I like traveling the most

"Xiao Lin? Hey, Xiao Lin! Are you listening? What are you doing?"

"I just suddenly felt that people should never talk about being invincible."

"What's that?"

"……nothing."

Natsuki Subaru looked confused.

He was concerned about Amelia's safety, so he didn't catch the joke thrown at him. Xiao Lin was the only one who knew what happened, and no one shared it, so he was a little dissatisfied.

"By the way, we were just talking about the Archbishop of Sin."

"oh?"

Expressed interest in this sensitive word and signaled him to continue.

Natsuki Subaru explained that even though a monkey can do hunting operations of the Witch Cult, the most important Sin Archbishop needs someone to sneak attack on that guy. After all, this is the key to the success of the operation.

"What's the point?"

"The people who deal with that guy need to be carefully selected."

Natsuki Subaru, who has faced laziness, knows how scary that madman is, so in order to definitely deal with him, he needs someone who can hide himself and look directly at him.

His condition made everyone who had already stood up from sitting around frown.

Their expressions ranged from confusion, worry, and uneasiness, and some of them imitated the expressions of others according to the atmosphere. But in general, it can be summed up by the word doubt.

This reaction was normal. Rather, Natsuki Subaru's request was too abnormal.

Immediately the explanation began.

The plan to defeat the Witch Cult is similar to that of the White Whale. They both use the scent of the witch on Subaru Natsuki to lure out the enemy.

The big difference from World of Warcraft is that just because Lazy is crazy, it doesn't mean that he is not smart. He still has the necessary IQ and corresponding skills.

Coupled with the existence of the power of the [Invisible Hand], the human wave tactic that only increases casualties is not suitable.

"So you need my [eyes] to be useful, to hide your own existence, and to have someone who is not weak in combat power appear?"

"Because I have never seen such a suitable person."

Natsuki Subaru shrugged.

Xiao Lin nodded and said: "I know, I will take action when the time comes."

There is no reason to refuse.

This was agreed upon from the beginning. If he refused because of the trouble, he would not have agreed to attack the White Whale in the first place.

Reinhardt and the others should have banished the two sinners of Lust and Gluttony, plus the White Whale and the Sloth Archbishop. This achievement is very important for the royal orphan who has no help - King's Candidate Felt. .

If he can become the main force in this battle and defeat the three Sin Archbishops one after another, his plan to establish the Axis Cult can be carried out smoothly.

After all, his slogan is to help the victims who have been tortured by the Witch Cult, so he must have tangible achievements.

Natsuki Subaru gave a thumbs up very thoughtfully and said: "Don't worry, I will be with you when the time comes."

"Are you sure you're not here to cause trouble?"

Xiao Lin rolled his eyes angrily.

Although he did not ask about the details of the previous reincarnations, with a little thought, he could understand that the reason for reincarnation was due to Natsuki Subaru's accidental death.

Natsuki Subaru smiled awkwardly at Kobayashi's dislike.

Next is how to deal with the Witch Cult.

Everyone chose to take the initiative.

Facing the elusive Witch Cult, an indefinite defense battle is the last resort.

In a defensive battle, the key to victory or defeat lies in whether the defense line can be maintained for a long time. This is not a strategy they should adopt if they lack reinforcements.

Therefore, they must win in one breath before the Witch Cult sneaking into the forest grasps what's going on here. Ignore the opponent's surprise attack and defeat them with a more sudden attack.

As for how to find the Witch Cult, you need the scent of Subaru Natsuki and the eyes of Kobayashi. This is one of the reasons why Kobayashi is the most suitable to face the lazy Archbishop.

On the way to the earldom.

"Even among the Sin Archbishops of the Witch Cult, the two Archbishops, Sloth and Lust, are particularly famous."

After learning that the enemy they were about to face was named Archbishop Sloth, Julius began to educate Subaru Natsuki.

Although Natsuki Subaru didn't want to listen to him, he just pinched his nose and forced himself to listen for the sake of the next battle.

"It should be noted that among the lone Sin Archbishops, those two stand out from the crowd. In terms of the frequency of record-keeping activities, the Sloth Archbishop is overwhelmingly high. However, in terms of the degree of harm, it is the result of lust. What he did was even more cruel.”

“The frequency and the degree of harm, it doesn’t seem to be a good thing either way.”

"That's right."

The Best Knight was depressed when he mentioned the Witch Cult, and seemed to have suffered from the other party.

It's just that Natsuki Subaru's mood is not good enough to care about people who are unhappy.

After compiling his mood, Julius continued: "According to records, more than half of the Witch Cult's activities are related to him. Judging from the fact that the scope of the Witch Cult's activities is all over the world, the opponent's mobility can be said to be quite large. Amazing.”

"A world-class fly?"

Natsuki Subaru smacked his tongue softly.

He claims to be lazy, but his actions are quite diligent. This is a strong contrast. It's just that the other party's ferocious and terrifying face can't be called cute.

The crazy face with piercing eyes and thin cheeks appeared in his mind.

Calling himself lazy reflects that guy's own jealousy and disgust towards laziness, and it is precisely this disgust that causes the Witch Cult to exhibit an unusually high frequency of activity.

"And it's hard to say that the Knights can't grasp the activities of the Witch Cult at all."

This is the difficulty of the kingdom.

Only after the victim appears and evidence is collected can the incident be suspected to be related to the Witch Cult. At that time, the Witch Cult has already succeeded.

This is the embarrassment of the so-called guards who can only search after the incident.

"But it won't happen this time." Xiaolin interrupted: "Knowing their location in advance, like the white whale, let them pay the price for their evil deeds so far."

"You are right. Although they are despicable, they always get away with it. However, this time they will never let them escape again. They must be caught in one fell swoop!" Julius echoed, showing a rare expression of anger.

For them who have lived in this world for many years, the existence of that group of guys is like the lingering malice.

Seize the opportunity, and naturally do your best!

After mobilizing emotions, everyone turned their eyes to the street ahead. In the distance in the east, the sky was pale, and the morning sun on the other side of the dimness was faintly visible.

The expeditionary force has entered Mezas Territory, and all the troops driving the earth dragons are crossing the plains with great momentum.

If possible, I hope no one will be sacrificed this time.

Natsuki Subaru sincerely hopes.

Before he can adjust his mood, the scenery in front of him has changed.

On the horizon of the street welcoming the morning, the green forest is already faintly visible. At the end of the vast plain, a large forest surrounding Roswaal Mansion and Aram Village appears.

This means that the final battle with the Witch Cult and the reunion with the hateful Archbishop of Sin are just around the corner.

————

"Hu, hu, hu..."

Stepping over the mud and tree roots, Natsuki Subaru walked alone in the dim forest.

Looking up, he can see the blue sky through, the sun quietly peeks out from the slits between the leaves, and the breeze blowing in is accompanied by a moist breath. The cool breeze cools the sweat on his forehead, and he wipes it with his hand and exhales deeply.

There was no maid who had always accompanied him, no thigh that he could hug without thinking, and no earth dragon that he had taken a fancy to at first sight.

He walked unarmed like this, looking fragile.

This was the third time he had walked in the deep forest like this. He should have been used to it, but why did his steps become heavier with each step he took?

It should be the tension.

It was different from the confrontation with the white whale. At this moment, there was an unpleasant sticky feeling in the air, and Natsuki Subaru felt the touch of sweat that he had not noticed until now.

Here it comes.

It was like suddenly discovering a cockroach in the corner of a quiet room.

When encountering that kind of black pest, there is often a strange psychological battle that the one who moves first will definitely die, and then time will inexplicably extend infinitely, giving people a supernormal feeling that makes people mistake it for eternity.

For example, now.

He could clearly feel that the fear with an ominous taste was wandering through his body.

Looking suddenly, the forest scenes on both sides were similar, but they were extremely familiar scenes.

Should I say that my ability to detect evil has become more acute?

Or was I attracted here?

Natsuki Subaru sighed, stared at the dark place in front of him, and said, "Thank you for coming out to greet me."

It was obviously a consolation, but I couldn't feel the sincerity in my heart.

It was just a pure polite remark.

However, the person being addressed didn't have the humanity to care about this, so he didn't feel bad.

Suddenly, many figures dressed in black and blending into the darkness appeared around him.

At some point, the wind stopped and everything was quiet.

This was the subtle sign of their appearance.

Once you know these signs, you won't be surprised or scared by the sudden encounter.

As planned, the meeting went smoothly.

"Although you just appeared, I'm sorry, I need to talk to your boss about the details, so don't get in the way."

"————"

What I got was silence.

Natsuki Subaru frowned and said again: "I am not comfortable with the inexplicable things, but from the perspective of status, I am higher, right? So, please."

At his disdainful wave of his hand.

After the black-clothed people bowed their heads to pay respect to Subaru, they maintained that posture and glided back into the darkness.

Such a reaction was expected.

Although his mood was very complicated, these witch cultists had no hostility towards him, so as long as they did not show their intention to harm him or without orders, they would not attack Natsuki Subaru.

"If you can even listen to my order to pack up and go home to farm, that would be a great help."

He sighed with his shoulders drooping in frustration. Even he knew that such a good thing would not happen.

Continue to move forward.

Walking deep in the dense forest, he could only hear his own breathing and the sound of his feet stepping on the soil, which actually gave him the illusion of walking in endless darkness.

But the illusion was soon broken.

The scenery in front of him suddenly became clear, and the open space on the rock face of the cliff jumped into Natsuki Subaru's vision.

The towering and steep cliffs seemed to be a huge scratch carved in the forest. There were several huge rocks at the bottom of the cliffs, and the cave where the Witch Cult was hiding was hidden in the largest rock.

Subaru Natsuki took a deep look at the dark forest behind him.

Kobayashi should be able to see it.

After all, that man's eyes are ridiculously strong.

"——I have been waiting for a long time, beloved believer!"

A crazy and joyful voice came from the front.

The hollow eye sockets were sunken on the haggard face, the dark green hair and dry skin showed an unhealthy color, and the hands stretched out from the black robes were as dry as dead wood.

He was probably only in his thirties, but no one would doubt that he was fifty years old because of his lifeless appearance.

If someone who didn't know saw it, they would definitely tell the man in front of them to stop playing glue.

But Subaru Natsuki, who knew his identity, showed fear and resistance in front of the eyes that were staring at him with overwhelming madness and shining with dazzling light.

"I am the Archbishop of the Witch Cult, Petelgeuse Romanee-Conti, the Sloth Regis... Yes!"

Saliva dripped from the tip of his tongue, and the crazy man chuckled, as if welcoming Natsuki Subaru's arrival, and loudly announced his name.

Natsuki Subaru put his hand on his chest.

It was incredible that he found himself unusually calm in front of his enemy.

When did he have such a deep hatred for him, and even cursed to kill him, the culprit of all this.

I am afraid that in his short life, there will be no one more hateful than this man.

"Welcome, the beloved and lovely person! How wonderful... Ah, how wonderful! How strong is the love that wraps around you! How hot is the love that embraces you! Thank you! Thank you very much!"

When Natsuki Subaru was filled with emotion, Sloth had already fallen into madness.

He shook his head, blood dripping from the back of his scratched hand, the crazy emotions reached the extreme, passion gushed out.

This crazy look was seen once when he was terrified, and once when he was hostile, and now for the third time, Natsuki Subaru finally felt the disgust that a normal person could feel.

Take a deep breath and calm down.

"I am a little scared by the unexpectedly warm welcome. I don't have a real feeling about the thing called pampering."

"It's not your fault. It comes so suddenly for most people. No matter who you are, you will find that you are loved one day. And once you find it, you can never let go of that love. That's right, because only love is everything! - Brain, shaking!"

The Bishop of Sloth Bepetelgeus confided with joy, he spread his arms stained with blood, and sang the twisted and extremely straightforward love with deep affection. Whether it is action or tone, it is extremely creepy.

At this moment, Natsuki Subaru wanted to end this conversation immediately from the bottom of his heart.

"Then, what should I do?"

"Among the six seats of the Archbishop of Sin, only Pride is still vacant! I guess you are Pride, right? You, should have received the Gospel, right?"

Petelgeus's question confused Natsuki Subaru.

It's good to know that Pride is vacant among the Archbishops of Sin, but he has no idea what the Gospel is, how can he fool around?

However, the other party has already taken out a book from his arms and started flipping through it.

"——Listen, the Gospel!"

There is no doubt that it is the so-called Gospel.

"Come on, come on, listen to the revelation of the Gospel, and look for evidence of favor..."

However, after flipping through it, his enthusiasm gradually faded, and doubts and confusion arose.

"There is no record of your existence in my Gospel. So, why did you appear here, and what kind of Gospel will you bring to me when you visit here?"

"Oh, that book is called the Gospel, why didn't you say it earlier!"

Natsuki Subaru pretended to put his hand in his arms.

Of course, let alone the book, there was not even a piece of paper.

At his fake move, the pupils of the Archbishop of Sloth, filled with madness, shrank slightly, and Natsuki Subaru immediately realized that it was time to break up.

So——

"It's bad, sorry, sorry."

"What's wrong?"

"My Gospel was soiled as a pot mat, and then I threw it away."

"————!!!"

When Petelgeuse heard Natsuki Subaru's excessive answer, he was stunned, and then quickly turned it into an insult in his mind, revealing a ferocious expression.

The madman screamed with a reptilian expression, and the shadow exploded.

"Proof of favor! The power of sloth! Invisible hand——!!!"

A large number of black arms rushed into the sky.

That was the invisible magic hand that could easily destroy the human body and could not be seen by ordinary people.

The palm was flying in the sky, aiming at Natsuki Subaru below like a twisting snake head. The black shadow magic hand danced like a whip, and then the front end suddenly accelerated and rushed to the ground.

The black finger was about to touch Natsuki Subaru.

He could see it and dodged it, but he still held his head high and showed no fear.

His confidence came from another companion.

Even outside the forest, he could be seen. Even in danger, he could arrive in an instant. Even the opponent's Archbishop of Sin was not inferior. He was his best friend and thigh.

The breeze was blowing on his face. It was not the natural wind blowing from the forest, but the breeze caused by someone appearing with a swish.

"What?!"

Petelgeus had a bad feeling. He looked up and saw the black shadow falling from the sky. He was about to recall the invisible hand for defense, but the opponent was faster and was smashed into the ground with a bang.

At the same time, an extremely annoying and sarcastic remark came to my ears.

"——You are called laziness?"
