-Twilight Coffee House.

The familiar spot by the window.

However, this time, the people sitting on either side were completely different.

"So, Miss Eileen. Are you saying that Mr. Renji was kidnapped by an evil nun posing as one of our church members and taken to the deepest level of our church's library?"

Tamic furrowed his brows, staring at the young woman sitting across from him, who had once been at Renji's side at the Sea Sand Bar and now came to meet him in Renji's place.

Eileen, anxious to rescue Renji, emphasized again a bit urgently:

"It's not the library! It's the abandoned sewer beneath the library! It's filled with monsters! Tainted corpses! All of this is because of your damn priest!"

"He has been secretly studying the usage of an 'Emperor's Relic' unearthed from the ruins. Those Tainted corpse monsters are innocent people he captured and used from Callewa's Blackhole Plains, transformed by his insane experiments!!"

Under the young woman's shocking revelation, Tamic's frown deepened even more.

He had originally just wanted to find Renji to ask him about the whereabouts of the 'relic' lost in the Callewa factory, but he hadn't expected this to nearly shatter his worldview.

A regular knight might have just walked away, or might have even arrested the young woman for "blasphemy."

But Tamic still remembered the principles of investigation taught to him by his captain, Durin, not to rush to conclusions and easily negate anything that seemed "impossible."

Observe, and think.

These were the two words he learned from Captain Durin.

 So,

"Wait a moment, Miss Eileen, let me catch my breath," Tamic stopped the young woman who was still urging him on the other side, quickly sorting through the vast information in his mind.

The first thing Tamic needed to judge was the truthfulness, and he had a vague answer in his heart.

Last night, after the secret conversation between his Captain and Renji, Durin disappeared early this morning. When he called, the location showed his Captain was in... the library!

  And also, in the hospital, his Captain's sudden shouting at him, the despair that Tamic could deeply feel from the voice, that incomprehensible sense of abandonment emanating from his Captain.

  And that sentence, still echoing in Tamic's heart.

  Durin: -"You don't understand"-

  'So that's how it was.'

  'Yes, what did I know at that time? How could I have known that the captain was carrying so much burden? Captain Durian's repeated demands for me to leave were actually to protect me…!'

  Bang!*

  Tamic clenched his fist and suddenly slammed it down on the table, startling Eileen next to him, almost making her think that their negotiation had broken down.

  But fortunately,

  "I understand now, Miss Eileen. I will assist you. I will help you find Mr. Renji, and I will... bring all those who abandon their faith and betray the Goddess to justice!"

  In the young knight's eyes shone determination, fearlessness, and anger.

  He apologized to Durin in his heart.

  Not only for his previous disrespect towards his Captain but also because he couldn't be like Durin, enduring and holding back. All he could do was to burn himself, even if it was just a flickering flame.

  Eileen: "That's great! I knew old timer wouldn't make a mistake in judgment!"

   Eileen: "What are we waiting for then? Let's go!"

  "No, wait a moment, Miss Eileen!" Tamic called back Eileen, who was hastily preparing to leave.

  In front of the impatient young woman, Tamic was much more professional and calm.

  He indeed wanted to burn himself for the Goddess, for his faith, at all costs, but he was not a rash person. He was a disciple of Captain Durin, who always reminded him of one thing the most.

  -Think, then think again!-

  "Miss Eileen, if what you say is true, then I believe that the two of us do not have enough strength to make any difference in this matter."

  "And now, since I am unsure whether other members of the Knights have been bought over by the priest, I cannot utilize the power of the Knights. And Captain Durin... my master can definitely be trusted, but in the priest's hands, he must have grasped some weakness over Captain and I cannot drag him down as that weakness is very important to him."

  After saying all this, Tamic's intention was not to demoralize but to make Eileen think again, to recall.

  "Miss Eileen, you just mentioned that you were able to find me because of the hints Mr. Renji gave you before parting."

  "I believe in Mr. Renji's wisdom, he must have also calculated that even with my joining, the strength would still be far insufficient. Or perhaps, Mr. Renji's purpose in having you find me was not to add my strength to yours, but to assist you in uncovering other hints that you couldn't discover yourself!" …. "Other... deeper hints that Mr. Renji gave you!"

After finishing, Tamic took a deep breath, intently focusing on the girl opposite him, and asked word by word:  "So, Miss Eileen, please think carefully and recall again. Did Mr. Renji give you anything else besides my business card when you parted? Or was there any special word? Gesture?"

  Tamic's words indeed awakened a realization in Eileen.

  Because, if truth be told,

  there was indeed a very "abrupt" detail when they parted.

  "Old timer… Renji told me that after he successfully got out, he would actively look for me to have a drink together at the Sea Sand Bar."

  Eileen repeated this last sentence of Renji to Tamic.

  And Tamic quickly caught on.

  Combining the scene described by Eileen, he immediately realized something and excitedly asked Eileen:

  "That's it! Miss Eileen, I think Mr. Renji might be hinting at a location, the Sea Sand Bar! Can you think more about it, Miss Eileen? Is the Sea Sand Bar some sort of code? Can you associate it with anything else?"

  The Sea Sand Bar

  The first thing that came to their minds about this term was naturally the rampage incident that had happened just the previous afternoon. 'But how could that be connected to the current situation...'

  Hiss!

  While Tamic was still clueless, Eileen suddenly had a flash of insight, her eyes widening in excitement and her body breaking out in goosebumps.

  "That place with the electric halo was where the old timer took action for the second time!"

  "Maria's Divine Healing, I've seen it. It was exactly the same as the one released by Renji in the cave. So, could it be that at that time... Wait! My mom also said she felt the nun was the Goddess herself, or at least a messenger. Could it be... Could it be!!"

  Eileen couldn't forget that when Renji first introduced himself, he claimed to be the Emperor. And her mother, a veteran nun, kept emphasizing that the holy light was definitely from the Goddess. So, a logical chain that both frightened and excited Eileen emerged.

  'Could it be possible that all of this was true?'

  'And that Renji was noticed by the Goddess because he released Divine Healing in the cave. No, rather, he was noticed by the 'fallen'. Following this logic, Renji's second action in the Sea Sand Bar must have also been noticed by "another" supreme being!'

  'Yes!'

  'It must be this way!'

  'This is what Old Timer truly wanted to tell me!'

  'Only another "supreme" being could defeat a "supreme" existence!'

  "I got it, let's go!"

  "To the Sea Sand Bar?"

  "Yes!!"
