Chapter 172: Church of Love, Ride the Express Train to Hell! (2)
"What a crazy bitch."
Eric, an investigator from the Church of Love, grumbled as he sat in a remote back alley of the Peta Territory. He was talking about Sieri, who had just stepped forward as the 'Acting Lord'. Her long, orange hair and large, moist eyes gave her a weak impression. But the words that came out of that slender body were nothing but vicious insults.
"What? 'Fuck you'? She must have said that because she trusts the Knight Commander or the beastfolk next to her."
Sieri's provocation had successfully gotten to Eric. Blushing bright red, Eric had argued that it was an insult, only to be pushed out of the mansion by Robin's physical strength. He hadn't had the guts to challenge Robin, who had glared at him, threatening to use force if he caused any more trouble. So, Eric had spat on the ground and fled into the alley.
"So the Church of Love is a joke to them, huh?"
Eric couldn't hold back his anger and snapped again. Even though the tobacco in his hand had burned all the way down, Eric was more focused on chewing out Sieri than on his smoke. His two men just exchanged glances, wary of Eric's mood. One of them asked him.
"But, boss. What do we do now? If we can't get into the mansion, we can't even confirm if Sir Priest is all right, can we? There are a lot of rumors that the Archdeity Church has been wary of the Church of Love lately. If we screw up here, we could be in real trouble."
"What's there to be in real trouble about? The High Priest himself isn't even here, and this case is, what's it called, a clear case of reflux. You get it? Huh? They're holding our Sir Priest in reflux."
"Don't you mean detention?"
