Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 60
“Geez… doing this so early in the morning…”
Aristera muttered complaints while giving Luna a lap pillow.
“Sorry, sorry, Aris-chan, please forgive me.”
Luna apologized with her words, but there was no sign of remorse, causing Aristera to sigh.
“Do you really think it’s okay for a Saintess to do something like this?”
“Eh, you’re being so stiff, Aris-chan. A kiss is just a greeting.”
“Kissing on the lips is not something you can call a greeting!”
Aristera scolded Luna firmly, her tone growing more intense.
“It’s not like we’re not close, and besides, we’ve done even more amazing things than that.”
“What!? Don’t talk about that kind of stuff here!”
“Hehehe, you’re blushing, Aris-chan. You’re so cute♡”
Aristera’s face turned bright red as she trembled, she jumped up, causing Luna’s head to fall onto the sofa.
“Ugh!”
‘I won’t give a lap pillow to someone who says things like that!”
“Mu~”
Aristera turned her back to Luna, and Luna pouted as she watched her from behind.
“So, how is he doing?”
Aristera asked Luna in a serious tone, unlike before, and Luna’s face turned anxious upon hearing it.
“So far, everything is normal.”
“…I see.”
The room became eerily quiet, and Aristera turned toward Luna.
“Luna… you’re sure you heard it?”
“Yes… he really said it… that he plans to rule the Holy City…”
Luna recalled what had happened back then.
＊＊＊＊＊
This happened about a week ago when Luna was hurriedly running down the corridor.
“Oh no, oh no, I left the Bible in the hall! There are some scribbles in it, if anyone notices, they’ll scold me!”
It was customary for the Saintess to pray in the cathedral’s hall every morning, and there had been a service today as well, but she had left the Bible behind.
When Luna returned to the hall and looked at the main altar, she saw the book placed there.
“Thank goodness! It’s here, I hope no one saw it…”
As Luna flipped through the Bible to confirm it was hers, she heard the sound of a door opening from the side of the hall. Since regular people enter through the main door, she realized it was someone from the church. Without thinking, Luna hid behind the altar.
(Why did I hide…?)
As Luna debated whether to leave or stay hidden, she heard a voice from the person who had entered.
“How’s everything going?”
“Yes! Everything is proceeding without any problems.”
Luna strained her ears, sensing something suspicious in their words.
“Alright, it’s almost time. Soon, I’ll rule this Holy City.”
(Rule the Holy City!?)
Hearing such an outrageous statement, Luna eyes widened.
“Alright, I’ll leave it to you.”
“Understood, Lord Gebhardt.”
(Gebhardt… Cardinal Gebhardt!?)
A man with white short hair and piercing eyes appeared in Luna’s mind. She quietly peeked from behind the altar and saw Cardinal Gebhardt and a robed figure entering through the door.
(I need to report this to Aris-chan!)
＊＊＊＊＊
“Hmm, so it’s Gebhardt and the robed individual.”
“From the voice, it sounded like a man.”
Aristera placed her hand on her chin, deep in thought.
“Regardless, it’s clear that Gebhardt is planning something sinister.”
“Can’t we arrest him right away?”
“There’s no evidence… No matter how much of a Saintess you are, it won’t be enough just because you heard it.”
“Yeah, I guess so…”
Luna slumped her shoulders in disappointment. Seeing that, Aristera let out a wry smile and placed a piece of paper on the desk.
“Looks like this is the key.”
“…Do you think someone like that really exists?”
The paper had the following written on it.
“Search for the man clothed in black with red skin.”
