Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 59
The light from the stained glass illuminated the hall brightly. There, about thirty men and women were neatly arranged in six rows, each wearing white armor.
In front of the line stood a boy and a girl. The boy wore the same white armor as the others, while the girl was clad in golden armor. The girl had long blonde hair braided into a single braid and was staring straight ahead with her purple eyes.
This was the great cathedral in the holy city of Phyllis, where the hall, usually filled with worshippers coming to pray, was now occupied only by these men and women.
Not a single voice was heard, and the hall was enveloped in silence. After a while, the sound of a door opening was heard, and a silver-haired girl in a white robe entered from the right.
The girl walked quietly toward the center, her long silver hair swaying with each step. When she stopped, she turned to face the rows, and the morning sun shone from behind her, making her silver hair seem to glow.
“Everyone! Salute!”
When the silver-haired girl turned to face them, the girl in golden armor at the front of the rows raised her voice. In response, everyone placed their right arms in front of their chests and saluted.
The silver-haired girl looked over everyone and opened her mouth.
“Good morning, knights. Now, let us begin the morning prayer.”
A clear, dignified voice echoed through the hall, after which the knights assumed a prayer pose with their hands clasped, listening to the silver-haired girl’s words of prayer.
This morning prayer was held every day and was part of the knights’ daily routine. It marked the start of their day.
When the silver-haired girl’s prayer ended, she looked around at everyone again.
“Well then, everyone, I look forward to working with you today.”
When she bowed, the knights all bowed in unison. Just as it seemed the ceremony was over, she looked at the girl in golden armor and spoke.
“Commander Aristera, please come to my office later.”
“Yes! Understood!”
The girl named Aristera bowed respectfully to the silver-haired girl. The silver-haired girl nodded silently in response and then walked toward the door she had come through.
“That’s the situation, Deputy Captain Roin. Can I leave the rest in your hands?”
“Leave it to me, Captin.”
The man called Roin, with his yellow-green hair parted in the middle and glasses, gave a salute to Aristera.
As Aristera watched Roin begin to give instructions to the knights, she walked toward the door the silver-haired girl had exited earlier. She left the hall and moved deeper into the cathedral. To the right of the cathedral stood a tower, and above it was the silver-haired girl’s office.
Upon reaching the door, Aristera paused for a moment to take a deep breath. Then she knocked on the wooden door. The sound of the knock was sharp and pleasant, followed by the same clear, dignified voice saying, “Yes.”
“It’s Aristera.”
“…You may enter.”
Inside, there was a sofa and chairs for guests near the door, while at the back were a desk and chair where she sat.
“Please lock the door.”
Aristera locked the door.
“Is there anyone outside?”
“No, I’ve checked, and there’s no one nearby.”
“Is that so…”
The silver-haired girl stood up from her chair, walked briskly toward Aristera, and suddenly hugged her, pressing their lips together.
“Mmm…! Mmm… Luna, wait… no…!”
“Sorry, Aris-chan… just a little… mmm.”
The Saintess, Luna, whose face had completely changed from before, now wore a friendly expression and didn’t let go of Aristera for a while.
