The day after Shiloh's tentative birthday party in the port city of Ilgafa...
Me, Rita and Leticia transferred to the "retreat area Micheline".
We were there to pick up Cecil and Rafilia at the holy woman's cave.
After we went to the Ancient Elven City, Cecil and Rafilia stayed behind in the saint's cave.
Cecil and Rafilia decided to stay behind in the cave of the Ancient Elf City to help her build a golem to hold the soul of Uriella Grace, the Ancient Elf Wataru.
She also said that she wanted to pass on her skills to Cecil and the others.
We haven't received any word from the saint yet.
But I was curious about her, so I decided to pick her up and see how she was doing.
""Ceeeeeee. Delilira...
When we went to the front of the cave, we tried to call out to them.
'Hmph, hahahahahahaha! I couldn't wait for you!
As if at any time, the entrance to the cave opened and a golem saintess appeared.
She had a lot of golems behind her, and she had a strange echo in her voice.
She looks very villainous. Or, she looks like a scientist who developed a secret weapon.
"It's a Raphilia influence.
How did you know that?
Well, that's too bad. It's my son, you know.
I'm so sorry for what I've done. Saint Delilira.
Next to me, Leticia dropped to her knees.
She placed a slender sword and a circular shield (round shield) on the ground.
'The sword and shield you gave me, saint, I have put to good use. Let them be used as a righteous nobleman to help protect the people.
"Oh! 'It's Mr. Letitia!'
'Yes. It's nice to see you, Saint.
''I'm glad to see you too, Delilira. Then you should go and try the dungeon!
The saint then looked at Rita.
Rita and Leticia easily broke through the dungeon before. This time it's amazing. It's powerful!
My Lady.
What is it, Nagi?
''Before that, I need to talk to Cecil and Rafilia. Also, I have a report about an incident related to the Demon King.
"We'll get to that later.
Yeah.
"Because if you're calm, Nagi-kun, then the case is already solved, right?
The Golem Saintess chuckled.
''If it wasn't, you'd be in more of a hurry, or you'd be bringing someone else who's in trouble. If not, then the case related to the Demon King has already been solved, right? Isn't it?
Yes, but...
"See?
But it was a big deal. I'll be talking to Her Ladyship about it.
''What do you think is more important, Delilira-san's dungeon attack or the Demon King?
Even if you say so.
The Demon Lord's Orb is already in my hand, and my abilities have been rewritten and rendered harmless.
The 'Demon Lord Deficiency Syndrome' is gone.
There are no more martial arts competitions to choose a brave man.
I'm going to investigate the 'Town where wizards and alchemists gather' later, but for now, there's no way to do it yet.
When you think about it, the important thing is...
...... dungeon capture, maybe?
"See?
Why are you making a 'I'll do it' face, saint?
'I understand. I'll try the dungeon.
'Mm-hm. It's good to be honest. Nagi-kun.
'But first, you'll have to match it with Cecil and Raphilia.
''Hmph. I can't discuss that with you.'
For some reason, the saint who snickers.
What do you mean you can't let me see you ......?
...... What's going on between you two?
''Because it was Cecil-kun and Rafilia-kun who made the new dungeon. If you let them meet before the attack, the story will be exposed!
'How is that possible, saint!
Huh? Funny.
I thought Cecil and Raphilia were supposed to be making a golem to put Uriella's soul in?
'What happened to Miss Uriella's golem?'
It's already done. Uriella and Lyra have left to go home for good.
You work fast: ......
'I can do that much. Delilira-san is a saint.
'Maybe I had some extra time after that, so I instructed Cecil and Raphilia in dungeon building ...... or something?
That's right! I said to them both, 'Show Nagi how you learned and grew up in Delilira's cave. They were both enthusiastic.
