Volume 12, Chapter 3: Trying Out Returning to the Royal Capital - Part 1

Royal Capital Sevenwall──
In front of the southern city gate, it was unusually congested.
Diablo raised an irritated voice.
「Tsk……What is the meaning of this?」
「……Since the eastern gate is being used by the army, there are probably a lot of people using the other gates.」
Among those in the line, there were a lot of peddlers.
On the other hand, the ones that were leaving the royal capital, those that were taking their families along, stood out. Since it looked like things were going to turn to war, were they escaping to the west?
Gazing at that, Rem spoke.
「……As I thought, it looks like it has turned into a war. In wartime, the people that stock up on oil and food increase, and the prices of those go up. Sharp-eared peddlers have bought those in regions where the market prices haven’t gone up yet, and are coming to the royal capital to sell them.」
「Good grief, even though it’s a war, they’re doing business, huh.」
Lilitana lowered her head.
「I am sorry. If I had properly gathered information, I might have obtained news on the outbreak of the war at the checking stations.」
「……That wasn’t your responsibility. We needed to go through the checking stations even just a bit faster no matter what. I believe that it couldn’t be helped that there wasn’t any spare time to gather information.」
「That may be true but……」
Please don’t worry about it──is what Rem said over her.
「……Diablo, shall we ask about the situation from the merchants in line?」
Just as he was about to nod, he shook his head sideways.
「No, if it’s the Head Chief Priest, she should have a better grasp of the situation than those random peddlers. We’ll hurry to the Grand Chapel.」
「I understand.」
Lilitana pointed to the side of the ramparts.
「Let us go around the western side, and head north. The gate to the Twelfth District where the Grand Chapel is at is there.」
「……It would be nice if we make it in time though.」
The sun was about to set.
The city gates would close at night. Even if there were a great number of people outside of the gate, it would mercilessly close.
And then, the royal capital Sevenwall, it was a large-scale city that would be unimaginable in the Middle Age era of the original world that Diablo was in.
Even just going halfway around it with a carriage would take quite a bit of time. By the time they arrived at the gate of the Twelfth District, it had become completely dark already.
However, surprisingly, the gate was still open.
There were swarms of soldiers, but at the center of all of that was──
A young lady that wore a robe with white and red as its basic theme.
It was the High Chief Priest Lumachina!
Why was this person, who should normally be in the Inner Court within the Grand Chapel at this late hour, at such a congested gate?
They repeatedly looked at her, but it was unmistakably Lumachina.
There were believers around her.
The ones wearing blue armor that secured both of her sides were most likely Holy Knights. Since there was nothing but the flickering light of the torches, they couldn’t tell what their faces were though.
Shera waved her hand.
「Lumachina-saaaan!」
Hurriedly, Rem grabbed her ear and pulled her down.
「Are you an idiot, Shera!?」
「Ow ow ow! Not the ear, not the ear!」
「……This place is the main entrance of the Grand Chapel. To call out the name of the High Chief Priest who is the highest ranking person of the Church so frivolously in a place like this, do you want to be arrested for blasphemy!?」
「Uughー」
「……Besides, with it being this noisy, even if you called her from a distance, your voice wouldn’t reach her.」
「Then, let’s walk to her.」
It looked like there was no other choice but to do that.
Diablo nimbly fixed his outfit.
The carriage might end up being abandoned but……
Leaving behind Rem, Shera, or Lilitana and going over was much more worrying.
Making an embarrassed face, Rem looked down at her own appearance. Right now, she was a young Pantherian man.
「……Even if we talked to her……There’s no telling if Lumachina will notice that it’s us though.」
「Ahaha, that’s trueー」
Even Shera who stood next to her, she had the appearance of a young Elven man.
Of course, Diablo was also in disguise.
As a rough ojou-san.
──Tohoho……To think that we’d be reuniting with this sort of appearance.
Lilitana assured them.
「It is for that sake that I am accompanying you. I will properly tell them the circumstances.」
She had many acquaintances among even the upper echelon of the Church.
They decided to leave things to her.
