I Became a Priest Who Was Bullied. 82

Chapter 82 – 17. Who Overheard… (2)

Ah… Crazy dog ​​sleepy…

I wake up and look at my face reflected in the water, but my eyes are wide open. Ha… I should be able to sleep because I was so worried about what happened yesterday.

I don’t know who it was, but I had a lot of trouble because of the eavesdropper. The bishop also said that he would search around and find out just in case, but from what I could tell, the chances of finding it were very slim.

Since they were already randomly mixing in with the parishioners and couldn’t even tell who was who, finding them was almost like picking a star in the sky.

Still, for now, I’ll just trust Bishop Lisa’s words and wait…

Ha… Why did you get caught at this time? .

In addition to Cardinal Airani, other dignitaries, including several archbishops, are here. Even if everything else could be overlooked, there was nothing more troublesome than that to these people.

If that peek… No, if the eavesdropper had an idea, he would never tell them… Please, because I don’t expect much. I just hoped that everything would go smoothly until the end of this ceremony.

What… Just because you pay more attention doesn’t mean you’ll get results quickly… I quickly erased the dizzying thoughts, washed my face in the stream, and headed out to church.

“Wow, there are a lot of people…”

There is a crowd forming at the entrance to the church. The Hero Ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow, so these are all people who came to see the Pope… Hey… If there are already this many people, I have no idea how many more there will be tomorrow.

So, there is talk of even using the village square. Anyway, I was wondering if I could get inside this thing. If you say you’re from church, you’ll probably get out of the way, but hey… Still, there were too many people.

“Okay, I’ll just pass by for a moment.”

I didn’t feel like having to delve into that space, but there was nothing I could do. To get to the road leading to the back, you had to go around a circle, which was long and cumbersome. It might be a little difficult, but it’s still a little bit. I went inside.

“Ugh… For a moment… Joe, hold on…”

As I look through the greetings, a feeling of regret begins to creep in. When I thought about it later, I realized that my physique was tiny. There is no pulse of strength…

I don’t think it was like this on the way home from work on the subway, but I felt like I was once again realizing what it feels like to be torn apart.

Kkwaak-

“Hehe!”

As I grunted and made my way through the crowd, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my buttocks. At that moment, a sensitive part was caught, and an unintentional moan escaped me, and in surprise, I hurriedly turned around.

Some crazy bitch…

It was definitely a feeling of being grabbed. It wasn’t by mistake, but his hand was quite strong, so it was clear that he knew who I was and touched it on purpose.

I tried my best to remember his face, but when I turned around, I couldn’t even see him, probably because he was hiding in the crowd.

For sure… He must be one of our believers, right?

It’s obvious. Who would do this to me? I could see it clearly with my two eyes.

Thinking that if I stayed here any longer, something terrible could happen, I quickly moved to get out, and that’s how I was finally able to enter the church.

@@@@@

“How… I thought I was going to die…”

How do you come inside and exhale the breath you’ve been holding? I had just taken a shower, but my body was drenched in sweat.

I need to rest there for a bit.

I go to the far corner of the chapel and collapse into a wooden round chair. I wiped the sweat that had formed on my forehead and organized the disheveled clothes.

Tsk… Still, today won’t be as difficult as yesterday. In a way, I’m glad…

Now there was nothing more for me to do. I prepared so diligently for a year, but the rest depended on what the parish would do.

I have to try it today… Because the Pope said he was coming. How about standing in the back and clapping? There was nothing special to do other than being welcoming.

“Priest!”

As I leaned my back against the wall and stared blankly at the stone statue of the Holy God Amanes, a familiar voice reached my ear.

When I slightly raised my head, Deacon Rachel ran up to me and hugged me.

“Uh… Rachel Deacon? Now, just a moment. If you suddenly hug me like that…”

Suddenly she buried her face in my chest and rubbed me. It’s nice to show affection, but only when it’s just you and me. If I did this now, there would be too many people watching.

Plus, something bad happened yesterday, so I hurriedly got rid of her.

“Deacon Rachel… “I said this only happens when we’re alone.”

“Lol… Sorry. Without even knowing…”

She smiles and walks away from me. I gently stroked her head as she made a mischievous expression.

How can you be an adult, but still act like a child?

Still, I thought he would become a bit more mature after the coming-of-age ceremony, but he did exactly the same things he did then. Actually, I probably didn’t receive much love when I was young… Because she understood, she did not criticize her mischief too much.

“Huh? But Rachel Deacon… “Did you cry?”

“Yes?”

A swollen snowball. In addition, the area around Deacon Rachel’s eyes was stained red due to how much she rubbed her hands.

“Ah… Therefore… That is… I had a scary dream last night… Hi-Hi…”

Deacon Rachel speaks while avoiding my eyes, clearly showing signs of embarrassment.

No matter how much you dreamed, it’s true. Can you pour this much?

“It’s not like someone is harassing you or something, right?”

“Lol… Priest, I am not a child…”

The time for hitting with fists has passed. How old are you when you fight, but… I just asked because I was so worried that something might happen.

By the way, will this conversation with Deacon Rachel end in a few days? .

I have to leave here soon, along with Isabel. Bishop Lisa too…

If that happens, Deacon Rachel will be left alone, and there are a lot of things that are bothering her.

Are you eating well? I wonder if it will hurt. I knew I would do well, but I was worried because I couldn’t see it myself.

That doesn’t mean I can’t take this with me.

If we go, we will have to cross over to the dangerous Demon Continent, and now we are taking a child with barely any difference in divine power?

No… I don’t even want to imagine that. Furthermore, I knew that there was some danger lurking in a place filled with all kinds of monsters and monsters, and I couldn’t accept that, even if it meant dying.

In that case, I ended up going twice instead.

As I was chatting with Deacon Rachel for a while, a dark figure appeared from behind.

Bishop Lisa came forward, scratching under his chin.

“Haum… “You both came.”

Bishop Lisa comes out with a long yawn. He must have been busy all day yesterday, so his eyes looked blank, as if he had lost his soul.

“Ah yes… But Bishop, weren’t you taking a break today? His Majesty the Cardinal told me to rest…”

“That’s Okay. Anyway, the Pope is coming, so I have to show him his face. Isn’t that right?”

Really… This person is also toxic. Even though it was not someone else but His Eminence the Cardinal himself who spoke, he did not listen at all. If I say it later, people say it gets annoying or something. Since it wasn’t my job anyway, I decided not to worry too much about it. My body knows better, so it will take care of itself.

“Huh? “What’s wrong with Rachel Deacon?”

“Yes? Oh, no. Just…”

Deacon Rachel’s expression changes drastically when Bishop Lisa arrives. She had a look of horror on her face, with darkness under her eyes.

Did he get scolded?

It was embarrassing to see a kid who used to smile easily suddenly act like that.

She was just about to ask what happened.

“The Pope is entering!”

A loud voice is heard before the question is even asked. All three of us looked in the direction where the sound was coming from, and as if we had been waiting, the main door of the church, which had not been used for a long time, opened wide.

Kkiiiiik-

When the gate, which seemed to have five or six people standing there, opened, a bright light came through the gap. Soon the dark chapel was brightened up.

It’s the Pope-

Uh, I can’t see anywhere-

Wow, you are a real beauty-

Is that the Pope?-

The voices of the left are heard one by one. Soon, the Pope, the actual authority of the Holy Spirit Church, appeared.

Skin as white as jade and eyes that are gray-white and empty of anything. Soon, she flashed her snow-white hair and smiled at the congregation.

Everyone seemed to be surprised by the nobility that seemed so artificial, and each person let out an exclamation of exclamation, and the sight of her walking through the center of the church felt almost sacred.

Anyway, after blinking my eyes and looking at it for a while, what caught my eye were the horns and tail of a dragon as white as bone. That explains how she can maintain her outrageous appearance despite her high title as Pope.

According to the story, they were definitely dragons.

From what I remember, the Pope’s name was Apelius.

I don’t know if it’s accurate, but it was back when the Holy Spirit Amanes was human. He was her disciple who started Genesis together.
