Welcome back, Satou."
"Sera has requested her return from Duchy Capital."
When I got back to the solitary island palace, the girls welcomed me with complicated faces.
Arisa reported in a business-like manner while averting her eyes from the object on the floor.
Lulu's and Liza's faces are red.
When I look at Princess Shistina, she averts her eyes with reddened face.
It was probably because they saw the antics of the object on the floor, Core Two who's lightly breathing with an expression like she's just done it.
She must have been connected to the Dungeon Core and directly received the sensation from over there.
It seems a woman with such an appearance is still within the limit for Demon Lord Shizuka, her loose lips are just slightly loosened.
I'd like to believe that she doesn't have any strange thought for the girls here.
"Mwu?"
I pat the head of Mia who's nursing Core Two while looking like she doesn't really understand and bring everyone besides Core Two to the living room.
I'll leave Core Two to the experienced married brownies.
"How was over there?"
"Wait, before that, I'll call Sera-san and the others back here first."
After confirming with Sera, I called the three dispatched to the Duchy Capital back here with Unit Arrangement.
"We're back."
"Good work."
I wait for the three to sit on the sofa and continue the talk.
"Please report your situation first."
"Yes, allow me to tell you the conclusion first of all. The Gods are 『Giving the divine punishment to Weasel Empire, and for the surrounding nations' sins of being negligent to monitor Weasel Empire--"
Arisa and Hikaru began to boo when Sera got to the [sins of being negligent to monitor].
I agree with them, but we can't continue like this so I silence them.
"Will be given similar punishment』, so it's said. When I asked what kind of punishment it would be, another oracle descended, 『The effect of the Blessing that holds back the monsters in one place will be annulled』."
"What is 『Blessing that holds back the monsters』, so I ask."
Nana who had the same question as me asked.
"It's a Blessing that keeps monsters from coming out of the Monster Dominions and Labyrinths through God's authority."
"Is that a Blessing?"
"Yes, it is not commonly known, but we're taught that in the Temples."
Sera replied Arisa's question with the face of a clergywoman.
"Isn't the Miasma density the reason why monsters don't come out of their dominions and labyrinths?"
"Un, the scholars from my time also postulated such thesis."
Princess Shistina and Hikaru raised an objection at the temple's common sense.
"T-that shouldn't be--"
Denied of her doctrine, Sera immediately reacted and stood up.
