Chapter 208 – Main Unit (2)

There are times in life when people’s values ​​are shaken.

I thought I was a genius, but maybe I’m just a crap?

The chest should be bigger than the head. But Iris is naughty.

5,000 words can be written in 10 hours. … It’s left right?

Platypuses have nothing to do with ducks and raccoons… ?

Besides this and that. As you live, a lot of self-doubt arises, and you fall into a sense of skepticism.

For me, this is the case now.

“I… Don’t you notice?”

“Well, Master, the circumstances are the circumstances. Right, Elisha?”

“Yes. There just wasn’t enough room for sociability. Now that we’re here, it’ll be fine.”

“Ugh… Junior? Shall we work hard together?”

Carla, Elisha, and Fay comfort each other with awkward smiles.

This alone makes my heart bitter, but when it comes to the Jangsaengjong duo, they sincerely feel sorry for me.

“Master… How about learning one by one from now on? Even if it looks like this, I am not the owner of the mage tower. I am quite confident in my external activities.”

“Hey. Hey. Starting from the second semester, would you like to take liberal arts classes instead of magic classes? Don’t worry too much, as I’ll give you some convenience as a professor.”

Me… Don’t look at me like that!!!

I know the situation roughly. It must be that they see me as a boy who came out to the world for the first time a few years ago after being stuck in dragon rares for the rest of his life, learning all kinds of information and fighting.

It’s actually a setting like that.

But even though I look like this, I was properly attending elementary, middle and high school and going to college.

It is not a mite that has been out in the world for 3 years!

… What? By the way, how many people did you have that you could call friends? I think I just went home and played games as soon as school was over.

“…”

A sudden, deep sense of skepticism.

Without saying a word, I put my hand into Iris’s armpit and lifted her up.

“Are you the owner? No way… !”

He grabbed the shocked Iris tightly and waved her up and down as it was, giving her a high, high pitch.

“No, let go! Outside like this… This is not good!”

It was Iris who was babbling for a while, but as she continued to board her plane, she resigned herself and limp, as always.

Shake.

It took a while to heal while watching Iris’ arms and legs wiggling helplessly.

When her mind was free, she was able to look around her.

A road wide enough to open your mouth. From the walls to the ceiling, the sacred painting was filled. And even the dark divine power that dwells everywhere.

Just by walking, most of the wounds heal, and it feels like your whole body is full of energy.

Yes. This is the corridor leading to the audience room inside the Great Temple.

We are now on our way to meet the Pope, guided by Gilbert and Helena.

… Gilbert and Helena seem to be preoccupied with other things than giving directions.

“Huh! Uncle Gilbert! How am I supposed to live now?! Head up… I can’t lift my head! I’m so ashamed… !”

“No. That. Isn’t that something that can be misunderstood? Helena, I know everything you know, so you could be so mistaken.”

“Isn’t that right?! Brother Yandel is a wonderful person, but his personal life is a bit like that!”

“A bit like that…”

Gilbert glanced over here. He nodded slightly to show that he was okay, and only then began to soothe Helena with a relieved expression.

“Certainly, it may be a little like that, but it’s all within the bounds of law. From the start, Helena, there wouldn’t have been anything like you worried about.”

“That… Yes. I see. Brother Yandel may be promiscuous, but he’s not a bad person. But if the promise earlier was about a bet, what favors would you ask in exchange for this medallion…”

“Hmm? That… Huh!”

Gilbert widens her eyes at the medallion Helena is fiddling with.

It’s a little scary because the muscle mass giant is like that.

While I flinched inwardly. Gilbert, who was ahead of us, strode towards us and asked,

“Miss Yandel!”

“Oh, yes.”

“Did you have another sacred object?”

“I didn’t have another one. I just cleared a dungeon on the way back, and I got it as a reward.”

“On the way… Dungeon… ?”

Gilbert makes a strange expression, as if he had heard that he had picked up a gold bar on the road.

Haha A dungeon is not something you can discover just by wanting to discover it.

He shrugged his shoulders as if evasive.

“Somehow I see it. I just cleared it because I thought I had enough power. It’s a medallion, and we handed it over to Priest Helena because it’s ambiguous to use, and it looks like a goddamn object of the righteous Kwangmyeong. Of course, it’s not free, and I asked for a few favors later.”

“What are you going to ask for…?” ?”

Gilbert carefully inquired about his intentions. Now I know Apart from having a crush on me, why are you so wary?

He’s probably worried that I’m using the Medallion as an excuse to do something harsh to Helena.

… To be honest, I’m a bit craving it, but what I want from Helena is a bit different.

Seeing Helena quietly listening to her conversation, she smiled bitterly and opened her mouth.

“It’s nothing. Just… I was thinking of asking you to join the party.”

“You mean a party?”

“Yes. A party that raids dungeons together and in some cases subdues cultists together.”

“Huh…”

Gilbert, who had dazedly blinked, tilted his head.

“I am truly grateful, but wouldn’t it be difficult in reality? Helena’s qualities are obviously excellent, but… I know what I have heard. It won’t be to the extent of following Yandel’s level.”

“It must be now. However, if you clear the dungeon together, you will soon stand shoulder to shoulder with her. More than anything else, the righteous light who restored her power might care for Miss Helena a little more.”

“Mmm.”

Gilbert’s eyes sharpened as soon as I finished my words.

The fact that Helena is her candidate for sainthood is a secret for now. A senior member of the church… She would have known if she was an archbishop or a cardinal.

In other words, no one knows her unless she is at that level.

But since I brought up Helena’s words that I would make her a saint, I have to be wary…

“This. Come to think of it, it must be something you know. My thinking was short and I almost made an absurd misunderstanding.”

“Yes?”

Gilbert suddenly nodded his head. He nods his head with a knowing smile.

“It is only natural that those closest to the Sun notice Helena’s qualities. Gwangmyeong is… Did you choose Helena?”

“Uh… It’s not like that, but I’d like to ask you a favor. Aren’t the cultists noticing you lately? You must prepare in advance. There’s no time to procrastinate thinking about who’s better.”

“… What is going on?”

“I will tell you the details after meeting the Pope in the audience room. Because it is so important.”

“Huh… All right. So, let’s focus on guidance first.”

Gilbert took the lead again with a slightly firm expression.

Helena hasn’t figured out the situation yet, huh? Yes? As she walked, she looked around.

My party didn’t say anything in advance, but they quietly followed me, as if they had guessed.

Even Helena, who had been stomping her feet in shame for being mistaken until just a while ago, she quietly noticed and became quiet.

After walking through her long corridor without saying a word, she arrived at a huge door.

***

“Ah… The light of the Lord was felt from afar. Welcome. I am the first servant to serve the righteous Kwangmyeong. My name is Albaor.”

As soon as he arrives, an old man comes down from the seat of honor and introduces himself.

Only his face is old, but unlike Gilbert, who has a great body than a fairly young man, he has a small and dwarf body.

But that doesn’t mean it’s weak.

I’m not a member of the church, but maybe it’s because I still have the protection of an A+ rank. I felt something intense twinkle inside Albaor.

A sensation never experienced by other priests. Does it feel like the Pope? Or is it Albaor’s personality?

In the game, he just looks typical weak, but in fact, I felt like he was the most dangerous old man character.

I can actually see it The only thing that seems weak is the outward appearance. The outward appearance does not hide itself at all.

In any case, that glitter will become a massive amount of divine power and become a miracle created by human hands.

For a moment, he hesitated at the most belligerent, righteous light of the pope.

Soon, he responded to Albaor’s greeting with a smile.

“Thank you for the welcome. But it’s a bit burdensome. Please treat me a little more comfortably.”

“What? In this day and age, the pope is, after all, a temporary post elected from among the cardinals. It’s different from the real thing before the Great War. I am more burdened to hear the respect given to someone who is actually favored by the Lord. Could you please speak a little more comfortably? .”

“… Just do it like this.”

Alba Orr nodded with a smile.

No matter how much it is, there is a little bit of resistance to the old grandfather.

Gilbert didn’t feel like an old man, perhaps because of his huge body.

Anyway, Albaor, who lightly greeted Fay and Iona, then talked with Gilbert and Helena.

Albaor is trying to let us go with a gentle smile, probably not intending to hold on for a long time in the first place.

“This must be tiring from a long trip, so I wonder if it’s bothering me too much. We have prepared a VIP room, so please use it freely. It’s time. You can pay again next time.”

“Thank you. However, before that, I have a request and a story I want to share, would that be okay?”

“Hmm? Are you talking about this old man? That’s an honor. Now, please have a seat.”

Albaor sat in a seat at the round table placed in front of him, not the seat of honor he was originally seated in.

I also sat in a suitable seat.

Then, he took the first step in the plan to protect the righteous Church of Light, which he had been thinking about for a long time.

“The cultists are targeting the Church of Light.”

“That’s what always happened.”

“To be more precise, we are aiming for the fall of the righteous Gwangmyeong.”

“… It is a story that cannot be shed.”
