Priest Freya

[Priest Freya]

We always pray for the true faith and peace of mind of our believers.

[Guard Neil]

Ugh, enough with those scripted greetings~

I saw it myself, what~

And besides, if it's nothing serious, there's no reason for the priest to be standing here like this.

Don't we need to know the situation of the people these days so that the security guards can be prepared?

Especially since we don't know much about the situation of people coming to the temple.

[Guard Dent]

Give us some information~

The temple is a place for praying for Priest Freya.

With a calm heart...

I saw it yesterday.

Here, in the middle of people fighting each other, this priest with half a mask off...

Oh no!!!

Wait a moment!

Stop right there!!!

Sigh...

Actually...

It's true that there have been more people causing problems at the temple lately.

Mostly, they're people venting personal grievances rather than raising official complaints, causing disturbances or shouting at the entrance of the temple.

[High Priestess Niren]

Hold on...

Could we hear more details about this?

High Priestess Niren!!!!

Ah, well...

It's been common for people with personal grievances to come to the temple and shout, and we've been trying to calm them down and send them away,

But recently, there have been more incidents of physical fights among the people visiting the temple...

Physical fights in the sacred temple...

Was there no way to resolve their grievances through dialogue?

Some people, even though we try to reconcile their opinions, accuse us of being heretics and cause disturbances, while others ask how long we will tolerate these heretics. It's not easy for us to resolve these situations.

But since they are complaining like that, it seems like they can't complain to Niren directly and take their anger out on the temple.

Because they know how important Niren values harmony

Heretics...

It seems that our efforts to eliminate discrimination haven't reached their hearts.

Moreover, causing fights even at the temple is not an issue we can easily overlook.

I've heard some disagreements to some extent, but... I may have been wrong to think that they would naturally resolve if we lived together, got to know each other, and understood each other.

Even though the hardliners have stepped back, it's not easy for the hearts of those who supported them to change all at once.

Sadly, that's true.

The time we waited for self-healing has turned into the result of festering wounds.

Now, even dialogue for reconciliation won't be easy...

We need some kind of catalyst...

High Priestess Niren.

How about this adventurer here as a catalyst?

They're a complete outsider.

Well... wouldn't it be possible to at least start a conversation?

Anyway, they came here to see you because they have something to say to you.

Oh my...!

I didn't even notice that

As you can see, we're currently swamped with internal issues regarding Rachel.

But what is it that you want to tell me?

Ah...

It's a bit difficult to discuss that here.

Please follow me.

It seems High Priestess Niren was looking for you. Did you not meet him?

We always pray for the sincere faith and peace of mind of our believers.
