Chapter 218 – Rest

She opened the door to the chapel with Helena in her panties properly.

Profit.

The door, which was firmly closed just a moment ago, is easily moved out of the way with a slight touch.

The first thing I saw as soon as I came out was Carla and Elisha waiting in front of the door.

“Lord, Master?!”

Carla, who had been walking in circles like an anxious puppy, came running.

Then she stuttered, caressing my face with hers and asked in a worried voice.

“I missed you! Didn’t something happen? Are you sick or tired? I am… What can I do for you, Master?”

“No, why are you making such a fuss, Carla? It’s okay it’s okay In the first place, there is no way that the righteous Gwangmyeong-nim would do anything that would harm me, right?”

She shrugged her shoulders, recalling the last cat-like appearance she saw, and Elisha, who was slowly approaching her from behind, let out a sigh.

“Apart from that arrogant remark, as if her god was on her side… You. You’ve been locked up in the chapel for three days already?”

“3 days… ?”

Even if you knew that a lot of time had passed, three days? I thought it would be a day or two at most.

“Oh? I guess I really didn’t know. It’s worth carla’s anxiety because she’s been away for three days without knowing what’s going on inside. Please comfort me well.”

“Huh. It should be.”

Didn’t know what was going on Did you not hear Helena’s voice screaming so much?

She even did better soundproofing than me. She is also a righteous light. Like a good god, he is deeply considerate.

Carla, who had been clinging to her since earlier and didn’t want to leave, was hugged with one of her arms and asked Elisha.

“Are you Elisha?”

“Yes?”

“Don’t you need consolation?”

“… Joy! I’m fine. But, well, I am grateful for that feeling.”

Elisha turned her head and blushed. She seems like a euphemistic refusal to only accept her heart… It looks different to me, who knew Elisha before she was possessed.

It is an expression that you want to intervene, but you are embarrassed because you are outside and in front of other people.

The evidence of her is her habit of twisting her own bun.

Her figure was cute and she smiled and whispered softly.

“Then would you like me to go down?”

“… Are you really crazy?! What are you talking about!”

Elisha opened her eyes and started slapping me on the back.

What… I can’t hurt you because of the slave imprint, so it’s just a pretend.

Feeling Elisha’s hand patting her massage level, she glanced around her side.

Helena was talking to Gilbert, who was also waiting.

Then, when our eyes met, he put his index finger to his mouth and muttered with a soft smile.

“Shh.”

“…”

After answering her wordlessly with a nod of her head, I asked Carla, who was breathing deeply with her nose in my chest.

“Carla. Where are the others?”

“Sup… Hot! Everyone else? I’ll be waiting for you in the VIP room. I didn’t know when he would come out, so I decided to take turns waiting.”

“There was no need to do that, and if I had ordered someone or waited in the room, I would have come to you on my own.”

“It is, but…”

After mumbling for a while, Carla stuck out her pouting lips and made a pouting expression.

“Did I want to greet the master when he first came out?”

“… Surely. I was happy.”

“Yes?”

After gently patting Karla’s head, Tudak grabbed Elisha’s arm and forcibly crossed her arms.

Elisha, who had calmed down in an instant, was cradled on her opposite side and raised her head.

Gilbert and Helena stare at each other as if the conversation is over. He smiled at the two of them and said.

“First of all… Shall we talk over a meal?”

Just as the light in the chapel went out and fatigue came, so did hunger.

***

A dinner held in a now-defunct meeting room. What I’m about to tell you is confidential, so it’s only natural.

In the middle of devouring food that is frugal compared to the academy’s cafeteria, but the taste is not inferior at all.

“Hmm… Therefore…”

The Pope of the Church of Light. Albaor stopped eating and continued while stroking his white beard.

“After holding hands and praying for three days and nights, Helena became a saint.”

“Yes. That’s it.”

I couldn’t say that I did it for 3 days and 3 nights, so I said it moderately.

“Okay… Oh, Helena? If you don’t mind, can she show you the power of a saint?”

“Of course it’s all right, Pope.”

Helena, who lightly wiped her mouth, swept her back.

Dig.

Then, as if it was natural to be there, a fluffy fur muffler settled down. It is a design that looks exactly like the one that the righteous light quietly surrounded me.

However, unlike the time when only the shell was reproduced, this is a real authority with power. It is the symbol of the apostle.

Ugh.

Light pours from the fur scarf like a waterfall, creating the shape of a cloak. What is drawn on it is a symbol of righteous light carved with light.

At the same time that the sun-shaped pattern was fixed, the presence emanating from Helena became even stronger.

“Oh oh… You are a righteous light…”

“I never thought Helena would really become a saint…”

Albaor, who opens his eyes wide with a thrilled expression, and Gilbert, who looks at Helena with a confused face.

Seeing the two of them like that, Helena smiled bitterly and touched the mane at the nape of her neck.

“I’m glad you’re happy, but… I don’t think I’ll be able to bring out the true form of the sacred armor for a while because I’m still lacking.”

“What does that matter, saintess? That’s enough for this old man to see the brightest light before he closes her eyes.”

“Come to think of it, I thought the light in the chapel wouldn’t come back for a while. No, you did. Have you heard of when the righteous Kwangmyeong-nim will wake up?”

Perhaps it was thanks to Helena’s drastically changed energy, Albaor and Gilbert didn’t seem suspicious from the start. She’s just what she sure wanted to do.

As soon as she confirmed that she was a saint, as if she had waited, she bowed her head to Helena and respected her.

Helena shook her hand with a puzzled smile at the sudden change in the two of them.

“It’s embarrassing for both of you. Please speak comfortably.”

“It can’t be. Although he is the pope, he is only an elected cardinal after all. I cannot carelessly say anything to the saint whom the Lord has personally chosen.”

“Me too… Hmmm. Neither do I. No matter how much you have taken care of them since childhood, you have to distinguish between public and private life…”

“Gong and sa! That’s it, Uncle Gilbert! It’s a private place now, isn’t it? So please don’t put too much weight on it. I am rather uncomfortable.”

Somehow, Helena managed to calm them down.

She knew this The Righteous Church of Light… No, the church on the continent of Eurelia is a group of fanatics, both good and evil.

There is only a difference between being crazy on the good side and crazy on the bad side.

In H&A, if, after going through the clergy route, she is given the priesthood and becomes a saint or saintess, the option of inheriting the papacy appears during a conversation with the pope.

Even if he does not necessarily become the pope, he will listen to anything the main character who has become an apostle has to say. Even in other denominations, they are on the side of taking care of convenience.

The reason is simple. This is because the apostle has God within him.

If Advent is to bring a god’s body and power in its entirety, the appointment of an apostle is to come to earth with a portion of his mind and power.

It has a human body and mind, but at the same time it is part of a god.

Of course, the pope and cardinals who had exceptional religious beliefs among the members of the church would have no choice but to serve Helena with great care.

Even though the person himself is uncomfortable, he looks like he wants to die.

Helena let out a deep sigh and continued her words, fanning her hand as if she were embarrassed.

“Oh, and I haven’t heard anything about when the light in the chapel will return. However, since the righteous light is said to wake up in a few days, I wonder if the chapel will return to its original shape around that time.”

“To hear the words of the righteous Kwangmyeong directly… !”

“We did the same until a few days ago, but did you say that it is difficult for other denominations to receive trusts, Pope?”

“Yes, Cardinal Gilbert. Since the number of dungeons I’ve found and cleared over the past 300 years isn’t that small, my recovery must have been slow.”

Seeing the two of them nodding her head with an emotionless expression, Helena sighed again and turned to me.

He must have thought that no matter what he said to Albaor and Gilbert, there would be an outrageous reaction, and he would turn his back.

Maybe it actually is.

“Brother. This time it is my turn to claim my rightful rights.”

“Yes? Oh, what about a bet? When do you like it? It’s a little far from here, but it’s within reach of Professor Iona’s teleport, so it’s okay anytime, so I’ll fit Helena’s schedule.”

“Immediately tomorrow… I would like to say, but if possible, it would be better after the righteous light awakens.”

“Aha? Do you want to test the power of a saint? It’s good. Please tell me anytime. One day is enough to prepare.”

He nodded and continued small talk after that.

Later, she talked to Alba Or and Gilbert about what she would do now that she was a saint.

To put it in conclusion, I decided to do external activities, but instead of going to the front as a symbol of the church, I decided to work harder on raiding dungeons or subjugating cults with me.

Through Helena, she was promised full support from the Righteous Order, but she was not short of money, so she decided to receive support mainly for items that could not be made other than the Order, such as holy water and holy relics.

If you give it to Fay, there must be a way to use it somewhere. If you don’t have one, you can use whatever you don’t have.

And on my side, I donated 50,000 gold to strengthen the defense of the Great War and the strength of the Paladins.

It’s quite a lot of money, but it’s not enough to burden me, and above all, it’s an amount well worth paying.

Whatever the clergy, everything needs money. However, there is no way these fanatics will embezzle money spent on the church, so you can donate with confidence.

Now that I have successfully made Helena an apostle in my stead, all that remains is to prevent the cultist’s concentrated attack that will come one day.

You can’t come all the way here and be crooked.

It’s been awhile since we’ve been talking about this and that.

The conversation was over, and the meal was already over, so I was just eating a few bowls of dessert, so I got up to leave.

Suddenly, Gilbert, who had been reluctant to say anything, opened his mouth, as if he had thought it was not the place for him to go.

“By the way, when are you planning to hold the ceremony, Mr. Yandel?”

“Uh, um…”

Caught
