Okami Wa Nemuranai

14

On the stone steps, three clerics stand.

The cleric standing in the center is an old man, dressed in fine clothes.

On the right is the Pazier priest. He wears a necklace and has a cane.

Lekan knows the little female cleric on the left. I'm the director of the orphanage. I'm wearing the same, qualitative clothes I used to see you in.

"Cleric Cassis. I wonder what the hell you were doing driving out to temple knights and temple soldiers without saying no to the temple chief."

"Deputy Temple Chief. At my discretion, I was fulfilling only God's duty."

"What are those things and what are they?"

"You and I are third-degree clerics of the same rank. I don't remember being questioned."

"I'm asking you this, under the will of the temple chief. Right, Temple Chief"

"Uhm."

Answer me, Father Cassis.

Then the old priest was the deputy temple chief. The usual, gentle and relaxing atmosphere remains intact, but somehow today's discomfort makes me feel like a majesty.

Cleric Cassis changed the look that was distorted by hatred to a plump, people-friendly smile. It is a brilliant art.

"Please rejoice, Chief Temple. A new" recovery "has been created, blessed by my Great Kelless God. But this big man is kidnapping the girl he's holding and trying to leave town. So I ordered the Temple Knight and the Temple Soldier to help the girl."

Edda hugged Lecan from behind, what she thought.

"Girl looks a lot like a big guy."

"It will be decided that they are threatened! Don't you see what this big man looks like! Rough guy! Outlaw! A man who doesn't know to give up God as God and doesn't have the love of men or anything! It's not worth living, it's a man like a piece of trash!

Cleric Cassis exploded his emotions. Lecan may have bullied you a little too much.

The whining of the worshippers, who were watching behind them, stopped perfectly in the momentum of the words that were suddenly swept away.

"No."

There are those who have been pounded and crushed. The man gathered his gaze around him and put his hand in his mouth.

"Mr. Doni. What's wrong?

Gently greeted by the deputy temple chief, Donnie, the tutor, spoke with a blur.

"Yes, Mr. Lecan is a gentle man. I tried to get the parade out of the woods, but Lecan told me to think about what real happiness was for the parade. And you worked out the parade. That's why the parade was won. Mr. Lecan helped me and the parade by buying me trouble I didn't have to take. Mi, you look like a demon king, but Mr. Lecan is a warm-hearted, truly wonderful man."

"You are. You taught me well. Mr. Zakal, I see you have something to say."

"What? Do you want it? No, you know. That big black adventurer is the one who cleaned up Grandpa Phoebea's house. Come on, I've been looking. I cleaned up all the big lots of stones that nobody could move in just about four days. with cheap rewards for service requests. The neighborhood, we're all impressed. The adventurer said he had such a good man. Or, my face is frightened."

"Really? Very well."

"Well, I'm being deceived! They're threatening me! Even if they don't, there's no point in testifying to such stupid people! Lekan is a loser! I don't even know how to pay homage to a priest!

"Whatever you want."

The deputy temple chief uttered a resounding voice.

"Cleric Cassis. Are you aware of Article III of the Temple of Kelles Act"

"Rude! I remember everything about the Temple Law without a word!

"Then recite."

"'Temple of Kelles blesses other blessings'! That's enough!

"The first interpretation of that text is that it does not dispute with other temples. This is fine now. The second interpretation is that it does not encroach on the authority of the Lords. Because the Keres God will not rejoice in competing with the lord, who was ordained by the royal power bestowed upon the Great God of Elex"

"That doesn't extend to having you lecture me now!

"So what right do you have to throw out of town the adventurer who saved this town twice and was awarded a gold class by the Adventurers' Association on the recommendation of the Lord"

"............ what?

"Adventurer Lecan and Adventurer Eda are partying with Gold Adventurer Nike for three. When Mr. Lecan and Mr. Eda have to leave town, Mr. Nike will also leave town. The exclusion of the only gold-class adventurer in this town without any say whatsoever to the Lords clearly conflicts with the interpretation of Article 3 (2) of the Temple Act"

"Ma, wait"

"The third interpretation is that we do not dispute with adventurers. For an adventurer who explores the labyrinth full of God's grace to bring His gracious goods to earth is a blessed being and lives in an area separate from the law of the earth. Do you not know how many sacrifices the Temple has made to reach this third interpretation?"

"No! That's not true! Only a very few truly powerful adventurers will have a third interpretation applied! Only a truly powerful adventurer exploring the depths of the labyrinth!

"Flaming Spear (Bandlew)"

A giant stone statue of the Warcraft on the left side of the stone staircase left only the pedestal and disappeared.

It is the intention of Recan.

"If, if... silly"

"Oh, that's so destructive. It's not a magical defensive thigh. And no prep chant? That's outrageous. Hey. If Mr. Rekan is serious, this temple is going to be ruined."

"Oh."

"But that was extra."

…………

"Cleric Cassis. Mr. Lekan is a tremendous adventurer who broke through the Golbull Labyrinth twice to get the Golden Potion and the Hart Dagger from the Lord of the Labyrinth. And it was solo twice."

"Hey, hey."

"Turning such a powerful adventurer against the enemy clearly conflicts with the third interpretation"

To the priest Cassis, who made his mouth pound, the deputy temple chief called even more.

"From the fact that Mr. Eda has never prayed to or stepped foot in the Temple, it is likely that Mr. Eda's power is not a blessing of the Kelless God. Nonetheless, you have decided that it is a blessing of Kelles God"

"And it's an agreement by a cleric."

"And when we refused to belong to the Temple, our friends threatened to stop being in this town to see what could happen to our family."

"Well, that means getting persuaded from the surroundings. Besides, it is the duty and right of the Temple to protect the gifted."

"Cleric Cassis"

"What?"

"If the temple is going to kick Mr. Lecan out of town, he's going out of town himself," says the pharmacist Sheila.

When I heard this, Cleric Cassis also put a surprise on his face, but the Temple Chief and Cleric Pazier also gave him a slight look.

"If you're a good cleric of Cassis at everything, I'm sure you're looking into it, but Mr. Lecan is the first person in this town that Sheila has ever made an apprentice of. He's very eye-catching, and I'm in the middle of teaching him a secret right now. If Sheila leaves town, Sheila's medicine will no longer be wholesaled to the pharmacy. In that case, the medicines that the pharmacists are donating to us will either disappear or the quality and quantity will drop. The temple will also be heavily scratched, and the treatment will be severely damaged. The anger of the townspeople will also be bought. Such a great disadvantage, the temple cannot stand"

Cleric Cassis's face is no longer pale.

"Temple Chief. Your decision."

"Uhm. Temporarily stripping the clergy of the Cassis priesthood. The formal disposition shall be decided by the Clergy Council. Temple soldiers, detain former priests of Cassis. We're going to take all the tools. Do not let them meet with anyone other than those whom I authorize."

Temple soldiers took Cleric Cassis. Cassis's face looked terribly old.

After looking at it, the deputy temple chief turned his malicious, utterly unfeeling smile to Lecan.

"Well, Mr. Lecan"

"Yeah?"

"The temple has worked for you and Mr. Eda. I'm sorry for your rudeness."

"I received that apology"

"But the temple is not such a horrible place. I'm sure you're collecting possessions, but I'm not incarcerating you because you belong, and if you want to stop, you can stop."

"Right."

"But the way you did this temple was a little too much. From now on, the Temple promises not to force Edda the Adventurer to belong."

"That helps. Thank you for your consideration."

"By the way, you have now destroyed the Divine Statue of Zoggs God. This was a bad idea."

What Lekan thought was a statue of a warcraft, it seems, was a statue of a god.

"Look. Donnie is saddened by the destruction of the patron saint."

"I thought that was a statue of a warcraft. What was that statue of God?

"Oh. That's where it comes from. Zoggs, the god of warcraft. He's a god who supports the prosperity and well-being of every animal."

"Right. I didn't know that. I apologize for breaking the statue. I'll pay for the new statue."

"I received your apology. The donation will be received with pleasure. But it's not about the money. As it stands, Adventurer Recan is a disrespectful man who does not recognize the sanctity of the Temple of Kelles, is dissatisfied with the activities of the Temple, and does not repent by making the impersonation of destroying the Divine Statue, which means that Temple of Kelles, while out to the Temple Chief and Deputy Temple Chief, was unable to unravel and make Adventurer Recan repent."

"What can I do?"

"Hey. I order nine days of service. At the orphanage. The children are waiting for you. You can do whatever you want with your day of service."

As much as I'd like to see you like that, I'd rather leave town like this, Lecan thought.

But in that case, Edda would feel responsible.

Besides, there's no longer any reason for Sheila to leave town. In that case, if Lecan doesn't stay in this town, it will be difficult to learn how to do drugs.

"... I understand"

"Yes. Good. The kids are thrilled."

The deputy temple chief let down his grinning, wrinkled face.
