disbeliever!”

A loud sound rises, but thanks to the ly from hatred and doesn't look like his usual self, while he still hits the desk

“Hero of the Goddess,to fall by a minion of the evil God!”

Because nobody hears it, he can abuse as much as he wants Not to mention the brunt of hatred, it is the boy named shi+nichi who took away his beloved Ariane unexpectedly

“You´re cheated by hi!”

If the deu Valley is not defeated, his promotion to archBishop will vanish and his name is scratched The eneht not be sufficient The upper class of the Goddesses are a bunch of people who do whatever they want Even though they don’t care, but they will still pull your legs and sink you to a bottoh beco to his usual tone That boy must be dealt with, for himself and for Ariane However, the trouble is the silver-haired h they are observed in the temple, the maid is alary of hostility and the boy and his roo key』, and thus there is no chance of assassination In the first place, if he believes all the reports of the spy, then the h and there is a possibility that even 『Co』and 『Death revival』can be used Therefore, if his corpse isn't couished, he won't be able to kill the boy Do you chop him with a sword and feat him to the fishes or burn his bones in flames? Either way, it takes time and if he doesn't do it he will be bothered by Ariane

“Shall I work the king?”

It's good if he makes up soh, he can do it with the help of the King of Boa Kingdom But when he does that, will Ariane remain?

“It can't be! That ahero would betray the Bishop of the Goddess!”

Hugh strongly tells himself that it is due to his ony continued, the sunset came Knock Knock

“Bishop-sama, is it okay?”

The door opens after the knock, and one male priest enters the room Even if he saw books scattered on the floor, he didn't say anything extra, but whispered soh

“It's about the boy and the ”

“What did you have”

The urged priest──is a spy who answered in an unusually tense appearance

“Yes, that maid is a demon”

“What did you say?”

“That maid is a demon The boy who is with her is a demon or a traitorous human”

“”

For a moment, the inside of the head turned white, and the spy continued to explain while Hugh with a stubborn face can't believe it

“When the boy and that maid were alone and didn't pay attention to ic”

Beautiful silver hair, brown skin and long ears That ure of the fallen forest

“Also, 『I asked the deain』, was said”

“Huuhuhuu, ahahahaa!”

Hugh who finally understood the report of the spy laughed without being overwhelht that he was an evil apostate who put his fangs on Ariane, but he is truly a de it before, Hugh also felt fortunate that he now had a good reason to exclude the boyHugh thanked the Goddess from the bottom of his heart And rejoice in another truth

“It is a pleasant miscalculation that he was also thatwith gold, it is that merchant no matter how you think about it The statue was the same as the boy and his real face was concealed by terrible burns

“Indeed, it is natural that the maid felt a sense of déjà vu”

The silver haired maid that the boy has and the blue-haired maid that appeared at the audience were the saic

“If I had to solve the illusion ic by force, I would have done it sooner, but I still wouldn't have enough effort”

It was noticed froic The reason for not exposing it was that Hugh was defeated by that merchant between audiences and it stuck in his mind as a thorn If it had been calculated so far and showed theploy However, that act has already cracked

“After all, the Goddess doesnt overlook evil”

As Hugh once again strengthens his faith in the Goddess, he is pondering his mind to eliminate the evil

“Bishop-saht now and prepare the soldiers?”

It is a big thing that the devil king's fingers penetrate into the city They should raise the whole arh slowly shakes his head

“No, that is not necessary Are there more suitable people to destroy evil demons? ”

“That”

The spy choked his words because soht

“You can call me, can not you?”

The spy's shoulder is beaten and the sht in his eyes is not that of a Bishop who serves the Goddess It was the ugly nature of aas him and burns with jealousy

“Haa, it was delicious～”

That evening, after worshi+pping in the temple, Ariane had stopped in town to shop She received handmade sweets from shi+nichi and later laid on the bed of the inn while loosening her cheeks

“shi+nichi really doesn't ht, when she revealed that she is a half-dragon, she prepared to face the worse, but shi+nichi´s attitude didn't change Rather, the distance is closer than ever She feels that they got along very well

“Today was just like a date”

Saying it to herself, Ariane becaht red She continued her journey to escape with her mother and then stayed alone as a monster hunter, she didn't even have a boyfriend or a friend of the sae, so she will be embarrassed yet

“Dateif we are real lovers, do we kiss or soht comes up in Ariane´s mind which suddenly became delusive She mourns her sorrow, and with a wry smile, a normal person would feel bad about the scales of her neck──

“Aaa! It is different, I said it by ht red Ariane remembers it and rolls on the bed with excuses

“Uu, I wonder why I really said such es”

It is onlythat when a n of courtshi+p There is only one thought swirling around in her mind now

“I wonder if he likes me”

It's sowhen being approached unexpectedly When Ariane sees Ceres and other girls talking to hi To understand that it is love, Ariane still has too little interpersonal experience

“What does shi+nichi think of me?”

He is very kind and Ariane doesn't think he hates her She can't say it well, however he doesn't show everything He is prepared somewhat and it is like he wears a mask Sometimes she makes fun of him, but he basically only shows a s with Ceres, he see various expressions, he was very happy in the end──

“──Not good! Because I a!”

Arian desperately screaht up in her chest That's right, she remembers Her mother who fell ill always said it

『Ariane, no matter how painful it may be, dont hate people』

Unexpectedly when people saw the scales on her neck, she was scolded as ”h she exterminated deet her deserved rewards Do not get angry, do not hate them Because you have power Even if you kill soon is so strong that no one can punish you That is why you have to be harder than steel

『You are a huer than the others』

Yes, because she is a human, she mustn't kill huon Such monsters will be her enemy

”Yes, I know, htens herAs her ht for people and live It hile, that she was chosen as a hero of the glorious Goddess and she became friends with the people of the city and she came across of shi+nichi It is too repulsive for a dirty half dragon to desireas they like ht?”

The iveness, the door of her room was knocked

”Hawaa!? Wa, Wait a moment!”

Ariane hurried off the bed and put on her red muffler, before she pretended to be as cal there was not a black-haired boy who she was expecting a little, but a priest wearing a white robe

“I'h is calling you”

“Bishop-sama?”

In response to this unexpected call, Ariane twisted her neck Nonetheless, she cannot ignore the invitation of her benefactor She starts to prepare by taking her new beloved sword she got from shi+nichi and went to the teht falls and it is dim, there are also corpses lined up, before enter the inneriant statue of the Goddess, looks back and smiles quietly

”──Tsu!?”

The calm expression, which somehow seemed to be completely different froh walked slowly, before he starts to talk to Ariane

”Hero Ariane, I command you as the Bishop of the Goddess Erezonia, to send the unbeliever shi+nichi to the other world”

With her own hands, she shall kill the boy which she loves

”To ensure that you will not lose yourself again this time, dead bodies are carefully removed”

“Wait aviolently and confusingly, in contrast to a war child who fell doards

“Why are you telling me to kill shi+nichi?

“I already said it He is a evil ”

“It's a !”

“I understand that you don't want to believe it, but it's true”

Looking at the priest who called her, Hugh said so

“I think that it was also noticed by Ariane that the boy's ic”

“But the reason is she wants to hide so”

Because of her own secret, Ariane didn't dare to mention it But──

“The identity of the maid was an evil monster called dark elf”

“That's a lie”

“It's not a lie A pious believer of the Goddess is not deceiving you who is the hero”

While spitting out such white lines, Hugh taps on Ariane's thin shoulder

“He is a traitorous huivable You will do it, Ariane”

“But, but I, shi+nichi──”

Hugh

“You don't want everyone to knoho you are, do you?”

“──Tsu!?”

Ariane juh say he doesn't let her escape, he stares at her neck which is covered by her red muffler

“Wh, Why, Bishop-sama!!?”

Only shi+nichi should know that she is a half-dragon in this country

“Goddess Erezonia sees everything”

Hugh only turns a gentle smirk towards the fiercely disirl on't noticed that he observed her

“Everyone in this country is counting on you, so don't disappoint uest, the owner of the inn takes care of Ariane like a real daughter The friendly castle gate soldiers who greets her everyThanks to Ariane, it is peaceful, and wohShe will be hated by all these people, if it is exposed that she is a half-dragon, a stronger, more horrible, more filthy presence than a derasp the shoulder of Ariane who is quiet and quivering with fear

“Will you do it, Ariane?”

The lonely girl, the Goddess' s hero, finally got a place of warmth and security If she wants to shi+eld it, there was only one answer

Returning to the inn, Ariane couldn't sleep and the evening began shi+nichi will greet her with an unchanging smile, while Ariane descends to the first floor bar with a terrible face

“You're tired, you'd better get some rest once you eat”

That said, shi+nichi offers Ariane a candy ball If it is as usual, she will gladly take itand talk happily till the shopkeeper prepares breakfast However, such waro to defeat the de”

“Okay”
