Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

"Ah, right. I almost forgot to mention."

He talked for a full hour about all the things that we will have to do after infiltrating that place and about other things that we would have to be careful about or things that would be important to look out for.

And after that long, fucking boring talk, right when we were about to exit his office, he spoke up something with that obviously fake voice.

"Your new mentors will be here by the time you come back so look forward to the new training sessions~."

He waved his hand at us with a sweet looking smile that looked so disgusting on him that I almost wanted to puke…

"Yes, headmaster…"

But seeing just how serious Eon was right now, I couldn\'t help but just shake my head with an annoyed expression and push the rest of them out of that shitty office of his.

-Clack.

The door shut on its own after we left his office, and though they knew why I was still pushing the three of them, they were suddenly confused about something.

"Why is he so serious?"

"Is this that important for him?"

Both of them had their questions and Del especially had a rare questioning look in her eyes.

She understood the gravity of the situation but there was no reason for him to be worked up about this small mission.

The task was only to investigate a young individual that was only recently blessed by a goddess.

They had to fight genuine demonic nobles along with those hundreds of cultists and a lich. This wasn\'t really going to be a difficult task for them so, they knew if he was that much worked up about this, this task also had something personal attached to it for him.

And they were obviously right.

"You know how his mom was in trouble when he was young and was separated from his family due to a demon, right?

Pope had helped his mom many times in that time, and even before that he always wanted to meet him and thank him for all he did.

However, since it had not been possible in the last few years due to the issues with the eastern demonic plains, he wanted to see him as not Lucifer but as Eon.

And since this case is related to the only successor of the Pope of Meyat, it is related to the pope and thus to him as well… Welp, just ignore this bastard."

-Slap!

I slapped his back and continued walking since there was nothing more to this whole thing.

He was just worried what would happen to the pope if they do find out the only one that he found to be good enough to take his position was in fact someone related to the people that wanted to bring down not just the mankind but this entire world.

"Uriel…?"

They were confused why I was acting like that since they did not know how this darling of mine behaves when he is this perticuler kind of state.

"I said there\'s nothing to worry about, didn\'t l?

I\'ll take care of this one so you two can go and finish all the work that you have. There must be a lot for you to deal with before disappearing on such a small notice, right?

Don\'t worry about us and go do your work."

I continued walking further away from them while holding his hand so that he doesn\'t get lost on the way to the class and, even though I couldn\'t look back like him, I knew the confused expression the two might have at the moment.

\'There\'s still a lot of things that they don\'t know about both of us.\'

We had been working together for a while now and we all know that after fighting together on a battlefield and sharing a few life and death experiences, we were closer to each other than even our other friends in a few ways.

\'They knew about us more than anyone else did and they hid that fact well enough to satisfy this bastard of mine.\'

If they weren\'t who they were though, I know for certain just what kind of mind control spells they would be under by now…

"Oy, get a hold of yourself. We are already outside."

"Hmm? Oh… yes. Thanks."

He must be thinking about this mission of ours right now, planning what things we would do and what we would have to do.

\'He does that when things really matter.\'

This mission wasn\'t something easy or simple in any manner.

We would first of all have to infiltrate an institution owned by the Temple of twelve gods, the pantheon perhaps the only prominent religion that people of this continent followed.

\'Infiltrating places is a relatively easy task for us, but this time, things would be different.\'

[Kaksha] was a unique institution of the Temple, and only a few chosen individuals from the Temple could go in and out of it if they weren\'t special students or candidates for certain positions in various nations\' Tample.

\'It was situated in a city completely owned by the Temple, a place in the Roxana empire that a complete autonomy of its own and even after being part of the empire, it was an allied power and not something that was under the command of the empire.

"Uriel~! Good morning!"

"A very good morning to you too, Med. Where is everyone else?"

"Ah they just went to-… hmm? Why does he look like that? Did something happen?"

"Oh, no. It\'s nothing, he is just thinking right now. Don\'t worry about him."

We were outside and he was still lost in his own thoughts which just showed how focused he was in his thinking process. And also just how difficult this whole mission would be.

"Okay..? Yeah so, as I was…"

The place we had to get into was protected by not some surveillance device but instead by the eyes that were blessed by the power to see anything that was happening in any corner of the specific area.

\'The city was filled with the priests, sisters, and the family of these holy people that followed their religion and their god as closely as some eastern cult followed their cult leaders.\'

There were a number of blessed individuals there and people that were candidates for unique poisons of the various nations\' Temple branches.

\'Not only were these people strong and different from the common people that we see in the normal cities, they were all believers.\'

The entire city was weird, but the institution that produced most of these weird people was even more bizarre.

\'The children with Light attribute affinity as well as children who possessed a special kind of affinity and some other elements were part of the institution we had to infiltrate.\'

The only ones that go in or out of this place were the official priests, special permitted students like the Saint that we were targeting and the sisters.

\'The chances of unpermitted individuals infiltrating that holy institute was very low and since a number of blessed individuals, along with one Stigma holder overlooking everything in that place, it wasn\'t going to be easy doing what the headmaster had asked of us.\'

Not certainly in three days, nope.

"Hello everyone~!"

When we met Med in the garden area, she was alone and was going to join the rest of our gang so we went with her and though she was concerned about the look Eon had, since it wasn\'t a look of concern but a look of deep thinking, she didn\'t worry about it.

"Uriel~! You\'re here! Why are you two late! And where were you two?!"

"We went for a morning walk, haha."

Med told us they were planning something new and exciting so they had gathered in our usual lunch place to discuss it.

She didn\'t tell us what they were talking about since she wanted to keep it a surprise for us, so I was looking forward to this new and interesting thing that even interested someone as boring as Hide.

"Alright, forget that. We were thinking of going to that new place around the city outskirts everyone has been talking about!

We have the weekend and then we practically have a holiday on Monday so it will be exciting~ right?"

I thought they would be talking about something like that.

A weekend and a holiday followed by it… many of the students would want to spend this time doing something meaningful and since this group of ours practically didn\'t have anyone that focused on the study parts, going out and having fun was the best thing they should do.

\'And since the place she was talking about was a flower field that was created by the changing season of the island and a rare phenomenon of floral overgrowth, many people were finding it to be a special date spot recently.\'

It was in a difficult area to reach since one would have to cross the ant colony, the beetle nest, and the area where the dangerous Rainbow flamingos were said to pass around from, not many people dared to go there.

\'It would have been fun going there with all of them.\'

And it would have been our first outing after a long time so, all of us could have had a good change of pace.

Alas…

"Quin, Tia, Alf, Hide…"

All of them were gathered here, and I called out all their names one by one which obviously surprised them of course, but what surprised them more was the bitter expression I had right now.

"I\'m sorry."

That place was a rare occurrence and a it would have been a fun adventure, even the new couples among us would have loved being there and talking with their partners, playing with flowers and all those lovely little things…

It would have been fun, for all of us, certainly.

\'Only if it wasn\'t for that damned Merlin bastard, we would have had a fun time together after a while.\'

But we cannot do that anymore.

Instead of that fun adventure, we will have to go spy on some dumb spoiled brat that was just lucky enough to have been chosen by that bitch goddess and made into a fake fucking star.

\'It\'s ridiculous.\'
