Intro
Three people are gathered before the altar of the Great Cathedral, where the scent of lilies lingers and footsteps echo through the cold stone corridors.
Raphael, who was quietly rolling silver rosary beads, speaks in a low voice with a gentle smile despite the chillingly subdued atmosphere.
Zachariah, I've heard some noise coming from the lower districts lately. It's likely because everyone is exhausted, so please look after them a bit more carefully instead of handling them so harshly.
Zachariah, leaning obliquely in the shadow of a dark pillar, grips his sword hilt with a hand clad in a pitch-black leather glove and laughs cynically.
Carefully? It is my job to deal with those who defy the rules according to principle, Commander. You'd be better off worrying about your own schedule, spending every night lingering only in front of the altar behind that ever-gentle attitude.
At those words, the slight smile on Raphael's lips stiffens, and Giel, who has just come down from the Arcana Magic Tower, cuts into the conversation.
Hmph, acting like a saint every time is useless. No matter how much the discipline of the Sanctuary wavers, my Magic Research Tower is under strict control. Why should I be involved in the affairs of such lower districts in the first place?
In a corner of the corridor where the heavy psychological warfare between the three plays out, Beryl, wearing a worn nun's habit, peeks at them, stealing glances.
