Side Chapter — The High Priestess Alca Puts the Pieces Together

My foremost disciple, a traveling priest, has returned home from a pilgrimage of dungeon destruction, and succeeded in offering one of the empire’s dungeons to the God of Light. For his accomplishments I would like for him to be awarded with the status of special priest, on par with a medpriest.

Santaku, an archpriest of the reform faction, had sent in a request for a promotion. And then he was immediately assassinated. Alca knew the culprit was a member of the pope faction.

“Which makes this an archpriest’s dying message,” she mused. It was her duty as the High Priestess of Light to move to grant his final wish. However, she did not recall Santaku having had a traveling priest as his foremost disciple. She needed to investigate this to ensure everything was in order.

At the very least, it was certainly a splendid accomplishment in the Church of Light to offer up a dungeon (and a dungeon from the Laverio Empire, no less). It was such a splendid accomplishment that Santaku would be highly rewarded himself as the disciple’s master, if it was true.

The ascension to medpriest itself was no problem in the slightest. A noble from the empire truly had come and offered to turn his local dungeon into an artificial dungeon “without asking for anything in return,” despite the fact that offering a dungeon would “put one in a position to make many demands of the Church of Light.” It was set in stone that they would be rewarded with a completely free dungeon seed.

However, there would need to be some checks before training him as a specialty priest. Some functions of the artificial dungeons were still secret, and so the instructors’ personalities were carefully considered before they were trained. Even if this was Santaku’s final request, Alca could not just grant it willy-nilly.

And so she made her decision: She would grant this person the position of mednoble, see whether they were truly Santaku’s disciple or not, and then decide from there whether to make him a specialty priest.

With that said, all this talk of imperial dungeons reminded her of Goren. And subsequently, its town chief, Keima. He was a wondrous man she had met while serving a tour of dungeon-destroying duty in the empire with Sento. He had been well learned in the ways of the Church of Life, and although she tempted him with excellent offers so that he would return to the Holy Kingdom with her, he rejected all of them. And when she attempted to purchase Ichika—a slave, but one of significant competence—he had not faltered for a moment, even when presented with an absurd sum of ten thousand golds. Most of all, he had risked his life to save hers, despite the fact that Alca revived upon death.

Alca knew no other man as pure and noble of heart. Just remembering it made her heart throb.

She wanted to meet him again. To make that happen, she had changed her name, and was preparing for another trip to the empire which had barred her entry.
