???????

The next day, Cordelia went to the church with Ronnie and met up with Clarice.

Clarice had said she had the day off today and was wearing a simple outfit: a blouse with a brooch, a long skirt and armed with a sword.

Thank you for showing me around today, Clarice-sama.

Im looking forward to it, Cordelia-sama. And, Eris-san.

Hello.

Well, lets start with the stained glass and leave the stone statue for later. There are a lot of things to see from chairs to candlesticks.

Clarice started her explanation without any idle chat because they had been interrupted yesterday. Cordelia looked around the church as they moved to the stained glass in front of the church. She had been nervous yesterday, but in addition to chairs and candlesticks, as Clarice had stated, there were also rare stones in the floor.

(There really is a lot of rare items. Im thankful that Clarice-sama is showing me around, but do we have enough time for her to explain everything?)

Cordelia panicked a little in front of all the cultural assets. How long would it take for her to explain all these cultural assets? I might not have time to see Shelley.

(But it should be easy for me to notice something strange if Im close by.)

In addition to the knights on guard, Clarice and Ronnie were also here. They should be able to fulfil the minimum role for crime prevention. Cordelia also thought that she needed to meet Shelley, but it was too hasty of her to say that now. If she gets the timing wrong, then people might suspect her of scheming something.

Cordelia-sama, you said you read about it in a book, so I dont think I need to explain the basics, but the name of this stained glass is 『The Descent of the Saint』. It depicts the Saint who descended from the sky to help the first King build this kingdom.

Cordelia also knew about the history that Clarice was talking about.

Just like history in Japan, the kingdom had a lot of myths from its early days. The kingdom had a history of about a thousand years, but it was a thousand years behind Japan, where people used smartphones freely, so it wasnt weird for them to think that ghosts appeared in front of them. She even believed that there might be ghosts in this world, since it had magic.

She was someone who was born with her previous life memories, so it wouldnt be strange for a saint to descend from the sky.

――― Now then, Ill talk about the stone statue.

She had only intended to think for a short while, but she had pondered for so long that the topic changed. Cordelia reflected because she had done something rude.

This stone statue is of the evangelist who looked over the First King and the Saint.

Evangelist?

We dont know the evangelists name or gender. However, it is said that the official records from the period in which the evangelist lived was mostly written by the person themselves.

I see.

I heard that the evangelist had a diary, separate from the official records they wrote. However, their diary isnt counted as an official record, and not a lot of manuscripts were printed because they wrote a lot of bad things about the church, but you might be able to find a copy at the Big Bookcase. Ive never seen it before, but I hear that they wrote a lot about the interactions between the First King and the Saint.
