I almost stumbled and ran to Alan's house.
Like other houses, Alan's home had fallen into disrepair, turning into stone and log ruins in the earth-shaking tremors.
In front of the dilapidated house, a sparse group of people stood, most of them looked grim, or face sad, gathered around to talk. There were a few people lying around, covered in blood and mud, but still with slow heaving chests, all seemingly alive by the look of them.
I saw Aria and Barry among the standing crowd, all dirty but not missing an arm or a leg and both looking healthy.
"...... Ha--"
I breathed a long sigh of relief, my little heart hanging high finally fell, my feet were weak and almost unable to stand.
I was afraid that they, like Uncle Doyle, would be crushed in the rubble and would never speak to me again.
"Aria, Barry!"
I shouted at them.
Hearing the sound, the two looked back with some surprise.
"Sylve, are you all right?!"
"Sylve! Great!!!"
Aria jumped over and hugged me tightly in her arms.
"It's really great that you're okay ...... I was so scared ...... I was all ready to go find you ......"
Aria buried her head into my neck and took a deep breath as she always does.
Well, it was the smell of lilac. And after sweating, the fragrance evaporated, turning the originally light smell into a fragrant and refreshing one .....
Aria rubbed her neck on my neck, rubbing and rubbing.
"..... Aria, go!"
The actual Aria's thoughts are only about the monster that is about to burst out of the abyss, and no one knows better than me how terrible that thing is.
That is the real natural disaster, now is not the time to express the joy. Before it comes, I must get as many people as possible to go farther.
At least get Aria and Barry to go far enough to meet up with Grandma in the next town. It shouldn't be too affected there, at least not yet.
Only then will I be able to let it go.
"...... What's wrong, Sylve?"
Aria seemed a bit puzzled.
"Get out of here! Leave, the village. There are monsters that are coming!"
I shouted to the dumbfounded people.
"...... Monsters?"
Aria, Barry, Alan, and the people gathered around the side, all had puzzled expressions on their faces.
"Sylve ...... What has become of the house now, how did you take out the samarium knife."
Barry some confusion looking at my hands of the large scythe.
"Everyone, all go! Aria, let everyone, go!!!"
My heart was burning and I looked at Aria anxiously, hoping that she would trust me and take everyone out of here quickly.
Aria could see my anxiety but couldn't understand what I meant and hesitated for a while. If everyone left, then the people still alive buried down there, wouldn't they just have to wait to die?
"Sylve, uh ......" Alan and I do not have much contact, at this moment facing me actually some shy, scratching the slightly red cheeks said, "I think, now should go as far as possible to save people, why should we go?"
"There, monster! Right away!!!"
At this moment, I extremely hate my ability to express myself. It would be great if I could properly say what was on my mind.
"Monster? What monsters?!"
Hearing my statement, the crowd was a bit stunned.
"Sylve, what the hell is going on and why are we running away now? There are still many people buried under the ruins!!!"
Aria looked at me incredulously and said with wide eyes.
What to do ......
I was silent.
That familiar feeling of closeness was getting stronger and stronger, and I knew they had come out of the mire of the abyss.
What should I do to make these people obey me?
...... Oh yes, the cloak! Maybe the cloak can help me out!
I pulled the cloak off as soon as I could and held it up in front of them.
"Now, I, Sylvega Labis-Hermes. In the name of the Holy, Church, I order you to evacuate from the, village, immediately! There shall be no, mistake!!!"
The Holy Church has a rather high status in this world. I knew this well, so I announced to them in a righteous manner. Despite my efforts to make myself look majestic, I was actually quite apprehensive inside.
There was a moment of surprise and hesitation from the crowd.
"Sylve, you ......" Aria looked at me with a complicated face.
"I, Sylvega Labis-Hermes, am, the Holy Church, the highest executive. You, want to, disobey. Church's, orders?" This is of course I made up, what the Supreme Executive of the Holy Church, there is no such title I have deep doubts, but at this time is really no other way.
This is the bearded swordsman's cloak, like him so ferocious human, in the Holy Church's status should not be low, the complex pattern on the back of the cloak, but also must have some special symbolism.
"This ...... This is ...... This is the coat of arms of the papal knight!!! I know! This is, Lord Pope Knight!!!"
After a short silence, someone in the crowd seemed to recognize the pattern on the cloak, and the phrase blew up everyone.
"Lord Pope Knight?!"
"Sylve, it's the Pontifical Knight!!!!"
"Lord Pope Knight, but the hero of humanity!!!"
Aria and Barry were dumbfounded at this moment.
They knew that this was the cloak that Sylve wore when she arrived, and had also noticed the pattern printed on it a long time ago.
But they had never given much thought to how deep the symbolism of the ragged cloak that hung in the house every day, with the flower-like pattern that looked like it was wrapped in some weird texture.
Although they do not know the pattern, but they also know the papal knight.
There are people in this world who don't know about the Pope's knights, no.
That is completely different from the church knight. The Pope's knight, the pinnacle of the human race is worthy to grant the name, is only to obey the Pope, the most mysterious and powerful brave, is to kill all the evil heroes.
It is impossible for them to touch the existence.
Sylve, the girl who looks soft and frail on the outside. The girl who couldn't do farm work and needed their care.
It was the Pope Knight of the Holy Church?!!!
It was the hero of humanity!!!?
How is it possible.
Both Barry and Aria, at this moment, faced with such nonsense, both held varying degrees of doubt.
It was simply unbelievable.
This girl that they were spending time with was actually the Lord Pope Knight?!!!
What a joke.
"Sylve ...... What are you kidding ......"
The corners of Aria's mouth trembled slightly with an unbelievable expression.
"Sylve ......"
Compared to Aria, Barry, after the initial moment of shock, has become somewhat convinced after a little bit of thinking.
Although it was indeed unbelievable.
But that cloak, indeed, was worn by her. He knew from early on that her identity was not simple, at least a big nobleman's relatives.
He even fantasized that she was a fallen princess of some fallen country, because by chance she was stranded in this small village, slowly impressed by his sincere feelings, and eventually would marry him, a poor boy's story.
But he also did not expect that the identity of her was so uncomplicated.
She is actually, the Holy Church's Pope Knight!!!
That's the hero of all mankind, the hero he worships even in his dreams.
............
The Pope's knight? What the hell is that?
I have question marks written all over my heart, I have no idea what a papal knight is, is it awesome?
...... Well, looking at their reaction, it should be particularly awesome.
So I immediately went along with their words and said.
"That's right, I order you, in the name of, the papal knights, to, immediately, get out of, this area."
It was almost too late.
Not far away, the scent was getting closer and closer, thicker and thicker.
"Sylve ...... My Lord, has something grim happened? Really do not need to go to the rescue?"
"Monster, incoming attack. Immediately, evacuate."
I said in an unquestionable tone.
"Sylve ......"
Aria wanted to say something else.
"Move!!!"
I opened my eyes in anger and tried to overwhelm them with my aura.
But helplessly, my face is too soft-looking, even if I make a fierce expression, in everyone's eyes, it can only be ...... Cute, right?
Damn, that bearded swordsman, who usually followed me closely, but just disappeared at this important moment.
"Aria, Barry. Take, as many as you can, as many people as you can. Go, get out of here."
"What about you ......"
Aria said with some concern.
"I'm ...... Go save, the others."
The large scythe in his hand danced in the air, flashing up the silver light hissing through the air.
"Clang--"
scythe pointed down diagonally, cloak lifted long hair.
Turn around, step, and move forward.
Come on, let’s fight.
