The investigation began,

It was not difficult to specify an entity that had falcon wings and dog fangs, and could create barriers that even the court mages and priests in the imperial palace could not destroy.

The imperial palace proclaimed the attacker as an 'unholy being', and was searching throughout the empire.

Seria said, as she handed a milk to me,

"The palace must be convinced it's not an attack from another country."

"It's a busy farming season. There's no threat from other empire, and there's no way they're going to attack them now. Unless they want to starve their people to death."

"Yes, what's important is that the child's devil was just announced as 'unholy beings' in the church, even though I'm sure they know that it's a devil.

I shrugged at the words of the chairman.

"The church would never declare it as devils."

The first reason why the church were supported by the imperial palace and noble families, also collected donations from the people was because they said they are protecting the empire from the devil.

There were many other causes, but the church was mainly built to prevent the devil.

However, the fact that the devil came to the earth is like abandoning they are abandoning their duties.

"They will never use the word 'devil' in the church unless I bring the devil to the church and attack them."

"Wouldn't you be able to make a bigger comeback by preparing for a war against the devil?"

At Seria's words, I looked out the window at the church.

"The pope considers honor even more important than the Duke of Vallua."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah. Christian became Pope by sacrificing the first priest, Günther, to seal the devil. He's almost like the devil itself."

"His honor comes before the lives of hundreds of millions of continents. That's stupid."

Seria opened her mouth while holding a teacup.

"Anyway, the investigation is going smoothly. the imperial family investigation team will soon come to the noble family."

"And to Vallua's mansion!"

It is obvious that the man is struggling to somehow re-enter the mansion that I had stolen to find a way out.

'But it's useless."

Because of the one who guards the Vallua mansion!

I covered my mouth and grinned.

Then, Seria put the tea cup down slightly on the tea coaster.

With her hands on her knees, she stared at me with clear eyes.

"Then right now, can you tell me now. Your identity."

I nodded lightly and said to the chairman.

"Bring Zachary and Trigon. It's a story they should also listen to."

"Trigon, too? If you need a mage, why dont you choose Veronica which is surely on your side....."

"It should be Trigon."

"Veronica has no desire for me to fulfill it."

"......Desire?"

"The chairman has a desire to meet his son Louis, Seria has a desire to find the children of the orphanage. Likewise, Zachary has a desire to protect his orphanage friends and become the strongest knight. Trigon, no, Wale... ."
