Originally, I could have moved directly to the Pope's room, but other than Lumina-san, the captain of the War Maiden Holy Knight Squad, she doesn't know that the Pope is a high half-elf, so I decided not to move directly to the room I was using.
　And although I was able to transfer to the room without any problems, the people of the War Maiden Holy Knight Squad started to say that there were no personal belongings and it was not interesting, so I decided to move to the Pope's room immediately.
　Then, as luck would have it, no one saw us until we left the room.
　But the good fortune didn't seem to last forever - it seemed that the luck didn't last forever.

'You're being watched terribly, and there's a lot of that going on.
That's true. It is important to note that Luciel-kun is an important person who doesn't know what he will do at the church headquarters, and we are tasked with accompanying him to keep an eye on this Luciel-kun in the meantime. And there are obviously some people who are not from the church.
　Lumina-san laughed at my words and gave me a brief answer as to why she was being watched.
　But still, a person who needs attention........well, considering what I've done in the church, it doesn't seem wrong.
　Still, it's still not satisfactory.

'Haha~ I'm still trying my best with this, but in the church (here), you're treated like a bad person.
You're wrong. It's true that Luciel is a person to watch out for, but that doesn't mean I see him as a bad person. All those who are watching from afar are in awe and respect for the fact that Luciel is able to do many things that he cannot do.
　I didn't feel any malice and it was meant to be a joke, but Lumina-san, who follows up with a serious face, is still the same honest person.

''Then I'll assume so. But it's been a few months since then at the church headquarters, so I guess things have calmed down a bit.''
'I doubt it. The executive branch that was in charge has disappeared, so without a new person to lead the church headquarters, the whole thing may have stagnated.
　The expectation is that Galba-san is setting up and Catherine is working on it........

''Does Kefin and the others have any information about that?
'No, it seems that the demons were mixed in with those coming from Brange to Yenis, and they spent most of their time on information about Brange and guarding the border, so there was no information about us.
Okay.
　I'm curious about the information on the demon tribe, but there are probably demons and those who have turned into demons hiding in various places, and I don't want it to be all of them.
　I'll have to build a system that prevents demons and monsters from entering the city even if they are disguised....　
　When I was thinking about that, I was about to tell the great spirits that I would be arriving at the Pope's room soon. Then I noticed that the spirits seemed to be in a bad mood.
　Is it because the human race looked at them in a freakish state?　But even the moderate looking spirit queen seemed to be in a bad mood, so I decided to ask her, not knowing the value of a spirit, I decided to ask her.　

''What's going on?''
　When I ask Forenoir, who is supposed to be calm at first, the spirit queen, not Forenoir, opens her mouth.

''I have to preach to Furuna. To bother building such a stagnant place in the air is an act of trampling on the goodwill of Rain and us.
　Was it about the church extension?
　I thought it was built by Lord Leinster alone, but if he used the spirits' power to build it as well, I guess I can understand why he's angry.
　But why is it that the sealed spirit queen is still the one who was sealed, but the other spirits don't know about it?　Was there some kind of trick that would prevent Lord Leinster from being watched?　It's too private to ask.

'We've already had a fight about it. The Pope never left the Pope's room, so he's probably been renovated at the behest of some cunning person. I'm sure the Pope is remorseful and wants to do something about it, so you can help him if you want.
Huh? Let's talk to Fleurna first, and then we'll decide.
　We arrived in the Pope's room at the end of that conversation.

　Knocking three times on the door, Lumina-san calls out to her inside.
'I'm Lumina, captain of the 4th Holy Knight Squadron, Knights of the Republic of St. Schuler, and I'm here to report your return. I have come up to report my return.
　Then the door was opened, and it was Galba-san and Catherine-san who opened it.

　And when I unconsciously checked their faces, I was activating my high heels and Purification to them on conditional reflex.
''Oh my goodness!　Oh, Luciel, you're here too.
'Lumina, I heard the report of your return, but to be an outsider at this busy time...'
　The high heels have eliminated the dark circles under my eyes and Purification has cleaned them up.
'They're all related to me, can I come in?'
Come in.
　There was a moment, but when I got permission to enter the room, it was the Great Spirits who entered the Pope's room before me.
　And when the Spirit Queen was a step further forward, the air in the Pope's room changed.
　Galba-san, Catherine, and the attendants also went into a state of alert.
''It's been a long time, Furuna-chan,''
　However, when the Spirit Queen greeted him with a gentle voice, his vigilance melted away.
　However, only the Pope who was called out to her seemed to be very nervous for some reason.

　Although Catherine-san looks at the spirit queen with a suspicious expression, she doesn't seem to be able to deal with it because she doesn't know who it is.
'Nah, nah, gohon. You must leave except for Galba-dono, Rosa and Catherine.
Ha!
　Then the Pope, who had been frozen, firmly identified the owner of the voice and began to give instructions.

　Catherine-san didn't seem to say she was convinced, but the maidservants promptly walked out.
　Looking at Pope-sama like that, the fact that she's using the magic tool of disguise to change her elf ears into human ears means that she's still hiding the fact that she's a half-high elf.

　Well, there's also the War Maiden Holy Knight Squad, so I guess that decision is correct, but why is Pope-sama trembling like that?　If you don't, Catherine could go off the rails again.
　Hah~ I can't help it, so let me explain.

''Pope, it's been a while. A lot of things have happened, and I've decided to help the Spirit Queen. We are now working to bring the Spirit Queen together with the other great spirits. Therefore, I would like to go to Nerdal, so I was wondering if you could lend me your transfer magic circle?
　When the Great Spirit's words came out, I saw Galba and Catherine gasp.

You have done well. Of course, you have my permission. That's why I want Luciel to be on my side.
　Why do I look like I'm about to cry and try to cling to him?　Have you ever been pissed off at the Spirit Queen in the past?

'That's fine, but isn't this the first time you've seen the Spirit Queen in a long time?　Besides, other than the Great Spirit of the Wind, we're here, so why don't we warm up the old friendship?
Well... see you. I missed you, Luna~
　He hesitated for a moment, but when the Spirit Queen smiled and held out her arms, the Pope dived into the Spirit Queen and hugged her, with tears in his eyes.

''You've done well until now, Furuna-chan.
　The Spirit Queen began to gently stroke the Pope's head.
　Then the other spirits also approached the Pope, and the Pope looked like an innocent child.
　But in contrast to that, Catherine, who had been looking at him with a prying gaze just now, was stunned and was supported by Galba-san.
　Her gaze met with Galba-san's and she laughed bitterly, but since there was going to be a report from the War Maiden Holy Knight Squad after this anyway, I decided to ask Galba-san what information she had in the meantime.

''Galba-san, how about the Holy City.......Church Headquarters?''
'Well, more importantly, is the War Maiden Holy Knights good?　You look a little confused.
Don't worry. I'm acquainted with the Dragon God and other great spirits, so I can become one right away.
''........The scale has grown somewhat, Luciel-kun. It feels like you've already blown up all the common sense we have now.
''Ha, ha, ha. I'm not done yet....
　For some reason, Garba-san's words sounded so venomous that I felt a little bit of sweat spill out of my eyes.
　

'You're having a hard time because Brod was there too. So was it about the church headquarters?
　Master wasn't that much of a problem, but I guess I don't need to report what happened.
　It's like he's just all over the place.

''I suppose.''
'It's tough, to be honest. We have money, but we don't have the manpower to do the work. There is no such a handout, and even if there are good people, they are infiltrators from other countries... Well, we are fortunate that we don't have a bad influence.
　After all this time, you said there are hiders in the human resources, but are they so easy to find?　No, maybe that's what seclusion is all about.

'Do you have anything on your mind?'
'Hmmm, I wonder if we'll need some intelligible achievements and landmark symbols to reinstate St. Schuler's Church as quickly as possible.
　I could see from Garba's eyes that he wanted me to be the symbol of it.

''As long as I don't have to fight demons and evil gods, I'll gladly take it on, though?
Yeah, I guess so.
　Besides, if I become a symbol, there is a possibility that some people will ask me to be the Pope if I'm not good at it.
　I hope you don't do that.　

''So what about the matter of the demon race?
I'm not sure, but there have been reports of demon sightings in Brange and Grandeur. And I heard that the number of demons is also increasing. I haven't seen them, so I can't give you accurate information.
''I knew it. Once I go to Nerdal and meet with the Great Spirit of the Wind, I'll try to gather information about each country.
Would you mind sharing that information with me if you could?
Yes, sir.
　When the story over here has settled down, it seems that the Pope and the Spirit Queens have settled down as well.
　So before the report of the War Maiden Holy Knight Squad began, me and the spirit queens decided to borrow the magic circle in the next room in the Pope's room and have them transfer to the magical city-state Nerdal.

　At that time, it seems that the Pope's magic power will be needed, so I gave him the highest quality honey and honey wine so that he can recover his magic power, and the Pope received it with a very happy face and activated the magic circle for Nerdal with a smile.
