“Do you regret it?”
“… … No. Not at all.”
Winter grumbled as he watched her slump all day. He said he would join her while she was asleep! Winter was at a loss when she heard that her companion was going on a desert trip.
“Easier than a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.”
“… … “There are a lot of deaths there.”
“dead?”
At the dangerous word of death, Warden, who had been buried in his padding, poked his head out. He looked at us with bright eyes.
Winter, who was slowly starting to get used to Warden’s strange reactions, continued talking without even paying attention.
“Why do you want to go to the desert?”
“It was a personal matter. “When I think about it, it has something to do with the church.”
The only reason I go to the Ola Desert is for personal reasons.
I can’t say it’s because I need to clear Episode 3, so I thought of another reason.
“A church?”
“uh. “I would like to seek support from a large family other than the imperial family.”
Winter looked puzzled. The royal patronage was not plentiful, but it was not lacking.
Sponsorship is something that must be repaid later. Winter thought that although the Ana Ye denomination was slow, he was making good enough progress.
“Is there really a need to increase sponsorship in the current situation? “I don’t think there will be anyone to support us in the first place.”
Winter’s doubts were natural. A denomination that has just been declared. The leader of that church is none other than David. The rich nobleman didn’t even pay attention.
Not only does sponsorship not guarantee that you will get your money back, but if you do something wrong, you could get branded as a traitor by the Duhane clan.
“Sponsorship is not something that is just visible.”
“hmm.”
Winter tilted her head in thought. She’s pretty smart, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.
Still, I felt like things were going their way, so I asked for his opinion.
“If you don’t want to do it, you can leave.”
At my words, Winter frowned and shook her head.
“no. When the religious leader goes, the priest cannot be left out. “If you thought I was in danger, you wouldn’t have helped me.”
“That’s right.”
“I’ll go too, in case you need my help.”
A happy smile appeared. I was glad to see this guy, who was extremely weak both physically and mentally, come out like this.
Winter looked embarrassed as he saw his father’s smile forming on his own.
“That’s the kind of expression a vice-captain would make.”
“It’ll probably be about the same.”
“… … “I felt strange.”
Winter pouted, thinking he was making fun of her. I chuckled and got up from my seat.
I ruffled Winter’s hair, which had given me such a wonderful idea, and left the chapel.

“customer?”
Sheila, who was working hard in her office, greeted the deputy who hurriedly arrived. The adjutant had a bright face and announced that someone had come.
It is not easy to meet someone of the rank of vice-captain, let alone meet them. It would be even rude to visit someone of the second rank of the Imperial Knights of Museion Island.
Since the adjutant knew him well, it was common for him to cut along the adjutant’s line. But for some reason, the adjutant came to ask Sheila’s opinion.
“Yes. I don’t know about other people, but Davide came to see me in person.”
“Student Davide? directly?”
At this level, it was worth coming in person. Who would have thought that Davide would come to visit him in person. Sheila thought it was something completely unthinkable.
“Should I be happy or should I be worried?”
“Judging from your expression, it doesn’t seem like it’s all that bad.”
An adjutant who liked David secretly asked for permission to do something for the Sea Temple. Sheila, who found the sight cute, nodded willingly.
“I wonder why you came here.”
I hope it wasn’t something serious. Unfortunately, that won’t happen. Even if the vice-president himself came and went, he never spoke to me first. That was Davide.
It would not be an easy task for such a person to come directly. Still, the vice-captain felt a little amused.
“You’re here.”
“Yes, Vice-Captain.”
Davide opened the door to the office and came in, bowing. Sheila greeted Davide with a bright smile.
“Would you like some tea?”
“Gladly.”
Davide, who had seen off the adjutant, bowed and sat down. Sheila poured tea with a gentle smile.
“I’m sorry for coming when you’re busy.”
“no. “I think it would be great if student Davide came in person.”
“Well, I guess that’s what it is.”
Davide obediently agreed to Sheila’s words. I liked the boldness of not hiding his intentions.
“So what brings you here?”
“I’m here for a long-term mission.”
Sheila tilted her head. The term long-term mission seemed a bit out of place. The Imperial Knights, and even the Scholars, didn’t give out long-term missions.
“It’s a long-term mission.”
Long-term missions are missions outside of Museion Island. Due to the nature of controlling entry and exit to the island during the semester, it was a mission that required strict inspection by the academic staff.
Sheila quickly figured out David’s intentions. It was a long-term mission that was not easy to get permission for. There was an easy way to get it done.
“I see. So you want me to assign you a long-term mission?”
“yes.”
Davide thought it was a bit rude of a request. It was not easy to assign a long-term mission. Asking for it out of the blue was quite a burdensome request for a vice-captain.
“I don’t know if you know, but it’s not an easy task. “Student Davide.”
But he didn’t come here without a reason. Davide took out the bag he had brought. It was a long bag that reached to his shoulder.
“I know.”
Sheila tilted her head and took the bag. Davide, who had a look on his face as if asking what it was, simply told her to open it.
“this.”
Sheila opened the bag with a slightly excited expression and raised her magic power. The orb that appeared in an instant froze the door and window.
Despite the reaction being much more violent than expected, David waited calmly for Sheila. Sheila stared blankly at the bag with a puzzled face.
What was in the bag was by no means an ordinary item.
“Student Davide.”
“Yes, Vice-Captain.”
“If what I see right now is correct. Student Davide is in quite a dangerous condition.”
Sheila was worried about Davide. Something so shocking was in the bag.
“thank you. “Vice-captain.”
Davide expressed his gratitude for Sheila’s concern, but refrained from saying anything more.
Sheila took a deep breath and took out the items in her bag.
“under.”
What was in the bag was a bluish arm. A left arm that looked like a human’s. Except that it had blue skin. It was a strange object that had no life, but no signs of decay.
Sheila immediately recognized the identity of the arm, which is why she warned David.
“This is something Your Highness the Princess has been looking for for quite some time.”
“okay.”
The controversy this arm brought was innumerable. Sheila suddenly got a headache. It was much more difficult than she had expected.
“You know everything.”
“What?”
“My boss.”
“hmm. “I roughly expected it.”
At what point did she realize that? There was no way the information would leak out. Only she knew, and Sheila knew how thorough she was.
An information organization that goes beyond that? The power of the Duhane family? Numerous predictions emerged as if they were branching out.
“I think we need to talk first. Is that okay?”
“Gladly.”
“First of all. How did you know?”
“Are you saying that the Vice-Chief’s superior is the Princess?”
“……yes.”
I laughed out loud. It was a fact that was kept secret and could never be known to the general public. Not even a single student knew that.
Of course, I was planning on letting them know, but I had no idea that the player would be taken away like this. So what did he refuse when his boss called him a while ago?
“You’re a lot bolder than I thought.”
Are you saying that he refused even though it was the princess’s order? Of course, when the princess heard that fact, she burst into laughter at her absurdity.
“I know quite a bit.”
“Yes, it looks like that. How on earth do you know that? I thought you were managing it pretty well.”
He is by no means an ordinary guy. Sheila again felt the unknown anticipation she had felt before. Now I’m excited to see how much more I can do.
“That’s a trade secret. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you any more than that. “I think what I can tell you is how much I know.”
Should I threaten? Sheila thought seriously. Even if he showed an unexpected side, he was still just a student.
Even the pesky Duhane family was now useless. But Sheila was caught by Davide’s confident attitude.
“Shall we listen? “How much do you know?”
“The princess’s teacher. And that arm is the teacher’s arm.”
“… … .”
Sheila was determined to kill David right here and now. There were two people who had supported the princess during her childhood.
Sheila, himself and the princess’s teacher. Information about the princess’s teacher, who is currently missing, was a state secret.
Its importance is incomparable to the fact that the princess is her boss. Davide knew that. Then how does he know that?
“no way.”
Sheila came up with only one hypothesis as a possibility.
“Have you met the teacher?”
That was the only way that came to mind. Davide had a calm expression on his face and didn’t even react. Sheila let out a small sigh.
“I can’t help it. I’ve crossed my line.”
“It is a gift for Her Highness the Princess.”
“yes. “I’m sure you’ll be very happy.”
All planned operations were withdrawn. It wasn’t a definite answer. But Sheila couldn’t possibly kill Davide.
However, I thought that maybe the princess could get the traces of the teacher she was looking for so much. This was an important matter that required the princess’s opinion.
“Is it urgent?”
“yes?”
Sheila pressed her eyes shut. Normally, she should have interrogated Davide or frozen him and taken him to the princess.
“It’s a long-term mission.”
“yes.”
For some reason, neither of those two methods seemed to work at all. Sheila glanced at Davide. Davide met Sheila’s eyes and smiled fiercely.
“I guess I know some pretty important information.”
Now he asked slyly. Sheila laughed helplessly. I thought he was a tough guy, but I never thought he would be like this.
“The Duhane family. To be honest, I don’t know why student Davide was excommunicated.”
The power of Davide’s information. It was a weapon that would put great pressure on the princess who would become the next emperor. Davide just shrugged.
“Isn’t this what nobility is all about?”
“Yes. “Can I take you by force?”
“It doesn’t matter. Of course I’ll bite my tongue.”
“Haha. I’m really tired.”
Now Sheila started giggling. He was a much harder hitter.
“I hope it will be worth it for the future arrangements.”
“of course.”
Suddenly, Sheila’s expression turned cold. If you’ve played with me this much, you should get something in return. Davide nodded heavily at the obvious intention.
“I’ll sign up for the long-term mission right away.”
“Thank you.”
