In a World Where Dirty Cartoons Are Legal 261

Chapter 261 – Volume 53 – Idolism (1)

“Saint?”

In the sight of not returning properly.
A voice I’ve heard somewhere resounds.
Agent…?

“Are you okay? Are you awake? Do you recognize who I am?”
“Keuk!?”
“Saintess…!”

Why is the agent here?
I had such a question for a moment, but the time to question it quickly disappeared.
A throbbing headache started to plague me.

“Sir, holy water… Please let me drink a little of the holy water I dropped over there. Oh heck…!”
“…”

I wonder if my appearance was very unsightly.
The deputy looked at me with a very sad expression.
I shook my head slowly.

“I’m sorry. I know you shouldn’t drink…! Uuk…! There is. Still, it’s such an unsightly thing in front of the deputy…”
“It’s not unsightly. Now the saintess is overcoming the test nobly than anyone else.”
“Agent…”

Perhaps it was because of the sincerity of the deputy manager, it seemed to give me a little bit of strength.
I feel like I’m getting a reward for all the lonely fighting…
The pain that just seemed like I would never be able to get over now started to feel like I could fight it.

“Exhale slowly. Drink again.”
“Heh, heh heh…!”

Seriously, I was so shocked that my heart still throbbed.
Suddenly, I get a call saying that the saintess is strange.
She hurriedly came down to her country and found her suffering from seizures.

“How long have you been like this?”
“About a week or so…”

If it wasn’t a person full of divine power, it was already at the level of a red flag to come to health.
Not even being able to eat properly.
Grinding her teeth to the point that her teeth would be gone in a week, and she was in a serious condition just by looking at her face.

“Seo, why is the saintess like this? Could she have been cursed?”
“I do not know…”

In fact, you can roughly guess what will happen.
She was living her daily life well, but she moved as I told her to and the accident happened.
Of course it has to do with that.

And she made a fuss about her by asking for ‘holy water’ a little while ago.
It’s probably because she didn’t drink that holy water.
And if you don’t eat it…

‘The Pope must have given it to me.’

I didn’t drink the special holy water the Pope gave me.
Showing such severe withdrawal symptoms?
There is a high probability that it will be drugs or something equivalent to it.

But she couldn’t let the saintess know that she was a drug addict.
As if I had no idea, I sent the nuns out of this place, lying.
…By the way, it’s amazing, you blocked contact from other places in this state so that you can contact me right away?

“I thought it was weird.”

She was a strangely devoted follower of the Pope.
I was wondering if there was something like this.
Maybe it’s because it’s a holy beast, so I don’t doubt it very much, so it seems that you didn’t tell me.

Anyway, how strong is it that the saintess, and not others, suffers so much?
Well, since she got to that point, she must have been able to control people as she pleased.
Trash kid.

“I’m sorry, Rosaria.”
“It’s okay. Instead, you decided to help when everything was over?”
“I’ll help you while stopping grades and new releases.”
“Yeah, take good care of my daughter. It’s important and her mother isn’t by her side.”
“OK.”

So, with this possibility in mind, I brought Rosaria with me as I descended.
Until this withdrawal is somewhat over, she decides to entrust her sainthood to her.
It is only right to stop all operations here and wait for the saintess’ recovery for now.

‘Anyway, the Pope doesn’t know I’m alive.’

Unless I only release new works.
There is no doubt about it.
Rather, there is no need to rush forward under time pressure.

‘Because it’s something I have to prepare perfectly.’

Even if it was to ensure that there would never again be a victim like a saint.
Such a pope cannot maintain the state of the church in which he has real power.
…Even I, who have no religious beliefs, know that much.

“Huh, I’m worried.”
“A saint?”
“Yeah. Apparently, the last time I saw it, it looked really bad.”

Aside from beating the Pope, I was worried that something was going wrong.
I don’t even know what drug I’m addicted to.
I wonder if it’s dangerous to quit carelessly.

So, after returning to the academy, I continued to care about it, so I looked up information about known drugs.
Because the damage from drugs was so strong during the war.
Drugs are now banned in the Empire, and, of course, there was information about drugs that were known to some extent.

‘But it’s strange.’

Drugs are basically the most distant thing from ‘clergy’.
Anything that could be harmful to one’s body would naturally be erased by the divine power dwelling in one’s body.
So, when using medicine on a priest, make sure that the medicine is not interfered with by the priest’s holy power.
After protecting them with a blessing in advance, they are fed.

But that blessing is also quite tricky.
It can only be granted if the person blessing it believes that it is not a dangerous item.
Being blessed with drugs is also a very abnormal story.

Priests are basically a job that heals.
Singing practice is necessary to demonstrate divinity, but basic medical knowledge is of course to be learned.
There’s no way you don’t know drugs.

“Carly, I got a call from you. Please tell me to come down ASAP.”
“What’s going on!?”
“I heard that you have fully recovered. What contact did you have?”
“Oh, it’s nothing special. It’s a call from Rosaria.”

As soon as I realized the situation.
They hurriedly moved to Ramus Village, the countryside where the saintess was.
…Still relieved she wasn’t wrong somewhere.

“Saintess, are you okay?”
“…Yes, thanks.
“No. I’ve said it before, but I rather respect it.”

Drugs are not something that can be easily stopped.
It’s rather that she didn’t lose her will and that she endured this far.

“Could you please explain?”
“…Actually, I don’t know. I have seizures like this from time to time, and I always solve them with the Pope’s holy water.”
“Is that the holy water of the pope, something that the pope himself blessed?”
“Yes, right? You can tell just by looking at the holy power that dwells there.”

…But didn’t you know that the person who abused the drug was a drug?
It’s something that can never happen.
So, you’re using something out of the ordinary.

“By the way, by any chance, does the deputy manager know about my physical condition? You speak as if you know very much…”
“It’s not accurate. It’s just a heart attack.”
“Hey, can you tell me?”
“It must be shocking. Well, I meant to tell you even if you didn’t want to hear it.”

That’s how I let her know that this liquid was a ‘drug’ with a high probability.
She shook her head, saying it couldn’t be.
The more I listened to my explanation, the more I seemed to lose confidence.

“If this was a drug, I wouldn’t have been able to bless it… No, before that, why the hell would the pope do this to me? Is it a dangerous disease if I don’t take drugs at least?”
“I don’t think so. Since you’ve been quarantined for over a month now, you’ve slowly improved your physical condition. It was a typical withdrawal symptom.”

In other words, in the first place, she was addicted to drugs without even knowing it.
The pope gets her up at the right time she wants her withdrawal symptoms.
It makes you have a strong aversion to any situation.

She injects her drugs according to the options she wants.
She pretends to respect her choice.
It seemed that he had manipulated her to his will.

“This is the current situation I anticipate.”
“…”
“Isn’t the pope already corrupt? I guess so.”

When I heard the story, he was a person who followed me almost like a father.
To think that such a person was actually using himself as a drug.
The shock will be great.

“Still, I haven’t had any hallucinations or dangerous sensations like that so far, so I think I used a very small amount.”

Or maybe the original drug itself is of that nature in the first place.
The pleasure or toxicity of using it is weak, but there are drugs with strong dependence.
Anyway, it was a very fortunate part that I was able to recover in about a month.

‘Well, I don’t know the details.’

In the first place, I should have something to do with drugs.
Korea and Empire are pretty clean by the standards of ordinary people when it comes to drugs.
Most of them are conclusions drawn from magazines I heard somewhere.

“The Pope…”
“I didn’t believe it at first. I was the one who wrote the Bible. I thought it was the saintess’s misunderstanding.”
“…”
“But, I think I know for sure now. It seems that Mijia already knew this and entrusted me with this manga.”

Please don’t do bullshit like this.
If only I could stop trying to kill me and stop the damn pope who sees people as tools.
Whether it’s a faithful church member or a substitute, I’ll do anything.

“Maybe so… But I still can’t believe it.”
“It’s all right, but I’m not asking you to go and argue with the pope or find out the truth.”
“Then…”
“However, keep asking for holy water blessed by the pope. It is enough to decorate it as if you are dependent on it without knowing anything.”

Anyway, the important thing was not to present the evidence that was already prepared.
Political supremacy, which alone attracts many priests and believers, is important.

The saintess, who has more talent as a clergyman than anyone else, is not bad enough in this world to treat my comics as the Bible, isn’t it?
At that point, it’s not difficult to enlist the priests.
For ordinary people who just believe in it, of course she has the upper hand as a saint who saved people in pain by jumping on her feet until recently.
It’s a fight you can’t lose.

“So, just do what I said at the beginning.”
“Ah, you said to find nuns with talent and characteristics.”
“Yes, just do it well.”

Shouldn’t an idol water manga have a voice actor to sing?
