creak..
Reinhardt opened the door of the building and went inside
what Reinhardt found when entering the building was that the building turned out to be a church in the village
'.....'
inside the church there are many traces of human blood and traces of cracks in the walls from the scratches of the demon race
it turned out that the place had been infested with demons for a long time and the priests in the church had been dead for a long time, eaten by the demons outside earlier
tap...tap
Reinhardt then went upstairs to the top floor of the church to find a comfortable place for his little princess to sleep
tap..tap
creak!
Reinhardt then went upstairs and found a locked room.after that he smashed the key with his fist to enter the room.
'creak..
tap..tap
'...'
the sound of the door was heard which indicated that the door had been opened. when Reinhardt entered the room what he found was a priestess sitting pale against a wall holding a cross
the priestess had black hair with black eyes and a plump body sitting leaning against the wall of the room with a body shaking from hunger and fear
tap..tap
'are you okay?
'A-ah!
when Reinhardt approached the priestess. the priestess made a very frightened expression as Reinhardt approached her
'Aaa-hmph!
'shhh!
The frightened priestess began to scream but Reinhardt quickly covered her mouth as he put his index finger to his own mouth to signal for silence
'hmph! hmph!
'keep quiet..
'A-ah...
'....'
the priestess began to insist on releasing Reinhardt's hand from her mouth but soon Reinhardt who felt distressed because of the insistence of the priestess began to point his finger at Kiara who was sleeping peacefully in her lap
the priestess who saw Kiara sleeping soundly in Reinhardt's lap began to be silent because she began to understand something
Soon the priestess began to try to remove Reinhardt's hand from her mouth and said
puff!
'its okay..I will not shout again..
'...'
the priestess said that to Reinhardt while Reinhardt then began to remove his hand from the priestess's mouth to make the priestess feel comfortable
puff
Cling..
'huff..
Reinhardt began to sit in front of the priestess while taking a breath because he felt calm right now
'....'
'....'
Reinhardt sat opposite the priestess while the priestess just stared at Reinhardt for a moment
as the situation progressed awkwardly around them the priestess began to open her mouth to ask who Reinhardt really was
'who are you?
'Im....
Reinhardt tried to explain his identity to the priestess but she began to feel confused to explain his true identity
'hello?
'....'
Reinhardt tried to think for a moment then and he then got an idea
'im just a fallen Knight from Alzaria Empire..
'...'
Reinhardt said as he looked down in shame while the priestess just fell silent when she heard the Empire's name
'so Alzaria Empire's has fallen into the hands of the demonic army huh
'that right..
It turned out that when the priestess heard Reinhardt's identity at that time, she had already concluded that the Alzaria Empire in the west had fallen into the hands of the demonic army at that time
so of course this isolated village was also invaded because the defense line in the west was destroyed
tap..tap
'what are you doing?
puff!
'hmm..
Reinhardt then stood up and started walking to a bed in the room and laid Kiara's body on the bed
Reinhardt tried to caress Kiara's cheek who was sleeping soundly while the priestess just froze when she saw Reinhardt who she thought was one of the demonic race had a very caring nature towards Kiara
'does someone like him from the demonic race have that kind of compassion for humans?
the priestess said in her mind. that time her brain was no longer able to work when she saw that weird situation
tap..tap
'hey! where are you going?
'...'
And soon Reinhardt was seen leaving his little princess and the priestess from the room holding the doorknob to open the broken door
'where are you going? at least tell me first!
the priestess said that in a desperate tone as her legs trembled because she hadn't been able to eat for so long
'I went out first to cleanse this village of the remaining demon race threats in this village and..you also look like you haven't eaten in a few days because you can't leave this room, right?
'that...right..
'Reinhardt said that while turning his back to the priestess while the priestess just stared at Reinhardt's figure at that moment
'then I will kill all the demon races in this village while looking for some food sources for you to eat and in return you have to keep my little princess from waking up from her sleep or danger until I get here understand?
'i-i understand sir..
'then, I will get going now!
'wait!
when Reinhardt was just starting to move his movement was stopped by the priestess
'what else?
Reinhardt looked back without turning his body towards the priestess
'ummm thank you for all your kindness!
'sorry i don't need your gratitude..
'huh? bu-but..
'because what I'm doing all this is for only my little princess who is sleeping soundly right now.. not for anyone including yourself
'huh?
'snore....
zap!
'.....'
Reinhardt said that as he walked out of the door of the room while the Priestess just stared as she turned to Kiara who was sleeping and looked back at the figure of Reinhardt who was starting to disappear from her sight
'even so..I want to thank you for the life you gave me this time..
The priestess just bowed down while holding both hands tightly on her chest as a form of prayer
'May the world find its peace from the hard work of people like you..
the priestess said that with a smile even though her body was still shaking because she hadn't been able to eat for so long
'hmmm snore..
zap!
zap!
'Urgh Argh!
zap!
grrrr!
roaaar!
grrr!
'aaarrrghhh!
kerchak!
grrr! urgh!
Kiara was just sleeping peacefully that time while outside the building Reinhardt was seen fighting hard to finish off one by one the demonic race outside the building
