The inside of the church was completely devoid of people.
「I can hear someone’s voice over there.」
We moved to the inner room Elena pointed at.
Inside the inner room, we encountered the criminal.
「You’re the person from before!」
The criminal pounced at me.
I caught both of the criminal’s hands and lifted her off the ground. Unable to move with her feet, she stopped struggling.
「Let me go!」
The criminal I caught became completely like a cat…
Well, they are actually a cat.
The criminal was a girl that looked about 10 years old with cat ears and a cat tail.
「Seiji-sama, please come here.」
Elena called me from an even further inner room.
「Don’t go there!」
I moved to the inner room ignoring the criminal girl’s frantic warning…
A woman about 24 or 25 dressed as a sister was painfully sleeping in the crude bed. She was probably in bed due to illness. The criminal girl seemed to have wanted the sick sister to eat the bread.
「This person’s illness, is it serious?」
「It is considerably painful. I will try to cure it with magic.」
Elena put a hand on the Sister’s forehead and began chanting magic.
「Ma-magic!」
The criminal girl I caught by both hands was surprised by Elena’s magic while hanging.
Elena’s magic was invoked and the sister’s body was bathed in light. Her pain seemed to have considerably lessened and she was able to calmly sleep.
「Is-is she healed?」
「Given time. I have cast heal on her a couple of times, she should get better.」
「T-thank you!」
The criminal girl thanked Elena.
Then 3 children came out from somewhere. Perhaps they were hiding somewhere.
The 3 of them looked around 5~8 years old and were a bit skinny.
「Sister, she won’t die?」
「It will be all right since the magic should ease the illness.」
