“You are people froht to block a path where people walk through?”
Looking at the priests in formation in front of him, Riley asked, but no response could be heard
“…”
It looked like Priesia still remembered the threat she received fro any words, all she was doing was slowly shifting eyes around to avoid Riley’s gaze
‘What’s this?’
Riley furrowed his eyebrows
Judging fro was definitely received It appeared Priesia was not here out of her own accord
“Ah… This… All this… Really,while, finally, an aard voice could be heard It was the oldnext to Priesia
“Our lady priestess is still not skilled in having conversations with people, so she enerous and understand, Young Master Riley”
Toward the old lared at his face
He remembered the oldthe first day he visited Right Solia
“Ah, Archbishop Rebethra!”
Like how the oldnext to Riley Iris identified the old ain”
Rebethra, the archbishop representing the priests of Solia’s Holy Te in front of hiesture, Iris lost some of her wariness toward them and started to look around the people fro her path
“Why are all these people here?”
“Ah, it’s none other than…”
Rebethra turned his body to the side and gestured to the priests ere prepared and waiting at the back to co Rebethra’s hand gesture, three priests, each in both hands carrying a box that was richly decorated, came to the front
“These are about the recent exploits The two people, they left these things at the Holy Temple They are supposed to take these with them”
Two of the priests walked toward Riley, and one walked toward Nainiae
As if they were trying to ask what these were, Riley and Nainiae floated question iven to them by the priests and checked the contents inside
‘They don’t look like anything special’
After checking the contents, Riley raised his eyebrows and looked at Rebethra
“This is?”
“…”
On the other hand, Nainiae vacantly opened her mouth as if she didn’t expect the content to be what it was
It did not mean that she was impressed and thankful
It meant that she was shocked
“It is a loot or a spoil, if you will”
Rebethra opened his mouth
“…A loot?”
Riley wondered if an archbishop that represented a te like that Riley pulled his chin and stared at Rebethra
What Riley and Nainiae received were a cape that was neatly folded into a square shape, an ordinary looking silver ring that didn’t have any decorations, and a leather bracelet with unknown engraved patterns, these three things
“Because we are out in the public, I can’t explain the specifics directly, but these belong to the…”
Rebethra paused for a e Solia citizens watching thes of ‘that man’ As for his staff, it broke completely, so it could not be helped”
Rebethra was careful about the discussion because the death of that man was a fact not revealed to the public
“If I refuse these?”
With a concerned and reluctant face, Riley asked back
Nainiae was feeling the sa to die soon, so she felt that receiving these were probably not going to e that experi such things
“Please accept them The Holy Temple determined that it would be better to present these to you two instead of delivering theoddess Irenetsa that we have not done anything odd”
Rebethra bowed his head once again, Riley shifted his eyes toward Priesia as standing next to the old man
“…”
The expression on her face looked pretty uncoet away froht this instant
It was probably because of Riley
‘Is this just the archbishop acting alone?’
Earlier, Riley warned Priesia that he will turn everything upside down if they pestered him, and it looked like his threat worked It was evidenced by how the priestess was keeping herthis? Assue that Priesia received, in that case, if she told hi conjectures on the reason behind the archbishop’s action, Riley turned his head
“Youngto take these?”
Nainiae slowly came next to Riley and whispered to him quietly so the archbishop couldn’t hear her
“By the looks of them, how are they?”
“I checked theical interferences in them”
To Riley’s question, Nainiae responded that she already checked, but she realized that shethe tone of her words She was still too used to the crass language used in Lower Solia
“…Imaster”
“Is that so?”
[TL: There is so non-honorific fore and then realized her mistake She corrected them immediately afterwards However, it is silish because honorific/non-honorific word fore So instead, I added words of forive it a similar effect]
Riley looked like he was a bit i to work hard as a servant?’
Riley figured that her crass language could not be helped because it became a habit for her from her time in Lower Solia Still, Riley was impressed that Nainiae knehat he wanted and went ahead and did things even before he asked
‘So, thisabout the situation and ured that Rebethra chose an approach of taking a long ti a request He was sure that Rebethra was trying to work hi up the dragon at all was the evidence
‘So, what you are trying to do here is, let’s make an impression in person first at least, is that it?’
To Nainiae, Riley handed over the two boxes that he was carrying and then took a step toward Rebethra
“Thank you Since you are giving us these gifts, ill take theood person and continued,
“But, are you going to keep the road blocked? It’s a little… No It’s a big hindrance for the citizens”
Shoo Shoo
As if he was trying to tell the gestures with his hand In light of Riley’s gesture, Rebethra broke in cold sweat and stepped back
“Pardon?”
“The thing is, we haven’t had our dinner yet”
