Soul Monarch: The Eclipse Feast Online

Restitution, Botin Family

The priest came in, he was a man who looked to be in his thirties with blue eyes and chestnut hair.

Well, this isn't the first time I've seen it so I haven't had much surprises and the initial impression has long been awakened. In fact, now I know his name, Fiman —alau somehow for the family name.

However, my attention was instead more focused on the person following behind him.

She is a human girl, looks the same age as me but maybe a little over the top with long straight bluish brown hair. And the color of his eyes was—

"Jade," I murmured softly. I've never seen that color before.

We, me and the girl stared at each other for a long time before Fiman faked a cough, resuscitating us.

"Greetings. I'm Fiman Elion, pastor of 'Ymnar Town Houra's Church."

"Dirae, just Dirae," I introduced myself. Well, it looks like it's time to get into 'business mode'.

"Firstly we from the Church's side 'Ymnar thank you for revealing the existence of one of the Smelluq Temples in this city."

"Either. And what will happen to Melg next?"

"We will interrogate her as much as possible,” the girl replied for the first time after a long silence, greeted by a small nod of the priest.

However ...

"Do you not need any other evidence?"

... Isn't it a little strange that this kind of thing can happen based only on what I said before?

Moreover, even though the statement was not entirely a lie, it was only spontaneous in a state of urgency after hearing the Spenta Demonfall activation prayer.

"I think in this case we don't need it" Fiman said. "With the use of Spenta Demonfall, it has become clear that Melg is a devout Believer of the Evil God. It was impossible for such a skill to be imparted to those who were new to the Shrines.

"It's embarrassing to admit it, but it seems like the influence of the Smelluq Temple has spread quite far in the country. So, we will improve ourselves to reverse the shame and continue to search for them.

"This country does look quite materialistic if viewed from the outside, but actually not as much. Success goes with a process, step by step. It was a teaching that Goddess 'Ymnar taught and it was just like how this country went.

"So, the existence of the Smelluq Temple which only prioritizes prosperity and self-wealth without wanting to accept the process is unacceptable to us and therefore we will not allow it to develop just like that. It would be toxic to this country."

Is that so? Well, maybe I'll be able to take a sigh of relief then. But can this be a sign that church disputes with temples are being raised?

I thought so when I nodded small.

Although .. yes, there are some things that I do not agree with what Fiman said. I think the two concepts, process and success and wealth and prosperity are intertwined and need not be separated but they are negligible.

Talking about other points of view on a fanatic will only add to the problem. So avoid that.

"In addition, we on the part of the Church 'Ymnar will give some recompense for what you did in uncovering the existence of the devout followers of the Smelluq Temple ."

Oh? Okay, I'm kind of hoping for what he promised. A little, not too much, or I'll be disappointed.

"You can take that by visiting the church. Since my interest here has finished I resigned myself first," he concluded finishing his needs and leaving, leaving me and the girl alone.

"It seems that now it's just a matter between us."

Ya? I don't remember ever offending a party that this girl could represent.

As if he could read my mind, he sat down, putting his palm on his chest ...

"Before that you may still be a little confused so I will introduce myself first. I'm Yuma, Yuma Botin."

... With an introduction that made my mind shaken.

He was really a member of the original family, the main family that owned the Potchi shop knew?!

"You may have known before, but I will introduce myself once again. Dirae, I'm Durae," my reply covered the shock.

His eyes narrowed pervertedly before he looked interested. "You're really unique, aren't you?"

Yea? Wh why?

A question mark appeared above my head as the girl said so.

"You can look pretty calm even after knowing who I am. Ordinary people would already tremble first if they heard my family name."

Ah, yes, I've experienced something similar so I understand how it feels.

"In that case, we better talk non-formally. To me what you're doing is big enough to attract attention."

Eh? Why is this conversation a little strange. And before I could speak, he handed me a card.

"Look, that's the stain's last status."

... The status of Melg is shown on this card.

Is this really a status? There are no HP, MP, SP, Satiation or Title markers there. But ... this arrangement .. it is clear that this is a status.

In this card the abilities mastered are arranged based on the level, unlike the status of the panel whose levels are distinguished by color only. However, there is a shortage in the form of the absence of a definite pointer of ability levels so it is difficult to be able to ensure the Skill is in which half.

"It seems you're a little confused."

"Yes, a little." No, yeah, maybe a little bigger? "What do you mean by this?"

"That was the actual level of the Stain right after it was captured."

Eh? Does this mean that they have a way to know one's status by force?!

"It's just weird, isn't it? You who I think are new to D can show yourself in public and dismantle it all. Is this because you have some duties charged to you?"

The assignment? Quest ' huh? But ...

"I leave that judgment to you."

... I don't think that's what he's aiming for.

"I also don't want to know inside, just wondering why someone suddenly entered and broke through one of our branches," Yuma said shrugging her shoulders.

Uhh, yeah, it's my fault.

"So Girae, I'll just say it now. As compensation for the trouble that one of our former members has caused you to come down, I, as Potchi's representative, will give all of Melg's possessions to you."

"—!?"

H-hey, this feels kind of scary to know. It feels like there's a random person saying 'you won 100 million Credits from the lottery today' by just waving a hand. Yeah, it's unbelievable.

Moreover, the amount of Melg's wealth is certainly not possible just a little because even though he looks young, but from Zile's narration he is actually in his seventy years.

Yes, Power Levels for Residents have the impact of inhibiting aging and increasing life expectancy.

However, I refrained from overreacting and took a deep breath. Thinking about this for a moment before silently nodding.

"Is this related to my status as an Indestructible?"

"You can understand it quickly." He sighed lightly and leaned back on his chair. "You know, to be honest you guys (Indestructible) really feel sick. You can't be cleaned up and any number of times cleaned you'll only reappear shortly afterwards."

Yuma said so, the contents were indeed scolding but I knew he was smiling and not angry at all. It is like a happy person.

Yes, Indestructible, players will not be able to completely disappear and of course this factor messes with many of the life joints of residents.

I know a business, let alone a large scale is not always entirely white in how to deal with conflict. Yes, 'cleaning' is also done even in the current era. But, players would rise once again and that 'cleansing' became useless to them.

That's why Yuma gave me Melg's treasure that could technically be considered as a cover-up. Well, not that I want to spread this out too. It'll only hurt me.

But the Residents ....

Yes, I can only mentally shrug my shoulders. "I'm not going to take the money."
