A beautiful animal-eared shrine maiden who looks like a fairy is asking for information about Saint Kallen along the way, traveling to Europe.
Is it a trap?
When Otto first learned about this, his initial thought was that someone was plotting against him!
But then he dismissed this possibility.
Today, more than five hundred years later, no one knows his true obsession, and no one knows the full scope of his plan.
It is impossible for someone to plot against him in this way!
Based on this understanding, Otto quickly ordered a thorough investigation of all the information about this strange shrine maiden. The intelligence department of Schicksal lived up to the huge amount of funds poured into it every year and sent detailed information to Otto.
"The shrine maiden who calls herself Yae Sakura first appeared in the ruins of Nagazora City, killed zombies, saved people, and asked all the way how to get to Europe - Nagazora City, huh?"
This was information he had already known, and the ancient village of Yae was within the scope of Nagazora City today. Even during the Eruption of Nagazora City, Otto had paid attention to the situation there and knew that Theresa was saved by a pseudo-Herrscher who was suspected to be Yae Sakura.
"So she didn't disappear after that? Or did she come back from the dead?"
Otto scratched his hair irritably.
To this day, things that can cause him such emotional changes are very rare. Even during Delta's Herrscher experiment, he remained calm from beginning to end.
"She also killed people who approached her with malicious intent along the way, but the people around her completely lost their relevant memories afterward? Is it the ability to control thoughts? The Corruption Key was completed? Or did the Herrscher of Corruption resurrect?"
"Sure enough, she also relied on this method to get on the flight, and she didn't know about buying a ticket at all - but there were no innocent casualties, and she was able to control herself, so was it the completion of the Corruption Key that resurrected her?"
"She is looking for Kallen's hometown and..."
"Graveyard!"
This word which was equated with death aroused the grief and rage hidden in the deepest part of his heart.
Otto crushed the documents in his hand.
Amber waiting beside him was startled.
"Lord Otto?"
"I'm fine, let me be alone."
With a gloomy expression, Otto suppressed his messy thoughts and tried to find the key direction from them.
"Yae Sakura..."
"Yae Sakura..."
"Yae Sakura!"
Muttering to himself, he repeated the words, each one more suppressed than the last.
This name, which he only knew from Kallen's mouth, this name that was closest to Kallen, Otto once let himself forget and deliberately forget it, but now, he had to bring it back to mind.
All kinds of thoughts surged like a wave, and finally, Otto stood up, with a cold expression, and asked Amber, "Where is she now?"
"She is still wandering in the towns in northern Germany, it seems that she has not found the direction yet. After all, Lord Kallen is just an ancient religious legend in the world of ordinary people, and it is not easy to find out the real information."
"Get ready, I'm going to meet her."
Otto spoke calmly and without question.
The Key of Corruption deserves attention, but Yae Sakura deserves more attention.
Nothing else matters, just because that is the person that Kallen is thinking about, it is enough for Otto to put in twelve points of effort to deal with it.
…
Walking in the cold wind of the winter night, the dreams that are scattered and crushed are all dreams~~
In fact, it is not winter, nor is it night, but it does not prevent Yae Sakura from humming in her heart, because it is too boring!
She knows that these processes are necessary and often reminds herself that Otto should be watching, and she must always pay the highest attention!
However, this kind of slow wandering around, without food and accommodation, and having to maintain a persona for 24 hours, is really too boring!
If you don't secretly find some fun in your heart, you can't get through it.
'Donkey spirit, donkey spirit, I'm telling you a good news, Little Ancestor is lively!'
'I know, I'm watching, can you not call me for no reason? If I lose my mind at the opportune time, it will be a big problem!'
'This is not the time to care about yourself, are you not happy?'
'Get lost!'
Yae Sakura sighed sadly. She thought that she had been walking for several days and nights, so she simply found a bench on the street to sit down, hugged her sword, closed her eyes as usual, and took a nap.
"Ding~Ding~Ding~~"
It didn't take long for her to rest before she heard the clear bells from the church in the distance.
Yae Sakura opened her eyes and looked at the gorgeous and magnificent church building under the morning sun.
She thought about it, got up, and walked towards the church.
Kallen is the saint of the religion, so Yae Sakura naturally has to focus on religious places and people. This is also part of consolidating her persona, so she has to go.
…
Not many people came to pray early in the morning.
Perhaps it was because the town's population was not large, but even in such a small town, the church was still built exquisitely and sacredly, which shows the absolute influence of the Schicksal Organization in the whole of Europe.
Yae Sakura visited a devout nun who was not as good as Aponya but was also strong enough to bear the weight of her breasts. As usual, she asked about Kallen's information but still only got some vague myths and legends.
"Sure enough, there is still nothing. Kallen, where should I go to find you..." Yae Sakura raised her head and looked up at the cross in front of her, with a heartbreaking numbness on her delicate and beautiful face.
After a long time, she stuffed the coins she accidentally "picked up" when she passed by some gangster crime scene last night into the donation box and turned to leave.
"This beautiful lady, please stay."
The soft and pleasant voice, with a bit of natural laziness and charm, blew into Yae Sakura's ears like a warm breeze.
Yae Sakura paused and looked blankly at the prayer bench next to her. A heart-throbbing woman was sitting there, her golden hair falling down, covering her beautiful collarbone, and she was wearing a dignified and noble light green off-shoulder dress, which wrapped her attractive figure.
She turned her head and looked at Yae Sakura, with a beautiful face like a noble young woman, with a charming smile.
"Hello, who are you?"
"Mrs. Green Lily, outsiders usually call me that."
"Mrs. Green Lily...?"
Yae Sakura murmured blankly, looking at her in confusion.
But Mrs. Green Lily stood up and handed Yae Sakura a business card.
"It's just a little joke, don't mind it. I've been observing you for a long time, and I've been listening to you asking the nun about Saint Kallen. Let me formally introduce myself. I'm Lily Epsilon, a professor of history at Cambridge University, specializing in religious history. Nice to meet you."
"Ah, this, that, hello."
Yae Sakura took the business card, but glanced over it, as if she didn't recognize the English on it. She responded in a panic and showed an awkward and forced fake smile.
Lily's smile became more gentle. "It's mainly because I'm very interested in your Far Eastern miko costume. Maybe it can bring new inspiration to my research, so I followed you into the church unconsciously. From the conversation just now, are you interested in Saint Kallen?"
"Kallen... Well, I want to go to her hometown, and her cemetery." Yae Sakura said in a low voice, looking like she was not good at talking to people.
Her already dim eyes became more empty and dead, and even her beautiful cherry pink long hair seemed to have lost its vitality all of a sudden.
At the same time, Lily's smile remained unchanged, but in an invisible corner, her pair of small hands as white as jade suddenly clenched very tightly.
