Moreover, it is still unknown whether the current Dead Apostle ruler...Altrouge will really go to war with Holy Church. After all, what Van Feim and Black Wing Lord are doing now.
It is welcoming back the old king, which is not a good thing for the new king.
"Got it."
Karen nodded slightly, and then asked, "Is there anything else you want to explain? If not... I still have something to do."
"... Am I a sinner?"
Pope There was a trace of confusion in the old voice. He stared at the indestructible statue. As the plan got closer to success, he felt more and more fearful and confused in his heart.
Although every step he takes now seems to be on the right path, who can guarantee... This is not because the devil tricked him and made him unknowingly go into the abyss of irreversibility.
In fact, what he is doing now... is too much like a foolish person deceived by the devil.
However, it is impossible to stop now.
"Maybe..."
Karen stared at Pope who kept praying, and said, "After all, letting that woman become a bishop... is not a good thing no matter how you look at it."
"... Isn't she doing very well now?"
Pope said this, but his face became more worried.
In the past, in order to deepen mutual interests with Aozaki Touko, or to have a communication channel with each other, he promoted Misaki City Kishimo Arcueid... step by step to the status of bishop.
Of course, in terms of resume...Kishimo Arcueid has no flaws. No one has a bad word to say about this gentle nun. Even the most heinous murderer... will kneel in front of Kishimo Arcueid and sincerely repent.
It can be said to be... a Virgin-like existence.
However, as Kishimo Arcueid continued to improve its status within Holy Church, something terrible happened.
No, it should be said that I finally realized something terrible.
The clergymen... or believers in the church worship Kishimo Arcueid so much that they can even interfere with Pope and issue orders even if they have not yet reached the position.
This powerful and strange charm... is it the brilliance of the Virgin that makes people worship, or... the devil's charm that makes people go crazy? It's hard to tell.
However, as of now... people are not showing any abnormalities, and are even... developing in a better direction. It cannot be wrong to say that they are inspired by the Holy Mother... and are walking on the right path.
However, as beautiful as it is.
But he felt a strange discomfort in his heart, as if he had made a huge mistake and there was no way to recover.
Now, all I can do is pray...Kishimo Arcueid is a true saint.
"..."
Karen looked at Pope in silence, turned around and chose to leave the church.
No matter what she said, as long as the woman named Kishimo Arcueid remained a frontal Madonna, no amount of verbal attacks would be of any use.
However, by the time that woman's true nature is revealed, it may be too late.
To be honest, the feeling of oppression given to her by Kishimo Arcueid was not inferior to the feeling given by Lady Touko. However, that woman... was obviously weak and pitiful.
If compared with Lady Touko... it can be said that there is a huge difference.
And for such a woman to actually give her this kind of feeling, it can only mean that... the woman named Kishimo Arcueid is inherently terrifying... no less terrifying than Lady Touko.
Of course, this may be because she is too sensitive.
Offshore Japan.
A half-crow, half-human monster pierced the atmosphere, its spread black wings shook, and it flew through the void like lightning, and soon turned into a small black dot and disappeared.
His goal is clear... that is to reach Fuyuki City as soon as possible.
In order to accomplish this goal, he did not even take any of his subordinates with him, but relied on his own strong strength to go ahead alone, just to reach Fuyuki City as soon as possible to complete the master's mission.
Assist Lady Remilia... to resurrect his master Crimson Moon.
USA.
New York.
AIRPORT.
Van Feim wore a smart black suit and held a cane inlaid with gems in his hand. His scarlet eyes stared coldly at the priests standing in front of him and said:
"Why... am I still not able to travel?"
As he said this, he showed a cold murderous intention, and would move if he had any disagreement. He was obviously very dissatisfied with the fact that he was blocked.
However, the few priests who blocked him remained unmoved. They just looked at each other. Then, a middle-aged priest came out, bowed slightly and said:
"Your Excellency Van Feim, can you tell me where you want to go?"
"Go meet my friends."
Coldly, Van Feim responded with an arrogant look, as if his friend had a distinguished status that he was proud of, enough to show off to others... how rich his social circle was.
"... is it Aozaki Touko?"
The middle-aged priest asked.
"That's right."
Van Feim nodded in recognition.
"Unfortunately, we have received orders... not to allow you to go to Fuyuki City."
Somewhat apologetically, the middle-aged priest bowed slightly, but his body secretly tensed up. If True Ancestor Dead Apostles took action, he would immediately fight back.
In fact, they have received a death order... They must stop this True Ancestor Dead Apostles here.
"... This is true!"
Van Feim smiled helplessly, and immediately his eyes became completely cold. He decisively attacked the priests present without any room for mercy.
After all, if you want to leave New York... you can't have too many eyes on you.
Chapter 418 Illya wants to fight back
Fuyuki City Outskirts.
Einzbern Castle.
Illya raised his head slightly and stared at the gorgeous castle not far away. He couldn't help but be moved to tears. After a day of pursuit, he finally returned home safely.
Now, it's time to take a nice hot bath.
"... I'm back!"
She weighed the small schoolbag behind her slightly and walked toward the door.
At this moment, the castle door slowly opened, and then a dozen well-dressed maids walked out. She lined up on both sides of the road and bowed to Illya as he approached.
"Welcome back, Miss Illya."
Their melodious voices are extremely harmonious, and their saluting postures are extremely graceful. The postures they display are aristocratic heritage accumulated over thousands of years.
"No, that..."
Illya blinked Ruby-like eyes, not knowing how to react. This was like a gorgeous scene in a movie. For an ordinary primary school student like her, she really didn't know how to face it.
After all, she has never received... any education about young ladies.
"Illya... are you okay?"
At this moment, Rieses walked out of the castle gate. She was wearing simple casual clothes at home. Her chest was proudly tall and straight, and the curves of her chest were intoxicating as she trotted.
Unlike Einzbern, an ordinary maid, Rieses has an unexpectedly grand mind. She can probably look down on the entire Einzbern Family, and it is difficult to find an existence that can match her.
And this may also be the reason why Aozaki Touko... chose her to become Fuyuki City's personal maid.
"Liz... I'm fine."
Illya looked at the maid running over with a sunny smile.
It was no lie. Although she was chased by her younger sister for several streets today and was deceived into an alley by her senior sister, she was not harmed at all.
Rather, I gained a lot today.
For example, it was confirmed that she inherited the ability of Touko Mama, and she was also recognized by sister Suigintou, and started the transformation of Fallen Angel Magical Girl.
If we have to talk about losses, it is probably the use of one Command Spell.
"Yeah."
Rieses stared at Illya with doubtful eyes and warned, "Don't deliberately hide your injuries just to make us not worry. This will make us worry instead."
"Really not, Liz~"
Illya shook his head quickly, raised his hands and walked around in a circle, showing his maid that he was not hurt.
However, this doesn't seem to have much effect.
Rieses held his chin with his slender hand, carefully looked at Illya's body, checked the visible area to one side, and nodded with some satisfaction.
"It seems that you are really... not injured."
Judging from the appearance... Illya did not suffer any damage. The black stockings covering her white and tender legs were somewhat damaged and had a few small holes. There was not much other damage.
Even... the mental state seems to be better.
"Right."
Illya put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "If, if I were injured... I would go home and seek treatment from Touko Mama."
During the time she was in the castle... she asked the maids about Touko Mama's past, and she felt incomparable amazement. It turned out that the lazy Touko Mama who had been at home all this time had such a glorious past.
And in the past of Touko Mama, there was something very noteworthy, which was evaluated as...Medical skill, who was in charge of human life and death like the palm of a god.
The so-called limit of human lifespan... in the hands of Touko Mama, it is just a value that can be manipulated at will.
"Ah... that's right."
Rieses nodded seriously. "If you are injured, you must go to Lady Touko. Illya must keep this in mind."
Saying this, she reached out and grabbed Illya's shoulders, then began to grope around Illya's body, and began to check whether there were any injuries on her clothes.
Although on the surface...Illya does not have any injuries, there is no guarantee that there are no injuries under the clothes, so it must be carefully checked.
Otherwise, it would be bad if there is an injury... and it gets worse.
"Liz... it's really okay."
Illya shrunk and explained to the maid in a low voice, but soon her eyes widened like Ruby, and she quickly grabbed the maid's hand to check her body.
"Illya, don't be willful."
Rieses frowned and warned, "No injury should be taken lightly. It must be examined in detail. Otherwise, it may be the cause of failure."
"No, there's no need to check under the skirt."
Illya grabbed the maid's hand tightly, her cheeks flushed and she said loudly, "If the injury is also on the arms or thighs, there will be people aiming to hit them here."
"... Hmm~"
Rieses seemed to understand a little bit, and immediately grabbed the corner of Illya's skirt, trying to see if there was any injury under the skirt. However, Illya would rather die than obey... and firmly grabbed the maid's hand that was trying to lift the skirt.
Seeing this, Rieses thought... there might be hidden wounds under the skirt, and tried harder to lift Illya's skirt.
"Liz! What are you doing!!!"
Like a ghost whispering, Rieses's head was hit hard by a delicate white hand, and then a scolding voice came.
"Really... what are you doing."
"..."
Rieses released his hold on Illya's skirt, turned his head with some grievance, looked at the maid Sella who appeared behind him, and explained seriously:
"Checking... for any wounds."
"Even if you want to check the wound... it depends on the timing."
Sella twitched the corner of his mouth and turned to look at the maids around him. He saw that they were covering their eyes in a tacit understanding, but the gap between their fingers could not cover their sight at all.
