I finish dinner and bath and log in. I headed to the village of Verdore to plant the potatoes and lettuce that Yuna had shared with me as soon as possible.

When we arrived at the village and headed into the field, I felt a strange feeling. What is it? This feeling of discomfort...

I looked for the strange feeling and found it in the field next to me. I felt a strange sensation in Yuna's field. There was no sign of vandalism, but the vegetable seed planting was stopped in the middle. How is this possible?

Yuna and Yug had learned tree magic. That's why you can plant a seed, grow it in a grove, and harvest it. There was no way to stop it halfway through.

It was as if someone had attacked him while he was in the middle of a field... that was the moment he thought. Suddenly, a chill ran through me.

Lily and the others reacted at the same time. What we saw on the spur of the moment was the church.

Churches at night are suspicious, but this church was unusual. At any rate, the villagers usually have their lights on. But this church is the only one that remains completely dark.

d*mn...it's my fault completely. I can't believe I was so busy with the field that I didn't notice such an obvious sense of discomfort.

The door of the church opens and someone is coming towards us. That person was an NPC in a sister's uniform.

'Huh... huh... oh, please. Help me!

As the Sister says this, the church door opens again and someone comes out. The Sister turns around.

'Hee!'

Sister's face turns to fear and she rushes over to us.

We can't not help them, can we! Here.

'Aeon, Grey!　Protect her.

Yes!

Aeon and Gray ran, protecting the sisters and coming this way. In the meantime, I was able to see who came out after them.

It looks like a priest, but his speed is unusual... he's just walking normally, but the speed of an athlete running is a mild horror.

I managed to protect the sisters. Then the priest comes up to me, slowing down his speed, and speaks to me.

'Good evening. Are you a summoner adventurer?

Good evening. I am Takht, the summoner who has decided to farm here.

'That's good to know. I know it's a lot of work...how is it?　Let's talk in church.

I think you want to get me inside the church. But I don't think I'm about to jump into a dangerous place.

'I'm afraid I'll have to decline. I need to get her to Freetia, where she's protected.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Well... why?

'She's a sister here. The church's rules forbid her to go out at night. I must punish her as a priest for violating it.

That's a great argument. But I'm not going to back down.

'I'm sorry. I'm a summoner myself and I don't know much about Church protocol. But it is true that she did ask for our help. So, for now, we're going to take you into our custody.

That's a problem... because we have to follow the rules too.

'If it's a stipulation to punish her, why not do it later?　There's no need to punish him now, is there?　Or is there some reason you need to punish me now?

Yeah. It's protocol.

That's a completely taken-for-granted argument. Then the Sister exclaims.

'Ugh, it's a lie!　There is no such provision in the church!　The church is a place where people pray!　It's not a place to punish people or kill people!

'That's your own interpretation. I am the priest of this church. I am the one who decides what kind of place this church is.

That's what the powers that be say. And you don't deny it. And you're the one who sets the rules of the church? I don't know the details, but you're a priest or someone higher up.

''I see... if that's your point, why don't we ask the king of Fretia?''

...what?

The mood has changed.

'Does the church belong to you, or are the church's regulations what you say they are? That should make it clear, right?　After all, he is the king of this country.

Hmm. What right do you have to do that?

'I don't have the right to, but I'm on very good terms with the Third Princess. I'm sure you can get the king to let you in on it.

Well, I guess it's time to show my true colors. The priest smiles.

'I see... then I have no choice. I'll let you guys die here.

Then a throbbing black aura emanated from the priest, and the priest's appearance was transformed. His skin darkened and bat wings sprouted from his back.

Then, the information flows.

'An emergency quest 'Demon Nebilos' has occurred.'

"My name is Nebilos. I will sacrifice you and the sisters over there to me.

Oh come on...give me a break. I couldn't help but think that.
