After that, more than a dozen holy knights who came from the Holy City collected those who had been killed by the demons.

　We were to follow one of them to the Holy City, and we were given a ride in one of the carriages brought by the Holy Knights, along with Seira, Elmia, and Shin.

　Here we all introduced ourselves again and learned that Elmia was the head of the Holy Knights of Sanctum.

　Is that okay?　A Knight Commander dressed like that...
　I'm not a holy knight, I'm a s*x knight.

　Elmia sits in the seat facing me, and I'm very much in the way of eye contact.

　Well, I'm pretending to look at the front, and I'm glancing at her ample bosom.

　Come to think of it, I read in an online article in the original world that women are aware of the eyes of men looking at their breasts.

　Suddenly, I looked up and met eyes with Elmia.
　She had a somewhat proud expression on her face.

　It was as if she was being told, 'This proud body, if you want to see it, you can look at it as much as you want'──.

　It's kind of frustrating, so I avert my gaze from her chest.

　I succeeded in averting my gaze from her breasts, but my gaze was glued to Elmia's beautiful legs.

　They were so, so beautiful.

　Of course Tina's and Rifa's were very beautiful too, right?

　But they usually wear long skirts and robes, and there aren't many opportunities to see their legs raw like this when they are out and about.

　To begin with, there are not many women in this world who go out wearing clothes and equipment that show their thighs in full view.

　It's a very rare opportunity to see your legs outdoors like this. So I can't look away....

　Elmia definitely noticed my gaze. She was sitting with her knees carefully aligned together and suddenly started to cross her legs.

　Whoa, oh!
　I just saw a pair of pants!

　You know, they wear white underwear.
　You know what I'm talking about...

Mr. Hurt.
"...?

　Tina, sitting to my left, was quietly emitting a cold killing spirit.

''Mr. Halt.''

　Rifa, sitting to my right, was smiling, but for some reason that smile scared me a lot.

　Disgusting sweat is falling from my forehead.

　Shit, d*mn it!
　It's almost - no, it's all Elmia's fault.

　I looked at Elmia and she was smiling.
　She's enjoying this situation where I'm being blamed by my wife.

　

　In my head, I know it wasn't Elmia's fault.
　But my heart - my soul - was screaming at me to torment her one day.


　Tormenting her.

　They arrived at the Holy City and were able to get out of the uncomfortable carriage.

　In front of the gate to enter the Holy City, there was a line of soldiers standing in front of the gate, dressed differently from the Holy Knight.

''Holy Lady, I heard that you were attacked by a demon. I'm glad you're safe.''

　A man dressed in expensive looking clothes and with a bad look in his eyes came forward to greet Seira and the others.

　Nowhere in his 'good' words did he seem to have any feelings of compassion for Seira.

'Thank you for taking the trouble to welcome us, Duke Ifel,'

　Seira greets a man named Ifer politely.
　He's a duke, and he's the one who rules this holy city.

　The Duke of Iffel is the one who rules the Holy City, but Seira is popular among the people and nobles, and furthermore, she is the only person who can receive the trust of God, so her voice is something that Duke Iffel cannot ignore.

　It is said that Duke Iffel is not amused by Seira's popularity, and sometimes he has a sarcastic attitude towards her and the holy knights who protect her.

　Shin told me such stories on the road to the Holy City.

　Seira had denied that this wasn't the case, but looking at the way I saw Duke Ifer's attitude towards Seira, it seemed like there was no doubt that he didn't think well of her.


''My saint, who are these people?''

　It seems that Duke Iffel has taken an interest in us coming down from the same carriage as Seira.

'They saved my life,'

'Nice to meet you. I'm Hurt-Elnor, the Wise Man of Glendale.

'Oh, so you are a wise man at such a young age? Thank you very much for helping our Sanctum saint.

　Duke Iffel held out his hand to me and I agreed to shake it.

　─ ─ Hmm?

　Somehow I felt suspicious of him, so I tried to use my mind-reading skills, but something prevented me from reading his mind.

　Is he wearing a magic tool to prevent mental attacks?

　There's one more thing that bothers me.

　I felt something like a very diluted aura of an evil god from Duke Ifer.

　But it was faint, about a thousandth of a fraction of the demon I had seen in Alheim (Elven Kingdom) before.

　Maybe they possessed an item related to an evil god.

　I decided to think so.

　At the very least, there is no possibility that Duke Iffel is a person linked to the Evil God.

　Because right now, this place we're in is already inside the Holy Wards of the Holy City.

　There's no way a demon or a demon disguised as a human could enter the interior of a ward where a demon would disappear in an instant.


　By the way, we already have an anti-holy ward around Yohko and Chalkia. They seem to be able to act without problems even inside the holy ward.

　In front of Seira's eyes, Yoko materialized her tail and fought. Afterwards, I confided in him that he was a demon race, but when I told him that he was my contracted demon, he said he could take Yoko into the Holy City with him.


　There are demons in this world that have established friendly relations with the human race. The hobgoblins that evolved from goblins and the ogres that evolved from ogres are the representatives of these demon tribes.

　Among those demons, there are those who come to the Holy City to seek salvation from the holy women.

　They are not harmful to humans, but the holy ward rejects them. Therefore, it is said that the demons who wish to enter the Holy City will be given a magical tool called the "Devil's Talisman".

　With the Talisman Talisman, even demons can enter the Holy City without being rejected by the Holy Binding World.

　In exchange, they will temporarily lose their power and magic as demons and will only be able to produce power that is the same as or lower than that of the human race.

　Seira told Yoko and Hakua that she would prepare those magic tools for me, but it might be troublesome if Yoko and the others' power is limited in case something happens, so I decided to put up the anti-sacred wards as planned.


''Well then, I'll take my leave here. Thank you so much for your kindness. If you have any trouble during your stay in the Holy City, you can always call on me.''

　We entered the Holy City.
　Thanks to Seira's guarantorship, we were able to enter easily.

''I understand. Saintess, if you need anything else, please don't hesitate to tell me. We're going to stay here for a week or so.

'Yes. I'll be able to count on you if I have to.

　With a smile and a wave of her hand, Seira left, surrounded by Elmia and the other holy knights.

　I was satisfied that I could make a pipe with the saints. Even with this alone, I could say that it was worth it to come to the Holy City.

　But the main event is tomorrow.

　We'll have to negotiate with the Creation God to reveal himself and let him manage the dungeon of the ruins in Bestieth (Beastman's Kingdom).

　I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried.
　But I've prepared a lot of material for the negotiations.

　Now, let's go negotiate with the gods for the first time in our lives.
