Chapter 126 – Sisters of the Sun and Light

Me and Kate are dating.
Kate is my girl and we’ve already seen each other, so we don’t have anything to separate from each other.
In my heart I wanted to say that to Father Franz.
However, considering the practical issues, I shouldn’t have been honest.
If the church members found out that the dreamer and the nun were dating, Kate would suffer the most.
I had to fake our relationship so that my lover would not be stigmatized as a woman possessed by a dreamer.

“It’s a one-sided relationship where I have a one-sided crush. Kate has a nice personality, so she can’t just cut me off and say no to me. Even though I’m tired of following her to the church like a stalker.”
“Ah, horned wizard. You mean you have a crush on Miss Kate?”
“That’s right.”

I nodded.
I thought this was enough for everything.
The fact that a dreamer and a nun are dating is a relationship that cannot be accepted by the common sense of the world.
Even if I cheated on people, I was satisfied with that as long as we maintained a loving relationship between the two of us.
However, Kate, who was actually dating me, seemed to be unsatisfied.

“Oh no-!”

Kate, who was sitting next to me, suddenly screamed.
It was so loud that the hallway of the nave was blown away, and Father Franz and I were startled and stopped.
Kate stared at the two of us, her slender hands clenched into her fists.

“Hey, what if you say that!”
“If it’s not, then it’s not! Dream ma-nim loves me unrequitedly! There’s no way he’s chasing me one-sidedly!”
“Well, but then, how do you live as a nun? It’ll be a big deal if you tell the church members honestly.”

When I tried to convince her, Kate threw the veil she was wearing over her head into the hallway.
Said Kate, ignoring the black nun’s veil strewn across her floor.

“Even quitting my job as a nun! I can’t even date properly, so what’s the point of my life! Oh, I can’t stand it because it’s frustrating. I’ve been frustrated ever since Paladin asked what kind of relationship we have!”

The words Kate had been holding in her heart came pouring out like a waterfall.
Now that this had happened, it was as if the church members had discovered that the two of us were dating.

Father Franz.
The person next to us now was, in Kate’s words, the head of the church.
It was unmistakably true that Kate’s life as a nun would be disrupted by the discovery of her secret love affair.

“Oh, you were dating a wizard? Kate.”
“Yes! Here’s a nun dating a dreamer, Father! What are you going to do? Are you going to excommunicate me!”
“Excommunication is outrageous. Cheolkeol.”

I thought there would definitely be a bad reaction, but surprisingly it wasn’t.
Father Franz looked at Kate, who suddenly held my hand, her wry smile spilling out.

“There could be a nun dating a dreamer. A young man and a young man and a young man love each other, so what race does it have to do with it? They say that most incubus are evil villains, but there are a few incubus who don’t get stained by evil and walk the good path. Here You can see that the magician-nim is good.”

Am I good?
How do you know that

I wondered inwardly, but Father Franz continued to speak as if he had mastered mind-reading, and answered my doubts.

“He risked his life against a paladin to protect the woman he loved. If that wasn’t enough, he used magic to protect church members he had no relationship with. You can’t treat such a benefactor just because she has horns on her head.”
“Poem, Father! So, you’re saying that you’ll admit that I’m dating Nightmare-nim?”

Kate looked at Father Franz with trembling eyes as if an earthquake had struck her pupils.
Even Kate herself didn’t know that a positive answer would come.
It seems that she just shouted in a fit of rage.

“Of course you have to admit it. You can freely date your lover.”
“Bah, Lord Baldur.”

With her permission, Kate quickly put her veil on her head, which she had thrown like garbage on the floor.
Kate took my hand and shook off her fuss.

“Kiyah hoo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh-! Dreamcatcher is awesome! Awesome! I think we’ve decided where our wedding venue will be!!”
“Where is the wedding hall?”
“Let’s do it at church!! It would be perfect if we asked Father Franz to officiate! Actually, like a nun, I wanted to hold the ceremony at church!!”

In an instant, she saw Kate, whose spirits were soaring to the ceiling and her sudden burst.
But she had a wedding in a church, something I had never imagined as a dreamer.
If you get married with your lovers while receiving congratulations from many church members, you will surely be very moved.

“Good. Very good.”
“Right?!

As the two of us were chatting, we arrived at the room that Father Franz showed us to from the main hall.

Chief priest’s office.
It was a small room at the top of the main hall, where Father Franz usually lived and did his business.

“Only the wizard should come inside. Kate, you wait outside.”
“All right!”

Leaving Kate in her hallway, Franz and I went into the main pregnancy room.
Father Franz sat me down at the table, served tea, and had a tea time where we sipped tea in silence for a while.

It was black tea.
I don’t know much about tea, but I know that it’s a luxurious black tea that fits in my mouth.
I had a conversation with Father Franz while savoring the soft, sweet black tea.

“So what’s the story you want to tell me?”
“It’s not such a big story. I just want to say that the wizard-nim ​​takes good care of Kate, whom he is dating.”

Father Franz said I bowed her head and wished Kate well.
The bride’s attitude was like that of his grandfather marrying his granddaughter. As the priest in charge of the church, he seemed to think of the nuns as if they were his children.

“You don’t have to ask for that. It’s about taking care of my woman, and I have to treat her well with all of my body.”
“Can you really do it all by yourself?”

It’s a bit embarrassing question that I can do well on my own.
Whether you do well or not, you have to do it yourself.
I’m the only one in charge of my woman.

“Ms. Kate is a nun who is involved in our church organization. As she develops a relationship with Kate, you will have to run into many church members. Every time there is a disagreement, it will be difficult for you and Kate.”
“I have to do my best not to cause discord. Or whenever church members show up, I hide.”
“Do you really need to hide? One way is to become a member of Kwangmyeongseong Church.”
“What, what?”

Father Franz suggested a rather novel method to me.
The first time I heard it, I couldn’t tell if it was a joke or serious.

“Wizard. What’s your name?”
“Lou, this is Luke.”
“Yes, Mr. Luke. Get baptized today and be the first to become a church member among dreamers. Don’t hide, become a church member and proudly declare that you’re dating Miss Kate.”
“Hey, are you saying this with your mind right now? Aren’t you saying that because you’re drunk?”
“I’m very sane right now.”

I didn’t know that there would be a priest who suggested that the dreamer become a church member.
Kate hadn’t even thought about proselytizing me.
Of course, Father Franz did not offer me to become a church member out of meek favor.

“Among the church members all over the continent, the Nightmare is treated as an evil being. There were countless priests who tried to edify them, but I heard that most of them failed. However, at our Joensu branch, the Nightmare was baptized and reformed as a church member. How would you like to work?”

After a long conversation, I looked at Father Franz and his face.
In the eyes of the priest looking at me, something like greed flashed for a moment, then disappeared. I knew very well what that desire was.

Desire for missionary work.
As the head priest in charge of the Yoensuu branch, his desire to spread the doctrine to the different races.
That desire manifested itself in action is what transforms me into a church member.
The dreamer, who had not been reformed by anyone, became the first member of the church in Yoensuu.
Then, it must be Father Franz who is attracting attention.

‘It’s a good story for each other. I like it, and Father Franz likes it too.’

My becoming a church member was a win-win for both sides.
Actually, I’m fed up with having a secret relationship with Kate in front of church members.
I can go out with my girlfriend freely, but she can tolerate going to church on Sundays.

“Okay. I’ll believe in Baldur after I was baptized. There’s nothing I can’t believe in since he was the one who struck for Mactado instead.”
“There will be a baptism ceremony at the church this Sunday. You can come and get baptized at that time. It would be better if you could say a few words of praise for Baldur’s greatness.”
“Call.”
“Cole?”
“It means good. One-eyed priest.”

So I ended my conversation with Father Franz.
Somehow I got baptized this Sunday, but I don’t really care.
Because at the military training center, I had the experience of changing my religion every week.
It is easy to believe in a new god.

“I’ll see you on Sunday.”
“Then go back well.”

I greeted Father Franz and came out of the priest’s room.
Kate was waiting in the hallway, and when I came out, she asked curiously.

“What did you and the priest talk about inside?”
“You told me to become a member of the church? Come to the church this Sunday and be baptized. I think you should become a member of the church and go out with yourself proudly.”

I explained to Kate why Father Franz had made such an offer.
It seems that he is trying to build honor as a priest by accumulating the achievement of edifying the dreamer.
When he heard that, Kate nodded his head in agreement.

“As with Father Franz, the most important thing for priests is to edify the different races. Some priests even went to barbarians and preached the doctrine. Father Franz is greedy for missionary work. I understand why you asked me to become a church member.”
“Anyway, that’s a good thing. If you become a member of the church, you can come into the church as you like. You can come and see me while you’re working.”
“Whoa. Do you want to meet me like that? Do you think you can’t stand it if you don’t see me for a day?”

Kate asked with a mischievous smile.
I smiled shyly and nodded her head.

“Yeah. My girlfriend works, so we can buy something to eat and visit her.”
“Oops. Outside food is not allowed here.”
“Then shall I come empty-handed?”
“No! Please hide it and bring it! I like that sandwich.”

I wanted to take Kate out of the church right away, but I couldn’t.
Today was Baldur’s birthday, so the nuns were very busy.
Due to the confrontation between me and the paladin, I had to clean up the ruined church grounds, and there were also times when I had to collect the body of a paladin who died while rampaging alone.
Eventually, it was late in the evening when I was able to get out of the church with Kate.
When Kate, who had been busy working late, came out to her downtown, she stretched her arms as if she was relieved.

“Auuuuu… So, Dreamcatcher. Why did you come to church today? Did you come to make a date with me?”

Come to think of it, there were so many events that I couldn’t tell Kate about important things.
That she had come to the church to take Kate to the celebratory party tonight.
I told her Kate the reason for coming to see her.

“Tonight, we’re going to have a commemorative party on the roof of the inn. It’s a party where all the members of the fixed party gather together. It’s been three months since the fixed party was formed, but there’s never been a place like that.”
“Fixed party members? So, does Rebecca unnie come too? I’m a bit awkward with her right now.”

I nodded my head as I swallowed.

“Yes. Rebecca is waiting for you on the roof right now. See you and follow me.”
“Follow me to the rooftop! I feel like I’m going to have to fight her sister for some reason.”

Ugh.
Did I say something wrong?
The rooftop stage feels a bit like a duel.

“Hook hook! Rebecca sister, are you that good at fighting?”

Kate, she must have misunderstood me, was in her boxing pose with her fists clenched.
