Reincarnated into a Game As the Hero’s Friend

Chapter 201.1

I was a bit curious about the church. Not only me, but Lily too. I guess it couldnt be helped after what happened before, but I think that Count Yerring did something unnecessary.

Unlike the entertainers of my previous life, I guess it was a relief that people didnt approach nobles so casually; I wonder if I could do it like Mazell waving at the busybodies, but I went through and followed the priest who was guiding me.

Neurath, Schunzel, I want you two to keep an eye out over Lilys surroundings.

Yes.

Understood.

As one would expect from a church in the royal capital, there were many people here. Most of them were not here for sightseeing, but for consultation and prayer. The architecture was quite magnificent, and I think I might have enjoyed it a little more if I had come here for sightseeing.

By the way, Lily had become a little too excited watching the surroundings that Annette-san had to warn her to calm down. It made me think that maybe it would be nice to bring her on a tour again when things calm down.

Soon, we were brought to a room that resembled a conference room.

I, Welner Von Zeavert, have arrived.

Thank you for coming over here, Viscount Zeavert.

There were roughly 15 to 20 people in the room, including two noble-looking persons. Rest were likely accompanying knights and people from the legal department. There were also some women.

I was offered a seat, so I sat down, but it was always awkward for me to be the only one sitting down in my group, as someone from an aristocratic class. Also, I wondered for a moment if I should glare at some of the young knights who were glancing at Lily from behind the other party.

In the end, I decided not to glare at them.

I introduced myself to them and talked a little with Viscount Schrnz and Baron Drezeke. At least neither of them seemed to be a bad person. However, their aristocratic character was evident, as they showed very little tolerance in accepting even a little bit of disrespect from the people of the legal department.

A little later, High Priest Leppe entered, and everyone stood up and bowed. The relationship between the noble society and the religious world was quite complicated, but the High Priest Leppe was also a minister in the noble society, so he had to observe the courtesies.

High Priest Leppe laughed and urged us to sit down, so we did so without hesitation.

I tried not to cause a commotion, but it appears that a commotion was still created.

Indeed.

Its quite a nuisance.

High Priest Leppes comment, or rather complaint, elicited a wry smile and a murmur of agreement from everyone. If I apologized here, it would show that I was involved with what Count Yerring was doing, so I did not apologize. These kinds of exchanges to show formality in hints were a bit annoying and extremely troublesome.

What happened cant be helped, so lets move on.

Yes.

In response to Viscount Schrnzs statement, a simple drawing of the church was spread out on the table. The royal capital church seemed to consist of several buildings.

The largest was, of course, the church portion. In addition to a place for mass events, there was a room for consultation with the clergy, similar to a confessional in my previous world, a treatment room for healing magic, and a conference room. Behind the confessional was the office building, which housed the office of the head of the church, the offices of the high priests, the financial office, and the church treasury.

There were several separate buildings connected to the church by corridors, the largest of which was a residential building for the clergy and staff who lived in the church. There were also live-in church guards and cleaners.

The High Priestess Malavova also has a chamber?

Yes, it seems so. All the High Priests and Priestesses have private rooms in the church.

There seemed to be a class disparity in the church as well, but I guess that was about it. In this world, there was no post of church head for the royal capital church, and the high priests were assigned to fill in the role of head of the royal capital church on a rotational basis. It seemed that High Priest Leppe was responsible for the church at the moment.

For reference, High Priests and the High Priestesses usually resided in Finnoi.

In addition, there was a church sanatorium where the poor were temporarily sheltered, a warehouse building, a residence for city cleaners, and a morgue for the dead. As one would expect from a church in the royal capital, it was quite spacious.
