Capítulo 174: First Act 43: Hero's Arrival 6

As Euphemia and I walked through the alleys, we continued to encounter monsters that were either lost or had been alerted to our presence. 

Most of them were weak, as the alleyways of Estelle Academy, though vast, were not large enough for mid and high-ranking monsters to efficiently navigate.

Euphemia's suspicious gaze toward me seemed to soften a little. I wasn't entirely sure what had aroused her suspicions, but the overall situation might have seemed overly convenient.

Soon enough, we stumbled upon the bishop. 

What was surprising, however, were the three kids behind him. 

Sasha was tasked with baiting him near me, but I hadn't anticipated children being involved. Judging from their appearance, they were likely slum kids. 

The bishop appeared to be protecting them from Sasha. Did he randomly encounter these kids, or did he deliberately come to their aid?
