13 Oh, my best friend, friend of the name.

It wasn't until noon that I left Aim with Shura. The villagers were very disappointed that Shura was leaving, but at the same time they did not spare the fact that they had found a lifelong companion. Ultimately, Shura bursts into tears with apology and gratitude, and the start is delayed for a while.

Ah, this woman has a lot of tears in her eyes, unlike her usual manners.

“Come on, let's go. ”

“Yes.”

Shura and I hurried through the Drewin Mountains. I saw some magic on the way, but I ignored it this time. It's because I was troubled to waste a day in Aim.

There was still plenty of time, but Shura needed to make haste.

Shura has pale blue skin and red eyes that are very close to Moonelf, a force of darkness. I could be mistaken for a spy who passes through the land of the Light Empire, Josrahim, so I needed to travel in secret only at night.

And Shura is not as fast as I am. While I was on my way, I was teaching Assassin's mobility skills, but I had to waste a lot of time anyway.

‘But it's freezing time. ’

We were able to arrive at Divinum Sanctuary exactly nine days later. From now on, it was a relief. The Divinum Shrine is the best shrine in the continent where St. Prosia and the Seven Saints preached civilization and faith to the world in the past, and no nation can deploy troops.

If someone sends an army here to the Holy Land, it is considered sacrilege and gains contributions from all countries and churches around the world. This means that we can go to war with the entire continent.

Even if my father and uncle were large, we could not send an inspection force to Divinum Sanctuary.

“There.”

After half a day, Shura and I arrived safely near Divinum Castle. There were no inspections as expected. The paladins guarding the sanctuary and the venereal disease were in some places, but they did not stop them in particular. It is because there are many inhabitants of the Dark Party who have come to the pilgrimage to Divinum.

“The castle, it's huge. ”

Shura was greatly amazed at the endless wall of Divinum Castle. She seems to have never seen such a magnificent castle.

“Yes, because it's a shrine to all the religions of the world, including light and darkness. ”

The castle of Divinum contained the central temple of all the churches of the world, including the one in place of Divinum. Due to hundreds of thousands of pilgrims visiting each year, commerce was also very advanced. Perhaps a little further away from Yosrahim Palace, glamour and luxury are the world's foremost cities.

“I suppose so.”

“So be careful. It's a place where light and darkness coexist, so if you're wrong, it can lead to a big fight. And if you have an accident, you're grounded for life. Remember.”

“Yes.”

After a short walk, I saw a group of armed mercenaries outside the gates of Divinum Castle and stopped. I saw a stranger among them. The other car is Roland, a knight from the Grand Duke's estate.

Roland knows very well that I was one of the escorts who escorted me to the Imperial Noble School.

‘Oh, I'm trying. What if he gets caught? ’

It was clear that he was looking for me. Since I collided with my father about going to Divinum Shrine before I ran away, anyone can predict that I might come here to Divinum Shrine.

The problem is that this is humanity's largest sanctuary. Even if Father is a foreigner of the Empire, he will suffer greatly if he is found to have dispatched troops into the Holy Land.

Shra approaches.

“Master, what brings you here? ”

“There's a disturber coming to get me. ”

“So what do we do? ”

I sat on a nearby rock chin.

“Let's wait.”

“But it's noon in a few hours. ”

The Sacred Hall is alternated between the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness. The Church of Light in a strange time and the Church of Darkness in a dark time. And the neutral god force can be used at any time.

However, the time period when the Church of Light regards the most holy is noon when it is brightest. So I set the opening hours of the Holy Chapel at noon, and I got my first yo-yo here today.

“Of course.”

“Then you shouldn't be here, should you? You said you had to go in first to get what you wanted. ”

“But you don't have to overdo it. We can get in by noon. ”

“How? ”

The solution was simple: borrow a wagon from your fellow Imperial School comrades.

In fact, noble students who graduate from Imperial Noble Schools are usually visited in the Sacred Hall that same year. It is because it is the right age to enter the Holy Hall. Of course, I can go later, but I'm in a hurry, so there's not much of that happening.

It is because your life depends heavily on whether you get wonder or not.

People recognize the owner of wonder as an adult blessed and blessed by God. And this has a huge impact on the family tree.

‘The Lord God loves. ’

This alone makes it easier to manage the territory, but for the father who would inherit the title, he could go to heaven because of his child, so he needed to show up in advance.

Now that I think about it, it's not funny, but it's also a social phenomenon that is happening progressively.

“One of my friends is named Hubeio, and he's going to be a little late today because of his personal situation. You can borrow his wagon and go. ”

Hubeio is my best friend when I was in Imperial Noble School. He is a classmate of the legitimate successor of the Duke family, Ferrero, the best wizard family in the empire, and I visited him personally and made him a friend.

However, Hubeo passes this way at a short time today. I'm late helping my father with his magic research, but I arrive an hour before the Holy Chapel opens.

“Hoveo. Are you close?”

“Yes, this is my best friend. You can call him a friend. ”

However, Hubeio will die at the Polkin Gateway, the first battlefield of the Prosia continental coalition and magic. It was a pity.

Not long after, you see a fast approaching nutmeg wagon from a distance. The crest of the wind on the front of the wagon looked like a carriage from the Duke of Ferreiro.

This must be my friend Hubeio. I don't really know how many years it's been. I blocked the way with my greetings and yearnings and yelled at the whales.

“Hoveo! My friend! It's me!”

The wagon stops sharply, and the cavalry escorts draw their swords. It seemed to them that the current fly was nothing more than that or less.

“Moron! Who are you to stop? ”

The knights shouted as usual. Normally, even Behr wouldn't be a problem, but this is a shrine. I couldn't look at the blood without thinking.

Then I continued to call Hubeo.

“Hubeo, it's me. Your friend!”

Soon, a brown-haired young man pushed out a slight head through the wagon window. Hubeio stares at me for a long time, looking at me with a flimsy look on his face and tucking his head back into the wagon.

I clenched my fist.

“Hoveo, I saw you checking me out! ”

Soon, you hear Hubeo's voice, crying.

“Khh. I know him. Get in the wagon. ”

As expected, it was Hubeo. I recognize the day in the shade at once. Well, we were best friends in school together.

The knights come out embarrassed and lead Shura to the wagon.

Inside the wagon was an elderly gentleman dressed in luxurious noble attire, and with a white mustache.

I climbed into the wagon with Shura and grabbed Hubeio's awkward shoulder.

“It's been a long time, Hubeio. Hey, how long has it been? ”

“Oh, it's been about a month, right? Good to see you.”

It's been a few years for me, but it's been a month for Hubeo. I saw you at the graduation ceremony a month ago.

I looked at the old gentleman accompanying me.

“But who is it? ”

“Ah, the butler of my family. ”

“Yeah? But the wagon's a little cramped. ”

Hubeo frowns. This wagon is a Nutmeg wagon. Four is enough.

Hubeio soon gave the butler his eye.

“Sir George. You need to leave. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Immediately after Lord George left, the wagon left again. Hubeo looks carefully at me, and asks a quick question.

“You ran away?”

“Yes, but how did you know? ”

“I sent men to my family to find you in the Imperial Court. ”

“Really? You didn't say anything, did you? ”

“Actually, there was nothing to talk about. ”

Hubeo is interested in Shura for a while. I was curious about the light blue skin revealed under the hood.

“But isn't she the Moon Elf? ”

“Yes, that's right. But my father is a High Elf. ”

Shra presses the hood even more.

“Amazing. I've never seen a female elf. ”

I put my arm around Shura's shoulder.

“This is my lover, don't be blinded. ”

“Oh, is that your boyfriend? ”

“Well, I'm a little competent. ”

Hubeio was very jealous. Women elves are very beautiful, but they give little affection to human men. That's why it was almost impossible for high-ranking nobles to take a female elf as a lover.

“I see.”

As the wagon grazes Lord Roland's party, I turn my back on the tracker.

He was a warrior. Lord Roland, dressed in mercenary uniform, had no courage to stop the Duke of Ferreiro's wagon. If you do, the Guardians' swords will fly.

However, the paladin guarding the gates was inevitable. They stood in our way, demanding proper identification.

Soon after Hubeo's inspection, I gave out the identity card I received from the recently deceased mercenary.

“Here.”

The paladin sees my identity card and throws suspicious glances at me and Hubeo's group for a moment. I was disguised as a mercenary, and I couldn't help but notice that Hoveo, a high-ranking noble's son, was riding in a wagon with me.

“Confucius Hubeo. Why are you in a wagon with a mercenary? ”

Hubeio casts his eyes at me. A mercenary? I had no idea what I was doing.

“The mercenaries who helped me, they're treating me. ”

“Oh, really? I understand.”

The paladin has opened the way. Hubeo's identity is so clear, he has no reason to stand in his way anymore.

As you enter Devinum Castle, you see a chaotic street. Endless shops and massive temples line the streets. In fact, it was the most sacred aspect of mankind.

I snorted. It also smells like bread from nearby bakeries.

“Looks like you have a bakery. ”

“Hungry? Can I get you some bread? ”

In my words, Hubeio reacted immediately.

Oh, I miss you. The bread that Hubeo bought carefully during school was really delicious. But now the time is too short. I didn't have time to waste eating bread.

< Oh, my best friend, a friend whose name I miss. > End
