"This time, we need this facility!"



　After restoring the bathhouse, we were asked by the priests to restore the facilities in the sanctuary.

　We were free until the preparation for the ordeal was complete.

　When I explained to them how to repair the facilities and the equipment that they didn't know how to use or how to operate, they were so happy that they shouted with joy.

　Such joy makes me happy too.



"Thank you very much for your help. After all, it is difficult to hire new researchers in the Holy Land.



　One of the priests blurted out about employment in the Holy Land.



"Is that so?"



Yes, it is a sacred place and we can't invite careless people. Besides, since this is a gift from the gods, so to speak, and all the facilities in the sacred place can be called sacred artifacts, we are not allowed to conduct any research or experiments that might damage the facilities.



　Ah, so you're going to get a lot of flak from your bosses who don't want to be held accountable, and from the faith-first authoritarians.

　I know, I've been in a similar situation in my previous life or two.



"So your knowledge of how to fix these facilities and what they are used for is a great help to me. After all, since you are a participant of the pilgrimage, you can enter the holy place without any trouble and the facilities will not be damaged because you have the correct knowledge. No, it was a great help."



　Apparently, the sanctuary is not accessible to magic item repair technicians either.

　And just from what I have seen so far, I can tell that these people are amateurish researchers with only a little knowledge about magic items.

　I guess the only people who are allowed to study the sacred places are the clergy who are allowed to enter the sacred places, and only the people who are the most knowledgeable about magic items are allowed to become researchers.



　But that does not mean that they are experts.

　Because of this, the research on the sacred places where there are no experts who seem to be experts is slow to make progress.

　In such a situation, the authoritarianism of the church gets in the way of smooth activities.



Next, this way, please!



　As the priests led me to the next facility, I was suddenly struck by something familiar.



"That's ......."



　There were a number of similarly shaped instruments laid out on the floor.



"What's this?"



"It's very big, but what is it used for?"



　Mina and the others craned their necks at the sight of the strange tools.



"Kyufun?"



　Mohamofu is also curious, clomping and bouncing around on a nearby device.



"It's a funny shape. Nor...... Norie, what is this?　Is this a church tool?"



"Huh?　Well, I don't know it either. Tracy, is it a major item in the Holy City?"



"Heh?　No, no, I don't know either.



　When asked by Mr. Gyro, Ms. Norbu hurriedly checked with Ms. Tracey, but Ms. Tracey had never seen anything like it and nodded her head.

　But it can't be helped. This is a tool that has nothing to do with the church.



"It's a training tool."



"""""" training equipment? """"""



　Everyone turns around at my words.

　Yes, everything here was training equipment.



"That's right. These are training tools to pinpoint the area to be trained. By using this equipment like this, you can train the muscles in your arms, and by using this equipment like this, you can train the muscles in this area that you don't usually train.



"I didn't know there was such a thing as training equipment ......."



"I've never seen this before, even in the Adventurers' Guild."



　These tools are expensive to maintain, and I think the adventurers' guilds, which are full of ruffians, would not want to see them destroyed, so they decided not to install them.

　It is likely to be introduced in the knighthoods instead.



"These devices have such a purpose?



　While I was talking with the others, the priests who had been leading the group returned and joined the conversation.



"Yes, this tool can be activated by pressing this button, and it will tell you the number of times you have moved the device and the proper amount of exercise you have done.



"Well!　So this is a magic item too?



Yes, it is.



"What a magic item to train the body, and this is all ......."



"I had no idea what the equipment was for. ......"



　The priests were surprised to learn the identity of what they had overlooked.

　But I felt strange to find a tool for physical training in a holy place.

　The bathing facilities, and all the training equipment.

　This is more like ...... than a sanctuary.



　The first time I saw a man who was not a member of the group, I was surprised to see him.



"Your meal is served!"



""""""" Wow! """""""



　After repairing the facilities and magic items at the sanctuary, we decided to stay the night since it was getting late.

　Fortunately, there were many rooms available at the sanctuary, and we were able to rent a large room.




　Then, while I was relaxing in my room, the priests brought me a huge feast.



"Wow, this is amazing!



"This is the pride of the Holy Land!　Please try it!"



　The priests were so confident in their offer that we decided to accept their hospitality.

　It was literally a kind of hospitality that they didn't even put down.



"""""""Thank you!



Cue!"



　I quickly take a bite of the food and my mouth is filled with the flavors of the dish.



"Yes, it's delicious!"



"I thought the church food would be more plain, but it's surprisingly sumptuous!"



　Indeed, the cuisine of the Holy Land is not only vegetables, but also meat, fish, fowl, mushrooms and fruits.



"And they use good ingredients. As one would expect from a holy place, they spend a lot of money on their food.



"Such an extravagant meal, I wonder what it would be like to be a servant of God. ......"



"Whoa!　You don't want Norrie?　Then give it to me!



"No, no!　It is a bad practice to take food from others!"



　When Mr. Gyro tries to touch Mr. Norbu's food, Mr. Norbu rushes to defend himself with a plate.



"Well, but it's not good to eat extravagantly, is it?"



No, the food served is innocent. I'll take responsibility for it.



"What the hell, you want some too!"



""""""" hahahaha! """""""



　And so the night at the sanctuary passed.



　I was so happy to see him.



"Good morning. Breakfast is served."



Thank you """"""" Thank you """""""



　The breakfast was a training meal for priests, which is also served in the temple of the Holy City, and it was very tasty.



It was also very tasty. It is very different from the food for priests in our temple. It's delicious."



　Shocked by the difference from the food situation in the temple of the Lord God, Tracy repeatedly said it was delicious and tasty.



"Thank you for the food!"



　After finishing our delicious breakfast, we discussed our future plans.



"I'm going to check the facilities with the people at the sanctuary. There's a good chance that what's working now is deteriorating.



"I'm going on an adventure in the Holy Land!　There are so many places I haven't seen yet!"



"Hmm, maybe there are some treasures in the holy land!"



"Mr. Megli, you must not make such a statement in a holy place!"



"That's right!　You will be punished by the gods!"



　Then Mr. Norb and Tracy started lecturing Mr. Megli, who had inadvertently slipped up.



"d*mn, I was careless. ......"



"I want to train with that training equipment. Then I'll go back to that bath and work up a sweat.



"Good idea. I want to take that bubbling bath, too.



　It looks like Lilieira and her friends are planning to go back into the spa after a smoke.



"But then again, I think I'm forgetting something ......."



　That's when I thought about it.



"The participants of the pilgrimage have arrived!



　The staff members came running into the facility and shouted this, which reminded us of something we had forgotten.



"""""""Oh, we were on a pilgrimage"""""""
