Episode 53: St. Serene Spiritual Temple

The leave delivery submitted by Sinni was accepted relatively easily. Although Shinni had been treated as a mere inferior student until now, Marie's recognition made her a privileged position in the school.

Sinni, who until now had been a dark and creepy human treatment that kept others away, seemed to be interpreted as a pathetic girl who had lost everything and scratched and distorted in Valvere's dragon raid.

Sinni originally lived in a slum area in Valvere, and she had no family or property, but the rumors spread, and even though she hated it until now, some students appeared to talk to her.

As for Sinni, that was very depressing, but there was no reason to make a bad noise, and the vacation delivery was accepted or no or she immediately popped out of school. The goal is the sleeping land of the enemy - the Temple of St. Serene Spirituality.

Originally, it was a scenic (dubbed) place as a lily garden, but the building of the St. Serene Spiritual Temple near it made it a land visited by pilgrims from all over the country.

Pilgrimage tours were also organized in Helifarte, to which Sinni joined. Sinni and Kokumar are also involved as they are divided into several carriages and about fifty people participate.

"Hey, I don't know about killing dead people. I'm telling you, are you crazy?

"Shut up for a second. I'll explain everything when I get over there."

Now Sinni was rocked by a carriage to St. Serene's Spiritual Temple. If I talk to Cochmar too much here, he'll be treated like a pathetic person talking to a crow. If you stand out here, you risk interfering with the evil you're going to do now.

In about a week, Sinni, who reached the temple of St. Serene, rounded her eyes to the sight that spreads in front of her.

"It's like a city……………………."

As for the spiritual temple, I imagined that there were still buildings, but the actual objects were different. Of course, the St. Serene Spiritual Temple itself is a majestic building built on an unspoilt white base, but it is not there that Sinni was surprised.

The temple of St. Serene is still only partially completed with its foundations. Designed to celebrate Princess Moonlight's feat forever, it takes decades to complete.

The land is also a relay point between White Forest and Helifarte, where each other's species works hand in hand. I mean, it's like a giant utility over a hedge of races.

In order to complete the giant building, a large number of humans and elves will be needed, starting with the carpenter. We need more escorts for those who can fight to protect them from the bandits. When that happens, we won't be able to make it in the tent or in the camp very quickly.

People and elves gather at potato ceremonies, as they need sleeping accommodations, places to behave like meals, and merchants appear where people gather….

With such a flow going on for about two years, a community around St. Serene Spiritual Temple was being formed. It's a bit like a big village gathering now, but when it comes to vibrancy alone, people seem happier than Valvere. If architecture continues smoothly, it will grow into a huge city inhabited by elves and humans.

"Truth is, you are such a great person as Princess Moonlight..."

Sinni looked at the people who would live their work with pride and tongued abominably. Shortly afterwards, I get a dark grin under my hood.

"But the greatness is over tonight, too."

"Don't let me bump into you earlier. Come on, explain."

When Cochmar urges Sinni, Sinni is unusual for her, whispering but happily talking out the plan.

"Princess Moonlight accomplished an unprecedented feat even when she was alive, but she is still dead, thus giving people jobs, a smile, and hope. I think it's a big deal."

"So, what are you going to do with him?

"I guess everyone puts that much into Princess Moonlight because they want to indulge in her 'immortal sanctity'. He died prematurely even as he became a feat. But the body remains clean. There's mystery there."

Sinni is right, the sacred remains of Princess Moonlight (because of it) have not rotted at all, and they are still sleeping in the coffin of the temple. People are attracted to its beauty and also find there a divinity that is not normally conceivable. It is true that those factors increase the fame of Princess Moonlight.

"So crush it. Drag down the glory of heaven."

In other words, ruin Princess Moonlight's "Dead and Forever" part. Sinni's Dark Fluorescent has little ability to kill. However, it can damage the soft skin of young children.

"So you're saying that Dark Fluorescent will tear Serene's body apart?

"That's the thing. I can do that. Easy."

Because of the commandment that Princess Moonlight should not be prevented from sleeping, the coffin cannot be opened. But Dark Fluorescent can sneak in through just a few gaps. And tear apart the remains of Serene sleeping in a glossy appearance.

"That's right. I think I'll put a lot of black stain on it so it looks rotten. That way, you'll also notice humans who profess Princess Moonlight. He was just a human being, too."

It's forbidden to open the coffin now, but it won't open forever. And when you open the lid of the coffin, when you see the remains that went black and scratched, people will be discouraged and think this way.

- That the eternity we believed in was a bluff.

'I see. But you, you're so cloudy. "

"You can say anything you want. I just do what I can."

Sinni laughs lightly and heads to one of the rooms she booked. Naturally, he was not supposed to go on a pilgrimage to the temple, but immediately lay himself in bed to relieve the fatigue of his journey. Sinni moves only after the night the darkness deepens.

Then a few hours later, when the night book came down, Sinni gently left the inn. Simple liquor bars were also available around the temple, and people and elves involved in architecture were seen drinking soothingly during the day.

Sinni moves little by little through the darkness so that they don't find him and walks over to the temple. The closer we get, the more likely we are to be pressured by the majesty of the building. Helifarte, the great power, has only taken the lead and begun to build, and it will undoubtedly be a building that will make its name for itself in history.

"Hey, it looks like no one's watching you right now."

"Copy that. Let's get this over with."

In a warehouse near the temple, Sinni hid herself for a while, but there came Cochmar. Cochmar, a warcraft, is dressed in a natural black outfit, on top of having a better night's eye than an owl. There will be no more suitable presence for night reconnaissance.

The Temple of St. Serene is off-limits at night, and guards guard the entrance day and night to protect Serene holy remains from grave vandalism. Cochmar has been watching from the shade of the tree, making sure the guards get in for a break. No, he flew right to Sinni.

Poking through only a few gaps, Sinni succeeded in stepping into the temple. There shouldn't be anyone in there, but just in case, kill the footsteps and walk.

(St. Serene Spiritual Temple… it must be a rumor, it's a beautiful place)

Sinni, who does not normally show interest in artwork, was also seen to have made this place with excellent technology. To describe the pure white girl Serene, or the interior is unified in a white monochrome. Stained glass was nestled by the way, and on the wall were paintings of a girl who prayed with her hands together under the moonlight and a little mouse riding on her shoulder.

"Hey, looks like someone's here, huh?

"What?"

Cochmar eared softly as Sinni was unexpectedly seen in the interior. Cochmar, who has much better eyes than Sinni, seemed to notice its presence one foot away. Sinni hid herself in a nearby pillar and stared at her.

The temple was constructed to take in glowing sunlight by day and soft moonlight by night, and was designed to shine brightly except on nights without the moon. Therefore, Sinni was able to see Kokumar's shadow from a distance.

In the central altar-like place was a white coffin made of a pure white tree called Shinku, the treasure of the elves. Without a doubt, Princess Moonlight Serene is being served.

And there was one who knelt before the coffin, closed his eyes, and prayed. The appearance of platinum blonde hair illuminated by moonlight and praying all alone was as harsh (oh dear) as a knight swearing allegiance to the princess and as beautiful as a painting.

"He who hides in the pillars there. Come out."

For a while, Sinni was watching the youth, but as the youth suddenly uttered words, Sinni shook herself frightened. He had already noticed that he didn't make any footsteps and that he was quite a distance away.

(I don't have a choice...)

There's no point in hiding when this happens. Judging so, Sinni honestly revealed herself from the pillar. The coffin is already within range of Dark Fluorescent. You just have to get things done before they preach and kick you out.

But when I saw the young man standing up directly in front of me, Sinni hardened. Yes, there is no one he does not know if he lives on this continent...

"Holy Prince...... Milan-Helifalte!?

"Who are you? This place should be off-limits to the public at night."

Back to back with Shinni, Milan turns his guard to Shinni. I don't know why there is one of the best princes on the continent here, but Sinni has no choice but to remove the hood she was wearing.

"Girl? Why is a kid like you at such a time?

"Excuse me, because there are many others at noon and I thought I couldn't calm down and pray. I didn't know you couldn't come in at night."

Sinni even lies. Anyway, you just have to do something to buy time and let even Dark Fluorescent sneak into the coffin. To that end, Sinni lines up the lies eight hundred.

"I say Sinni. I was very impressed with Serene's mercy when I was recently able to receive the St. Serene Fund at the Helifarte National University. Therefore, I would like to express my gratitude to Master Serene very soon."

"Sinni? Yeah, my sister tells me. It was a disaster when it came to Valvere."

"No, nothing..."

Apparently he had heard some information from Marie, and I could see Milan's alertness loosened.

"And by the way, how could Prince Milan have been alone in a place like this?

"Nn? Oh, it's just like you. In the daytime, the area is loud. Besides, when I get here, everybody's gonna constrict, right?

In fact, it's the opposite of the purpose, but it seems that Milan recognized Sinni as one of his own, deeply appreciative companions to Serene.

"I see. Yes, I understand very well. Is that why you prayed in Serene's coffin?"

"Rather than a coffin, it's a sacred cloth."

"Much to blame?

"Look, look over the coffin. They must be decorated with cloth.

That said, Milan turns a little over the coffin. When Sinni sent her gaze to you, she was decorated with a borough cloth with a dirty hiragana. It is the world's most stubborn sacred wreckage and exposed object.

"Is that the sacred wreck cloth? I don't know what it says..."

"They say that's a 'Serene letter'. I checked with my sister, Princess Alye, but she says it's definitely something Serene wrote. Most of all, I don't know what that letter means."

(Maybe it's some kind of cipher……)

Neither Milan nor Sinni can read Japanese palms, so it just seemed close to the feeling that modern Japanese had seen hieroglyphics. It's like an in-depth reading where I don't know what it means, but I guess it makes sense because it's a strange letter written by an ancient man.

"This cloth was found only after Serene's coffin was finished."

"Huh? So you're saying Master Serene wrote it after he died?

"That's what happens if you simply capture it. But it's impossible if you think about it in common sense. Serene had come and gone to Helifarte National University many times, as well as interacted with the elves. It would be more natural to assume that what you wrote at that time crossed the dragon by any means."

Saying so, Milan adds, "But".

"But still... I'm Serene coming home one day. That's what I want to believe. That's probably how I felt when I ordered you not to open the coffin. If you open that coffin and see Serene still sleeping, now is the time to admit her death."

"If you don't open it, there's still hope."

Sinni replied faintly so. What I'm trying to do now is pick that bud of hope. Milan does not answer Sinni's words, but looks lonely at the coffin.

"For two years Serene slept, he studied all over the continent. Compared to two years ago, knowledge clearly increased. I brushed my sword arms, and I tried so hard that I thought I had grown up."

That's it, Milan closes his eyes. It seemed like you were picking a word for it.

"But the other day, when I hadn't had an exotic friend in a long time, I was told," The prince must have lost his heart. "I have grown in knowledge and strength. [M] But that's all."

With that said, Milan turned to Sinni. From Sinni's point of view, the more the expression "Holy Prince" seemed worthy, but the Holy Prince himself did not seem convinced.

"After all, I'm still immature. I still have that childish wish that she would say 'good morning' as if nothing had happened. Praying here is also to calm those feelings."

"I think so too. Master Serene is the one who accomplishes miracles."

"You think so too? I don't mind you laughing at me with a wretched prince."

"No, because I sincerely believe so."

Sinni appropriately talks to each other, drawing on the urge to laugh out. The Holy Prince Milan-Helifalte still seems obsessed with Serene-Arquila.

Then the way he thinks about killing the dead will be very effective. Now you can strike a little curse vengeance. Thinking about it, I can afford Sinni's heart.

"But how the hell did you sneak in here? Even in the middle of the night, the guards should be watching."

"When I came here, it seemed like it was time to take turns. Well, there must be that kind of coincidence."

"Coincidence… so to speak, even when it first happened with Serene, it was a coincidence"

The side of Milan, saying so, looked terribly lonely. I would have remembered the night Serene and I first met.

"You said you were here to pray to Serene, right? Normally, it's forbidden time, but let's give it a special permission. I'll tell the guards, so pray as much as you like."

"Ah, thank you very much!

Sinni let her expression shine all the time. I was anticipating the timing of when to activate Dark Fluorescent, but the prince gave me a chance to pray straight away. This makes it easier to attack from your own shadow.

Seeing Sinni happy to hear that she could offer her prayers to Serene, Milan loosened her cheeks.

"If you admire me so much, I'm sure she'll be happy too. She didn't have many friends her age."

"That's already something I'll be eager to pray for. This is what I am doing now because of Master Serene."

Sinni said so with as much irony as she could think, but Milan seemed to have received it as he had said, nodding and going outside. Perhaps he went to report to the guards and take care to tighten his security.

"Hehe... I knew heaven was on the side of the righteous. I wondered what would happen when the prince found me."

"What is heaven is on the side of the righteous? I think it's a crime."

"Well, I guess I'll let the great Selene's glory fall to the ground."

Cochmar's hatred doesn't seem to bother him either, and Sinni activates Dark Fluorescent in a whimsical manner. A shadow like a black snake stains the ground and slips straight into a pure white coffin.

"Ah, that!?

"What is it? Aren't you going to tell me you've just been attacked by guilt?

"Chi, no! You don't have a body!?

Sinni was unprecedented.
