Chapter 39 – The Incubus Visits the Church #3

When I just got out of the inn, I thought it would be easy to get the holy water. It was just a matter of finding Kate in the church. However, the moment I arrived in front of the church, I had no choice but to change my mind.

‘There are so many people.’

I forgot, but today was Sunday.
It was also morning time, and the church was crowded with citizens who had come to attend the Sunday service.
As I stopped in front of the church building, I heard whispering voices around me.

“Hey, look over there! It’s an incubus!”
“What is the incubus doing in front of the church?”
“Aren’t you trying to ram the church with your horns?”

Members of the church were staring at me.
The female followers looked at me and blushed.
The married men raised their voices in terror as they hid their daughters and wives behind their backs.

“Honey! Never go near that blonde incubus!”
“Why, why?”
“My male instincts are warning me! That guy is a monster who eats married women…!”
“Actually, I feel the same way. Looking at that incubus, the area between my crotch is itching so much that I can’t stand it. Uuuuu.”

A mature married woman who was looking at me was unggi-it! He groaned and sat down on the floor.
Even though I didn’t do anything, the families around me were collapsing before I knew it.
It’s not the first time it’s happened.
Couples and married couples in another world used to start a fight every time they saw me.
Sometimes when I see a scene like that, I want to flirt with a woman even if I get angry, but I haven’t been like that yet.

“Fucking couples. I want them all to search.”

I spat on the floor as I watched her husband help a fallen married woman.
What would happen if I pursued that married woman in earnest?
It is not that there is no such curiosity at all.
Because I realized that I have the talent of the golden sun through the thing I scared the nun the other day.
However, it was more important to me to get Rebecca the holy water quickly than curiosity.

“Belly dance-!”

I entered the church while shouting belly dance like a spirit.
The concept of entering an indungeon is to jump, so I jumped and followed people.
Of course, the church wasn’t a dungeon, but I had to be prepared for that much.

Because it’s an incubus.
An evil dreamer enters and exits the church.
Because of the goat horns on my head, there were times when I was treated as a devil by the church members. Of course, not all believers thought that way, but it was necessary to be prepared to receive negative attention.

“The incubus has entered the church!”
“Oh my God! Baldur! Save our lambs!”
“Kyaaaaa, look at that lewd horn. It looks like a dream come true.”

Members of the church looked at me in amazement.
I winked at a particularly enthusiastic female follower.
It was a response to the enthusiastic cheers.
As if the reward was too much, the young female believer collapsed on the spot, biting into crab foam.

“This, pregnancy ray…! The incubus has fired a pregnancy ray!”
“What should I do? Should I give him birth control pills?”

What the fuck is a pregnancy ray again.
The continent was full of incubus hatred even today.
In particular, the church’s response to me was more radical than I could have imagined.
Because every time I did each movement, the followers screamed grotesquely.

“Kyaaaaah
“The incubus scratched its head…! It scratched its head!”
“It must be signaling the demons of Hell!”

I just stared straight ahead, ignoring those screams. Screams erupted all around me, but no one tried to forcefully block my path.
The believers just looked at me with tears in their eyes.
It was such a benign response that I couldn’t help but be a little suspicious.

Then I suddenly remembered.
What kind of place is this church that worships Baldur?

Gwangmyeongseong Church.
This church, called by that name, was teaching a little special doctrine to the believers.
It was a doctrine that pursued thorough non-violence.

– Do not hit others recklessly. He must be someone’s precious person too.

It is said to be a teaching that Baldur, the god of light, gave to humans long ago. As a result, Baldur’s followers rarely used violence. To the extent that even if he was slapped on one cheek, he would smile and offer the other cheek.

I’ve actually seen Baldur’s followers beaten in the streets.
They tried to solve it by talking until the end while raising the guard.
That is, until the opponent puts the padlip in their mouth.

‘I can’t help it with the pad-.’

Because the people of this world didn’t seem to have much immunity to padlips.
That means I’m safe in this church as long as I don’t hit the pad rips.
Baldur’s followers are all foolishly naive.
Except for some blonde nuns I’ve met.

“Can I go inside?”
“Yes…?”
“May I go inside the chapel?”

I spoke to the priest who was giving directions.
The priest looked at my horn and opened his eyes wide.

“What did the incubus come to our church for? Besides, he wants to enter the chapel?”
“I want to pray to Baldur.”
“Can I pray for you? If you have a sacred heart, won’t you burn to death?”
“I’m not dying, fuck.”

When I made a stern face, the priest trembled and told me it was okay to go in.
No matter how you looked at it, it was a frightened expression, but it didn’t matter.
Because you have permission to enter.

I followed the congregation and moved into the chapel.
Of course, it wasn’t without noise, but no one tried to directly restrain my body.
Ignoring the hoot, hum, keuh-hum-like clearing of the beatbox around me, I took a seat in the back of the chapel.

“Incubus uh…!”

The old man sitting next to me looked at me and opened his mouth.

“Isn’t the weather nice?”
“It’s an incubus! An incubus has appeared…!”

I naturally greeted the old man.
But the old man didn’t accept it, so I got a little angry.

“You’d better shut that mouth. Before the dentures are gone.”
Hehe…!”

The old man stopped screaming in an instant, clenching his teeth.
Surprisingly, it was the real teeth that stood out in the old man’s mouth as if his teeth were healthy.

“Nice to meet you, believers. I welcome and bless the beloved believers who came to the Sunday service in the name of Baldur-.”

Soon, a middle-aged priest popped up on the stage and started the Sunday service.
The chapel was as large as the gymnasium, so there was no way I could be seen by the middle-aged priest sitting in the back seat.
I sat quietly and started looking for Kate somewhere in the chapel.
If Kate is also a nun, there’s a good chance she’ll be helping with the event here.

‘Where the hell are you?’

The chapel was so large that it was difficult to find at a glance.
For now, I had no choice but to sit down and pretend to worship.
There was a young nun who kept an eye on me, and if I did something stupid, she would kick me out right away.
I quickly decided not to give the young nun an excuse to kick me out.

“Glory, Glory, Glory, Glory-! Glory, Glory, Glory, Glory-!”

Singing hymns with the believers?

“…”

Like quietly clasping her hands and immersed in contemplation.

Of course, not all events are meekly attended. When the offering bag that was rotating in the chapel arrived in front of me, I bit my tongue and pretended to be dead.
As if my smoke had been consumed, the offering bag was quickly passed on to the next person.
I think this is enough to participate in the worship service.
The young nun who was looking at me didn’t think so.

“Hey, over there, Incubus-sama…”
“What?”

The young nun looked at me and wept.

“There’s no reason why you’re doing this.”
“What reason?”
“Sobbing…”

The little nun just wept in silence.
No fuck, I have to tell her to know what I did wrong.
Is it okay to just cry?
Is this town without Santa?
You can’t cry, son of a bitch.

“Uh, um. I think I’ve done something wrong. Could you please tell me why?”

Still, you can’t be mad at a little girl.
I tried to placate the young nun in as mild a tone as possible.

“Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey.”

However, once the tears broke out, they did not stop easily.
When a child in a nun’s uniform cried, all the eyes of the believers around her turned to this direction.
The congregation looked at me as I spoke to the young nun.

‘Ah, did I fuck up?’

You got the aggro right.
I broke out in a cold sweat under the pouring gaze.
Maybe it was a scene that people with rich delusions could have misunderstandings.
That the incubus is targeting a young girl. It seemed that even Baldur’s followers would not forgive that much.

“That dreamer is a nun-!”
“Oh, no way! Let’s go!”

Two big believers were tagging along and approaching me.
I woke up with a sigh. I had no intention of making a fuss in the chapel, so of course I thought of running away.
However, the moment the followers approached me, a familiar voice came from somewhere.

“Stop it!”

There was someone who stood in the way between me and the two followers.

It’s the blonde haired nun I’ve seen before.
The Kate I had been looking for so long appeared here at just the right time.
With a solemn look on her face, Kate warned the large congregation.

“We are worshiping. Please return to your seat without making a fuss.”
“Ke, Sister Kate!”
“But the dreamer over there did something suspicious…!”
“This is someone I know very well. He’s definitely not a bad dreamer to scare a little girl. As a nun, I can vouch for you.”

Kate put her hand on her chest and opened her mouth with a natural expression. Her expression was so trustworthy that she almost felt like it for a moment.
When I thought about it, something was strange.

Do you know me well?
Am I not a bad dreamer to scare a little girl?

Of course, I’m not wrong, but Kate and I have only been together for a few days.
There’s no way Kate knows much about me.
That would mean that Kate is now blatantly lying.
As soon as we meet again, that blonde haired nun is playing a ball.

Mouth opening.
Are you a nun who groans whenever she opens her mouth?

“Nancy, you stop too. Everyone is watching. It’s interfering with worship.”
“Yeah, but Kate unnie… That dreamer man stands out too much-. It’s not like he’s doing anything strange. Just sitting there draws attention. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen anything like this.”

Only then did the young nun, named Nancy, speak properly. She finally found out why the little nun was crying out of nowhere.
It seems that I cried because my presence was so overwhelming.
Why are you crying for that reason?

“That’s not the dreammaid’s fault. Actually, this unnie was also laughing from a while ago, so she couldn’t concentrate… Hehe. Although I was distracted a little bit. Still, crying is a nuisance to people.”
“Yes…”

Kate calmed her young nun with her deft tongue.
It’s been a long time since the big followers have already returned to their seats with one gesture from Kate.
You must be quite trusted by people in this church.

“What are you doing? Don’t get out of here.”

Kate said to me pouting her mouth.

“You’re in worship. Who are you to ask me to go out?”
“No matter how you look at it, you didn’t look like someone who came to pray to God, did you? You pretended to be imitating him and kept looking around. Tell me honestly, why the hell did you come to church? The date you promised isn’t today.”
“Holy water-.”

It was the moment I was about to bring up the holy water story.
Kate hastily raised her index finger and pretended to cover her mouth.

“Shh!”
“…Yes?”
“Hey, hey. Let’s take a short walk together. I’ll kindly explain the doctrines of Kwangmyeongseong Church. Yes? Do you have too many questions? You’re not like a dreamer, you’re curious about the church! Oh ho ho ho!”

Kate smiled exaggeratedly as she watched her surroundings.
Are you telling me not to bring up the story of Seongsu?
She was a very cautious woman in the church.
Outside, she misbehaved and had an accident.
If you want to move to another place, that’s fine with me.

“Follow me.”

I followed Kate out of the chapel.
And when I arrived at a corner of the corridor where no one was there.
Kate glared at me with her deadly eyes.

“Are you crazy? Why do you bring up the story of holy water in front of people? If the deal is found out, my nun’s life will end that day!”
“Oh yeah.”

I replied with a sullen expression.
Whether or not the nun’s life ended was none of my business.
Kate was mistaking something now. That my personality is not good enough to listen to such harsh words.

“What are you thinking…”
“If you say no, I’ll go back.”
“Where are you?”
“To the chapel. Let’s talk coolly there. Regarding the evil you have committed-“

Kate grabbed my sleeve while breaking out in a cold sweat.

“No way. Please don’t do that. I’m begging you.”

It’s so frightened, so I’m more embarrassed.
I just spit it out in anger.
I never thought such a vile threat would work.
