She is not an investigator.

Lingyin paused for a moment when she mentioned the six miles of the enterprise, seemingly hesitating whether to continue. However, Taochuan, who was looking at the newspaper, suddenly put down his newspaper and began to speak to himself.

"A factory owner was recruiting workers, but because there were many unemployed people, he deliberately lowered the price. In the end, he had his leg broken by the angry workers."

Momokawa suddenly smiled and looked at Igris beside him.

"Guess how much he's paying per hour? Two copper coins. If production targets aren't met, hours will be deducted. If there are defective parts, compensation will be based on market price. No room and board included. No days off all year round... It sounds like being in jail. No wonder they're so angry."

Ling frowned slightly and looked at Momokawa, who had been ignored because he hadn't spoken.

"who are you?"

"Don't worry about it, officer. I was there at the time, so I have some idea of ​​the specifics."

Momokawa stood up, put away the newspaper in his hand, put on his hat, and waved gently to Igris.

"I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. I look forward to seeing you again."

Then she left on her own, just as aloof and eccentric as she appeared.

Throughout, she only spoke to Igris, and completely ignored everyone else after giving them a brief greeting.

"Strange person...do you know her?"

Ling raised an eyebrow at Igris, crossing her arms somewhat displeased.

Igris shrugged, watching her slowly walk away, and said nonchalantly.

"Friend, he has a slightly strange personality, but he meant no harm. How was it handled in the end? Did you arrest everyone who assaulted him? Or was it the factory owner who was arrested?"

"...No, the boss was dragged away by his own people, and the others ran away after seeing me... I don't need to catch them anymore."

"Isn't this your job, officer?"

"I'm not going to work today."

If you don't want to arrest someone, just say you don't want to; why make up this kind of excuse?

But Igris didn't say anything. After all, she was a police officer, and whatever she said was right. Igris couldn't refute her.

"But it won't be long before they have to do this kind of work."

Igris smoothed her hair, looked at the people on the street who were wearing increasingly thicker clothes, and tightened her own clothes as she did so.

It's going to get cold soon.

Ling nodded, then sighed.

Heating costs will only get more expensive.

"Labor costs will only continue to decrease."

Igris stood up, stretched, and looked at Olivia beside her.

"I'm going back now."

Olivia, who was still in a daze, also came to her senses and stood up.

Do you need me to give you a ride?

"No need, have fun."

After all, Igris had only come out with Olivia to find Ling. The two of them had an appointment, not with Igris, so there was no need for her to stay here.

It's not a bad idea to go and explore on your own.

"Then, be careful on the road?"

Igris waved her hand and left the square without looking back.

……

The streets of Molkens were fairly clean and tidy, without any protruding stones or broken paving stones, which is typical of a big city.

Normally, Igris would probably be in a good mood to appreciate the street scene, but unfortunately, it's not the right time now.

It's raining again.

"Damn this weather..."

To avoid getting wet, Igris sought shelter under the nearest building.

It was a church.

Since becoming an investigator, Igris has harbored a deep prejudice against the church, and most of the events she has experienced have indeed shown that this prejudice is not unfounded.

So she had no intention of going in at all.

I absolutely refuse to go in.

The Fools of the Gods - The Last Knight: Chapter Six, Is There No Church in the World That Is Even remotely normal?

“Rain will splash on you, miss.”

"I know, you're trying to persuade me to go in, aren't you?"

Igris glanced at the woman beside her, and subtly moved aside to avoid blocking her way. The woman did not move, but continued to look at Igris.

"Indeed, the church is spacious enough, and you have enough space to shelter from the rain."

Igris shook her head.

"I don't want to cause trouble."

"What trouble could visiting a church possibly cause, miss? You're being far too sensitive."

"That's what everyone who gets into trouble thinks."

Igris smoothed her hair, which had somehow gotten wet, and frowned in annoyance.

"...But this is definitely not a good place to take shelter from the rain."

"welcome."

"..."

—————— (Divider)

Igris eventually followed the nun into the church, perhaps wanting to have a little more trust in churches, since almost every city has one.

Compared to the church in Maulkenson, this church is much more spacious, but also much darker.

Darkness, in the literal sense, refers to a significant reduction in brightness. The stained glass is almost completely devoid of light, and there are no lights at all.

A church without lights made Igris begin to wonder if they believed in eternal night; at least Constantine's church had lights.

"There's really no trouble here, right?"

The nun tilted her head slightly and smiled at Igris as she looked around.

"Are you Christians?"

"Of course, why do you ask that?"

Igris shook her head; she was just confirming it, though they wouldn't tell Igris if it really was some kind of cult.

"It's very deserted here."

“When they don’t go to church, that’s definitely how it is here. Faith in the Lord doesn’t bring wealth or status, so they still need to work hard to maintain that hard-won life.”

The nun didn't seem like that kind of person. It was because someone would pay her a salary, so she didn't have to worry about that kind of thing.

Igris didn't understand the church. Most of the churches she had come into contact with were cults, and when dealing with cult members, Igris preferred to feed them bullets rather than have a chat.

"Have you ever considered that perhaps your faith isn't strong enough, which is why He can't give you everything you want?"

Igris asked the nun a question, then suddenly sneezed and shivered.

She seems to have caught a cold.

Her body doesn't have a strong resistance, and since she's often exposed to the cold, it's quite normal for her to catch a cold.

Igorlis should be thankful that her body is much better than most people's, and she doesn't need to worry too much about menstruation, otherwise she probably would have experienced what it means to be alive.

If it's just a cold, rolling around in the blankets a couple of times should be enough.

That's how she used to solve it.

“I didn’t become a believer because of these things. If I really wanted to pray for wealth, I would probably be more useful to seek out the rich than to pray here.”

"That's why I said your faith is not enough. The Lord should be omnipotent. As long as you ask Him for help, He will respond to you."

Igris imitated the Christians she had seen before, making the sign of the cross on her chest, though her expression looked a little strange.

After all, she really didn't know enough.

“I’ve seen the kind of church you’re talking about.”

The nun was quite knowledgeable and was happy to share her experiences with Igris.

"for example?"

“Those cults locked up in prison.”

The nun winked at Igris and told a joke that wasn't very funny.

Her sense of humor is less than half that of the Joker.

However, at least she didn't actually give a specific location in an attempt to convert Igris, otherwise she would have shown the nun her faith.

What are Igris's beliefs?

bullet.

However, she's out of bullets; she'll just have to tell Olivia about it when she gets back.

“I have a friend… or rather, someone I know who is a priest in a cult. I might be able to introduce you to him if you’re interested.”

The nun smiled, but the smile was rather unpleasant.

"This joke is very funny."

"Really? Just take it as a joke."

Igris didn't say much, but went to the stained glass window of the church, looked at the patterns on it, and sighed with admiration.

"It would probably look really nice if I put this on my window."

"This will prevent you from seeing what's behind you."
