"Bishop Sleeza, Head Auditioner is waiting for you behind these doors," padin said as he showed me to the doors with his halberd. The weapon shone with brilliant radiance of the gods and the holy mark of the God of War shone with crimson shine.

  The doors opened and I got to see an altar devoted to the goddess of Light and Healing Halleene. The Head Auditioner and sister of the current king was praying in front of it like a foolish devotee she was.

  "Bishop Sleeza. Do you know why I called for you here today?" she said as she smoothly stood up and dusted off her knees.

  How should I know why a small spoiled bitch called me here?

  "I am terribly sorry, my dy. I am unaware of any reason for me being called here."

  "Haah, so you don't know? Pitiful man…" she sighed almost silently.

  Hey! I heard that bitch! If I could I would kill you already!

  "Bishop Sleeza. You've tarnished the reputation of the church before the royal family. Their donation at st liturgy was more akin to pocket change. Of course, the other nobles saw it too and now there are rumors of our Creationism church being in disfavorable position with royals."

  And what does that have to do with me?

  "You still not catching up? The queen was angry at your dispy at the day of auction, calling your actions akin to thievery. Of course you understand we cannot have you stay here."

  That stupid bitch!!! Did she forget who got medicine for her dying brother?! She will pay for this!!!

  "Anyway, let me tell you the decree of his holiness the Halpiir. You are henceforth demoted to Pastor and your assets are to be confiscated. You will be sent to the monastery at Kuromi vilge near Macedia city. Your carriage will depart in two hours. You can spend the rest of the time here praying for forgiveness. Now if you excuse me, I have to return to my original duties. The Padins will be guarding you the entire time."

  You gotta be shitting me…

  Exactly two hours after that, I was taken to an undecorated bck carriage.

  "Lord Purple sends a message," one of the padins murmured towards me, "Your current predicament is unfortunate, however do not lose your head. Our sun still shines for you."

  "I see, thank you," I murmured back as I entered the carriage and the padin followed behind me. As we got seated and the carriage started moving.

  Yes!! I was not yet forsaken by the Reversed Sun!! I shall devote myself to the goal!

  "Please keep in mind that the Lady of Holy blue and her private squad of padins are hot on our heels."

  "Has she sniffed out something?"

  "Her agents have been harassing some of our 'Holy water' production bases. However, due to the untraceability of their Space magic users, we cannot confirm her location. She is as secretive as ever."

  The god forsaken vilges?

  "How's the damage? I don't think they found too much with you on the case."

  "Indeed. We can thank Lady Orange for her great tactical insight and moving most of the troops and merchandise. Anyway, have you heard of the Puritarians that attacked Duke Nomille?"

  "Only that they got their asses kicked so hard they can't even form a coherent sentence. The duke really doesn't show mercy when it comes to his family."

  "Indeed. But you don't have complete information, it seems. The one who has taken down the group responsible for summoning demons is the Ancient boy that is staying with the duke."

  "That guy again?!"

  Is he getting off from making fun of our organization?!

  "Please, calm down, Lord Sleeza. The boy may have stood in our way three —nay, four— times already, but he won't be able to stop the next action. Lord Bck, who is in charge of that operation, is expecting you to come with some of us, 'lead us to battle' and 'send his people running'."

  "So basically, I will become the hero in shining armor, eh? Anyway, four times he stood in our way?"

  "Indeed. He saved Duke's daughter Henretta from the goblin camp we artificially grew. Then he saved the entire ducal family from the Puritarians and destroyed the kidnapping mission in Au. Lastly, he got the Fallen Succubus, Shade Pixie and Celestial orbs we wanted, as you know."

  "Yeah, can't forget that," I growled angrily, "Oh, what about our merchant? Is he spreading the goods?"

  "Yes. On the day of our next action, his booze loving drunkards will become fine foot soldiers."

  "For the goods to work perfectly, he will have to have them drink it without stopping, wouldn't he?"

  "Do not worry, he is without a doubt the best booze dealer in the entire northern part of the kingdom, given the strength of his alcohol and price."

  "I see, that is good… that is good."

  At that time, not even the lowest ranking member of the organization had any idea that Arito would soon turn this on its head as well.

  AnnouncementWell, this is the st half chapter for some time in the main story. Since I'm posting chapters every other week, I decided to post the first chapter of [World Savior: Side Stories] next week, so you will get content every week from now on -TR
