I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability

The heart, eh?

You'll find there's nothing to be gained by targeting mine.

I told you as much...

You have nothing to show me.

You were off target yourself, you piece of shit pastor!

I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince

so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability 2nd Season

Episode 17: The Church's Secret

My power...

makes my body extremely flexible,

capable of twisting further than most people at my joints.

Crik

Hurts but better than the alternative!

One of the best aspects of that is how the enemy generally won't notice.

Without any change to my silhouette,

I can twist my insides to avoid fatal blows without any indication.

Add to that...

the ability to twist my skeleton and muscles to their limits,

in order to generate a release of energy strong enough to shatter stone!

Cornered Rat—Pierces the Cat!

He's solid as hell! Not good!

I took more damage than him just off the impact!

But I need more.

To hit closer, deeper, with my full strength—all of my mana

and channel the purification straight into his soul!

Cornered Rat—Dragon Form!

It feels like I'm gonna puke up my guts.

I'm running out of mana. My arms are numb.

Stop. Just stop, already!

Babylon!

Please, let her escape!

Brilliant.

Oh, I understand exactly how you must feel.

"Damn, what good is divine sorcery?!" sums it up, yes?

That said, there is one spell I'm rather fond of...

Luxa.

Unholy Excalibur.

I must say, your body is rather interesting.

Where must I strike in order to kill you?

Unbelievable!

The Guild isn't supposed to be a rain shelter for you.

She says that, but yet she runs around handing towels out.

More visitors without real business?

Escher?!

What in the world happened?!

Well...

You run into trouble, Escher?

If it's for you, we'll pitch in, no charge.

Everyone...

Don't call for help.

It's all right. The Father just slipped and fell in the rain.

I was hoping he could rest a bit here.

I actually need to get going, so...

Please, look after him.

I'm so stupid. Why didn't I ask for help?

They all looked so strong.

That's right.

Because I understand. Deep down, I can tell...

everyone would die.

No one can stop him.

I have to... have to figure out some way to save him...

or Babylon will die!

I was getting sick of her singing, anyway.

Oh, God... the only thing I'm good at is singing and he would reject that, too?

How can I stop him?!

Please! I'll offer up my own life!

So, please, God!

Absurd. And that's the reason you joined the church?

I'm amazed you call yourself a holy woman.

That said... I don't actually disapprove.

And no matter how, I get the feeling your voice will reach the heavens,

Escher...

I knew it was you! That was quite the spill, huh?

It started pouring while we were on our way to report to the guild.

Hang on a sec.

Sylpha and the others are buying raincoats, and then we'll walk you to the church.

Please! You have to save Babylon!

I'm sorry, I...

Why would I ask you that?

I'm sorry.

It's nothing. Forget I said anything...

Well, now you've done it.

I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince

so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability 2nd Season

I can't really complain.

My life was pretty shitty before I met you.

And I did what I could to help out the boss.

Yeah, yeah... I'll admit it.

I liked Escher's singing.

I bet the boss does, too.

So, y'know, I'd say it worked out.

Hey, does this place have anything to drink?

Ow, ow, ow! What's your problem?!

We're finally reunited and this is what you do?

I guess you're right. We'll save the drinks for next time.

I'll try and have some good stories to share, next time I show up.

Babylon's awake!

What, what is going on?!

Oh, ish shuch a welief!

I'm sho gwad jou're... okay...

She passed out!

Uh, sorry, but could someone fill me in?

Everything that happened during the three days Babylon was unconscious!

Everything that happened during the three days Babylon was...

...Unconscious!

Lloyd grabbed the injured Babylon and brought him to Lordost for treatment!

Church

Lordost Manor

Three days later, Babylon wakes up.

That's where we are now.

And since the church might be infiltrated again,

Church

he had someone stay and keep watch.

He also had someone head to the Adventurer's Guild

Adventurer's Guild

to report back on what happened to the church...

And the ghoul hunt.

Saloum Castle

As well as informed Prince Albert what happened.

At Castle Saloum.

He also brought Escher and the Pastor to Lordost.

Adventurer's Guild

For their safety.

Saloum Castle

In addition to having the sisters from the church move into the castle.

Also for safety.

Lastly, he had the nice guy bros work on patching up the church which brings us...

Church

That brings us to the present!

To the present.

I see.

I get the picture, apart from "the nice guy bros."

The boss...

Where's Prince Lloyd?

You lucked out, Babylon. If you hadn't woken up today...

All right! Time for my forced awakening experiments with Babylon!

JSHWATCH!!

Forced awakening experiment?!

Oh, Babylon... you're awake.

What a relief.

What a relief...

Why do you look disappointed?!

I think I got off easier than I might have because of

how much I had compressed my organs with my flexibility powers.

It might've saved my life.

Stupid! You were still nearly gone for good!

Lloyd and Jihriel were casting healing magic on you for over ten hours,

and you still didn't wake up!

Ten hours?!

I must've really worried you.

You wanna thank someone, save it for Escher and Jade.

Escher was purifying you non-stop, when you wouldn't regain consciousness.

And more than that, without her asking for my help... and if I couldn't teleport...

You definitely would've died.

Right.

So, I have some questions about what happened at the church.

Then the enemy can shapeshift like a monster and use Luxa?!

Don't be ridiculous!

You make it sound as though I bestowed divine sorcery upon a monster!

Thing is, the underground ghoul we ran into blew itself up with divine sorcery.

I... can't really explain that myself.

I hit that pastor with at least thirty shots of Glow.

But there was no sign of him turning good at all.

Then that'd mean...

He probably didn't feel as though he we was doing anything wrong.

Purification generally has an effect on guilty consciences.

It can't create feelings that didn't previously exist...

Or maybe he has some sort of iron-clad belief that Babylon's purification couldn't penetrate.

Whatever the case, he sounds like trouble.

He grabbed me by the throat and started talking about increasing security...

So, he wanted to have wraiths possess the Father and Escher

in order to have more eyes in the church...

But to what end?

He's like a detective.

Around what time did you encounter the mysterious pastor, Babylon?

I had been keeping an eye on the interior garden,

since that was where I first encountered him.

And when I went to check it on the day in question, he was back.

The interior garden again...

Come to think of it, Escher said...
