Volume 4 Chapter 27 ACT.118 Pursuit (I)
Even if I kill Dominic here now, there's no guarantee that Saria, whom captured by his men, will return safely.
And if I'm going to make sure he's dead, I want my trusty sword and shield.
True, it's not what I want, but it's better for both of us to pull back temporarily.
"Hmph."
I let out an obvious sigh and hand over control of my body to Rai again.
Seeing my reaction, Dominic thought his proposal was accepted.
"Meet me at the ruins in the western suburbs at dawn tomorrow."
With that, Dominic turned and walked away, making sure to keep a distance where he couldn't be surprised by an attack before he started running.
After burning his direction into my memory, Rai also left the scene before things got messy.
Rai then slipped into an alley and made straight for the Holy Church headquarters.
Specifically, he was aiming for his favorite sword, shield, and armor that were stored there.
"This isn't a time for a vacation."
After getting those, Rai planned to launch an attack *sooner than the designated time*.
As he ran through the narrow alleyways like a flash, he organized his thoughts.
──Rai felt something was off about Dominic's actions.
He kept repeating the phrase, "People can easily change depending on the situation."
Contrary to that, his actions didn't suggest he was using Saria as a hostage.
Therefore, Rai thought it was likely that Dominic didn't see Saria as a hostage against him.
"Dominic intends to make Saria a Reincarnator no matter what I say!"
He doesn't know why.
It's not just about forcing Rai into the Chaos Cult by making her a Reincarnator without her consent.
"──Maybe *there's something* about Saria herself"
Just as he was about to say that out loud, rounding a corner in the alley,
Rai's body came to an abrupt stop right there.
In the narrow, dark, and honestly ugly passageway stood a person.
"I've been waiting for you."
A woman with silver-white hair like clear ice and a cold face, wearing pure white nun's clothes.
She looked totally out of place──but just standing there, her dangerous beauty changed the air around her.
Her name was──
"Sister Dina?"
Sister Dina, a special agent who acted like Saint Stella's right hand, stood there.
