Chapter 179 – The Witchbeast Reaching the Saint #2
Inside the room of a study cafe not far from the annex in Uijeongbu.
Thud-!
The long desk shook with a heavy sound.
Having rented the entire study cafe, I looked at the huge book in front of me with a bewildered face and at Adele, who was panting with a distressed expression.
“What is this? Could it be a temple?”
Adele catches her breath and replies vigorously.
“Yes! Right! It’s our church’s bible!”
No… What kind of Bible is not enough even with your thumb and hand wide open?
Besides, the book had no cover, and had a spring attached to the side.
Just a very large notebook. Are there any bibles like this?
And where did you get the bible from?
I carefully opened the Bible.
On the first page, you can see the title [Doctrine of the Rosary], Written in large Korean and cute handwriting.
I realized at once that Adele wrote this Bible herself.
I smiled and asked Adele, who was sitting across from me and laughing.
“Did you write it all by yourself?”
“Yes! I started writing when I was learning Hangeul! Finished about a week ago! Besides this, I have five more books, but they are still unfinished!”
It was she who spread her shoulders proudly.
There are six books in total. The eyes become dizzy.
I should have just built up a normal crush stack and asked for a date…
I asked after pouring out insults at me in the past.
“So you’ve memorized all six books?”
“Of course I have to memorize it! Am I the agent who conveys Rosario-sama’s will?”
Your toughness isn’t normal.
For some reason, I feel like I’m going to explain the doctrines in great detail, one by one.
Nodding slowly, I watched as Adele drank the bottled water.
After a cute gulp of water, she rested her arms on her desk and said to me who was at a loss.
“What are you doing? Go ahead and read it.”
“…. Yes? You want me to read this?”
“If you write in Korean, there will be no problem understanding it. Just try to memorize at least a hundred pages today!”
What kind of fist-fighting education is there?
I put on a puzzled expression.
“Uh… In order to attract the interest of evangelists, it would be appropriate to start with something like the introduction of this religion…?”
“Oh, is that so?”
What if I ask a question?
She’s a saint who should stand at the forefront of missionary work. But don’t you know this?
Ah, on your planet you do as the followers ask. So I guess I didn’t feel anything strange.
I pick it up and let her laugh, but Adele, her face reddened, quickly follows her.
“I-I was going to introduce myself first too?”
“I bet you would.”
Seeing my slightly displeased face, Adele became impatient.
“Um… Briefly about our school… That… First of all…”
I spoke softly to Adele, who started talking gibberish.
“If you’re not ready, try next time…”
“Oh no! You’re going to run away!”
Judging from what he said, it seemed that there was a history of a prospective believer running away before.
Trying to teach like this makes me stand out.
As I pretended to be sorry that she couldn’t escape, Adele let out a sigh of relief and touched her hand.
“Shall we start with our prayers? Put her elbows on her desk, interlace your hands and place them on your forehead. Keep her head slightly down and her eyes closed.”
“Ah, yes…”
I did what Adele told me to do.
Then, Adele’s oriole-like voice pierced my ears clearly.
“Lord, who is full of love and grace, I thank you for having mercy on me and giving me grace. I feel infinite joy for guiding Song Ji-hyeok to the church. The Lord illuminates Song Ji-hyeok’s path…… “
All prayers in Korean.
Not even stuttering seemed like a lot of practice for me.
I, who was watching Adele with her narrowed eyes open, was taken aback when a small group of golden light bloomed from her body.
‘Sacred power comes out just by memorizing prayers?’
Did you just say you would learn the doctrine? Surely that won’t come into my body?
Swallowing my uneasy heart, I felt an unpleasant feeling for some reason as the golden glow filled the room.
The tightly hidden Magi didn’t react.
I just feel bad.
Still, it’s because it’s a human body, so it’s not affected even at close range. I’m so glad
“…… Please grant the grace of holy light to the life of Song Ji-hyeok, who will live by believing in the Lord. I believe that the Lord will guide Song Ji-hyeok’s life forever, and I pray in the name of the Lord. Amen.”
The moment Adele finished her prayer, the radiance was sucked into her body in an instant.
I quickly closed her eyes and when Adele said it was okay to open her eyes, she untied her hands from her interlocks.
Inside the room, the same as it was before reciting the prayer.
As if a big storm had passed, I took a deep breath in and exhaled it all at once.
Then Adele asks.
“How are you? Do you feel that your heart has become reverent?”
“Well… I’m not sure yet, but something feels refreshing.”
“That’s it! Don’t forget that feeling!”
Adele makes a fuss and likes it.
I smiled at Adele and pricked up my ears as she started introducing her rosary.
If she kept track, she was said to be a hundred battles and a hundred wins.
I’ve rarely lost money by researching information in advance and moving, so I’ll diligently dig into everything.
**
I heard quite a bit of information from Adele.
The significance of the Rosary’s existence is to destroy evil, save living beings, and achieve peace.
It was similar to the characteristics of Aether, a mysterious power.
And Rosario was the god of light and the head of the celestial world.
She is the only one in the world of heaven, but she says that she has followers like my pretty monsters.
Rosario took a very wide range of activities in the distant past, when the universe was so chaotic, but now it rarely moves directly.
Instead, they have precognitive dreams, and if the content of the dream is serious, they will select an agent to give an oracle and allow them to use some of their powers.
‘It seems certain that it has a direct connection to Aether…’
I wanted to find out more, but this was the end of Adele’s teaching introduction.
No further information could be obtained.
First of all, Rosario’s precognitive dream does not pinpoint a specific target.
I could be sure of this. Because Adele has only been given an oracle to gather his allies and save the Earth from evil.
If the dream had been detailed, my identity would have been exposed.
This is reassuring. I can move freely.
Today’s harvest ends here.
It’s a bit unfortunate, but later, when the relationship with Adele becomes much closer, I’ll be able to dig up more information… Today, I’ll just do what Adele tells me to do and stay calm.
After organizing the information and putting it into my head, I opened my mouth.
“I heard the story well. Respect for the Rosary seems to rise.”
At that, Adele smiled broadly.
I’m really looking forward to the day when the beautiful smile that seems to be dyed with light will change into an evil one.
Enthusiasm soars
“Yes!? Awesome, right? As expected, Mr. Jihyeok has a good attitude.”
“Thank you. Shall we read the bible now? Can we start here with Genesis?”
“Four! I’ll stay quiet here, so if there’s something you don’t understand, feel free to ask! Feel free to analyze as much as you like, but the most important thing is to take it deep into your heart! Thinking I was there!”
“All right.”
As I read the Bible, I asked Adele what I was curious about.
She was happy to answer my questions in great detail on a day when her learning attitude was very good.
That’s how we only talked about the Bible for close to eight hours.
The time when the sun has completely set.
As I continued to read the Bible with full concentration, I burst into laughter when I heard Adele’s gurgling sound from her stomach.
Then Adele shook her head and shouted.
“Rain, don’t laugh! I didn’t even eat breakfast!?”
It feels good to be angry…
I feel that Adele feels comfortable with me.
“I wasn’t laughing. I was hungry, so I just laughed at him. Why don’t we just stop here for today?”
“Um… Good. There are 20 pages left, but I will look at it.”
“It’s quite a Spartan education.”
“What is Spartan education?”
“This is the training method for soldiers recruited by Greek city-states in the past. It is also called agoge, but it was notorious for being harsh.”
Adele clapped her hands! Hit
“Aha! That country must have been very powerful?”
“I fell for that education. It’s completely ruined.”
“…..”
She gaping her mouth.
I was so cute that I burst into bread.
I laughed and waved my hand to leave the room.
“It’s a joke. Let’s go eat.”
Adele, relieved by that, let out a weak breath.
And then beat me
“Whoa… You were surprised! Same with yesterday’s candy… It’s really too much!”
“As an apology, let me introduce you to a delicious restaurant.”
“If it’s not tasty, you know it’s not fun.”
Where else did you learn that word?
I pretended to be shy and got up from my seat.
“I will take the Bible with me. Is that okay?”
“Of course. Should I read it whenever I have time? If you don’t know something, ask by text or phone!”
“I will.”
**
After eating expensive food at a restaurant with a nice atmosphere, I proposed to Adele to take a walk while digesting, and she accepted my proposal without hesitation.
After leaving the restaurant, we walked side by side and slowly on the sidewalk.
Adele bursts with admiration as she admires the surrounding scenery.
I looked down at her and smiled at her.
“Did the meal taste good?”
“Yes, it was very delicious.”
“Nothing funny will happen. Fortunately, the.”
Adele giggled.
Then, out of the blue, she apologized.
“I’m sorry, Jihyeok.”
“Yes? What?”
“At the cafe today… Come to think of it, I think it was really boring. Mr. Ji-hyeok wanted to be taught in order to gain mental comfort, but I forgot Ji-hyeok’s feelings and became obsessed with accepting believers. The way they spread the doctrine was also stupid. He was just bored. I will reflect.”
Hearing Adele’s complaint, I took out a candy from my pocket.
The mint scent I gave to Adele yesterday.
I held it out and said.
“Would you like some?”
“You’re not kidding, are you? I’m serious!”
“I’m giving it to you seriously.”
“I wasn’t nervous! You don’t have to eat!”
“I just meant to blow away the core while opening my mouth. This is cool.”
“…. I do, but… Then I want to eat.”
Like yesterday, Adele snatched the candy from her palm.
After she ate her candy, I also took out a new candy, put it in her mouth, and chewed.
There was a crunching sound, and after a while, Adele stuck her mouth out like a crucian carp and sucked in air.
An action to feel the unique coolness of mint.
Seeing her like that of Adele and her father smiled at me, I encouraged her.
“Everyone learns through trial and error. And Adele did a good job. Reading her Bible made me feel at ease.”
At that, Adele closed her lips and looked at me.
Then she asks, dubious.
“Okay…?”
“Yes. I didn’t have a migraine today, which was great. I’m really satisfied, and I want to learn again. I wish you well in the future. We won’t be able to meet often, but… I’ll prepare thoroughly.”
“Wow…!”
Adele opened her eyes wide.
She seemed happy that she was helpful.
“This phrase will appear in the second half of the part Jihyeok has to memorize. The Holy Lord purifies Orkos, who was pure evil…… “
Adele starts chattering about the contents of the Bible.
I listened to Rosario’s exploits until her ears bled until I drove her Adele home that day.
I had no interest in that, but I focused as much as I could.
Later, when Adele gives a surprise quiz or something, she answers freely so that she can earn her points.
