Chapter 88 – 19. Why Am I a Warrior? (2)
“Priest!”
Huh?
Sylvia suddenly waves her hands and moves forward.
Her sudden behavior made Isabel’s body stiffen, and unfortunately, as Sylvia’s voice reached the priest’s ears, they unintentionally made eye contact.
Crazy?!
Putting her confused emotions aside, she quickly grabbed Sylvia’s wrist. No, something like that happened, how can you look at her face? She was so embarrassed that she didn’t have the confidence to raise her head.
Of course, she said she was drunk at the time, but even if she put it aside, her hands and feet were shaking when she looked back on what happened.
“Huh? Why?”
“… Hey priest, you’re talking to her congregation. “Let’s go without disturbing you.”
“Hindrance? “I just wanted to say hello for a moment?”
“You look busy. Let’s just go.”
Isabel tries to quickly avoid this position by making excuses.
It seemed like the priest had already made eye contact with her, but I thought something would happen if she left quickly.
“You two are here.”
Of course, if this voice wasn’t heard.
Priest Isaiah looks up at Isabel and Sylvia with a bright smile, wondering how long he has been here.
For a moment, Isabel felt as if her heart was stopping, and almost instinctively, she avoided her gaze.
Fucked…
She ran into the person she least wanted to run into. Of course, it wasn’t because I didn’t like it. My last remaining conscience was just telling me to get out of here quickly.
“Hello. “Priest.”
“Oh, hello.”
Isabel and Sylvia smile brightly and say hello to the priest, not knowing how she feels. She couldn’t keep pretending not to know, so she reluctantly smiled and welcomed him, albeit awkwardly.
Madam… I want to run away…
I felt like I wanted to hide in a hole somewhere. I don’t know why the priest came this far, just to continue his conversation with the believers.
“It’s been a while since I saw you. “Are you here for the hero selection ceremony?”
“Oh, yeah…”
I can’t show my expression, so I put my face down as much as possible and answer without knowing.
Eventually, Priest Isaiah looks at Isabel and Sylvia with a bright smile.
His gaze was soon fixed on Isabel, his superior.
“Isabelle, it’s been a while. How have you been?”
“Ahaha… Yes… What am I…”
Unlike Isabel, her tone was soft, as if she had completely forgotten what happened that day.
I couldn’t read what was in those clear eyes.
“I was really grateful for the work back then. “You are the savior of my life.”
“No. Haha…”
How many times have I said that already?
After that incident a year ago, I started talking to her every time I saw her.
To say that you saved his life, that you were a lifesaver… I thought I would do it once or twice, but after a certain point, it felt burdensome to be greeted like this every time.
“Uhm… Priest, I think I helped you too…”
“Lol… Thank you too, Sylvia.”
Sylvia’s lips protruded as she asked why she didn’t say thank you.
In response, Priest Isaiah scratched her head as if he was sorry.
… But that bitch… Why is her tail like that?
It shakes mercilessly like a dog that meets its owner who has gone out to work. Even though she was a woman, her emotions were expressed as they were.
“Oh! By the way, Sylvia, I didn’t see you during the service last Sunday. Were you very busy?”
“Aha… I have a lot of work to do for one reason or another. I will definitely come out next time.”
“I wasn’t urging you… You don’t have to force yourself to come out. “He always came out without fail, but suddenly he stopped coming, so I was wondering if something had happened.”
… Huh? For a moment… So far so good, but what is this conversation about now? I’m secretly listening from the side, but the content is quite disturbing.
Sylvia, I know she’s definitely an atheist, but I don’t know what kind of nonsense this is.
He has no interest in anything like that, let alone religion. However… She doesn’t miss every time, and she goes to Sunday service?
She probably doesn’t want to think like that, but she can’t believe this bastard priest…
The facial expression gradually becomes distorted, as if it has suffered. Sylvia’s face was now openly red, as if she had no intention of hiding it.
@@@@@
“Anyway, you two, please follow me. “I will guide you inside.”
“Ah yes…”
Because there were too many people, Isabel and Sylvia followed Priest Isaiah through the back door rather than the front door.
Everyone was waiting at the front gate, and I asked if it was okay to do this.
Although others may not know, it is said that all the villagers who originally lived here should gather in one place inside the church.
Only then can the Lord come down and properly check who the warrior is?
Anyway, for that reason, I arrived at the huge chapel of the church. As she entered, familiar faces caught her eye one by one.
“You can wait here. There are 30 minutes left until the election ceremony. Please rest comfortably.”
Priest Isaiah turns around and leaves as if his work is done. When she turned her gaze and saw Sylvia, her child, with her mouth wide open, she was staring at the back of Priest Isaiah.
Park-
“Ah! Why are you hitting me?”
When I scratched the back of her head to get her to come to her senses, Sylvia stumbled slightly in front of her and suddenly glared at her sharply, asking why she was acting like this.
Looking at her with her head held up stiffly, not knowing what she had done wrong, it seemed like she had not been beaten yet.
“Are you crazy?”
“Oh, why?”
“You go to Sunday service? “Didn’t you tell me you were an atheist?”
“No… “You can believe it, why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
Are you saying that because you really don’t know? Then it is as serious as it is. Even if I just watched from the side, I could see it clearly with my own two eyes, and my bones ached.
“You crazy bitch, no matter what, the priest…”
There is no afterword. If I went any further than this, it would really cross the line and I felt like I would explode, so I barely held back and swallowed the words that were up in my throat.
“S-Why did the priest…”
“Why don’t you put up a poster saying it’s very good. Huh?”
“Ah… “Is it obvious like that?”
It’s obvious… I can’t help but sigh because it’s so absurd. No, I have to look beyond it. I wonder if it makes sense for a mere adventurer to have dark intentions toward a priest.
No matter how different or thoughtless the child is, I didn’t know it would be like this.
“You… Ha…”
All I can do is sigh. To be honest, I didn’t know what the point was, so I gave up and sat down on the long worship chair.
Now that I’ve come to see it, it looks like he was wearing all those goka clothes with the intention of looking good to the priest.
“Think of the gap in status between you and the priest. There are things you can do and things you cannot do.”
“No, what is that…” . It may be a bit like that, but it won’t be a big problem, right?”
I know how Sylvia feels. Of course, there is an attractive man, and in a way, it is a woman’s natural psychology to want to make him his.
But there is also a reasonable line. It was no different from a crime to follow a priest to his place of work and do something like that. I don’t know if the other person likes me and doesn’t show any signs,
I was watching from the side and no matter how I looked, I thought it wasn’t that.
And above all…
Because I did it with the priest…
This really confused me like crazy.
“Tsk… Okay. I’ll be careful…”
“No, just try… Done… I don’t know either.”
Isabel didn’t seem to understand if she said anymore, so she leaned back against the backrest, feeling like she should just figure it out. As she waited for a while, the main door of the church burst open.
@@@@@
The ceremony began. When the Pope entered the chapel, the noisy place suddenly became quiet.
After that, high-ranking people such as cardinals and archbishops came in, and I was quietly watching all of this from a distance.
“Whoa… It’s starting.”
Before I knew it, Deacon Rachel was next to me, clinging to me like a chewing gum. It looked like someone could misunderstand it, but fortunately it was in a corner, so no one noticed.
“Deacon Rachel, what about the bishop?”
“Stay there. Don’t you want to see it?”
As I squint my eyes in the direction Deacon Rachel is pointing, a black lump catches my eye. Everywhere you look, you can see Bishop Lisa, completely black from head to toe. He was sitting near the front of the chapel, looking at the podium with wide eyes.
“Why? Shall we go to where the bishop is?”
“Oh, no. It’s just here. What…”
I don’t really want to get involved, so I shake my head.
Then, this time, I turned my gaze to the left in the direction where Isabelle and Sylvia were.
Fortunately, the two of them were sitting comfortably without going anywhere.
“We will perform the ceremony!”
The advent ceremony begins with such a loud voice. The cardinals and archbishops who were standing in line behind the Pope began to move hurriedly as soon as he finished speaking.
It was finally the moment of my first encounter with the Holy Spirit Amanes.
