NOVEL NEXT Chapter 86.1
The Blue team let out a sigh.
“…Shuri.”
“…Yeah.”
“He definitely said that. Isaac mentioned that he’s a candidate for Eshua’s successor…”
“…Yeah. I’m one of the candidates too… that’s right.”
Their eyes were directed towards the sky, as wide and blue as the Blue.
“And he said he’s the child of the Saintess…”
“…Yes, that’s right.”
True. But…
“Hey, you there! There’s dust in this water! Bring a new one!”
“Oh, I don’t like this plate because it’s square. Bring it in a different dish!”
“Ah, the sauce splattered on the plate! Wipe it off!”
“Hey, the food is all cold! Are you kidding? Bring it back with something else!”
…
What’s going on? Why is he like that again?
The Blue team looked at Isaac as if they couldn’t understand.
No, if the food is served, just eat it. Why torment the waitress?
Well, considering the amount paid for the rent of the restaurant, the owner might happily make a hundred more, but still, that’s too much.
Especially since he only targeted one waitress, out of all the staff.
Yes. So, to the beautiful waitress…
Squelch.
“Hey. Can you accept this?”
“No.”
As the Blue… no, as priests… no, as men, they couldn’t stand it!
Eventually, the Blue team stood up with determination.
“Hey, Isaac! You’ve been receiving all kinds of services from that pretty sister!!!!!”
“If you’re getting all the attention by yourself! Don’t you know you’re a lucky bastard! Huh?!”
“Did the Blue teach you that? Did they teach you to be such a jerk! You’re too arrogant!”
The Blue team, who didn’t receive any attention, spat out fire from their mouths.
Already, those Eshua guys had smooth faces, becoming the center of attention every time they arrived in town.
Shuri was the same, but especially Isaac… that guy monopolized the attention of the pretty sisters!
Of course, it was nice to have more free food when they were together, but it felt like being a bridesmaid, even once or twice!
After all, he was from the Blue! He should treat women well, right?! No…! It’s a problem that he treated them like lava!
“You, behave yourself…!”
Then, the waitress, or rather, Ash in disguise as a human, smiled brightly.
“Oh… I’m fine. I made a mistake with you priests. Thank you for caring.”
To that kind smile, the Blue team was moved.
‘Ah… how beautiful her heart must be…!’
Damn it. While watching Isaac swinging a whip in front of a real heavenly woman made their hearts melt.
However, Ash, in reality, was grinding her teeth inwardly.
‘Yes, I have to endure. The prey is right in front of me.’
Seeing Isaac in person made it even harder to endure. Not only because he had noble blood, but also the majestic power of the great Skeleton King that she felt subtly.
So, she had to endure.
But these guys can’t endure it.
“Why doesn’t our Isaac change it? Why does he keep making me do it twice?”
“That’s right. Isn’t this deliberately making a fuss? Oh?”
These damn knights, blatantly taking Isaac’s side in front of her.
Seeing that, the Blue team couldn’t help but look at each other with disbelief.
‘Our Isaac?’
…Aren’t these guys the ones who hate priests?
‘Just to save your colleagues, to fall for something so simple…’
‘The reputation of reverse knights…’
But Ash, even though she was burning with anger, couldn’t easily reveal her true colors. It was all because of these knights.
Although being a demon hybrid posed a risk of power being neutralized, especially…
‘That big-shot leader guy has a troublesome origin.’
In the end, she decided to deal with the knights first.
“You haven’t said anything since a while ago. If you train your bodies, you should eat well. So please eat.”
“Oh, we are employed bodies, so we don’t eat the food of our employer…”
“If there are paladins, the town becomes safe from the threat of demons. We are offering separately, so don’t refuse and please eat.”
“Oh, then…”
However, as the knights were about to touch the food, Isaac intervened.
“Isaac?”
Isaac frowned at Ash.
“Hey, you eat it.”
“What?!”
The Blue team was startled and looked at Isaac.
But…
“You eat it. Who knows if it’s poisoned?”
Unable to endure this outrageous act, the Blue team rose as if they couldn’t take it anymore.
“Isaac!”
However, Ash, looking bewildered, furrowed her brow.
‘Could it be… he found out about the poison…?!’
No, there was no way.
Priests couldn’t detect such a subtle poison.
At that moment, as the Blue team approached as if to stop this.
“Hey, Isaac! Behave yourself! The Blue aren’t demons, and we can’t use suspicion on people!”
They all picked up forks.
“That’s right! We will prove her innocence!”
“Look carefully! It’s fine even if we eat it… guck.”
The Blue team, who had eaten the food, collapsed together.
Thud, thud, thud!
“…!!”
“Hey, you guys!!”
Of the fifteen, all except Shuri and one or two more guys fell unconscious.
Witnessing this, Isaac smirked.
“Heh, idiots.”
Shuri looked at Isaac in confusion, but Isaac seemed to be pleased with the outcome.
“Well, at least I didn’t have to knock them out. I was planning to do it anyway, whether with poison or a club.”
Wha, what the hell?
However, Isaac’s eyes widened.
Isaac originally had no intention of having the Blue team fight against demons.
After all, they were the ones who believed in him and followed him. Could he really let these young sprouts die?
Whisper spoke up.
[Shall I call the Holy Spirit to detoxify them?]
The king-level Holy Spirit, who was saved from the Papacy’s priests by him, was quite cooperative now. Currently, he was investigating the distribution of the
To Whisper’s question about calling the Holy Spirit, Isaac refused.
‘No, they should experience some suffering with their bodies. Humans should learn to listen by suffering, after all.’
Anyway, they should experience it at least once.
But if they were instantly taken care of by the Holy Spirit, they wouldn’t come to their senses.
‘Well, they’re still my brothers, so let’s detoxify it as quickly as possible…’
“Isaac. This is a parasitic poison that converts holy power into magic power!”
…Holy power, magic power, what?
“This detoxification might be difficult. That woman is cunning!”
…Detoxification… is it really necessary?
[Master?]
However, upon hearing the words of the reverse knight’s leader, Isaac’s eyes widened.
