Chapter 694: A Certain Girl and the Wooden Hero (side: Miria)
“The minion of the devil is definitely not allowed in the sacred Ridom Palace!”
He has a striking, almost elastic-looking moustache, and the sharp corners of his eyes look crafty. At the Ridom Palace, the priest Dogon has led several warrior priests to stand in our way.
We explained in simple terms what had happened, but they didn’t want to hear any of it. They insisted that the apocalypse is an evil dragon, that they were supporting Jornes-sama, and monsters could not be allowed into the palace.
“…Priest Dogon, you should have been in the underground prison. Why are you outside?”
Meltia-san asks with a cramped expression.
As it seemed Priest Dogon’s idea that ‘We should all offer up our bodies and souls to Jornes-sama as citizens of the Holy City,’ would cause a revolt, his subordinates tipped us off and we locked him underground. And then, sometime after the important figures in the shelter had headed out to attack Jornes, he had been released from his confinement.
“The people came to me for guidance after the appearance of the Dragon of Revelation! Everybody finally realised that Saint-sama couldn’t possibly have been slaughtering us without reason.”
I rub my forehead.
“I’ll admit that I lost my composure and erred! Jornes-sama wasn’t revived as an angel in order to rescue mankind! She’s here to recruit warriors to defeat the Dragon of Revelation!”
