Gather Divine Coins and Gacha!
Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! – Chapter 552

“Sera. You haven’t been to the church district since you arrived in this city, have you?”

Ignoring my repeated calls, Seriana, who had been staring at that district, finally spoke.

“Yeah. The only time I pass by is when I occasionally accompany the soldiers on their patrols. I don’t go near it otherwise.”

My status is completely clear now, and my appearance has changed quite a bit, but I still have that impression of being a red-haired shorty.

Maybe there are still some who might recognize me.

It’s not like I have anything to feel guilty about, but still, there could be some trouble. So, I make sure to avoid the area, as well as those who frequent that place.

Even when using the 【Floating Orb】, I make sure to stay away from there.

Thinking back on that, I nodded at Seriana’s words.

Then, Seriana raised the altitude of the 【Floating Orb】 and moved it toward the center of the church district.

“From your perspective, do you see any changes?”

“Hmm…”

From this height, I could easily see the entire district at once.

Though not officially named, the church district has a large church right in the center.

Behind it, there’s an orphanage connected, and around it are healing clinics, cheap inns, and taverns, mostly frequented by adventurers who are on good terms with the church.

“Hmm…”

Change, change, change…

Originally, the area occupied the northeastern part of the city, but as the city expanded, it’s now just a small section of the northern part.

Along with that, their influence within the city has steadily diminished.

Especially since Seriana and the others have been openly avoiding the church.

Gradually, even the city’s residents have started to distance themselves.

Perhaps due to that influence, the area looks somewhat empty from above.

It’s not just because of the rainy season.

In the past, adventurers and various people used to come and go through that section… but now, there’s almost no sign of life even in the healing clinic.

The orphanage has already moved the children to another city and is effectively closed.

The church and inns still have a few people left, but…

But the only change I can detect is that there’s no one around.

“Looks like there’s no one around…”

“Is that so…? Have there been any major alterations to the place?”

“Alterations…? Hmm… I don’t think so. Well, I’ve never seen it from up here before, so I’m not sure, but…”

At least, from the range I can notice, nothing seems to have changed drastically.

“…I see.”

Seriana murmured those words quietly and then fell silent, her gaze fixed downward.

“…Umm?”

I wanted to ask what she was trying to do, but since she looked so serious, I didn’t want to interrupt her.

It couldn’t be helped.

I didn’t know what she was looking at, so I decided to stay alert and have the snakes keep watch.

There wasn’t much to see, so I figured it wouldn’t take long.

…About 20 minutes must have passed by now.

Seriana, who had been staying in the air above the church district, seemed satisfied after investigating the area and finally started to move.

“Hey, Seria, did you find anything?”

She started moving but didn’t say anything, and I still didn’t know what she was trying to do.

“Just like you said, there are hardly any people going in and out of here. Of course, it might be due to the timing, but since the dungeon was opened to the public, I’ve been investigating this area, but there’s no sign of adventurers with dungeon exploration permits coming and going…”

“You were doing that, huh…”

From the mansion at the edge of the city to this area, it would cover nearly half of the entire capital.

Seriana can expand her blessing over a large distance, but it seems that the burden is also quite heavy… As expected, this girl is amazing.

“I knew that various people were entering the capital, but I could only hear about how it was affecting the city through word of mouth. It was a good opportunity to see it with my own eyes.”

“Really…”

Liesel occasionally shows up at guild meetings, but Seriana rarely goes outside.

At this point, Seriana is the VIP of the capital, not Liesel.

Although it’s not exactly dangerous, she usually avoids going out into the city.

When she does, her guards form a perimeter around her, and she sticks to a predetermined route and area.

In fact, it was Seriana who decided that, and while she could go out freely, it’s just that she’s serious.

She’s probably been holding back until the situation settles down.

But with that, it’s not like she truly understands the situation in the city.

Now that the dungeon is up, Seriana’s importance has somewhat diminished, which is why she likely decided to go out today.

“Sera, you usually avoid the church district when moving around, right? For now, continue to do so.”

“Huh? Uh… yeah.”

Seriana said that as we moved away from the church district.

Well, I don’t have any business there, so I wouldn’t think of going near it either, but… her insistence means there’s probably something else.

I’d like to ask about that too… but by now, we’ve already crossed into the craft district, and Seriana’s attention has shifted there.

She probably won’t answer me.

    Well, I think we know where trouble is brewing.
    Then again, seeing as the church has been openly hostile from the very beginning, is anyone surprised?
