Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1641 - 112: Hidden

At the moment Milica embraced him, Fisher was slightly stunned, but he still gently reached out and held her shoulders, creating a more polite distance. It was at this moment that he had the opportunity to closely observe this student he hadn’t seen in a while.
"It’s been a long time, Milica."
"Indeed it has, Mr. Fisher. Ever since you and Moli left Saint Nali and Queen Elizabeth issued and then canceled a warrant for you, I’ve been worried about you both, especially Isabella. I heard she seemed to have been kidnapped by pirates at sea, I wonder if she..."
"She should be fine now; I left Isabella in the care of Iceberg Queen, she is very close to me."
"I see..."
Seeing that Milica didn’t try to come closer, Fisher then gently released her shoulders; after all, he had just promised Rafael not to establish relations with new women. Moreover, he had always regarded Milica merely as a known student, naturally not indulging in reckless actions as Emhardt envisioned. He just said,
"This time I’ve returned..."
"You’ve come back to attend Master Helsen’s funeral, haven’t you, Mr. Fisher?"
Before he finished his sentence, Milica spoke up, prompting him to nod in acknowledgment, saying,
"Yes, since I haven’t been back for a long time, even learning about teacher’s news through overseas friends, I’ve just arrived at Saint Nali, unfamiliar with the recent happenings... So, what’s been going on with Mr. Helsen over these years?"
"Well, actually not long after Mr. Fisher you left Saint Nali, Master Helsen announced his retirement, rejecting the retention by Queen Elizabeth and members of Griffin Party’s New Party, he returned to his hometown Chittel City to enjoy his twilight years. After that, Master Helsen wasn’t often in the public eye until his sudden passing."
Fisher looked at Milica in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he still asked,
"So, Mr. Helsen really..."
"Ah, of course, it’s true." Milica listened to Fisher’s question, initially not responding but after a second or two, she widened her mouth and said, "Are you worried about Queen Elizabeth?"
"..."
Fisher didn’t respond, seemingly indicated agreement, making Milica more certain. Though the room only had the two of them, she still had to turn to look around, as if afraid someone else might overhear,
"Well, Mr. Fisher, Master Helsen’s passing should be real since a week ago dad sent church personnel to Chittel City. Not only did they confirm his death but also took on the task of hosting the funeral. But... Mr. Fisher, if you’re attending the funeral you should really be careful of Queen Elizabeth. Since she ascended the throne, I always felt... she’s becoming more frightening, it’s been particularly so this past year, even dad doesn’t dare to meet her anymore."
"Frightening?"
"Yes, overall it’s just... I can’t quite articulate, a few years ago dad would take me to her birthday party, but each time I met her I’d have a creepy feeling, always feeling she’s constantly watching me, every time this thought occurs my body feels like it turns to stone, so I eventually stopped going. Although the citizens love her, my dad, Principal Damien, and those ministers are growing more afraid of her..."
Milica hesitated for a moment, carefully glancing at Fisher before finally speaking softly.
"They secretly say... Queen Elizabeth cursed because she slaughtered too many blood relatives and is no longer human."
"..."
Through Milica’s words, Fisher glimpses the upper echelon of Saint Nali’s view of Elizabeth now, seemingly contrasting starkly with the naive populace and middle-class’s reverence for her.
Of course, perhaps the reasons for these people’s fear stem from Elizabeth’s now-worn prosthetic eye.
Having experienced events from eons ago, Fisher knew that the prosthetic eye seemed connected to Angel Leader Pandora who perished in the Ideal Country.
So the question arose, how was that Holy Object forged when Pandora and Remiel died in the Ideal Country’s underground? Moreover, it seems to be a teardrop Holy Artifact (Emhardt said earlier it could communicate with her), perhaps angels found another teardrop lost in the Ideal Country to forge it later?
He forgot to ask Helair about this point then, although she doesn’t forge Holy Objects but should have exquisite knowledge about that historical period.
"I understand, oh, there’s one more thing..."
After that, Fisher didn’t forget to show Milica the map, and as he expected, being raised under the Archbishop’s influence, her father had taken her to the Great Cathedral, a place ordinary people wouldn’t have the chance to visit, hence she quickly recognized the location depicted on the map.
The place Demi-human girl control left for Fisher is in the underground section of the cathedral, the resting place for the souls of devout followers.
Upon hearing this answer, Fisher seemed somewhat surprised, which implied that what Demi-human girl control left for him was beneath Teresa’s ashes storage. The church’s resting place comprises above and below ground parts, the above-ground part is mainly for the family and friends of the sleepers to mourn, where Fisher had visited Teresa in the past.
