fore we departed, so we’ll keep an eye on them and wait until additional troops arrive.
It won’t take long.”
“Then we’ll have to prepare to sleep.
In a place where we can easily look around the town yet they can’t see our side.”
From then on, the two of them moved out of village to a rough place.
Unfortunately, they had no choice but to left the horses behind.
It’s easy to get caught by riding a horse.
After moving through the uninhabited forest, they were able to find a place with a very good view of the village.
In fact, it was not that there was no better place, but it was easy for the enemy to notice if the place was too good.
“It is a time of tedious waiting.”
Ivan and Delfino skillfully set up their hideout.
In order to make it difficult to grasp the surroundings, stones and branches were used to hide and cover, and a small fire pit was also built.
By twisting the smoke passages here and there, it was not easy to notice that the fire had been lit from the outside.
Still, they couldn’t cook.
The smell of food spreads farther than you think.
They had to use it just enough to drive away the cold with the heat.
They had been monitoring it for several days, but there was no change in the village.
There were no new people entering, and there were no new people coming out.
‘It reminds me of a time when I was on guard duty just staring blankly at the village.’
It was more tedious and tiring than he had imagined to stare at something for several hours a day.
When that happens, chatting is what we do to pass the time.
All kinds of stories popped out to make up for the boring time.
So, there was a point where he became a little closer with my senior and junior after standing on the border service together.
‘I never thought I’d be in a place like this.’
Like anyone else, I was contemplating what to do when I was discharged from the military, and I confessed my dream.
None of the things he talked about then happened.

No, there was only one.
to go on a trip.
To leave for a place you don’t know and look around the world.
Of course, he was thinking of backpacking trips that college students in their 20s usually do, but I never expected that his dreams would come true in such a bloody way.
“what was your childhood dream?”
Ivan uttered those words unintentionally, and then regretted it.
He thought it was needlessly emotional.
Fortunately, however, Delfino took his question seriously.
“Well, I’ve wanted to become a priest since I was little… Ah, come to think of it, when I was very young, I had dreamed of becoming a baker.
I thought I could eat a lot of bread since it was full of freshly baked bread.
Haha, I was really young back then.”
He said he grew up in a temple.
It seems that he lost his parents when he was young, and that he was raised in an orphanage run by the Temple of Arun.
“As the result of the situation, faith naturally grew, and I naturally wanted to become a priest.
After becoming a priest, I met many good seniors.”
“Do you have any memorable seniors?”
“Well, I was close with senior Maxius.
It is no exaggeration to say that I became an exorcist thanks to him.”
“He must have been a good person.
Was he also an exorcist?”
“Yes.
He was a great man.”
past tense.
From those words, Ivan could guess what had happened.
He didn’t know what to say, but instead of comforting him, he just closed his mouth.
“It’s okay.
It’s been almost 10 years since my senior disappeared.
It’s common.
If you’re doing this job.”
The disappearance in here meant that he had died but his body was not found.
It was a really depressing story, but he only spoke calmly.
Yes, because it was common.

“He last worked in this area.
If I find and exorcise the demon worshipers this time, he’ll be a little more at ease.”
“It will be so.”
“thank you.”
And the silence that followed.
Unlike before, not because it was boring, but because the atmosphere was so heavy that it seemed unbearable.
‘I spit out nonsensical noises, and the atmosphere has only gotten worse.’
That’s why outsider shouldn’t open his mouth recklessly.
Ivan blamed himself and got up from his seat.
He was sitting in the same position all the time, and his body seemed to stiffen, so he wanted to do some stretching.
He frankly took his breath away just to stay.
Ivan, who was relaxing like that, suddenly looked at something.
And he asked Delfino with a frown on his forehead.

“When will the troops arrive?”
“Hmm, if they had moved quickly, they would have almost arrived, but they should be here in a day or two.”
“A day or two.
That seems too long.”
Delfino’s expression hardened when Ivan raised his spear, because he realized he wasn’t just asking to lift the mood.
He quickly turned his gaze and looked down at the compass to see the arrows were spinning and pointing in all directions.
It meant that there were a lot of people around with demonic energy.
“What? When did they get so close”
“That means they weren’t only playing while we were watching.”
Tak!
Tak!
Ta ta tak!
I heard the sound of the booby traps that Ivan had installed in all directions activated one by one.
The trap was laid from quite a distance, and the fact that it worked from all directions meant that the number of enemies was not small.
Enemies kept approaching, regardless of whether some of them fell into traps.
It was as if there was no damage at all.
They don’t even have feelings anyway.
sniff sniff.
The smell of death tickling your nose.
The smell of the undead that Ivan has been dealing with lately.
sush.
Stepping on dry leaves, they appeared.
It felt like darkness was creeping in from all directions.
“There are too many.
It might be quite difficult to protect you.”
At that, Delfino rolled up his sleeves and laughed.
“If I must be protected in a safe place, I wouldn’t have been an exorcist.”
In the meantime, Delfino’s limbs, which had been hidden in his clothes, were revealed.
The scars that remained clearly despite the fact that they would have been healed with divine power.
He didn’t lived comfortably either.
Ivan, who turned his gaze away from Delfino, looked straight ahead.
He added strength to his hand holding his spear.
Whi-ing.
The cold wind blew.
It soon turned into a storm.
bang!
