A smiley middle-aged man was preaching how to be happy. Surrounded by adults and elderly.

“The pain, the sorrow, the suffering. It is in your heart. Simply smile and forget it. It will be gone”

“Father, I try. I try really hard. But I'm still in pain on the inside. Is there another way, Father?”

“There is always a way. Kneel before me, praying in your heart.

Then repeat after me. Maharaja, Busha”

“Maharaja, Busha”

The middle-aged man silently cast a healing rune to the devoted girl.

“I-I feel relieved. Thank you.., thank you , father”

The same devoted girl cried and shouted inaudibly for a while.

It seems genius not an act.

That girl isn't a paid actor.

“It is our duty and for our god’

The Father did the hand signs. and pray to his god solemnly.

The gray robe woman appeared from the corner.

She was followed by her disciples.

Zost and a young man and a young girl.

“Brother Collin, that guy is our target, right?”

“Ask him? Like he is gonna know what is going on.”

“Fellow Meiji, that Father treats a person as if he were a priest,

teaching the crowd as if he were a monk.

It’s perfectly matched within the investigated letter”

“Perfectly my ass! He might be a bait, just let me interrogate him!!”

After shouting, sister Meiji conjured a wind prison. The rune appeared on her palm.

The left hand is the medium, wind rune. The right hand is the property, flowing wind rune.

Gush of wind lifting the father in the air. The devoted folks are panicking.

some yelling. some running. some rushing to rescue the Father.

“Please we can talk. don’t harm innocent people”

After people heard their father's words, they turned to stare at sister Meiji.

She is taken aback slightly. but still controlling her spell skillfully.

“I will release it. you come with us. we need to talk”

Father looked around to calm the crowd with his gaze. and spoke to them.

“Fellows, we are old acquaintances. don’t be hostile. we can discuss the matter all the time”

Master Anna seemed absent-minded. She let her disciple handle the situation.

Sister Meiji's actions are so aggressive. Is it this world standard? Want to talk?

First,just restrain him. like me who wakes up in prison then becomes her disciple.

I was curious when Sister Meiji cast a spell.

The runes appeared on her hands not floating like my rune and Master's runes.

It had the same effect though.

I will ask Master about this different method to control magic.

The questionable Father came with us. and still the devoted folks tried to follow us.

In his hands, Brother Collin quietly constructed a rune.

Sister Meiji, on the other hand, was quicker and cast a wind dome to cover us.

The crowd couldn’t enter and couldn't hear our conversation.

Brother Collin was about to interrogate the Father when our Master unexpectedly said.

“We leave here”

“But..”

Master flew to the town hall before sister Meiji finished speaking.

She was so irresponsible , she left us to face the enraged crowd.

Zost spoke what he thought to them.

“I think We got baited by the letter…"

"We should apologize to him and let him calm the crowd.”

“Boy listen up. We talk with fists not with words. You, Father, will deal with them."

"we’re leaving right now”

We flew toward town hall as well. And yet I didn't know how to fly. So, brother Collin helped me with his spell.

In the town hall except for the townlord who seems dressed like he is the king here.

There are three groups, one of which is ours.

Bald monks and nuns, a group of sword practitioners, and us mages.

“It's great to see you all here. This humble lord, Trunba, greets you all.”

“But first, can you, mages, walk in from the front door next time instead of flying?"

"a little respect for me”

Master Anna stared dead in her eyes to the offender.

“... No”

The Lord kept his straight face then began to explain the situation.

“There are a bunch of monks. not you guys. but the self-proclaimed monks…”

“These monks, called Father, preached on people in a slum area.

but recently the whole town began to shift their faith to them”

“That is not a good sign for you guys. So here I called you to let you know.”
