Chapter 178: 178 - - 178. May's Resolution

"Master Linos, the emissary of the Church of Crimiana wishes to see you."

"...okay. Let me through.

The ship transporting the sheepherders was only ten days away from arriving, when the messenger from the Church finally made contact. It had been about two weeks since they came to Agartha, and I had not been able to do anything to resolve the situation. I went to my grandmother for advice, but in the end, even she could not understand that the beasts were the source of the incurable disease. Even so, I could not banish the beastmen or capture the sheep-beastmen, nor did I give any orders to do so.

My memories of my past life give me an image of the terrible things that can happen when one makes an enemy of religion. This is the problem of terrorism. There is nothing we can do if terrorism occurs in every corner of the country. And I would never want to see or hear of a young child participating in such a terrorist attack. The more I hear about Crimeanism, the more fanatical it is. They would do such a thing, and in fact, they have done such a thing in the distant past. Considering such a situation, Crimeana had to be handled very delicately, and they were having a hard time dealing with it.

Knowing such a situation or not, Crimeana's emissaries did not leave the guest house at all and kept a quiet attitude. They would probably take the Pope's request as a cover and threaten him with high pressure. In that case, we have no choice but to make an excuse that we have our own circumstances and extend our answer. Thinking of this, I headed for the audience room of the guesthouse where they were waiting for me.

"Well, well, King Agartha, I'm glad to see you in such a good mood.

Kofresi, a male bishop, greeted us in a clear voice despite his small stature. Behind him, smiling and bowing reverently, is the female bishop, Jolina. I glare at them both and take my seat. Koffresi opens his mouth with a big smile.

Tomorrow we will stand in Garbee. We are here today to greet you.

"I see..."

The unexpected turn of events left me feeling a bit out of sorts. Koflesi, sensing my mood, continued with more words.

"As for the expulsion of the beastmen, it will take some time. It does not have to be right away. We will now proceed to Garbee and sail from there. On the way, we will stop at the capital of the Kingdom of Ramallon, where we will house the Seelenguteri, and then sail to Aphrodite. We will then return to Agartha. At that time, I would like to have a long talk with you about this matter.

"...I still can't believe that the beastmen are the source of the incurable disease."

"Ho-ho-ho. King Agartha is a kind man. I'm sure his merciful heart will lead the people of Agartha to happiness. Oh, by the way... Hasn't King Agartha been baptized yet? I am sorry that I was so careless. Please baptize me the next time you see me.

"Unfortunately, I'm not religious."

I tried my best to be sarcastic, but they were unfazed, still smiling. After a few moments of silence, the bishopess opens her mouth.

"With all due respect, Your Highness, the queen, Riccolette, has already been baptized into the Crimiana cult. There will be time before we return to Agartha. In the meantime, please hear from Likolette how the religion of Klimiana has saved and honored the human race, and how precious the blessings of the Lord Goddess Klimiana are. I am sure that King Agartha will be moved by this story and will be drawn to the religion of Klimiana.

With clear, unclouded eyes, the bishop speaks to me. Her words were strangely persuasive because her appearance still had the innocence of a young girl.

"Well, be careful on your way home.

With these words, I left the room.

In the evening, when I returned to the house, I told everyone that Klimiana's messenger would return tomorrow. Everyone had a look of relief on their faces.

"Well... I guess we can stay here until the messenger comes back..."

The one who mumbled involuntarily was Willis, who has been staying at the mansion since the other day.

"Don't worry, Willis. I have no intention of banishing you. And the beastmen. We'll find a way. May, Sadie, can you think of a way to save the beastmen? Please. I'll try various means of freeing May's criminal slaves."

"It's okay... I'll take care of it.

May opens her mouth with a tense look on her face.

"Lady May, I will help you. I will help you. Together we will find a way. I'll talk to my father and see if we can get the dwarves to help us.

"Sadie, please. Please help May. We'll go to the deer god soon. Me, Mei, Sadie and I will go there.

I'm going with you.

"Yes, Gon. You're coming with us. Rico, Ferris, Ruara, Soleil, Mato... You're all going to have to help us."

Everyone nods with serious expressions. But for some reason, Rico's reaction is weak. I was a little concerned, but decided not to pursue the matter at this point.

"Tomorrow is my day off. Let's eat something good for the first time in a while! If it rains, I'll cook something in the house. Fried chicken...cake...zenzai...?"

"Don't worry, I'll do my best to make it."

"No, I'll do it myself once in a while, since you're always doing it, Peris!

"Oh, well then, when it rains, Ferris will be the head cook and cook something. Peris is an advisor. I'll help too, so let me know if you need anything.

"I agree - we'll have something delicious!"

Finally, I could see the smiles on everyone's faces. With a sense of relief at this sight, we closed the party.

At night, when I was alone with Rico in the bedroom, I asked him about what had happened earlier.

"Rico... about earlier..."

"..."

Rico remained face down and did not speak. I hug Rico from behind.

"Wasn't Rico baptized by the Crimiana cult? Is it still distasteful to go against the Pope's request?"

"...I don't know."

"You don't understand?"

"I was taught from an early age .... She is the one who protects us, the one who guides us on the right path. The Church of Klimiana is a nation that has been saving mankind for centuries. It must be so, since they announced it. But is banishing the beastmen the solution? There is a cure for this, but it will cost a lot of sheep and beastmen. What is there for us to live on such sacrifices...? The Klimianas have never persecuted beasts before.... I don't know... I don't know... I don't know."

Rico holds his head and shakes his head. I hug Riko tighter. Just then there is a knock at the door.

"...Master, it's Meirius."

"Oh, May. Come in, come in."

I pull myself away from Rico. Right after that, the door opens and May walks in.

"...Where's Alyria?"

"He's sleeping in his room."

"I see..."

May looked straight at me and Riko and opened her mouth.

"Master Rico, I'm sorry, but I would like to be your master's companion tonight, if that's all right."

Rico nodded slowly. He then stood up and gently took Eril in his arms as he laid him down in his crib.

"I think it would be better if Mei stays with you today."

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry."

May bowed her head apologetically. Rico smiles gently and walks slowly toward the door.

"Rico-sama!"

Suddenly, May calls out to him.

"Please take care of Allyria... please take care of Allyria..."

Saying this, May bowed deeply to Rico.

"Don't worry, Mei. I'll take care of Alyria. I'll be fine."

Rico left the bedroom with a gentle smile on his face.

May watched her, then slowly approached me and hugged me.

"Mei.... It's okay. I'll protect you, I promise."

"I'll take care of it. I'll take care of it. I'll take care of it.

"Mei..."

I hugged her tightly and tight.

When I woke up in the morning, May was gone. And there was a note on my pillow.

...... Meilius>>

"May..."

I muttered her name, stunned. And May didn't come back until noon.

"This is a wonderful use of Agartha's water resources, isn't it?"

"Yes, it is. It seems that the rumor about the king of Agartha being a good warding master was true. I had no idea that this stone has a warding effect..."

Kofreshi and Jolina are having such a conversation. They were on a raft from the city of Agartha, heading down the river toward Garbee.

"At this speed, we should be there before the scheduled time," said Jolina.

Koffresi mutters to no one in particular.

"Was it your idea to go down the river on this raft?"

Jolina turns around and opens her mouth.

"No..."

A small voice, like a mosquito's, is heard. Jolina hears the voice and smiles with satisfaction.

Jolina looks at Meirias, a beautiful she-cat, the second queen of Linos, King of Agartha.
