Monza knocked on my office door three days after that.âCommander, is it ok?ââYes, pleaseâCalm faced Monza slips into the room without making a single footstep sound.Even though she looks like this, she is a master hunter.She laid the obtained documents on my desk.
âThese are the records of tailing those six people. Simply put, all of them are believers of radiant church. At the same time, they all worship at the same place. There is no other contact besides this.ââI see.âSo, the religion is the common point.If that is the link, I can understand the weird attack on the other day.Unless they penetrate the castle gate, the bow cavalry had no choice but to move around in confusion. That was rough tactics, perhaps there was some absurd pretext.
Smilingly Monza asks me.âShall we do it?âThe question she asked is, in short, âWill you kill off all radiant believers?â.Although it is sufficiently disturbing thought, but itâs common sense for demons. Once you go against the strong, you should be ready for death.Be that as it may, against humans I donât really want to do it.Because they would begrudge immediately.
I shook my head.âIf you want to eat the chicken, let it lay the eggs first. Letâs watch the situationââEh?âMonza looked dissatisfied. You, showing an attitude like that towards me, the boss, are also considerably insolent.\n
Since I know her spoiled attitude, I replied with a wry smile.âBoss of Radiant Church⌠Priest Yuhito, right, keep an eye on him. If something happens, inform me immediately. Investigate his personal history. Especially the relationship with Tuban.ââYes, roger!âMonza saluted me.
On the same day, my suspicion towards Priest Yuhito turned into conviction. Yuhito, the Priest of Radiant Church, Ryun Height, was born in the the neighbouring industrial town Tuban. From the deacon of Tuban, as a promotion, he became the chief of neighboring church of Ryun Height.Naturally, he has an influence among radiant believers in Tuban.As in any city, most of the palace guards are radiant believers who believe in discipline and cooperation.
Then the final clue is this.âAll of the six people we caught were always praising Yuhito. Seems he was very enthusiastic about âpreachingâ. The neighborhood heretics were very much bothered by it.âMonza said that while sniffing the tea leaves in my room.âOi, that tea is my favourite. Donât open that much, the fragrance will spread.âThis tea, I found at last in this world, is the closest to japanese tea. Grabbing that out of Monzaâs hand, I locked it in the drawer of my office table.Monza making a disgruntled face, asked me.âStingy commander. So, what do we do? This time for sureâŚââI wonât do it.â
I smiled at the discontent Monza.âThis is my job from this point onwards. You people return to the surveillance of the six people we had caught. I, with Jerik squad, will meet Yuhito.ââWhat are you going to do? Ah, commander will deal with it himself.ââNo⌠but why, do you want to kill so muchâAs a demon, that is natural, but I can not keep pace with it.Opening another drawer, I take out the prepared sealed letter.âI will deal with the human in human way. Well, leave it to me.ââCommander is also a werewolf, right?â \nâWell, that is true.â
There are many places of worship of the radiant faith in Ryun height, but there is only one church where ceremonies are held. It is a majestic stone building.Night has fallen. Lamps are lighted here and there making the church stand out with whimsical light. The suspended sculpture in the middle of darkness imitating the sun is quite mysterious.Climbing the stone steps, I requested the doorkeeper in front of the door for a meeting with the priest.âI am the vice-commander of third division of demon army, Vaito. I want to meet with Priest Yuhito-dono.â
Being led into a guest room with splendid interior, I waited for Yuhito sitting on a chair.After sometime, the middle aged priest came in.âSince I had prayer duties, I was late. Iâm sorry.ââNo, I also apologize for this sudden visit.âWell, letâs begin the fight.
At first, I apologized about arresting the six people of radiant belief. It is a light jab.âSince it was an emergency situation, I restrained the six people and had them investigated. But that is also my duty, please forgive me.ââNo no, not at allâHmm, seems he is not trembling. There is no smell.As expected of a man who leads a faith exceeding a thousand followers.
âBy the way, I heard Yuhito-dono is from Tuban.âI did not overlook eyebrows of the priest which moved for an instant.Remaining very calm, he fleetingly glances at me.âEh, that is true. What about it?âSeems he wants to play dumb thoroughly.
Here is the ruler. If the other party wants to play dumb, then there is no need for sluggish moves. \nI took it out from my breast pocket.
