Alice and Seara were distributing food to people who had lost their homes in the earthquake. In front of them was a long line of people trying to get food.
While they were eagerly distributing bread and water, Gremory, with a gloomy face, intervened between Alice and Seara.
"I'll stay here for a while..."
"Ugh, that's a surprise! Sister, why is your face like that? What's going on?"
Alice looked around at Gremory's face. Gremory muttered as he handed bread to the person in line.
"Bad sissy... What a bad sissy..."
"Why? Did you fight with Isolene again?"
"Don't ask, because I don't want to think about it."
"That young lady is too much. Why are you suddenly so mean?"
"Human beings are originally meant to reveal their true nature when they are in a crisis or anxious."
Gremory, pouting her lower lip, handed the bread to the next person. Alice patted Gremory on the shoulder.
"Isolene's personality is a bit strong, but she is also a rational person. I'm sure she knows that the current situation is not your fault."
"She took off the jeweled necklace I gave her and put on the holy relic necklace. That's also very good."
"Oh, she must have put it in to protect herself from Etna and the other witches. Look, our Seara is also wearing a relic ring."
"No. It's definitely because she doesn't like me."
Gremory, pouting firmly, handed the next person water with the corners of her mouth drooping.
When she handed over all the food, it was already night. As Count Sien said, the temperature dropped at night.
Gremory was grateful that Count Sien had given her the robe. If it weren't for the robe, it would have been quite cold.
'Sniff... But why does this robe smell like Isolene?'
It was a robe from Isolene's family, so it might smell like Isolene, but Gremory was strangely unpleasant. Shr remembered the face of Isolene, who was angry with her and had disappeared.
Seara held Gremory's hand tightly with a sullen face.
"It will be fine. I assure you. Because Isolene is the one who has been by his side for three years. If Isolene were a really bad person, she wouldn't have been by his side for long because of her personality."
"...Yes. I'll believe you."
Gremory's face came back to life. Seara smiled proudly and took Gremory's hand.
"Now, let's go to church together. The wounded are gathered in the church. Our sister Mori should go to play."
"Yes, let's go."
So two witches and a woman headed to the church. Even though it was night, the church was bright. It was thanks to the fact that the surroundings and interior were lit up with lanterns.
Gremory opened the door of the church first and entered. Many patients were lying and moaning. Sisters from the Grand Duchess of Ethel were busy running around treating them.
Gremory found Isolene disinfecting the patient's wound in the distance.
"..."
Gremory pretended not to know her.
The abbot who was the first to find Gremory hurriedly rushed over.
"Oh my, you have had a lot of trouble restoring the territory, so why did you come all the way? Leave this to the nuns and go rest."
"Why are you treating it by hand? Have you used up Beauty Potion?"
"Yes, there were a lot of injured people. Even though I only used it first for people who were in urgent need of treatment, the medicine was far from enough."
"Are there any critically ill patients right now?"
"Yes, there are a few."
"Then I'll go myself..."
Then, having found Gremory, Isolene trudged over.
"Get out. I don't want to look good, so turn it off."
Alice and Seara, who were watching from behind, opened their mouths, and the convent director was taken aback. Gremory, who had a fever, asked Isolene.
"Are you crazy? There are so many patients dying right now, and I can save them, but you tell me to turn them off? What happened to your real head?"
"Get out. Get out. It's all because of you that these patients get sick. If you have something unfamiliar, turn it off right away."
Isolene nudged Gremory on the shoulder. At this point, Gremory, who was furious, pushed her on the shoulder.
"Shut up, it's a bit crushed."
"Wow!"
Having lost her center, Isolene was pushed hard and hit the wall. Then, the lantern hanging there broke and set on fire Isolene's long hair.
Surprised, Gremory quickly picked up the bucket next to her and poured it on Isolene.
***
The convent trimmed Isolene's hair with scissors. When she cut off all the burnt parts, she found that she had short hair. Very similar to Gremory.
The green robe she was wearing, along with her hair, was also tanned. The abbot held out an extra robe with a very troubled face.
"Is this the only extra robe..."
It was also a dark blue robe similar to the one Gremory was wearing.
"Hah!"
Isolen nervously changed into a dark blue robe. Then she made eye contact with Gremory.
"What are you looking at? Annoying."
"I'm annoyed by you, too."
The two, who looked alike, turned their heads away from each other. It was because they were very stunned.
Isolene went straight out of the church. She said she would go to the place where the bodies of the dead were recovered.
Gremory went into the church and treated the patients in critical condition. When people were curious and asked how they were treated, Gremory said, "If you use the Black Demon Stone well, you can cure it."
After treating such critically ill people, Gremory finally hung over in her chair and rested. Shr was exhausted from exerting too much strength today.
As she sat down, her eyes closed. Her head tilted.
Just when Gremory was about to fall asleep in earnest, she felt a strange feeling.
'What is it?'
She felt a strong, unusual aura near the church. Gremory jumped up and grabbed the abbot who was passing by and asked.
"Do you know what's in that direction?"
"That's the direction of the plains. This is where the body is being recovered. This is where Isolene went."
"Damn it!"
Feeling ominous, Gremory ran out of the church in a hurry. She mounted the black horse tied to the stable and headed for the plain.
As she got closer to the plain, she felt a darker aura. It seemed that Etna and Marvas had done something else.
'Isn't Isolene involved?'
On her way to the plains, Gremory spotted a group of people fleeing in fear. She stopped talking and asked a man.
"Why are you running away like that?"
"The corpses have suddenly come back to life as monsters, and they are eating the living!"
"What about Isolene? Haven't you seen her?"
"I don't know! I don't know anything!"
The frightened man shook off Gremory and ran away again.
Gremory hurriedly drove her horse. While checking if Isolene is among the fleeing people.
As she got closer to the plain, her past memories of Isolene passed by.
The time when she appeased Isolene, who was drunk at the beginning.
When she was relieved that the puppeteer saved Isolene from dying.
When she held a tea party with Isolen.
Until Isolene gave her the emerald necklace she wore every day.
'This is what you care about, I wore it every day.'
'If you give something you care about to someone you care about, it's twice as good.'
Gremory still had the emerald necklace given to her by Isolene around her neck.
Finally arrived at the plain. There was no chaos there. The resurrected corpses were howling like beasts, searching for the living.
Those who could not escape took refuge in the homes of civilians nearby. The wooden windows and doors were locked tightly. The corpses were crowded around the house, scratching the walls and doors,
Gremory was glad that the house looked quite big. Many people could have taken refuge in it.
'Isolene, I wish you were in there too.'
Gremory waved her hand in the air. Then, the black aura escaped from the bodies of the corpses around the house, and the corpses were purified and collapsed. Gremory realized that the black aura belonged to Etna.
'Damn, it's hard.'
It was difficult to deal with the energy of Etna, the highest level witch, while overdoing it all day. To the point of dizziness for a moment.
Gremory got off her dark horse and knocked on the door of the house.
"Open the door and run away quickly! I've disposed of all the corpses around us!"
Then people opened the door and rushed out.
"Thank you! I will never forget this grace!"
"Oh my God, what did you do? Did you purify it?"
"Saint! The saint saved us!"
"Yes, I'm a saint, so don't hesitate, run away quickly!"
Gremory became nervous and evacuated the people. Occasionally, they rose up and protected them from the rushing hordes of corpses.
However, Isolene was not seen until the last person came out.
