Chapter 481 – Between Us With No Hesitation

Qarring───!!!

Dark red thunder crashing through the night sky. It was so intense and vivid that the capital was instantly dyed red.

The loud noise and colorful flashes that occurred there attracted many people’s attention.

“Oppa!”

“It’s Roman!!!”

What happened afterward was clearly seen by everyone.

As many as seven women rushing towards one man. These are not ordinary women, but a mixture of the five knights of the empire and the saints of the church.

The people of the empire and the guards saw it, and the members of the church also stared blankly.

To them, the current picture was even more amazing than the man who appeared by lightning.

“Brother Roman! Are you hurt anywhere?!”

“I thought you were going to sneeze while receiving treatment from Atra, but you look tired. Are you okay?”

Among the seven women who fell into their own world, paying no heed to the gaze of those around them.

There are no exceptions. Now, flimsy excuses won’t work.

The emotions that were so clearly revealed on the face that they could not be hidden were affection, affection, love, and attachment.

“Keuhum…”

Majella, who followed, saw the buzzing reactions around her, and then closed her eyes tightly, thinking that she would let things go as they should.

In fact, there are times when I feel like I have given up halfway.

This is a picture that cannot be taken away or added to. Anyone with even the slightest sense can tell.

“I’m sorry for interrupting your emotional reunion.”

Before other high-ranking priests could step forward and continue her speech, Majella volunteered to speak out.

Roman, who was hugging his lover, slowly raised his head and opened his mouth.

“It’s been a while since I last saw you, Majella. I’m glad you’re okay.”

Is it because a lot has happened even though it hasn’t been that long since I went out?

That was how Roman felt.

“Same. First, I would like to invite Roman to the church. Would that be okay?”

Majella rolled her eyes here and there, subtly conveying her intentions.

The number of spectators did not decrease, but gradually increased, and even people, not just members of the church, recognized her as a saint and heard stories about her.

These are things that Roman doesn’t worry about since he has nothing to worry about anymore, but it will definitely be a burden to those involved in the church.

Roman also understands the situation of Majella, who plays the role of a guard, and her position.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I was in a hurry, so I caught people’s attention unexpectedly.”

“I understand. And the saint… No, no… I will guide you first.”

“···.”

Atra was embarrassed by Majella’s reaction to her emotional actions, but she had no intention of falling out of Roman’s arms.

This time, when he comes back, he can be confident from that day on.

Even if things didn’t go as planned, maintaining a businesslike attitude during the current reunion was too much for Atra, who was struggling after realizing her love for the opposite sex.

··

··

The meeting, which was temporarily halted when Atra stormed out, was completely halted.

Majella said she would explain everything later. She dismissed the church members and entered the reception room.

Since the opponents were a mixture of platinum adventurers and knights representing the empire, everyone was obedient and there was no opposition.

However, there seemed to be a lot of questions, so Majella, who will play the role of the saint’s escort in the future, is expected to have quite a dry mouth.

“I thought it would cause a commotion, so I sent all the other priests away.”

“Thank you.”

“Mazella. I’m sorry… For me…”

Atra, who was clinging to the seat next to Roman, who was expressing gratitude, timidly spoke.

The image of a saint who is fidgeting but holding her lover’s hand tightly. Majella sat across from her and smiled weakly.

“What should I do about this? It’s okay.”

“I will definitely repay Majella’s kindness in caring for me.”

Even as she touched the teacup and lowered her gaze, Majella could see Roman’s clothes torn here and there and caked with blood.

“Roman. If you need treatment first, it’s okay to postpone the conversation.”

“It’s not that urgent. In terms of priority, I think it’s more important to inform people of the current situation.”

“···I understand.”

I must have received your understanding directly.

Majella cleared her throat and moved her gaze towards Roman, wanting to start a proper conversation.

‘Huh…?’

Before she could even start talking, a strange sensation closed her mouth.

Even though it’s a wide sofa, it’s impressive to have as many as eight people sitting across from you, but there’s something new about looking at Roman, who’s smiling comfortably, from the front.

‘What is this…?’

This situation is not about Roman trying to live or putting pressure on himself.

Majella herself knew that she was not a person to be judged, but her abstract presence, whether powerful or dragon-like, had become stronger.

Now she is beginning to wonder, what are her abilities that appeared with her thunderbolt? Did she learn magic or use the power of an artifact?

“I guess it would be right for me to open my mouth first.”

“!”

Majella just watched blankly. Roman, who she had been waiting for, opened his mouth first.

“A saint of the order called Art. She is aware of the fact that it would be a problem if her relationship with the opposite sex were to be publicized by word of mouth before she even got married.”

“Yes, that’s right…”

In her confusion, Majella nodded her head. Roman seemed to already know what he wanted to say.

She is not a nun, but a saint. If her romantic relationship is known before she gets married, it will be difficult for her to break up.

Everyone in the world thinks that a saint is pure and has a greater sense of chastity than anyone else.

“I will prepare and take responsibility for that as quickly as possible. I made everyone wait for a long time because of my unreasonable efforts.”

“Tongue, brother…?!”

Atra, startled, held Roman’s hand tightly. Her heart was pounding, and her lips were trembling.

Not only her, but everyone’s eyes, who had stayed silent and did not participate in the conversation, were focused on Roman.

“Now that you say that, I, Magella, feel relieved. From what I understand, the reason Roman was hiding the relationship was for safety reasons.”

“That’s right. Didn’t there be shady things like Nema Natas in the world?”

“What do you mean…?”

Now they don’t exist. When Majella heard that tone, her words trailed off.

Roman took the journals out of his arms and placed them on the table.

“We were unable to collect the body, but this is the item that was brought after killing Nema Natas’ head.”

There was silence in the reception room.

It took me quite some time to get my thoughts back on track due to the unrealistic statement. Majella carefully opened her lips as the topic of the meeting, ‘abnormal phenomenon’, came to mind.

“···Can I look inside?”

“Of course.”

When her permission was given, not only Majella but also Atra extended her hand.

While the two were going through the content, Roman made eye contact with the lovers and made them feel real with a smile.

“Huh…”

“It’s genuine. There are old cases that were unsolved.”

Even if you just look at it for a moment, it is a content that stirs black malice. Majella laughed.

Atra read her journal with a wrinkled expression.

Roman excluded things like diaries about the Freemiller family from this.

Wouldn’t it be better to first pass on research logs that influenced a specific family to each individual since they contain explicit denials? Because I had that thought.

Majella Mar, who was quickly flipping through her contents, covered her book with her lips and cleared her throat.

“Our church has also been tracking Nema Natas for a long time. This may seem like comical laziness to Roman.”

“That’s not true. I am well aware of the hard work of the church.”

Majella expressed her gratitude with a nod and continued her conversation.

“Because the skill of cutting off one’s tail and running away every time was unusual… Shamefully, the church had no idea who or where the leader of Nema Natas was.”

“They were distributed and hidden in a point organization. It wasn’t easy for me to find the one sitting at the top.”

There is still no realism to Majella. The person whose existence she doubted suddenly died.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t believe there is so much valuable information.”

“It’s natural. It’s an important matter, so it might be difficult to believe it. However, you will soon feel it once the collapse of Nema Natas begins. I don’t think it’s too late to talk about it again when that time comes.”

Roman was planning to share the location of Albireo’s laboratory with the church and ask them to take care of minor cleanup.

I took out the map with the help of a mediator.

Marks written in a chaotic manner.

Majella, who was astonished to hear her explanation about them, chewed her lower lip and hesitated before asking her question.

“Roman. I know this is rude, but may I ask how you found it?”

“These are the connections and skills I have developed while living the life of an adventurer. It is difficult for me to share my family. I am sorry.”

It was difficult for Roman to answer this question in detail, so he had no choice but to gloss over it.

When Roman showed her apology in a preemptive attack, Majella jumped up from her seat and bowed.

“Oh, no! I’m really sorry for sharing so much with you and being overly greedy…”

“I understand Majella’s intention, not for personal gain, but for the safety of the continent.”

Majella sat down behind her, sighing in relief.

Roman saw the lovers on both sides.

“Rather than that… Can I also listen to the story now?”

Why are they all gathered in the church? Seria looks fine, but why is she wearing a hospital gown?

There were so many stories to hear.

··

··

‘That’s amazing.’

Roman was impressed as he recalled the story he heard in his reception room.

Should I say that they are trustworthy lovers?

I wasn’t happy that the attack came as expected, but both the decision and conclusion were excellent.

I’m genuinely curious about how big the sword image that Seria left behind is.

“Huh.”

Roman, who rented a room with the help of the church, planned to just change his clothes and go to the mansion with everyone.

The blood has solidified inside, so it doesn’t feel good to move around like this.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

– This is Atra.

A voice coming from outside the door. Roman raised the corner of her mouth.

“It’s okay if you don’t knock.”

The door burst open as if she had been waiting.

Atra entered Roman’s room alone and quickly locked the door.
