After briefly listing the tournament’s details, the Chancellor suddenly shared a surprising piece of news.

“And through this opportunity, I want to tell the participants a glorious message. In fact, a few days ago, an oracle was sent in connection with this Buma Selection Tournament.”

“……!”

That remark was enough to surprise everyone.

In this competition, a god sent a voice directly?

But the most surprised was Prodia.

‘If it’s an oracle… that god’s command?!’

And why on this competition?

But why wasn’t there any word to me?

‘Doesn’t the others know, but shouldn’t there be an additional quest window for me……?’

Wow, this is really disappointing?

Am I being blatantly ignored right now?

I’m angry. I’m being swayed by a quest with unknown intentions.

I am guilty. But if you are going to ignore me like this after promising another chance, why didn’t you just send me straight to hell from the beginning?

But there was nothing she could do but rage alone. It seemed the god had no intention of listening to my prayers.

‘It’s okay, what do I expect from the god. Just listen to the Chancellor.’

Prodia tuned into the Chancellor’s explanation.

But that did not go as Prodia wanted either.

“I regret to say, but I cannot tell you the content of the oracle right now.”

Why on earth not!

Prodia almost cried out without knowing it.

The Chancellor’s explanation continued.

“But don’t worry. The oracle will be gradually revealed during the competition process.”

So when will it be revealed!

But, surprisingly, there didn’t seem to be many who had the same question as me.

Most of the participants were simply listening to the Chancellor’s speech in awe.

Just the fact that the voice of a god had reached this land was enough to immerse most of them in emotion.

“By sending his holy voice to the place hosting the esteemed princess’s spouse, our god has shown his intention to bless and look after our Aivem Empire.”

Most of them nodded their heads or had tears welling in their eyes.

Are you kidding? I need to know the content of the oracle!

But Prodia could not get any more information about the oracle.

In the end, participant registration ended without any additional gain.

With a dejected expression, Prodia was approached by Ertis.

“Is it because of the oracle?”

“……Yes.”

“Let’s go home and talk about it together.”

The three of them prepared to return to the Count’s residence.

Then, suddenly, someone’s familiar back caught Luca’s eye.

‘Huh……?’

Dark grayish silver hair. That person, could it be…….

Luca hurriedly ran forward.

But the person he was looking for had already disappeared.
Prodia asked.

“Why, did you see someone you know?”

“No… I must have seen wrong.”

“Hmm, I guess so? I haven’t heard of any other clergy participating.”

Prodia was right.

Whether Papiere or Luca, the people they knew were mostly either clergy or believers.

But there was one exception.

If the person I saw earlier is who I think it is…

‘This is not something to ignore. I have to go home and talk to Prodia about it.’

Thinking so, Luca followed the two toward the Count’s mansion.

(This is a time delimiter.)

“We must find out the contents of the trust.”

Returning to the Count’s mansion, she called Irtis and Luca to sit down and immediately entered a strategy meeting.

Irtis nodded.

“I agree. Everyone will definitely be desperate to find out the trust. We need to get the information first.”

“So, Luca? Is there any way Papiere can find out the contents of the trust?”

At that question, Luca’s face became serious.

“Uhm, unfortunately, only the deputy can access the trust.”

It seems difficult.

A shadow fell on Prodia and Irtis’s faces.

But soon, Luca slowly said,

“But actually… Papiere might be able to.”

“What? Is that true?”

“Yes. I’ve heard rumors that Papiere’s divine power surpasses the current deputy. So peeping at the trust might not be difficult? The problem is whether that stubborn guy will do it.”

However, Prodia and Irtis’s faces were already regaining color.

They found a way!

Prodia asked urgently.

“I’ll persuade him well. So can you call Papiere right now?”

“Uh? Even if it’s sister’s request, that’s a bit hard. If I could call him whenever I wanted, I would have done that long ago.”

That’s true.

Prodia’s face darkened instantly, and Luca continued,

“We don’t know when Papiere will appear. Let’s not do that and look for another way.”

“Uhm.”

Instead of answering, Prodia quickly sent telepathy to Irtis.

[Irtis?] [Yeah?] [Please slap Luca right now.] [What…?]

Irtis looked at her in surprise.

[Did I hear wrong?] [It seems you heard correctly.]

Irtis opened his mouth wide.

Meanwhile, Luca knew nothing about the telepathy between them.

But he could sense something strange in the atmosphere.

No one was speaking, and silence filled the room.

‘But what’s this subtle atmosphere…?’

Moreover, the magician began to make a foolish face at Prodia.

‘What the heck!’

Luca waved his hand in front of Irtis’s eyes.

“Hey, magician?”

But Irtis ignored Luca and continued sending telepathy to Prodia.

[You said violence was absolutely forbidden yesterday.] [This isn’t violence.] [So is this nonviolence?] [Well, a small sacrifice for a cause?] [Sigh, you really…]

Irtis clenched his fist with determination.

[Don’t change your mind later.] [Yes. But you must stop immediately if Papiere appears?]

Meanwhile, Luca was eagerly peering at the two.

“Hello?”

Then he thrust his face in front of Prodia.

“Sister? Actually, I have some really important news?”

At the same time, there was a fire at the back of his head.

Thwack!

“Cough!”

With a short scream, Luca curled up on the table.

Watching that, Prodia silently atoned.

‘Luca, I will not forget your sacrifice.’

Shortly after, Papiere woke up holding his head.
