Lette came to visit in pajamas.
She walked as if it were her own room then sat down on Simon’s bed and smiled mischievously.
“How are you?”
Simon laughed bitterly.
“It’s embarrassing to come in so naturally but won’t it be a big deal if you get caught?”
“If you don’t get caught that’s fine.”
She said ahem and crossed her arms.
“Today is the first day of the worship service so I came to see if you are doing well or to listen.”
“Oh what a coincidence! I was just sorting out what I learned today.”
Simon took out his notebook and held it.
“I have summarized the situation from Euclid’s point of view. Can you tell me if there is anything strange?”
“great.”
Simon opened his mouth after returning the contents of the notebook to the first page.
“A week ago 10 select students from Ephnell came up to Sky Island and waited at the dorm to participate in the ‘Rookie Worship Ceremony’. The period they stayed at the hostel Maewon was about three days. And the victim Euclid was not from middle school but was selected from outside so he spent most of his time alone in his room.”
“It is.”
“And on the second day the selected students entered the school the revelation that there was a saintess was made and the murder occurred the very next day.”
Simon who was reading the notebook made an impression.
“And today when the worship service resumed there were three people who showed a meaningful reaction the moment I dressed up as Euclid and showed my face to everyone.”
< No. 1 Meryl >
< 3 Maricello >
< Number 4 Bercy >
“Only the murderer knew that Euclid was dead but since Euclid came back intact I think his face must have clearly expressed his emotions. I’m going to try to focus on these three people.”
“Well he also kills people and is taking classes naturally so we have to consider the possibility that his expression didn’t change.”
Lette pointed out sharply.
“Instead of narrowing down the suspects we should pay more attention to those three and move with all the selected students as suspects.”
“Sure.”
“Did you talk to those three today?”
Simon shook his head.
“It was the first day so I didn’t get any important hints. Everyone is in a bad mood. He said he was cautious about dealing with me a first-timer.”
“Yes what. Of course. There are many priests who have never even held hands of the opposite sex because they were roasted by middle school teachers.”
After saying that Lethe was still in thought.
“Would it be helpful if I talked to Lirinet and made ‘one excellent sacrament per day’ a compulsory task?”
Simon clapped his hands.
“That’s a great idea! Then I think I can reach people much easier.”
“Unconditionally at least once a day give or listen to the Excellence Speech. I’ll have it checked the next morning.”
Simon nodded vigorously. After all the active saintess in Epenel was her helper so she couldn’t be this reassuring.
“And the investigation is good but take care of yourself.”
Lethe continued with a worried expression.
“I’m not sure if the killer will think you’re a ‘fake’ or that you’re still alive but he might suddenly try to harm you.”
“It’s rather comfortable if you do that.”
Simon stretched out.
“There’s no way I can win right? It’s the opposite catching the murderer and solving the case.”
“It’s not an easy problem is it? You can’t even use jet black here.”
Lethe grumbled.
“Above all if your identity is revealed in the worst case you will be held accountable for all your sins.”
“of course. I’ll be careful.”
“Everything like a priest. You must thoroughly live with the mindset of a priest. In particular if you do an excellent job the murderer might think about it so you have to be more thorough.”
Lethe who had said that made a worried expression with her fingertips on her lips.
“what’s the matter?”
“I had a good idea.”
she got out of bed
While Simon was blinking wanting to do something she slowly knelt down and sat on the bare floor brushing her flowing white hair. It is as elegant as a painting.
“Simon?”
Soon Lethe rolled her eyes and patted the front of herself with the palm of her hand.
“here. Come over and sit down.”
“… … For some reason it feels like my mother is going to give a sermon so it’s scary.”
“Come quickly and kneel. this bastard.”
Simon had no choice but to face Lethe and knelt down in the same posture. Lethe said after clearing her throat once.
“I also have experience because I was a former Fnel selection student. From now on I will practice excellence.”
After making a one-sided declaration she put her hands in front of Simon and spread her palms.
“Catch it.”
“… … Oh yes.”
Simon winced and placed his hand lightly on top of hers. Lethe’s thin white hand lightly covered Simon’s.
It seems that the surroundings are suddenly getting hotter. Saliva drips down the throat.
“Close your eyes.”
“Yes.”
“Did you catch it? Now let’s begin the Excellence.”
Lethe opened her mouth in a clean tone that is usually used when playing the ideal saint.
“Priest Euclid?”
“Yes saintess.”
“Do you swear to confess all your sins and mistakes in front of the name of the goddess?”
“I swear.”
“great. So that’s a question.”
Lethe’s mouth opened.
“You seemed very excited at this rookie worship service. Have you ever had a private unfaithful heart for even a moment?”
There was no answer for a while.
Simon said in a small crawling voice.
“Hey Lethe. This isn’t excellence it’s an interrogation… … .”
Kwaaaak.
Lethe reached down and pinched Simon’s thigh. Simon struggled with his mouth closed arrogant in pain but Lethe naturally put his hands on Simon again and asked again.
“Have you ever been private and unfaithful for even a moment?”
“… … .”
Simon thought for a moment then said:
“there is.”
Whoops!
This time Lethe’s gripped hands were full of strength. Simon cried out inwardly feeling his hand hurt.
‘Then what are you saying!’
“I will have to expose those sins in front of the great goddess. How were you feeling?”
The atmosphere seemed like it would get scolded no matter what he said but Simon said it was as it should be.
“I have to focus on the investigation but while listening to the worship service class curriculum I became greedy.”
I couldn’t tell because I had my eyes closed but I could feel Lethe’s hands shaking slightly.
“It was my greed as a student. I want to handle divinity better than I do now.”
It’s something I’ve been feeling a lot lately in the field but unexpectedly there were quite a few things to use divinity while carrying out missions as a necromancer.
For Simon divinity was a one-hit reversal and a powerful secret weapon.
And now after Simon obtained the remnants of the essence of the saint the amount of divinity he handled increased enormously. However he did not know how to properly handle and process other than basic skills.
I thought that if I had some teaching or know-how I would be able to use it much better.
And as the mastery of divinity increases a new technique of ‘chaos’ that combines pitch black blood and divinity.
You may even get a hint about the ‘Void’ which creates miracles by mixing pure blackness and divinity.
“Investigation is my duty but I try to focus a little as a student.”
Simon opened his eyes.
“Is this a selfish thought?”
Before she knew it Lethe also put her hand on her lap and stared at Simon’s face with her eyes wide open.
“I sat down and said it was natural.”
“huh?”
“I risked my life to come here but of course you should take this opportunity to strengthen your divinity! Half of the blood flowing through your body is from this side no matter what anyone says. Did you try to become a necromancer only? Isn’t the power that Teacher Anna inherited power?”
She pretended to hit yap yap Simon in the chest with her fist then said.
“Should I set a goal? During this worship service I will raise my best score and win the first selection.”
“… … !”
Simon’s mouth fell open.
“Is that okay?”
“No problem. After all you are the secret investigator I appointed. I will return when this case is closed and the changed number will return to its original state.”
Having said that Lethe raised her index finger.
“If you get the first pick I’ll grant you any wish.”
“anything?”
“sure.”
Then the corner of Lethe’s mouth rose slightly.
“If I can’t win instead you’ll grant my wish.”
“It’s not fair.”
“Were you scared?”
“… … sun. sun.”
Simon cried and said. Lethe laughed out loud.
“Okay so that’s it shall we study the common sense of the scriptures a little more?”
***
Click.
The door opened and Lette came out of Simon’s room.
Lethe who quietly waved her hand into the room walked away wiping her divinity and erasing her presence. Soon while she is slowly moving away.
“… … .”
Someone with a blurry body.
I was watching it from afar.
***
the next morning.
The second day of the rookie worship service.
At the closing hour in the morning when all the selected students gathered Lirinet a member of the student council explained the new rules for ‘Excellence’.
I was disappointed to hear that no one had given an excellent performance on the first day so I said that I thought I should do it like this.
At Lirinet’s words that higher faith can be achieved through ‘exchange with fellow believers’ the students nodded their heads in agreement. That’s because ‘faith’ was the absolute reason in Epenel.
That’s how I got into serious classes. Simon was walking with his starters to the front yard of the nearby dorm where the class was held.
‘It is awkward.’
Simon was just rolling his eyes.
All of them came from middle school and there were only two people who were called out from outside. Everyone was talking only to themselves.
It’s like falling into the first class of school and coming to the second day to see that they are already close. I have to conduct an investigation but it’s hard to put a proper word on it.
‘At times like this I envy Dick’s affinity.’
Simon turned his gaze to the side.
Likewise number 9 Lisara was brought in from the outside.
She was talking about how she had already become friends with one of the other girls. If she can’t make friends with her she intends to dig up information about her by asking her number 9 but it fails.
When Simon is walking in an awkward air.
“Let’s do well today number 10.”
Suddenly you feel an arm around your neck.
Sway 2 the son of the interrogation chief Leight was smirking.
‘Of course this guy is the only one who talks to me.’
Simon laughed and sweated.
“Yeah yes.”
“Sway! Are you going out tonight?”
Another student’s question brought Sway’s attention to that direction. Simon relieved inwardly moved on.
The first class is an outdoor class.
There were tables and desks and a daily teacher was waiting for today’s class.
“Laus! Brothers and sisters!”
Usually seniors in the 3rd grade take turns teaching but today it seemed a little different.
“My name is Homily who is in charge of feeding the Fnel. Feel free to call me Mrs. Homily! Today I would like to take a moment to learn about your divinity. Each student has a different type and disposition of divinity so it is important to know what type of divinity your own is.”
she smiled warmly
“If you know the nature of this divinity you can know which major to choose would be advantageous right?”
“yes!”
“After a light theory class I will have time to raise divinity yourself.”
divinity.
Simon’s eyes lit up.
‘In order for the investigation to proceed smoothly at least a minimum amount of attention is required.’
I can’t go alone forever
It seemed like there was a need to show off your skills in this class.
