☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- It didn't sound like that at all... - he grumbles in response.
- Yes, let's go. Heidi-san, all the best. I hope we can visit again sometime.

- Bye-bye.

After a certain number of steps, Aiyano and Lord find themselves in a solemn and serene place.

Here there was a statue of Arselia, to which one could pray, a room where one could confess, and the abbot of this Temple was also visible.

- Strange, - Lord spoke to the man of faith in his usual tone, - where is Deththo?
The man frowned at being addressed in this way, but his eyebrows arched even more at the sight of Aiyano.
- Bruno, a humble servant of Arselia, - he introduced himself, - Deththo Jingai recently left this post.
- Died?
- Ran away.
- I see.
- Yes, that's right.
- I understand.
- ...
- ...
- He was always a strange man, but this time his paranoia went beyond its limits and turned into madness. He said that we, the servants of Arselia, are all facing imminent retribution. Isn't that foolish?
- Perhaps.
- Now, answer my question, Lord Ravenage.
- You know about me?
- I do.
- What is your question?
- How long do you plan to defile these sacred walls with this Acconian-Celestial abomination? - He points his rapier at Aiyano.
...
In unexpectedly slow motion, Aiyano sees Lord reaching for his ebon dagger.
