The target of the assassination is the Aramaic pope.
　I go over a number of plans in my brain.
　As I did so, I opened my mouth.

'I have two questions.'
Go ahead, I'll tell you everything I can.
One, does it matter how you kill it?　Isn't it necessary to kill in a way that hides the fact that he was killed itself, as was the case with the Prince?

Once I killed a prince in this country.
　At that time, the scandal of a prince being killed would be a spark in itself for the Kingdom of Arvan, so I killed him by making him look sick and dead.
　This time, his opponent was the Pope. It's no surprise that there is such a designation this time as well.

'Just kill me, and that's all that matters.
Okay.

Under those conditions, the easiest way to kill them would be to shoot at a distance with a rifle.
　If you're the Pope, you have the opportunity to expose yourself in front of the majority of people in an audience speech or something like that.
　That's where you should aim.
　With the full use of various magic techniques, my maximum range is two kilometers.
　In this world, the concept of long-distance sniping itself doesn't exist.
　I'd be wary of being targeted with a bow, but this is a world of 200 to 300 meters at the most.
　Sniping on a kilometer scale is not supposed to happen. Therefore, there is no surveillance of the sniper's point, and there is no such thing as a defense to block the line of fire.
　It would be easy to shoot their heads off.

(The problem is that if they are demons, you can't kill them even if you shoot them in the head.

In order to kill a demon, you have to crush the Red Heart.
　In order to do that, it is necessary to first hit the [Demon Killer] to materialize the Red Heart.
　That thing's effective range was at most 20 to 30 meters.

Even if you share the role of hitting the 【Magic Tribe Killer】 and sniping, the person who performs the 【Magic Tribe Killer】 will be caught on the spot.
　........The one who will play the role of using 【Made-Killer】 is Dia. Although Dia is an excellent wizard, her physical ability and melee combat are less than top-notch, and it's extremely difficult for her to escape after the matter is over.
　Something, I have to think of a move.

'What is your second question?
How do you know the Pope is a demon?
I'm surprised you asked that question.
I think it's something you should hear, of course.
'But you wouldn't take my word for it and back it up yourself, would you?

I know exactly what I'm talking about.
　No matter what Nevan says, I will verify the truth with my own eyes and ears.

Why the Romalungs were convinced that they were demons is likely to be useful information in itself, and it will make fact-checking easier.
That's true. 'I'll answer that. Lady Aram Carla has come to me for help.

If that's what the priestess connected to the goddess said, then the Pope is as close to Black as possible.
　That wasn't a common made up symbol, that was the real thing.

"Well how do you get an SOS from a priestess without the Pope finding out?
I didn't meet him as the Fourth Duke. I met him in the shadow of Princess Farina. The royal families of the Aramaic faithful regularly visit the oracle of Lord Aram Karla.

Nevan was the daughter of Romarungu and at the same time, the princess of Arvan's kingdom, Farina's shadow warrior.

'It makes sense, but Aram Karla will be killed if he finds out that he is aware of the Pope's identity. That's what he must be thinking. It's not normal to rely on him in that situation.
It didn't happen overnight. I thought I could use that priestess, and I spent years getting to know her. It was also significant that the country is home to a rogue Touahade who has defeated three demons...Aram Karla seems to believe that you can help us.

It's a shrewd thing to do.
　And this is good news, though.
　Aram Karla knows who the Pope is, and yet she's on our side. If she hasn't fallen into the hands of the demon tribe, there are many ways to go about it.
　She won't so easily identify me as a divine enemy.
　........However, if the demon tribe has its heart set on it, they can turn Aram Karla, who is protected by God's blessing, into a doll.

That's good information. I'm going to meet with the Pope somehow, while making arrangements to protect her. I've faced the demons many times. No matter how well I try to hide it, I'll know if it's the demon race when I see it I'd like to meet them face to face if possible, but it's going to be difficult.

We have all the circumstantial evidence, but I'm still not sure. That's why I want to see the Pope with my own eyes.

''It's not hard to do. You've beaten the demons again, haven't you?　Even if you exclude the first one that the brave man defeated, the helmet and the lion, you still have three of them after the helmet and the lion. You will be able to find out more about the best way to get the most out of your time in the world. It seems that he is generous enough to invite your entire class and the student council president to the sanctuary.

Convenient I don't think it's convenient....

It's a trap no matter how you look at it. Politely, you even prepared a hostage, a classmate.
'I suppose so, since you're calling them in at this time. Isn't it interesting. Demons and humans compare wits.

It is indeed interesting.
　There is no doubt that the key to this deception is Aram Karla.
　I don't care if the Pope declares me to be a divine enemy, as long as Aram Carla tells him I'm innocent and declares that the Pope is the demon race.
　On the other hand, if I can't do something before Aram Karla falls into the hands of the enemy, I will be killed by the oracle of Aram Karla in the society.

◇

When I return to my room, I tell Dia and Tart what happened this time.
　Since I decided to accept this request, the cooperation of my assistant is essential.

Wow, what's happening to the Pope in the end of the world?
''I can't believe that the person closest to God has a demon race turned into a person who is closest to God.......''
You know one such precedent, don't you?　Meena of the snake demon tribe has infiltrated the aristocratic society. It's no wonder she's hiding in the church.

Demons aren't just strong monsters.
　That's what makes them so tricky.

'But what are you going to do?　It's pretty bad. According to the rogue's story, if Aram Carla has already fallen into the hands of the enemy, there's nothing you can do about it, right?
So I'm going to be the first to see him. My plane isn't supposed to be expecting enemies either. I'll be out of there as soon as class is over.
I don't have time for classes!

That's plausible.
　It's a race against time, so it's obvious that we should leave now, instead of taking classes.

''Normally. There is someone in the classroom who has ties to the demon tribe. If you come back to the academy and then suddenly skip class and do an irregularity like going out, that could lead to the demon tribe disguised as the Pope.
You mean Mr. Neusch... well, demons are not supposed to be at odds with each other.
''Since the appearance of the Earth Dragon Demon Race, Meena's movements have been suspicious. At least now it's not worth believing.

I can kind of understand what Meena is thinking.
　Meena says she loves human society and human culture, so she wants to get rid of the other demons who are destroying human society.
　There is no lie in those words.
　But at the same time, she also wants to obtain the power of the Demon King. The condition for that is that there must be at least three [Fruits of Life] made from more than a thousand human souls.
　Meena knows that if she tries to make them herself, she'll become my target.
　That's why I chose to let the other demon clans make the 【Life Fruit】 to graze it.
　However, out of the eight demon clans, only four of them survived, including Meena.
　To Meena, it was unexpected that only one [Fruit of Life] had been created up to this point. At this stage, she wouldn't welcome any further decrease in the number of demon clans.

''So that's how it is. But what are you going to do when you meet Aram Carla?''
'I will make sure that Aram Kalla has not fallen yet. If Aram Karla has already fallen, I will not go to the sanctuary, knowing it is a trap. I choose to abandon the name and flee.

That's how huge the influence of Aramaism is.
　Imagine, not just the aristocracy and church officials, but all the people of the country turn against it. People walking in the streets cursing and throwing stones at you, calling you a devil.
　It's impossible to live as a rogue Touahade.
　He will have to go to a distant land where Aramism is not in his power, or he will have to live with a different face and name and look for a chance to clear his name.

'I'll be with you then.
Me too!
You realize you're going to be in a much worse situation than a criminal?
I know. But I'd hate it even more if the rogue wasn't with us.
I am Master Rouges' personal servant!

The straightforward fondness is so dazzling and warm at the same time.

'Thank you. It's good to see you. Then stay with me. I'll miss you.
I'm on it.
I won't let you leave Master Lugues alone.

I'm really glad that I'm bonding with these girls.
　We laugh at each other and then I cough out a little embarrassed.
　Diah and the others seem to do the same, and try to get back to the main point.

'So what if Aram Carla isn't fallen?
'Take him away and hide him. As long as you hold Alam Kalla, it doesn't matter what the Pope says, it won't hurt or itch. Alam Karla is a priestess chosen by the Goddess, but the Pope is just a position.

I smile and show him.
　If we get Aram Carla, we'll have an instant advantage. I can even make the Pope say that he's a demon race.

And that's without giving away your identity.
'Wow, you can do that?'
I can do it. I have to do it. What's more, there's a jokey, super-difficult mission to assassinate a demon who has been disguised as the Pope. You're going to have to be able to do this.

It's a messy job, but I'll do it.
　First, I'll use our communications network to secure a safe house and supplies to shelter Alam Carla in the Holy Land while I prepare for my own journey.
　We're in a race against time.
　But I'm not in a hurry to do what I need to do, and I'll do it as fast as I can.
　It's like being an assassin for the first time in a long time.
　I'll do it perfectly.
　The target of the assassination is the Aramaic pope.
　I go over a number of plans in my brain.
　As I did so, I opened my mouth.

'I have two questions.'
Go ahead, I'll tell you everything I can.
