Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 63

“Let me explain the reason why I called you here in the first place.”

Aristera handed me a piece of paper, on which was written the following.

“Search for the man with red skin, clad in black clothing.”

“What is this?”

“It’s a divine message from God.”

The Saintess answered, and I remembered what the old man had said this morning.

“So this is a prophecy, and you receive prophecies through letters?”

“In Luna’s case, it’s usually a letter.”

“By ‘case,’ do you mean there are other ways of receiving prophecies?”

“Yeah, I’ve heard that the way prophecies come varies depending on the Saint, but let’s put that aside for now.”

“Ah, yes.”

I looked at the piece of paper with the prophecy again.

“There’s no doubt that the person in the prophecy is you.”

“I was shocked when I saw you at the cathedral.”

I looked at my own body.

“The features do match. I understand why you called me, but what do you need from me?”

Aristera and the Saintess both resumed serious expressions and began explaining what was happening in the Holy City.

“… and that’s what’s been going on.”

“So that Cardinal Gebhardt was saying he would take control of the Holy City?”

“Yeah… I definitely heard that.”

I couldn’t help but be shocked by how outrageous the situation was.

“After that, this prophecy arrived, so I’m sure Kingil will be the key to resolving this chaos!”

The Saintess leaned forward, passionately making her point.

“Yes, I think so too.”

Aristera nodded strongly in agreement.

“No, no, it’s hard to just be told something like that all of a sudden.”

I quickly shook my head in panic.

“I understand that it’s hard to suddenly hear something like this, but since it came from the prophecy, we really need your help.”

“Please, Kingil-kun!”

Aristera and the Saintess both bowed their heads, and seeing these two important figures do so made me even more flustered.

“O-okay, I understand! I’ll cooperate, so please raise your heads!”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you! Kingil-kun!”

The two of them lifted their heads, their expressions relieved.

“So, Aristera, Saintess, what exactly do you want me to do?”

“You can call me Aris.”

“You can call me Luna as well.”

“Then you can just call me Kingil too.”

Since Aris and Luna said it was fine, I decided to address them by their first names.

“So, Aris, what exactly am I supposed to do?”

At that, Alice and Luna made troubled faces.

“Well… I’m sorry to ask for your help, but we still can’t do anything yet…”

“Can’t do anything?”

“I just heard them talking, but I don’t have any evidence or anything…”

“I see, are there any other prophecies or messages?”

I asked Luna, but she shook her head.

“No, just this. It would be nice if God gave us a few more hints.”

Luna says with a wry smile.

“I’ve been keeping an eye on his movements recently, but I haven’t been able to catch any leads.”

“The man in the robe who was with him is also a mystery.”

While Aris sighs, Luna suddenly gets up and scans the room, looking at both of us.

“That’s why I thought of something! Why don’t we just ask him directly?”

Luna’s sudden suggestion made both Aris and I look at her with confused expressions.

“You can’t just ask him directly, that’s impossible…”

Luna smiles mischievously at Aris’s response.

“I’ll use my charm to get the information out of him!”

“What!?”

Aris lets out a ridiculous-sounding voice at Luna’s suggestion.

“No, no! That’s way too dangerous!”

“Luna, I’m against it too. It’ll be too late if something happens.”

“But I think that’s the only option we have left! If we don’t act, his so-called ‘rule’ might be finished!”

Neither Aris nor I could respond to Luna’s words.

“Can you even do that? You know… the charm thing…”

“If I set my mind to it, it’ll work! He was hitting on me the other day, so I think if I make a move, he’ll respond.”

“W-what!?”

Luna casually makes a shocking statement, and Aris once again raises her voice.

“Ah… didn’t I mention it…?”

“I didn’t hear about that! Are you okay? Nothing strange happened to you, right?”

“I’m fine, I politely refused at that time.”

Aris flustered, begins to check Luna’s body for any signs of harm.

“Aris-chan, I’m fine. I know you’re worried, but trust me.”

Aris hesitates at Luna’s serious gaze, then exhales a deep sigh.

“Alright… I’ll trust you with this… but please don’t do anything reckless. If anything happens to you, I…”

Aris looks as if she might cry, and Luna embraces her.

“Sorry for making you worry, but I’ll do my best.”

“Okay, Luna, I’m leaving it to you.”

Aris and Luna exchange looks and nod, then Luna turns her gaze towards me.

“Once we have the evidence, we’ll leave the rest to you. You’re the key to solving this turmoil.”

“Yes, leave it to me!”

I give a firm nod, looking straight into Luna’s eyes.

“Alright, let’s gather here again tomorrow!”

Luna finished the meeting with those words, and the strategy session ended.
