Intermission: Tenion Head Miko [First Part]

"Head miko-sama! It's terrible!"

Mou, what a hopeless child To lack co to be 40 like that, I think it's a bit probleive hi, head priest You are higher than me in the temple, so you shouldn't use 'sama' to call me"

"I'm sorry, head miko-sama No, this isn't the time to talk about that!"

"Calm down What's happened?"

"Miko-dono of Parion temple, and even of Garleon te

Kidnapping the miko of oracle in the middle of demon lord season like this

There are seven miko who have received oracles in this duchy capital They are Sera and me, head miko of Urion temple and Zaikuon temple, the apprentice miko of Heraluon temple, and the two kidnapped miko

Normally, one would have sufficed, but last month, by duke-sama's order, every temple was to undertake an oracle for hints of the de down the possible revival location, each teh it's normal for the details to be different between people who receive oracles depending on their gods, this is the first time the difference is this much

My oracle points toward the duchy capital If possible I want it to be a miss, but it's the same place as the prediction of the location of the deo There is no mistake that the demon lord will be revived here Before, there was a hero near inal world No good aren't I, wishing for so that doesn't exist

The oracle that Sera's received points to another continent Even though our oracles are frood, I wonder why do we receive different ones For , it's really not clergy-like at all isn't it

Oh right, Sera!

This isn't the tihts

"Head priest, check the place where Sera is"

"Yes, head un to run in a hurry tobeing the gofer yourself I ask the head priest to contact his excellency the duke if sera's whereabouts can't be confirmed Since this child is flustered like this, he looks like he'll just collapse

◇

Even though the priests have looked everywhere, Sera's whereabout is still unknown

The matter about the three kidnapped ht and guard subordinates are searching the duchy capital even now Although I haven't got the report frohts fro, the harbor is probably blockaded That's relieving

However, since the opponents have defended against our detection ician that can use advanced level ic, or a person who holds powerful artifacts I wonder if it's that group ere spreading rus of Liberty], that the priests had been talking about

Sera, please coing on h I know that this is for nothing but a peace of ood, it's impossible to pour ed

This isn't because I'ic tools at all, but one needs delicatea thread to the pinhole of a needle on the ground from the top of a tower, that is how precise yet with a far offwind to the hanging thread There's no way the thread can get through the pinhole

I'll use the forbidden ic to put ive your protection to your believer

◇

I woke up ininto darkness

Looks like I've fainted

It can't be helped withmana into the resurrection artifact like this

Fainted?

Losing consciousness in this consecration?

I can't believe it

This place is near the sanctuary where ritual ic is held, and is filled with divinity Even for an old woerated isn't it Although I canin such place like this, maybe I don't have ht be a good tio on a journey to where my friends who had died earlier went

I didn't notice it before when I was lost in such thought, but there's no shaking today is it I' the duchy capital for the past several days is gone It was troubling to deal with nobles who caht?" you know Though since they're donating, the head priest doesn't seem like he has any coh priest soon

◇

I wonder if I' senile

There were many assassins who had intruded upon this sanctuary before, but this is the first tiotten so close Wonder ifdubious with the lack of thirst of blood froreet hiht is quite excellent"

The one who appears fro boy wearing a white mask There are trapped clothes in his shoulder--are those people? Is he an assassin who also happens to be a kidnapper I wonder?
